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
Human beings are wicked and heartless.“You?” Aidan finally muttered after staring at the lady for what seemed like ages.“Yes, me, boss,” she happily responded to him with a teasing chuckle as she covered the space between the two of them.Aidan clenched his fist furiously as his teeth clunk against each other because of how angry he was.It was as if he should punch her in the face.“Anna…” Aidan called out through gritted teeth.“Yes, that's my name, Mr. Aidan. I was one of your employees, but currently, I'm your wife. So, call my name with some respect, please.” she smirked.“So you go to this extent despite sending double of your salary to you?” he questioned scornfully.“Aidan, do you think I seek employment in your company just because I wanted to work there? Nah, I had a different mission that's why I sought a job in your company. Unfortunately, immediately after you employed me, you traveled for an errand for three years without returning. Only God knows how angry I was during
As soon as they stepped into the hall, everyone started applauding as they majestically walked to a place designated for them.The guests splashed thousands of money on them as they walk to their seats and dancing to the background music.Anna appears to be the happiest lady on earth at the moment. She could see her dream coming through as she wanted it.It was always her wish to marry a rich man. Unfortunately, she was lying to Aidan that she doesn't love him because of his money.However, she didn't only love him because of his money, but he was also handsome and every lady's dream.A rich young handsome looking man with a kind heart. Which woman wouldn't want that? They settled down in their seats. Looking behind of them there was a lady dressed in red gown. She was Anna's bridesmaid.She was sitting with some of her colleagues who were also Anna's close friends.On the other hand, a group of young men in dark suits sat behind them as they were eager for the ceremony to commence.A
She knew that her dreams had been shattered, but no, she wouldn't let it go just like that. It can't be possible.Unfortunately, Anna was only concerned about the space left for Aidan to sign that she didn't bother to check what she wrote. She never thought that Aidan would dare to change anything in the papers.Her curiosity was only on the signature and nothing more. Immediately she saw that she was satisfied without checking any more things. Indeed, the issue of keeping the file for Aidan to sign and forgetting to drop a pen along really ruined her plan.However, Anna discusses this with her unknown lawyers who are ready to defend her despite her being an offender about the marriage of a thing .She informed them that after Aidan had signed the papers, she would take it to them to see them in case they might need evidence in the future.Unfortunately, Anna didn't do that after Aidan had signed it. She was blinded with love that she didn't think about taking those files to her lawye
Anna couldn't tell when tears escaped her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She was still in shock and panic.Nonetheless, one could also see fear written all over the guests' faces. Their facial expressions could tell that some of them are guilty of what was happening currently.“Are you surprised?” Aidan jested at her and let go of her hand.“ Always think twice before you act. Never hurt someone just to get what you desire. It's obvious that your parents didn't train you correctly. You need more home training, Anna. You are a disgrace to your gender and the society at large.” Aidan spat out every word with anger.Endless tears flowed down her cheeks as stood helpless and shameful.No escape!“Inspector Lincoln,” Aidan called out.“ Here is the lady that has been tormenting me and giving me a restless mind. Secondly, she has team members, which I know so well that some of them are in this hall among these guests. Now, I handle this case into your hands to make a thorough investigation a
Was her ear paining her or what? Is she dreaming? No, this must be a dream. How can he just come and the first thing he wants to greet her with is to sack her without stating the reasons?“But sir…” “Hey! No excuse Kate,” he warned.“ I'm busy now, you will receive your salary alert later. In fact, I'm going to triple it and send it to you. So just go and let me rest, please.” he seriously said to her.She blinked her eyes repeatedly and sniffed as she stiffened in one position with tears dripping down her cheeks. It seems like what her Mom said about her grandma's curse is already on display in her life. Why can she get employed and it isn't up to a month now and Aidan wants to sack her?She thought he was angry at her because he mistook her for the mysterious lady who was after his life. Now that he has found out the truth, why is he still angry at her? Kate couldn't tell what was happening.Upon seeing that Kate wasn't ready to go out of his office, he stood up and yelled at he
After closing from work, Kate followed Aidan. Although, she was unsettled in the car when she followed him but then what can she do? It has become mandatory for her to go and plead with Mrs. Frederick. Maybe she will listen to her, or else Kate will spend her life in the streets begging for food.On their way to Aidan's house, they entered the same car. Unfortunately, none of them say a word to the other person. Rather they remained silent from the company headquarters to Mr.Frederick's mansion.Their focus was on their phones, rather than bringing up a conversation to keep the place lively.Kate could only imagine how they would have been driven home with Aidan like this if they were still married. It would have been nice, but currently, they are no longer couples. Maybe that's why they find it difficult to talk to each other.After a few minutes of riding around the city, they finally arrived at Mr. Frederick's mansion.Immediately the mansion gate was opened Aidan didn't hesitate
Instead of starting to move out of the house, Kate stiffened in one position as tears flowed down her cheeks as she gazed at Mrs. Frederick with a worrisome and pleading expression.If only this woman knows how she needs this job, she won't say this to her, rather, she might even get promoted so she can earn more money.On the other hand, Aidan stood speechless as he watched Kate with sympathy, but there was no way to make his mother understand what Kate was going through at the moment.He wished he could explain things to his Mom, but she wasn't ready to listen to both of them.“You ingrate,” Mrs. Frederick finally ended the long silence and eased the tension in the room.“ Are you not ashamed of yourself, huh? My son lowered himself to your class level just to help you out of your poverty, yet you all decided to pay him back in humiliation. Causing him to feel like a nobody and unwanted." The woman who was in her early fifties raged at Kate.Unfortunately, Kate couldn't bear the insul
