AIDEN'S POV When I heard Mia's scream, my heart almost leaped out. A million thoughts went through my mind. Oh God please let her be okay!. I hurriedly rushed back to Mia's room together with the doctor. We found her trying to stand up while tears were streaming down her face.The gown she was putting on has a blood stain on it."What the hell are you doing? You should be resting Mia." I yelled at her. I didn't mean to but I was so scared. "I'm s-s-sorry….I just wanted to see if I could stand on my own." She said in a soft voice. My expression softened. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose." Just lay down back and let the doctor examine to see if there are no complications." I assisted her in laying and nodded for the doctor to go ahead.He raised her gown and I almost growled possessively. She was only putting on her panties underneath.I don't want anyone looking at my woman except for me. I knew he was only doing his job. He must have have noticed my uneasiness because I
AIDEN'S POV "Mia's Aunt." "Why aren't you answering it?" Audrey asked.This was a call I have been dreading for as long as Mia lost the baby. I knew I should have called her ever since it happened which was also the right thing to do but my fear wouldn't let me do the right thing."What am I supposed to tell her right now?""I'm sorry to say this to you buddy..but you had it coming. I remembered telling you to inform her when it all started.""So, what are you planning on doing right now?" Audrey asked in concern. She has been calling Mia's phone for days now without any response from anyone.I decided to take the call. I went out of the room and went straight to the car outside and picked it up. "Hello ma'am! So sorry I haven't been able to pick your calls or give you a call back.""What is going on? Where is my niece? I have been calling her line but she hasn't been taking any of my calls either.""That's true ma'am.. Uhm…. The reason for that is because she has been in the ho
ADIEN'S POV"What a minute, don't tell me that Mia can't remember anything? " She asked me with shock written all over her face."About that…….." she cut me off before I could finish what I wanted to say. " Just hold it right there. You are not seriously telling me that my niece has amnesia . She can't remember either of us? My God! This is too much. Just what kind of poison did you people feed her with?""You are misunderstanding the whole situation. It is not like she can't remember anything or anyone. She just can't remember what happened to her, how long she has been in the hospital and the fact that she was once pregnant. The doctor advised us against telling her anything for now until she recovers. He said telling her that can cause her lots of harm for now. Besides, she underwent surgery to remove the remains of our unborn child.""I'm still not happy with this. I want to see her now.""Yes but you have to promise not to tell her anything." I said as I opened the door to get o
MIA'S POVI have been trying to remember what actually happened and why I ended up in a coma at the hospital. I felt like they were hiding something very important from me.Each time I try to remember, I always end up with an excruciating headache that always leaves me holding my head like I was falling.Anytime I asked them the question or brought up the fact that something wasn't right about my memory, they would either avoid the question or tell me to relax.Even though I never said it out loud, I knew that they were hiding something very important and special from me. There has always been this void in me since I woke up. I tried to fill that void up but it was futile. Today after everyone had left,Aiden and I were just conversing.I unconsciously put my hand on my stomach while rubbing on it softly. Just then everything hit me so hard and I started remembering some things.MY BABY!!! I thought. "Oh! No! Aiden I can't feel my baby,.Aiden, I can't feel our baby. I can't feel my b
AIDEN'S POV"Nobody has the right to keep this from me, Aiden. Not even you!!."Her words echo in my ears.I felt pain in my heart not because she accused me or something or because she was unreasonable. No! Not that. I felt pain because she was feeling pain. I felt pain because I didn't want her to be mad at me. I do not want her to see me as the enemy and push me away from her life. She needs me now more than ever. We both needed each other now. "You are right Mia. We had no right to keep it from you as you said but we only did that because of your mental health. There is no excuse that could make up for what we have done . Please forgive me. On behalf of the rest of us, I'm saying we're sorry. They did that based on my bidding. Please don't blame anyone." I took her hand in mine and placed a soft kiss into palm.I thought I was going to die when I saw her fall from that bed as soon as she discovered that our baby was no more. The fear that gripped me when she fell was something
MIA'S POV"No you don't mean that. You are only saying this now because you are hurting. Believe me, you will overcome it. You are still young and there are lots of opportunities for you to still have kids as much as you want." My aunt said to me,"That will never happen again." I replied with utmost conviction, my eyes blazing with anger.I don't care what anyone may think. It is my life and with what I'm going through right now, I don't think I want to even consider going through it again."You are hurt right now and you probably don't understand what you are saying." My Aunt said while nodding her head in understanding. How could they do this to me? What did I ever do to them? All I ever wanted was to live a peaceful life with the bundle of joy that God gave to me. Now, that won't ever happen again. It is too painful and I can't take it anymore. I just wanna die alongside my princess.Aiden was staring at me like he wanted to say something but decided against it. "I just couldn'
MIA'S POV"STOP RIGHT THERE." The bodyguard said to the servant who immediately put her head down. "I'm so sorry ma'am! I got carried away. I was just so excited that you are finally home.""It's fine," Aiden said. I smiled and thanked them all but my smile wasn't coming from my heart. I have become so weary of every one of them. I don't know who my friend and foe are anymore.I took in the sight of the house once more before allowing Aiden to lead me inside. Once inside, there was some decorated cardboard with written words of; Welcome back home ma'am, it is so good to have you back with us. They were all rejoicing that I was back home and so oblivious of the situation on ground or, they just choose to be blind about it. The only person who seemed a little different from them all was Mr Timothy. I wondered why he was looking so unlike himself."Welcome back home ma'am and sir." He slightly bowed in respect."Thank you Mr Timothy." Just then, my eyes landed on the door to my ba
MIA'S POV"I think I remembered something that took place that day, Aiden."We both sat up at the same time. "Really? Tell me, what did you remember?" I saw an eager look of anticipation on his face.I had really hoped I might have some information that will help us in any way with the case. "After my food was served, Mr Timothy tasted the food from my plate as usual. Then after some minutes, he left me to go shower since I was already eating. Then I decided to go use the bathroom. I actually took my food to my room. While I was in the bathroom, I heard a noise. It felt like someone was either opening the door or closing it but when I came out, I didn't see anyone there.""I thought it was a figment of my imagination. It was after I finished eating that I started feeling serious pain in my stomach. I threw up blood and suddenly, it became almost impossible for me to breathe. I started calling out for help. I don't know how Mr Timothy managed to hear me, because I was fighting to bre
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
