THIRD PERSON POVAiden was a bit early to arrive at the office, Fiona joined him minutes later. They both got into his car and drove to the airport, where they boarded Aiden's private jet.The air around them was tense as multiple thoughts ran through both of their heads.As the jet took off, Fiona couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. The thought of being alone with Aiden for several hours was both exciting and intimidating. Aiden, on the other hand, was lost in thought, trying to come up with a plan to solve his current predicament.After a few minutes of silence, Aiden turned to Fiona and cleared his throat. "Let's get married," he said.The shock on Fiona was immediate and evident. She stared at Aiden in disbelief, wondering if she had heard him correctly. "What?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "I said let's get married," Aiden repeated, his tone serious. Fiona's mind was racing. Was Aiden serious? Was he proposing to her? Or was he just trying to solve his own p
FIONA POV"soo- we are married now?" I asked hesitantly.Everything was moving a bit too fast, I couldn't believe I had just signed a marriage contract without even giving myself time to think."Yes Fiona, yes we are" Aiden smirked."How about we let the public know already?" Aiden suggested."How? and isn't that a bit too fast?" I asked."Take pics and post them. I don't think it's too fast, the quicker the better" Aiden replied."No Aiden! no one is going to believe it when we post out of the blue that we got married" I tried to reason with him.Aiden paused for a bit, considering my opinion."So what do you suggest we do then?" Aiden asked, finally speaking up."How about we start a bit small? obviously not really small but maybe we could say we started dating secretly and now we just got engaged?" I asked."So you're saying we should have a pretend wedding but in the presence of our family and other guests?" Aiden asked skeptically."Well yes" I muttered."Isn't that a bit too muc
CHAPTER 12AIDEN'S POVI faced Fiona as the driver took the both of us to my penthouse that I had bought when I arrived in town a few months ago. She is now my wife...it all felt so surreal to me. I had never thought about getting married before. To me, it was just work. Why should I waste my time trying to get along with another person when I could just put that time into my work? I was perfectly fine having one night stands only. There was no feelings involved and both parties knew what to expect from each other. But my parents just had to see me get married....it's really frustrating having parents hound you about spending your life with someone else when all that you want is to be left alone. At least they won't have any complaints about Fiona at all. It satisfies thier wish to have a daughter in law and Fiona is actually one of the few women that I can stand. And also, sleeping with her wasn't bad at all. In fact, I enjoyed it a lot. A bit too much. I frowned when I remembe
CHAPTER 13FIONAI removed my hand from Aiden's immediately we were alone in the room. It wasn't because I didn't like it. On the contrary, it's because I like it too much. We signed a contract...in one year, we will be going our seperate ways. It doesn't matter how attracted to him right now, it's never going to happen between us. So I need to guard my fragile heart and make sure that I don't fall in love with him in the one year that we will spending together. The key to doing that is to make sure that I keep my distance from him as much as possible. I can handle the public display of affection once we are outside but if we are alone, I have to stay as far away from him as possible so I don't end up doing something foolish. Aiden looked down when I removed my hand from his but then he was back to normal, as if he had expected this from the beginning. "So ..this is the master bedroom. The closet is big enough for the both of us... there's also a walk in closet...you can get your
FIONAI stood in the bathroom as I scrubbed my body with a sponge. I tried hard to calm down my erratic heart with the water but it wasn't working at all. I kept thinking back to the man who was waiting for me outside. I know that he's not going to let go of this so easily. He's going to keep harping on it...I had basically just made a fool of myself in front of him....I rested my head on the wall. What on earth was I thinking? And why the hell can't I just seem to control myself in front of him? It's just sharing a bed with him .. it's not like we are going to sleep together. And I know that Aiden is a real gentleman who will never take advantage of me. The only reason I'm so scared is because I know that I will never be able to control myself in front of him. I'll end up making mistakes that I'm sure that I'm going to regret in the end. Just thinking about it all gave me a horrible headache. I finally decided to stop washing. If I continued like this, I'm definitely going to get
