Deris my dear we both made a deal, i will never look for them and my part of the deal was that if our son crosses twenty four years he must return to Guildford we're he belonged then Rafael, Roberts son will handle the rest, because our son is not aware of who he is anymore, " Ares said the last part with a little bit of sadness on his voice".
Wait a minute Ares, Aria interrupted drawing everyone's attention. Aria is the third female member in Ares council, outside Deris, and Sienna who is currently absent, Aria, Sienna and Armstrong are the youngest members in Ares executives. Aria continued " Ares since I just became twenty four and since his a few years older than me, that means that he has already passed twenty four and if he has already passed twenty four, according to what you've just said, that means that they are already in Guildford now". immediately Aria finished saying her observation, everyone else thought what she said made sense. you are right Aria," Deris said hoping that what she said is true that her son is here but suddenly she remembered something and faced Ares" . But Ares since what she said is the truth then why didn't you bring them home since, he was already twenty four, two years ago but still he's not here with us, neither is Rafael, Roberts son. Rafael still knows who he is compared to our son, so why have Rafael not brought him home to where he belongs?, Deris asked with tears threatening to fall from her eyes. She really misses her son and Rafeal so much it's been ten years since the incident happened. Ares drew Deris into his embrace and patted her back and looked at Robert "I promise you Robert our sons will return, you will see your son again". Robert smiled and responded '' I believe and trust you Ares". Deris calmed downed and returned to her seat. Ares cleared his throat and continue" the reason why i didn't look for them after they returned to Guildford is that i wanted them to feel how Guildford is especially my son since he has no idea of this country anymore". Ares sighed and continued " i don't just want them to return and just like that tell them who they are and what happened that made us gave them away", i wanted them to feel how Guildford is after ten years and it seems that Rafael understood and cooperated. immediately he said that he stood up and placed his hands on the giant table and faced his council `` now i think they have observed Guildford enough , it's time to come home to where they belong. Smiles appeared on everyone's faces immediately they heard what Ares said. their heir will be home soon and they were all excited. Ares sat down at his seat and gave his orders `` Armstrong, from now on you have the responsibility of finding out the identity of George's son, and James you have to the responsibility to bring our boys home. Armstrong and James nodded, understanding the task assigned to them. "We will soon have a big reason to celebrate, our boys will soon be back !," Ares shouted, tossing his glass cup filled with wine up, the rest raised their cup up and joined him, after some minutes, they all departed leaving only Ares and Robert behind. Ares stood up from his seat and immediately he stood up Robert also stood up he. He walked to where Robert was standing and handed him a two photos. Ares smiled " these are the photos of our boys". Robert looked at the photos and placed his hand on his son's photo with a smile. it's been ten years since he saw his son, indeed his son has grown to be a man. " Thank you Ares" he said with sincerity. Ares nodded and instructed him to give the photos to James and lyter too, with that they departed. Inside the very big and beautiful mansion a young beautiful lady wearing a black skirt and a blue blouse and a black jacket with her hair packed in a ponytail giving an aura of a business personnel was arguing with a man a little bit older than her and he looked furious. I can't believe that grandfather gave you the responsibility of handling and sealing the deal Stephanie" Piston complained". Stephanie and Piston are cousins but they are always on each other's throats. Stephanie was already getting irritated with Piston constant nagging" look Piston it was grandfather's decision so if you have any problem report it to him and leave me alone". Piston became even more annoyed after hearing her," Stephanie this is a very big deal and am supposed to be the one in charge of it but you took that opportunity away from me". Stephanie gave him a glare" how can you say that i took the opportunity away from you piston". You and I know that I am well capable of sealing this deal and I don't know why you have a problem with me handling this deal. Piston was already burning with anger" Look Stephanie, you will go