AIDEN'S POV"Uhm.....Aiden, what if this whole thing was plotted by her?"HER?? I was taken aback by her sudden question that it took me seconds to comprehend what she was saying."Why? What makes you think so?" "I don't know, it was just a thought." " I know you have never liked her even before she showed her true colors but I don't think she is capable of taking someone's life."She facepalmed herself in exasperation. "Wake up Aiden, any lady or person that has the mind to do that kind of thing to the person he or she claimed to have loved passionately, is more than capable enough of killing someone." " Why in the world would she do that to Mia? Besides, she doesn't even know Mia let alone know that she stays here with me. I don't think she is behind this." I shook my head. "Okay, if you say so." "However, there's one person I'm suspecting right now, although I'm not sure if he is the one behind this." I said. "Who? "Mr Daniel." "Mr Daniel? Who is that?" Audrey asked in co
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
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
