He turned around and saw Casey standing, holding a shopping bag. Adorning an all-black bodycon gown, her blonde hair flowed freely down her back. She wore a pink leather jacket to complement the floor-length bodycon gown.“What are you doing here? In these luxurious shopping parts of the City?” She asked as she strides closer to him.“She looks sexy,” Eileen said, smacking her lips and looking into her brother’s eyes with a smug grin on her face. “Wipe that smugness off!” He commanded in a hushed whisper. Eileen giggled and stood beside him.“Casey! It's been a while, I should have been the one asking you since this part isn't normally your jurisdiction.” He extended his arms and accepted the hug she brought.She looked different, not like the stern, straightforward doctor he meant almost a year ago. Her dark hair was blonde now and she was dressed in her usual business-looking outfits, but rather a casual one. It was a new look for Aidan.“I remember you.” She pointed to Eileen, wa

“Oh my God!” She jumped back and quickly deterred her eyes by covering them with her hands.“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know” She turned quickly and closed the door behind her.Aidan fell on her neck as he was still on top of her, buried deep inside of her. His hot breath continued down her neck as he heaved up and down, trying to find a calm pace for his panging chest. She chuckled. “Busted, no more hiding from her then.” She said and wrapped her legs around him, bringing him in the more. He turned to look at her and his expression was different as his dick became flaccid inside of her. It fell out itself even with her moving her waist herself to continue what Eileen had interrupted.“What is it?” She asked as he removed her wrapped legs and sat at the edge of the bed, using the sheets to cover his semi-hard dick. He rubbed his hands through his hair and sighed a weary sigh.“We shouldn't have done this, Eileen coming in here was a wake-up call” Erica was flabbergasted, and he

Aidan’s POVAidan walks right past them and into the house, pretending he didn't hear, with an aching in his heart. “I uh… wished your mother lived a happy life, but she didn't and me being here, I'm not happy, I have to leave, and I don't know what better time to say it.” Erica sniffled and drew in a short as Aidan slowed his steps down to catch a breeze. He saw Erica turn to get an eyeful of him. They both locked eyes and after what felt like forever, she left the two of them. Aidan shook his head after, he knew why she was leaving but that was low of her to bring it up at this point when Eileen just learned about the life her mother lived and how evil and heartless her birth father was. Erica always finds a way to squeeze herself in. “You know she's right” “What?” He squinted his lids and narrowed his eyes after what Eileen said broke his thoughts. But he didn't quite catch it, hence he asked again. “She has to leave.” “You know what, Eileen, enough!” He wagged his hand in an

Aidan's POVAt The Ackerman EstateA couple of weeks had passed since Jeremy’s final verdict, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, a worse punishment than the one labeled on his father. The City was in awe of the vile things that were published about how the family ran their businesses. People Jeremy had wronged, got their little bit of peace back and some money for compensation. Frederick Clayton was made to pay back the people who he wrongfully took money from the sum of 400 million dollars in total. It was a lot, even for Frederick. The authorities spared no time in bundling up their houses and taking them up as their own, leaving no stone unturned.The little left behind was given to Eileen and also surprisingly there was a trust fund with her mother's name which with the help of Aidan’s attorney, she was able to open and access for her art career.“Daddy…” Rachel exclaimed happily as she leaped out of Eileen’s side onto the bed where they both lay, while Erica sat in the vanit

Mallory’s POV “Ew. Ew! Ew!” She exclaimed as she jittered her heels across a puddle to enter the bus taking her to the prison where her mother was serving her sentence. Her mother had been leaving calls for her to come to see her, but she'd been ignoring them hoping they would go away because she didn't want to be associated with or even tied to her mother again. She finally went reluctantly when the mother told her there was something important that she needed to learn about a stack of money she kept in case of unforeseen circumstances. And being that she was flat broke, she picked up her bag and scurried to get to her mother just so she could claim the money.“Princess? Is this place too filthy for you?” One of the passengers asked as she cracked up at her.She jerked her jaw and scoffed as she found a free seat to sit down.“This is taken…” Another scooted to the free seat from the window side he sat at, frowning at her.“I don't understand…” She huffed a sigh. “How can this be t

Aidan’s POV A whole month had passed since he got Frederick and his cohorts arrested. Madam Doris was sent to jail to spend the next ten years of her pathetic life behind bars without the possibility of parole or even a retrial. Jeremy was still on trial, and this was the last day of his trial where he would be convicted of his numerous crimes. They were the most grotesque crimes ever. He was practically the enforcer of his father, no wonder the man always kept him on his side and without a leash because he carried out the most heinous crimes or got whoever would agree when he could not do it himself for him.Aidan had been going to court since their trial, not because it was necessary but to see the downfall on their faces when they were finally convicted. And boy! Did Frederick feel like he had lost a huge battle he thought he’d already won? He looked dejected like he had lost a fight with a grizzly bear he underestimated. His snares and glare did little to nothing to him as he was

