It was a brand-new day and the entire household of late Mr. Frederick were already awake and busy with their daily activities. In the dining room, the three family members could be spotted having their breakfast as a family.Unfortunately, Sharon left home the previous day because Aidan refused her to sleep over, saying it was inappropriate for her to overstay when they are yet to marry.Without arguing, Sharon obeyed and left, not because she was angry at Aidan but because it was an act of obedience.“Catherine,” Aidan called for his sister's attention after dropping the spoon he held in his hand earlier.“Yes, brother. Any issue? Because as you can see, I'm still eating, and it isn't appropriate for one to be eating and talking at the same time.” she smirked.“Ohh, forgive me. Let me wait for you to finish, then.”“Sure, but you can talk to Mom if you are looking for a gist partner because she's done eating,” she sugg
At twilight, when the last vestige of the setting sun was giving its final kiss to the earth before the moon replaced it, Aidan could be seen heading to the cars that were already waiting for him.He had informed his Mom and younger sister that he was going out, but he kept the place he was going a secret.His chauffeur was already on the wheel, waiting for his arrival. Shortly after entering the car, which was opened by one of his bodyguards, the chauffeur quickly ignited the car key.Instantly, they left the mansion and headed to Kate's house to take them to a restaurant Aidan had prepared in his mind he would take them to. Shortly after driving around the city, they arrived at the Villa. However, before Aidan could leave home, he had informed Kate to get prepared because he was coming to pick them up for the arranged dinner.Just as the maid heard the light knock from the entrance, she rushed and opened it.“Good evening, sir. You are welcome.” The maid greeted with a slight bow
On the other hand, Mrs. Emily didn't say a word, rather than staring intensely at her daughter and then at her ex-son-in-law.She wished they could reunite as one family, but there was no way that could be possible because Aidan had slipped off their hands.“Mom,” Aidan called back to reality. “ I believe you are done preparing, so we can go. Are you?”“Yes, I am.” she happily responded and added. “ I apologize for putting you through this stress, Aidan. I can't tell why I have been having these nightmares, but I believe that everything will end tonight after dinner.”“Mom, it's okay, you don't have to bother yourself again. I made the offer for the dinner, no one forced me, so, I believe that you will stop seeing nightmares after this as you have said.” Aidan let out and Mrs. Emily nodded.Aidan looked at his wristwatch and then said to her,“ Can we go, please? Time is going, and I don't want us to come back late.”“Sure,” Kate muttered and then turned to her Mom. “ Mom, you guys shou
“Yes, Aidan.” Mrs. Emily responded and extended his hand to the other side of the table that was set between them to hold Aidan's hand.Amidst this, every customer who was inside the restaurant powered on his or her phone light to make the place a little bright before the electric supply got solved.“I got you, Mom,” said Aidan after taking Mrs. Emily's hand.While this commotion was going on, Wayne and his colleagues bumped into the restaurant to rescue their boss in case there was an incoming danger.As soon as they entered, the lights came up, brightening every angle of the restaurant as usual.“Boss, are you okay?” Wayne worriedly asked after locating Aidan.“Yeah, I'm good. You can go back,” Aidan responded before letting go of Mrs. Emily's hand.Wayne nodded before they turned around and left.Instantly, the manager of the restaurant came up. “ Accept our apology for the inconvenience. This had never happe
Upon hearing those four letters words D-E-A-D, Aidan's spirit almost left his body because of the hurtful words that sounded in his ears.But how is this possible?That's what Aidan couldn't tell because he couldn't recall seeing anyone putting poison inside Mrs. Emily's food.Could it be that it was one of those waitresses who did this? But is there anything that warrants them to do such a thing?“No…!” Aidan sorrowfully screamed and angrily kicked the wall with his Italian shiny shoes.Just as he attempted to punch the wall, Wayne held his hand from behind.“No, boss. You can only hurt yourself more, but it won't solve the issue on ground. Take it easy on yourself, please.” said Wayne as he firmly held Aidan's hand and robbed it from reaching the wall.Aidan bitterly sobs as he buried his face against the wall.‘My Mom warned me about this, but I never listened. See what I have put myself into. Will Kate ever believe that I'm not the cause of this? H-how will I explain this to my Mo
Kate began shivering as she couldn't believe her eyes. Her entire body was weak as she stared at her dead mom on the hospital bed.She summoned courage and dragged her legs to the sick bed as tears began to flow down her cheeks.Kate was yet to believe what her eyes were saying. Maybe her Mom was just sleeping or something.On the other hand, Aidan couldn't say a word as he wondered where he would start.He was lost if he should embrace and console her or kneel and plead for her mercy, even though he wasn't the one who killed the woman.How will he tell that the both of them were eating dinner and her mom was poisoned, but he wasn't? How will it sound in her ears? Aidan was lost in thoughts. His heart was speedily pounding against her chest as if it wanted to leave his body.Just to be sure that it wasn't what she was thinking, Kate fearfully placed one of her hands on her mother's chest to feel if
“What!” Aidan mouthed. “ What's wrong with you, young man? Is that how you handle issues? Yours is to call the police without asking how the issue came about. Are you sure you are okay?” he yelled at Antonio.Antonio ignored him and proceeded with his phone call.“Boss, permit me to take down this b*tch. How dare he call the police for you? Why is he feeling like some kind of god?” Wayne was enraged.His gun was already in his hand. He was ready to pull the trigger if only Aidan permitted him to do so.“No, Wayne. Violence isn't good. Believe me, everything will be fine in due time.” Aidan assured him with a calm voice as Antonio was busy communicating with a police officer on the phone.“Officer, you need to be fast with things before the homicide escapes!” said Antonio with a commanding tone.Aidan's eyes widened in shock. He knew he had done nothing, but he just had to wait for the arrival of the police officers to claim his innocence.“This good-for-nothing blood-sucking monster,
Shockingly, the policemen didn't bother asking him to keep moving, rather they stood there waiting for him if he was going to pick up the call.They assumed that it was one of his family members, and they were willing to allow Aidan to inform his family about his arrest, so they could tell where he presently was.“I love this,” Antonio chuckled and crossed his arms over his chest, and nodded his head with an evil smile plastered on his face.“Pick up your call and stop delaying our time.” one of the policemen shouted at Aidan after noticing that he wasn't showing any sign of picking up the call.Aidan shut his eyes and shook his head before he heavily sighed and opened his eyes.He picked up the call and gently placed it in his ear. “Hello, Mom,” he muttered as he tried hard to hide his sad voice from his Mom.“Aidan, where are you? Your sister and I have been waiting for your arrival, but we haven't seen you. What's wr
