The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN
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 POVWe went to the police station where we were able to trace her call as I called her number and we headed straight to the location where they found her phone.Right at that spot, laid the lifeless body of my employee — yet again. Why do they always end up dead? I heard Mia gasp beside me as she covered her mouth with her palm, " Oh My God." "This is a pure murder case," The inspector that followed us said. "Yeah I think so too..And it has nothing to do with robbery."" I'm sorry to say this Mr Black, I think this death has something to do with your other employee as well. And this time, it is more like the person is trying to pass a message across to you. The person wanted you to find this body and that was the reason why the phone was left with the dead body."" I think so too." I said. I was more concerned for Mia. If I had known, I would have insisted that she stayed back in the car. I held her tightly to my body. She must have been shaken by the sight she just saw

MIA'S POV"What is she doing here?" She said as soon as she saw Aiden and I standing in her living room. The nerves of this woman. I got the satisfaction I wanted immediately. I saw that devilish and irritating smile on her face being wiped off the very minute she saw me. I could tell that my presence ruined whatever plans she had at the back of her mind. And that alone, gave me a whole lot of satisfaction. Aiden is indeed an intelligent man."Hey, that is no way to welcome your guest." Aiden said with some kind of humor beneath his words. " What guest? I never invited her here. I mean, this was supposed to be a moment of bonding between our fam......"" Cut if Patricia, you and I are not family, and we will never be. Yes! I may have fathered your son, according to what you said— a son that I'm yet to see. So, please, do not use that word when you are referring to me. Mia here is the only family I have in this living room."" B…bu..but you have a son," She stammered, " How can you

MIA'S POV"Yes! I was. After everything we have been true, I have learnt my lessons and when it comes to Patricia, I don't want to let down my guard again." Just then, his phone rang and it was none other than Patricia. He ignored her call and kept on driving. "So, how did you come about the video cam? ?"" I got it from Mr Q the last night I met up with him. I'm sorry I didn't inform you before now. I totally forgot, especially with the whole issue on ground." He said apologetically. " You don't have to be sorry, my love. And you don't have to tell me every single thing you do. I trust you. And I know you will never hurt me intentionally. You have proven that to me time and time again." His phone rang again and it was still the same person — Patricia. She never gives up…He wanted to ignore the call but I told him not to do that. He picked up the call and put it on speaker. "Patricia, what do you want?" He snapped. " I'm sorry about the way I reacted dar…. Aiden. I was just pi

MIA'S POV" When was the last time you saw your period?" Her question jolted me up. " My period?" I asked in confusion.."Yes!! Your period Mia." She replied. "What does my period have to do with what's wrong with me?" I asked her again. I was confused by her sudden questions. " You might be pregnant, Mia. Those are also pregnancy symptoms and you are a grown up lady...If you know what I mean…" I cleared my throat awkwardly as I thought about what she meant. I never really thought to that extent. I know I saw my period last month, although it's kind of late this month— I thought to myself."Hello Mia, are you still there?" I heard my Aunt's voice. " Umm…Yes I'm here.…Now that you mentioned it, I just realized that it has gone past the date that it was supposed to come but I saw it last month though."" I think you should go take a pregnancy test. There is a possibility that you might actually be pregnant."I might be pregnant — again?. I panicked within me as I thought of the po

AIDEN'S POV" But what happens if truly, you are the child's father? What fate awaits my child and I?"I was touched by her words. I understood her fear and worries however, I have really assured her that I'm not leaving her for Patricia. Not in this life nor in another to come. I don't know how else to make her see that I will never abandon her and our unborn child. "Come on love," I made her stand up from where she was sitting and led her to the room. I sat down on the couch and made her sit on my thighs, "I understand your fear but I promise you, and I'm giving you my word once again Mia Anderson, nothing will ever change. Even if it happens that I'm the child's father, I promise you that you and our baby will always be my priority. Please cheer up for me alright. You are not supposed to be worried or worked up about any of these things especially now that you are pregnant. Let me do all the worrying. I want you and our child to be safe and in good health my love. Now give that sw

MIA'S POVI was thrilled at the sudden suggestion of taking a day trip to celebrate the good news which we just discovered. I admit, I was initially scared and truthfully speaking, I'm still scared about becoming a mother right now when things are still a little bit unsettled but Aiden has a way of always taking all of my worries away every now and then.Although he is overly excited about this news of becoming a father, I know he is also nervous but he will never show it to me. We just got to our location and I was sleeping excited to have this moment with him. Just when we settled in, his phone rang out. At first, he didn't want to pick the call, so he left it to ring until the call ended by itself. But the caller was persistent and won't stop calling. " Why don't you wanna pick?" I asked " Because I don't want to. I don't want anyone interrupting this moment for us..x" Who was it ? " I asked even though I already had an idea of who it was. " It's Patricia," he gritted out, " I

MIA'S POVI was shocked and speechless. I just stared at the sky as all eyes were directed to us when the whole place was suddenly illuminated with light. I turned to look at Aiden. He was bent on one knee with a pair of diamond rings on his hand. Definitely the set of jewelry I was wearing tonight. I watched with tears of joy in my eyes. As he took my hand in his and began, " Mia, I know that I have often referred to you as my fiance but now, I want to make it official, my love. I have always wanted to make this official since the very first day I saw you laying in that hospital bed. I knew within me that I can never be complete if I lose you. I have wanted to propose on different occasions too but each time I planned it, something will happen and will make me put it on hold, waiting for the right time and moment for everything to return back to normal. However my love, I can't wait any longer. If we are going to fight whatever life may throw at us, let's fight it together as husb

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
