The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER NINETY
MIA'S POV " Are you sure giving her name was a brilliant idea Aiden?" Audrey asked again in a shaky voice. She was scared, which was understandable. " It is a great idea. I understand you are scared but this is a great bait which I have laid down for whoever is behind all of this." Aiden told her assuringly. I was actually surprised to hear all of these right now. I wondered why he never thought of telling me about it. When I just heard it, I was kind of offended with him for just informing me. Rightly put, he didn't inform me about it. It just came up in the conversation. As much as I understand what he was trying to do, he should have told me. Finally, Jordan left and Audrey made her way to her room. I freshened up and sat on the bed waiting for him to come back inside. As much as I'm grateful to him for doing this, I was also angry at him for not informing me.I know I'm living with an ongoing threat to my life and safety, making Aiden's concern for my well-being understandabl

AIDEN'S POVI stood alone on the desolate beach, my heart heavy with loneliness. The rhythmic crashing of the waves mirrored my tumultuous emotions, magnifying my overwhelming sense of emptiness. The vibrant sunset painted the sky in hues of orange and purple, but no amount of beauty could diminish the ache in my chest. Mia had embarked on a much-needed vacation, leaving me behind due to an ongoing investigation that demanded my constant presence. Although I understood the importance of my commitment to my work, the void left by her absence was vast and profound. The once-familiar warmth of her presence felt like a distant memory, and I longed for the comfort of her touch. I knew that his absence was necessary, that his duty as an investigator came first but as the days turned into weeks, the weight of my isolation grew heavier. The familiar spaces we once shared were now haunting reminders of our togetherness, amplifying my separation from Mia. Walking through the beach, I wished

AIDEN'S POV " You don't understand Mia. I will literally go crazy just waiting to be with you for another week." I whined. "Stop messing around Aiden. It is just for another week." She scolded before changing her voice to a softer one. " I will be back before you know it. I'm sure you can survive without me for another week my love. Besides, you don't want the money you spent for this whole trip to be wasted. We would break Jayden's tiny little heart if I were to inform him that we can no longer stay for another week as planned. ""Alright. I just hope you will meet me alive when you return back.""Man, stop threatening." She said as she laughed."I'm serious." I huffed. "Just hang in there my love. I will be back very soon."Reluctantly, I had to agree."Okay fine. I love you so much.""I love you so much more."I could hear her giving me a kiss through the phone. With that, she ended the call. I went to bed feeling happy and relaxed just hearing her voice. I slept like a baby wi

AIDEN'S POV It feels like everything is working against us in this investigation. Mr Q and I searched the whole place and found nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. Little did we know that there were two pairs of eyes watching us while we went through the belongings of the deceased.. Suddenly, we heard a sound. Mr Q followed the noise but before he reached the destination, the person who had been watching us shot in the air. I presume it was a warning gun shot, not meant to kill any one of us. Because, if he was trying to kill us, he would have.The guy who shot the gun ran but before he escaped, Mr Q was able to get a glimpse of him. Which according to him, was going to take ages to find him if we were going to depend on that. We had no choice but to eventually leave the crime scene before someone else saw us. I decided to go see Jordan in his office. I gave him a call to know if he was in the office and to let him know I was coming over there. "What's up buddy? You don't look h

AIDEN'S POV " Then what happens when she asks about it? What are we gonna tell her?" Audrey asked, looking back and forth between me and Jordan. "You can always tell her about it if you want but left to me, I think you shouldn't tell her anything just yet. Imagine receiving bad news right after returning back." Jordan said. I understood where he was coming from but remembering what transpired between Mia and I the time she lost the baby, she wouldn't understand that it was kept from her for her own peace of mind. By now, I know her too well. "Believe me, I know exactly what you mean but knowing Mia, she would prefer I tell her about it right away rather than keep it from her.""Yeah! Aiden is right." Audrey said, nodding her head. " I also remembered how she reacted for days when she lost her baby. All because we kept it from her."" But this news will shatter her hope just like it did to us. It's not really pleasant news."" If only there was anything I could do about this whole

MIA'S POV"This is a really bad Aiden! It is really bad. What do we do now? Where do we go from here?" I asked Aiden with fear evident in my voice. I was still finding it hard to believe what he just told me. I was filled with so many mixed emotions at the same time. "Don't worry about that Mia. I don't want you worrying about this. I only told you about this because I didn't want to keep any secret from you. The reason Mr Q called me right now is because he was able to see the face of the person that shot the guy. He told me he was working on getting someone who could sketch the image and then, they will try to see if they will be able to link him with an identity. So, all hope here is not gone."As much as I didn't want all hope to be gone, there is this sudden fear that gripped me. "What if the image doesn't match up with anyone, Aiden ?" I asked."We just have to keep faith Mia. I will be going over there. I want to be there to see what they are doing. Do you wanna come with me

