I told her I was going to get back to her. I need to see Aidan first.

I want to take the lift to his office when I bump into an elderly woman. I left home in a bad mood and I am here with the hope that the news I got from my father is untrue.

"Hey, watch where you are going", she yells at me.

I wanted to apologize before she said that. But the yelling piss me off. "Watch where you are going too, old woman." I retort back and enter the elevator. 

I didn't bother to look at her as the door closed gradually. I know she must be glaring at me coldly. I have no time to banter words with her, she is th

    Tessa's POV Trevor's call was expected but his request to see me wasn't expected. I know this meeting is going to be about his son, Aidan, and our supposed marriage but I can't help but wonder why he demands to see me in his private hotel and not his office or home. My father is extremely mad at Aidan for rejecting me. He suggested that I forget about him but it isn't an easy task for me. At first, I thought what I have for Aidan is lust, for how he makes me feel during sex but now I know it is more than lust. I love the idiot. My dad told Trevor that I am no longer interested in getting married to his son and he stopped picking his calls. I tried to let go of my plans to get him in every possible means but the thought of seeing him someday with some woman made me pick up the interest of getting him no matter what. Father wouldn't understand. No one will understand how much I love him. Aidan is everything that I want and need in a man. My mom is supportive and on my side, she k

    Tessa's POV Trevor stands up and walks to where I am seated. "Good." He goes to the back and puts his face next to my shoulder. I stare back at his face, wishing it is Aidan. "Your father isn't picking my calls anymore", He whispers close to my ears and moves away abruptly. The action reminds me of how tense I am whenever Aidan is around and whenever I feel his breath on my skin. I close my eyes to shut the thoughts away. "He is angry", I tell him. "I have an offer to make for you to be married to Aidan", he utters and moves to the bar side where there are varieties of wines. He picks one up and pours it into two glasses. I watch him as he moves back to sit, placing the glass of wine before me and gulping his. "What offer?" I pick the glass up and sip a little wine from

Besides, the baby had an innocent look and I would never have hurt her because of what her father had done to me.I did what I did so I could get Aidan's attention and I can finally use the opportunity to have him to myself and probably lie that my pregnancy is his.

We traced the car as Tristan suggested but we found it in a bushy area with no one inside. The tracking device is still on the van which shows that they didn't take note of it.

I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her.These two innocent people that were kidnapped are suffering for my mistakes. I believe this is my mistake.
