Aidan's POV

The table was set for him like he instructed the chef to with his neat meals. The look on Madam Doris’s face while she was being interrogated about her shady dealings would last a lifetime. She can deny all she wants, but she's reached the end of the road and that fact alone brought warmth to Aidan.

His table was set with some of his meals consisting of grilled steak and mashed potatoes with white wine. Aidan had been running on fumes for the past couple of days, having barely anything to eat except his mountains of coffee. He finally made the decision and told his chef to prepare something exquisite for him.

“Sir Aidan?”

“Yes, Mikay, how may I help you, do you want to join?” He asked without raising his head from the wine he poured into the glass flute.

“No Sir,” He got close to him after he waved his hand for him to do so.

“Sadie is on the phone for you Sir,” He paused, nervousness embedded in him.

“Well, I don't have all day, Mikay” He banged the fork and knife he h

    Where is she? Does she mean Rachel? He tried to wiggle her awake but she was already in deep sleep, tired and weary from all the pains she had endured.Aidan’s heart raced faster than a race car, shooting his blood pressure through the room. He raked his hand through his hair tousling it, he bit his lip, bitterness written all over him. “Can you make her say that again? She said something before slipping out!” He yelled out. “Sir, you need to calm down, she’s out and will be this way for quite some time,” Steven said politely as he placed his stethoscope on her, checking her pulse and doing his general examination.“Escort him to the other space, I need my space for proper examination to fully do my job” Sadie nodded and stretched out her hand to her boss but he shrugged it off and walked out of the bedroom himself.He went straight to the bar cart situated in the room, pulled out a bottle of Scotch, and poured himself a glass. He gulped it once and went right for a second one. He

    Mallory’s pupils dilated, her brows raised in a snare, she couldn't believe her ears hearing that name come out of Jeremy’s mouth. Her heart rate began climbing up all over again as trepidation took over her. “So you do know who I'm talking about” He scoffed, seeing her sudden facial change in muscles.She averted her eyes abruptly, seeing the snare in his eyes. “It's funny how you guys lured my father into marrying that whore you call a sister…” He released the armchairs and paced about. “But what surprises me the most is how your stupid mother got my father to agree or even hide the fact that that thing you call a sister, had a child and was married before without him knowing”“Maybe you should ask your father that,” Mallory retorted subtly.He halted and placed his hand on his waist. “I see you still have a sharp mouth on you…” He drawled. “Maybe I should let him beat the smartness out of you” He waved his hand and the man sneered, making his way to her, to do his master’s biddin

    “About the same thing that brought you here” He smiled and arched his mouth to the ice cream truck positioned not too far from them.She spun around to see and turned back to him. “And yet you're here, alone with your thoughts.” She moved closer and sat beside him on the park bench. “Did you even know when I came close?” “Yeah, my side vision is impeccable” He teased. They both let out a short-lived laugh.For a moment, they both went silent, taking in the scenery and letting the flower-filled aura envelop them. It was like Eileen knew exactly what he wanted and instead of pestering him with incessant questions, she just sat there with him, in silence. But it didn't last long as it was a short-lived moment.All of a sudden, a hand yanked Eileen from where she sat beside Aidan, startling the both of them. The milkshake she held in her hand spilled all over the white sweatshirt she had on, running down to her dark red baggy jeans.“What the hell!” She yelled as she was being pulled fo

    After he had dropped Eileen off, Aidan decided to get down at a bar and just let loose since the day was coming to an end and he had ignored all and sundry. He drove about until he stopped at the bar. He needed to unwind. He met a long line of people waiting to get into the bar and decided to wait along the line just like everyone else.All of a sudden, the line parted for him with everyone grinning from ear to ear, making a way for him inside the bar/club.He was bewildered. Why would they do that? Confusion laced his eyes as he had no idea what was going on. One of the security, followed by a casually dressed man, wearing just a white tee and pants, approached him, adoring a powerful smile that could make you do whatever he ordered.“Welcome Sir Aidan. Thank you for gracing our little club. This way, my boss wants to see you” The man stretched his hand into this open path that was created by the people. Aidan was stumped. His brows drew together in perplexity as he had no idea who

    “What the hell man?” He yelled as the grip around his neck grew tighter.Aidan scoffed. “It looks like you’ll be going with the latter.” With his free hand, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed 911 but before he could send it, he showed it to him to show he wasn't bluffing.“Why are you doing this man, I haven't seen you in such a long time. How did I do wrong by bringing you into my private space?” He blurted and the veins in his temples throbbed.Aidan chuckled bitterly while still holding onto him. “Jeremy has been known to be a shady person and knowing you… From days past, you're not a good human yourself” He raised his head and banged it on the table again. “What do you do, to warrant Jeremy coming into your sinister den for business?” Answer me!” Craig, seeing that Aidan wasn't joking or even pulling back, used all his might and pushed his hand out of his clothes neckline. He instantly jumped to the other side of the table and furrowed his face.“You're a crazy

    Mallory’s POV After she had been abducted and forced by Jeremy to give up Rachel’s location–not that she was forced anyway, she decided that there wasn't a need to go back to her mother’s estate, but rather go to her husband's house or their house.Mallory had avoided Ethan like a plague ever since he lost his group to Aidan and became a mere employee. And to make it worse, he won't let go of it because he believes Aidan would give him the group back if he performs well. Utter and total rubbish. She had since lost face with her friends and was banned from their clubs and weekly meetings because of the disgrace her husband brought on them or so she likes to call it. She arrived at her house around evening time, not expecting to even see Ethan as he was now a lapdog to Aidan.“Welcome Ms. Mallory,” The maid said as soon as she opened the door. The look on her face was a surprise as she hadn't graced the house in weeks, not to mention showing up looking like she was in a fight that she

    Aidan’s POV A couple of days passed since Craig gave Aidan a little information regarding Jeremy that churned the very depths of Aidan’s soul. He knew Jeremy was immoral but that kind of evil was something he never anticipated or even expected him to be, and the fact that his father keeps covering up his tracks was just the icing on the cake. Aidan was driving through the busy streets of the City, preparing for his father to come back finally to Emergande City after making sure everything was alright in Aelbank City and also throwing out those who would threaten Aidan’s very existence. He pulled up to Ack Mall to get some stuff that Erica would need because she didn't run away with many things on her when she left her husband. He beats himself every day but still ends up helping her.“Here Sir, everything you sent online has been sorted and put in place. Also, Sir, this is the bracelet you asked to be customized with the initials ‘You’re safe now’” The cashier smiled, full of joy,

    “And you chose ugly” Aidan’s voice was cold and hard as he walked closer to Crystal who was cowering at the back of her bodyguard.“Please kind Sir, I don't know how you were, I don't want ugly, please” She cupped her hands in a parking position and begged. They shook greatly alongside her legs. “Now I'm kind Sir” He taunted her. “Well, do you have 2 million dollars to pay for the bracelet you damaged?” “Daddy” She pointed her hand to her father. “He's rich, he can pay, he has money” She was quick to throw her father in the front. Anything to save her selfish self.“Well, Daddy? What are you waiting for? She said you have the means to reimburse us” The manager shifted her gaze to Kelvin Igor. Kelvin breathed heavily, his eyes fixed on Aidan hoping he would change his mind or maybe something lighter but his eyes were dark and gray and indifferent as he couldn't read out his emotions.“We don't have all day Sir,” Kelvin jerked as she shouted out for him to hear properly. He fiddled

    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.
