The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
AIDEN'S POVMia and the baby were both in danger. Those words kept ringing in my headThis is bad, this is really bad. What went wrong? 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!" I heard Audrey cur

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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
AUDREY'S POVI got a disturbing call from my brother yesterday that Mia was brought to the hospital because she was throwing up blood. Blood? I had asked in surprise, wondering what could have it . Until he called me back and informed me she had lost the baby because of some sort of food poisoning. I was suddenly struck by unexplainable pain. How did it happen? Who could have poisoned Mia's food? I quickly booked a flight ticket and I had to pay double of the original amount because it was urgent. In the end, the flight was still delayed yesterday. Finally, I will be able to get to my brother today. I'm worried about him and his welfare. He is all I have got in this world. I made it to the hospital and the sight of my brother was heartbreaking to me. He was almost a shadow of himself. He was sitting on the floor with his head bowed down while Jordan was sitting on a chair. I rushed over to them in concern. I nodded my head in greetings to Jordan and knelt down beside Aiden. "

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

AIDEN BLACK'S POVI knew exactly where this conversation was heading to and I wasn't really in the mood for it."Scared of what? Please can we not talk about this right now. 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. Few minu
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
AUDREY'S POVI was having a disturbing feeling all of a sudden. I don't know what it was, but I had a bad feeling that something was wrong somewhere and it wasn't with Mia.I should shake the feeling so I called the house and I was told everything was fine at home. I decided to call Aiden too and when he picked up he told me that the man they went after was a gang member. He and his gang opened fire on them.I felt a sense of panic rising inside of me. I could hear my heart pounding loudly in my chest. "What ?? They were shooting at you? Oh my God!! Are you okay? Where are you?" I asked in panic. " Calm down Audrey .. I'm safe…." he told me. " 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. I could not help but worry. I paced about in the room forgetting Mia was laying down right there until I turned and saw what looked like tears flowing do
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
MIA'S POVI couldn't open my eyes but I could hear the voices of those around me. I could perceive the smell of drugs around which only indicated that I was at the hospital. There was just this smell about hospitals that I can't explain. Why was I here? And how long have I been here? I tried to speak, but it felt like there was a huge lump in my throat preventing me from speaking. Suddenly, I heard Audrey's voice. I guess she was on the phone with someone. I wasn't totally sure who it was, until I heard her say something like Aiden being shot at. Without waiting to hear her next sentence, I started screaming and crying inside me. It felt like it was a dream but it wasn't. "Please tell me Aiden is okay, Audrey. Please tell me nothing bad has happened to him. Where in the world is he?" I was hoping to hear Audrey answer my questions, but unfortunately, nobody else can hear me other than myself. Frustrated with this kind of feeling, drops of hot tears rolled down my eyes."My God Mi
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
AIDEN'S POVAlone with Mia, I started talking to her with the hope that she will respond to me even though I know for certain the chances for that to happen are very slim. I was lost in my own world as I expressed my feelings to her.Suddenly, I heard her sneeze which has never occurred before. I was surprised at first, but immediately it hit me as to what really happened, I was overwhelmed with happiness. I lightly shoved her to see if she would open her eyes but they were still tightly closed. I instantly alerted the doctor who came as soon as he heard what I said to him concerning what Mia just did."Mr Black,did you say you heard her sneeze?" The doctor asked me "Yes doctor. She sneezed while I was talking to her. Why is she not waking up?""Don't worry Mr Black. This alone shows that she isn't far away from us. Keep talking to her, it will help her come out of this soonest. Rest assured, she is totally fine and can wake up at any given time. Her strong will to survive has given

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
