AIDEN'S POVI was so happy to see the radiance returning back in Mia's face. I took it upon myself to cook food that she eats . There was a lot of questioning gaze on me, but no one dared say anything to me. It's been two days now since we returned back from the hospital and I see her fighting to get well fast. She never missed her medication for a single day. I woke up a little bit late today. I had worked all through the night. I used my hand to feel her like I always do since she started sleeping in my room but she wasn't there. I sat up immediately thinking something bad must have happened to her but no one can break into my room because of the high security door that was used for my room. I waited a bit, thinking she might probably be in the bathroom. After some time, I went to the bathroom door and called out her name but there was no response. I opened the door but she wasn't there. I looked through the curtain to the balcony, she wasn't there either. Panic stricken, I op
MIA'S POV" Have you been crying lately, Miss Anderson? "Well, I…I… " I stammered.I looked at Aiden but he only nodded for me to go on. "Well……."I trailed off with my words, not knowing exactly how to answer this question."That explains the headaches." The doctor concluded. "We have been over this before. This isn't good for you. You need to think about your health. Stop straining and putting your brain through so much work now."I just nodded my head on response because I had nothing to say to him."Let see the wound. I'm going to be changing the bandage today."The doctor examined me and changed the bandage on my wound. All these while, Aiden never took his eye off me. He watched me closely like a mother hen."Okay, my work here is done Miss. You are doing well but try not to strain yourself so much. The wound is still fresh but healing gradually. You will return back to your normal life activity in no time." He said before turning to Aiden " If you ever feel anything out of the
MIA'S POV."So, you went in and didn't lock your door? Why did you do that?""I don't understand your question." I was beginning to get angry with his questions. "What I'm saying is, you were cautious enough to take your food along with you to your room, and you weren't that careful to lock it up?""What the hell are you insinuating right now?" I lashed out at him."That's enough Mr Q. What are you trying to imply?" Aiden asked calmly. I, on the other hand, was anything but calm. "Nothing sir. I'm just trying to understand something here.""Well, whatever it is that you are trying to understand, keep it to yourself because, I won't have you accuse me of taking the life of my unborn child and risking my own life at the same time."I glared furiously at him. "I never said that Miss, and I'm sorry if you felt that way. This is just a procedure. ""Whatever...Just so you know, I have never locked that door whenever I go in. Nor was I aware that some will enter inside to try to harm me
MIA'S POVThere was silence immediately Mr Q asked that question. We all turned to look at one another in question. "That is absurd sir,why would I do such nonsense at the cost of ma'am Mia's and the baby's life? " Mr Timothy exclaimed in disbelief. "You tell me, that is the reason why I'm asking you. Could it be that you wanted your master to be suspicious of the chef and get her out of the way?" Mr Q continued. "With all due respect sir, you have no right to accuse me of such things." Mr Timothy said. I could see the anger written all over his face and it was also indicated in his voice. I swear, the investigator had a way of getting on people's nerves. However, after seeing the method in which he used in questioning Audrey, the female chef and now, Mr Timothy, I came to the realization that it was nothing personal and that he wasn't trying to make any accusations of any kind." I'm not accusing you Mr Timothy. I'm just asking you questions and those are two different things. W
AIDEN'S POVI understood Mia's fear perfectly well. I'm becoming a little worried about this investigation too. I know it just started, so he will need a little time to dig deeper than what he is doing right now. I did not want the ladies to worry so much about this investigation and that was the reason why I had to reassure them that everything will be perfectly fine.Mr Q finally came out from the control room and all the eager faces were directed at him with a mixed feeling of anticipation and disappointment."Well, did you find anything useful that could help you with this case?" Aiden asked. "Nothing yet sir. I'm very positive that I will get something from that control room. However, I will have to return back tomorrow to do that sir. I have to be on my way now." "Alright Mr Q. I will be expecting you tomorrow.""Thank you everyone for your cooperation today." Mr Q said and bidded us his goodbye. I called all my staff and still spoke to them again. Urging them to make this
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
