“And make sure you don’t bring her back until her school fees is paid!” The Principal of Oakley Preparatory yelled at Aiden and Hope as they exited the school building.

“It’s okay, Hope. Daddy would find a way to pay up the money and you will go back to school soon and be with all your friends.” Aiden assured his daughter, Hope who was crying profusely seeing that she had been kicked out of school due to her father’s inability to pay up the fees.

Aiden Everton, a twenty–seven year old man who was a nobody and had absolutely no money. Regardless of his average status in the society and his lack of finance, he was still a handsome and very good-looking man. He spent some of his time at the gym, which made him to acquire a chiseled and toned body frame. He had ebony–black hair that was styled in a gelled side–swept hairstyle and had enigmatic aquamarine eyes to compliment them.

He grew up in an orphanage and was told his entire family was wiped out in a fire accident. He is now married to Riley Campbell, the granddaughter of the president of Campbell Enterprises, Lady Elizabeth Campbell. However, Riley wasn’t the mother of Hope. Hope, a seven year old child who’s mother was a lady Aiden had met at a club years ago in College and had a one night stand with her.

She ended up getting pregnant and dumped baby Hope with Aiden the moment she was born. She didn’t want to have anything to do with a poor nobody like Aiden and wasn’t interested in raising his child. And since then, Aiden has been the one responsible for Hope. Even though he didn’t have much, he still tried his best to cater for her needs. And it didn’t help matters that she was diagnosed of a hole in the heart the moment she was born and he has been struggling to meet up with constant medical treatments.

Riley and her family hated Aiden so much because he wasn’t wealthy, they disregarded and treated him like he was a piece of trash. And they extended their hatred to Hope, they disliked her because she wasn’t their own. Reasons why they refused to pay for her fees and her medical bills. Left to them, Riley shouldn’t have married wretched Aiden but because she had gotten pregnant for him while they were dating in college, their family prompted them to get married begrudgingly. That’s because they had a family principle that all babies must not be born out of wedlock.

However, the baby died few days after the marriage.

Hope and Aiden returned back home to the large Campbell family house. Aiden was a bit confused seeing that all the workers were busy with one thing or the other; they were preparing for the celebration that was going to take place at the ceremony tonight. It was Grandmother Lady Elizabeth Campbell’s 75th Birthday party celebration.

Riley was at the center of it all, dishing commands and instructions to the workers, harshly and arrogantly telling them what to do and then she spotted Aiden and Hope entering into the mansion and she walked up to him and the next thing that followed was she landing a resounding slap right across his face.

“Where have you been Aiden? You were supposed to be here an hour ago to mow the lawn, it’s overgrown and we’re having guests this evening!” Riley thundered angrily, scolding Aiden.

Aiden clutched his hurting cheek, “I went to get Hope from school. The principal sent her back home because she was unable to pay her—”

“Shut up, I don’t care.” Riley harshly interrupted. Aiden swallowed down the rest of his words, he was very careful about the words he said around Riley or any member of her family, he didn’t want to offend them. “Have you gotten the money for my twenty–fifth birthday bash? The yatch owners said I have to make my deposit now ahead of time for the rental.” Aiden sighed, Riley only cares about herself and no one else. Where did she expect him to raise 20,000$ just for her birthday celebration on a yatch? She knew he had no money, yet she tasked him with such huge amount of money.

“I don’t have it yet, Riley. I only have enough money to get you a small gift, maybe a necklace pendant.”

Riley’s face immediately went red with anger and a sour scowl fell on her face, “You poor peasant! What do you expect me to do with the filthy, cheap and fake pendant you could possibly get for me?”

“Riley you have to understand that I—”

WHAM! Riley landed another slap on his cheeks, “You’re so poor Aiden, it’s sickening. You can’t even afford the simplest of things? Why can’t you be like other men who would go the extra mile for their wives? You’re a wretched, poor nobody who doesn’t know how to treat a woman!”

