The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Sixty-Three
Once he was done settling his affairs in the Caucus gym, he changed back into his clothes, got into his car, and drove to no particular destination. Getting all that anger out was what he thought he needed but for some reason, seeing Jeremy’s broken hand or Jace’s puffed up and bruised face and dignity wasn't satisfactory enough. His throat was still tight and his heart was heavy. His stomach on the other hand swirled and threatened to spill the contents if there were even any because he hadn't had food all day. The anger was still evident, still ever-present. He grabbed the steering wheel and tightened his grip on it as if to wring the daylight out of it.“Ding!” “Ding!” His attention went to his phone that was on the passenger seat, close to his jacket that he placed carelessly there. He saw the flash of light and the message pop up, his phone made as he pulled to a stop sign in the busy streets of the City. Since he was at a stop sign, he decided to check what the message was. H

“Don't get on my nerves more than you already have” “I won't ask again!” He said sternly.“Yes,” Casey said slowly but reluctantly. He ended the call. He had no other choice but to call her. Calling their family doctor would probably take all the time in the world since he had never even met the man and he didn't want to go through the long process of calling his attorney or his lawyer for help hence Casey.He sped through the busy streets and the road like a madman, breaking a couple of traffic rules. His one eye was fixed on Eileen who kept on babbling some gibberish utterance. Worry sliced across his face and settled on his eyes. It was almost past 8 PM now and he hadn't had anything since the day began; he was bearing the brunt of that as his stomach rumbled like a madman-exactly like the way he drove.He finally pulled up to the Ack Hotel entrance. Luckily, there was a private entrance made possible by his father, no public eyes would be on them since he doesn't have to use the

He brought the phone to his forehead and tapped it vigorously, putting Sadie on hold. After a few seconds, he brought it back to his ears.“I'm coming down,” He said and put the phone back.He strides over to where Eileen is sitting with Casey, her back being rubbed and patted by her as she looks dazy and out of place.He got to her and squatted to get to her level, cupping her hands in his. “How are you feeling now?” He asked warmly.Eileen still rubbed her eyes and looked around the whole room as if she hadn't fully taken in the environment like it was alien to her or maybe the alcohol wasn't fully out of her system yet, and the effects were still blurring out the part of her brain that could assimilate fast.“What did you drink?” Aidan asked again, noticing the way she kept turning her head about, avoiding the question or like she was perplexed and needed some clarity.“Did someone do this to you?” His glare was stern, waiting for the answer like whoever was responsible would be d

It's time Raymond. Send a hailstorm on her, I've given her enough time to give me back my Rachel but she's proving stubborn.” Aidan brushed his hand on the tabletop. Two weeks had passed since Frederick stormed into his premises, accusing him of stealing his daughter, and in that time, Aidan had dealt with him hard, losing his most important clients apart from the foreign investors, to his debtors running to Aidan seeking refuge from him. He was slowly losing his spot as the Monarch of Emergande City and Aidan Ackerman taking the spot without so much as shedding a sweat for it. Casey had wanted by all means to get to the bottom of Rachel and who the mother was but all she got from Aidan was bits and pieces, no matter how hard she tried; at least her relationship with him was better now.Now, in the past weeks, Madam Doris had continuously used the only leverage she had on Aidan, constantly threatening him with filthy pictures of Rachel in indisputable places. She thought she had the

“You can't touch a hair on his head even if you tried.” He stated.It was Aidan. The voice made everyone turn in his direction. He stood casually, carved like a Greek God, wearing a black-on-black suit with three buttons of the shirt opened, showing his masculine carved chest. His hands were placed behind his back, and he smirked, grinning bitterly from ear to ear.He had come in just about when the handcuffs were being placed on Madam Doris. “You!” She cried out.“You did this? Did you think they would hold me back with this?” She cackled like an evil bitch. “I'm coming out today just like I always do” She sneered as the handcuffs were being placed on her. Aidan unfolded his hand from his back and stride close to her. “Just know that your daughter is as good as dead with this rubbish you just pulled” She fumed furiously.The people gasped loudly. They were awestruck by what just came out of her mouth. If there were silent murmurs before, it became more audible. She saw and heard s
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Sixty-Eight
Aidan’s POV The news about Madam Dotis’s arrest spread like wildfire all through the whole city, the media scampered and ransacked who or what they could, to get their hands on the actual tea of why she was arrested by Aidan Ackerman. “Turn that off, Cole” “Yes Sir,” He did as informed.They were on their way to the police station and all the car radio played was how humiliating and embarrassing it must have been for her to be arrested that way. Aidan didn't care much or pay much concentration to it until the host emphasized on the fact that she would get out easily with one phone call. It irritated him so much that the City still underestimated him to think Madam Doris would go scot-free this time around with the charges leveled against her and the number of victims; thanks to Mr. Milton, coming forward to put her behind bars. He arrived at the station not for any reason, but so he could get the whereabouts of his daughter from the police and also Madam Doris to see his face, so

The words Aidan said to her, cut deep right into her bones. But she didn't blame him but herself.

She walked up the stairs leading
The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Seventy
Aidan's POVThe 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

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. 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