and meet grandfather and tell him that you don't want to be in charge of the deal anymore alright". Stephanie was surprised to hear what Piston just said, how can she tell her grandfather such a thing after trusting her to handle it" I will never do that piston and am going to prove you wrong just wait and see I will seal the deal. With that she left, leaving Piston standing there alone". The deal is to be finalized in three days time and if the deal pulls through it will be a big profit to the company and his grandfather won't stop praising Stephanie for her hard work and piston just can't let that happen. Piston smirked when he thought of a plan" how will you seal the deal when you won't even be there he thought and left". Piston left to look for his Grandfather to confront him and found him in his studies. In the Studies a figure of an old man in his early seventy but he still looks energetic could be seen checking out some documents he was so engrossed in his work until Piston drew his attention " Grandfather please I want to speak with you, it's concerning Stephanie". Lawrence turned and looked at piston with no emotion written on his face '' Speak i'm listening". Piston continued" do you really think Stephanie can handle this Deal, what am trying to say is that recently she has been hooking up with some guy". Lawrence raised his brow" what do you mean Piston?, are trying to say your cousin can't be in a relationship or what?. Piston shook his head in denial "Please don't get me wrong Grandfather, what I meant was that since we have a big Deal to Seal, I don't want her personal relationship to come in the way of the business Deal". Lawrence just stared at Piston" Don't worry Piston I trust Stephanie she won't involve her personal relationship with work, and you can assist her in finalizing the Deal". Piston was really furious to hear that he would be assisting Stephanie but he dared not show his anger" alright Grandfather, he said and turned around and started leaving". Immediately Lawrence saw Piston leaving he picked up his phone and dialed a number and a smile appeared on Piston face knowing that the first step to his plan just worked.It was finally Stacy's birthday and Aiden was really happy thinking about his proposal to Stacy. He has already dressed up Putting on a blue suit with a white shirt looking really handsome. He was lost in thought thinking about what Stacy's reaction would be , though she would be surprised to see him because he promised to come in the evening and not in the morning. Ethan's voice pulled him out of his thoughts" look man am not really happy with the fact that you forced me to take a day off to accompany you to propose to Stacy". "Me too Aiden, why should we accompany you when you are the only one proposing?"Emily asked feeling slightly annoyed. Aiden sighed and looked at her" Emily you guys need to be there for me. I have never proposed to a girl before. Please, I need all your support. Look at my suit. I spent a lot of money on it, even the preparation. "Fine, Aiden am going with you if that is what you want" Emily agreed. Aiden smiled and faced Ethan waiting for his response.
"what are you talking about Stacy?, you were the one who told me that you were pregnant with our baby" Aiden questioned her. Stacy's mind was in choas. She looked at Jaden for help but it's seems even him was waiting for her explanation. She knew that at this point she had to lie to save her chances of been with Jaden. She faked a cry" what are you saying Aiden when did i ever say that ?, Jaden is the only man in my life. Why are you trying to ruin my life?", she asked. I know you told me that you love me the day you brought a package for me but I clearly told you that I don't like you and I have a boyfriend. Aiden was dumbfounded. What did Stacy just say, why is she lying?. He has never pressured Stacy to do anything against her will, she accepted to date him willingly. Wait what if what Gary told him about Stacy was actually true. Has Stacy been playing him all this while?. Jaden yell! brought him out of his thoughts. Throw this people out of here I don't want to see any of the
Aiden was drinking his last bottle of alcohol. Since he arrived at this bar he has received numerous messages from Emily and Ethan showing how worried they are, he had to message them back to assure them that's his okay and that he will be fine. He just finished the last bottle and was about to stand up when something hit his head and he started feeling dizzy. He could feel that he was being carried by someone but he was too drunk to do anything. Slowly his sight became blurry then everything went blank. Piston smiled facing seeing the drunk man in front of him.’’ Good job ‘Mark’ I will take it from here now, you can leave’’ he said, giving him a bundle of cash. Mark happily accepted the money’’ if you encounter any problem just call me , he said and left’’ Piston carried Aiden and sat him down on a chair and quickly injected something into his body. After he was done injecting him he carried him and Stephanie's room and threw him on the floor , he opened the door with the spare k
