Trekking down the expressway, Aidan wasn't aware that Felix called and reported him to Kate.
A call suddenly interrupted Aidan from thinking about his miserable life. He stood by the roadside and brought out his phone and picked up the call.The caller happened to be a man, who was one of Aidan's company managers. Aidan addressed the man as “president D”, but his name was Donald.The man also respected Aidan, and he addresses him as “young master”.“Young master,” Mr. Donald called out.“Good day.” he greeted.“Good day, president D. How have you been doing?” Aidan's voice echoed on the phone.“I'm fine, young master,” he responded, and Aidan nodded as though Mr. Donald was seeing his reaction.“How may I help you?” Aidan finally asked.Mr. Donald explained,“ Young master, I wanted to ask if the contract should be sent to the KW company.”On hearing the company's name, Aidan went silent for a few minutes as he hesitated if he should send this contract to this company or not.The KW company was the company Aidan assisted Kate to develop without her knowledge. It was because of him that Kate was where she was today.It hasn't been an hour since he got kicked out of her house and now, his manager is calling to inform him about sending a contract to her company.Will he allow this despite the humiliation he had received from the family members? It would be hard.After thinking for a few minutes, he replied to Mr. Donald,“ Yes, but this is their last contract, please inform them.”Mr. Donald was silent for a few seconds before he confirmed it.“Done, young master,” he announced, and Aidan nodded and hung up the call.At this time, a luxury car stopped at Aidan, and a beautiful girl got out of the car. She majestically walked up to Aidan.Aidan didn't move an inch as he stared at the girl approaching him. Who is she? Her face doesn't look familiar.“Excuse me, sir,” the girl waved.“Yes?” Aidan responded with a frown face.“Sorry, if I may ask, are you Mr. Aidan Frederick?” she inquired with a low voice, hoping that she wasn't mistaken this young man for Aidan.Aidan was confused as he couldn't tell who this girl was. An old friend? An ex-schoolmate? A business partner? Which one?“Who are you? And how may I help you?” he finally asked, as he was still unsure if he had ever seen this face somewhere. He was unable to recall knowing her.To his greatest amazement, the girl rushed and hugged him tightly. Aidan was stunned by her action as he stiffened with his mouth wide open.Who on earth is this girl who didn't introduce herself before asking for a handshake, rather than hugging him?Aidan didn't hug her back as he was lost in thoughts.After the girl was satisfied with the hug, she finally freed him and raised her gaze to him. She sighed in relief as she tried to calm herself down.“Can you please stop wandering around and tell me who you are?” he asked her.“Well, in order not to delay your time, I will speak out,” she responded with a smile curving her lips.“Good,” Aidan muttered.“I'm by name Sharon.” she started.“ Ten years ago when you were a teen, you saved me from the hands of gangsters who attacked me on my way home after closing from school,” she explained.“Me? Save you from gangsters?” he asked hesitantly.“ I can't remember saving someone from thugs, though,” he retorted.“Well, I'm not surprised that you have forgotten. But this happened when you were still a teenager. After saving me from their hands, you gave my family a hundred thousand dollars.” she told him and he lowered his gaze to the ground.He seems to have been thinking about Sharon's saga.“Huh? I once did such a thing. Then why am I not remembering?” he mumbled.“Sir,” she called out reverently.“ with this money, my family is now among the richest families in the city.” she joyfully explained to him.Aidan chuckled and wore a wide smile and then laughed before hugging her.“ I remember.” he whispered to her ear.“Ohh really?” She was happy to hear that.