The cars arrived at the club entrance. It was empty as it was in the hot afternoon, so it was normal that nobody would be present there, unlike in the night when it's usually parked. They got down from the car with Aidan taking the lead. Zayed saw and cleared his throat. “I know you're the boss and all and the police are already close by, probably even blending with your right security detail, but let me take the lead on this one” He tugged at his hand and held him. The action made Aidan turn and take a look at the said hand before returning it to his upper side. He sighed heavily before releasing and gesturing to him to take the lead. Zayed awkwardly smiled as he took the lead, a bit of uneasiness lacing his demeanor. He moved and Aidan walked beside him, Caleb’s cap still on him to hide his features. “Welcome to Club Saucy,” A young lady dressed in a seductive lacy gown said as they approached the door leading into the club’s open space. “You're quite early for Friday gi
“Bang!” A loud sound was heard through the commotion that was already happening. The police and Aidan’s security busted into the underground club. Now, Aidan had sent a message to Malcolm, showing him the route and the specific way to open the door once the police arrived. He didn't even think they would come in at such an early time.The whole space was filled with the smoke that resulted from the forced entry. Aidan looked over and saw that Zayed was holding the gun at the mouth opening as it was pointed directly at him by Jeremy. He looked closely and saw that he had prevented the shot from getting to him by using his body as a shield. So he took the bullet that was meant for him. He grunted and staggered back, slyly collecting the gun from Jeremy as he fell on Aidan’s hands. “I'm crazy, right?” He asked weakly as he slouched on him, his blood spurting from his mouth. He was still grinning as he held onto his hand.Jeremy on the other hand, was already on the floor, pinned tight
“I have no idea, Boss,” He said, Jeremy sending him signals. Aidan saw right through them.Although Jarum was probably faking the whole play, he knew that he knew Rachel was hidden in that place. He walked away from him and brought his phone back, taking it from the sofa he was sitting on.He got back and flipped through it before he eventually turned the phone to his face. “Who is that right there?” He asked scornfully. Jarum stared at the video, shock written all over him as he realized that was Frederick being led away, in handcuffs. He turned his head and looked over at Jeremy who was being attended to by the paramedics present. Realization drawing on him.“You never told me your father was arrested by him!” His demeanor changed to mad fury. “You’ll be the death of me, I can't lose this place, he would kill me” He broke down even though the anger was seeping through.Jeremy heard the part of his father being arrested by Aidan, he creased his forehead and scrunched his face in di
“Your pathetic life is over either way” He giggled softly. “You can't harm me, you won't see your daughter if you do” He blurted through closed teeth. What he just said irritated Aidan and raised his fury to the highest levels. He threw the empty gun to a far corner before dashing for the guy. He pulled him up as Cole removed the knees he used in pressing him down. Aidan pulled the guy up in a swift and banged him against the nearest wall, his head hitting the hardwood wall. Aidan fumed and breathed hot on him. Anger is evident in his face. He furrowed his brows as he glared daggers into his ruined heart.“Bold of you to think you're in a position to make demands.” He said wickedly, he saw Cole through the corners of his eyes and signaled to him to search the house, and he went right to it.He threw the young man away indignantly like he was a piece of paper, gliding through the air. The guy hit his back on furniture on his way down and coiled on the floor as he groaned and winced
“So, Mr. Aidan, she's stable but not out of the woods yet” Dr. Alex came out and told him. He was the chief medical doctor of a lesser hospital in the City next to Madam Doris but people rarely came to him because he was invincible, thanks to Madam Doris.”She was dosed with a heavy portion of sleeping pills, probably to keep her calm. The bruises on her hand are from a dislocation…” Dr. Alex; the owner of the hospital helicopter airlifted them to say to him. “She’ll be fine. The dislocation was as a result of manhandling her. I have ordered some X-rays and tests which would show us if she has any other broken bones. But in the meantime, we need to fix the dislocation” He gulped and walked close to Aidan, about to tap him on his back. But he retracted and shrugged off.“I'm sorry Sir, but I will do the very best I can to keep her well and safe,” He said nervously as he said his dead cold gray eyes.“You better!” He growled. “Or it’ll be your head on the chopping block” The doctor gr
“Enough Aidan!” His father yelled at him.They had come in through the front entrance when Aidan was too focused on dealing with the doctor and the gullible nurse who leaked his whereabouts to the media who wanted nothing more but gossip and wrong info.“This is not the time to act on your angry impulses, Rachel is in there, battling for her life. We need to focus and hope on that for now…” He drawled gently as he walked toward him. He halted when he was close and placed his hand on the small of his back.“I know how you feel, I felt it when I lost you all those years ago but Rachel is not alone…” He looked over to where Erica was, plastering herself to Eileen’s arm. “She has you. She's the luckiest little girl on earth, having you as a father.” He assured him.Aidan's heart palpitations reduced as his father spoke to him. He reluctantly unclenched his fists and relaxed his tensed muscles. But his heart rate was still there, present as he glared coldly at the nurse and the chief docto
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
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
