Aidan’s POV Aidan had walked in on his father interrogating Erica and he wasn't having it. He was called and informed by Sadie that his father was at the penthouse and he immediately knew what the next thing was and what he would be doing to her. And getting there, his father didn't disappoint him.He was still at the suite, just having a normal discussion after excusing Erica to the room when he received a call from a strange number. At first, he ignored the call but upon further calls from this number, he decided to pick it up.“It's me, Eileen,” She said weakly over the phone.Aidan was taken aback by who it was. He instantly felt an uneasiness that churned and tired his stomach into knots as she just left the hotel a couple of hours away. Dread washed over him at first as he thought something terrible must have happened to her.“What happened? Where are you?” He asked in genuine concern as he paced about the floor of the suite.His father furrowed his brows in confusion and anxie

The news of Frederick Clayton’s arrest spread through the City like wildfire, coupled with his video of making plans to kill Aidan. Before anyone knew what was happening, his office building was filled up with reporters and the media house, trying and fighting hard to get a first glimpse at the Monarch of the City in handcuffs once he'd been led out of the office.A cunning smirk laced his thinned lips as he glared at Eileen and Aidan, feeling fulfilled that he still had a jump on him even in handcuffs.“Your mother was the bane of my existence, right from the very day she was born, she took my mother from me. I should have smothered her in her sleep but instead, I let her grow into a woman and that's the mistake I made” He giggled bitterly.“I could have thrown you out but your father invested in my company hugely then, so the agreement was I took you in and raised you as mine so I don't lose my investment but I shouldn't have agreed” He spat at Eileen and sneered at her. “I should h

“Bite me!” He said through drool and gritted teeth. Aidan didn't even let the words come out fully from his mouth when he replaced them with two blows. “Pow!” “Pow!” Zayed wobbled his head around as blood spilled from the cut on his nose, resulting from a broken cartilage. Aidan gripped his collars tightly, as drips of blood dotted on them. He angled his hand backward, his fist balled tightly, ready to deal another blow to him.“Wait!” He yelled out. “I know where he is” He paused and spat out the stained drool in his mouth. He looked him dead in his gray cold eyes laughing. “Do whatever you want, you’ll never get it out of me.” “But nothing will make it come out of my mouth” He sneered and started laughing again. Aidan was so peeved that he moved back, for some seconds before diving and gripping his neck tighter. He lowered his head to his ears. “Keep it, savor it but one thing, you’ll soon join your counterparts in rotting in jail” He snickered. He brought his eyes to his an

“Bang!” A loud sound was heard through the commotion that was already happening. The police and Aidan’s security busted into the underground club. Now, Aidan had sent a message to Malcolm, showing him the route and the specific way to open the door once the police arrived. He didn't even think they would come in at such an early time.The whole space was filled with the smoke that resulted from the forced entry. Aidan looked over and saw that Zayed was holding the gun at the mouth opening as it was pointed directly at him by Jeremy. He looked closely and saw that he had prevented the shot from getting to him by using his body as a shield. So he took the bullet that was meant for him. He grunted and staggered back, slyly collecting the gun from Jeremy as he fell on Aidan’s hands. “I'm crazy, right?” He asked weakly as he slouched on him, his blood spurting from his mouth. He was still grinning as he held onto his hand.Jeremy on the other hand, was already on the floor, pinned tight

“Your pathetic life is over either way” He giggled softly. “You can't harm me, you won't see your daughter if you do” He blurted through closed teeth. What he just said irritated Aidan and raised his fury to the highest levels. He threw the empty gun to a far corner before dashing for the guy. He pulled him up as Cole removed the knees he used in pressing him down. Aidan pulled the guy up in a swift and banged him against the nearest wall, his head hitting the hardwood wall. Aidan fumed and breathed hot on him. Anger is evident in his face. He furrowed his brows as he glared daggers into his ruined heart.“Bold of you to think you're in a position to make demands.” He said wickedly, he saw Cole through the corners of his eyes and signaled to him to search the house, and he went right to it.He threw the young man away indignantly like he was a piece of paper, gliding through the air. The guy hit his back on furniture on his way down and coiled on the floor as he groaned and winced
