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

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

What? This again? She was pretending not to remember him again? "Kierra, what do you mean?" He asked, "We were on call yesterday. You, you told me about your day, I offered to get you a new house and a new apartment and you—"She shook her head, "I do not recall, sorry." She said, "This is the second time you've come up to me, talking about us meeting before and now being on a phome call. What is wrong with you?" She asked. Aiden's brows arched, "What?""The last time I saw you, was on the streets. You were just a regular guy. Now, you're suddenly rich. And you still have this weird attitude." She looked at Aiden with a puzzled expression and asked, "Do you have memory loss or some kind of mental illness? Then you should get treated!"Her statement caught Aiden off guard. He looked at her in disbelief, as if questioning the absurdity of such a suggestion. At that moment, he took a closer look, scrutinizing her features. It was undoubtedly Kierra. So why was she speaking to him lik

Oh hell no. This little shit kept on disrespecting her and she was trying to be the nice person here but she couldn't. Was this how she would continue to take her excesses? No. Katherine's anger flashed across her face as she scolded Hope. "You little brat, you had better get respectful towards me or else—"Aiden swiftly interjected, his tone firm. "Katherine, you shouldn't yell at Hope like that. She's just a child, and meeting someone new who is going to be a parent can be overwhelming for her. Let's try to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone, okay?" he urged, attempting to diffuse the tension.Even Aiden was yelling at her too? Absolutely great. She responded with a forced smile. "Of course, Aiden. I understand," she said, her voice tight. "Just give her time. I'm sure she'll come around." He added and Katherine gave a tight-lipped smile.Katherine suggested, "Well, shall we, Aiden? The guests are still waiting." Hope chimed in, "I'm not going. I'll just si

She was seated alone with a glass in hand, hair disheveled and she looked intoxicated. How long had she been here? Why was she alone and why was she drinking herself to stupor. Could it be because of their altercation earlier? Or could it be because someone was actually blackmailing her? Well, Aiden didn't want to stick around to find out which of it it was. He already had enough on his plate as it was. He just wanted to have a drink and leave. He walked to a different section of the bat, the background music and clinking glasses escorting his movement. However, his eyes involuntarily flicked back to Melissa, but he quickly looked away. He took a seat at the barstool as he spotted the bartender wiping down a glass with a faded rag."Whiskey," he ordered. He nodded, dropping the glass and then went on to pour a single shot. The amber liquid filled the glass and. Aiden's gaze lingered on the it. He dropped the glass on the table and turned around to leave. Aiden halted him with

“What?” Aiden exclaimed upon hearing the news Melissa took a deep, shuddering breath. "So, it's like this," she began, her words slightly slurred. "My old man, bless his soul, he kicked the bucket. And he left behind his large business empire, you know, a little nest egg for his dear daughter." She chuckled, the irony not lost on her."So, here I am," she continued, "with this inheritance just waiting for me. But there's a catch – the fine print says I can only get it if I have a husband.” She rolled her eyes, a mix of frustration and amusement evident in her intoxicated expression.Aiden, his brow furrowing in confusion, asked, "But why would you need a husband to claim the inheritance? That sounds... outdated."Melissa nodded, wiping away a stray tear. "Oh, you bet it is. My father, may he rest in peace, believed in some old-fashioned idea that a woman couldn't handle money or business without a man by her side. Basically a misogynist. Ridiculous, right?" Another chuckle escaped her
