Inspector Lincoln slammed the door and took off his hand from Kate and gestured toward Aidan who had stood up from his seat. “What is the person demanding?” Inspector Lincoln curiously asked.“The person said I should come over to Eko Hotel to receive a message from one of their members and I should be fast about that. Secondly, I shouldn't call the police on this.” Aidan explained to Inspector Lincoln.“You know what, I'm taking this lady to the station and I will organize my colleagues on how this movement would be.” Inspector Lincoln explained.“But they said I shouldn't involve the police." He reminded Inspector Lincoln.“I know. They are afraid to be caught, but I know how to go about it. Don't just bother yourself about it.” Inspector Lincoln assured him. “Alright, let's do this,” said Aidan, and Inspector Lincoln nodded.They left the office and took the elevator that took them to the down floor. None of the employees was aware of this.However, Aidan didn't hesitate to inform
“How am I supposed to know?” Nurse Linda responded with tear-filled eyes.“Aren't you meant to be in the hospital by now? Who is checking my mom's drip?” The police officers allowed them to exchange words without being distracted. Aidan, on the other hand, was smiling because the two ladies recognized themselves. This proves that they are working together. “Your mom is discharged and I have closed from work.” Nurse Linda explained to Kate.“Then how did you end up here? Because I'm lost.” “I was on my way home and I decided to enter the Eko Hotel to buy ice cream for myself and my younger siblings. While I was still waiting for the ice cream seller to respond to me, a man suddenly grabbed my hands. Immediately, the police came out from nowhere and handcuffed me without a reason.” Nurse Linda explained to Kate.Even at this, Inspector Lincoln didn't say a word as he kept staring at them and listening to their conversation.“I think they mistook you for another person,” Kate suggeste
“What should we do with these ladies?” Inspector Lincoln asked Aidan. It was clear enough that none of them had a hand in what was happening. So the best thing was to let them go.“Release them,” Aidan responded and turned around and faced Kate.“ I have my eyes on you, Kate.” he seriously said.“Like seriously?” Kate muttered and lowered her gaze to Aidan, but he ignored her.“Forgive me, Miss Linda for this. They used you as a scapegoat to escape. And for this reason, I will give you a small amount of money for delaying your time.” Aidan announced and nurse Linda was overwhelmed.Immediately she was uncuffed, she jumped and hugged Aidan and appreciated him. She couldn't hide her happiness. “Thank you, sir, this means a lot to me, considering the background I'm coming from,” she said amidst tears.Aidan smiled coldly and gently patted her back.“ You are welcome. Once more, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. We were played by the kidnappers and you became the victim of their plan.” h
On arriving home, Kate angrily threw her handbag on one of the couches in the parlor. The housemaid was in the kitchen. Immediately she had the sound, she stomped out of the kitchen to check who it was.“Welcome, madam,” Mimi fearfully bowed down and greeted Kate. Kate's angry face terrified her which made her scared.“Like seriously? Are you telling me that you are still cooking?” she inquired scornfully.“Hmm… No, madam. I can serve you right away if you wish.” Mimi responded with a low tone as she played with her fingers.“Please do that. I'm starving,” said Kate and gestured to the dining room. “Okay, madam. I will do just that.” Mimi responded and left for the kitchen.Kate pulled one of the dining chairs and fell with her bum on it. She rested her back on it and sighed in relief.She was so exhausted and hungry that she couldn't ask about her mom or her younger brother. Her intention at the moment was to feed herself.Mimi served Kate, and within minutes she began devouring the
At 9:40 PM Aidan could be seen standing in the mansion compound with his mom and Sharon.Sharon didn't go back home, rather, she stayed back to see the end of everything. She couldn't afford to go back and leave Aidan alone in this critical situation. It won't speak well of her.“Best of luck, my heartthrob,” said Sharon to Aidan as she buried her face in his broad chest.“Thank you, my love.” Aidan appreciated her with a whisper.After hugging her for a minute, he also embraced his mother who was shedding endless tears for her son who was going to face dangerous men just to save his sister.“Aidan, my dear son,” Mrs. Frederick called amidst tears.“ I pray for your safety. Be careful.” That was all she said and Aidan nodded.After hugging her, Aidan took one of his cars and zoomed out of the mansion without taking any of his bodyguards along.It was exactly 10:00 PM and Aidan was already standing before the magnificent Truezoom Hotel building as he waited to be told what to do next.Su
Aidan delayed time to buy the pen. Nevertheless, they got eyes on him, so there was no way he could play smart at them because they are used to this. It's their job.After minutes of getting the pen, Aidan came back and entered the room. He stood inside the room and sighed heavily. He switched on the room lights and then walked up to the bed and picked up the papers and began to sign. He signed as instructed.Immediately he was done, he dropped the papers on the bed and stood with his arms akimbo as he gazed at the already signed papers by him.The sound of clapping hands echoed from his phone. This tells that the lady was clapping because he had done a great job by signing the papers.“Well done job, Aidan.” her voice vibrated the phone and Aidan could feel her happiness even though he wasn't seeing her. But her response from the phone was enough to tell him how the lady feels at the moment. Indeed, this is what is called making others cry just to achieve your heart's desire.She wa
At dawn, Aidan was sleeping on the king-size bed looking exhausted by what happened the previous day. It was one of the most miserable days he had ever had.The worst days of his life were when he lost his father when he got divorced by Kate and of course the kidnapping of Catherine. These three events hurt him more than he can imagine.However, no one knows what will happen hereafter.As far as life is concerned, fate can display itself at any moment without informing us when it's coming.One ought to always be prepared for whatever would come his way so it would be easy to figure out how to deal with any issue that confronts him. “Hello, my heartthrob, kindly wake up. Your breakfast is ready,” a romantic voice echoed in Aidan's ears.Unfortunately, he thought he was dreaming which made him ignore the voice.“Mr handsome, wake up and eat breakfast before you starve in your dream,” Sharon said once more and climbed the bed.She lightly tapped him on the shoulder to wake him, but he di
Aidan brought out his gold-plated phone from his pocket and checked the caller's ID. As his instinct told him, that was what he saw. The mysterious lady…At least, she used the phone number she called him the previous night. “Is the call not important? Why are you ignoring it?” Sharon asked, confused why Aidan kept staring at the phone without picking it up. Aidan smiled awkwardly without responding to the call until it stopped ringing. He then put it on vibrating mode to avoid noise.He continued to eat his food and the lady's call came in again. Immediately Aidan noticed it, gritted his teeth, and frowned but none of the people sitting at the dining table with him saw it.“Gosh,” Aidan exhaled and clasped his palms against his forehead.“What's it, big bro?” Catherine curiously inquired and gazed at him.“I just remembered that I have a meeting with some business partners today in the office. Now, my manager is calling to inform me.” Aidan lied.“Ohh, I'm sorry about that. Why no
