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
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.
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
MIA'S POVI got a call from Jordan this morning which was strange. He has never called my number before. asking about where Audrey who just came back from her trip last night was"Hello! Who is this please?" I asked after picking up the unknown call." Mia, this is Jordan. Please, I have been trying to reach Audrey but her line isn't reachable. Do you have any idea where she might be?""Oh! Ummm.. She went to get something from her apartment not too long ago.""Alright thank you for your help."With that, he ended the call. Poor guy!! For some reason, Audrey has been dodging his calls and I've been wondering why.The morning she was planning on going to see him, she got a call, so she had to take the next available flight to Australia. I hope the call I got from Jordan was because he wants to set things straight between them. I know he has feelings for her just as she does for him. It was about time they do something about that; which was the main reason I told him where she was. On
MIA'S POV " Why?" She groaned, stomping her feet on the floor. I almost laughed at her childish attitude. " Something about the investigation came up and that is also the reason Aiden is coming home early today. ""Really, what happened exactly?""John, the estate guard called Mr Q to inform him that the guards that were on duty that morning and night will be resuming back to work a few hours from now."" I hope they can get a real lead this time."*Me too. I'm tired of this already. I just want it to end so everyone can move on with their normal life activities without fear and excessive protections. It is tiring. I want to return back to work." I grumbled. "I totally understand Mia. I feel the same way you do. So, are we going to go with them to see the guards?"" I don't want to." I said, stomping my feet on the floor like she did earlier. " The men can go meet them, while we stay here to celebrate your happiness with some ice cream. " I suggested, jumping on the bed excitedly.
AIDEN'S POVSomething seemed fishy but I can't seem to point it out. Audrey just asked me out of the blue if she could go out with Mia tomorrow. Just the two of them. Maybe Mia was actually right. I'm over thinking things lately. It was just an innocent outing. Besides, Mia has been indoor for so long and I don't want her thinking that I'm trying to rule her life even though all I do lately is for her own good. I'm hoping talking with these guards today can give us a positive lead to this investigation.I quickly rushed my food in order for us to move forward with what we have at hand today. I went upstairs to quickly change my clothes into something more comfortable. "Shall we all go now?" I asked once I got downstairs. "After you sir.""By the way, thanks for coming around Jordan.""Don't mention it man. I hope this can provide more clues for Mr Q.""The same thing I'm hoping for. " I sighed. We all went to meet John who in turn called the guards that were on duty that day. Both
