Aiden entered the house and the moment he stepped in, she ran and hugged him tightly."Hi, Daddy! I missed you," she exclaimed with joy while she had her arms wrapped around him in a hugAiden smiled, attempting to mask his frustration. "Missed you too, sweetheart." Hope, sensing something was amiss, let go of him and looked up at him with curious eyes."Daddy, what's wrong? Why do you look upset?" she asked, concern furrowing her brows.Aiden sighed, conflicted about how much to share with his young daughter. He couldn't tell her about the rollercoaster of a day he just had. But he would have to tell her about the marriage. Maybe during dinner. "It's just some grown-up stuff, honey. Don't worry about it."Hope, not entirely satisfied with his answer, nodded and decided to drop the matter. She held onto her father's hand, leading him into the dining. She cheerfully announced, "Dinner's ready, Daddy! The maids said they prepared your favorites."Aiden managed a grateful smile, appre

Aiden ascended the stairs to his room and immediately headed straight to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and afterwards, he hit the shower. A soothing cascade of warm water enveloped him in the shower, washing away the tension that clung to him. It did calm down some of his agitated nerves. When he was done, he stepped out and changed into his clothes. Finally, when he was clad in sleepwear, he retreated to bed. Aiden's hand grazed the cool surface of his phone as he picked it up. The first thing he noticed was that he had a missed call from Kierra. Curiosity piqued, he swiftly navigated to his call log and dialed her number. The phone rang a few times before Kierra's warm voice resonated through the speaker."Hey, Aiden! Long time, no talk," she exclaimed. He reciprocated with a small chuckle. "Yeah, it has been a while. How have you been?""Well, fine. I've been fine. I just got off work and I'm on my way home." She replied, "How was your day?" Kierra's voice was warm over th

In the luxurious confines of her beautiful living room, Katherine found herself engrossed in the reality show airing on the television. She was also having a late-night snack — takeouts from Inside out burger. Just then, her Butler entered into the living room. With a subtle clearing of his throat, he conveyed, "Madam, Mr. Nathan Moore is here to see you."Perplexed and momentarily setting aside her food, Katherine regarded the butler with curiosity. "Nathan Moore? Here, and at this hour?" she mused aloud.What was that man doing at her house by almost eleven pm? What couldn't possibly wait till tomorrow? The butler, maintaining his composed demeanor, nodded in affirmation. "Yes, Madam. Shall I inform him to wait?""No need to make him wait. Please, ask him to come in." The Butler nodded and turned around to leave. A few minutes later, Nathan stepped into the room. He found himself under the scrutiny of Katherine's inquisitive gaze. Her eyes narrowed at him, "Nathan, what brings yo

Nathan took a sip of his drink, leaning back into his seat. "Melissa begged for an extra week," he remarked.Katherine's eyes narrowed, her skepticism evident. "An extra week? Her deadline expired yesterday. Why grant her that extension?"Why was she asking for an extra week? Was she so confident that her mysteriously missing fiance would pop back into her life within a week? Nathan, maintaining a cryptic smile, swirled the wine in his glass. "Negotiations, my dear Katherine. We came to an agreement and uh, concessions are made."That was that for that. Nathan didn't see the need to delve into the main reason he had given her a week. Neither did he want to let Katherine know about the picture. She was a nosy woman, and she would definitely want to know more about it. So, it was best not to even begin the topic with her. Katherine wasn't satisfied. "Nathan, don't play games. What's the real reason for this extension?"Of course, what did he say?He chuckled, deflecting the question w

Kierra's voice echoed through the phone, repeatedly saying, "Hello? Hello? Hello?" as Aiden, perplexed and staring at the unexpected photo from Melissa, went silent. Aiden's eyes widened in disbelief as he absorbed the implications of the picture. It was him and Melissa kissing. What? How on earth did she get the picture?Who took the picture? "Aiden? Are you th—"He abruptly interrupted Kierra, "I'll call you back later," "What? Aiden—" he swiftly ended the call and moved to dial Melissa's number immediately. As soon as she picked up, she greeted him with a casual "Good eveni—""What's the meaning of that picture you sent to me?" Aiden questioned, cutting her short. "Who sent the picture to you? How did you get the picture?"Melissa, attempting to evade the questions, replied, "I can't talk on the phone right now. Let's have a meeting tomorrow." Aiden, not satisfied with her response, pressed further, "Why can't you talk on the phone right now?" Melissa, hesitating, finally

Riley and Lady Elizabeth were in the living room, watching the morning news when a knock came on the door. They both shared a look. Riley got up on her feet, "I'll go get it." She said, She walked to the door and opened it, only to see Stephen and three hefty–looking and muscular men standing before her. Her brows furrowed. She remembered the man — Steven, Aiden's lawyer. However, she wondered what they were doing here. "Good morning. What brings you here?" Riley inquired.Stephen, maintaining a composed demeanor, replied, "My name is Barrister Steven and I am Aiden's lawyer. He instructed me to deliver something to you." He then opened his briefcase, revealing the divorce papers. "You still haven't signed them."Just then, Lady Elizabeth came to the doorway and her brows furrowed when she saw her visitors. She as well also recognized the man as Aiden's lawyer. "What is happening here? Why are you here with these men?" she questioned. Riley, pointing at the divorce papers, expla

Aiden looked up from his work, his expression a blend of curiosity and mild irritation. "Who is it?" he inquired.Steven announced himself. "It's Steven, Commander." He said with a polite nod. "Come in," Aiden invited him to come in. As Steven entered, the door closed behind him, muffling the external sounds. Aiden gestured towards the empty chair on the other side of his desk, inviting Steven to sit.The lawyer took a seat, his eyes briefly scanning the meticulously organized chaos on Aiden's desk. Aiden, leaning back in his chair, set aside his pen, giving Steven his full attention. "What brings you here?" He inquired.

Melissa wanted them to be a couple? The fuck?"Aiden, consider this." She began, "If we make our relationship publicly, any scandalous picture will be overshadowed. Even if it is released, it won't be a big deal because we are already a couple." Hmm. All of this seemed a bit…fishy. While she painted a picture of controlling the narrative, he couldn't shake the growing suspicion that this might be a calculated move on Melissa's part to disrupt his engagement with Katherine.Maybe she was jealous, and wanted to sabotage his engagement. Maybe so she could get back at Katherine. Yes, it made perfect sense. The realization hit Aiden like a sudden storm, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place. Why would the compromising picture conveniently surface a day before his engagement party with Katherine? And of all the solutions she could think of, the only one that seemed suitable was him ditching his engagement and being with her?That was absolute nonsense!Aiden's keen instincts hon

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
