Aiden's Heroic Comeback Chapter 2
"What am I doing here, or why are you following me? Is this what our relationship is about? So now you don't trust me, but you choose to stalk me." Alice fired back trying to sound innocent without seeming embarrassed."What the hell are you talking about? I'm here for a client and now I find you in the same place on this…" he pointed at the towel."Why I'm here, and what I came here for is none of your business Aiden, if you truly value what we have, then you wouldn't stalk me."Aiden was dumbstruck, he wasn't a toddler who could be fooled, seeing Alice in a towel in another man's house meant nothing more than she cheated on him. His heart melted."Why did you come here Aiden? Why are you stalking me?" Alice fired again."He did not follow you here babe," Jason chuckled aloud from behind, walking towards the door. "I sent him here on purpose to see how I can have my way with his so-called girlfriend," he continued, the smirk never leaving his face. "So, how does it feel to drive a m

It took Aiden a few minutes to stare at the untraceable alert of a hundred million dollars. He kept trying hard to connect the dots as to who must have sent the money.However, he knew no one who could give him such a huge amount of money. He had not done any job as well to require such a humongous remuneration.Then all of a sudden, while he was still wallowing in his myriad of thoughts, he heard his phone chime, bringing him out of his reverie.A glance at the screen, it did turn out to be an unknown number. He was a bit hesitant to pick, but he later concluded that it might probably answer the questions he had at the moment. He finally slid the answer button and pressed the phone to his ear."Am I on to Aiden Cox?" The masculine voice from the other end stated."This … Is he speaking? May I know you?" Aiden raised a brow confused, trying hard not to stutter."You can call me Brandy. I believed you received the money, and I am also obliged to tell you, Mr Cox, that you've inherited

"Please help me out here," he pleaded, looking past her rudeness. "I have an appointment with the general manager in a few minutes," he added. The woman shifted from him before she turned to look at him disdainfully from his head to his toe before she spoke to him. "Did you even have a bath this morning?" She asked, her nose scrunched in disgust, leaving him confused. "You stink!" She spat without waiting for him to say anything. "You do not look like you should be in here in the first place, and I blame the security men for letting such a haggard looking and obviously homeless riffraff into this building," she said."I am not lying. He requested to see me," he said. She let out a scornful laughter. "If there is anyone who is more aware of the rules here, it is our boss, so if he did not issue you a pass card," she waved hers in front of his face. "Then that means that you are not supposed to be here.""He called me, I promise you. I am not lying," he was persistent. "Then why do

Aiden nodded immediately. "Oh my goodness, I am so sorry sir," he said at the sudden recognition, taking the secretary by surprise. "My apologies, Mr Cox. If I knew that you were around, I would have come downstairs myself. Please come in sir," he said as he let Aiden in. Aiden looked at the secretary and smirked before he got in. “W..wait, sir. He..” She wanted to say something but finally swallowed it.Brandy was such a tough boss, but here he was apologizing to a man who was in a mere T-shirt. “I’m…I'm sorry, as well.” Her face was pale.“Could you leave us now?” He shrugged. It’s interesting to see people change their face in the blink of an eye.He turned to Brandy. "Please what happened to your phone Mr Brandy? Why couldn’t I reach you?”“Oh, boss, please, call me Brandy. For you, it's simply Brandy. And for my phone, It’s h…ere.” He quickly searched for it, bringing it out totally dead.Aiden sighed slightly. He knew he had an appointment today, shy would he allow his pho
Aiden's Heroic Comeback Chapter 6
“Are you kidding me?!”Aiden was stunned at the stipulation that his relative, President Maxwell had arranged for him. He had heard of arranged marriages and how it was peculiar to the wealthy in the society. However, he never thought that it would apply to him at all in his life."President Maxwell is dead, and I should be allowed to choose whom I want to get married to, even if that's the clause to the inheritance." married to her?" Aiden looked pointedly from Dakota to Brandy."That is the instruction in the will," Dakota stated curtly. Aiden stood up from where he sat and paced about the office.All his life, he had struggled for everything that he wanted. At this time, when he had the opportunity to bask in the abundance of wealth he did not have to struggle for, there was a condition attached. He could not help but believe that life had been unfair to him in so many ways. "Why do I have to marry this girl in particular?" He asked them. Brandy looked at Dakota as though he

