Anna's POV
I don't know what to think of Aidan and his behavior last night but I know of the obvious fact that Aidan can never change, no matter how hard he tries.
I wanted to see him from a different angle, imagining he is being like this because of what he must have gone through in the past but as much as I tried, I kept seeing his faults in everything happening.
I can't believe he is going back on his words about me dating someone.
Why will he date other girls and I am not allowed to date a man too? Does he even know what he is saying? Saying my baby is still little and I should wait till she is five years old sounds silly.
Damien's POVI guess this is what it takes to be a family man, I muse to myself as I watch Aidan's company. I am here early to see him briefly but I am surprised to hear that Aidan isn't in yet. Aidan is a punctual person and I wonder why he isn't at work at half past 8 am already.I want to make my presence in New York known to him, which is why I have come to visit him. After I was told of his absence, I came back to the car and sat waiting for him. If he doesn't show up in the next one hour, I will have no choice but to leave and come back some other day.I came to New York two days ago and I plan to go see my father tomorrow. I know I will see him at home tomorrow being Sunday, he doesn't work on Sundays.I don't know i
Aidan's POV"Why didn't you call me? What if he was here to kill me?" I bark at Tristan. I no longer know the essence of having him around me when he isn't doing his work.He was supposed to inform me about Damien's presence in the company. He knew Damien was around but he chose to watch from afar without doing anything.What if Damien had shot me? I will be long dead before the police catch up with him.I am tense about Damien's arrival back in New York. I know he is here now for the worst.He meant what he said to me. I am not scared of facing him man to man but I am damn scared for my family, my mother, and Lily, even Anna. I don't want to lose any of them."I just thought it wasn't necessary since I didn't see him with any weapon", Tristan tells me."You think he was going to put the weapon on the car so the world will know he is
Aidan's POVI bumped into a familiar man at the entrance of the hospital. He apologized calmly with a smile before I could say anything.He walked past me and I keep trying to remember where I know him from until I get to the ward where Anna is. I see Tania in the corridor and she leads me in, taking the package in my hand. She had called to tell me to get food on my way here for Anna and I went to the nearest restaurant to the hospital.When I get into the ward and see the guilty look on Anna's face and how she looked away, I figure out who the man is. I remember the picture Tessa gave me and I realize he is the man Anna kissed In the picture.Why didn't he look like he knows me if he is the one?Could it be that he doesn't know me? If he doesn't know me, then it means he is not aware that Anna is married.I am sure Anna asked him to go before I
Aidan's POVI don't know why I can't hide my emotions.As much as I was trying to hide my irritation when she insisted that I go back to work, I couldn't. I showed her that I was upset and she did not even call me back to apologize.I instructed the maids to let her sleep and take care of my baby before heading back to work. I had the intention of staying with her, till she fall asleep before going to my room to call Chloe to bring me some files home so I can work from home. But since she wants me to go, I will.Tristan gave me information about Evelyn's restaurant. I didn't let him stop from monitoring her movement and what she does. He said the construction has stopped for more than a week now. At first, I was glad because that was how I intended to punish Evelyn but now I am thinking from a different light, as a changed man.I no longer want to be bad, I no longer want to punish
Anna's POVI stand up from the chair facing my mirror after a satisfying makeup. I look beautiful tonight, I know. I haven't been paying attention to making up and getting dressed ever since I got married to Aidan.I began to dress up when Tony came back to me and whenever I go out to meet him, without Aidan knowing. By the time he is back, my make-up is gone and my clothes off.I feel I need to look good now more than ever. I don't need to be scared of Aidan or what he will say.I don't know what Tony will think if I tell him to wait for me in a particular place while I go meet him there. I know it will sound suspicious and silly so I ask him to come to the mansion.
Aidan's POVI pack my things, close the laptop, and put the important files inside the drawer before locking it. When I am done, I pick up the briefcase and go out."Good night, sir", Chloe greets me."Goodnight, Chloe", I say in response before walking to the elevator.Changing is much easier for me than I expected it will be even though some things are quite difficult for me. I have been worried about Anna since noon and I am closing early just to go check up on her.By the time I was home yesterday, she was already asleep again and I asked Tania about her health. Tania says she is fine but I still don't feel ok with it.This morning, when I was coming to work, I went into her bedroom to see her sleeping too. I was worried that she was sleeping too much so I went back to Tania and asked her to dish out her food and wake her up to eat
Anna's POVI couldn't summon up the courage to call mother as Tony suggested until this morning. I apologized to her and she said nothing. I tried calling her again to ask if she is home so I can visit her before Tony comes to pick me up but her number wasn't going through.I gave up after a while and spent time with Lily. I fed and bathed her myself before going to get ready for my date. I hope nothing will disrupt my date today, unlike yesterday. I also hope Tony won't ask me anything concerning the apology.I take my time to look good tonight. I put the Lavender dress over my head, after rubbing the lotion on my body and wearing my pants and bra. The dress flowed below my feet and I put on diamond earrings with a matching necklace.
Anna's POVI really enjoyed my day, all thanks to this cute man before me who wouldn't stop making me giggle like a little child. He derives pleasure and happiness from seeing me happy and he is proving to be worth more than any other man.I hear the slamming of the front door and I know instantly that someone must have seen us kissing. We pull away from each other and I look down in embarrassment.He raises my head with a smirk and pecks my forehead like he always does before going out of the car to open the door for me."Bye, love.""Bye", I wave at him till he is out of sight. I suddenly feel cold now that he is gone. I hug my body to myself and walk inside.I see Aidan sitting on the sofa, crossed legs with blazing red eyes, I know I am in for trouble tonight. I am sure he was the one who saw us kissing."Good evening, Aidan", I greet politel
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
