The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FORTY ONE
MIA'S POV"STOP RIGHT THERE." The bodyguard said to the servant who immediately put her head down. "I'm so sorry ma'am! I got carried away. I was just so excited that you are finally home.""It's fine," Aiden said. I smiled and thanked them all but my smile wasn't coming from my heart. I have become so weary of every one of them. I don't know who my friend and foe are anymore.I took in the sight of the house once more before allowing Aiden to lead me inside. Once inside, there was some decorated cardboard with written words of; Welcome back home ma'am, it is so good to have you back with us. They were all rejoicing that I was back home and so oblivious of the situation on ground or, they just choose to be blind about it. The only person who seemed a little different from them all was Mr Timothy. I wondered why he was looking so unlike himself."Welcome back home ma'am and sir." He slightly bowed in respect."Thank you Mr Timothy." Just then, my eyes landed on the door to my ba

MIA'S POV"I think I remembered something that took place that day, Aiden."We both sat up at the same time. "Really? Tell me, what did you remember?" I saw an eager look of anticipation on his face.I had really hoped I might have some information that will help us in any way with the case. "After my food was served, Mr Timothy tasted the food from my plate as usual. Then after some minutes, he left me to go shower since I was already eating. Then I decided to go use the bathroom. I actually took my food to my room. While I was in the bathroom, I heard a noise. It felt like someone was either opening the door or closing it but when I came out, I didn't see anyone there.""I thought it was a figment of my imagination. It was after I finished eating that I started feeling serious pain in my stomach. I threw up blood and suddenly, it became almost impossible for me to breathe. I started calling out for help. I don't know how Mr Timothy managed to hear me, because I was fighting to bre

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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FORTY SIX
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

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

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
