The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
MIA'S POV"Did you say he asked Aiden to offer me to him?" I asked Audrey, bewildered. " Yeah.. I think that was what ended the partnership with him " That man was so disgusting. How can an old man want a young girl old enough to be his daughter to become his mistress? He had no shame at all.Just as we were discussing, we heard Aiden and Mr Q come in. As soon as they entered inside, we turned towards them with a questioning gaze. "So, what happened? How did it go? " Audrey asked. "So far, we haven't been able to get anything from them. The guards who worked on that day and night are not available. The one that worked in the morning won't be on duty till Monday. As for the one that worked at night that day, we missed him. But Mr Q was able to get one of the guards on duty to give him a call once the guard showed up." Aiden said. "You guys were not able to access the CCTV too? " I asked."Mr Q said he wants to ask the guards some questions first before that." Aiden answered. He lo

AIDEN'S POVI don't know if I should be mad at Mia or be proud of her for what she did. I can't believe she didn't tell me about her discovery about my security men. All because she wanted to keep her promise to them. I know all of these things are also affecting her. Sometimes, I don't know if I'm to be blamed for what she is going through. I needed to keep cool and not add to her misery. But if she had spoken out before now, who knows if we could have prevented anything from happening. But could we have really prevented it?; I thought. If I think about it very well, I don't think I'm mad at her. I'm just pained about the loss of the baby and everything all together. She has been trying to talk to me but I've been avoiding her because I don't want to say anything to hurt her feelings. This morning wasn't any different. After preparing breakfast and eating myself, I waited for her to come downstairs for hers before retreating to my study. I could hear her and Audrey's voice down

AIDEN'S POV" MODELING? " I asked in exasperation."Yes, Modeling! What's wrong with that?" Gosh! Can she hear herself right now? I can't believe after what actually happened to her all because of a modeling job,she will even think about this career ever again in her life. Women!! Why can't they learn at their first misfortune? What is in this modeling job for goodness sake. Just a bunch of half naked women on a runway showing all of the most important parts of their body to the whole world. No way! Not Mia!! I'm not going to allow her to even consider that for the second time again. I imagined her walking on a runway with all the men's eyes glued on her body and lusting after her body. No way I was going to let that happen. " NO WAY." I said, my voice firm and sharp. "Why not? There's nothing wrong with it. " She asked. Just then, my phone rang and I was glad it did because it actually brought this conversation to a stop for now. I know she will definitely bring this up again

AUDREY'S POV"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE FINE? YOU ARE NOT FINE." I shouted at Jordan with tears rolling down my eyes.They all turned to me with shock written all over their faces. I was having an emotional breakdown right there, in front of everyone including my brother. I don't know why, but I found it very difficult to control my outburst and tears which I have been holding from the moment Aiden broke the news to me.I was surprised at myself. For reacting the way I did. But the deed has not been done. I can't change it. I quickly recomposed myself and wiped my tears. "I'm sorry y'all. I don't know what came over me. If you will excuse me. I need some fresh air." I left them and went outside.Before I shut the door,I heard Mia's voice "Excuse me, I will just check up on her." She said before following behind me. "Oh my God! I just embarrassed myself in the presence of Jordan and Aiden. Damn it Audrey! You just made a fool out of yourself." I cursed out openly, using my
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
AUDREY'S POVMia was right. I guess I really feel something for him. Suddenly, I got courage from what Mia said to me. Now that I know that I have feelings for Jordan, although, I can't say if it is a complete love or just a chemistry. I will try to talk with Aiden whom I know without doubt wouldn't take this news lightly with me. I released Mia from the hug and held both of her hands. "Please promise me that no matter what, you will fight for what you feel for Jordan. That is, if he feels the same way." She said sticking out her pinky finger. She was such a baby. I grinned cheekily and crossed it with mine. " I promise. Thank you so much Mia." "For what?""For everything. For being here and for making me see what I refused to see.""I will always be here for you like you have always been there for me Audrey."I pecked her on both cheeks and we got into the car. Since we didn't bring the driver along, I drove the both of us home myself. Once we got home, we both went to our sepa

JORDAN'S POVI was surprised and at the same time shocked to see Audrey tearing up after seeing me in this clutches and neck brace. For days, I was in the hospital due to the ghastly accident I was involved in. I had intentionally kept it away from Aiden and Audrey because of the problem they were going through. Mia just recently got discharged from the hospital plus the investigation that just started. I didn't want to add to his troubles, so I instructed my staff at home and my workers when they came to see me at the hospital to keep it away from him.Seeing Audrey burst out emotionally made me wonder what went wrong. Truth to be told, I have always liked her more than a sister and wanted to be with her right from the very first day that I set my eyes on her.I have never had the courage to speak to her openly about my feelings because I was afraid of being rejected. Besides, the last thing I needed was to lose her friendship totally because of my proclamation of love.There was A

AUDREY BLACK'S POVWhat do I do now? I didn't know if I should honor Jordan's invitation or not. Gosh! I hate not being able to control my emotions. I hate being too vulnerable before anyone. Why now? I have never been the type to be dependent on people especially, when it had a whole lot to do with my heart. I had told him my coming over to his place may not be so soon because I was busy but from the little I have known about Jordan, he wouldn't give up that easily. He may not bring it up again today, tomorrow or next, but he will definitely do. And just for how long do I intend to keep avoiding from now on? What do I tell him if he eventually asks? I need to talk to Mia about this once I am done. She is the only one that will understand me. And perhaps, she might have an answer to give to me.I stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom to have my bath. I washed my hair with my vanilla shampoo and also my vanilla conditioner. I love the way my hair smelled when I was done.
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER SIXTY TWO
JORDAN'S POV It has been over a week now and I haven't set my eyes on Audrey. She was unable to make it to my place the following day because she suddenly received a call that took her out of the country giving her no chance to even keep to her promise. I got a call from her that morning telling that she was heading down to the airport because her attention was needed urgently for a business deal. These few days have felt like hell to me for not seeing her. Sometimes when I call, I will only get her voicemail asking me to leave a message. I have left messages countless times hoping she will call me back but she never did. Instead, she will send a message saying she was busy. The waiting was killing. During this time while she wasn't around, I had removed the neck brace I was wearing. My leg is almost healed as well. I had gotten information last night from Aiden that she was coming home this morning. So I woke up earlier this morning to have my bath so I could go see her.I deci

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
