AIDEN'S POV

I banged at the door to Jason's apartment with the remaining energy left inside of me. I still cannot believe what I discovered today. My head was spinning and I was overwhelmed with a lot of emotions.

The door opened wide after a while with Jason standing next to it.

" Aiden?..... what are you doing here?" He asked as a confused expression appeared on his face.

It was obvious that he just got out of the bathroom with a bathrobe wrapped around his body and the messy and wet hair. It's a miracle that I was able to notice this details and without thinking twice, I walked into his apartment.

" Oh for God sake! How much did you drink?" He asked as he tried to cover his nose.

I shrugged my shoulders in response as I walked towards his couch in the living room. It was my first time in his apartment ever since he moved out of grandma Gloria's house.

" You reek of alcohol, I hope you know that" Jason stated as he walked towards me and then asked. " What happened?.... what's go

    NORA'S POV It's been 2 days since Aiden and I got back to San Diego. That means two days since my son had been kidnapped by God knows who. I tried my best to stay as calm as possible throughout the flight from Del Mar....but as soon as we got back to the hospital, I freaked out. I couldn't believe that this was happening. It was as if someone literally placed a curse on me because it has just been from one bad news to another. First it was the meeting with Gloria Hart and how she had threatened me, then the accident that almost claimed my life and that of Duke's. Thankfully the driver in the truck didn't sustain that much injury. He was discharged the same day I left the hospital.And next, it was the news of my father's passing. I am still yet to recover from all of that and now Duke is missing? Can my life get any worse? Can it get any more pathetic?"I am soo sorry Nora...they tricked me with the call" Jade said to me but I was too anxious and scared to think straight. Aiden ha

  • Once Forbidden, Now Forever    The Kidnap

    AIDEN'S POV This was my first time in Del Mar, but sadly, instead of the reason for visit to either be for business or vacation, it was for a funeral. Nora's father's funeral - Mr Carl Simmons. The first person Nora introduced me to when we arrived was Magdalene. I had heard stories about her even as far back to when Nora and I dated 6 years ago. The middle aged woman had been excited to meet me although her excitement couldn't really show because of the grieve that was on going.It turns out that a lot of people had been patiently waiting for the day Nora would finally introduce Duke's father to them, this only made it better that I was the one who came with her and not Jason. Else they probably would have been rumours of he being the father to Duke. The apartment was filled with soo many relatives as Nora greeted and introduced me to them. Heaven knows that I couldn't keep up with the names anymore after the fifth person. And then, I met the step mother and half sister. Mabel an

  • Once Forbidden, Now Forever    Finding Rest.

    AIDEN'S POV It's been 5 days since Nora told me about the passing of her father. It was also due to that incident that I got to discover all that she went through with her family after she got pregnant. How her father had cut all contacts with her and how she didn't have a choice but to keep my identity a secret. If I were in her shoes, I most likely would have done the same thing.And then, how it turned out that the woman she had thought was her mother was actually her step mother and how she had gone all the way to Missouri in search of her birth mother. It pained me for not being there for her throughout those period of hardship. Which is why I had volunteered to go with her for the funeral of her father. It was going to be held in Del Mar in the next two days. Although, Jason had wanted to go with her, but I persuaded him to give me the opportunity to be there for her. He already knows how I feel about her and now, I was looking for the perfect opportunity to have the conversa

  • Once Forbidden, Now Forever    Ruffled Feathers

    AIDEN'S POV I walked into the family mansion and then approached the maid who I had sighted as soon as I entered the house. "Mr Hart.... you're here, it's good to see you" she greeted me like she didn't just see me last week Sunday for the weekly dinner we had with grandma." Where's my grandmother?" I asked her, going straight to the point. I wasn't in the mood for fraternizing." She's upstairs in her room" The maid replied.Without wasting any more second, I headed straight for grandma Gloria's room and then placed a knock at the door." Come in" she stated from inside. She was sitted in front of her dressing mirror, doing only God knows what but I knew that I wasn't interested in it. " Aiden? I was just about to call you" she started and then asked. " What is this I'm hearing about you skipping dinner with Olivia and her family? This is your in-laws from goodsake! Do you know how disrespectful that is?" She asked all at once I wasn't even surprised that she knows about this. S

  • Once Forbidden, Now Forever    Memory Lane

    NORA'S POV My world was crumbling and it's only a matter of time before it all collapses to the ground. I remained silent as Salvador read the test result. Apparently everyone was going to find out the secret that I had kept for 6 years today. " Nora..... what is this?" He asked I didn't enven know where to start from. I had thought that I'd be mentally prepared for this moment, but here I am, caught unaware and been forced to explain my deepest fears and secrets to everyone." Why is there a DNA test result containing Duke and Aiden's name?" He continued I swallowed hard as reality dawned on me. " Salvador.....I can explain" I started " Well do so, because that is what I am waiting for " he replied I glanced towards Duke who was peacefully sleeping despite the chaos that was unfolding. I guess the drips that was given to him is what is causing the deep sleep. " Can we please go somewhere quiet ?" I asked Salvador." Fine " he replied as he walked out of the hospital room towar
