After the debacle at the mall, Aidan made it to the headquarters building of Ackerman Inc. "Wow!" Aidan gasped as he saw the building. It was in the prosperous and luxurious part of Emergande City. It was located right at the center of it. The building stood towering over the others–proud and headstrong. His father had already made preparations for his takeover. Aidan was speechless. No wonder the man had so much power" He thought to himself as soon as he saw the entourage waiting for him. Immediately his car pulled into the private parking lot of the company, and the General Director was waiting diligently for him alongside the employees. The man dressed in a smart expensive suit ran towards his car, bowing himself. "I'm Mr Milton Sam. I'm sorry about the traffic that delayed you." Aidan got down and saw the man looked familiar. He was an old but sturdy man. "Mr. Milton?" He resounded surprised. Aidan remembered him from when he worked for the Hartfords. They had accused him o
Madam Doris walked in with a victory face as she kept rewatching the video that she asked her assistant to release a while ago. She kept smiling to herself as she knew this was a very huge slap on Aidan's face which would take him a while to resolve.She watched as a long list of bloggers reposted and tagged Aidan over and over again.She was still in her happy mood when Mallory walked in with two shopping bags in her hands.“Mother, tell me it's not true, how dare that good-for-nothing boy raise his hand and touch you, has he forgotten who you are?" She said with an angry face and Madam Doris could not help but laugh. She patted her side and beckoned to Mallory to sit down. Mallory was quick to hand over the bags to a maid and went to sit beside Madam Doris.“It's just a make-believe video, you should know that boy has no mind to even look me in the eye but he seems to be more to what the eyes see now and he is trying to get back at me"But he has long forgotten that I am a champion
Erica looked at her mother with disdain as she picked her bag from her seat and faced the door.“If you are so eager to have grandchildren to play with, accept Racheal. I will not give birth to another child just to satisfy your wants and needs. The earlier the better” she said and Madam Doris was pissed off again."What! Are you insane? How dare you speak like a fool! You are not ready to give birth to a child for your husband because of a mistake!” She yelled and immediately Erica looked back in fury.“Take that back mum, my child is never a mistake, and I will choose the time I want to give birth to another child, it is none of your business, you want a child faster, you either love Racheal like a grandmother should or tell that one who has refused to reproduce either by choice or by fate to find something doing."I am not interested in anything you have to say," Erica said scornfully. Madam Doris angrily banged the chair again in a fit over what her daughter just said. If only she
"Tell me everything you have about Ethan,” Aidan said calmly. Mr. Milton smiled and responded after taking a sip of his wine. “There is a lot, he is an easy person to catch as his atrocities are out there for all to see. He thinks he's hiding them well but you'll be surprised as to how easy it was to get my hands on this information." He spoke as he munched on and continued his meal.Aidan snickered. “I have always known he is a dumbass with his shit, always bragging” He dropped his spoon as he wiped his mouth and turned his gaze to Mr. Milton.Mr. Milton continued. “He is a questionable character, and to worsen the matter, he is spending his company funds…" He dropped the spoon and gulped water to push down the spoonful he swallowed. "Including other members of the board's investment funds in gambling and he is far gone as he can’t be revived at this point”Aidan was taken aback, surprise plastered across his face. “He gambles?” He asked. Mr. Milton looked up as he was surprised th
The car pulled over in front of a luxury building, it was a three-story building with a nice Italian restaurant on its first floor, and a bar on the second floor. The Casino was situated on the third floor, only elite members of the Emergande City had access to the Casino. Mr. Milton had to forewarn the head of the casino regarding Aiden's coming.Aiden and Mr. Milton walked into the building, leading towards the elevator, three men stood in front of the elevator waiting for it to open."I wonder what a loser like you could probably be doing here" One of the men said upon seeing him."But he's dressed up so clean, what store let you rent this?" The second one added sarcastically as he stretched out his hand to touch Aiden's clothes.In an instant, Aiden held his hand halfway mid-air twisting it backwards, completely taking the man off guard."Arghh!...""Release me this instant you God forsaken…" His words trailed off from the unbearable pain he felt. But Aiden didn't let him loose,
Adan was appalled by this new attack by Madam Doris. He chuckled to himself. "She's relentless. I thought she would cower and give me what I want, it seems like she just doesn't care."Mr. Milton creased his face and raised a brow. "I think she cares. If I know her, she wants to test your limits."He scoffed, his breath heavy. "Test my limits?" His eyes widened with each pulse. "Oh, my limits are tested alright." "That bitch!" He fumed."Mr. Raymond is already with your father. He said that Madam Doris's lawyer sent a bunch of incriminating files to him to ruin any good ties you must have created with Ackerman." Mr. Milton moved further away from Aidan. "I don't think she believes you're the true heir." He snorted.Ethan who was still on his knees, raised himself, adjusted his shirt, and chuckled wickedly. "Look at you quivering. I thought you were the big bad wolf." He walked closer to Aidan and locked eyes with him. "You might have won this game and embarrassed me here, but guess
He took sips from his glass of bourbon and dropped the glass back on the table. He took the phone and perused the article news written under the headline."Find out about the guy he assaulted, the news said he pressed charges.""Yes Sir, you'll get feedback first thing tomorrow morning" Mr. Raymond stood and walked out of the study leaving him and his father.As soon as Mr. Raymond left, a knock was heard on the door, and upon entry showed Mr. Elijah–The butler."Your room is set, Sir," He said bowing his head to Aidan. Aidan turned to his father and raised a brow."I commanded a room be set up for you since this house is practically yours."He stood from his seat and walked close to Aidan. "This is your house as much as it's mine, so I made them prepare it for you" He got closer to him and patted him on his shoulders.Aidan shrugged, he had an easiness in his stomach. He had never been treated as such all his life and now life brought him a father when he needed it the most. He patted
Erica went silent, she swallowed her words as her mother continued pouring her rage on her. "I'm sorry Mother.." She drawled, her voice breaking at every word she spoke but her Mother didn't give a hoot as to what was wrong with the sadness in her voice seeping through the phone."He came back yesterday, he's in his office now…" She trailed her words, dragging snorts at each word.Her mother's spirit lifted when she heard Frederick Clayton was around. She beamed through the phone. "Set a meeting with him" She harshly ordered her daughter."What?... You're joking, right? I can't do that, just set up a meeting…" She was cut short by her mother mid-sentence.Madam Doris scoffed. "Then let your husband know, set it through him."Erica sighed heavily through the phone and went silent until her mother yelled her back into reality. Her Mother's yell startled her so greatly that the phone fell from her hands onto her thighs. She picked it up and heard a raging Madam Doris over the phone. "I
