AIDEN'S POVOn getting into my office, my facial expression changed immediately. I had deliberately acted like nothing was wrong before I left the house but something was wrong. I didn't want Mia to worry and I didn't want to spoil her day so I had to play it cool. I relaxed my back on the chair and lifted my head as I replayed the conversation I had with my staff in my head. "Good afternoon sir." I looked at her weirdly. As a matter of fact, since this incident, I hardly speak to any of them or let them leave the house. It is only Mr Timothy I gave the access to leave the house just to get groceries.I changed my face to a serious one before responding to her. "Is there a problem?" "There is something I need to tell you sir." She said with a voice trembling with fear."Okay. Go on." I said, tapping my feet on the floor. " Before ma'am Mia was poisoned, I - I - I saw………" she trailed off. That immediately caught my attention."You…. You saw what? Speak up!!! For crying out loud.
MIA'S POV"I need to speak to Aiden about this Mia. I'm not comfortable with you living under the same roof with a murderer who tried to kill you" My Aunt said,I totally understood where she was coming from but the thought of leaving Aiden all alone to face the trouble I brought into his life almost choked me to death. I have become so attached to Aiden that I don't think I can breathe without him by my side. "Aunt, I know you are worried for my safety. I know the current situation I find myself in might sound alarming at first, but I assure you, I am safe. As you know, Aiden and I have been living together for some time now. Our relationship has only grown stronger and we have found immense happiness in each other's company. Even if we have recently encountered a rather unsettling situation."" Who's Aiden?" Jayden asked curiously."My..uhm…My Fiance.." I replied. My Aunt raised an eyebrow at that but I only shrugged my shoulders in response. "Is he handsome?""Ummm… .Yes.."" Bu
AIDEN'S POV"Speaking of what you told me on the phone sir, I think I need to bring her in for questioning." Mr Q suddenly said. " Away from the house." He added. "Is that necessary?" I asked. I suddenly became pitiful towards her. Especially, after witnessing his method of questioning with the man who spiked my drink. The tortures and an invasion of the mind."Don't worry sir, I'm not going to torture her or whatsoever. I just want to question her away from everyone else.""Are you sure about that Mr Q?""Absolutely sir.""Alright then. Whenever you are ready." "I will be coming over tomorrow. I need to get to the office. I want to find out if there is any progress with the image I sent to them." "That will be fine." " I'll take my leave now." He said and left. I glanced at my wristwatch and saw it was almost time to pick Mia up. I gave her a call to know exactly where they are. After several rings without any answers from her, I became agitated with fear. I was so worried and
MIA'S POV"She did what? Which of the staff told you this?" I asked in annoyance. I don't understand the kind of staff that are living with him. I'm beginning to look at every one of them with different eyes since this incident."That is not all, she claimed she was hit from behind by someone who unfortunately, she didn't see. She also said that the masked man we saw from the camera was in fact two numbers and not one.""This is serious. How come it was only one person that the camera caught? And how can she withhold this kind of vital information from us since the very beginning? Besides, she was also interrogated.""That also puzzles me. She said she was afraid of being held as an accomplice.""So, she was scared back then and that was the reason why she didn't say anything. Then why say it now? Now she has spoken about it, isn't she afraid of being suspected any longer? I just don't get it at all." "I also asked her the same question but she said she couldn't keep quiet anymore.
AIDEN'S POV"Okay then. Umm!" Mia became serious suddenly. "Once you are done eating, I will be waiting for you. There is something I really want to tell you."" What is the matter?" I asked with my expression changed. I saw the seriousness on her face and also felt it in her voice. I was forced to abandon the food for the time being even though I was famished. I don't want to ever see her worried or stressed out. " It's nothing serious. Just go." "Whatever you want to tell me must be very important so the food can wait.""Please go and eat Aiden.I'm waiting for you alright." She tried to smile in order to make me feel at ease."But….." "Shhh...No buts." She placed a finger on my lips to stop the rest of my words from coming out of mouth. "Oh! Come on Mia, you know that I wouldn't have any rest of mind until you tell me what's bothering you." I groaned. "Okay Aiden, if you say so, I will tell you what it is."She came close to whisper in my ears what it was that was bothering he
AIDEN'S POV"Where the hell were you when some guy suddenly bumped into Mia today?"My anger and fear for the safety of Mia got the better part of me, which made me lose my cool. Like Mia said, there was no way they could have known that the guy was going to intentionally bump into her. Besides, she was sitting down. "We are sorry boss. We didn't think that he would have done that. Besides, there was nothing on the way that could have caused him to trip." One of the guards said. "He was walking straight ahead and suddenly, he came stumbling right into her. " The other guard said. "The hell he did. That is why I'm paying you. To protect her!!. She could have been hurt at that very moment had he intended to." "I'm so sorry about that sir. This will not happen again. ""Did you get a better glance at him? I want him very far away from her.""As a matter of fact sir, we were able to get a picture of him."I became a little bit relaxed at this news."You did?" " Yes sir." "Great jo
MIA'S POVI was kind of scared Aiden might tell me to stay back and not make this trip with my Aunt because of the incident that took place yesterday. Although he tried to hide it from me, by now, I know him way too much to know exactly when he is worried. This whole issue is so exhausting. God! When will all of these end? Why can't things just go back to the way it used to be before all this headache started happening.It felt nice leaving the house yesterday even if it was just for a few hours. It was even more fun being with my Aunt and cousin until that guy bumped into me. I have tried so hard to remember where and how we must have known each other but to no avail. I seriously do not think I have met that guy before. I have always had a remarkable memory and I don't easily forget things. I'm very sure I would have remembered him even if we never really talked. Something doesn't seem right with this. Now, I understand why Aiden reacted the way he did and seems so unease even
AIDEN'S POV "I'm glad you are happy and that you love it. Your happiness makes me happy Mia." I said to Mia, smiling at her lovingly. It was so fulfilling to see the excitement over the surprise I gave to her. Just watching how excited she was over this surprise made me happy as well. There is nothing I want more in this life than to always make her happy. I want to always see her so very happy; because in her happiness, there lies mine too. She has given me so much even without her realizing it. I also want to do everything possible to give her the best things of this life. Mia means the world to me. Every single drop of tears that falls from her eyes breaks my heart. Her smile,laughter and joy gives me more strength to live and strive for the two of us."My love, I can't thank you enough for this surprise you just gave to me. Thank you a million times. You didn't just do this for me alone but for them as well.""Don't mention it Mia. I told you I will do anything just to keep s
