THE SUPREME BILLIONAIRE BOSS 36
The four men’s attention was alerted the moment the door opened and Aiden stepped in, his two bodyguards followed behind him— all three of them in dark shades, the bodyguards in all–black suits and Aiden was still in his dazzling red suit, after all, he had come back here right after he was done with the Campbells. “General! Nice to have you back.” Gabriel said as the four men got up as Aiden stepped into the room, gesture of reverence and and respect. He was their lost king after all. There were four seats for the four men— two at each side of the room, facing the other pair oppositely. Aiden’s large diamond encrusted throne stayed at the central. He sat down on the throne and his two bodyguards stood at either side behind him. “You may sit.” Aiden said to them. It felt so good to say that, to be in control, to speak commands to people and they immediately follow without protests or asking questions. At first it felt strange, but he has gotten used to it. It looks as if he has be

Richard, Gabriel and the other guy— who’s name was Jonah, all shared a confused look. They couldn’t understand General Aiden’s resolve. They understood the first half of it though— which was the part where he said he wouldn’t rest until he found the killers of his parents and took revenge, the part they didn’t understand was the one about finding his savior and rewarding her with money. Richard felt it was unnecessary, and he furrowed his brows in confusion. “But General, I don’t think it’s necessary to look for the lady and moreso, give her so much money. Besides we might never find her.” Richard tried to reason. The idea of the monetary reward didn’t appeal to him— Richard Grahams was keen about the Blue Diamond’s Society’s funds and how they were dispensed, he didn’t what indiscriminate spending just as Aiden’s cousin had done. He found Aiden’s decision unnecessary and tried to talk him out of it, hoping he’d succumb. “No. She is the sole reason why I’m alive today and fit to ta

Gabriel went to the bouncers and whispered into the ears of one of them. “Oh? So this is the billionaire, Mr. Everton?” The bodyguard spoke after Gabriel whispered into his ears. “Very nice to meet you sir.” The bouncer smiled and Aiden nodded. He had learnt that rich men don’t need to speak to much and do very well at communications through eye–contact and gestures. “Alright gentlemen, you can now proceed.” The other bodyguard said and opened the doors. Aiden and his entourage stepped into the hallway. There was a large door at the end of the hallway and another bouncer in a black was standing by the side— he was the valet and he opened the grand doors for Aiden and his men. Immediately they stepped in, they were welcomed with the murkiness from the neon–lights. A large stage was structured at the centre of the room, there were poles on the stage too. Around the stage were tables and chairs that came in fours. At the closest spot to the stage was a segemented area, demarcated wit

Gabriel was confused now, from the surprised and also confused look on the General’s face to the fact that the same look was mirrored on the waitress’s face. He arched his brows, did the General and this girl know each other from before. “Kiera? Is this really you?” Aiden asked, staring her down from head to toe. This was the same girl he had met earlier today, who scolded him for being harsh on Hope and the same girl who had given him twenty dollars when he was in dire need— even though she claims not to remember their first meet or his identity. But with the way she was staring surprisedly at him, it showed that she did recognize him this time. “I should be asking the same. I can’t believe this is you Aiden. You look so…so, different.” She stated matter–of–factly. She must be so shocked because she had seen him earlier today looking ragged and dilapidated and now he was in designers, it must be too much for her to take in. Gabriel wasn’t comfortable with to where the conversati

“Let’s go out.” She said, opening the door and a wave of cold wind entered. It was chilly and Aiden saw that she out her hands on either of her shoulders to warm up her almost bare body. “I don’t think so. It’s kind of cold and you’re uh—” Aiden trailed, he didn’t know how he would convey that she was barely dressed without sounding rude or insensitive. “In stripper clothes?” She chuckled, completing his statement. She didn’t understand why he was so flustered to just state the matter–of–fact, but she found it cute that he was being skeptical about it. “It doesn’t matter. I’m used to it, I think. Let’s go out.” She repeated and led the way, stepping out of the building. Aiden followed, wishing he had brought a jacket along so he could give it to her to shield the cold. She walked all the to a nearby car and leaned on it, Aiden did the same, leaning beside her. He had just noticed now that she was holding a can of beer, a rolled up joint and a lighter in her other hand. “Beer?” S

He spun around, and his eyes quickly noticed familiar faces at the far end of the room having a heated conversation with an unfamiliar face. He squirmed his eyes, narrowing it down to them and saw that it was for sure Gabriel and the bodyguards. He ached his brows, what were they doing there? And why were they arguing with that man? She watched him as he left his lounge table and made his way towards the other end of the room. Now that he was gone, it was her time to strike. Aiden walked over to the commotion. Gabriel and some guy were arguing. “I know you’re the manager but that doesn’t mean we get treated like tha—” “What’s going on Gabriel?” Aiden asked, cutting short Gabriel’s statement. Gabriel turned to him, “Oh Great, our General is here.” The manager also faced Aiden, quickly accessing his outlook and noting that he was a man of class. “I’m sorry sir, but are they affiliated to you?” The manager’s tone calmed down as he spoke to Aiden. Aiden felt complacent within, it’s

“Daddy! Daddy! Wake up.” That was what jolted Aiden out of his deep sleep the next morning. His eyes gradually opened and the blurry morning vision cleared and he saw crisply, Hope hovering over him with a broad smile on her face. It was contagious of course and Aiden found himself smiling too, “Good Morning baby.” He greeted her, lifting her and placing her on the other side of the bed and she giggled. “Morning daddy.” She grinned now. Her smiles looked more better now, and it’s not even up to twenty–four hours of their upliftment. Also, something else was different about her smile— and it wasn’t the piece of spinach stuck between her teeth which clearly showed she hadn’t brushed her teeth last night— rather, she had lost a tooth. “Oh? Did you loose a tooth, Hope?” Aiden asked obliviously. Her grin spread, “Yes daddy. I gave it to the tooth fairy.” Aiden fake gasped in awe. “And she’s going to give me a big present tomorrow, just like she always does.’’ Hope excitedly said and a