Aiden chuckled wryly as he did not think that the plan was going to work. "You think that's really going to work? You think she would come down from her high horse to be with a pauper?" "That is why this stipulation was made. It is to test her to know if she would eventually love you for who you are and not because of the money." Fraustatedly, Aiden bowed his head. He couldn't see any other way to impress a lady other than the use of money.Alice's relationship with him and her betrayal had made him think that way."Don't worry about that part because all the necessary arrangements have been made, and she will marry you regardless," Dakota reassured. "If you say so, then I have no option but to agree with you," Aiden finally caved in. After the final agreements and signing of documents, Brandy took out an envelope and handed it over to Aiden. He looked at Brandy suspiciously as he took it and opened it up. He had received enough surprise for a lifetime in the last twenty-four ho

The receptionist froze at the sudden recognition and broke into a smile before she turned around.None of them knew when Brandy had stepped out of the elevator as they were all busy with their argument."I'm sorry for letting this lunatic into the building sir, and I promise to call the police on him immediately,""How dare you call the president of the Cox consortium, and the chairman of this company a lunatic?!" Brandy raised his eyebrow.“P..president?”The tables had turned so quickly and she did not expect this sort of revelation.She looked at Aiden who had the most ridiculous look on his face."I'm sorry sir, and I promise that it is not going to happen again," Brandy apologized again."Now you," he said firmly now, turning to the receptionist. "I want you to clear your desk immediately because you are immediately suspended indefinitely," he scolded."Mr Brandy, there would be no need for that," Aiden interjected quickly. "Let's assume that she was just doing her job, but witho

“Wow, you should have brought that earlier, sir," the rude bank teller said as he walked up to Aiden with a sudden smile. He tossed the silver card back to Micheal as he moved without looking back."Are you saying that you will regard me only because I have a diamond bank card?" Aiden asked, after he was approached by the teller."Of course not," he replied, his voice climbing to an octave. "Sir, I will make your transaction swift and fast, please let me have your card.""So you do have a way of treating top clients, especially in the queue, right?""That's the rules sir. Our top customers are a priority," the bank teller wanted to put up a defense. "They have a special room where they are attended to, but if they choose to be in the queue, they must be treated like other customers," Aiden stated. The bank teller was surprised that he knew so much about the bank rules, and he was embarrassed to the core. Aiden then turned to the female bank teller who had been polite to him and s

They continued with their meal and were still involved in their little argument when the restaurant door slid open. The restaurant was soon filled with noisy chatters as some boys walked in. Aiden was the first to look up, and he could not believe his eyes when he saw Jason and Melvin. He would have picked up his bag and slid out of the restaurant immediately, but Melvin had seen him already. Melvin was surprised to see him among so many girls as he did not think that Aiden was one to have the attention of all the ladies he was sitting with. He was particularly annoyed, because May, the most beautiful girl in college, was seated with him. All the guys admired her, and she was the cynosure of all eyes. Even her fellow female students thought that she was breathtaking. For the longest time, he had been trying to ask her to be his girlfriend, but she had refused all his advances and gestures. She even went ahead to call him a jerk. He had not given up so easily. He had even bought he

The board members still sat in the boardroom as they thought about what had just happened. They could not believe that they were almost on the verge of losing their jobs. Even President Maxwell had never threatened them with their jobs before. They knew that their new chairman, despite being a young boy, was going to be dangerous as well.“I think we all need to come up with a solution to salvage this situation because our new boss is not one to take any nonsense,” Mr. Adams, who was the most outspoken man among them, decided to break the ice after the long silence. “There is nothing to do here, but for us to sit up, and start putting in our best for this company,” Mr Henry, a stout man in his mid-fifties, said. “I agree with you,” Mrs Floyd, a rather attractive woman for the age of fifty-two, concurred. “I mean, we have been working in this company for so many years, receiving fat salaries, but have been doing the least work. This should be an eye-opener for us to under that we oug

Brandy went silent immediately at his request. Dakota was with him as well, and they did not seem to understand why he would want to take such a drastic measure against those companies. “Are you sure about this sir?” Brandy asked him and Dakota was listening as well. “The immediate action that you are requesting will ruin a lot of things for them.”“I don't care,” Aiden said ruthlessly. “As long as no life is going to be lost in this process, I want you to do all that you can to ensure that they are ruined. I want them to begin to beg for survival, and I want it to be done immediately,” he insisted. “If this is about something that they did, we can fix it without having to go this far,” Dakota chipped in. “Brandy,” Aiden called out. “You have never questioned me since you started working for me, so don't start now.”“Your wish is my command,” Brandy finally said. “Good. Now, arrange for the board of directors meeting, and send me that driver so that I can be there in fifteen minut

