MIA'S POVIt's been a week since Aiden made the discovery about the mastermind behind all the bad things that has happened and he still can't wrap his mind around it.We have heard nothing about her. It's like she has gone into hiding especially, knowing that her photograph is all over the media as well as the airports, roads and seaports. Sooner or later, she would have to come out. It is as though destiny doesn't want us to get to the bottom of all of these. Because, each time it seems like we are about to break free, that freedom will be snatched from our hand one way or the other. Regardless of all this, we decided not to live in fear anymore. At least, since the restoration of Aiden's business and reputation, we have been leading a peaceful and fear free life. Things were almost returning back to normal in the house. Aiden is constantly at work trying to put everything in order. It has been from one meeting to the order and one traveling to the other. However, each time he goe
MIA'S POV"Hello Aiden, I was looking forward to meeting you here. May I join you?"I raised an eyebrow at her words. Looking forward to meeting him? " What do you mean by that? Are you stalking me? " Aiden asked in an angry tone.She laughed, " Not at all. It was a mistake. May I join you?" She asked again How rude and uncultured. I was immediately irritated but I tried as much as possible not to let her presence bother me. I mean, she definitely saw Aiden with a woman sitting right opposite to him. She didn't even acknowledge my presence let alone say Hi. She sat down right next to him without his permission. I became very much interested in the movie that was playing right in my presence. People by now already know Aiden is in a relationship with me. It was aired live on air. Doesn't she watch TV or listen to the news? Even if she doesn't do any of these, her common sense should have at least told her that for a man and a woman to be on a lunch date in this particular place
AIDEN'S POV I got a call from the police officer who is actually in charge of Rose's case, asking me to come to a particular location where he was with the other police officers.It has been a week and we haven't heard anything from her or from the police. I knew that Mia had work today and would probably be on set right now. So, I didn't bother calling her but I left her a message. I must confess, my business has been doing better than I had imagined since I came back to the business world once again. Mia is equally doing well for herself. She is living her dream right now and I'm glad I allowed her to do what she wanted instead of holding her back. And she faces us in almost all the fashion magazines in California. As for Audrey, she has also gone back to her contract life in statistics. And I have never seen her as happy as she is with Jordan since our parents died. It is more like Jordan is a medicine to her soul just like Mia is to me.I got to the location and it was an ab
AIDEN'S POV"Let me guess, you want to tell me she is dead? And that she isn't the one behind the whole thing? I already know my love and I don't blame you for it. I know you are trying your best.""But…but, how did you know about it?" "My love," she placed both her hands on mine on the table before proceeding with her words." We have been together for months now. Isn't it enough time for me to get to know you? As soon as I heard the sound of your voice on the phone, I knew exactly what you were going to say. And don't forget you already informed me that you were going to meet with the police officer who is in charge of the case. So please relax. We will get to the bottom of this together. Besides, I already knew she wasn't working alone. She was just a puppet."I just stared at her in bewilderment. She sure knows me as she said. I took in a breath of relief after hearing her words. "Why are you so perfect Mia?" "Perfect? I'm not perfect Aiden and you know it. I just happened to u
MIA'S POV" Patricia, we have nothing to discuss anymore to start with, let alone, to discuss in private. Just leave me the hell alone." Aiden snapped at her. " Fine, if that is how you want it Aiden. I wanted to save you the head before but you leave me with no other choice. You have a son Aiden." Patricia said. " WHAT!??" Aiden asked in shock. " Yes! We have a child together." The shock in Aiden's face said it all. For a moment, he was unable to say a word to this claim as he made a quick mental calculation. " You have got to be kidding me, Patricia. Just what nonsense are you blabbering about? Is this some kind of trick that you just came up with or something?"I watched the two of them in silence as they discussed the possibility of Aiden having a child with Patricia. "Does it look like I'm joking with you about this Aiden? This is a child that we are talking about here. Why would I joke around with something as serious as this?"" Ummm!! Aiden, I think I better wait in the
UNKNOWN PERSON'S POV"You can't be serious with your demand yet again." I snapped at my colleague. " I mean, you can't constantly be demanding for money from me like I have it stacked somewhere just waiting for you to demand it."" Hey, you don't speak to me that way. And need I remind you that I'm not begging you for your money neither am I demanding it from you. I need money for something urgent."" Look, this is wrong. I haven't demanded money the way you do since the day I started working with the boss. I'm afraid and I don't want to get into trouble."" Exactly, I don't want to get you into trouble and that is the reason why I'm telling you to get me the money I demanded for. I don't want to hurt you because I have come to like you a lot but at the same time, I'm an impatient person. Tell the boss that I need some money if you don't want me to tell Sir Aiden on you two. As it is, I'm not afraid of going to prison. Because, I have got nothing to lose. But how about you? I don't kn
UNKNOWN PERSON'S POVMy colleague had a sinister smile and said, "You've got to be kidding…....."Before those words were completely out of her mouth, I heard a loud bang noise. It was the sound of a gun.At first, I thought I had died. When I realized what happened was when I saw the gun in the hand of the boss and the lifeless body of my colleague with a surprised look on her face on the ground. My knees began to shake profusely out of fear and panic. I whimpered and covered my mouth with my palm to muffle my sounds.What just happened? Oh my God! Oh my goodness!! She is dead!! My teeths started shattering with a sudden cold. I shut my eyes real tight, afraid of opening them not knowing what to expect. Not knowing if I'm going to die today just like my colleague. At least, if I was going to die here, I don't want to have such a look on my face. I shut them even tighter when the boss ordered me to open them. Afraid that if I did, it would be my turn to die next."Hey! Open your e
AIDEN'S POV My head felt like it was about to explode. Why is it always from one to the other? I am cursed to always face problems. When it feels like I'm about to breathe from a problem, then comes another. I'm still trying to digest the fact that Patricia told me I have a son whom I have not seen yet but through a picture from her phone. At the same time, Mia has been acting weird ever since she found out that I have a child with Patricia. As if that wasn't enough. Now this? What is going on and who is really after me? Why is it so difficult to know who is behind all of this?I came back last night only to be informed that one of my staff members who went out hadn't returned , which was weird. This is the first time such a thing has occurred. I asked the security men if she was carrying anything with her when she left and they said she was only holding her cell phone.I woke up this morning and asked if she returned late last night and I was told she still hasn't returned yet.
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
