Evelyn's POV
I didn't meet Anna at home. I feel it is time to tell her about Aidan since he has plans on coming to see her. I want her to know about what I did before he comes.
The excitement I was feeling from work is suddenly replaced with worry. I don't know what Anna will think of everything, I don't know if she will understand my reasons and I don't know if she will be pleased.
I guess I will have to keep the divorce after 6 years of marriage which Aidan told me about to myself for now. I know if I tell Anna, she will not listen to any more things I have to say. I don't even know if she is going to agree to the marriage yet.
I begin to pace the room, thinking of how to present it to her and what she will think and say of it. I haven't figured it out when the door opens and she comes in. She looks pretty in her maroon dress and I wonder what type of party she went to.
"
Damien's POV I stir in my sleep. Tessa's arm is wrapped around me and her head is on my chest. I had watched her sleep last night immediately after the rough hours of sex. I have never met a woman like Tessa in my entire life, she wasn't exhausted after an hour of sex and she insisted on another round. Tessa rode me like a horse and it pulled me to the edge. I thought I could allow her to take charge but I was wrong. She wanted to but I pulled her down with urgency and thrust into her harder than before. I like her. I blink my sleepy eyes open again and stare at her slightly open mouth. I can feel her naked boobs pressing hard into my chest and I feel myself getting hard again. I want to take her, while sleeping but I want to be considerate. I know if I stay here watching her face and knowing she is naked beneath the sheets, I will definitely have sex with her again and again till the break of dawn. But I have other important things to do. I need to be sure my plan worked we
Aidan's POVI wake up with a banging headache. I groan and flutter my eyes open. The sun seeping into the room makes me shut my eyes back the moment I open it. My eyes hurt. After a while of keeping it shut, I open it again.I see a feminine hand wrapped around my body and I turn to my side to see the girl beside me sleeping soundly. I suddenly remember what happened last night, how I brought the girl from the party to my villa.I sigh heavily and pick up my phone from the stand to see the time. It is past 8 am already. I curse silently and throw the girl's arms away together with my phone before jumping down from the bed.I pick up my phone again to check if there is any message from Chloe but there is none. The girl stirs in her sleep and I realize I don't even know her name. I didn't bother to ask for her name, we only went straight to business.I rush into the bathroom to tak
Anna's POVI didn't know when I slept off while crying last night. It is when I open my eyes to see it is morning already that I realize I didn't wake up throughout the night. I slept like a baby, even though my heart was aching from the revelation of last night. My heart is still aching.I can't believe my father left us. My mom had always told me he was dead. He died in a car accident. Why is she saying something else now? Why did she lie to me all these years, making me feel unfortunate for not getting to meet my father?I can barely remember what he looks like or anything about him other than the fact that I used to have a father figure in my life until he disappeared into thin air and I didn't ask of him until I began to see my mates in school talk about their father and see their fathers coming to pick them up from school.Why did my father leave? What did mother do to him? Will he come b
Aidan's POVDamien's present is indeed the best birthday present ever. I was still in a trance after watching the video till the end, trying to comprehend some things and asking myself how he got to Tessa when I received my mother's call. She called to wish me a happy birthday and I told her I was coming over to the house.I am on my way to the house now, smiling inwardly for having tangible evidence to present to my father so he would stop supporting Tessa and stop pestering me about getting married to her. I feel the video is enough to convince dad of how slutty, and unworthy she is to become my wife.All I need to do is to get to the house on time before father leaves for work and show him the video.When he is done watching it, I want to know what he will say and I want to see his reaction to it. I am hoping this will make him change his mind and help me find another way to win the award wi