Mr. Frank Cason narrowed his eyes and dropped the bottle of whiskey he had earlier opened without pouring himself a cup anymore. "And what gave you the impression they were shady? Huh?." He drawled. "I have warned you several times to stay out of my business, I married you from your wretched family, haven't I done enough already by marrying your ass" He scoffed harshly, picked up the whole bottle of whiskey, and took sips directly from it.His wife's spirit was already low coming into the office, but his words brought her lower. "I only said that because they scared me when they arrived unannounced. If you have such people coming in, at least inform me to better prepare for receiving them" Her voice broke at intervals as she spoke."Hahaha!...Haha." He laughed hoarsely. "You? inform you?"He looked at her and shook his head scornfully. "You must be in deja vu land to think I have to notify you before I receive people in my own house." His tone changed from condescending to fierce. "Wh

Immediately Alexander said that Mr. Graham grabbed the phone from his hand and inspected it to ascertain who the caller was but the number had been disconnected. He handed the phone to Lucas. “Take this to the tech team, the culprit will be out before you know it,” He said, handing the phone to his son.“No!” Reverberated Alexander. “That won't be necessary,” Alexander suddenly said, grabbing the phone, and surprising everyone.“Why don't you want the culprit apprehended,” Aunt Eleanor snorted and scoffed, shocked at him. “I kept mute when you decided to keep the truth of who roughed you up that led to you ending up in the hospital, this is beginning to piss me off” His Aunt spoke angrily. “She’s right Alexander, you can't keep bottling everything up, clearly, it's evident someone is adamant about hurting you, and who knows it might be…” Lucas was cut off by Alex's frustrated grunts. “Just stop! What makes you think it’s whoever landed me in the hospital.” He pinched the bridge of h

Mr. Jacob handed him a load of files containing dissimilarities during the short time Mr. Cason was the CEO. He was right, even if he weren’t returning, the files would go a long way in fighting a case for Alexander. The files were much needed by Alexander. He got into his car and drove straight to the office. Upon arrival, the office was filled with uproar upon his arrival with the staff having different opinions as to what was happening. Alexander was fazed with visible creases on his forehead. “Why is there uproar in my office when work is supposed to be ongoing? What the hell is the meaning of this pandemonium?” His voice is commanding and reverberating throughout the whole floor.His eyes were red hot, piercing into the souls of the whole staff. They kept mute upon hearing the authoritative tone. They hid their faces, bowing their heads avoiding Alexander's fierce gaze. Alexander stepped right to his office and matched right into his office lobby to meet his aunt and Lucas wait

"I need your help in finding a private detective." Lucas furrowed his face in shock. "Is this because of what we discussed in the car? Trust me Mr. Cason might be brutal but he isn't capable of anything other than empty threats." Alexander was indifferent to what Lucas said. "Just find me one"Lucas sighed heavily and just shook his head. He knew there was no point arguing. He wondered what Alexander needed with a private investigator. He knew he needed to talk with his dad.****The drive to the former secretary's house was serene and warm. Alexander had forwarded the details of the journey to his driver. He left early because the man lived in the countryside away from the buzzing city.The whole city's media has been buzzing on the knowledge of the lost son of Hugh. Alexander hissed as he perused his phone. Every tabloid had his pictures on their front pages carrying both false and true news about him.He sighed heavily and tossed the phone to the leather chair of the luxurious ca

She was flabbergasted at the sight of what was shown on TV. A boy she thought was nothing is now the most powerful man in the city. She was lost for some minutes until she recollected, picked up her jaw, and closed her mouth.She brushed her sweatshirt, grabbed the remote from her son, and put the TV off.She abruptly turned to her daughter. "It doesn't matter what he is and the power he has now. We did nothing to him, and he's still the same useless boy in my eyes" "Mom! You're joking, right? We did everything inhumanly possible to him. We ridiculed and don't forget, I rendered his company to the ground." Carla had beads of tears formed in her eyes. She suddenly felt remorseful for everything she did to Alexander.Her mom looked at her with disgust because of the tears she saw. "Better suck those tears back in because I don't see anything wrong in whatever we did. Besides, the business is booming more than ever and we still have Dawson's funds." Her mom said. She was nonchalant and

Carla's best friend Marie, was surprised that her date was bowing to Alexander. She was livid with him even though she had just seen Alexander on the TV a few seconds ago. She still believed that it was a lie or a ploy to get her precious friend Carla back."Why in the world would you bow to this commoner and call him Sir? He's not a God. He's just a useless person who couldn't give what his fiance wanted in life…" Marie's words trailed off because the man she came with snapped at her.He dragged her by her hand closer to himself. "You're gonna get me in trouble, Marie. That's my new boss. Remember that deal I have been telling you about that would pay for your vacation and your new house? It's all in his hands. Please I'm begging you, don't ruin this for me with your blabbermouth." The man owned a marketing agency and was in the works of striking a deal with Hugh's company to be the major advertising agency they had. But with the way things are going with Marie's abusive words, now
