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,
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
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
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
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
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
