MIA'S POVI woke up this morning with serious fatigue and a very persistent urge to vomit. I almost vomited out all of my intestines. I was weak and tired but I needed to be at the office early this morning. Mr Black will be meeting with some important clients today. I managed to get myself to work despite my weakness. I got to work a little earlier than usual. I prepared everything he will be needing with this meeting today. I must have fallen asleep on my desk because I didn't hear Mr Aiden when he came into my office. "You didn't get enough rest last night? " I jolted awake on hearing his voice. "Not at all sir. Do you ……." I didn't get to complete my sentence as I sneezed out uncontrollably. "Is everything alright with you ?" "Yeah, I am fine sir.""You don't seem good to me. You know what, you can just stay behind, I will attend this meeting with Audrey.""Are you sure you don't need me there sir?"Why was he acting caring all of a sudden? This was not the Mr Black I knew
MIA'S POVI opened my eyes and realized I was in a hospital. I groaned out in my pain. I held my head while trying to sit up. I noticed I wasn't alone in the room. I saw Mr Black sitting not too far from me. His legs were stretched out while resting his back on the chair he was sitting on with his eyes closed. I noticed I was in a private ward. I heard the door and the Doctor walked in. It was the same Doctor who had confirmed I was pregnant.I felt a sense of panic rising inside me. He was going to find out. "You are finally awake. How are you feeling?" He said. Mr Black eyes flew open. " I'm fine. Just feeling a little bit weak " "It is expected because of your condition.""What condition? Doctor , what is wrong with her?" I heard Mr Black ask. " She's pregnant. And according to the test carried out, she hasn't really been taking care of herself. She needs a lot of rest and vitamins. She's at the delicate stage of her pregnancy."I gulped. I didn't want him to find out about
MIA'S POV I almost fainted out of fear. Without thinking twice, he lifted me up and hurriedly carried me together with the blood to the hospital. I was placed on bed rest and serious observations for the whole day. " You are lucky that Mr Black here was able to get you here on time. I remembered telling you the last time you were here not to stress yourself to be extremely careful. Anyways,there's no cause of alarm""Thank you Doctor." I heard Mr Black breathe a sigh of relief. "No problem. I will recommend that she should be watched over very well. When is your appointment?" I remembered I also saw a list of the days I'll be having my appointments together with my prescriptions." On Thursday" I mumbled. " Okay.. Please make sure you show up early. I'll take your leave now."As soon as the Doctor, I saw Mr Black's eyes blaze in anger. "What were you thinking? Do you really want to get rid of this baby as you said? Is that the reason why you are doing this? I gave you a strict
MIA'S POVDid I just hear him right? He wanted to assist me in taking a shower? I blushed at the thought. " Why? I'm quite capable of taking a shower myself." "I told you I'm not taking chances with you anymore. You might slip and fall. Is there anything wrong with doing that?"" I don't think what you just suggested right now made any sense at all .Let's just stick to trying to see the wellbeing of our baby.""That's exactly what I'm doing, Miss Anderson. What else do you think I'm saying?"So it was only because of the baby? I frowned at my thought. Of course, it was only because of the baby. "Just forget about it Mr Black. I don't want to take a shower. I'm cold." I lied through my teeth. As time passed, the awkwardness between the both of us became unbearable.Eventually, he fell asleep before I did. I took the liberty to take a good look at him and I must admit, he is indeed very good looking..His facial structure is very well constructed and looks like that of a celebrity
MIA'S POVI was surprised by his words, that my question to him came out a little shaper than intended."Of course I can cook." He replied confidently"No! Seriously, can you really cook? ""Yes I can cook." I almost melted at his words. I've always admired men who know how to cook. "Why do you sound like it is a crime for someone like me to cook."" I never could have imagined that someone of your status would even know how to light a match not to talk of cooking a proper meal.""Are you being serious? Sorry to disappoint you then, I can light a match, cook and do so many other things too. As much as we were blessed, as children, my parents made it a point of duty to see that we were very responsible. We were never allowed to look down on anyone regardless of their social status.""That explains why Audrey is so charming.""And I'm not?" He asked. "Well……….""I wasn't always like what I was when you first met me, you know." There was guilt on his face. I became very much intereste
AIDEN'S POV" Is something wrong?" I asked Mia, judging by the look on her face, I could say something was definitely up. Besides, I heard her talking on the phone."How long have you been standing there?" she asked."Not too long."She breathed out in relief before answering my question. "Nothing really, it was just my Aunt telling me she wasn't feeling well.""Really ? What is wrong with her? ""She didn't give me details on that. How was your meeting?""It went well. Come on, let's take a walk outside. You have been in the door all these while.""I'm really not in the mood . Can I just go to my room and rest? I'm really tired.""Are you sure you are okay?""Yes. I'm fine. ""Okay then, let's go to your room together. I will stay with you just Incase you need something.""That won't be necessary sir. I just want to be alone."What could have caused her sudden change of character? I didn't press any further. I let her be. I read some pregnancy books about pregnant women having mood
AIDEN'S POVPATRICIA!??? I was glad that I was right behind Mia's back; if not so, I wondered what would have happened. "I'm so sorry….…." She trailed off when she saw me. "Aiden!??" She called out my name in surprise.I was actually shocked to see her as well. I was in a daze for a moment before getting hold of myself."Are you okay Mia? Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked her as I examined her. "I'm okay Aiden." Just hearing that brought a huge relief to me.Patricia was still there while all this was taking place."What are you doing here Aiden?" I heard her ask me. "What sort of question is that? What does it look like?"I saw Mia giving me a look that said;Be nice! If only she knew who the demon standing in front of her is, she wouldn't have given me that look. "Let's go home Mia." I said as I tried to drag Mia with me. "I can't believe you already got married and in secret Aiden.""What do you expect? So, you wanted me to keep mobbing? You are so pathetic."With that, I took
AIDEN'S POVMe??? In love with Mia?I was caught off guard by his words."Why do you say that, Mr Timothy?" I saw he was kind of scared to talk so I relaxed a little bit to make him feel more comfortable. " It's okay. You can talk. Why do you say that,?" I repeated again but this time in a calm voice. "Well, it is so obvious sir. Everyone in the house knows this sir." "What do you mean by everyone? What is so obvious?"He was about to say something when I saw him look behind. "Ma'am Audrey, you are home. I better go prepare the food. Excuse me sir."He disappeared."What were you two talking about?" Audrey asked as she carelessly removed her heels while sitting on the couch. "You're home earlier than expected.That was fast . I just called you not quite long.""I wasn't doing anything anyways when you called so I just figured I could show up earlier."Just then Mia showed up."Look who is home early today." I saw the warmth in her eyes as she hugged Audrey."I have missed you so
