Fiona's POVI let out a low groan as I tried to stand up on my own. However, I ended falling against the bed and hurriedly wiped away curious lone tears that dropped down my face. "This is not the time for tears." I mumbled to myself as I wiped the few other droplet of tears. To be honest, I was still in disbelief that Houston could do something like this... To keep me like this... To make sure to put me in a state that I had to use crutches. I was baffled. This was a nightmare. He kept talking about love, it irked me. I sighed deeply and managed to raised myself to sit comfortably on the bed but just I let out a deep sigh to loosen my heavy chest, the door flung open and he swayed in precariously. Was it too bad to pray that he should fall and smash his head in the process? /I gripped the bedsheet protectively and glared at him murderously."So cute." He chuckled, a low sound that sent my hair standing on the end. "Now now, who do we have here?" He peered down at me. My body
Houston's POVI could hear a distant howling voice in my left ear, where Fiona's hand had done a great job of whacking. It hurt badly too. Rubbing my ear, I ran down the stairs, heading to the corridor with my eyes wide. I had become sober at just her first hit to my cheek. She was strong."Anything you need boss?" My manservant rushed at my feet. I sighed frustratedly and stopped to spit out the blood from my mouth into the little basin. Fiona had truly done a good job.She was my feisty little one."Yes. Get me a doctor." I told him commandingly while rubbing my sore cheek . "Yes sir." He said with a respectful nod then walked away. Turning to the left corridor where my office was located, I punched in the code and entered the room. It was a cozy little room, painted blue.My gaze swept to the table where piles of file laid unopen on the table. Scoffing, I walked towards the shelf, grabbed a whiskey and poured it into a crystal glass. "Oh..." I clicked my tongue as I held t

Author povStanding on the roof of a skyscraper that gave him the beautiful night view of city of Dubai, Aiden closed his eyes relishing the wind that blew across him his face. His jaws were clenched, his face the complete opposite of Serene and he held his phone in a tight grip as evidence of the veins popping out.Earlier, Eric given him information on Houston's whereabouts but he knew that it wasn't a good idea to just barge in with the fear that Houston might hurt her out of fear of being corneredHe gritted his teeth and his eyes snapped open, darkening with rage and uncertainty.Slowly, he raised his phone to his face, switched it on and dialed Houston's number.He picked up immediately.(Hey there.)

Author's POVAidan rushed to grab Fiona before she could hit the ground but he was a trifle late. Fiona had landed on the ground with a loud thump. He gathered her into his arms, uncaring of the chaos and noise in the background. Nothing was important anymore. "Fiona please, look at me." He nuzzled her cheek and whispered into her ear fiercely. He got no response. Fiona laid there, her body slack and unmoving. His heart thumped violently inside his chest, and a moisture trickled down his face. Whether sweat or tears, he couldn't tell. But his eyes stung hotly. "Fiona! Fiona! Listen to me you can't do this to me! You can't leave me!" He screamed, shaking her.No! No! She couldn't leave him."Please." He pleased, heaving into her hair."Please don't leave me!" He cried out.If she was going to die, there was no need for him to live too.Without her life was completely meaningless.Her baby...their baby. The thought sent him into a howling frenzy and sorrow clouded his gaze. He was
Author's POVThe arrangements had been going smoothly save for the stupid clerk that delayed their flight. He eyed him with in annoyance and fought the urge to bang his fist on the table. "The issue has been rectified sir. And they'll be here in less than 5 hours." The man stuttered. A light sheen of sweat was visible on his brow and his fingers tightened on his tie. If he wasn't careful, he was going to hang himself with the bloody thing. "And yet, they had been delayed with 5 hours. Because of what?.." he raised his brows in inquiry.The clerk man caught his trembling lips in his teeth and he looked like he might burst into tears anytime soon.Aiden tsked and decided to spare the poor man, and threw on his shade. He went straight to the parking lot and drove out of the airport. Something really needed to be done about his private jet. He would let his manager handle that, later.Once he was done with his issue right now. His fingers tightened on the steering wheel and his mout
Author's POVThe sun beamed in the sky, slanting around the glass and it's light playing on different colors. Aidan's eyes took no note of his surrounding as his legs, by muscle memory moved powerfully and elegantly. Just a week ago, he had transferred Fiona to his company's private hospital and he was much more relieved and a tad bit relaxed. In this place, he was sure of absolute treatment. And not just absolute treatment but with the addition of the best medical practitioners that existed. He walked into her ward which was very much like that of the previous hospital where they left in Dubai. However, the only difference was the size and the atmosphere. Instead of the suppressed and oppressive atmosphere, that reeked of chlorine and cleaning agent. This place was kept fresh and clean, devoid of any oppressive smell. Floral and lemon scent took over as soon as he walked into the room, closing the door gently behind him. Fiona laid on the bed, looking just like she did a month