Stephanie was so frightened. Never in her life has she seen her Grandfather looked at her with so much anger and disappointment” Grandfather I can explain it's not what you think”, she said trying to explain. Lawrence stared at his Granddaughter with disappointment. When it was time for the Business meeting he was surprised when he saw that she had not arrived because he knows that she does not joke with anything concerning the company. She has been planning for this Deal for a long time so he knows that there is no way she's going to blow it away. Luckily Piston came back on time from the trip he took to Italy to handle the deal, if not they would have lost the deal. When she didn't return yesterday he was so scared that something had happened to her, even her parents were worried. No one knew the Hotel she was in and she was not picking her calls. When he finally got the name of the Hotel she lodged at, He immediately called and was informed that Stephanie has not stepped out of h
After Stephanie got home she was scolded by her mom and Dad, they were very disappointed with her especially her mom” What have you done Stephanie! ?”, Gorgina asked, shouting. Stephanie started crying” Am sorry Mom, i don't know how it happened, she responded while crying. She faced her Dad '' please dad believe me, i don't know how it happened. I will never do something like that, she said to her dad”. Tears continued to run down her cheeks when her father gave her a look that shows that he was very disappointed in her. Jeffery looked at his daughter with disappointment. He could not believe it when Piston told him what happened, he has always known Stephanie to be dedicated to the business so missing the meeting for a very important project was just unbelievable. Piston was just watching everything that was happening. He felt delighted that his plan was working, though he felt a little bit guilty that Stephanie had a one night stand with a stranger but that did not stop him from
Aiden was flabbergasted to hear what the man had just said” What did you just say?”, he asked. Maria sighed and looked at him” Aiden there is something you need to know, she said in a low voice while avoiding his eyes. Aiden was getting inpatient” What is going on Mom and who is this man? he asked, looking at the man. His Ethan’s father, she responded. “What are you talking about? Ethan's father is dead,” he explained. What's going on? I don't…. He could not finish his statement because Maria interrupted him. I and Don are not your biological parents Aiden, she said in a low voice with moist eyes. Aiden felt weak in the knees, this was too much for him to handle. Ethan patted his shoulder” It's true man you are Ares's son, the heir of his empire”, he said. Aiden faced him” You were aware of my real identity all this while and you didn't tell me!” he yelled while clenching his fist. Ethan sighed” am sorry bro, we did that to protect you from George, “he said in a low voice. “
Aiden was seated in the car lost in thought. He was thinking of the new life he was about to face, he just can’t believe that the Almighty Ares was his father. He thought of his Biological Mother and had a mixed feeling, some part of him was excited to meet her while another part of him was feeling strange. He has always known Maria to be his Mother, though he can not remember the early stage of his life but he wishes that he still shares a bond with her. Aiden was still lost in thought when the Car’s engine ignition stopped, signifying that they had gotten to their destination. Ethan came back from the Car and went to open the Door for Aiden. It was after the door was open that he came back to his senses. Ethan smiled when Aiden came down from the Car” Welcome home Boss”, he said and bowed his head. “Boss' ' Aiden repeated the word and it sounded strange to his hearing. He has never been someone's Boss before for as long as he can remember, and now his best friend is calling