“ Yeah.” he nodded and let go of her.Aidan was also happy that they are now rich, not like when he knew them before. Their life was a pity when Aidan went to her house after rescuing her from the bad gang.“And for this reason, I must repay you back,” Sharon said happily, and Aidan chuckled and licked his lower lip.“You know what, you are going with me to a business party that is going to start in the next few hours.”“What?” Aidan was shocked to hear that. Despite how dirty he looked, she wanted to walk with him like this without minding his dress.“I must apologize, but I can't go,” he announced, and Sharon's face changed.“No, don't say that, please. Unless you want me to get mad at you.” she protested.“Don't you see how I look?”“You aren't that bad, and besides we won't take much time at the party, and we would leave, please.” she pleaded, but Aidan wanted to prove stubbornness.“Since my words won't help, I think this will work,” she said and grabbed Aidan's hand and dragged him to the car.Aidan could do nothing but agreed to go since she insisted.After making sure that Aidan had entered the car, she slowly closed the car door and childishly smiled at him before walking to the driver's seat.Sharon sat down in the car and ignited the car key and started the engine. Within minutes, they have covered a wide pace from where they met earlier.On their way to the party, Sharon told Aidan about her family life. How they used the money he gave them and invested in the business.Now they control many important businesses in the city, and the party was for those potential business partners.Listening to Sharon, it seems like his wife's company was trying to be one of their business partners. Will his wife be at the party today?That's what Aidan couldn't tell. But he has to get there first before he can tell whether she's around or not.However, there was no doubt that Kate would be there. She won't afford to lose this opportunity of partnering with Sharon, who was already a successful business lady with big companies.Such an opportunity can't be joked with. So, it's best to say that his wife will definitely be there at the party.In the evening, they arrived at the party after a long ride, however, at the gate of the party place, Aidan met his ex-wife, and also another young man with her.Immediately Kate set eyes on Aidan, she frowned and began wondering what he had come to do there. He should realize that such places are not for people like him.Maybe, he still thinks they are still married, which gave him the guts to come there. He should wake up from his sleep.He should realize that they are not on the same level. She isn't the Kate he knew before, she's now a changed person, and he should know that.Again, Kate was angry because Aidan attacked her younger brother for no reason. Or maybe he was angry at her, which made him do that.Kate couldn't tell what was going on with Aidan. They just got divorced, and he is already harming her family members. He shouldn't try that nonsense! Aidan smiled to himself after seeing the smirk on Kate's face when their eyes met. He knew she was unsettled and shocked to s
At the party, Kate was a bit excited because she was a big fan of the girl who owns the Charles' family company. The shocking thing was that Kate wasn't aware that she had met this girl at the gate. She sat as she patiently waited for the arrival of the girl, so she could meet her in person.This was the first time she was going to partner with this big company, and she felt like a dream come true. It will be a great pleasure to partner with them and earn more revenue for her company.As she sat with Antonio by her side, her phone began ringing, and she quickly unzipped her purse and took out the phone.A smile curved her pink lips after setting eyes on the caller ID. She stood up to go outside, so she could pick up the call.The reason was that the blaring of the sound from the party wouldn't allow her to hear what the caller would say, and it was an important call she wouldn't want to ignore.“ Hey, where are you going?” Antonio held her hand from behind, and she abruptly stopped.