Aiden couldn’t believe that Riley would say such to him. He loved her so much and he does know how to go the extra mile for her; just three years ago, Riley had been diagnosed of leukemia and at the time, her family’s business wasn’t making progress as it was now and they weren’t so wealthy. Aiden had singlehandedly taken it upon himself to pay for all the bills incurred from her treatment from the moment she was diagnosed till she recovered, he had borrowed money from friends and loan agencies just to be able to door the 15,000$. He even donated a bone marrow to her!

And now, she claims he doesn’t go the extra mile for her?

Aiden had so much to say to Riley but he quietened down, not wanting to anger her further. “I’m sorry Riley for not being man enough to take care of a beautiful girl like you.” Aiden bowed his head seeking forgiveness.

Riley scoffed, “Sorry for yourself. My rich boyfriend who knows my worth would take care of my birthday bills just as he has taken care of my grandmother’s birthday celebration that you were still unable to cater for.” Riley stated, shamelessly baring her infidelity and Aiden couldn’t protest. He knew Riley slept with other men but dared not oppose her. “And for your punishment, you are uninvited from my grandmother’s celebration. I don’t want to see you or this thing you call a daughter near this house when the celebration is going on.” Riley commanded, her voice soaring loudly.

Aiden drew Hope closer to himself, opening his mouth to defend his daughter, but he shut it back. Riley might decide to extend the punishment and not give her food tonight. Aiden’s hands rested on his daughter’s forehead, his brows creased as he touched her skin. She was having a high temperature.

“I’m so sorry Riley.” Aiden apologized again, however his ego as a man had been brutally bruised by Riley’s sharp tongue.

And in that moment, within a twinkle of an eye, Hope suddenly let go of her father’s hands and collapsed to the floor. Aiden was shocked and puzzled, immediately crouching down beside her unconscious body and began to shake her vigorously.

“Hope! Hope wake up!” He called out to her. “Hope dear, what’s going on?” He called out again and no answer, she had fainted and her body temperature had even increased more than it was a few moments ago when he felt her forehead.

Aiden was panicking, and fright took over him immediately. Something was wrong precious daughter.

“Riley, please help me. We need to take her to the hospital, her body is so hot. Please, Riley.” Aiden begged her fervently and Aiden was left dazed and even more shocked when Riley huffed, walking away from the scene without showing any human sympathy for the little girl who’s life was being threatened. Aiden wondered if she had any human sympathy at all?

Was that how much Riley hated Aiden and his daughter?

Aiden was asked to wait while the doctors were performing a series of tests on her to know what had gone wrong. Aiden was in the lobby waiting for the diagnosis tobe complete however, he couldn’t sit still. He was pacing to and fro about the room, he was worried and scared. What if something happens to Hope? How would he be able to cope without her? About an hour later, a nurse entered into the lobby room and walked up to Aiden, “Mr. Aiden, the doctor would like to see you now.” She said and it immediately birthed a wave of anxiety surging within Aiden. This was the moment of truth; he knew deep down that what happened to Hope today was most likely a result of her lingering heart problem. And he knew it was his fault, he didn’t have enough money to seek a permanent solution to it and could o

    Aiden is confused and tired of everything! He had just lost his job, the only means he was using to generate income even though it was little. He was hoping he could ask for another six months advance, so he could pay up Hope’s fees and she could return back to school. But first he had to figure out a way her health would be recovered before thinking about her schooling. Aiden decided to go job hunting. Yes, he needed a new job for the meantime or else he would starve to death. So he got up from the hospital bed and put on his clothes— his clothes that were already old and worn out now had numerous tears and were blood–stained as a result of the beating he had received at the celebration. But he didn’t have a fresh change of clothes, and going back to the Campbell mansion was completely not an option. So he had to make do with what he had. He changed into the clothes and put on his shoes that had a hole in the front. His hair was a mess and he hadn’t showered nor brushed his teeth

