AIDEN'S POV

"Where is she?" That was the first thing that came out of my mouth the moment I saw him. Wasn't he the guy that was supposed to be guarding Scarlett? What the hell was he doing there standing in front of the entrance of the Hall I was given directions to?

"Welcome Boss" He said as he looked up from his phone, he had been standing and pressing his phone, playing games or something.

It made me boil to the pit of my stomach, how dare he be out here playing games while Scarlett is indoors with a Doctor and we have no idea what's going on.

"Oh please keep your greetings to yourself. Where is Scarlett" I said, cutting him off immediately.

I wasn't here for frivolities or to exchange pleasantries.. I was here because I meant business and I had to stand on that business.

"She's inside the consulting room with the Doctor," He said, and as if on cue. The Doctor made his way into the Hall, most likely to know or f

    SCARLETT'S POV"Yes, we're doing the surgery," As much as those words were the exact words I wanted to hear, it didn't help that it was still haunted and made me scared. Everything after that had just simply gone by in a very big blur, it didn't make sense to me. Why did I have to have that condition? Was my baby going to be safe? Lord please, let my baby be safe."What's the worst possible outcome Doctor?" I asked because I needed to know, I really needed to know what I was up against and what my fears would be. "As we have discussed earlier, Miss. Scarlett... ""Please let's skip the formalities from now on, I'm very okay with you addressing me simply as Scarlett Doctor, since you're going to be my Doctor for a long while, I might as well just get very comfortable,""Point taken, Scarlett," He said it like something foreign or new to his tongue, with a very ridiculous facial expression, it made me almost g

    AIDEN'S POV‘The guts to actually call me…’She called me and acted as though it were all normal, nothing was normal about stealing from your supposed friend and calling them like a bitch. "Hello Handsome," The voice came through, so subtle and so evil. Did her voice change and she had been using a different kind of voice to communicate with me? ‘No...no it didn't, it never changed. It was always there’I wonder how I never noticed the evil undertone to her voice, it was right there all this time, I was either too busy to notice or didn't bother to care less. "What do you want, Pen?" I asked, picking my words very carefully. She laughed... A very hearty, deep throaty laughter that echoed for a while even over the phone. "You know, for someone who's on the verge of losing everything, you seem to pride yourself so much," She said. "What... Do... You... Want, Pen" I was biting down on my l

    SCARLETT'S POV“Why on earth was the witch calling me?” I grumbled staring at the screen of my phone. Contemplating whether or not to have the damn call picked."Hello Odessa," I mustered the nicest voice I could to answer that call. "Oh, you think I called you to exchange pleasantries? " Her snarky voice came through. To be fair, I genuinely disliked her voice and it had nothing to do with her being Odessa, it had everything to do with the voice. Odesssa spoke in a manner that irritated the senses, the way she spoke nasally and made her words come out of her nose, it was the craziest thing for me and it always made me feel like punching the little air she had in her. "What do you want from me?" "I want you to do all that I have asked. Is that too much to ask?""It's complicated now... There's a lot more at stake and I can't even make a rash decision anymore.

    AIDEN'S POVI could tolerate anything, but definitely not anyone toying with Scarlett. That, I could NEVER tolerate, not even in my dreams. "Don't you dare talk about messing with Scarlett like that anymore," I said with a very warning tone glaring at her. She needed to know that I don't mess around with Scarlett and there was no way in hell I was letting her get close to Scarlett. "You love to dare me Aiden, and I love to see it, you're not the one in control here. Just in case no one has told you yet,” She said with a warning tone. "Don't dare me Pen, don't even try it " She needed to know that I don't mess up, and I'm not playing games. "Let's head back to the mansion," I informed Donald. "Have you called Lucas yet?" I needed to know the update about Scarlett and if she was still in the hospital. "Yes Boss, I got off the phone with him a few minutes ago, he said it appears that Miss. Scarlett is

    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

    Scarlett's POV "It's true," Dad said, not making eye contact as he sank deeper in his seat, shame looming over him. I was confused. "What's true, Dad?" I looked between him and my mother was stood as a pillar, taking his hand in her's, providing comfort. "I embezzled the company's fund." He hung his head in shame. "Why would you do that? You were doing so well." I couldn't believe the man who sat right in front of me. My father taught me right from wrong and he would never do such a thing. The man before me wasn't him "I wasn't. The CEO gave us pennies and I wanted you to have the best of things. You went to private schools and got into one of the best colleges out there. I couldn't let your dream shatter due to a little money." He tried defending himself but his voice wasn't convincing anyone. "How much are we talking about?" My brows met as I eyed him warily Dad kept his lips shut, unable to say anything. I looked over at my mom who took a moment before saying,"About a millio

    Scarlett's POV "You can't be serious." My jaw dropped at the new contract laid out in front of me. "This wasn't what we discussed last time." He shrugged. "You shouldn't have disagreed with me." I eyed him warily, waiting for an explanation. He sighed, leaning in closer. "I just learned my family wouldn't accept a kid out of wedlock and I need one to get my inheritance. Something about proving how responsible I am." His voice was low, in a whisper. I snorted. He wasn't responsible and every tabloid out there would prove that. "Why are you whispering? We are in your office. It's not like anyone can hear us." He leaned back, giving off that powerful aura he always had. "The walls have ears." He stared me dead in the eyes, uttering his next words with a deadly threat in them. "No one can know about this, I don't care how close they are to you and I believe your parents wouldn't utter a word." I gave a fake laugh. "I'm not agreeing to this. This is insane." I pushed the contract a

    Scarlett POV "My family is expecting us in a few days. We need to make a good first impression, especially on my grandmother." He gulped his wine in one sip. He was really nervous. Somehow that affected me. I was nervous now. What if they didn't like me? As if reading my mind, he answered. "They'd love you. You just need to watch out for my mother. She's a little.." He trailed off, searching for the right words. "Cruel with her words." I gulped, my shaky hands aiming for my glass. "This is going to be fun," I whispered under my breath but he caught it and responded with a smirk. We were trying to play it cool but we were both nervous. My future is on the line from just one family meeting. It should be easy. *** * "This is her?!" A loud, screeching voice aimed at me yelled. "She looked better in the pictures you sent." I threw a quick glance at Aiden. What was his mother talking about? How did they get a hold of my pictures? The man I assumed to be Aiden's dad turned to his

    SCARLETT'S POV"Miss. Scarlett, it seems you have Vasa Previa" "Miss Scarlett.... Miss. Scarlett... Miss. Scarlett!" Jeez, my goodness. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry,""You literally zoned out Ma'am. Are you sure you're fine?" The doctor asked with worry written all over his eyes. My heart went out to him, he seemed so tired and looked like he could just drop down unconscious any second and yet he was being kind and compassionate to me. It made me feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy inside. Or maybe it was just the Mummy hormones? "I'm fine Doctor, I just had to ponder on what you said... What do you mean by Va... sa…”"Type 2 Vasa Previa Ma'am. It's a condition that means your body has somewhat developed an umblical clot, you require surgery to remove it else it might rupture and kill the baby and it could ultimately affect you too" The Doctor said in his explanation. My Baby? My Baby wasn't s

    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
