Mallory’s pupils dilated, her brows raised in a snare, she couldn't believe her ears hearing that name come out of Jeremy’s mouth. Her heart rate began climbing up all over again as trepidation took over her. “So you do know who I'm talking about” He scoffed, seeing her sudden facial change in muscles.She averted her eyes abruptly, seeing the snare in his eyes. “It's funny how you guys lured my father into marrying that whore you call a sister…” He released the armchairs and paced about. “But what surprises me the most is how your stupid mother got my father to agree or even hide the fact that that thing you call a sister, had a child and was married before without him knowing”“Maybe you should ask your father that,” Mallory retorted subtly.He halted and placed his hand on his waist. “I see you still have a sharp mouth on you…” He drawled. “Maybe I should let him beat the smartness out of you” He waved his hand and the man sneered, making his way to her, to do his master’s biddin

After he had dropped Eileen off, Aidan decided to get down at a bar and just let loose since the day was coming to an end and he had ignored all and sundry. He drove about until he stopped at the bar. He needed to unwind. He met a long line of people waiting to get into the bar and decided to wait along the line just like everyone else.All of a sudden, the line parted for him with everyone grinning from ear to ear, making a way for him inside the bar/club.He was bewildered. Why would they do that? Confusion laced his eyes as he had no idea what was going on. One of the security, followed by a casually dressed man, wearing just a white tee and pants, approached him, adoring a powerful smile that could make you do whatever he ordered.“Welcome Sir Aidan. Thank you for gracing our little club. This way, my boss wants to see you” The man stretched his hand into this open path that was created by the people. Aidan was stumped. His brows drew together in perplexity as he had no idea who

Mallory’s POV After she had been abducted and forced by Jeremy to give up Rachel’s location–not that she was forced anyway, she decided that there wasn't a need to go back to her mother’s estate, but rather go to her husband's house or their house.Mallory had avoided Ethan like a plague ever since he lost his group to Aidan and became a mere employee. And to make it worse, he won't let go of it because he believes Aidan would give him the group back if he performs well. Utter and total rubbish. She had since lost face with her friends and was banned from their clubs and weekly meetings because of the disgrace her husband brought on them or so she likes to call it. She arrived at her house around evening time, not expecting to even see Ethan as he was now a lapdog to Aidan.“Welcome Ms. Mallory,” The maid said as soon as she opened the door. The look on her face was a surprise as she hadn't graced the house in weeks, not to mention showing up looking like she was in a fight that she

“And you chose ugly” Aidan’s voice was cold and hard as he walked closer to Crystal who was cowering at the back of her bodyguard.“Please kind Sir, I don't know how you were, I don't want ugly, please” She cupped her hands in a parking position and begged. They shook greatly alongside her legs. “Now I'm kind Sir” He taunted her. “Well, do you have 2 million dollars to pay for the bracelet you damaged?” “Daddy” She pointed her hand to her father. “He's rich, he can pay, he has money” She was quick to throw her father in the front. Anything to save her selfish self.“Well, Daddy? What are you waiting for? She said you have the means to reimburse us” The manager shifted her gaze to Kelvin Igor. Kelvin breathed heavily, his eyes fixed on Aidan hoping he would change his mind or maybe something lighter but his eyes were dark and gray and indifferent as he couldn't read out his emotions.“We don't have all day Sir,” Kelvin jerked as she shouted out for him to hear properly. He fiddled

“I'm not a child Cole, you don't have to rush into saving me like some damsel in distress” Aidan scolded him as the paramedics were done making sure none of his bones were broken, and it was all just bruises and scrapes.“Sir, you might not be, but your father would kill us if anything were to happen to you” Cole replied, gently pulling the door of the black Hummer EV pick-up truck they pulled up in open.Aidan sighed heavily with just a band-aid placed on the deepest cut on his left index finger and he pouted as he stepped into the car. His security spent a couple of minutes with the police before they too came into the car with his purchases, placing them beside Malcolm who sat on the passenger seat while only Aidan was in the back. He protested to them and demanded the purchases be put in the back with him but they refused and just said it was for his safety. He watched as his Bugatti Chiron was being pulled away by the tolling company and felt nothing for it. He caught a glance o
