THE SUPREME BILLIONAIRE BOSS 66
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

Melissa's desperate kiss lingered, her fingers fumbled with the fabric of Aiden's shirt as she sought to take it off. Fuck…her lips on his again reminded him of the last time they were together and it filled him with the deaire to reignite…to experience it again. But he couldn't, they had not been able to diffuse the trouble that came up from the last time they were together. He had to resist. So, he carefully pushed her away, creating a necessary distance between them."I can't, Melissa," he murmured. "But Aiden, why?" she implored, " miss you. I can't stop thinking about that last time we were together. I need it again." She confessed, slurring her words. No way, she was drunk and there was no way she meant any of that. And that was also the reason why he couldn't have anything to do with her. She was drunk. She was out of her senses. "Melissa, it's not that simple," she said, "We can't afford to complicate things further. There's too much at stake.""But Aiden…" "Melissa, I

Aiden trying his best to maintain his calm, responded sternly, "Leave Hope out of this, Katherine. She's my daughter, and she's not a bargaining chip in our agreement.""Fine then." She replied, "We can plan it strategically. Maybe a short, romantic getaway won't hurt. We'll find a way to make it work."He let out an exasperated sigh, "Short, long or anything in–between. My daughter and my work schedule won't allow me." Katherine rolled her eyes at Aiden's resistance. "If you were actually getting married to a woman that you loved, you would've gladly gone on a honeymoon with her. Wouldn't you?""Yes, Katherine, that's the difference. If I were truly in love with a woman my daughter also loves, I would've made the sacrifices and gone on the honeymoon. But we're not in that situation, are we? Our marriage is not a fairytale don't love you, neither does Hope.""Hope again, really?" Katherine crossed my arms, "So is it my fault that your girl doesn't like me?""Well, I don't blame her."

Andreas swiftly dialed Katherine's number, frustration evident in each key he pressed. The phone rang impatiently before Katherine finally answered."Katherine!" Aiden's voice was laced with frustration and anger. "What the hell is going on? Have you seen the headlines?"Katherine, seemingly unfazed, responded coolly, "Aiden, darling, I'm in the middle of an urgent meeting. What's got you so worked up?"Aiden's patience wore thin, "Urgent meeting? Are you kidding me? I'm talking about the headlines about our engagement, Katherine. It's all over the damn internet!"There was a brief pause before Katherine responded, confusion coloring her tone, "Headlines? Aiden, what are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean."Aiden's frustration peaked as he shouted into the phone, "Don't play dumb with me, Katherine! Someone leaked our engagement to the media, and it's all over the news!""Leaked our engagement to the media? Aiden what are you—"Aiden's frustration boiled over, "Don't prete

The news hadn’t absorbed into her fully the first time he said it. Anderson had to repeat himself again before Melissa understood the gravity of her situation.Nicholas was dead.Behind that thick door were an array of dead bodies in a freezer and Nicholas’s was one of them.Her fiance Nicholas, the man she was going to get married to, the man that loved her like no one else could, the man that had promised her forever was now behind that door, his corpse embalmed in the freezer.

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
