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 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

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

    Sir Frederick growled. "You deceived me, Doris…" His tone was stiff and gruff. "I selected your family because of the honor and dignity you possessed, but deceiving me this way…""Tsk…Tsk…" He sucked his teeth.Madam Doris was uneasy, she felt so uncomfortable in her seat, it felt like little pins were sticking out and piercing the shit out of her. She bowed her head from him to avoid his gaze. Even though she was scared of how he might react, it was better to let him deal with Aidan before he ruined her.Silence fell in the room and Frederick gritting and clenching his jaw could be heard until he talked finally."How could you let such a loser go scot-free to have so much power to threaten and blackmail you?" He strolled back to his cigar away from the window, picked up one, and lit it up.Madam Doris finally spoke up as the atmosphere in the room became stuffy–not because of the smoke from the cigar but because she was uneasy from Sir Frederick's aura."I'm sorry Sir, I thought he w

    "Unfinished business?" Jeremy said scornfully as he growled. "What is the meaning of this Ethan," He scowled at him.Ethan stuttered and mumbled his expressions. "Let me help him out," Aidan smirked as he spoke. "He sought for…" He drawled and chuckled lightly. "He has been begging and sending emails for the past two months to invest in his company." As Aidan spoke, Jeremy's face turned sour. He furrowed his brows and looked at Ethan disdainfully. "What the hell is he talking about? If you've done this, why then did you call me over to invest?" "I made it clear to you that I want to be the only one investing" Ethan was dumbfounded as Jeremy spoke, he didn't even give him a chance to explain himself.Jeremy, after spitting furiously on Ethan, turned his gaze to Aidan. "It's obvious this idiot doesn't know where his loyalties lie." He looked over at Ethan disgustingly and continued speaking. "Well, let's settle this.

Madam Doris was lying on her bed with the doctor sitting beside her and checking her blood pressure. The lawyer stood on the balcony entrance leading out of the bedroom.Mallory rushed to her mother's side and held her arm caressing it. "You shouldn't exert yourself so much Mom, you're a doctor, you should know this better than anyone…" Mallory was talking with concern but her Mom wasn't ready for that when she cut her sentence short and wriggled her hand from her daughter's grip.She snorted and scowled at her. "Why won't I exert myself when your husband is hell-bent on ruining me? Look at him" She shifted her gaze from Mallory to Ethan who had stopped at the door entrance like some criminal who was caught red-handed. "He's been on the news these past days and not for good reasons"She turned her stare back at Mallory. "My name has been so tainted that I lost

    He turned around and saw Casey standing, holding a shopping bag. Adorning an all-black bodycon gown, her blonde hair flowed freely down her back. She wore a pink leather jacket to complement the floor-length bodycon gown.“What are you doing here? In these luxurious shopping parts of the City?” She asked as she strides closer to him.“She looks sexy,” Eileen said, smacking her lips and looking into her brother’s eyes with a smug grin on her face. “Wipe that smugness off!” He commanded in a hushed whisper. Eileen giggled and stood beside him.“Casey! It's been a while, I should have been the one asking you since this part isn't normally your jurisdiction.” He extended his arms and accepted the hug she brought.She looked different, not like the stern, straightforward doctor he meant almost a year ago. Her dark hair was blonde now and she was dressed in her usual business-looking outfits, but rather a casual one. It was a new look for Aidan.“I remember you.” She pointed to Eileen, wa

    “Oh my God!” She jumped back and quickly deterred her eyes by covering them with her hands.“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know” She turned quickly and closed the door behind her.Aidan fell on her neck as he was still on top of her, buried deep inside of her. His hot breath continued down her neck as he heaved up and down, trying to find a calm pace for his panging chest. She chuckled. “Busted, no more hiding from her then.” She said and wrapped her legs around him, bringing him in the more. He turned to look at her and his expression was different as his dick became flaccid inside of her. It fell out itself even with her moving her waist herself to continue what Eileen had interrupted.“What is it?” She asked as he removed her wrapped legs and sat at the edge of the bed, using the sheets to cover his semi-hard dick. He rubbed his hands through his hair and sighed a weary sigh.“We shouldn't have done this, Eileen coming in here was a wake-up call” Erica was flabbergasted, and he

He saw Erica turn to get an eyeful of him. They both locked eyes and after what felt like forever, she left the two of them. Aidan shook his head after, he knew why she was leaving but that was low of her to bring it up at this point when Eileen just learned about the life her mother lived and how evil and heartless her birth father was. Erica always finds a way to squeeze herself in. “You know she's right” “What?” He squinted his lids and narrowed his eyes after what Eileen said broke his thoughts. But he didn't quite catch it, hence he asked again. “She has to leave.” “You know what, Eileen, enough!” He wagged his hand in an

