"Since you're deaf, here's a list of all the personnel I want to be fired." Aidan picked up another file from the table and threw it at Ethan.

It landed right on his face before falling to the ground. He looked at Aidan in scorn, his face was indifferent. He crouched to the floor level and picked up the file.

"Good boy" Aidan had a sly smirk on. "Now I'm sure that won't be hard for you to handle, I expect results when I get back." He picked up his bag and phone and stepped out brushing Ethan out of the way as he did so.

Ethan sank to the floor dejectedly as soon as he left, his knees were too wobbly to take the weight of his body. He buried his face into the file and let out a muffled scream. The staff all stood watching him as the door to his office was still open.

Aidan got back to his office and parked in the Ackerman family's reserved parking lot. It was deeper into the parking lot. Before he even stepped out of the car, his secretary(Julia) and Mr. Milton were already standing

It was one of the officers followed by Mr. Raymond."He described Kay, with the sketch, he would soon be apprehended." The police officer assured Aidan."The girls, are they okay?" Aidan drawled as he asked the officer, sympathy plastered across his face.The officer who had already turned to leave stopped and spun around to him. "They're going to be ok, thanks to you. One of them said they came here on their own accord, we've already alerted the parents." He tapped his shoulders reassuring Aidan. "Don't worry, we'll handle everything." "I'm sorry I couldn't get to her on time." Mr. Raymond said despondently. "If only I had worked faster…""You did all you could. We are going to find her" Aidan reassur

    "I got here as fast as I could." Mr. Raymond went over to their side in Aidan's office as soon as he came in."I'm sorry I had to call you on such short notice, but it was important""You're my boss, I come whenever you call" He looked over at Casey and studied her. Her eyes and nose were red from the tears indicating she had cried a lot. She didn't even raise her head, not even once to look at Mr. Raymond, which told him that there was something heavy on her mind."Don't worry, we'll fix whatever it is" He sat beside her, tapping her gently on her shoulders. The tears Casey held back fell freely upon hearing those words from him. She fell on his shoulder to seek comfort and it was provided by him.Mr. Raymond and Aidan gave her time to let all her emotions flow to lift the burden in her heart. Aidan handed her a fresh handkerchief as she had soiled the previous one he had given her before. She cleaned her eyes, blew her nose, and looked at them. She told them everything the uncle ha

She had been in a meeting with some of her very wealthy clients when her lawyer called to inform her about the arrest of her daughter Mallory.On getting there, she met Aidan standing with someone else, she rolled her eyes and strode past them straight to the reception desk. "I demand she be released this instant!" She banged her hand on the desk as she spoke, rattling the whole contents on top of the table."Ma'am, I suggest you calm down as that behavior is not tolerated here." The attending policewoman on the desk said to her scowling.Madam Doris was insulted hearing that. "I can see you just got employed because it's obvious you have no idea who I am." The police officer looked her up and down and had an irritated expression on her face. She took a piece of paper not caring about her attempts at intimidating her and placed it in front of her.

    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!?"

Calm!… Aren't you the one who lost your nephew's clinic to him?" She ridiculed him.

    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

    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

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.

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
