The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
MIA'S POVDid I just hear him right? He wanted to assist me in taking a shower? I blushed at the thought. " Why? I'm quite capable of taking a shower myself." "I told you I'm not taking chances with you anymore. You might slip and fall. Is there anything wrong with doing that?"" I don't think what you just suggested right now made any sense at all .Let's just stick to trying to see the wellbeing of our baby.""That's exactly what I'm doing, Miss Anderson. What else do you think I'm saying?"So it was only because of the baby? I frowned at my thought. Of course, it was only because of the baby. "Just forget about it Mr Black. I don't want to take a shower. I'm cold." I lied through my teeth. As time passed, the awkwardness between the both of us became unbearable.Eventually, he fell asleep before I did. I took the liberty to take a good look at him and I must admit, he is indeed very good looking..His facial structure is very well constructed and looks like that of a celebrity

MIA'S POVI was surprised by his words, that my question to him came out a little shaper than intended."Of course I can cook." He replied confidently"No! Seriously, can you really cook? ""Yes I can cook." I almost melted at his words. I've always admired men who know how to cook. "Why do you sound like it is a crime for someone like me to cook."" I never could have imagined that someone of your status would even know how to light a match not to talk of cooking a proper meal.""Are you being serious? Sorry to disappoint you then, I can light a match, cook and do so many other things too. As much as we were blessed, as children, my parents made it a point of duty to see that we were very responsible. We were never allowed to look down on anyone regardless of their social status.""That explains why Audrey is so charming.""And I'm not?" He asked. "Well……….""I wasn't always like what I was when you first met me, you know." There was guilt on his face. I became very much intereste

AIDEN'S POV" Is something wrong?" I asked Mia, judging by the look on her face, I could say something was definitely up. Besides, I heard her talking on the phone."How long have you been standing there?" she asked."Not too long."She breathed out in relief before answering my question. "Nothing really, it was just my Aunt telling me she wasn't feeling well.""Really ? What is wrong with her? ""She didn't give me details on that. How was your meeting?""It went well. Come on, let's take a walk outside. You have been in the door all these while.""I'm really not in the mood . Can I just go to my room and rest? I'm really tired.""Are you sure you are okay?""Yes. I'm fine. ""Okay then, let's go to your room together. I will stay with you just Incase you need something.""That won't be necessary sir. I just want to be alone."What could have caused her sudden change of character? I didn't press any further. I let her be. I read some pregnancy books about pregnant women having mood

AIDEN'S POVPATRICIA!??? I was glad that I was right behind Mia's back; if not so, I wondered what would have happened. "I'm so sorry….…." She trailed off when she saw me. "Aiden!??" She called out my name in surprise.I was actually shocked to see her as well. I was in a daze for a moment before getting hold of myself."Are you okay Mia? Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked her as I examined her. "I'm okay Aiden." Just hearing that brought a huge relief to me.Patricia was still there while all this was taking place."What are you doing here Aiden?" I heard her ask me. "What sort of question is that? What does it look like?"I saw Mia giving me a look that said;Be nice! If only she knew who the demon standing in front of her is, she wouldn't have given me that look. "Let's go home Mia." I said as I tried to drag Mia with me. "I can't believe you already got married and in secret Aiden.""What do you expect? So, you wanted me to keep mobbing? You are so pathetic."With that, I took

AIDEN'S POVMe??? In love with Mia?I was caught off guard by his words."Why do you say that, Mr Timothy?" I saw he was kind of scared to talk so I relaxed a little bit to make him feel more comfortable. " It's okay. You can talk. Why do you say that,?" I repeated again but this time in a calm voice. "Well, it is so obvious sir. Everyone in the house knows this sir." "What do you mean by everyone? What is so obvious?"He was about to say something when I saw him look behind. "Ma'am Audrey, you are home. I better go prepare the food. Excuse me sir."He disappeared."What were you two talking about?" Audrey asked as she carelessly removed her heels while sitting on the couch. "You're home earlier than expected.That was fast . I just called you not quite long.""I wasn't doing anything anyways when you called so I just figured I could show up earlier."Just then Mia showed up."Look who is home early today." I saw the warmth in her eyes as she hugged Audrey."I have missed you so

MIA'S POV"PATRICIA!!!?? DID YOU JUST SAY PATRICIA?" Audrey asked, dropping her fork loudly on her plate. "That was the name Aiden called her. Do you know her?""Unfortunately, I do. But that is not my story to tell Mia. Just stay clear from her if you ever bump into her again. She is a snake in human form."What an adjective to qualify someone; I thought to myself. First it was Aiden who got really affected after seeing her; even though he tried as much as possible to hide it from me.And now, it is Audrey. I wonder what she did to this family to stir up such a reaction from them. Well, that is definitely not my business.I was dying to hear more but none chose to speak about it and I didn't bother to ask. I want him to be able to tell me things on his own accord without being under durex. I looked at Aiden from the corner of my eyes and saw him gripping the fork in his hand tightly. I decided to change the topic to something else. "I was thinking we could go together for my appoi

MIA'S POV About an hour later after Aiden left, I got a call through the house phone that Mr Timothy was involved in a hit and run accident. I was literally shaking with fear because of the bad news. I called Aiden and Audrey and filled them in on this. "Hello Audrey? I- I- got a call just now that Mr Timothy was involved in an accident and he has been rushed to the hospital." I said,my voice trembling. "What? Calm down Mia...Which hospital was he taken to ?I gave her the name of the hospital and I did the same with Aiden ."Can I go visit him at the hospital, Aiden?""No! Please Mia. Just stay home. I just called the hospital. I don't want you going anywhere to do things that could upset you.""Okay." I knew for a fact that he wouldn't let me out of the house without him. I was just asking wishfully. I was able to put dinner together for the whole house while I got some of the staff to assist. I know I wasn't supposed to do any strenuous activity but I wanted to keep myself bus

AIDEN'S POV"You are so sweet Mia." I didn't know when those words came out of my mouth. She covered her face in embarrassment. I chuckled. "I'm glad I didn't disappoint you" she said in a very low voice. She didn't disappoint me indeed. Even though I did most of the job. And judging that she was still close to being a virgin.I hadn't planned to make love to her just yet, especially knowing that she wasn't feeling too strong this morning. I just laid there beside her unable to move or even get up to go get her something to eat. I sighed in contentment. "Let's go take a shower together." I suggested. The whole room was filled with the smell of sex. I smiled to myself as I thought; I have finally had her and it was like nothing I have felt before. She was incredibly tight and perfectly sweet. Suddenly,a blurry picture came into my mind. It was the memory of the night I took away her virginity. I could hear her voice pleading with me not to do that to her. It was all replaying i

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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
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
