The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter One
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
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Three
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
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Five
Aidan stepped into the car where his father waited and banged the car door in a rage. "My son…" Robert noticed his face and patted him on his back. Aidan turned to face his father and he had a look of pity on him. It was as if he had witnessed everything firsthand himself. "I'm ready to be the son you want." "How much power do you really possess?" He asked. "More than the Claytons have. Why do you ask?" "Because I need it to make some people pay and wish they had never taken my Rachel away from me." He breathed heavily. The Roll Royce parked at the most luxurious hotel in the City. "We're here son" His father touched him as if to alert him. The ride had been a silent one since they left the Hartford estate. "Oh…" Aidan jerked as if brought back to reality by the touch. His father noticed the encounter with the Hartfords was taking a toll on him and showing. "I will get to the bottom of this" He muttered to himself. The door was opened by a man in a suit. As soon as he emerged
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Six
"I'm sorry Master Aidan. I wasn't thinking clearly. I only went in because I couldn't find you in the sitting room." She spoke politely while still bowing her head. Aidan's heavy breathing reduced a bit. He looked at her closely and for the first time, saw how beautiful and young she was for such a prestigious position as a high-level doctor. "You're forgiven." He replied calmly. "Now that you're calm, go put on some clothes so she can do her job. My attorney; Mr. Raymond, is here…" He said patting the short, sturdy man's shoulder. He looked like he meant business from his suit-up. Aidan nodded to Robert's words. Minutes later, the doctor was done collecting her samples from both Aidan and Robert. She packed up and apologized again before leaving. "I researched as Mr. Robert here instructed me yesterday" The attorney spoke up as soon as the doctor left. "From my sources, your daughter wasn't dropped into any orphanage. My guess is Madam Doris has her hidden in an unknown location.
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Seven
"Elusive huh" She laughed hysterically. She stared right into Aidan's eyes. "You might think you're elusive now but you're nothing but dust beneath my feet just like your miserable daughter who you'll never see again." Aidan snorted. "Dust?" He growled. "Yet you're threatened by my very presence, particularly since you have no idea how I got out of jail." Madam Doris, pained by those words, raised her hand to slap Aidan but her hand was held in mid-air. She looked and saw an emotionless Aidan with bloodshot eyes holding her hand. "The Aidan you knew is different from me. I would break you in an instant without remorse whatsoever." Aidan spoke harshly with red-hot eyes. Fear flashed in Madam Doris's eyes. Suddenly, Madam Doris broke into tears noticing people's eyes were now on them. "Oh my God! Is this how you treat your customers? He hit me, a poor old, helpless woman like me." She wriggled her hand from Aidan's grip. "They all ganged up on me" She formed crocodile tears instant
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Eight
"I'm so sorry Sir for keeping you waiting, I had to confirm your identity. Welcome, Sir Ackerman" Tinna said and bowed her head politely as soon as she got back from her office after making a confirmation call. "I had no idea it was you. I'm sorry for any inconvenience we must have caused, here's your card" She said, stretching out her hand to return Aidan's card. "Why the hell are you bowing to this shit rag?" Ethan asked, infuriated and shocked by the demonstration. "What about the stupid bet? He clearly lost, otherwise, you would have told us if it declined or not." "It didn't decline because he's the owner of this mall and in that way, he possesses everything in it including the watch." Everyone was awestruck, especially the receptionist who had spoken rudely to him. Mallory's face turned from disgust, to fear and back to shock. "How is it possible?! Impossible!" She bit her lower lip. She knew this man, he was a loser and a nobody so how come he was now the owner of the mos

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

Chapter Hundred And Five
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
