“Officer, here is the younger man who had threatened to set my company ablaze,” said Aidan and pointed at Liam who was stepping out of the house.
Immediately, Liam had that, he frowned as he walked up to them.“Who are you and why are you accusing me of what I knew nothing about?” Liam yelled at Aidan through gritted teeth.Aidan didn't reply to him, rather, he allowed the police to take over because he already explained everything to them at the station.However, the only thing the police officers needed was to confirm from Liam whether what Aidan said was true or not before they would know what to do next.“Excuse me, sir,” said one of the police officers. “ Are you Mr. Liam by name?”“Why are you asking? Do I owe you anything? Do I look like an armed robber or what?” Liam bombarded the police officer with questions.He wasn't afraid because he was used to police approaching about being reported by someone, but he aOf course, Felix wasn't aware that the house address Charlotte sent to him was Liam's father's mansion address. The only thing that appeared to be strange to Felix was the estate address and not the house address because he never knew Mr. Sebastian's mansion address.It was when he arrived at the mansion that his eyes were opened, but he wasn't ready to go back without meeting Charlotte.Felix no longer fears Liam, even though he might be aware that Liam was searching for him.Thankfully, the estate gatekeepers already knew him because he always saw him with Liam every evening anytime he was being taken to the club for his usual work.Therefore, it wasn't hard for him to have access to the estate because the gatekeepers couldn't tell whether he was still working for Liam or not.Felix stiffened in his position without moving an inch, not because he was afraid of Liam for escaping from him or Aidan for stealing his wristwatch.The reason fear gripped Felix was because he saw the polic
Now, it was time for Aidan and Kate to return to their country. In the past few days, they lived in country B, it was never fun as before.This was the worst trip Aidan ever took since he started traveling with any of his current secretaries.Kate made things difficult for him because of her disobedience.Aidan and his workers were in the conference room for his farewell. It's time to address them one last time before leaving them until he comes again someday.He stood before them with a happy, yet a bit of sad expression because he was going to miss all his country B's workers. “Hello, everyone,” he started. “ As you might have been informed by the manager, today would be the last day we would see each other until I come again.”As soon as he mentioned that, some workers began murmuring as if they wanted him to stay back and not leave.Aidan paused and watched them exchanging words with one another with sad expressions.“I understand how you feel because I'm leaving. Well, as you al
Aidan and Kate arrived at Nasa city in the next few hours after leaving country B.Before they could arrive, Aidan's bodyguards were already waiting for his arrival at the airport to pick him home.However, Aidan didn't hesitate to inform the head guard to book a taxi to take Kate home. He was going to pay for it, no matter how much it cost.Immediately, his bodyguards spotted them, and they rushed to receive their luggage.“Welcome, boss,” the bodyguards in their black exquisite suits said and saluted in unison.“Thank you,” Aidan muttered with a happy, yet stressful expression because of the long journey they had.His luggage was taken to the car, while Kate's luggage was taken to the taxi that was booked for her.Within minutes, they were out of the airport as they headed in different directions.After a few miles of driving through the city, Aidan finally arrived home. Immediately, his mom, Catherine, and Sharon noticed his arrival, she came out of the house to welcome him.“Mom, b
Kate was lost in thoughts as she stiffened in one position despite how tired and hungry she was.Taking her Mom to the hospital didn't come to her mind, and neither did she think of checking on her mom or greeting her.Kate's mind was far away from her. Her entire body was weak as anger flushed through her like a fury furnace.“K-Kate,” Mrs. Emily finally managed and muttered her daughter's name, making Kate jump off her deep thoughts.“Y-yes, Mom,” she quickly answered and averted her gaze to her mother, whose eyes were growing weak.Kate squatted before her Mom and took one of her hands and cared for it.The maid gazed at them as she could tell that Kate was about to burst into tears because the visibility was there on her face.“What's wrong, Mom?” Kate asked as she fought the urge to suppress the tears that had gathered in her eyes.Before Mrs. Emily could open her mouth and answer her daughter, tears were already dripping down her cheeks.“I know your ex-husband, Aidan, confessed
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
