The Lost Heir's Vendetta Chapter Twenty-Six
It was the next day, Aidan was in a meeting when he was called out by his secretary because of an emergency phone call from Mr. Raymond."Excuse me," He said politely, stood up, and exited the conference hall.He dashed into his office instantly and the call was patched through to him by Julia."Yes, what's going on? I was in a deal-closing meeting, just know you interrupted that" He taunted.Mr. Raymomd's breath was weary. "I have bad news, Sir"Immediately, Aida's heart skipped a bit, he pulled his chair and sat down."Alright, what's the bad news?""Kay was found dead in his cell this morning, they said his food was poisoned as his body showed signs of it." Aidan chuckled weakly. He clenched and gritted his jaw, and bent his head forward, gently tapping the phone on his head in annoyance."Sir?""Sir?"Mr. Raymond called out several times before he answered him back. Aidan had drifted off to the fact that the only link to finding Rachel and apprehending Mallory was gone. "It was

She returned to her seat, and sighed heavily, like a weight had been lifted off from her chest. She cupped her face in her palms and smiled a fulfilled smile.She heard the sound of papers being torn, she looked up and saw Aidan doing so.She mouthed out a 'thank you' gazing at him. Aidan nodded. "These are all the legal papers over how he perpetrated the plans, just in case he wants to fight you further." Mr. Raymond packed all the files in front of her and closed his bag."If I'm no longer needed," He drifted his eyes to Aidan. "I would like to continue my work" He winked and Aidan understood what he meant– the search for his daughter. Aidan smiled slightly and gave him a go-ahead. He exited the office leaving the both of them behind.Immediately after he left, Casey stood from her seat and sat at the edge of the desk directly opposite Aidan. "What do you want in return? I will pay you back in whichever way you want…" She took her index finger and traced circles around Aidan's cu

Max Logan hyperventilated over the phone. He didn't even know who he was talking to or how this person got hold of these files, he just knew a number was attached to the email for him to call."Smart man, take it all in because your life's about to take a drastic turn." Aidan taunted."What do you want from me? Is it money? I have it all, whatever you need to destroy all these files in your possession" Max spoke brazenly. He was scared, but he believed this was all about money.Aidan chuckled coldly sending dread down Max's spine. "If I needed money, yours wouldn't even come close to paying me off" Aidan's tone changed from calm to harsh and raspy. "Listen very carefully, I want the Max Hotel; if you can call that a hotel" Aidan rolled his eyes as he spoke. "That is the payment I want," He said sternly."You must be joking to think I would give you that…" Max scoffed brazenly. "How sure I'm I that these files aren't even fake?" He sucked his teeth."You know what!? Do your worst!?"

"I can't with you right now, why the hell is everyone around me so incompetent?""You know what, I shouldn't have listened to you and just did what was on my mind" She cried out. She sank into her chair after removing pieces of broken decor that had shattered in her outrage on the chair, with the phone still glued to her ear."Calm yourself, Madam Doris" Her attorney tried to pacify her over the phone.But it only infuriated her the more."Calm down!? Calm!… Aren't you the one who lost your nephew's clinic to him?" She ridiculed him. She bit her lips to stop them from trembling as she noticed they quivered continuously since she saw the contents of that parcel.Her attorney went silent knowing she was pissed and nothing he said would help the situation. His muteness ticked off Madam Doris and her rage blew through the roof. She ended the call, picked up her car key in the mess she had caused in her office, and stormed out."Madam Doris, your next patient is ready for you…" One of he

"Mr. Raymond is waiting for you in your Penthouse suite Sir," Sadie said to Aidan as she met him on his way to the same suite.He strode past Sadie who bowed briefly before going about her business. Aidan entered the elevator and pressed the button for the penthouse. His mind drifted back to the pictures he saw of Rachel–How could Doris be so heartless? Rachel was placed in a raggy bit of clothes. She looked all alone and abandoned. He wondered what must be going through her mind. Thinking about this broke his heart greatly, it brought a tear to his eyes. The elevator came to a halt and Mr. Raymond was the first to welcome him, waiting at the entrance of the suite. He wiped the tear that dripped on his cheek and stepped in."Good Day, Sir, I got here as soon as I left the police station" He extended his hands to shake him. Aidan didn't return the courtesy and walked straight to the bar area of the lavish sitting room, took a glass cup, and poured himself a shot of whiskey. He took

Looking at Jeremy exit the building with his humiliated face gave Aidan a rush of satisfaction. He grinned from ear to ear.Aidan spun around to see Mr. Edward, removing the fabric from the floor. "What do you mean his father didn't let you live a peaceful life after he loaned you money?" He asked with so much interest.Mr. Edward stopped what he was doing and placed the fabric on top of the armchair that was near him. "I might be the best designer the elite of Emergande City come to, but there was a time I hit a little setback." He stopped, stride over to the table with the champagne bucket, and poured himself a glass."I went to Frederick Clayton– he's a loan shark…" He drawled and took a sip of the champagne. "No, a loan whale should be a better description.""He gave me the money I needed, about 100 million dollars, with a little bit of interest to pay back but little did I know that every day the money is with me, a million dollars is added on top." He sighed wearily and took

"Welcome Sirs, we've prepared everything according to your requests, please the car is this way." The bodyguard pointed to a fleet of cars consisting of a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, and a Mercedes Maybach. The bodyguards all wore black suits, with earpiece detailing used in their communications.Aidan stepped down from the private jet after it came to a halt in the private terminal of the airport with his father trailing behind him. A couple of days after the whole saga with Madam Doris and Jake, Aidan and his father arrived in Aelbank City as planned.He and his father were in Aelbank, the big city housing the headquarters of the Ackerman Inc. for a meeting where Aidan would be introduced as the heir and president of the entire Ackerman empire to the board.The security detail wowed Aidan, it was so tight that it looked as if it was the president they had come to pick up from the airport.They entered the Rolls Royce and soon set out to the country estate where his father's house was s

"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

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

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