Tessa's POVI had sneaked out when I woke up to see Damien sleeping beside me. I was lucky to get a cab right outside his home which dropped me off in Zoe's apartment.I had to go out without letting Damien know because of how strange he was acting and the strange words coming out of him lastnight. I am not the type of girl to be serious when it comes to relationships but ever since I saw Aidan, I knew I wanted him and I was willing to let go of my wayward lifestyle.Now that Damien is in the picture, I have no idea what and how I am feeling about it. But one thing is for sure. I enjoyed the night with him.My $1000 dress was worth the night with him. I enjoyed myself and right now, I am exhausted. I need to take a hot bath and go back to bed.I march to the door of Zoe's home and knock gently, hoping she is home. I want to rest for a while in her place before finding a hot
Anna's POVMother left for work after dropping the bombshell.My marriage with Aidan has an expiry date. Is this like a contract or what?I don't even know whether to be happy or sad. Happy because I won't spend forever with Mr. Arrogant and sad because I will get divorced at an early age. I am just 24 and in the next 6 years, I will be 30. I am sad that I am going to get a divorce at 30.I see divorce as a bad thing.The separation of parents causes emotional trauma to the child. Pamela is a close example. Pamela rarely talks about her mother but her love for her father is out of the world. I know she is blaming her mother for the divorce of her parent
Aidan's POVI was buried in my work till 7 pm when I remembered I had the intention of paying Anna and her mother a visit today.I quickly round things off and pack the files I will be using at home in my briefcase. I stroll out before locking the door. I had dismissed Chloe since 6 pm.I take the elevator out to the parking lot and hop in before driving off. Different thoughts are running through my mind as I drive to the neighborhood. I am hoping to meet her mother at home since it's past 7 pm already, I am sure she must be back from wherever she is always going to.What should I say to her? How can I succeed in convincing Anna? Should I plead with her to agree to my terms? Should I try sweet-talking just like Richard has advised?I shake my head at the thought of begging her.I can't do that, I mutter."What do I do then?" I ask
Anna's POV Mom is ransacking my closet for a decent dress to wear before Aidan comes to pick me up to his mother's home. I am laying quietly on the bed watching her. She is excited and I am happy that she is happy about the turn of events. The only joy I am deriving from this is that my child will be born within the confines of her father and mother's marital home and I don't need to go long distances to search for her father whenever she requests to see him. I know my mother wants this too. She doesn't want my daughter or son to be like me. I am fatherless but I am not too bothered, probably because I had always thought my father was long dead. I know she is also excited about this because of how our lives will change for the better. We deserve it, don't we? I have always dreamed of growing up, going to school for mom, and landing myself a good job with good pay so I can
Anna's POV"Tessa Rodrigue has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the kidnap of the Billionaire's daughter, Lily Elizabeth Alvarez", the reporter states, and I heave a deep sigh. I feel a touch and I know instantly that it is Aidan."What are you thinking about?" He asks me after pecking my lips. He pulls me closer and puts off the television with the control. I am sitting in between his legs with his back on the headboard."Nothing", I whisper. I have just finished taking a bath and Aidan is also coming out of the bathroom. We have plans of going on a tour today. We are on a vacation to Paris and we are going to begin our tour today.We have been indoors for two days now, doing nothing other than playing games, cuddling in each other's arms, and having sex. Sex with Aidan is amazing and I love every moment of it. I love my life now and I am hoping it will last forever.