    Aiden continued his job–hunt journey, he decided to pocket the twenty dollars and get something for Hope later. After his interview, he would go back to the hospital to check if she was conscious and then he would ask her what she wanted. He saw a poster for a job ad, it was hung on the gate of a small bank. They were in need of a security guard. He could apply for this. He opened the gates and began to walk into the premises and then he heard someone call out to him, “Hey Mr. Man!” Aiden immediately swung around and met with a security guard. Aiden began to walk back towards him. Immediately he approached the security guard, he eyed him from head to toe in a condescending manner. “And what are you looking for here?” The guard questioned.“I’m Aiden Everton and I want to apply for the post of a security guard.” Aiden explained and the security guard cringed in disgust, pinching his nose together on inhaling the smell that oozed from Aiden’s mouth. “You stinking man! You’re so smel

    Aiden sat in the doctor’s office impatiently. He was nervous and couldn’t keep his fingers in place, they were fidgeting and he had to keep them busy by scratching his knee. He was anxious to hear what the doctor had to say to him concerning Hope. Was she able to survive or did those beeps he heard from her ward mean exactly what he thought they meant. “Mr. Aiden.” “Yes doctor.” Aiden blurted, he couldn’t control his emotions.“Your daughter, she—” The doctor began and paused, heaving a pathetic sigh and shook his head in pity. Aiden’s heart began to do somersaults, was she truly dead? He was becoming apprehensive. “What happened doctor? Is she dead?” The words came out lowly from Aiden, like it was a taboo to speak them and with each syllable that came out of his mouth, pangs of pain stabbed his chest. “No! No. She’s not. She’s alive, barely though.” The doctor stated and Aiden felt a notable amount of his burden taken off him, and he would’ve sighed in relief if her death wasn’t

    Aiden was shocked and surprised at Katherine’s outrageous demands. He had to take a moment to digest the absurdity of her condition because he had never expected such from Katherine. Aiden felt she was being too direct and forward, and the whole idea of marriage was baffling! However, at that moment, Aiden had a recollection. He remembered on few occasions where Katherine’s greetings were ‘extraordinarily nice’ and now that he thought about it again, those greetings were a bit flirty. And the way she smiled whenever he waved at her as she entered into the office was more than just a friendly—boss—to—employee smile. It held so much more. And now she was blatantly asking him to marry her before she would render help. It was like she had been waiting for this opportunity to come by for a long time and the moment it showcased itself, she immediately grabbed the bull by both it’s horns. Aiden then realized that his boss Katherine most likely had a crush on him. He knew it sounded very un

    Aiden wished he had told her about the money offer earlier, he wouldn’t have come. He couldn’t possibly accept such huge sum of money from Katherine. He had only asked that she helped him with his daughter’s medical bills and help him get his job back. But half a million dollars? That’s way too much for Aiden to accept. “Katherine, I can’t accept that.” Aiden refused and Katharine pouted sadly at him.“But why, Aiden?” She inquired and proceeded to run her hands down Aiden’s chest slowly and calculatedly. Aiden’s body stiffens at her touch. It’s been ages since any female had tried to be flirty with Aiden. He wondered if Katherine was trying to seduce him to accepting. Katherine leaned in closer to Aiden, whispering into his ears ,“Come on, Aiden. Just accept the marriage proposal.” Her tone sounded inviting and alluring. Katherine mouth gradually leave Aiden’s ears and began to work their way towards Aiden’s lips, about to give him a kiss. Her other hand still on his chest, cares

    Aiden returned back to the hospital, since he couldn’t return back to the Campbells Mansion, he decided to stay at the hospital until he’s able to pay for Hope’s treatment and then he would figure out life from there. Hope’s treatment. Yet again, Aiden had failed woefully at another attempt to raise money for the transplant. A part of subconsciousness rebuked him for refusing Katherine’s offer; she was sexy and rich so why not accept her offer, instead of clinging to a woman who despised him and his daughter. The logical part of his subconsciousness encouraged him, telling him that he had done the right thing by rejecting Katherine’s advances, her money and her marriage offer. It showed he was a man of principle. Aiden then contemplated what to do next and he paced around my lobby, pondering deep in thought. He needed to find a solution to this quickly and the only option he had was to try and phone some of his friends from college again. He really hoped they will help, it wasn’t

