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