AIDEN'S POV" What the hell?" I exclaimed in disbelief. I stared blankly at the television as the hideous news about me displayed on the screen. My heart sank as I read the headline - It claimed that l had committed heinous acts of rape, impregnation, and poisoning against my personal Assistant, Mia Anderson. A wave of disbelief washed through me, followed by a profound sense of outrage and confusion. How could anyone even spread such atrocious rumors about me? I have always prided myself for being a decent and respectful person, both professionally and personally. I treated my employees with kindness and I was known for being a fair and supportive employer even though I'm mostly referred to as a cruel business tycoon.These groundless accusations were not just an attack on my reputation. They were an assault to the values I held dear in my life..My initial instinct was to brush them aside. I was confident anyone who knew me well enough would recognize their falsehood. However, as

AIDEN'S POV" Do you think someone from this house must have mentioned it to the wrong ears?" Mia asked me softly. "I don't think that is the case here." I replied, shaking my head. "Why not? I mean, it could still be the same traitor that is living with us that did this."" I really don't know. I wish I had a clue about who did this."What was painful and annoying at the same time is that I have lost so many investors in just less than 24 hours. I just wondered how people are quick to judge other people. These investors are the same people that I have been in partnership with for over years now."What do you plan on doing about this, I mean, how do you rectify this problem Aiden?" Jordan asked. " If only I knew buddy..I'm totally clueless right now. All I wanna do now is to find out how this happened to me."" We need to come up with an idea or plan on how to quench this wildfire before it causes any more damage than it already has."" I think I'm to be blamed for this and I'm so

AIDEN'S POVI anxiously waited in front of Mia's room with Jordan. I could feel Jordan staring at me with pity but my mind was everywhere. I couldn't focus on anything.My phone rang out and I dug it out of my pocket. It was Audrey. I swiped the screen and picked it up." Hello Aiden. Jordan texted me . How's Mia doing? " " I…..I…d…don't k…know. " I croaked out." Just calm down, Aiden. She'll be fine. She's a fighter and has always been a fighter. Nothing will happen to both of them."" I hope so this time. I don't know what I'll do if something were to happen to our baby again. "" Just be positive bro. I'll be with you in a jiffy. Be strong for us. " With that she ended the call." We can't keep standing here, Aiden." Jordan said, " Let's just wait at the reception."I nodded my head in response because I was too weak to argue with him. I wanted to stay there but I have to stay strong for Mia.We walked back to the reception and I sat with my head bowed down. I couldn't help but f

AIDEN'S POVThese past few days have been hell for me since Mia got kidnapped. What a horrible way for someone who just got married to spend her honeymoon. I have exhausted all of my contacts including Jordan's just to get my wife and unborn child back home safe and sound. It has been days with sleepless nights without food. Everywhere in the house has been silent like we were mourning. Which is my greatest fear. I have promised to pay anyone who could provide us with the exact location of where she was taken too.Of course, we have been receiving calls based on that and each time the troops go there, it would turn out to be a force call. So far, there hasn't been anything positive from anywhere. And as for Nadia, we are yet to get any information on her whereabouts. It feels like they all vanished into the thin air. Right now, I'm seated with Audrey, Jordan and Mr. Q. They all had one or two pieces of information they got about Mia and Nadia. " I got a call from someone this mor

PATRICIA'S POVI sat on the couch in my living room watching a soap opera when my phone rang out. I checked the caller and rolled my eyes. I picked up the call and waited a bit for the person on the other end to talk. " Hello ma'am, I have something that might interest you. " The voice said. " It better be news that is worthy of my time. " I said, " There is going to be a wedding tomorrow."" Who cares? " I snapped at her. " Is this why you called me this early? Seriously, I don't know why I'm still putting up with you."" N..No..No ma'am! " she stammered. Even if she was older than I am, she knew better than to get on my wrong side. She knew what I was capable of. Besides, I'm paying her. " Why are you calling me then? " I asked impatiently. " You don't quite understand what I meant. I was trying to inform you that my boss and a'am Mia are getting married tomorrow. "" What? " I almost choked on my saliva. "You mean to tell me that Aiden and Mia are getting married tomorrow a
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
MIA'S POVI woke up in a very dark room with just a little window to let the air into the room. I was sitting on a chair and my hands were tied behind my back but my legs were free. There was also a table in front of me. I groaned softly and tried to adjust myself properly on the chair.I was in pain and my body aches badly. My first thought went to my unborn child. I widened my eyes in panic as I checked myself properly to see if nothing was wrong with my baby. I breathed a sigh of relief when no sign on my body showed that I was in a bad condition. I raised my head up and stared at the ceiling as I had a flashback on how I got here in the first place.Everything was going fine and I couldn't have been happier than I was. My wedding gown was the most beautiful that I have ever seen in the world. Finally, the church wedding ceremony was over and there was this joy in my heart that I just wasn't able to explain when we left for the reception venue. As much as I wanted to still be in