“Wha..t!” Aiden stammered and looked at his Mother to tell him that it’s not true.”But how is that actually possible, why would I shoot Sofia?” He asked. Ares looked at him” Well Aiden, me and your mom did not know that you secretly followed us to that isolated warehouse that day, it was not only you though both Rafael and Armstrong followed you”. Aiden looked at Ethan, who nodded his head confirming what his father said. He also looked at Armstrong who just smiled at him. He sighed '' Why did I shoot her?I know that I can't just shoot anyone without a valid reason” He said. Deris looked at him and held his hand and smiled” We know Aiden, you are not irresponsible and reckless, you shot Sofia because she was aiming to shoot at me with a sniper from inside the warehouse .” She caressed his hand and kissed it.”If not for you my son I would have been dead.” She said, looking at him with tenderness. Ares smiled seeing his wife and his son together again, he looked at his son” What yo
Aiden arrived home and went straight to his parents chamber. Upon seeing him, his father's guard alerted him.He went inside their room when his father gave him permission.“ Aiden, why do you want to meet us?” Maverick asked.Deris kissed Aiden cheek and smiled” You looked stressed son, is anything the problem?”.Aiden smiled and kissed her forehead. No matter what, his mother always sees his worry.Maverick drew his wife away from his son” Why are you treating him like a baby, when last did you kiss me like that?” He complained, not hiding his jealousy.Aiden chuckled seeing his father's reaction. He really loves his mother a lot. He wished he would find someone he loved.Deris smiled and kissed Maverick cheek” are you happy now?”. Maverick smiled.Aiden cleared his throat to draw their attention” Dad, mom. I want to tell you guys something important.“ We are listening, Aiden” Maverick said.Aiden robbed his hands nervously '' Well I want to let you know that i am getting married t
Aiden arrived at Hush, and immediately went to meet the Manager.” Mr Ben, you asked me to come here. Who wants to meet me”.Mr Ben, smiled seeing him” Aiden, come with me to the VIP section and see them”He said and led the way.Aiden followed him without asking any more questions. After some minutes, they arrived at the VIP section.When they got inside, Aiden could see the three men backing them, sitting on the chair neatly arranged.Him and the manager walked and stood at the front of those men. Aiden immediately recognized two of them.Mr Ben smiled, seeing Lawrence” Mr Lawrence, his here. I will leave you all now.Lawrence showed no sign of emotion and just nodded his head. Mr Ben smiled and left.He thought after that night, he was not going to see them again. He still remembered the way Piston punched him on the face, for what was not entirely his fault.“ What are you guys doing here?” he asked with curiosity.Piston stood up from his seat and glared at him” Do you know how ma
Lauren shook her head seeing Roland leaving. She looked at Aiden and smiled'' let's go '' she said. Aiden collected his card from the manager and together they left, while two sales personnel packaged the dress. When they got outside the boutique, the sales personnel dropped the dress inside Lauren's car and left. After they left, Lauren folded her hands across her chest and looked at Aiden, waiting for an explanation. '' What is the matter Lauren? '' Aiden asked. '' Seriously Aiden, are you asking what the matter is ?. I know the kind of work you do can't fetch you fifty million dollars, where did you get the money from? '' she asked with curiosity. Aiden sighed'' Well I don't work at the Hotel anymore, I was fired, but I got a new job at a company as the General Manager. And concerning the money, it actually does not belong to me, but you don't have to worry because I am going to pay it back '' he had to lie about the last statement. '' You fool !How can you use someo
Lauren stared at Aiden in shock, she knows the kind of work he does, though she doesn’t know that he was fired. They was no reason for him to compete with Roland, even when he knows that his not capable of purchasing the dress. She held his arm and looked at him” Aiden, what are you doing?, you don’t have to bid for the dress with Roland. Let’s leave here” she whispered to him and drew his hand for them to leave, but he didn’t bulge. Aiden held her hand and drew her close to himself and smiled at her” Trust me Lauren, all you have to do is trust me okay.” Lauren sighed, she didn’t know what to do. She doesn't like Roland and was ready to leave with Aiden, she was really happy to see Aiden. and She has always known him as a considerate person so if he wants to bid against Roland, it means he has a plan. So if he asked her to trust him, she’s going to trust him. She smiled at him” Alright Aiden i will trust you.” Aiden smiled back at her. Roland could not believe that Lauren would s
