The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER SIXTY ONE
AUDREY BLACK'S POVWhat do I do now? I didn't know if I should honor Jordan's invitation or not. Gosh! I hate not being able to control my emotions. I hate being too vulnerable before anyone. Why now? I have never been the type to be dependent on people especially, when it had a whole lot to do with my heart. I had told him my coming over to his place may not be so soon because I was busy but from the little I have known about Jordan, he wouldn't give up that easily. He may not bring it up again today, tomorrow or next, but he will definitely do. And just for how long do I intend to keep avoiding from now on? What do I tell him if he eventually asks? I need to talk to Mia about this once I am done. She is the only one that will understand me. And perhaps, she might have an answer to give to me.I stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom to have my bath. I washed my hair with my vanilla shampoo and also my vanilla conditioner. I love the way my hair smelled when I was done.

JORDAN'S POV It has been over a week now and I haven't set my eyes on Audrey. She was unable to make it to my place the following day because she suddenly received a call that took her out of the country giving her no chance to even keep to her promise. I got a call from her that morning telling that she was heading down to the airport because her attention was needed urgently for a business deal. These few days have felt like hell to me for not seeing her. Sometimes when I call, I will only get her voicemail asking me to leave a message. I have left messages countless times hoping she will call me back but she never did. Instead, she will send a message saying she was busy. The waiting was killing. During this time while she wasn't around, I had removed the neck brace I was wearing. My leg is almost healed as well. I had gotten information last night from Aiden that she was coming home this morning. So I woke up earlier this morning to have my bath so I could go see her.I deci

MIA'S POVI got a call from Jordan this morning which was strange. He has never called my number before. asking about where Audrey who just came back from her trip last night was"Hello! Who is this please?" I asked after picking up the unknown call." Mia, this is Jordan. Please, I have been trying to reach Audrey but her line isn't reachable. Do you have any idea where she might be?""Oh! Ummm.. She went to get something from her apartment not too long ago.""Alright thank you for your help."With that, he ended the call. Poor guy!! For some reason, Audrey has been dodging his calls and I've been wondering why.The morning she was planning on going to see him, she got a call, so she had to take the next available flight to Australia. I hope the call I got from Jordan was because he wants to set things straight between them. I know he has feelings for her just as she does for him. It was about time they do something about that; which was the main reason I told him where she was. On

MIA'S POV " Why?" She groaned, stomping her feet on the floor. I almost laughed at her childish attitude. " Something about the investigation came up and that is also the reason Aiden is coming home early today. ""Really, what happened exactly?""John, the estate guard called Mr Q to inform him that the guards that were on duty that morning and night will be resuming back to work a few hours from now."" I hope they can get a real lead this time."*Me too. I'm tired of this already. I just want it to end so everyone can move on with their normal life activities without fear and excessive protections. It is tiring. I want to return back to work." I grumbled. "I totally understand Mia. I feel the same way you do. So, are we going to go with them to see the guards?"" I don't want to." I said, stomping my feet on the floor like she did earlier. " The men can go meet them, while we stay here to celebrate your happiness with some ice cream. " I suggested, jumping on the bed excitedly.

AIDEN'S POVSomething seemed fishy but I can't seem to point it out. Audrey just asked me out of the blue if she could go out with Mia tomorrow. Just the two of them. Maybe Mia was actually right. I'm over thinking things lately. It was just an innocent outing. Besides, Mia has been indoor for so long and I don't want her thinking that I'm trying to rule her life even though all I do lately is for her own good. I'm hoping talking with these guards today can give us a positive lead to this investigation.I quickly rushed my food in order for us to move forward with what we have at hand today. I went upstairs to quickly change my clothes into something more comfortable. "Shall we all go now?" I asked once I got downstairs. "After you sir.""By the way, thanks for coming around Jordan.""Don't mention it man. I hope this can provide more clues for Mr Q.""The same thing I'm hoping for. " I sighed. We all went to meet John who in turn called the guards that were on duty that day. Both

AIDEN'S POV" I'm taking this photo straight to a professional who will help me match the picture with potential suspects". Mr Q said"Okay Mr Q but remember, I don't want this out to the public.""No problem sir. Another thing, this information we got shouldn't be disclosed to any of your staff sir. At least not yet.""You have no problem with that Mr Q."We went back to my mansion but my mind wasn't at rest at all. I was scared about everything. I was scared of leaving Mia at home again. I was scared for her life. Even though Mr Q assured me the intruder can't be anywhere on my property, I was still not at peace. I need to make sure of that but how do I do that without raising any suspicion? My heart raced as I thought about the young man in the photo and wondered why Mia? Why me? Who did we offend? His face looked so innocent and harmless but his heart was full of evil. To be candid, I don't think Mr Daniel will go this extra mile to harm Mia all because she slapped him but peop

MIA'S POV After we bidded farewell to Jordan, Aiden asked Audrey and I to go wait for him in his room while he walked Jordan out. I knew whatever Aiden wanted to discuss with Audrey and I wasn't really pleasant news judging by the seriousness in his voice and on his face.I'm fed up with all this bad news. Since I came into his life, it has been from one bad news to the other. It was beginning to bother me so much. It feels like I had become bad luck and a bother to them both. They have been living their lives so peacefully before now. Why did all these bad things have to happen now? I feel so responsible for this. I couldn't help but feel guilty."What could be going on again?" I asked Audrey once we got inside the room. "I don't know but whatever it is, it must be very serious.""Gosh! When will all of these come to an end? You know, I can't help but feel guilty for all of these sometimes.""What are you saying Mia? None of this is your fault.""Yes Audrey! It is. Can't you see?

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 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