AIDEN'S POV. " Where is Mrs Black? " Jordan asked me, calling Mia by her new last name.Hmm… Mrs Black.. I like the sound of that. " She went in to change some minutes ago with her Aunt. " I replied and then scrunched up my nose when I remembered she should have been away for sometime." That's odd. " " What is odd? " Audrey asked me," They should be out now. " I answered, checking the time on my wristwatch. " Oh God, please…. Let it not be what I'm thinking. " Audrey muttered under her breath but I heard her clearly." What is wrong? " I asked her. I was confused and at the same time, a little bit scared.She and Jordan made their way to the room set aside for Mia without saying another word to me. I followed behind them. The door was locked and then, the scene of what could have gone wrong hit me with full force. ' Mia!!! ' I screamed in my head.Without thinking twice, Jordan kicked the door down. And there was Mia's aunt and one of Mia's bodyguards knocked out with a toxic ch

AUDREY'S POVEverywhere was bubbling with the wedding arrangements of Mia. Finally, we had decided to let the whole household know about Aiden and Mia's secret wedding just. But none was told about the venue until today. Seeing my brother finally getting married to one of the most wonderful women I have ever met in my life is one of the best thing I could ask for in life. I couldn't have asked for a better wife and sister-in-law for Aiden and me. "My goodness, ma'am Audrey, I can't believe sir Aiden's wedding to ma'am Mia is today. Oh! How happy your parents will be wherever they are. " Chef Timothy said." I know, Chef. I wish they were here with us today. " I said, smiling and thinking about them. " Yes, ma'am. I wish so too but I know they are smiling down on us today. " " I believe they are. Are you all set for the church service? ""Yes. I was wondering if we should leave some people behind to watch over the household. " Chef Timothy said, I shook my head. " Not today. Ever

JACKSON'S POVPatricia barged into my office looking so frustrated and ready to kill anyone who got in her way at that very moment." What is the matter? " I asked " Goddamnit!!!. Will this problem ever end? It has been one trouble to the other. " She said , slumping down on the couch in my office. " I thought we had everything well planned out. I was so, Jackson. We were so close and everything turned upside down. "I furrowed my brows in confusion. " You are still not making any sense. " I said, sitting beside her. " Did our boys succeed in snatching away the DNA test result from them? "" Yes, they did." "So, if that is the case, why are you looking so worked up? "" That is the problem, Jackson. Even with that, the plan backfired. "" What do you mean it backfired? "" Damn Aiden!!!. He was more prepared than we were. Just what in the world are we going to do to finally get this guy down? And that stupid specialist you brought sold us out. "" He did what? " I asked in shock "

AIDEN'S POV" Please, sir, don't do that to me," The man pleaded and pointed at Patricia accusingly. " She made me do it. " We all turned to look at Patricia which made her look down in fear — and shame." You did what? " I growled. I was furious. But what is the point of me getting furious over this? When I knew the kind of human being she is. " How dare you!! You ungrateful son of a bitch." Patricia shouted and glared at her doctor. " How dare you tell such lies in my presence? "" No! Young man, she did not. You did it yourself. " My doctor said to Patricia's doctor. " I'm telling the truth here," He replied on the verge of tears. " You tell them, ma'am. " He told Patricia who was glaring at him. " She may have suggested it to you but in your consciousness, you carried out the plan because of your greed and quest for money. You sold out your identity. " I said, " Please sir. I'm sorry for what I did. Help me put up some words to the doctor to pardon me just this once. It won'

AIDEN'S POVIt was already past the time and hour that my doctor was to be here. I was worried and hoping that nothing had gone wrong. Patricia on the other hand has become impatient and wouldn't let me be. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Mia coming cover to us. She was the strength I needed right now from Patricia's constant nagging. Mia sat down beside me and I could feel Patricia getting agitated with her presence. " Aiden, I don't know why your doctor isn't here yet. My doctor has lots of things to attend to today. We have been here for over an hour. I think we better proceed with mine instead. " Patricia said, " They might just be running late. Or had a car flat tire or something. I'm sure they will be here in no time. "" I hope this delay from them is not because they are compromising the result of the test? " She asked, She was fucking testing my patience. " Are you by any chance saying that this was all planned? " " I wouldn't know. You said it yourself. If this
