SCARLETT’S POV

‘It was getting harder,’

‘I absolutely didn’t know for how much longer I could keep this a secret,’

‘Never have I been so confused at a point in my life before. Aiden had no idea I was pregnant, Odessa and Charlie Fox needed an answer and I absolutely didn’t know what to do,’

My phone rang to pull me out of my thoughts. It was just as I had feared, the private number whose calls I have been avoiding.

I summoned every ounce of courage in me and finally decided to pick up the damn phone. This was the umpteenth time the number was calling me.

“You really think we have all the time in the world, now don’t you Scar?”

I hated when she called me that.

“I’m not done deciding. What did you tell Aiden and what did he say?” I asked, I wondered if she was the one behind those pictures.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be so bothered about my discu

    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 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

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??

    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

    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

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....

    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

    SCARLETT'S POV I heard his voice.... and I knew that voice damn too well. It was a voice that I had heard in my sleep. A voice I dreamt about.. A voice that whispered in my ears whilst taking me to the heavens.. I knew that voice too damn well... It was AIDEN's. I suddenly heard some commotion outside the door, the nurse and I looked at each other and she said "Can you hold on Miss. Scarlett, let me see what the source of the noise is". I already knew what the source of the noise was, it wasn't news to me at all but I had so many unanswered questions and the one that topped the list of my questions was, How on earth did he know I was here? I just nodded in agreement to what she said and watched as she disappeared through the door to go check out what was going on. Whatever it was,

    AIDEN'S POV"Take me to the damn hospital now!" I replayed that conversation in my head for a while, even as I gave an order to the Intelligence team and told them specifics on what to do in order to avert this situation going haywire. "I need you all to work hand in hand and track down that credit card before she has a chance to fly out or leave the damn country with the code that controls the entire company's intelligence..."As I mumbled out instructions, my eyes darted to the television and my senses instantly became at alert. "Can someone please turn up the volume of that screen behind" I asked, without my glance ever leaving the screen. "On it Sir," A guy with dark brown hair in the Intelligence team said. I took a quick glance at him and noticed he was shirtless. How on earth is he shirtless in a formal meeting? Wait... They were about three of them without shirts. Some wore shirts with shorts unde

    AIDEN'S POVWhat was Scarlett doing in the hospital? Why was she there all by herself and what the fuck is she hiding away from me? "Lucas, could you be more clear please?" I said over the phone. I needed to make sure that I wasn't the one hearing things and that something was actually wrong. At this point, everyone in the board room just started at me aimlessly. They must all have varying degrees of thoughts going on in their nerdy heads, but I didn't really care. The love of my life was most likely not okay and nothing comes before Scarlett... Nothing"Excuse me," I said as I made my way out of the peering eyes of the board room. I needed to sort out some things and even though my company was falling apart and I stood a high chance of losing everything I had ever worked for, Scarlett was still the ruler of my thoughts. "Could you please give her the phone

    SCARLETT'S POV"There is a problem, Miss. Scarlett" the doctor had said as I sat to face him in his office. The office reminded me of the Principal's office in my high school, everyone knew that been called into the Principal's office meant that you were either in very big trouble or you had done some amazing good and so, when anyone would walk into the class and say "You have been summoned/called into the Principal's office", your heart would do a thousand cartwheels and you'll be caught wondering and pondering over your actions in the last few days. Have I been bad? Did the Principal catch me at the frat party drinking? Was he at the club the other night when I was dancing with Robin in the twelfth grade? A million questions would run across your head in a minute and your heart would pound as though it wanted to burst out of your shirt. If you were being called in for outstanding conduct, you would feel so p

    AIDEN'S POV"Before 2 weeks ago, Penelope Brendan didn't exist" Donald's words felt like a hammer was driven right through my chest and I couldn't even understand why. I had met Pen exactly two weeks ago and she had made me believe that we went to the same high school. I could literally swear that we actually did go to the same high school and I also remember being on the same class project with her, so how come I was just finding out that she didn't exist? "Donald, I need a little more clarification here. What exactly do you mean by Penelope not existing? " I asked, hoping to just hear something different, something I could hold on to, something that wouldn't really make me seem like a crazy guy or look like a weirdo in front of my entire staff. "She might have been going with another name, but after our multiple findings, we discovered that she actually goes by several names and we found pictures of her in different countries

    SCARLETT'S POVI proceeded to enter inside the office. It was almost like I carefully counted my steps as I entered inside the office. Something about the Doctor's office always made me anxious. It was probably just images of how I feared the syringe and I was afraid that the doctors were going to prick my skin with multiple injections just so I could feel better or maybe the traumatic experiences I have had with some doctors when they tried to get my blood samples or something. Overall, seeing the doctor made me terrified and so when the receptionist had announced my name, it just made me scared and quite terrified to be honest. "Miss.Scarlett, you can go in now" The chatty voice of the receptionist rang non stop in my head.It was almost very tempting for me to say "No Ma'am, please I'll come back some other time"I badly wanted to echo out those words but I couldn't, I was terrified because I feared for Aiden, I d

    AIDEN'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
