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
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
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
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
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
