The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FOURTEEN
MIA'S POV"Hello...Who is this?".... I was trembling with fear. I kept yelling at the empty phone. "Hello! Hello! Who is this?" I rushed out of the house in fear. I literally entered into the company shaken. I was looking all white and cold like someone died.I ran straight to Mr Black's and barged in without knocking. I doubled over trying to catch my breath with both hands on my knees. I lifted my head and saw Audrey was also in the office with him. They both stood up at the same time immediately I barged in. "Is everything okay, Miss Anderson?" I heard Mr Black ask with concern. I was literally in tears already before I could speak."No,nothing is okay. Everything is falling apart." I heaved."Please calm down and talk to me. What happened? What has got you all worked up?" He asked again nervously. "What happened, Mia?" Audrey asked.She was also nervous. "They…they are going to kill the only family I have left." I hiccupped. "Who are they and who is killing who? Please, calm
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER FIFTEEN
MIA'S POVI woke up this morning with serious fatigue and a very persistent urge to vomit. I almost vomited out all of my intestines. I was weak and tired but I needed to be at the office early this morning. Mr Black will be meeting with some important clients today. I managed to get myself to work despite my weakness. I got to work a little earlier than usual. I prepared everything he will be needing with this meeting today. I must have fallen asleep on my desk because I didn't hear Mr Aiden when he came into my office. "You didn't get enough rest last night? " I jolted awake on hearing his voice. "Not at all sir. Do you ……." I didn't get to complete my sentence as I sneezed out uncontrollably. "Is everything alright with you ?" "Yeah, I am fine sir.""You don't seem good to me. You know what, you can just stay behind, I will attend this meeting with Audrey.""Are you sure you don't need me there sir?"Why was he acting caring all of a sudden? This was not the Mr Black I knew
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER SIXTEEN
MIA'S POVI opened my eyes and realized I was in a hospital. I groaned out in my pain. I held my head while trying to sit up. I noticed I wasn't alone in the room. I saw Mr Black sitting not too far from me. His legs were stretched out while resting his back on the chair he was sitting on with his eyes closed. I noticed I was in a private ward. I heard the door and the Doctor walked in. It was the same Doctor who had confirmed I was pregnant.I felt a sense of panic rising inside me. He was going to find out. "You are finally awake. How are you feeling?" He said. Mr Black eyes flew open. " I'm fine. Just feeling a little bit weak " "It is expected because of your condition.""What condition? Doctor , what is wrong with her?" I heard Mr Black ask. " She's pregnant. And according to the test carried out, she hasn't really been taking care of herself. She needs a lot of rest and vitamins. She's at the delicate stage of her pregnancy."I gulped. I didn't want him to find out about
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
MIA'S POV I almost fainted out of fear. Without thinking twice, he lifted me up and hurriedly carried me together with the blood to the hospital. I was placed on bed rest and serious observations for the whole day. " You are lucky that Mr Black here was able to get you here on time. I remembered telling you the last time you were here not to stress yourself to be extremely careful. Anyways,there's no cause of alarm""Thank you Doctor." I heard Mr Black breathe a sigh of relief. "No problem. I will recommend that she should be watched over very well. When is your appointment?" I remembered I also saw a list of the days I'll be having my appointments together with my prescriptions." On Thursday" I mumbled. " Okay.. Please make sure you show up early. I'll take your leave now."As soon as the Doctor, I saw Mr Black's eyes blaze in anger. "What were you thinking? Do you really want to get rid of this baby as you said? Is that the reason why you are doing this? I gave you a strict
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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER NINETEEN
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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
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 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
