Selena and Aiden gripped onto the stretcher tightly alongside the nurses as worry palpable in their faces, as they rushed into the brightly lit hospital. Flashing white lights and the sound of hurried footsteps filled the air, heightening their anxiety as they pushed Selena's unconscious mother on a stretcher toward the theater.

Desperation etched across her face, Selena's eyes darted around and then back at her mother, searching for any sign of hope, "Mom! Mom!?," she called out in hopes that her mother would wake up and all this would be over.

As they approached the reception, a nurse, seemingly out of nowhere, stepped in front of them, effectively removing her hands from the stretcher and blocking their path toward the surgery room.

"Sorry, but you can't go into the surgery room," the nurse said firmly, her voice filled with sympathy but unyielding in its stance. This was a usual routine for her, if some patient had their way they would want to be in the operating room with their

    Selena stared at Aiden and then back at the phone as she disconnected the call, Aiden was surprised by her action. He didn't know if that meant that she was done with Vincent and his schemes or if she didn't want him to listen in on their conversation."You can speak to him if...""No, I...he is blackmailing...trying to blackmail me," Selena confessed staring at Aiden. "How is she?" Axel asked stepping in, he had been on his way to the police station when he got a message from Aiden regarding the issue on the ground. Astrid had also called him about their father's death in prison and if he was aware, he had to play ignorant because Aiden had told him to but from the way Astrid sounded he could tell she suspected that they had yet again hid something grave from her.He had promised to call her back once he was settled."Fine," Aiden responded breaking free from the hug, he pulled Selena by the side towards him still giving her the comfort she needed."She will be fine Selena, she is u

    "Yes I do, he died some years back but the circumstances around his death didn't sit well with me," Selena explained. She remembered coming back from school and her mother telling her, her brother had died, she didn't even get to see his dead body. Even during the burial ceremony, the coffin was closed, he was laid to rest and since that day her mother never spoke about him again. Everything had happened so quickly that she couldn't process it or even mourn over his death, his name was never mentioned in the house by either her mother or father after his burial, it felt like he was never born or a part of her family. "Marcus Crawford," Aiden repeated the name as Selena nodded. Aiden's gaze flickered to the rearview mirror, meeting Axel's eyes, his expression one of confusion and anger.He had told Axel to make his findings on Selena right from the moment he decided to bring her to the mansion and have her sign that contract, and by findings, he meant that he wanted to know every si

    "No, but we can start all over again and do this the right way," Aiden replied. "Because I did be out of my mind not to get married to you again."Selena chuckled at his word as she looked away suddenly filled with embracement at the way he was gazing at her lustfully."I love you, Selena, I want to be with you," Aiden muttered as her eyes met his. She leaned forward slowly planting a kiss on his lips taking him by surprise again. "You should spend the night," she muttered on his lips as she withdrew her kiss. Aiden glanced at Selena, uncertainty etched across his face. He had waited till now because he wanted to make sure she was alright before taking his leave, he had even come into the room to check her one last time before bidding her goodnight.In a million years he didn't imagine Selena would ask him to stay back, or didn't he hear her right?"Are you sure you want me to spend the night?" he asked, his voice laced with a hint of apprehension.Selena slowly nodded her head, a s

    He tossed the cloth to the side as he got out of bed staring at her nakedness as he took off his shirt and pants quickly getting naked himself, he didn't have time to process how beautiful she was, he just wanted to be inside her right now.Selena stared at him as he undressed, she was grateful that the light in her room was dim, it was the first time she was naked in front of Aiden but his eyes were fixed on hers and not on her body. "Your hand should remain here," Aiden said getting on the bed and placing her hand over his neck. His eyes remained on hers as he brought his hand to her clit rubbing on it gently, he could feel her legs closing slowly. "Eyes here," he said staring at her as Selena stared back at him her body slowly relaxing. "Are you okay?" Aiden asked noticing her face was beginning to change the moment his finger plunged into her. "Yes," Selena nodded her hands still over his neck. "You make it sound like I am in class," Selena chuckled. "I would take it you lack

    Aiden reached for his pants on the floor wearing them over his naked body and then his shirt as he got dressed quickly, he dashed into the bathroom calling out for Selena even though he knew she wasn't there, "Selena!" He yelled looking around before closing the door. How did he not notice she had left the room? He was never one to sleep so deep but last night had done a number on him, he had never felt so relaxed as he did after their intimacy. It felt like Selena had intentionally taken charge to keep his mind at ease, she must have been planning this the moment she woke up. He rushed to the drawer when he was done dressing up, opening it to take his gun when he noticed it was gone, his eyes widened in shock realizing that Selena must have taken it. He closed the drawer halfway, his heart already pounding in his chest wondering what Selena might be up to, he picked up his phone on top of the nightstand dialing Axel's number.On the first beep, he didn't let Axel speak, "Let's meet

