The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE
UNKNOWN PERSON'S POVThump!Thump!!Thump!!! My heart beats faster as my phone rings. There is only one person that calls through this cell phone. Looking at the caller's identity, it was indeed confirmed. I tried to ignore the call but the caller was persistent with the call. The annoying thing here is that the caller had to call by this time when everyone else is around.Sneaking out, I took the phone and went where nobody could hear me to pick up the call."Hello boss!!" I said nervously. "Why the hell weren't you picking your calls? I have called you several times and you kept ignoring my calls?" The angry voice of the caller vibrated through the phone. " Nobody, I mean, absolutely nobody does that to me. Get that into your thick skull.""Pardon me, but you shouldn't have called me by this time boss. There are people around and I could get caught.""Who the hell are you to tell me when to and not to call you? I don't care about that. We are in this mess right now because you di

UNKNOWN PERSON'S POV."Oh yeah? She is so kind and friendly. Why then, did you decide to kill her?""Shhhh!!!" I quickly covered this person's mouth with my hand. " Lower your voice. Someone could hear you. Stupid!." "Let go of my mouth." The words were muffled. "Why are you suddenly scared? Aren't you the one who tried to take her life?"I removed my hand and sighed heavily. " You are right about that but I did not do this because I was bitter towards her. I did it for the money.""What difference does it make? You are worse than I am. I'm out of here. When should I expect my money? Just like you, I'm also doing it right now for the money." "You are an idiot.""Just like you." With that, I was left alone. I was thinking on how to inform the my boss who in no doubt would cut my head at this news that someone was close by while I was on the previous call. Dialing the number, it rang countless times but there wasn't a response. I quickly sent a message explaining what happened whic

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

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
