Aidan's POV
I 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
Aidan's POVI am tossing in bed with guilt. Pamela said she won't be able to come over tonight but promised to come first thing tomorrow morning. I know she has not been in New York for weeks but Richard informed me that she will be back today. It is past 11 pm already and I can't find sleep.I am greatly troubled. It is as if I am feeling Anna's pain. It is as if the more her tears, the more I am feeling hurt. I have no idea what is happening to me and why I am feeling this way. I know what I did is wrong but I am not supposed to be feeling this hurt.When I can take it no longer, I stand up and rush to the door. I throw it open before running down to Anna's room. I don't care what happens, she needs to hear me out and accept my apology.As I get close to the door, I am lucky to see Tania coming out with an unhappy expression, I use this opportunity to enter before Anna will come to lock the d
Aidan's POV"Boss?" I feel someone tapping me. I groan and sit up, before opening my eyes to see Natalie. I can't believe I slept here on the sofa. My face becomes red with embarrassment, I am in nothing but shorts."Pamela is inside already", she informs me. The memories of what happened last night came rushing and I feel ashamed of myself again.I want to stand up and go to Anna's room to see if Pam has convinced her or not so I can call Evelyn to come and also my mother to come and plead on my behalf. I know she will definitely listen to one of them. I also need to call Chloe, I won't go to the office today. I am afraid Anna will use that opportunity to run away with my child."Boss?" Natalie stops me as I begin to walk towards Anna's room. She shakes her head. "I think you shouldn't go in now. I just woke you up so you can freshen up and go to work. It's almost 7 am."I don't
Tessa's POVI move swiftly across the road, in my maid's disguise. I am wearing a sexy dress beneath with a long gown that makes me look like a maid. I am using this disguise so the security or his bodyguard can let me in.I parked my car down the street and walked all the way here. When I see his house in view, I heave a sigh of relief. The walk down here isn't too far but I am getting tired already, probably because of the big dress I am wearing to disguise my identity and hide my weapon.I did not tell Zoe I am coming for this. I didn't think about my plan well but I am confident it will work. All I need to do is shoot his brains out and take off. I know Damien will be home by now. I have been monitoring his movement for two days now.I am about to move to the other side where his house is located when I see a big guy dragging someone out. She looks small but I can't see her face. She seems to be
Evelyn's POVI haven't been picking Adams's call since the night we saw Anna at the restaurant. I feel dejected that my daughter doesn't understand me and is not ready to support me. I only gave Adams a chance but I am ready to let go already. I want to prove a point to Anna.But he keeps calling. I have been indoors since that day, crying my eyes out and thinking about my life. I have no zeal for anything anymore, even my dream of having a restaurant. I saw Aidan's message but I did not acknowledge it because I didn't feel like it and I wanted him to know that I am not a beggar.I don't even feel like going ahead with the building anymore. I just wish the world would go on without me. I just wish I can have peace. But I am troubled, gr
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