AIDEN'S POVI really don't know what I was thinking when I gave my shirt to Fiona. I know that I should have just given her what she wanted. A pair of PJs. It might have been too big for her but it will definitely cover up all of her curves and stop me from doing something that I will ultimately end up regretting. But as usual whenever I'm with Fiona, all of my sense of reasoning fly away. I didn't want to see her in oversized PJs that see just going to cover up her alluring figure. I wanted to see her in my shirt...a shirt that will show off all of her curves. Since I am no longer allowed to go close to her an touch her I should at lead get to look at her right? It's just that I don't know if I'm doing myself a favor or if I'm setting up a trap for myself by doing this. I'm already having a hard time controlling myself when she's in proper clothes so how am I supposed to do that when she's wearing just my shirt and lying next to me in my bed? I Shook my head mentally, knowing tha
CHAPTER 16AUTHOR'S POVAiden and Fiona lay on the bed. The both of them were unable to go back to sleep no matter how hard they tried. Aiden got up immediately. "Do you want to do something? Maybe talk? There's no way that I can go to bed with this much tension between us" Aiden said. Fiona shook her head. She didn't want to have a conversation with him. She had a feeling that she will lose control of herself if she dared to talk to him in this condition. "I think that we should have some wine in the living room. What do you think?" Fiona asked.Aiden smiled. "Of course" he said. .....Half an hour later, the both of them were in the living room drunk. Or rather Fiona was drunk. She grinned at Aiden. "You know that you are so good looking right?" She asked him.Aiden was shocked to hear this from Fiona But then he saw that her eyes weren't focused at all and he immediately knew what was going on with her. She's just dead drunk. She doesn't have control over any of her actions n
AUTHOR POV"Go away" he said and pushed her away. Fiona looked at Aiden with anger and disappointment in her eyes. But he really didn't care anymore. Or he didn't even want to care. He just want to her to be out of this place. He can't afford to make this mistake. "What the hell is wrong with you? One second you want it and another you want me to get lost?. Why do you have so many mood twists?" She asked me. "Just get out Fiona. Get out now" Aiden said. He need her to get out of here before he does something that he will regret. Right now, the only thing he could think of was pinning her on the bed and having his way with her. .the alcohol isn't doing much to help either. He really needs her to get out of here before he falls to the temptation and does something that he will regret. She got up and scoffed at him. "have a good time wacking off all by yourself!" She said and walked into the bedroom. She's right. He'll be jacking off all by myself. As Aiden closed his eyes, he

Even the food she hated as a norm was now her favorite.At night, he had to buy snacks Incase she would begin craving unnecessarily. Sadly, most of the snacks he had gathered, she always rejected.However, she was getting incredibly sensitive."I'm hungryyyy I want pasta!" Fiona cried out from the bedroom.Aiden was in the kitchen which was a complete mess, cooking pasta that she had been crying about for two hours now.She had requested for a sa
Author povStanding outside the bar, to a corner with lights but devoid of people, Fiona had her eyes closed as she breathed slowly. 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! Can't you see that I am a pregnant woman?!" She screamed furiously and snatched the gun away from him, shooting him straight in the head then turned to the othe
AUTHORwhat he had always wanted was the happiness of his daughter and he can't be any more thankful for this. Immediately after the marriage, Fiona and her friends decided that they wanted to go hang out at a bar. Fiona's father wanted to stop them but he thought that thet knew what they were doing and that he should not get involved. He also told himself that he should stop trying to get involved in his daughter's life and stop trying to tell her what to do and what not to do. It just didn't sound okay for him to do that to her..He and his wife went back home after the wedding. Fiona's mother could not hike back her tears. She immediately started crying when they got home. "Why are you crying? Aren't you the one who always said tgat I was being too hard on her and Aiden?" He asked his wife. "Of course you were being too hard on them before this! 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
