Erica looked at her mother with disdain as she picked her bag from her seat and faced the door.“If you are so eager to have grandchildren to play with, accept Racheal. I will not give birth to another child just to satisfy your wants and needs. The earlier the better” she said and Madam Doris was pissed off again."What! Are you insane? How dare you speak like a fool! You are not ready to give birth to a child for your husband because of a mistake!” She yelled and immediately Erica looked back in fury.“Take that back mum, my child is never a mistake, and I will choose the time I want to give birth to another child, it is none of your business, you want a child faster, you either love Racheal like a grandmother should or tell that one who has refused to reproduce either by choice or by fate to find something doing."I am not interested in anything you have to say," Erica said scornfully. Madam Doris angrily banged the chair again in a fit over what her daughter just said. If only she

The car pulled over in front of a luxury building, it was a three-story building with a nice Italian restaurant on its first floor, and a bar on the second floor. The Casino was situated on the third floor, only elite members of the Emergande City had access to the Casino. Mr. Milton had to forewarn the head of the casino regarding Aiden's coming.Aiden and Mr. Milton walked into the building, leading towards the elevator, three men stood in front of the elevator waiting for it to open."I wonder what a loser like you could probably be doing here" One of the men said upon seeing him."But he's dressed up so clean, what store let you rent this?" The second one added sarcastically as he stretched out his hand to touch Aiden's clothes.In an instant, Aiden held his hand halfway mid-air twisting it backwards, completely taking the man off guard."Arghh!...""Release me this instant you God forsaken…" His words trailed off from the unbearable pain he felt. But Aiden didn't let him loose,

He took sips from his glass of bourbon and dropped the glass back on the table. He took the phone and perused the article news written under the headline."Find out about the guy he assaulted, the news said he pressed charges.""Yes Sir, you'll get feedback first thing tomorrow morning" Mr. Raymond stood and walked out of the study leaving him and his father.As soon as Mr. Raymond left, a knock was heard on the door, and upon entry showed Mr. Elijah–The butler."Your room is set, Sir," He said bowing his head to Aidan. Aidan turned to his father and raised a brow."I commanded a room be set up for you since this house is practically yours."He stood from his seat and walked close to Aidan. "This is your house as much as it's mine, so I made them prepare it for you" He got closer to him and patted him on his shoulders.Aidan shrugged, he had an easiness in his stomach. He had never been treated as such all his life and now life brought him a father when he needed it the most. He patted

Sir Frederick growled. "You deceived me, Doris…" His tone was stiff and gruff. "I selected your family because of the honor and dignity you possessed, but deceiving me this way…""Tsk…Tsk…" He sucked his teeth.Madam Doris was uneasy, she felt so uncomfortable in her seat, it felt like little pins were sticking out and piercing the shit out of her. She bowed her head from him to avoid his gaze. Even though she was scared of how he might react, it was better to let him deal with Aidan before he ruined her.Silence fell in the room and Frederick gritting and clenching his jaw could be heard until he talked finally."How could you let such a loser go scot-free to have so much power to threaten and blackmail you?" He strolled back to his cigar away from the window, picked up one, and lit it up.Madam Doris finally spoke up as the atmosphere in the room became stuffy–not because of the smoke from the cigar but because she was uneasy from Sir Frederick's aura."I'm sorry Sir, I thought he w

"Mom, are you okay? What happened?" Mallory asked as she stepped into her mother's bedroom, worry written all over her face. Madam Doris was lying on her bed with the doctor sitting beside her and checking her blood pressure. The lawyer stood on the balcony entrance leading out of the bedroom.Mallory rushed to her mother's side and held her arm caressing it. "You shouldn't exert yourself so much Mom, you're a doctor, you should know this better than anyone…" Mallory was talking with concern but her Mom wasn't ready for that when she cut her sentence short and wriggled her hand from her daughter's grip.She snorted and scowled at her. "Why won't I exert myself when your husband is hell-bent on ruining me? Look at him" She shifted her gaze from Mallory to Ethan who had stopped at the door entrance like some criminal who was caught red-handed. "He's been on the news these past days and not for good reasons"She turned her stare back at Mallory. "My name has been so tainted that I lost
