The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Forty-Four
"Holy crap! Ethan Clay, is that you?” Another of her friends asked, looking disgusted by the stains on his shirt.Mallory’s face turned bright red as she swelled up in wrath. She unknowingly gripped her fists as she matched toward Ethan grabbing him.“What is the meaning of this embarrassment!?” “Why do you look all filthy? And why are you running in here after him?!” She queried him furiously.Her friends threw glances at them and passed side talks between them.“The Hartford’s are really losing their touch. I mean look at what's been happening with the family for the past weeks…” “And look at her husband,” The other said as she arched her mouth to his dirty clothes.“Ethan, what happened to those files I asked you to bring along?” Aidan busted in as Mallory angrily whisper-yelled at him.“I… Thought you didn't need them, so I left them in the car” Aidan scoffed and shook his head. “Why are you behaving like an idiot… Oh, wait!” He mockingly tapped his forehead. You are an idiot,

“Ethan, this is a prank, right? You're going to tell us at some point what the play is right?” One of his friends jumped up the instant he introduced Aidan as his boss.“Because I don't understand why you would be bowing to this…” He paused as he felt breath on him, he spun around and saw Cole standing right behind glaring at him coldly. He gulped in fear and sat back down.“I don't understand this!” The other friend jumped up with full force. “Are you trying to ruffle us or what!?”“Look!” He pointed a finger at Aidan. “I'm Kyle, from one of the wealthy families in this City, and my father owns Asherkine Club, I'm sure you’ve heard of how prestigious and hot we are. He won't hesitate to lock you up if anything were to happen to us!” “Really? Hmmm” Aidan drawled as he goggled down the person defending his useless friends. He wondered where he heard that name before as the guy still keot on spitting. Aidan raked his brain until he remembered he heard it first at the Legacy ball–he m

Mallory’s POV Mallory had seen everything that was done to her husband by Aidan. She had secretly taken a taxi to follow him to wherever it was they were going. She got there and situated herself in the cafe that was opposite the restaurant he was in. Luckily for her, the cafe walls were half-glass giving the perfect view of the restaurant. She had waited patiently for them to show out as the only view she got was the restaurant's entrance. Her patience was almost running thin when she saw her husband; Ethan, running after Aidan like a slave.It vexed her greatly and to top it off, Aidan threw papers on his face on top of the humiliating scene that he poured on her in the presence of her friends.She had it up as her rage boiled in her stomach, her face turned sour and red. She waited for her husband to shamelessly go back inside leaving the rain before she ordered an Uber since she couldn't wait inside the rain to stop a taxi.The Uber arrived and she went straight to the Clayton

Aidan’s POV It was 6 in the morning, and the rays of sun seeped through the open crack of Aidan’s gray-colored window curtains and shone on his face. He squinted and closed them shut again before turning his head to the other side, away from the sun to continue his much-needed rest. He needed sleep. He was still recovering from the rays jolting him half-awake when his phone started ringing incessantly.“Ring!”“Ring!”He took a peek with one eye open in the direction of the ringing and cursed himself for not silencing it before he crashed the night. A whole week had passed since Mallory spilled all to Frederick and his plotting had finally ripened to pluck. During this whole time, Aidan had given Madam Doris a little breathing space, with Mr. Raymond digging up people that she duped out of medical insurance to testify against her when the time comes.“Christ! This is the first 6-hour length of sleep I can get since I got back to this City…” Aidan grumbled as he turned on his cozy be

“What do you mean by I'm too insignificant for him to send thugs after me?!” Casey jumped up from the couch, obviously peeved by what he said.Aidan sighed tiredly pinching the bridge of his nose and lowering his head.“Look, Casey, you're getting this all wrong…” He tried to take her hand gently to sit her back down but she shrugged his hand off.That somewhat annoyed him, as he was already having a sleep-deprived moody morning.“Look, Casey, before you came here, I had other things that needed my attention” Aidan stood up and brushed his shirt. “If you're not going to hear me out, then it's best I attend to that” “So whatever it is, is more important than the bruises on my delicate face, right?” Aidan placed a hand on his waist and sighed in frustration. He wasn't in the spirit for any argument whatsoever.“I see them, Casey… Okay, let's do it this way, how about you stay and wait for me, Elijah will take proper care of you till I get back. I'm sure you’ll be calmer then.” Case

“She just perfect, but you gotta come see this Boss, I caught one of the culprits, and you won't believe who the other one is” “You have to come see for yourself Boss” Cole spoke like the awe he got catching the culprit, took words right out of his mouth.Aidan was tempted to ask about the whereabouts of Casey but the way Cole spoke sounded like she was well. So the most important task now was dealing with this thug.“Where are you?” He asked him, rage churning in his stomach.Cole gave him the information regarding where they were. With that in hand, Aidan quickly ended the whole fiasco meeting and dashed out of the office. Malcolm was already warming the car up for him, as he knew the location too.30 minutes later, Aidan was at one of Ackerman Inc.'s newly purchased buildings, which they wanted to turn into apartment buildings, so for the main time, it was empty. He got down the moment the car came to a halt as he saw Cole standing by some rumble from the previous construction.

“Do you think these allegations being laid on Ackerman Inc. are true?” “I mean it's Frederick Clayton, he even had evidence, so it must be true” The guests at Emergande City's most populous TV show continued. The media has been tearing Ackerman to shreds since Frederick came out to give his little interview. Aidan was seated in his car driving back to the Ack Hotels because some potential clients of his had suddenly backed down because of the news circulating the media. He was fuming while in the car, so he decided to pop on his phone just to take his mind off only to be greeted by the stupid gossip show and blogs. He flung the phone on the side of the chair in a fit.He leaned forward and closed his eyes as he rubbed his hand through his hair as tiredness and weary set in on him. Casey had pulled the most stupid shit in the middle of all this and for what? He was displeased with her strongly and to top it off, his phone was ringing non-stop.He picked the last caller up in a fit
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Fifty-One
Aidan got back in the car as anger laced his face, he banged the door after him in vexation without even letting Cole do it. “Get me out of this place.!” He yelled at them. Malcolm didn't ask further questions as he already knew where their destination was and besides his boss wasn't in that type of temper to be asked silly questions. He just stepped on the gas and drove.The encounter with Doris had churned his stomach in the wrong way. He heaved furiously thinking about her stupid face and the fact that she wasn't even bulging on the whereabouts of his daughter. Another bolt of fury shot through him like thunder, as his temples pulsed dangerously when the thought of Rachel flashed through him. He squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to calm his pulse and release the tensions tied into knots inside him.As the car pulled into the Ack Hotel parking lot, he huffed out a sigh and stepped out of the car. Malcolm stayed back while Cole trailed behind him, still holding the cookie box a

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
Chapter Hundred And Three
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. But since she

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
