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
Candice povThe past two weeks had been hell for me. Houston had betrayed and I had been left with utterly nothing! My dreams to have Aiden was nothing more than a complete nightmare. Aiden had been a mess and instead of hitting me himself, he hired others to do a job.Every night, I would be tortured vigorously to the point that I had completely lost sleep.This wasn't what I wanted at all!I had completely loosed all hope to have him and to be honest, I didn't want to have him anymore... I just wanted him to get Fiona back and come back to his senses.When Aiden found out that Houston was in Dubai, he spent no time but to move out immediately and brought me with him. Unfortunately, it wasn't for leisure and he locked me in the basement of one of the mansions he had in Dubai.I was tied to a chair, in the dark, shivering and regretting all my life decisions.Aiden had completely ruined my life! He had bought company and made sure that I and my family were drowning in severe bankrupt
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.) Houston said sounding awfully cheerful."Let's meet." Aiden said solemnly.(Are you kidding right now?) Houston bursted into laughter. (How can you expect.)"Shut your trap." Aiden cut in with a growl.

A showdown?Staring at Houston who was seated on a car hood, anger coursed through my veins. I wanted to slap him so hard.Aiden got out of the car and the other cars he had left behind, stopped behind him and soon.. guns and men.This was going to end bad, I was extremely worried.I was starting to prefer staying in the dark basement, being tied to a chair either talking to myself or crying my eyes out.I wished I could turn back time though.To when I was still in highschool.

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
Author's POV. Aidan gripped the bed hard and tried not to let the disappointment overwhelm him. He sighed and rubbed Fiona's hair absentmindedly. He watched as the portly man left the room leaving just the two of them. "I don't like that doctor" He tried to joke, as he grabbed her other hand. He sniffed and hoped the tears keep at bay, for he wouldn't cry. Not when his wife was here fighting for her life and trying to come back for his sake and their baby's. "He says you're not coming back anytime soon. Is..is that right?" He asked into space, dumping the nail nipped into the bin. "I know he isn't right, but damn I need to hear it from you?" He patted her hair and nuzzled her cheeks while staring forlornly into her eyes. "Talk to me." He whispered, hating that she was nothing more than just immobile. Her soft inhaling and exhaling eased his taut muscles a bit, and he sighed. At least she wasn't dead, and that was all that mattered. "Talk to me." His voice lowered even more,

She felt tired and dizzy and was incredibly craving for alcohol which she couldn't drink. She had to hold on for a few more months.She placed her hand on her stomach, smiling slowly. "Soon." She told herself."Well, well, well." An irritating gruff voice erupted behind her and her eyes snapped open.She turned to the direction to see up to twenty men. They were all holding guns and pointing it at her.Fiona sighed. She thought that all her problems was over but of course she was wrong."What?" She asked angrily."What an attitude." One of them chuckled and she felt someone grab her from behind.She screamed, kicked straight in the groin and turned to look at him as he fell to the ground."Moron!

It's just.....my daughter is finally married and I can't help but feel sad about it. I feel as if it was only a day ago when I held her
AUTHORDo you really think so little of me Fiona?" Aiden asked Fiona. He knows that she was saying all of this because of the pregnancy hormones and that she doesn't really mean it but he was hurt that she'd ever consider that he'd leave because she lost her shape after giving birth to her child. "I don't think that way of you at all. I know that you love me but people change right? What if I go out of shape and you decide that I am no longer what you want?! I think that I am going to lose my mind for real if you leave me....I can't handle that for the life of me" she told AidenAiden took her hand in his "I am just going to tell you this once Fiona so listen. You're pregnant with my child. You're putting your life on the hold to have my child. I am never going to leave you just because you lost your shape after having my child. And for goodness sake, even if you grow old and become ugly, I won't leave you. I am not with you because ot my looks. I am with you because I love you. The
FIONA'S POV"You know that I am not doing anything and that they are actually right. I don't want that at all. I want to do something to earn my keep. I know that I am pregnant but that doesn't mean that I am handicapped. I can still do something " I said. I don't like the way Aiden keeps treating me like I can't do anything for myself. I think that I am going to lose my mind if he keeps treating me like this for the duration of my pregnancy. I'd definitely lose my mind if this continues itself. "Who said that you're not doing anything by being here with me? Seeing your face everyday motivates me to work harder. And once I am motivated to work harder, it means that I can earn a lot of money for the company and those people talking will get paid on time. So you see, you being here is actually helping everyone. Do you see how much you're helping me out now?" Aiden asked me. I could not help but burst into laugher when I heard this. "You're impossible Aiden! I can't believe that you
AIDEN'S POVI entered my office after I was done with the meeting. I sighed. All of the people who are working for me are really stressing me out. They are supposed to do thier jobs but there's nothing that anyone of them can do right. They keep making mistakes on top of mistakes. They are all starting to get on my nerves. .I took off my tie as soon as I entered my office and lossened the first buttons of my shirt. I saw Fiona sleeping on the couch. I frowned. Isn't she uncomfortable?!I have told her many times that she doesn't need to come here for me and that she can just go back home and rest once the pregnancy gets too much for her and she wants to sleep. Why doesn't she ever listen at all ? "What are you doing here Fiona?" I asked as I tried to position her on the bed without waking her up as quietly as I could.I took a blanket and tried to cover her with it but she woke up anyway. "What are you doing here Fiona? Didn't I tell you that you can go back and sleep whenever y
Author's POVFew weeks later. Fiona groaned loudly as she entered into the fitting room for yet another time. This was the fifth....sixth? Honestly she's lost count of how many it was. Her mom and Eric's wife Esther were there with her. She went out to show her critiques who sat regally on the chair sipping lemonade. She eyed them dubiously and mouth "really??" With an arched eyebrow. They were only sitting there, enjoying a glass of lemonade and scrolling through the magazine while Fiona was made to endure the prickling and prodding of the stylist. "What do you think??" She asked without much enthusiasm. She felt beautiful but she wanted to hear from them. She gasped, stood up and walked towards her with beaming smiles on their faces."Oh my! You look adoring." Esther squealed into her hand and giggled excitedly. Fiona rolled my eyes as her mum and Esther passed a secret look at themselves. It was secretive if they were passing those looks in front of her. She almost facepalm
Author's POV"I suggest you avoid doing anything that could bring back those painful memories." He said to him quietly.Aidan nodded diligently, his eyes filled with a brimming happiness that seemed highly contagious. "She has been greatly traumatized and her brain is still having problem accepting the reality. Care and rest is all she needs right now. And do ensure that she eats a lot of food and makes she doesn't get upset" Rodriguez added calmly. Aidan had rushed out to call the doctor when the initial shock had wear off him. And thank goodness he did. "I congratulate you once again Mr Aiden." He bowed stiffly, before moving out. Since the doctor didn't want Fiona to listen in on his diagnostic, they were conversing in the corridor.The thought of Fiona going through the hardship of accepting the harsh reality was already hitting Aiden.... hard. A trickle pain of hers turned to an ocean of his own. If he could take her pain as his own, he would. Without thinking twice!He str
