Damien's POV
Never in my wildest dream have I ever imagined life to be this sorrowful for me and depressing. I feel like a real loser for once in a while. I have always rejoiced in the delight of being a winner in virtually everything I do, but I take rejection and failure the hard way. I beat myself up for whatever failure I get.
Aidan knows this about me. I was always the guy with the grade A in mid-school but the year Aidan took A, I almost stopped being friends with him. I felt betrayed. I felt he took the position from me on purpose. I felt he did it to spite me. My mother said I was just being childish and I accepted after giving it several thoughts.
Ever since the night of the award, I spend most of my days indoors. I am not ready to give up, I won't relent until I see Aidan down. I am drafting new plans to achieve my goals and my confidence is beginning to set in at this rate, I am just hoping it doesn't turn out
Anna's POVWhen I see Tony's name flash across my phone screen, I assume he is calling to know if I am truly married or not.The first time he asked me a question like that, it sounded ridiculous to my ears but now that it is real, I feel ashamed of telling him about my unreal marital status."How are you doing, Anna?" He requests. I am quite surprised he Is sounding cool and calm. His voice isn't raised and I can't detect any tone of anger, impatience, or apprehension."I am fine, Tony. How are you?" I demand from him too?I am still expecting him to ask, 'Are you married? I saw it in the news', but he isn't saying anything.I know seeing my marriage to Aidan in the news is not expected because of how quiet it was but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened to be on the news. There are spies everywhere and would do all it takes to get
Tessa's POV"Aidan is married?" I open my mouth in disbelief.I can't believe he eventually married that low-life girl. I thought something will happen and he will realize she is not his type of girl but the message before me proves otherwise."Congratulations, Aidan is married to Anna Gomez", it reads.Damien sent me the message. He has been calling me for half an hour now but I did not pick up his calls. He sent the message instead and I can't believe it.Is this a prank to make me pick his call? I ask myself but after waiting for some minutes for his call to come in and it didn't. Now I know the purpose of his call. He was calling to taunt me
Aidan's POVI had a long day at work today. My work has increased ten folds now that I have new clients, new ideas that I want to work on before the year runs out.Ever since the award night, I have always signed a new deal almost every week. I now have a personal assistant because of the workload. My personal assistant and the secretary now help me in reducing the loads of work I have to work on every week before the arrival of new ones.I know I need a vacation but I can't go on one now. I have a lot to cover before then. I am also planning on launching my new innovative skill next week in Los Angeles. I have employed new workers for innovative ideas and they are really helping. I am also partnering with Madeline's steel manufacturing Industry and I have established a car company in Boston.I release my tie the moment I get out of the car. I heave a sigh of relief for being home after a long
Evelyn's POV"Mom, I want to know who the hell my father is and where he is at the moment", Anna's unexpected question startles me the moment I enter the house.I haven't gotten over the kiss that happened between me and my boss and here I am receiving Anna at the most ungodly time of the day.What the hell is she doing here? I ask within me.This is definitely not the right time to talk about her riff-raff of a father. I am not in the mood to do any talking at the moment. Now that I will no longer work with Mr. Adams, I want to restrategize my life and find my bearings.Anna is sitting on the couch, with her protruding belly and an angry look on her face. She has a key to the house but I am surprised she is here by this time, it's almost 11 pm.I walk in and sit on the next couch in exhaustion. I wasn't really tired from working but the thought of not
Anna's POV I have two fathers? How is that even possible? How can I have two fathers? One of them has to be my biological father. I couldn't wait for the next day to get my answers so I went out to the car after leaving Aidan in his room. I am fucking pissed at him. I was already in my pajamas when he arrived and I didn't bother to go change before coming here. Mother is in a straight skirt with a maroon peplum top. I sit with numbness staring at her but her sob jerks me out of my reverie. A tear trickles down her eyes and I find myself unable to ask her why I have two fathers. My head is blank and I can't seem to find an answer to the question myself. Instead of answers, more questions were arising. Is it possible for two men to father a child? Was my mother cheating on my father? Was she dishonest with him? How did she end up with two men in her life? I am looking into space with more questions coming up, making it difficult for me to reach any conclusion. I believe my moth
SIX MONTHS AFTERAidan's POVI get out of the Ferrari after parking in the driveway. It is past 9 pm already and I am damn tired. I left work early today because I feel I need to rest so I won't end up sick. I have been working hard these past few days and I am already considering a vacation soon, with my baby Lily. She is two months old.I take long strides toward the house with my briefcase while losing my tie with my right hand. I exhale deeply when the tie is off and my phone rings Immediately.It is Richard and I wonder why he is calling me this late."Congratulations to the jack of all trades", he screams."Jack of all trade?" I furrow my brows in confusion.I have no idea what the idiot is talking about. He always call at the wrong time, either when I am too tired of his drama or when he wants to tease me about something and
Damien's POVI flutter my eyes open when I feel the sudden seeping of sunlight into my room. The flash is directly on my face and I know someone is behind it. As soon as I adjust my eyes to the bright light, Paige drops a large file on my bed, almost slapping my face.I glare at her as she stands with arms akimbo. I yawn loudly and sit upright, laying my head on the headboard. I wonder what is wrong now. Last week, we fought because of the girl I had sex with in the club.We fight almost every week, she is either accusing me of being unfaithful or complaining that I am not giving her enough attention. She loves nagging and I have threatened her with a divorce when she does that again.I married her for a reaso
Tessa's POVThis new lifestyle of mine is beginning to bore me to death. Being a good girl for more than 6 months and not having the time to sneak out to parties with Zoe is frustrating but I feel it is time to break free from my father's hold and watchful eyes.I hate corporate outfits but I find myself wearing them for more than 5 months now.I find myself going to work with dad every morning, just so I can appease him. It wasn't fun at first until I stumbled upon Williams and one other guy who is a new intake. Williams and I became really close and I began to feel coming to work is worth it as far as he keeps admiring my sexy dresses and shapes.I now barely remember how depressed I was months ago about the humiliation that befell me but I guess I was able to get out of it because of how fast the videos and pictures about that night went off the media. I don't know if my father is the one responsible for
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