Aidan's POVMy family is complete now and my joy knows no bounds. It is as if the kidnap never happened. Sometimes, I feel like spending the whole day watching Lily play, sleep or giggle, but I can't do that all day.I realize Lily only has my eyes but she has a striking resemblance with her mother.Anna and I had gone out this morning to visit Tony and I wanted Lily and her nanny to come with us but Anna protested. Tony was surprised to see us but he invited us in anyway. I have no idea why I followed Anna until I got there. Tony was truly hurt and I realized a man like that can do anything.I apologized to him for my behavior the other day and explained things to Tony. I didn't want him to see Anna as a bad woman so I told him I was the one who gave her the right to date other men while we were married. It was after she began to go out with him that it dawned on me that I might lose Anna to him and I
A WEEK AFTERTessa's POVI would never have hurt Aidan's baby, I wasn't that cruel. 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. I never knew this is where it would land me. I never knew I would be considered a criminal.I kept telling them that I am pregnant but no one seems to be listening to my lamentations. I know my father won't help me, he is mad at me and I am sure he has already disowned me by now. I don't know who I am pregnant for and I tried guessing if it is for Damien, William, or Trevor, or even the guy I had sex with at the party.One of my boys betrayed me and brought them to the house where I hid them. I had no other options left so hosting them
Aidan's POV"Shit!" I hit the car bonnet in frustration.This is a dead-end. I can't believe my baby won't be found. 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. They must have decided to change their vehicle on instinct."Shit!" I curse again. I feel like crying right now. I can't imagine life without Lily. 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. If I had done the right thing for Lisa by reporting Damien to the authorities, maybe he wouldn't have the guts to be doing this and seeing me as his enemy."Aidan?" Tristan holds me, as I hit the car again, more aggressively. I didn't know when tears begin to spill down my face u
Aidan's POV"I'm going with you, Aidan", Anna pulls my hand as Tristan and I get to the pavement. She kneels, begging me."No, Anna. You need to stay here and wait for us to be back", I peck her forehead."No, I want to go with you to see my baby", she begins to cry again and I sigh. "I don't want them to kill my baby.""Anna.........""I want to come with you so I can beg them to let my baby go. Please, Aidan", she sobs.I turn to face Tristan and he shakes his head."I promise we will be back soon", I kiss her lips and release her hand from mine before walking towards the car with Tristan, ignoring her cries. Natalie comes out immediately and helps her back inside with the help of Jodie."The presence of Tessa at your accident spot will ease everything, she is a suspect" Tristan informs me as we enter the car.
Aidan's POV"My baby!", Anna shouts as I enter the house. She runs out of the car before I can even park the car well in the driveway.I run after her and barge into the house. I just hope she won't hurt herself. I wonder where Tristan was when it happened.Who could it be? Is it Damien?I know Damien isn't the only enemy I have. He isn't the only person I am holding grudges against. Apart from Damien, Tessa is there also and my father. I remember Tony and I wonder if he is capable of doing this to get back at Anna for deceiving him.By the time I enter, Anna is already on the floor in the living room. We shouldn't have spent a week at my villa, we planned
Aidan's POVI have never had sex in the bathroom with any girl, not even Paige. I believe I am always in a hurry to have it done with the other girls I have had a nightstand with.I had sex with Anna in the bathroom and it was amazing. I love her every fucking moment and every time we make love.We are going back to the mansion today. I wanted to make coming here special so I decided that we should spend a week here, enjoying the blissful moment of our reconciliation and my recuperation. I am as strong as a horse now and even though the bandage is still on my head. The doctor asked me to come to take it off tomorrow.I can begin work fully starting tomorrow. I miss my baby Lily and I can't wait to see her again.I am going to plan our vacation before the month ends. I want Anna and I to re-pronounce our vows and have a real honeymoon. What we did here is just a
Aidan's POVThis is all my fault, I pushed her into the arms of another man. I rejected what she was offering me, her heart and she went in search of someone who would take it gladly. I didn't realize the kind of pure heart Anna has until now, I didn't realize the kind of woman she is until now.Despite her broken heart, she kept pushing to gain entrance into my heart but I kept shoving her back, making her feel rejected and unwanted. This is all my fault but I don't know if I can survive losing her.She is the reason I survived this accident in the first place. I remember the man that pushed me, he kept telling me to go back to Anna.I know I am a bad person, if only I am good, I would have told Anna to go back to Tony and accept his proposal so they can be happy together but I am not good. I am selfish and I want to be selfish till the end, I can't let her go.I pull her to me in an em
Aidan's POVLily brought back my memories before I even remembered who I was.I was able to figure out that the lady beside me is my wife. She had collapsed after I asked her who she was and her long face broke into a smile the moment I called Lily.The moment I called Lily her name, everything came back. I remembered everything, work, my problems, my mother, and my relationship with Anna.Our relationship is kind of unique and different from other people's relationship. There was no courtship, no dating, no love before marriage, and no hope for the future of our marriage, we just ventured into it, to get what we want and when it is time to leave, we will get divorced and that will be the end of our rela