Everything was lost within a day. Everything… She divorced her husband, and got a last contract from the Fredericks' company; now her name wasn't found in the Charles' family business partners. What a sad day!Kate's body went cold as tears trickled down her cheeks. Everything on her became heavy to carry.Antonio, on the other hand, was short of words, there was nothing he could do to comfort her now. This was her last hope, and it slipped off her hand.“ Take me home,” her low voice echoed in Antonio's ears as she felt on his body, looking lifeless.“ Be strong, and take it as part of life, babe,” he encouraged her, but words of encouragement weren't her problem at that moment.“ I said take me home!” she shouted at Antonio, and he winced inside as if she wanted to punch him.“ I will do just that,” he assured her and placed his left hand around her waist, and took her right hand and placed it across his neck. He began walking her to the exit. She was so weak that she found it hard
As Sharon drove Aidan home, she could feel how he was filled with anger. There was no trace of happiness on his face.Sharon was scared to talk to him, so he wouldn't get angrier because he didn't look like someone who would reply to her amid this critical situation. He looks hurt, heartbroken, and betrayed. One doesn't need to ask about that because it was written all over his face.Sharon couldn't help but stare at Aidan, who has been staring at a ring he placed on his palms.This tells Sharon that the divorce took place that very day. No doubt about that.Seeing him in this mood, Sharon thought music would at least help, so she decided to play music as she drove, but he didn't seem to move by the music.However, he didn't hesitate to give her directions to his house. That was the number one important thing he must do so he could get home. Take left, take right; make a U-turn, and so on. She needed it to locate his house, or else, they would get lost because she didn't know his hou
It was evening. Aidan, his mother, and his younger sister were sitting in the mansion garden. Aidan's mother, Mrs. Frederick had called Aidan to hear what happened in the past three years of him being away from home. “ Aidan,” Mrs. Frederick called out as she rested her hand on the table before them.“ What exactly happened? Because if I can recall, you told me you are married, but the lady you came with had left. So what are you saying?” she inquired.“ Hmm,” Aidan sighed as he tried hard not to remember what Kate and her family had done to him.“ Big bro,” Catherine called for his attention and asked.“ Where is your wife and who is she?” Aidan chuckled and responded.“ Her name is Kate, a poor man's daughter who lost her father a few years ago because of kidney cancer, as I once told you before I left. I came in contact with her when I went for a walk outside the estate.” he began explaining how he met her. “ I met this young lady bitterly weeping by the roadside, and I felt sorry
It was another beautiful morning and the day Mr. Donald had asked Kate to come over to the Frederick's family Company headquarters.She had been eagerly waiting for this day, and it was like it was delayed. Her business can't just die like that. No! Kate took a quick shower and slid into her black suit and her black flat-footed shoes. She wanted to dress smart and look beautiful. Who knows, if this boss might fall in love with her?She grabbed her purse, phone, and car key and ran downstairs.“ Sis, isn't it too early for you to go to the company?” Felix asked as he ate his breakfast at the dining table.“ Late?” she mouthed.“ It's thirty minutes past seven O'Clock,” she responded.“ Alright, you are good to go, then,” said Felix." By the way, good luck,” he added.“ Thank you,” she appreciated.“ please inform Mom that I have gone if she comes out.”“ Okay,” Felix nodded and concentrated on the food before him.Within minutes, Kate was already on the expressway. She was driving as tho
“ Don't dare, Kate.” Aidan warned.“ Get out of my office." He commanded the last time before pushing her out of his office and locking it inside.Kate dragged her legs to the elevator as tears trickled down her cheeks. What has she done to herself? If she had known.She pressed the elevator button and the door opened and she stepped in. Kate shut her eyes and took a deep breath before breathing out. After a few minutes, she arrived at the down floor. She sniffed and used the back of her hand and cleaned her tears so that no one would notice it.She walked past Lily, the receptionist, without telling her goodbye. However, Lily called, but she never responded.Before the security at the exit could open the door, she forcefully pushed it and walked out. She was furious that she wished no one would dare talk to her that day. Immediately she got to where she parked her car, she brought out the car key from her purse and inserted it in the door lock.As she was about to open the door, a h
“ Huh?” Felix mouthed.“ you are kidding, right?” he chuckled as he asked.“ I'm not.” she smirked.“ he owns the company that has been sending me contracts,” she explained.Mrs. Emily was already shivering in shock, knowing that Kate won't play with such news. She won't lie to them about such a thing.The living room went completely silent as if no one were inside of it. The only sound one could hear was their breath. “ How is this possible, Kate?” Mrs. Emily inquired to cure her curiosity.She couldn't imagine someone who lived like a slave in her house, suddenly become a billionaire overnight after chasing him out of the house. “ Why am I finding this funny?” said Felix with a chuckle.“ I'm wondering how possible this is. Sis, are you sure you didn't mistake Aidan's lookalike for him?” he questioned, as he wasn't ready to accept what she told them.“ Stop blackmailing me as a liar,” she replied with a grin.“ Do I look