    "I am sorry Sir but Sir Vincent isn't around," the maid apologized but Aiden wasn't hearing any of it as he walked past her with Axel and his men, they walked into every room in the apartment looking for any sign of Vincent or Selena."Selena," Aiden yelled checking every single room as he came back to the living room running his hand through his head as his heart started to pound in his chest. "They are not here," Axel announced walking back into the living room. "For fuck sake what was she thinking," Aiden yelled. "I don't think they have gone far, Vincent wouldn't want to harm her.""I don't trust that bastard but we should check his other house, he can be stupid enough to move her there," Axel suggested. "Yeah, let's do that," Aiden agreed not able to think of anywhere Vincent would take Selena, he walked out of the apartment and got into his car quickly while Axel signaled his men to follow suit while he got into his car too. Aiden turned the car onto the main street heading

    Aiden woke up, his vision a haze of unfamiliar surroundings. He looked around slowly as his mind cleared, and he realized he was in a hospital room. Groaning in pain, he instinctively reached for his head, only to feel the rough texture of bandages wrapped around it. Confusion washed over him, and a sense of disorientation settled in. Just then, the door swung open, and Axel, Mrs. Frazier, and Astrid entered, their faces filled with concern. They had come in just in time to see if he was up now and they were all glad to see him awake. Mrs Frazier had been upset and angry about her husband's death and her son's desire to act like nothing had happened but when she heard her son was rushed to the hospital, she panicked and came as soon as she could. However, Aiden's gaze did not focus on them, and he failed to recognize their presence as he tried to make sense of who they were, they didn't dress like the hospital nurses so who could they be, "Who are you?" He muttered trying to sit

    "How is he?" Axel asked. They had left Aiden to rest for a bit and then the doctor had examined him privately, he had called them all to his office once he was done and they all couldn't wait to hear his feedback."He is fine and in good condition, but from my examination he seems to have gone back to his teenage years," the doctor announced as Mrs Frazier gasped placing her hand to her mouth in shock."What does that mean? Will he act like a child? Oh my goodness," she panicked, wondering what would happen to the Frazier company if Aiden wasn't going to be able to function in the right state of mind. She had been against him taking his father's company forcefully but there was no way she was going to go back to the streets, Aiden had to be in the right frame of mind to continue running the business. "He won't act like a child, he is in his natural state of mind but his memory is more aware of his teenage years than now," the doctor explained hoping his explanation was enough to cla

    "Her water just broke," Aiden announced. They all got on their feet, Claire and Astrid rushed to her side helping her stand up as they could see the pain etched on her face, while the men ran to get the car ready. It didn't take long when they arrived at the hospital and she was taken to the theater in excruciating pain, Aiden remained outside the reception with Claire, Astrid, Axel, and Tom before the doctor informed him that he could join his wife."Everything is going to be alright," Aiden reassured her when he entered the ward to find her lying on the bed, her hand extended for him to come hold her. "It hurts so bad," Selena cried out. "Sorry," Aiden replied holding her hand in his firmly and planting a kiss on her forehead. He didn't know how else to comfort her, he could see the pain in her eyes and could only hope the delivery would happen sooner.After hours of labor pain, Aiden holding her hand and trying to soothe her pain with reassuring words, delivery began.Aiden had

    "You are serious?" Claire asked just to be sure Axel wasn't joking around.He barely nodded his head to sign yes when she pulled him in for a hug, of course, she was going to move in with him and travel to another country if that was what he wanted.Everything seemed to be moving too fast when it came to how they felt for each other but for the first time in many years, she felt loved. She didn't feel like she was forcing herself on Axel like she had forced Luke to love her.Axel loved her and she could see it."I am happy for you guys," Astrid squeaked with joy, it had been a while since she last saw Axel looking at a woman the way he looked at Claire. It was like she and Selena weren't even in the room."By the way, there is something I was going to tell you, Axel, I hope I am not ruining the mood," Selena said. "I already told Claire and Astrid yesterday that -""Selena is pregnant," Astrid took the word right out of her mouth. "Are you sure you are not the one who is pregnant?" C

