The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT
UNKNOWN PERSON'S POVIn the dimly lit room at the heart of their operation, two villians sat across from each other, a triumphant smirk etched on their faces. One is a woman and the other is a man. They had successfully executed their dastardly plan, bringing down the once mighty business empire of Aiden. The taste of victory lingered in the air as they revealed in the aftermath of their malicious deeds. The woman carefully raised the champagne glass, the golden liquid shimmering under the ambient lighting. Sitting beside her was the cunning and ruthless mastermind with a penchant for manipulation. Together, they had meticulously crafted a web of deceit, exploiting Aiden's vulnerabilities and turning public opinion against him. The rumors they had spread were devastatingly effective. The whispers of Aiden's alleged actions - rape, impregnation, and poisoning - had spread like wildfire, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Overnight, Aiden had become a pariah, shunned by
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER NINETY NINE
MIA'S POVAs I held Aiden's hand in mine,my heart pounded in my chest as we stumbled upon the shocking headlines splashed across various news stations.The words seemed surreal, as if ripped from a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. The tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the words on the screen. It was too much to absorb at once. I dragged Aiden to the table and we ate our breakfast quietly. I could sense the wheels turning in his head. Once we were done having breakfast, we retired back to the room. I took out my phone and tried to search for reputable sources, desperate to find an ounce of evidence to disprove the claims but as the minutes turned into hours, and the allegations grew more elaborate, my world shattered around her. A whirlwind of emotions churned inside my chest - disbelief, anger, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. How could the media turn Aiden into a monster? We had always been so careful to protect our relationship and keep our personal life and the unfor

MIA'S POV"Fine, have it your way." I replied and left him alone. I don't understand why he's acting nonchalantly about this. He has lost almost all of his business partners. There is no day someone isn't pulling out his or her stock and it's breaking my heart.Jordan has been a very supportive friend and a brother to him. Even if Aiden has never defended himself since all of this started, Jordan took it upon himself to speak on his behalf. What is more baffling is the fact that these people seem to have every single information going on in his company. Since Audrey was at home, I decided to meet her in her room. I didn't bother knocking on the door. I just barged in like that. I saw laying on her stomach and pressing her phone. She was probably chatting with Jordan. I joined her on the bed and groaned out loudly. "What's wrong?" She asked me, " Your brother is so fucking stubborn. I can't keep watching him go down like this." I grumbled. " I need to do something about this and

AIDEN'S POVI don't know what those two are up to but I knew they were definitely up to something because they were acting sneaky. I know that they are both affected by all of this but there is absolutely nothing I could do to ease their worries.Mia wants to help but I don't want her to get more involved in this scandal than she already is. At least, she is seen as the victim here and not the villain which is okay by me. I can't stand to hear anyone say anything negative about her. Besides who knows, maybe the reason why they did this to me at this point in time is for them to use this opportunity to lure her out. And that is the reason why I have decided not to allow her to speak on this. I know she means well but of what benefit will it be for me to ransom my status in the country and world at large but end up losing her?I heard a knock on the door. I know it wasn't Mia because it's our room so she wouldn't knock before coming in. It must be Audrey then; I thought. "Audrey, th

AIDEN'S POV" How do you defend this? There is no evidence that someone indeed broke into his house. Is this some kind of make up story just to clear his name?" The interviewer asked Mia. I felt like going into the TV to knock some sense into her. It is hard enough that Mia has gone public just to clear out the air. Does she have to make it even more harder than it already is?"Can you believe this woman Jordan? Why would she even think that?""Relax buddy. I know it is annoying but she is just doing her job."" Doing her job? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Is this what you call doing her job? She is just looking for a way to make Mia stumble on her words."" I know how you feel buddy but let's see how Mia will handle this. I mean, she has been handling herself so well. She has been at the top of this interview right from the very beginning."I smiled as a sense of pride surged within me. Mia indeed is a very intelligent young woman. Her smartness is one of the reasons I love

AIDEN'S POV"If you still think I'm making all this up, I came here with my Aunt. You can ask her about it." Mia said to the interviewer. I can't believe the level she took this to. She even got her Aunt involved. I'm more stunned because her Aunt agreed to help. I was really touched by this gesture of kindness. I had always thought Mia's Aunt hated my gut but for her to do this, I was really touched. When all of this is over, because I know it will, I will make sure to reward her in a very big way. The voice of the interviewer made me focus back on the ongoing interview. "Why didn't you get the lady who claimed she was also raped by Mr Black arrested?" The interviewer asked Mia. " We were going to but somehow she found out and disappeared into thin air. And as for the other rumor about Mr Aiden poisoning me, like I said initially, they are all lies. Someone is trying to destroy his reputation and they waited for the perfect moment to carry out their plan. Aiden and his sister we

AIDEN'S POV" And to you, Aiden Black,if you're watching this right now,no matter the outcome of today's meeting, I just want you to know that I love you and will love you till the end of time." Mia said. With that, the interview came to an end. I could not believe what this heaven sent has done today. She even went as far as admitting her love for me on air and thanked the same people who spiked my drink for bringing me into her life. Who would have thought that this day would ever come? I have always had this guilt feeling at the back of my mind about what I did to her back then. And anytime I think about it, I have this fear that she will never truly forgive me of that horrible sin against her but there she was saying it on air. "Jordan, did you hear her? Did you hear what she just said?" I said, tapping Jordan excitedly like a teenager. "I did man, I did. Congratulations for landing yourself a rare gen this time around Aiden." Jordan laughed, " You deserved to be a happy man.
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE
MIA'S POVI opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, thinking about what I had done the past week. I never really thought I could pull it out. If I said I wasn't scared to death going on air in order to clear Aiden's name, then, I'm being a blatant liar. To be honest, I didn't think it would make any difference if I did or didn't go. However, I knew I had to do something. Even if it meant going against Aiden's stern order. The beautiful thing about this is that my efforts didn't go to waste. It has been over a week since my live broadcast and everything has returned back to normal for He has resumed back to work fully and regained all of his losses and more. Aiden has refused to accept those who were the first to withdraw their share from his company back as his business partners. His business now booms more than it ever did before he lost almost everything. He wouldn't stop thanking me for taking that bold step because it didn't only restore his business back, it cleared his re

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

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
