“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
It was a new daybreak. Mrs. Frederick and her lovely daughter, Catherine, were already awake.They sat in the dining room as they sent a maid to inform Aidan it was time for breakfast since he was on holiday from going to the office.They thought Aidan later came back last night when they were fast asleep, not knowing that he was locked in the cell.“Ma'am, he isn't in his room.” the maid who was sent to fetch Aidan announced with a slight bow.“What do you mean? How possible is that? Where could he have gone this early morning?” Mrs. Frederick bombarded the maid with plenty of questions within a single breath.“I have no idea whether he had gone out or not.” the maid responded.“Did you check his bathroom? He might be taking his shower because I'm certain that he has gone to the office. Moreover, he said he won't go to the office throughout the week.” said Catherine.“Hmm… I can't tell if he is taking his shower, but I knocked on the door countless times and no one responded. His doo
In the office, Aidan could be seen handcuffed as he sat opposite an officer with a smirk on his face.It was time to question Aidan about what happened the previous day in the restaurant.The police station Aidan was locked was a different station from the one inspector Lincoln was at. Therefore, he was going to answer questions from a different inspector rather than Inspector Lincoln. Aidan couldn't close his eyes the previous night because being in a cell wasn't something he had experienced. The place was strange and unfriendly as he thought it would be.He spent the whole night thinking about his Mom and younger sister. He was so concerned about what they might be thinking about him.Aidan was fully convinced that his Mom and younger sister would be worried if they didn't see him.Unfortunately, that was the first thing he hated. He hated making his family feel sad because of him.Now, here he is in the police and they are not aware of it. It hurts him whenever he imagines his Mom
Immediately, Catherine spotted her elder brother, she ran to him and her mom and Sharon followed. Before they could reach Aidan, a broad chest police officer quickly entered Aidan's front to protect him from being pushed to the ground by those women who were approaching him to run.“Hey, slow down,” said the police officer as he demonstrated it with his hands and they obeyed. He gave them a chance to talk to Aidan. Just immediately, the police created a way for them, and Catherine hastily embraced Aidan. She freely let out tears flow down her cheeks and wet Aidan's shirt.“W-what happened, Aidan?” Mrs. Frederick stammered as she demanded why her son ended up in the cell without offense.Aidan remained silent as he stared at his Mom and Sharon, who were staring at him confused with tear-filled eyes.Mrs. Frederick waited for his response for a few minutes, yet Aidan didn't answer her question.Sharon covered the space between her and Aidan. Nonetheless, Catherine was still hugging him
