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
Aidan’s POVAidan walks right past them and into the house, pretending he didn't hear, with an aching in his heart. “I uh… wished your mother lived a happy life, but she didn't and me being here, I'm not happy, I have to leave, and I don't know what better time to say it.” Erica sniffled and drew in a short as Aidan slowed his steps down to catch a breeze. 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
“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 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
AT The Hartford Estate. "There's the thief officers! Arrest him!" Raved Madam Doris. "What!" Aidan yelled. He was bewildered. Aidan, the live-in son-in-law of the Hartford family, had rushed home due to a horrific text he received from his wife Erica that their daughter Rachel had gone missing. He dropped everything he was doing at the Hartford hospital, and hurried home, only to meet police officers and every member of the Hartford family sitting in the exquisite sitting room, glaring at him disgustingly. Before he knew what was happening, the police lunged at him, and handcuffs were placed on him. Every finger of the members of the family except his wife was pointing at him-from Madam Doris; the head of the Hartford family to Mallory his sister-in-law and her sinister husband Ethan Clay accusing him of stealing a priceless necklace that had been in the family for generations and also looting hospital funds. Aidan has been the live-in son-in-law of the Hartford family for two y
"Hahaha! I see, this was the plan all along to get rid of me right? Aidan chuckled weakly from being pinned to the floor. "You shouldn't have gone this far". He said weakly. Madam Doris made a snap with her fingers to the policemen to raise Aidan to his knees. They obeyed like the lap dogs they were. Aidan felt blood in his saliva because of the forced struggle he had with the police. He felt so much rage boiling inside but he was helpless. "I'm not signing the papers until I see my daughter! I will never divorce Erica! I won't let my name be rolled in the mud this way for something I had no hand in." Madam Doris alongside her daughter Mallory laughed hysterically. "Name? What do you have attached to that useless name of yours? In terms of money, skills, and mastery, what have you offered huh?! Except for latching onto my useless daughter! You're as useless as a pen without ink" Madam Doris huffed and puffed indignantly. "I demand my daughter Rachel be brought to me!" He said in a
Aidan had been locked up for almost 24 hours until he was taken suddenly again to the officer's office which he later learned was the Chief police officer. Upon his arrival at the office, a middle-aged man got up and jumped on him, in a warm embrace. Aidan with a confused face looked up and down at him. "Remove those handcuffs immediately! Why is he still in them?" Commanded the man who had enclosed him in an embrace. Aidan wondered who he was to command such authority. In a split second, the cuffs were removed and Aidan massaged his wrists to relieve the pain inflicted on him by the cuffs. "Why I'm I here?" Aidan exclaimed. "If it's to force out some sort of confession from me to use against me then you're in for a long ride," He said, furrowing his brows in a scowl. "Confession?" No one is getting a confession out of you my son" "You don't know how long and hard I have searched for you and now, you're here right in my arms," The man said, smiling from ear to ear. Aidan looked
"What do you want from me?" Aidan asked after settling on what Robert said. "I want you to take over my company Ackerman Inc. worth over $700 billion. It's your inheritance and I want you to take it all." Wh…what?!" Aidan asked, flabbergasted. Aidan's eyes widened like they were about to pop out of their sockets. "No wonder he commanded so much power with the officers. He is bloody rich" Aidan muttered to himself. Robert chuckled softly seeing the expression on his face. "Yes son," He said, reaffirming him and folding his shoulders. "I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner and that you had to go through all you did but wealth and power are yours now" "What if the DNA results prove negative?" "Son, the tests are to put your mind at ease. I already know you're my son, no DNA required." He said happily. "Now, let's get you out of this God-forsaken place first" "Wait, I have to get my daughter first." "You have a daughter?" Robert was shocked at this revelation. An hour later, Aidan w
