The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE
MIA'S POV"You said it yourself, Patricia and for me, I honestly don't trust you one bit. So, it is either we do it my way or nothing. I don't know why we are still having this conversation over again. I have told you before not to call me unless you have made up your mind." Aiden said to Patricia on the phone.I didn't hear her response from the other end but I know she must be mad at Aiden's way of talking to her. "I don't have anything else to say to you anymore." Aiden said and ended the call. " Does she want to bring a specialist from her end to run the test?" I asked Aiden as soon as he ended the call. "Yes! I'm beginning to think she is up to something." " Not just you. I have been feeling that way for a while now. I don't think it will end anytime soon if you continue like this." I said, "I know, but there is nothing I can do about it. She has to come to an agreement with me for the test to be carried out. Without her full cooperation, nothing can be done about this." "

MIA'S POVWe drove to the Chinese restaurant and just opposite us sat Patricia, Jackson and one other guy. "Great, this is the last thing I need right now," Aiden said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "What is wrong?" I asked, "Over there," He nodded his head towards them. " Is that other guy Jackson?" I asked. I have never met him before, but I have seen him on TV. Aiden nodded his head in response and I scrunch up my nose, "Are you okay? Or should we request for them to package the food for us to take out?"" For what? Because of them? No way," He scoffed, " You are here to relax and eat before we head to our appointment and that is exactly what you are going to do."" I can eat in the car babe, I don't want you getting all upset or worse into an argument with any of them." I tried to reason with him. "I promise I won't. If they don't come over here to us, I won't go to them. Let alone speak to any of them." I was observing Aiden and praying for a miracle that none of them s

MIA'S POV" Hmmm," Aiden hummed,then his eyes lit up, " I have an idea." "What is it? " I asked, He told the driver to drive around first to see if we were still being followed. The driver did, driving from one end to the other, entering from street to street until he confirmed that the coast was clear. Aiden told the driver to leave where we were to another street and pack. He then gave my driver a call and told him to bring the newest Lamborghini he just bought with one other car and he also instructed him to tell the other bodyguard to come with him. That way, we will switch our car and still be able to go for our appointment without Patricia's knowledge. A few minutes later, they arrived and we switched cars, while the other one was taken back home. I was indeed exhausted but needed to get this meeting out of the way. Besides, I didn't want anything that would delay our wedding. We need to make it happen before my baby bump starts showing. We got to the boutique and we were

AIDEN'S POVI was glad Mia and I were able to keep the appointment we had with her designer. More glad was the fact that I was able to get her to agree to my terms of not allowing her wedding design to be sold in any boutique or in the world. I knew it was going to take a lot of money to do that but the money wasn't a bit of my problem. It is impossible for the dress that was worn by the wife of Aiden Black to be seen in all the boutiques in this world. It is an insult to me and a huge slap in the face. It was hard to convince Mia to let me do that, as she saw it as a waste of money but I somehow managed to get her to agree. I will be meeting with Jordan today. The two of us are to go check out my outfit for the wedding. I got a call from my designer that he was ready with mine. Like Mia's wedding, mine too was a fresh design that was personally designed for me. And like hers, I also made arrangements to remove it from any boutique in the world. "Hey buddy," Jordan said as he got
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE
AIDEN'S POVJust as we were leaving the boutique, Jackson suddenly blocked our way out of the boutique. "Well! Well!! Well!!! If it isn't the two best friends of the year," Jackson said, clapping his hands mockingly. " You know, we haven't seen each other for the longest time I can remember. ""Jackson, move out of our way." Jordan said in between clenched teeth.When it comes to Jackson, Jordan just doesn't know how to keep his cool. He could care less about where we were. He hates the guy's butt ever since his betrayal. Among the three of us back in the day, Jordan was always the quietest of the three of us. This gave him the insight of being able to see through people's character. However, he deactivated his quiet nature the very first day he noticed that Jackson was a very dubious and uncontended bastard. What Jackson and Patricia did to me could have been avoided if only I had listened to Jordan back then but I chose to turn a blind eye to all of his warnings because I trus

MIA'S POV"Sunshine, I got an SMS from Patricia a few minutes ago, informing me that she has agreed to do the DNA test in my term." Aiden who laid beside me said. " Oh! really? Finally, that is a relief don't you think?"He shook his head in response, "No! It is not."" Why not?" I asked. " Something is not right. I know Patricia, I don't know why but I'm so convinced that I'm not the father of her child. I still have this weird feeling that something is not right at all."I raised one eyebrow at his response and shrugged, " You know her better than I do. So, if you are not convinced about all of these and you think she is up to something, then don't let down your guard. Take the appropriate precautions and carry out your secret test on the child."" Yes! About that, I have already arranged with the doctors that will do that."I kept wondering why Aiden strongly believes that Patricia is trying to force another man's child on him as his. I also wondered why he thinks that Patricia

AIDEN'S POVSince Patricia told me that I have a son with her, this was the first time I've met with the little boy in person. He is a little cute champ but there was no single resemblance of myself to the boy. He is adorable no doubt. He has the color of my hair but that was it. Aside from that, I don't feel any connection that could have indicated that this child was mine which should have been the case. After all, there is a saying, blood is thicker than water. So, if this child is mine, why do I feel like I'm looking at a stranger instead of my child? Even if I haven't met him before, at least, for the first time we are meeting, I'm supposed to be drawn to him. There is a connection I searched for while staring at him but I found none. Which further convinced me that Patricia was lying about this like always. I watched as the lab technician whom Patricia claimed was a specialist took the hair sample of the boy. I made sure my doctor came with a hairbrush that would at least get

AIDEN'S POV" Are you kidding me?" I shouted out in shock and a little bit of anger. "You can't blame her, I mean, she must be scared as hell that the same thing that happened to her before could repeat itself." Audrey said, " Why would she even think I would let anything bad happen to her again? Haven't I made it clear to her in words and in my effort to protect her that I will not let anything bad happen to them again?"" This is not just about your effort. Of course she knows that but you can't blame her. This is her fear and her feelings which if you look closely, you might see some truth in them." " Why do you two think Patricia could be involved in all of this? I mean, if she truly was involved, why would she order somebody to spike my drink and then try to set me up with a guy to make me look like a fag? I know that she still has feelings for me so why go through all that trouble when every one of her actions lately indicates that she wants me back in her life?" Audrey shru

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
