The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FORTY NINE
MIA'S POV"Seriously Mia, what did you do to my brother last night?" I heard Audrey ask me.Aiden groaned out in annoyance and I almost burst out laughing. I had to go along with the flow . Besides, there have been too many unfortunate occurrences in this house, which have made everybody so serious that we all had forgotten how to smile or laugh. Yes! We have a serious matter on our hands right now,but we can't continue to live in bitterness and be too serious like the whole world is on our shoulders.I looked at him with affection and smiled. "I just gave him a little something. You know what I mean Audrey." I said I saw Aiden snap his eyes to me and I winked at him. "Just to make him realize that he still has that mood in him. To be honest with you, I didn't have to do much to bring that side out from him. He has always been a happy and jovial individual, who has been hiding under that uptightness.""It has been so long since I saw my brother this happy. In fact, whatever It is t

AUDREY'S POVI looked at Mia weirdly like she had lost it. Who was she talking about? "The reason why you haven't seen him is because you are looking far away when the person is there with you." She said to me,I was baffled at this. To make the matter more complicated, she pointed at my side. "He is right beside you". She said again.I just stared at her like she was crazy. "What are you saying Mia? There is nobody here."" Time will tell Audrey, don't worry about that."What is going on with Mia? I thought to myself. Did the fall at the hospital touch her brain? But that isn't the case here. I mean, she and I have been conversing since morning and I did not notice anything weird with her words. Maybe, I'm just overthinking her statement. She might just be joking or probably trying to tell me to look more closely then, I will see that perfect man whom I'm waiting for. Or she is trying to tell me to be less selective in my choice of men. I mean, it is not like I don't have suitor
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
AIDEN'S POVI was still very much in a happy mood when I left Audrey and Mia to go do some work in my office in the house. I wished everyday would continue to be like today. It was indeed a very heartwarming breakfast with a peaceful and conversational atmosphere. For some reason, Mia was able to lift everybody's spirits up this morning. Despite what she has gone through, she somehow managed to bring back the joy we once had in this house and I'm hoping that even though it won't be that easy because of the investigation, this joy will still remain. There is nothing I want more than to see the two people I love most in this worldbeing happy. As much as I know that no man will be good enough to take care of Audrey, I know for a fact that I will someday let her be with the man she loves. Her happiness comes first. Just then, my phone rang and when I looked at the caller, it was HER. What the hell does she want? Why is she suddenly calling me again? I put her number on voicemail but w

AIDEN'S POV "What do you think sir?" " I don't know what to think." I muttered. " With my years of experience in this job, I don't think that the security men on duty that night were working with the intruder and there was no way all of them could have fallen asleep at the same time." He said thoughtfully. Thinking deeply on what he just said, I think there is some atom of unbelievable truth in it. It is just too impossible for all of them to be traitors and more impossible for all to have fallen asleep at the same time. This matter is becoming more complicated to understand where this problem was generated from."Mr Q, there is something confusing me right now." "What is it sir?""I hope it won't be too far-fetched if I ask this question?" I said, he nodded for me to go on. " Could it be possible that one of the security guards could have been working with the intruder and he drugged the rest of his colleagues?""That is a possibility sir. However, we don't really have any evid
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTY THREE
MIA'S POVI was lost in my own world of fear and panic. Fear of the unknown became the order of the day in my life at that very moment. What does the future hold for me in this house? It has been a few days since the discovery from CCTV that someone actually broke into this house for the purpose of harming me and my unborn child and they actually succeeded in accomplishing their hideous plan. I know they will not stop at this,until they have succeeded in killing me too. What I don't understand is who could have done this? Who did I offend in this life? It has been just a few months since I came to this city. And ever since that time, I haven't had a single leisure time on my hands to make friends let alone hang out with them. It has been work, work and work. The only time I get to go out is if it was work related. "Mia, you are trembling again. What is the matter?" The concerned voice of Aiden brought me out of my diverse thoughts."I just can't help it. It is too worrisome to
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR
MIA'S POV"I'm quite familiar with the story he just told us all now." I revealed." Familiar how? " Audrey asked " I kept quiet all these while because I wanted to see if he would try to keep it to himself but to my greatest surprise, he didn't." I said. " You are not making any sense at all, Miss Anderson." Mr Q said."That is because you people keep interrupting me." I exclaimed in frustration. I watched them all closely to see if anyone wanted to say anything. When I saw there wasn't, I continued with what I was saying. "Anyways,he wasn't lying about the sleep and the bowl of water. I woke up very early that morning and I was unable to sleep back. I went out from my room to the sitting room to try to find some fruit to snack on. Suddenly I realized that the compound was awfully quiet which was so odd. The security men all have this habit of discussing with one another. Maybe, it was their own way of staying awake or to inform any intending intruder that there are people awake i
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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
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 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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX
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
