MIA'S POV"You are right Aiden. I went out of line and I'm sorry about that. It won't happen again." I said to him apologetically. I wanted nothing more than for him to come to bed Instead of drowning himself in alcohol. I don't want him to see me as a person who bring problems into his life and someone who nags him about his past.I wanted to be more than just a lover to him. I want him to be able to confide in me and not run away from me. I want to be a friend to him and not a foe. "Do you forgive me?" I asked him in a soft voice. He finally met my gaze with his, unwavering. "Do I have a choice? Even if I wanted to stay mad at you, I couldn't." He huffed and I smiled softly. "I'm sorry. Please let's go to the room. Enough of this alcohol consumption." I held him by the hand and led him to the room. I have never seen him this vulnerable or exhausted like this before. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he slept off immediately. I felt for him. If there was anything I could
AIDEN'S POVI haven't really been in a good mood since last night. It wasn't just because of Mia's statement to me last night. It had nothing to do with her.I know it must have been hard for her to date someone like me. Someone who has refused to talk about his past. She has every right to know but for now, my past is the last thing I want to think about when I have a bigger problem at hand. I hated that I snapped at her last night but that wasn't entirely my fault. I was frustrated already and she just added to it at that moment.I mean, I just found out that I have a killer living under my roof. I knew she was worried about me, especially since I refused to speak so much to her or anyone else at that. What would have become of me if she had died in my house? I wanted the search to be over. I don't want anything to get past me. If there is anyone still hiding in my property or if our conversations are bugged. Aside from the people Jordan got for me to help out, I had also gotten
AIDEN'S POVI gripped my hair and growled out in annoyance. This was fucking getting on my nerves. The workers in front of me were already trembling in fear. I didn't want to scare them or pass any aggression to them so I decided to pay them so they could be on their way. " We have been paid by Mr Jordan sir". One of them said to me,I wasn't actually surprised Jordan would take it upon himself to pay them. Even after going through the trouble of getting them down here on a short notice."Come on man. You didn't have to do that." I said to him when he got to my side "It is nothing Aiden. I told you I'll always be here for you.""Thank you," I was a bit relieved there was no stranger hiding in my property. By the time I was through with everything that I was doing, it was already nightfall.I specifically told Mr Timothy to prepare something for the three of us to eat while I sat in the kitchen counter watching him as he prepared the food. Once Mia was done eating, she bidded ever
AIDEN'S POVI had slept like a baby after making love to Mia last night. For the longest time ever, I woke up relaxed and refreshed. I had a very peaceful sleep after our love making last night. It felt more like the drug I need for so long lies inside Mia. I looked beside me and I saw Mia still sleeping peacefully just like me. I must have worn her out last night. I checked my phone and saw it was noon.Wow!!! I stared at her and I had the most perfect picture of her waking up beside me every morning till we grew old together. The sun shines on her as the sheet reveals her still naked body on the bed. She slightly opened her eyes. "Rise and shine,baby" I dropped a light kiss on her lips."Good morning my love." She yawned and gave me that sweet smile that always melts away my heart. "It is more like a good afternoon." I smiled as I saw the surprise look on her face. "For real? I must have slept for a long time." "That includes me, I just woke up as well. I guess we know exactl
MIA'S POVAs the sunlight gently peeked through the bedroom window, I stretched my arms and sighed in content. I couldn't help but reminisce about the incredible night I had experienced with Aiden. As I lay in bed, the memories rushed back to me in vivid detail. It had been a night of intense passion, filled with desires that had been building up between us for what felt like an eternity. I could still feel hus touch, his hands smoothly caressing my body, igniting sparks of electricity beneath my skin. It started innocently with just a casual conversation before it turned flirtatious. And to top it all, we had the wildest and hottest sex ever this morning. I was surprised at my own actions and the words that were coming out of my mouth when Aiden and I were having sex. The words re-vibrated back through my mind.I covered my face with my palm and screamed into it. I had never known I had it in me like that. Now I know the word they say is true about every human being having a beast
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.
