"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." Mr. Raymond spoke calmly.

"If she has harmed my daughter in any way…" Aidan stood up with clenched fists and veins throbbing.

"Do you think she would stoop that low?" a concerned Robert asked.

"If I know Madam Doris, she will do anything to protect her family name including getting rid of my Rachel," Aidan said dejectedly.

"The private meeting she had set with you has been met with scorn when I tried to make inquiries about the date and time. She's adamant about meeting with you." Mr. Raymond continued.

Aidan cupped his face in his palms and sighed. He walked to the balcony and saw a better view of the city. He breathed in the fresh aura. "So Doris is headstrong in giving me my daughter?" He chuckled softly and wickedly. "I could have left them in peace but she just stepped on the snake's tail and she has no freaking idea," He said to himself.

He turned to Mr Raymond sitting with Robert. "Can you get me her exact location?" He asked sternly.

Mr. Raymond chuckled. "Yes. Like taking candy from a baby." And he gave a wicked sneer before leaving them.

A couple of hours later, the current location of Madam Doris was sent to Aidan. Surprisingly, she was having a business lunch with some clients in the same hotel now owned by Aidan. "Of course" He snickered.

Aidan dressed up casually from the collection of luxury clothes that was set up for him. He was immediately directed to the hotel's restaurant where Madam Doris's meeting took place.

"Surprised seeing you here after you boycotted the private meeting you had set up yourself to get rid of me" He spoke condescendingly.

Madam Doris' eyes shone brightly as soon as she heard that familiar voice. She turned and saw Aidan standing.

"Do you know this young man Madam Doris?" One of the seated clients asked.

"He's a nonentity who has been pestering me, like a thorn in my flesh" She quickly blurted out. "How did your useless ass get access into this fine establishment? Do they just allow randos in now or have you squirmed your way in?" She asked scornfully.

Aidan sneered viciously all the while Madam Doris spoke. He bent to the level of the clients. "I would advise you to run now that you have the chance. She's a weed that'll eat you up once she has her roots deep in you." He turned to Madam Doris with that same wicked handsome smile of his.

On hearing what he said, Madam Doris banged the table in a rage alerting the few people in the restaurant. "Security! Security!" She screeched. "Throw this homeless idiot out!" Immediately, two security men dressed in black suits close to the restaurant scurried in but stopped in their tracks.

"What are you waiting for? Are you deaf as well as dumb? I gave a damn order!" She asked in an authoritative tone.

"I'm sorry ma, but we can't comply with your command because he's our boss."

"What poppycock! Are you defiling my orders? Where's your manager? I demand an audience because this is a taint on my name. Do you know who I am?" She spat angrily. Aidan stood with his hands folded enjoying the show.

Sadie, passing by, heard the commotion. "Ma, I'm Sadie Colt, the managing director of Ack Hotel. What is the problem?" Sadie said as she walked in.

She scoffed seeing Sadie was a lower class than her. "Now I understand why a commoner like you…" she pointed to Aidan "Could get into this place. I mean who the hell employed you?" She asked disgustingly, staring at Sadie.

"Excuse me Ma, you would show respect as long as you're in here" Sadie retorted back.

"Excuse you! Do your job and throw him out." She commanded, stretching her hands towards Aidan.

"I'm sorry your request cannot be fulfilled as he is the owner of this fine building that you insulted the manager." Although Sadie was pissed, she spoke politely.

"I… I think it's best we reschedule this meeting," One of the clients said, and before Madam Doris could speak, they both left the restaurant briskly.

Aidan giggled. "What are you still doing in my restaurant? You should follow your clients. Oops that's right you just lost that money." He moved closer to her. "You know what I want. Give me my daughter or you'll rue this day." He spoke sternly.

She laughed unfazed by his words. "You think your threats scare me? You're a nobody. I don't care if you're somehow the owner of this place but your words hold no power over me." She was assertive and bold.

Madam Doris unshaken, took her phone and dialed her minions. "You'll get what's coming for you"

Her minions; the policemen arrived at the restaurant in a flash, like they had been hanging around waiting for her to give them the go-ahead. "Arrest him and don't mess it up like the last time." She commanded.

"I'm sorry Madam but we can't arrest him" One of the policemen whispered to her.

Her face changed abruptly like she had been stabbed right in the heart. "Why!"

"Orders from above. He's elusive"

    "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

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

His father had already made preparations for his takeover. Aidan was speechless. No wonder the man had so much power" He thought to himself as soon as he saw the entourage waiting for him. Immediately his car pulled into the private parking lot of the company, and the General Director was waiting diligently for him alongside the employees. The man dressed in a smart expensive suit ran towards his car, bowing himself. "I'm Mr Milton Sam. I'm sorry about the traffic that delayed you." Aidan got down and saw the man looked familiar. He was an old but sturdy man. "Mr. Milton?" He resounded surprised. Aidan remembered him from when he worked for the Hartfords. They had accused him o

    Erica looked at her mother with disdain as she picked her bag from her seat and faced the door.“If you are so eager to have grandchildren to play with, accept Racheal. I will not give birth to another child just to satisfy your wants and needs. The earlier the better” she said and Madam Doris was pissed off again."What! Are you insane? How dare you speak like a fool! You are not ready to give birth to a child for your husband because of a mistake!” She yelled and immediately Erica looked back in fury.“Take that back mum, my child is never a mistake, and I will choose the time I want to give birth to another child, it is none of your business, you want a child faster, you either love Racheal like a grandmother should or tell that one who has refused to reproduce either by choice or by fate to find something doing."I am not interested in anything you have to say," Erica said scornfully.

He thinks he's hiding them well but you'll be surprised as to how easy it was to get my hands on this information." He spoke as he munched on and continued his meal.Aidan snickered. “I have always known he is a dumbass with his shit, always bragging” He dropped his spoon as he wiped his mouth and turned his gaze to Mr. Milton.Mr. Milton continued. “He is a questionable character, and to worsen the matter, he is spending his company funds…" He dropped the spoon and gulped water to push down the spoonful he swallowed.

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

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?

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. But he had to, that was the only way he could get to see his boss and ask him for a fa
