All Chapters of His Hidden Heart: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Dominic-“I guess you aren’t dead after all.” Valerie sighed.“Let her go!” I rocked the chair I was sitting in.“Sorry, I can’t do that.” Valerie stood, releasing Hayden.Hayden moved closer to me, wrapping her arms around my legs. My chest ached as I saw absolute fear on Hayden’s face. When I left this morning, I suspected it was a trap. The moment the plane landed, I received a text message from an unknown number, telling me to meet at a location if I wanted to learn more about my father’s death.It hadn’t mattered at the time because I figured that as long as Hayden was safe, I could handle anything. When I arrived at the location, which had been an empty warehouse, I was knocked out and woke up where I am now. On the plus side, I learned more about my father’s death, which was directly tied to Lexus, as I suspected.Valerie had brought a man who had been involved with the fire and told me he was the one who had lit the match. She had told me she would let me handle the man howeve

Dominic-Placing my hand against the side of the car, I bent over when a wave of dizziness hit me. Closing my eyes, I focused on breathing until the world stopped spinning. I knew I should wait for Tristan or someone else to take us to the hospital, but I was worried that Hayden’s injuries couldn’t wait much longer.Once I felt steady enough to drive, I got in the Hummer. Hayden was unconscious when I looked over at her as I put on my seat belt. Reaching across her, I pulled the seatbelt over her and strapped her in.“Hold on. I will get you to the hospital.” I pulled my hand back after briefly touching her face.I ignored the speed limit to the hospital. When I pulled in front of the emergency room, I didn’t care that I was blocking the path for an ambulance. Slamming the vehicle in park, I left the Hummer running as I got out.I dropped to a knee when my feet touched the ground but caught myself with the door before I fell completely. Tristan must have informed some of my men to mee

Hayden-As I spent time in the hospital, I was going stir-crazy. It has been over a week, so I thought I could get up and move around independently. Apparently, I was delusional because no matter who was around me, they wouldn’t give me space.It was initially sweet because it was nice to be pampered, but now it annoys me. Dominic watched me like a hawk, rarely letting me out of his sight. On the occasions he wasn’t around, Lily, Maria, or Tristan were with me. I haven’t had a moment alone since I woke up in the hospital and found out I was pregnant.“Let me help you.” Dominic jumped out of the chair as I tried to get out of bed.“I am just going to the bathroom. I can get there myself.” I ignored him and stood while ignoring his outstretched hand.“I don’t want you to fall.” Dominic said and then lifted me in his arms, cradling me.“Put me down!” I kicked my legs and slapped his chest.“Stop, or I will drop you.” Dominic carried me to the bathroom despite my continuous protests. He a

Hayden-As Lily said she would, we were allowed to enter the private party without an invitation. I wouldn’t have thought anything of it, but we arrived after a group of people who tried to enter without an invitation. Unlike us, they had been turned away.“What did you say to him for us to be able to get in?” I asked Lily once we were out of earshot of the guy checking invitations.“I didn’t say anything.” Lily shrugged and pulled my arm, directing me and the others to the bar.“Then how did we get in?” I frowned.“Don’t worry about it. Perhaps we got lucky.”We arrived at the bar, which was lit with neon lights. Behind the bar stood a beautiful woman. Her smile could kill, especially with the large single dimple on her left cheek.“What can I get for you girls?” The bartender asked, throwing a rag over her shoulder and flashing us with her killer smile.“I will have a vodka tonic, and she will have a Shirley Temple.” Lily leaned on the bar and reached over the counter to grab a cher

Dominic-“What do we do now?” Hayden asked after we broke apart, and I started assembling my office.“I don’t know.” I muttered.This entire situation was bad. I was in a meeting when everyone’s phone went off, alerting them to the new article. Tristan had helped settle everyone, but it disrupted things at the office. I had to cancel the meeting and let everyone go home with the promise of an explanation.“I have a suggestion.” Maria spoke up as she helped clean the office.“What?” I didn’t glance at her as I checked over my computer to see if I had broken it.“Well, I think it would be a good idea to get the news article taken down before it spreads further than it needs to.” Maria put my keyboard on the desk as she spoke. “After that, try to meet with the heads of other families to see what they say. In the last four years, you have made a lot of contributions, so I don’t think they will all turn against you. Also, your father was highly respected.”“I don’t think meeting with them
