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 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
