MIA'S POV

About an hour later after Aiden left, I got a call through the house phone that Mr Timothy was involved in a hit and run accident. I was literally shaking with fear because of the bad news. I called Aiden and Audrey and filled them in on this.

"Hello Audrey? I- I- got a call just now that Mr Timothy was involved in an accident and he has been rushed to the hospital." I said,my voice trembling.

"What? Calm down Mia...Which hospital was he taken to ?

I gave her the name of the hospital and I did the same with Aiden .

"Can I go visit him at the hospital, Aiden?"

"No! Please Mia. Just stay home. I just called the hospital. I don't want you going anywhere to do things that could upset you."

"Okay." I knew for a fact that he wouldn't let me out of the house without him. I was just asking wishfully.

I was able to put dinner together for the whole house while I got some of the staff to assist. I know I wasn't supposed to do any strenuous activity but I wanted to keep myself bus

    AIDEN'S POV"You are so sweet Mia." I didn't know when those words came out of my mouth. She covered her face in embarrassment. I chuckled. "I'm glad I didn't disappoint you" she said in a very low voice. She didn't disappoint me indeed. Even though I did most of the job. And judging that she was still close to being a virgin.I hadn't planned to make love to her just yet, especially knowing that she wasn't feeling too strong this morning. I just laid there beside her unable to move or even get up to go get her something to eat. I sighed in contentment. "Let's go take a shower together." I suggested. The whole room was filled with the smell of sex. I smiled to myself as I thought; I have finally had her and it was like nothing I have felt before. She was incredibly tight and perfectly sweet. Suddenly,a blurry picture came into my mind. It was the memory of the night I took away her virginity. I could hear her voice pleading with me not to do that to her. It was all replaying i

    AIDEN'S POVI wanted to raise my fist up and punch him so hard but I refrained from doing so. I didn't want to scare Mia. "How can you be lusting after my wife?" I said again without minding who was listening. "I'm sorry boss. I don't know what came over me. This won't happen again sir." He pleaded while falling on his knees. "There won't be a next time with you. Who knows, the next time, you might try to do something stupid. Get in there, get your filthy rags and get out of my house. You are fired."I called the security guards to drag him out of my presence. I was totally irritated to see another man look at her in that manner. "Are you alright Mia?" I acted on my instincts by giving her a kiss on her lips while the servants were still very much around us. I heard some giggles coming from them while they were already returning back to their duty post. I promise never to allow anyone to hurt or take advantage of you Mia ."What was that all about though?" She asked in a confuse

Just today I decided to go to the office because Audrey had to make an important business trip?Oh God please! God please!!! Save Mia and our baby. The waiting was deafening. It has been hours since I got here. But no positive news from the doctor yet. Just then, my phone rang and it was Audrey."Hello Aiden, what is going on over there? How is Mia doing? I have been at the airport since but there seems to be some kind of delay. I don't know what is going on." "I don't have any news other than what the doctor said about her being in danger.""Are you there all alone? Gosh! Of all the days to get delayed,it had to be today? This is so frustrating. Have you informed Jordan yet? I don't want you to be there all by yourself.""I haven't been able to reach him. The last time I tried calling him, his number was out of reach.""Damn it!"

    JORDAN'S POVI saw the kind of fire and hurt that I have never seen in Aiden since I have known him. This incident must have triggered a very dangerous part of him that I never knew existed before. But who could blame him for feeling this way? What I don't understand is how the person who poisoned Mia was able to pull this out; with the whole security in his house.Since Aiden found out that he was going to be a father, he became extremely careful and very security cautious because of Mia's presence in his house. He even doubled the security in his house.What I don't understand is, how the hell this person did this without any suspicious movement and without being caught.I placed my hand on his back and gave him a supportive pat on his back." It's alright man. I'm here for you. Let me know if there's anything I can do about this situation and for Mia as well.""Thank you Jordan. But not until Mia wakes up, I don't plan on leaving here, or even informing anyone in the house on wha

    AIDEN'S POVDid Jordan just told me I was stinking?"WHAT???" I asked out of amusement. " I meant no offense buddy but I'm telling you nothing but the truth. You can ask Audrey if you think I'm making it up." he said while raising his hands up in defense. I raised my eyebrows at that and looked at Audrey to defend me, but instead I found covering her mouth with her hand.She was laughing? I glared at her. She cleared her and straightened up. She shrugged before responding to me. " He isn't lying to you Aiden. I can't imagine what was going through the doctor's mind when you were speaking directly to him.""You two are not helping any matter at all." I grumbled. "Do you want us to lie to you about it then? Please can we just go so that you can freshen up." I heard Jordan say. I rolled my eyes at him.As much as I was trying to deny this, I couldn't avoid the truth. I breathed into my hand and sniffed it. Man! It was horrible. I told Audrey to call James to come pick me up.Few minu

I want to take a nap.""Alright then but you know you can't avoid this conversation forever." I knew I was acting like a coward all because of the fear of losing Mia. I laid down on the couch using the extra pillow as a support to my neck.I looked at Mia with a side eye one more time before closing my eyes.I felt someone shaking me and realized it was Audrey."What?" I asked while sitting up and stretching my body."It's late already and I'm kind of feeling sleepy." I nodded my head at her and went outside.I instructed the doctor to provide any available extra bed and some pain killers for Audrey. I don't want her sleeping on the couch because I know she won't be comfortable and she needs all the rest she can get.I went back inside and found Audrey sleeping on the couch.I could tell she was so tired.

" What are you going to do? If you had known, you shouldn't have gone there." " I'll be on…………" that was the last thing I heard before the line got disconnected. I hope nothing went wrong.

    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.

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

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

" 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

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.