Aiden was not too enthusiastic to go to school the next day because of all the judgments that he had been receiving lately. He wished he could just stay home and be in bed all day, but he needed the degree to rub his company better. As he stepped down from the cab, an unfamiliar voice hollered at him. He turned around immediately to see who it was, and it was as though his gloomy day was brightened up in a second. He had never seen anyone as beautiful as the girl who was waving at him right now. She was fair with delicate facial features that looked like she was created on a special day. Her hair ran in long full waves that settled below her waist and she had a curvy frame that was outlined by the small dress that she wore. He stopped walking and waited for her to walk towards him. She had some books on the crook of her arm, and when she walked, her hair bounced behind her, making her movement beautiful to watch. He had not seen her before around campus and he wondered if she was a

“See who we have here,” Aiden said with a fake hand clap as he looked at the manager who was standing before him in shock. “You called me a thief and ordered for me to be thrown out of your mall, right? But here you are, running an errand that you could have easily asked one of your staff to carry out,” he continued. “I am very sorry for what happened back then. I was just trying to be very careful of thieves,” the manager said. “That does not give you the right to judge a book by its cover,” Aiden insisted. The manager did not know what to do anymore to appease Aiden. He knew that if he secured Aiden, the CEO of Vuitton Co, his business would hit the roof. He fell to his knees immediately and clasped his hands together in a kind of submission. “What are you doing?” Aiden asked him, taken by surprise. “I know that I have offended you, but please, don't let my offense stop you from doing business with me,” the manager pleaded. Aiden looked at him intently for a while, as though h

By the next day in school, everyone already knew about the lottery that Aiden won as the news spread like wildfire. As usual, everyone had their opinion about how he spent the money. Some of the students, mostly those who have benefited from the scholarship scheme in the past commended him for his efforts and sacrifice. However, other students thought that it was foolish of him to donate all his money to charity. As Aiden stepped into the school that morning, all eyes were on him. Some looked at him with admiration, while others looked at him with disgust. He decided that he was not going to pay any attention to anyone and just move on with his business of the day. Before he could enter the lecture hall, Helen, the departmental head of the students' board summoned him into their meeting. Helen had been of help to him in the past. As the departmental head, she was responsible for the welfare of the students in the department. She mostly helped those students who were charity cases

Suddenly, almost all the students gathered around the scene, but Aiden did not move a muscle. As usual, Melvin and Jason saw a body of students and decided to insert themselves in the mix. They had been looking for a perfect opportunity to get back at Aiden after the embarrassment from the previous night and this looked like the perfect opportunity. "What did you do to her?" Melvin asked him first, dragging him by the collar, but Aiden did not move a muscle. "Nothing," he replied casually as he pulled Melvin's hand away. "How dare you touch my girlfriend?" Jason thundered as he advanced menacingly towards Aiden. He was about to punch him, but his hand was held in the air. Aiden and Jason turned to see Ms Donna, their philosophy professor. "What are you doing trying to hit a student?" She asked Jason sternly as she forcefully let go of his hand. "He just harassed a female student," Jason blurted out. "I believe the right thing to do here is to report to the school authority ins

Aiden was taken aback by her guts as he could not believe that she would ask him that after what she did. "I believe that it is none of your business," he said quietly as he started to walk out of the store room. "If you walk out of that door, I promise you, I will raise a false rape alarm, and you know that they are likely to believe a beautiful innocent girl than a nerd that could be a pervert," she said to him as a means to make him stay. He took a deep breath as he stood before the door. He then took out his phone quietly and opened his sound recorder before he turned around. He knew how much of a sneaky person she was. If she threatened him that way, she was sure to do what she had said. He was not ready for any of her shenanigans at all, so he decided to comply, but with an option to redeem himself. "What do you want to know?" He asked her in a feigned defeated tone. She smirked before she spoke. "I want to know how you came about the ridiculous amount of money you have be

As Aiden got into the hall, the rest of the students turned to stare at him. They knew that he was one of those less privileged students who stayed away from such events because they could not afford it. When they began to point fingers at him and laugh, he began to feel embarrassed, but he bore in mind that he did not have to feel inferior to any of them. "I see that you succeeded in borrowing a suit for this occasion," Jason began as he walked up to him, holding Alice to his side. She was dressed in a beautiful red dress that accentuated her curves. She looked very elegant but he did not stare at her for a second time. Aiden did not say anything to Jason but kept his cool. Even though the other students scorned him, he knew that it was better that way than to engage in any banter with Jason at this time. The event soon started and everyone looked up to the podium where the principal of the school was presenting a speech. When he was done, there was a thunderous roar of applause