Piston was going crazy over finding Aiden. He has gone to the address that was given to him, but he did not find anyone there, and also his number is not reachable. He sighed in frustration and called Collins, His grandfather personal Body Guide. Both of them were assigned to find him. He would have acted cunningly and made sure that they would not find Aiden, but his grandfather involved Collins, so he can't play dirty. When Collins picked the call, he stood up from his seat in his office “ Collins, has he returned home?. This is the second day and the wedding is scheduled for tomorrow, and Grandpa will have our heads if we don't find him”. ''You don't have to worry sir Piston, his former manager from the Hotel called and said he might be able to get to him through his friends who also worked at the Hotel, so am waiting for his feedback '' Collins explained. Piston smiled'' That is a very good .Make sure he gets it done, I will talk to you later in the day because am busy in the
Mia went inside Stephanie’s room after she was done with cooking, she observed her for sometime and sighed. She could see the hickeys on her skin. She knows that Stephanie has always been busy with work to have a man in her life. She looked at the hickeys again and wondered which man was responsible for it” Could it be Jasper '' she thought. She shook her head discarding the thought, Stephanie does not like Jasper to the point of being intimate with him. At this point, she could not think of anybody. She could not wait for Stephanie to wake up, so she could ask her. She sat down on the couch and started scrolling through her phone, after some minutes, she fell asleep on the couch. After about thirty minutes, Stephanie woke up. She rubbed her eyes like a kitten and yawned lightly. She came down from the bed and her eyes caught sight of Mia sleeping on the couch, she was surprised to see her in her room. “Mia” she called and went to tap her. Mia slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes
After Stephabie fainted, her mom rushed to her aid” Stephanie are you ok?, please talk to me. Jeffery, call Mia!” she yelled. Jeffery immediately dialed Mia’s number, she is Stephanie's best friend and also her personal doctor. Immediately he dialed the number, she picked the call and he informed her about what happened, she responded that she will be there shortly. Lawrence looked at Stephanie lying on the bed in her room still unconscious while waiting for Mia’s arrival. He was really worried about her. Georgina was worried, she was pacing around the room, then she stopped and walked to where her Dad was standing” Father, I really don't understand what you said back there. What do you mean by she will be marrying that stranger, the same man who took advantage of her” she said, raising her voice. “ How can you say such a thing Georgina?, you should be hoping for our daughter to be fine and not this” Jeffery retorted. Just as Georgina was about to respond to his comment, Lawrence
Inside the mansion, Lawrence was in his studies sitting on the chair while looking at some photos. He sighed and placed the photo on the table and caressed his head. While caressing his head, someone knocked on the door. “Come in” He said in a firm voice, shortly after, Piston walked inside and stood close to the table. Lawrence looked at him and gestured for him to sit down. Piston sat down and looked at his grandfather” Grandfather, about the man we met with Stephanie yesterday, you asked me to find out more about him. His name is Aiden Dun Donald. I found out that he works in Hush HOTEL as a Waiter and also as a Delivery boy in a fast food restaurant. Lawrence looked at Piston in disbelief, he could not believe Stephanie would miss a business deal for a Waiter.” Stephanie is impossible, how could she do such a thing?”He asked. He wanted to say something else when the door opened and Jeffery walked in. “You called me, father, '' he said while sitting down. Lawrence nodded his hea
“Wha..t!” Aiden stammered and looked at his Mother to tell him that it’s not true.”But how is that actually possible, why would I shoot Sofia?” He asked. Ares looked at him” Well Aiden, me and your mom did not know that you secretly followed us to that isolated warehouse that day, it was not only you though both Rafael and Armstrong followed you”. Aiden looked at Ethan, who nodded his head confirming what his father said. He also looked at Armstrong who just smiled at him. He sighed '' Why did I shoot her?I know that I can't just shoot anyone without a valid reason” He said. Deris looked at him and held his hand and smiled” We know Aiden, you are not irresponsible and reckless, you shot Sofia because she was aiming to shoot at me with a sniper from inside the warehouse .” She caressed his hand and kissed it.”If not for you my son I would have been dead.” She said, looking at him with tenderness. Ares smiled seeing his wife and his son together again, he looked at his son” What yo