    Aidan's POVAt The Ackerman EstateA couple of weeks had passed since Jeremy’s final verdict, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, a worse punishment than the one labeled on his father. The City was in awe of the vile things that were published about how the family ran their businesses. People Jeremy had wronged, got their little bit of peace back and some money for compensation. Frederick Clayton was made to pay back the people who he wrongfully took money from the sum of 400 million dollars in total. It was a lot, even for Frederick. The authorities spared no time in bundling up their houses and taking them up as their own, leaving no stone unturned.The little left behind was given to Eileen and also surprisingly there was a trust fund with her mother's name which with the help of Aidan’s attorney, she was able to open and access for her art career.“Daddy…” Rachel exclaimed happily as she leaped out of Eileen’s side onto the bed where they both lay, while Erica sat in the vanit

    Mallory’s POV “Ew. Ew! Ew!” She exclaimed as she jittered her heels across a puddle to enter the bus taking her to the prison where her mother was serving her sentence. Her mother had been leaving calls for her to come to see her, but she'd been ignoring them hoping they would go away because she didn't want to be associated with or even tied to her mother again. She finally went reluctantly when the mother told her there was something important that she needed to learn about a stack of money she kept in case of unforeseen circumstances. And being that she was flat broke, she picked up her bag and scurried to get to her mother just so she could claim the money.“Princess? Is this place too filthy for you?” One of the passengers asked as she cracked up at her.She jerked her jaw and scoffed as she found a free seat to sit down.“This is taken…” Another scooted to the free seat from the window side he sat at, frowning at her.“I don't understand…” She huffed a sigh. “How can this be t

    Aidan’s POV A whole month had passed since he got Frederick and his cohorts arrested. Madam Doris was sent to jail to spend the next ten years of her pathetic life behind bars without the possibility of parole or even a retrial. Jeremy was still on trial, and this was the last day of his trial where he would be convicted of his numerous crimes. They were the most grotesque crimes ever. He was practically the enforcer of his father, no wonder the man always kept him on his side and without a leash because he carried out the most heinous crimes or got whoever would agree when he could not do it himself for him.Aidan had been going to court since their trial, not because it was necessary but to see the downfall on their faces when they were finally convicted. And boy! Did Frederick feel like he had lost a huge battle he thought he’d already won? He looked dejected like he had lost a fight with a grizzly bear he underestimated. His snares and glare did little to nothing to him as he was

    Aidan’s POV The roads leading to the judge’s house were dry and flaky and carried all the dust that could last a lifetime. Although the roads were beautified with tall luxurious trees, they did little to nothing to hide the ugly of the road. No wonder she came out here to hide because no one would dare or even think about coming to the hell hole. As the cars were skidding down the dusty ass road, he received a text.“We're done Sir, taking her home now”It was from Cole, he had been receiving texts from him at every interval to know what she was doing and if the meeting she insisted on was over even though it was against his wish. He flipped his phone that he placed on the empty back seat and checked the notification. He smirked as he saw and left the phone back.The car hit a bump and he made a wince sound. The driver heard.“I'm sorry Sir, I didn't see that curve on time, this road is rough” “Just shut up and drive” He rolled his eyes and went back to perusing the stack of papers

    Erica’s POVThe news of Frederick Clayton’s arrest broke through the City like wildfire. It was the talk of the whole City for anyone who cared enough to listen and everyone cared to listen, from the media, the news stations, the cafes, the streets, roads, and every corner that had people in it, talked about Clayton's downfall. It was horrendous and they ate it up like the sweetest meal ever. The videos circulating and making media rounds made everything worse. So bad that anyone who was affiliated with them had to either detach themselves or hide their head. Some even had to go as far as running away from the City just so their name was savaged from the whole saga.“We are here Ms. Erica,” Cole said to her as they got to the police station. It's been almost two weeks since the arrest of the mighty family of Emergande, her mother had already been convicted and sentenced to jail without bail for ten years and also a fine of 200 million dollars had to be paid back by her.

    It was Ethan upon further look. He had suddenly parked his car right in front of Aidan’s as they were pulling out of the hospital premises. Aidan was furious at this act of his. To make matters worse, the paparazzi were right behind his car, looking for the easiest scoop of news they could grasp their hands on. “Let him in” He reluctantly said to Malcolm. This whole shit show was irritating the living daylight out of him. Malcolm did as was instructed and Ethan hopped into the backseat with no hesitation and the car pulled away, maneuvering the paparazzi.“Are you out of your damn mind?! What the fuck do you think you would achieve by doing that?! Is that Doris’s last attempt to escape the law?!” Aidan was furious. His vein throbbed as he brawled on him.Ethan cowered to the very end of the seat he sat on. He gulped down, knowing well he was wrong for even making such a useless and daring attempt. But he had to, that was the only way he could get to see his boss and ask him for a fa