    "Yeah, as friends. I think that would be better for both of us at the moment, I feel there are still a lot of things we don't know about each other and-""Are you joking?" Claire's eyes widened as she adjusted herself on the bed again, her face etched with confusion at Axel's words as her eyes darted from him to his hands on hers."Hey!" Axel placed his hand on her chin raising her head so he could see her face, was she crying? "Claire? I was joking," he laughed out. "I didn't find it funny," Claire smacked his hand off her chin. Axel chuckled at her reaction, "I am sorry, didn't know you were a crybaby.""What? I am not," Claire protested looking away from him. How could he tease her like that? It wasn't her fault that she had thought he was being serious about them being 'just friends' when she was attracted to him. "You look cute when you lie," Axel smirked, he placed his hand on her chin tilting her head gently to face him as he kissed her on the lips. "I will have them bring s

    “Where the hell is she?” Axel yelled grabbing him by the collar, he didn’t want to believe that Claire was dead, the time period was too short for them to kill her and her clothes had no sign of blood stain when he pulled it out from the boot. “Let me off and I will tell you, lover boy,” Vincent laughed. Aiden reached for his phone immediately in his pocket, dialing one of the bodyguards who was back at Emily’s house, “Check around the house, she has to be hidden somewhere,” Aiden ordered on the first ring. “We found her boss. Was about to call you, she is unconscious,” the bodyguard replied. “Alright,” Aiden said disconnecting the call and staring at Axel who was holding back on punching Vincent in the face. “She is alright, we might just need to get her to the hospital, quickly.” “You should have stayed in jail,” Axel said to Vincent punching him in the face as Aiden held him by the waist pulling him back. “Let me go Aiden, we need to end him right now so he doesn’t come back t

    “Claire,” Axel called out staring at Vincent on the laptop, his hand forming into a fist as he caused under his breath. He hadn’t anticipated seeing Vincent, wasn’t he supposed to be in jail awaiting his death sentence? This was the reason he had been against Claire going to see Emily, he reached for the door ready to hop out as Aiden grabbed him by the wrist.“Our men are already circling the building, he can’t get away with it,” Aiden said.“You want me to sit here and allow Vincent to kill her?” Axel asked shoving Aiden’s hand away, he stared at Selena and Astrid who were in disbelief at the sight of Vincent, he opened the van door and hopped out running down the street to Emily’s house.Axel ran down the street as quickly as his legs could take him, he couldn’t believe that Vincent had escaped from jail and worse Emily was working for him, what was she bound to gain from Vincent? That douchebag! He should have shot him dead a long time ago instead of hoping that the system would

    THE NEXT MORNING, Aiden briefed everyone on the plan again in the van a street away from Emily's house, "If you feel uncomfortable at any moment, you just think of an excuse and leave," Aiden reminded Claire."Sure," Claire nodded. Axel walked up to her helping her put on the camera properly over her shirt button, the camera design looked like a button from afar, "this is a recording device," Axel said, placing a pen into the pocket of her shirt. "Axel, can we talk about…" Claire spoke in a low tone. She had been trying to speak to him all morning but he seemed to be avoiding the question, she didn't know why he would just listen to her so she could explain everything to him. "After," Axel cut her off. "Do you have your earbuds on?" He asked instead. "Yeah I do," she nodded, tucking her hair behind her ear so he could see it. "I was going to tell you, believe me," Claire whispered in a low voice. "What part of after don't you understand?"She bit the bottom of her lips, sad by hi

    "I was just joking," Claire brushed it off at the puzzled look on Axel's face, she didn't know why she had blurted something out like that to him. Never in a million years had she asked any man that question, she smiled trying to make him see that she was bluffing."Yes.""What?" She gasped. "You… you will be my boyfriend?""Isn't that what you want? Yes, I will," Axel nodded, kissing her on the lips as her eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend that Axel just agreed without any hint of hesitation in his voice.She watched him get out of bed and into the bathroom as she scratched the back of her head, playing back what had just happened in her head. She was about to get out of bed when the door opened with Astrid entering, she dashed out back at the sight of Claire lying naked on the bed."I am so sorry, please I didn't mean to badge in, I am so sorry," Astrid apologized. "Shit," Claire cursed, she could have sworn she used the key when locking the door or was it Axel who locked

    "Don't start what you can't finish," Claire whispered. "What?" Axel chuckled. "Don't look at me like that, you just end up stealing kisses when you want to and I think that should stop," Claire said standing up but she soon came crashing into the bed as Axel grabbed her by her wrist. He grabbed her by the waist shoving her on the bed as he hovered over her, "What naughty ideas have you been thinking while I was away?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "Don't flatter yourself, mister.""So, you didn't think about my lips on yours while I was away?" Axel teased. Claire stared at him trying not to give him the benefit of the doubt but her face was suddenly turning red and she could tell from the smile on his face, darn her face.Maybe she had thought about him and she didn't know why exactly, it wasn't like Axel was laying claim on her but he had kissed her like he was, she didn't want to assume his feelings for her, it was best to stop him from kissing her any chance he got but now
