"Good" He released his shoulders and stepped back closer to his father. His father whispered to him as he was just inches away. "Why do you feel that way? Like they're being treated inhumanely when they are only just doing their jobs?" His father asked with a puzzled look on his face. Aidan let out a heavy sigh before answering him. "Because I was once like them… In that same position, serving others" He spun and gazed at his father, his eyes fixated on his eyeballs. "I didn't enjoy it when I was treated like nothing but a piece of rag, and I wouldn't want to pour it on others." "I'm surprised" His father shook his head. "Why are you?" Aidan asked him, confusion written over his expression. "One would think that with what you went through in your past life, that you would be a hardened person with a vicious heart… Ready to dish out what you were served, to others." His father spoke in a low tone, audible enough for Aidan to hear. "Only to those who deserve it!" Aidan replied sc

She was taken aback. She dropped the piece of broken painting she held in her hand unknowingly due to what she just heard."I'm…I'm sorry…" She stuttered nervously. "I can't let you pay for this mess I made… I broke the painting, it's all my fault for being so graceless" "How much is the painting?" Aidan asked again, this time around with more conviction than the first time he asked.The girl gaped down at him, raised her brows, and squinted her eyes at him before huffing out a sigh. "My boss sells these paintings for ridiculous amounts…" She dragged her words. "I wouldn't want to impose the expenses of my missteps on you"Aidan inclined his head upwards, took his fingers, and pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a frustrated sigh. He rubbed his face and looked at her."I'm still waiting"She muttered to herself, doubting Aidan would pay for the painting even though he was smartly dressed up in the best suit she had ever seen. It must cost a fortune to wear that kind of suit

"Acting like a bunch of wild animals!" They both turned their heads to see Sarah standing at the entrance, fuming hot."What is wrong with you both!?" She matched right in. "Do you know where I heard your voices!?" She said as her gaze shifted between the two of them.Sir Robert sighed dejectedly as he was disappointed Sarah met them raving at each other. He clenched his jaw and swallowed his pride. He tried to touch Aidan but he brushed him off by raising his hand and stepping aside.His temples pulsed harder at Aidan's refusal to his touch. He cast one last glare at Aidan, hissed, and shoved his way past Sarah brushing her out of the way. She gazed at him, storming out in disbelief, and sighed, shaking her head before she walked closer to Aidan. Aidan sank himself into a part of the bed that wasn't filled with his scattered clothes. He rubbed his creased forehead to relieve the throbbing that had started because of the fury he felt.Sarah dragged some of the clothes aside and sat

He ended the call as the car pulled up into the Hartford Hospital parking lot. Everyone was wowed by the luxurious fleet of cars that the convoy consisted of. They took glances among themselves in wonderment. Their eyes were glued to the cars ready to see who would come down from them.A loud gasp was heard as Aidan stepped down from the car as soon as his driver opened the door of the Rolls Royce. He brushed and adjusted his suit before strutting to the hospital lobby. The doctors and nurses on duty gaped at him in awe as he elegantly and gracefully carried himself to the receptionist's desk. “Good Day Sir” She greeted him politely, shining all her teeth. Aidan smirked knowing fully well the reason why she instantly ignored the rest of the patients and attended to him immediately–it was because he exuded wealth and power, a thing everyone wanted a taste of.“I'm here for Doris” Hearing him call out the president of the hospital by her first name without any atom of respect killed

“Enough!” He reinstated his word, bitterness highly obvious in his eyes.Casey reluctantly turned to Aidan. She had a sneer on her face, with furrowed brows, she raised an eyebrow at Aidan.“What?” She chuckled contemptuously. “It's not like I'm lying, that ring is fake as hell…” She sneered and turned her face from Aidan to Erica, making a sad mocking face.“I guess your husband doesn't like you enough to get you the real thing. I guess he's more into beating the shit out of you”Casey kept on taunting Erica and Mallory. Mallory gritted and ground her teeth. “Looking at you, I can see that you don't know the difference between what's real or fake… Like that trash, my sister threw away that you suddenly tied yourself to…” She glared coldly at Casey. “I pity you because I'm quite sure he's only with you because of your clinic just the same way he was with my sister because of her money.”Mallory wanted to touch a nerve in Casey but instead, she burst out laughing at what she said.“Wh

The day of the Legacy ball finally arrived. It was held in the Elysium Club House. A club in Emergande City with restricted access to anyone who didn't meet the requirements of a billion dollars in their account. Aidan hated the fact that he was there and not his father. His Rolls Royce pulled into the driveway leading into the club grounds. The driveway was long, filled with the expensive luxury of Emergande City. His security/driver that night was Cole. He slowed his pace when they met a long hold-up of cars getting checked in, into the club.He sucked his teeth and regretted being there already. If not for making an appearance and pleasing his father, he wouldn't have shown up.The ball was held annually to raise money for charity and develop the poor parts of the city but everyone knew the money never got to them, it was just another avenue for the rich to flaunt how richer they got in under a year.“I was surprised when you invited me,” Casey said, breaking Aidan out of his tho

"Are you sure you want the bidding from the amount it was initially sold to him at?” The auctioneer asked in a low audible tone to be sure.Frederick didn't answer but rather, shot cold glares at him, scaring him mute.He moved to the stand and hit the gavel hard to bring back the attention of everyone as they were now confused and wondered why Frederick was behaving like he had lost his mind.“The bidding for Harmony in Chaos will now be between Frederick Clayton and Aidan Ackerman” He yelled out as the gavel sound had brought back the attention of the guests.“It will start at the price it was sold off to him” The guests gasped upon hearing that. They were astonished as things weren't done that way. They exchanged side talks between themselves making the whole auction room rowdy. The auctioneer hits his gavel but it doesn't seem to work as the guests seem more focused on their gossip.“The painting is precious to him…” He yelled nervously, swallowing a gulp. “He doesn't want to par

The car came to a halt in front of Casey's apartment building. Aidan had brought her back after her nervous breakdown.“Do you want me to walk you back?” She shrugged and drew closer to the door. “No!” Aidan giggled softly. “Thought you were ready to do anything for me?” “I was…” She dragged on and bit her lips. “But I'm smart enough not to toil with the Claytons. No one who did ever lived to see the next day” Her eyes glowed with worry and dread as she spoke.“They should be terrified of me!” “If you're doing this because of Erica…” She drew closer to where he sat in the car and placed a hand on his thigh, gently fondling it. “She's not worth it”She looked into his eyes ready for an answer she craved but it never came.She sighed heavily. “Anyway, I have a long day tomorrow, thank you for the evening.” Cole opened the door and she stepped down, holding up her flowing gown with one hand and holding her purse with the other. Aidan hated the fact that a part of him behaved that

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
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
