I nodded. "I guess the night was a success." "It was." I didn't realize it but he was in my face now, only a step away. His hand went for my waist, pulling me into him. "Let's keep it that way because my mother is right by the door trying to listen in on us. I guess we weren't very convincing." I took a slight peep and there was a shadow right at the door. "What should we do?" I mouthed His hand lifted my chin. "A kiss should do the trick."
View MoreAIDEN'S POVFor a second, it seemed like time was suspended in air and my world was spiralling right before my very eyes. The intelligence team looked as confused as ever and as I entered, everyone was fussing around, doing something and nothing. Everywhere seemed to have been thrown into a state of pandemonium and in that moment, it seemed as though my world was revolutionizing right before my very eyes and there was almost nothing I could do about it. "Ahem!" I called out to get their attention. Sadly, it didn't work. Alison looked at me with some sort of pitiful eyes, it irked me so badly. The last thing I ever want is for someone to pity me in any way. "Can I get your attention people?!"Still no response. It was almost like my voice was drowned by the waves of commotion that had taken over the Intelligence room. I became lost, lost in the sense that I didn't really know what to do and it made my stomach churn uncomfortably, if there was one thing that I didn't like, it was
SCARLETT'S POVI knew that someone had to pinch me out of this trance because I couldn't believe my eyes and I surely didn't want to believe that Charlie Fox was the person I was seeing on TV. ‘Charlie Fox, Really?’ I mumbled in my head.The scary part was that the crowd seemed to be cheering on for him and it was live on television! You're only streamed on live television if you were someone of real importance and you had something extraordinary to contribute to the well being of the society. What on earth did this man have to contribute to the society? I needed to be dreaming and hence, I knew that someone had to seriously snap me out of this terrible trance. As I struggled to recover from the image my eyes had just seen on TV, I watched as the camera panned from Charlie Fox on TV and was more focused on some other important personality that seemed to have arrived at the scene. It panned all the way to a car and a whole hoard of journalists, reporters and what not and it seeme
AIDEN'S POV5...4...3...2...I was counting down inwardly to when the mob would finally be close enough and request to see those in the car. Of course, the whole plan was engineered by Charlie Fox himself. He had the whole plan doctored and controlled and we were being used like pawns in a game of chess.Who did this guy think he was? How do I get rid of him? The crowd was drawing closer and I knew they were going to be very very close any minute or moment from now and I mentally prepared. I looked at my driver from the rear view mirror as if to silently communicate to him and he nodded in response, our eyes had met each other and we both responded and communicated with each other faster than eyes ever could. As if on cue, the crowd soon gathered around the car demanding a statement from New York's richest and most eligible Bachelor, there were however in for a rude shock. "We demand a statement.... We demand a statement," they shouted and demanded in union whilst holding down
CHAPTER 110 SCARLETT'S POV An air of tension built up inside the car, but I didn't really give two hoots about that. My little Blip was important to me and I would always put him first. Wait... Him?? I was referring to it as a him? And why was I talking as if it was already certain that I was keeping it? We finally arrived the hospital, but we arrived about thirty minutes after we got the call because as much as I wanted us to get here faster, there seemed to be a little build up of trafffic which was very unusual considering the time and the part of the city that we were. Usually, this part of the city had almost zero traffic and so it came off as quite the surprise when I saw the traffic that was building up. Thankfully, it wasn't at it's peak yet and I was able to get to the hospital. I really just hope that it wasn't too late, because that would be a damn shame. I walked into the hospital and I instantly found myself at the reception facing the receptionist direct
AIDEN'S POVPenelope... That name lived rent free in my head now. How could I have been so dumb? How could I possibly have been so stupid not to read between the lines and look to see that I was been played the whole entire time??? Damn! I was such a big fool. "Drive me to the company right now,""Yes Sir," Donald answered as he geared up and drove back to the company. I instinctively checked my phone and as I expected, Scarlett had still not returned my calls. Those idiots supposed to be protecting her are definitely firedThey wouldn't pick their damn phones and I was seriously losing my shit with each passing second. "Could you drive any slower. Drive the damn car faster or I would collect the wheels and do it for you and consider yourself fired!""I'm sorry Sir, I was just trying to be careful because they seem to be a little traffic,"Traffic?? Traffic by 4pm on the downtown part of the city? As I questioned myself, I looked out the window and honest to God, there was a
SCARLETT'S POV I felt so eager to return my back to the car, knowing I’d left a my phone back in the car at some point. It almost felt like the journey to the car was terribly long and there was no way in hell I could handle all the emotions flooding my body in that instant. At long last, we arrived at the car and I was more than pleased because it already seemed like we wouldn't be getting here anytime soonest. My Doctor had left me with about five missed calls and two messages. I opened my message box and one was Aiden and surprisingly the other was from the hospital. Apparently, Aiden tried reaching out to me. Well, that did nothing to my anxiety because it made me worry and fear the unknown even more. I opened the text from the Doctor, it had come in a little over an hour ago. "You are eight minutes behind your appointment, you would need to check in as there in for appointment soon as the schedule for the week is booked and failure to come in would mean rescheduling for

SCARLETT'S POVI was utterly confused by the events of all that had happened so far and I knew that I needed an escape. I needed to be somewhere I could clear my head and just think clearly. The pregnancy, the contract, Odessa, Aiden's obsession with a new girl that happens to be Odessa's friend.... The list was endless. I knew it would be hard for me to escape my security protocol and I just made arrangements with the one that followed me around, he had kind eyes and when he began to drive me home, I had no choice but to quickly cut in. "Please, can you not take me home directly?" I asked in the calmest voice I could muster, I really needed to be in a safe space to clear my head because goodness gracious! I was totally spent. "Ma'am, the boss required that we bring you home directly, I cannot go against orders Ma'am," He chipped in with that formally polite tone he always used. "You know, I nev
AIDEN'S POVI still couldn't wrap my head around all that happened back at the office. For some very weird reason, it felt like my memory wiped and my head had gone blank for a very long time. I remember waking up to see Pen looking over some documents on my desk. They were several documents scattered round the table and it looked like she had been perusing them for a while.Had I really been that wasted? What possibly happened?"Hey, what happened?" I had asked, it was truly strange and I couldn't fathom what took place, plus, I had a million questions that I needed answers to."Oh Aiden, you're finally awake, I thought you were going to be sleeping for much longer" she has replied in her usual chatty voice. I noticed her eyes were bright and I remember we had both been drinking, that part didn't really make any sense to me. Again, she was obviously flushed, as if she
Scarlett's POV Mr. Matthew, the secretary seemed to wait up for me as he led the way. He knocked thrice before stepping aside and letting me in. Staring like a freak, I gaped at the magnificent interior. I had not an ounce of artistic skills but I knew a work of art when I saw one. A large mahogany desk with brown blinds hanging from behind. A beautifully white tiled floor that I could see my reflection in them. I stood in the middle, completely lost when a voice called out to me. “Are you done?” I looked forward to finding a dashing young man staring right at me with a blank look. I blushed vigorously as I made my way to him. Taking a closer look, he was breathtaking. His jet black hair styled so effortlessly my breathe seized. The tailored suit fitted to his large frame I could almost imagine what was underneath. He gave me a weird look and I realized I was staring again. "I'm sorry. Your office is so beautiful, I couldn’t help myself.” He simply nodded, offering me ...