    Aiden's eyes widened as Kierra and her twin sister stepped forward, their faces completely identical — their eyes, their hair, theit walking steps, everything was the same and he could hardly tell the difference. He couldn't help but feel a rush of surprise and it was hard for him to digest what was unfolding before him. "Aiden?" Kierra's asked — he knew it was her because he was sure her twin sister didn't know his name. She was the one in a pink, flowery patterned sun–dress and she had her hair in a ponytail. And then, it all clicked – the moments of inexplicable behavior, the occasional shifts in demeanor. Kierra's twin was the missing link, the reason behind the occasional confounding encounters.Aiden, still absorbing the revelation, muttered, "So, you have a twin... That explains everything." That was the reason why most times, it seemed as though she didn't remember him. It was because he met with her twin!Seeing the confusion on Aiden's face, Gabriel decided to speak up

    A knock on his office's door knocked him out of his thoughts and he looked up to see Gabriel entering into his office. He came in and Aiden waited for the girls to follow behind him, or at least, Kierra, but nobody else came in. He arched his brows, "Where are they, Gabriel?" he asked. "Well, they refused to come back with me." Gabriel stated and Aiden's brows furrowed in annoyance, and angered scowl sterning his expression. "What?" He explained, shooting up from his chair and banging his fists on the table. "Why would they do that?' "Well, I don't really understand why. But one was rambling about how she felt all of this was a big old scam, and the other one explicitly explained how she was uninterested in seeing your face. She further said that if she had known it was you behind this all along, she wouldn't have bothered to involve herself." Gabriel narrated and that was enough to sober up Aiden's annoyance. The last one was definitely Kierra, she was still very mad at him. An

    Melissa's heart pounded in her chest as she swiftly ended the phone call with Anderson. Without wasting a moment, she grabbed her bag, slinging it over her shoulder in a hurried motion. Turning to Cynthia, she urgently instructed, "Cancel all my appointments for today. I'll be out of the office." Cynthia nodded in acknowledgment.The office seemed to blur as Melissa hurriedly made her way out, her heels clicking on the polished floors. She briskly walked to the elevator, her mind racing with a mix of fear and anticipation. The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open. She entered into the lift and the minute long journey seemed to stretch for all of eternity.As she exited the building, the cool breeze hit her face, and she quickened her pace towards the parking lot. Unlocking her car, she hopped in, the engine roaring to life as she keyed it. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as she drove, her mind preoccupied with worries about Nicholas.Of course, it was him.Fidgeting

    Nathan and his father, Mr. Richardson, sat in the elegant living room of their home. The aroma of aged wine lingered in the air as they each held crystal glasses, taking measured sips.Nathan, with a furrowed brow, finally broke the thoughtful silence. "Dad, how did you even find out about the Blue Diamond Society? I mean, it's like this secret society, right?"Mr. Richardson leaned back in his plush chair, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Well, the Blue Diamond Society has been around for a long, long time. It's like a clandestine network, always in the shadows, weaving its influence. After the unfortunate incident with Aiden's family, they went into exile, but now, they're back."Nathan's curiosity heightened. "Back? Why now?"His father took another sip of wine, his gaze distant for a moment. "Well, my son, timing is everything. And the return of the Blue Diamond Society coincides with a shift in power, in opportunities. It's an old alliance finding new footing in a changing worl

    Aiden, still taken aback by Katherine's unexpected appearance, managed to compose himself enough to ask the burning question."What are you doing here, Katherine?" he inquired, a mixture of surprise and skepticism etched on his face.Katherine, with a faint smile, responded, "I came to apologize, Aiden. I know things have been complicated, and I wanted to clear the air. Honestly, I'm not the one who leaked the video or images. It must be someone else. Honestly.” He furrowed his brows, absorbing the information. The gravity of the situation seemed to hang in the air, and he wasn't sure whether to trust Katherine's words.To emphasize her sincerity, Katherine extended a gift bag toward him. "I brought you a friendly 'I'm sorry' pie and some wine. Let's just sit down, have a slice, and talk things through."As Aiden hesitated, she playfully added, "And don't worry, I hope Hope is fast asleep because tonight might just get a bit more interesting. I'm planning on staying over."Aiden's ey
