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
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
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
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
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
