Aiden was still looking at Lady Irish that was now gawking at nowhere. Her shocked face was still obvious and Aiden couldn't help but feel pity. "Are you sure you're alright, Lady Irish?" Aiden asked once again though it was useless to ask the obvious. "O-Of course, yes..." Lady Irish replied but her mouth betrayed her for it was trembling due to nervousness. She walked and wanted to leave that place but her knees were trembling as well. Good thing Aiden was able to caught her hand when she lost her balance. "Gracious goodness!" Lady Irish exclaimed as she was holding tightly on Aiden's hand. Lady Irish immediately composed herself and smiled timidly. "Thank you saving me." "No need to say that," Aiden answered and roamed his eyes around the corner. "I just did what's suppose to be done." Lady Irish looked at Aiden with questions in her eyes. But she chose to leave him and didn't speak a word. Meanwhile, one of the member of Black Scorpion saw Aiden and noticed him while he w
"How could you do this, father?" Stella couldn't control herself to just keep silent anymore.She was in deep rage after hearing that Aiden got the most of the shares. "It's unfair!"Lord Orsic smiled in secret. He knew that Stella was against his announcement."Who is that man that you will give the most of the shares!" Cole also didn't keep his silence. "For all people, why it has to be him?""Whatever you will say, it's my decision to be done!" Lord Orsic's voice roared in the whole villa that made everyone shut their mouth."Are you questioning my decision, Cole?""It's not like that, Father," Cole was controlling himself to be calmed and not talk back to his father as a respect."We are your sons and daughters, is it hard for you to give the most of the shares to us?""So you're questioning me?" Lord Orsic said stiffly."Can you please just listen to me, Father?" Cole's voice sounded like pleading.He would do everything just to make sure that Aiden would not have all the shares
Aiden decided to see Lord Osric first, before he would finally take his leave. He had something he has been meaning to ask, and it was better to ask it now. So, he strolled to meet the Lord privately. " Aiden!" Lord Osric beamed, as soon as he saw Aiden approaching him, and he adjusted himself. " What brings you here?" He asked with a smile. Aiden kept a cool and stoical face, as he moved closer to Lord Osric. " Lord Osric," he greeted politely. " I have something to ask you if you don't mind." There was no need to beat around the bush, so Aiden went straight to the point. " Is it about what I said earlier?" Lord Osric inquired curiously, almost immediately and gestured for Aiden to take a seat beside him. Aiden made a dry chuckle, " No." He actually didn't care about that. Lord Osric arched his brows and thought of what Aiden wanted to ask. " What is it then?" Aiden gazed at Lord Osric with a straight but still calm face, " Can you tell me about my family?" His voi
" What?!" Stella barked and clenched her fists tightly, till the extent her knuckles turned white... She was still on a call with Cole. " Yes!" Cole nodded with clenched jaws. He was very mad at this moment! Stella didn't say anything and just kept quiet. She seemed to be thinking about something. " Stella?" Cole called her, when he heard no response from her. " Don't worry dear brother." Stella curled her lips up from the other side. " We still have the upper hand." Her voice was now calm but sounded sinister. Cole finally relaxed himself, and thought his sister was very quick witted! " Good!" After Stella hung up, she called the manger of the company immediately. She wanted to get rid of Aiden, so the shares could become hers and Cole only. Aiden was an eyesore to her, and even the forced marriage was still vexatious to her! " Miss Stella," the manager called out to her, once he got to Stella's office. Stella's thought was interrupted, but since it was because
The scorpion men went back to their boss and explained what they encountered not too long. " What?!" The leader of the scorpion men stood up and roared furiously! " What do you mean?!" " Yes...boss..." The scorpion men dropped down their gaze and shakily replied to their boss. " I don't believe this!" The scorpion leader shook his head and turned back. " Who the hell is he?"" We also don't know, but from what we see, he is definitely not an ordinary man, " The men told their boss with an embarrassed face. " Even his aura was imposing and domineering!" Another added, and they all nodded. The scorpion leader just watched his men with a scowl on his face. It was really annoying for him to hear such kinds of words. He hates to be defeated, and he wondered who almost killed his men earlier with just one kick. One kick?That's terrifying! " Do you have his picture?!" The scorpion leader looked at his men with pursed lips. The scorpion men glanced at each other and immedi
Aiden got home, after he was done defeating the scorpion men. It was a very easy fight, and he didn't even exert his strength at all. Alone now, the memories of what happened to him before, started flowing into his head, and he sighed softly. He recalled all his previous memories, but that only brought a pang of pain to his heart. *Flashback* Some years back. Young Aiden came to his parents home, but he didn't expect what he saw. His eyes went agog, and his knees became soft and unstable. Instantly, he lost his balance and balled his fists, trying to fight the tears, that were threatening to flow out. On the floor beside him was the dead body of a familiar person, Aiden's father. Young Aiden couldn't believe it, but the dead person was truly his father. " Arghh!" He screamed and clutched the hands of his dead father tightly. The sight of his dead father was a very unpleasant one. There was a pool of blood around his father's body, and from the look of things, he seemed to h
But there is always hope for the living.Struggling all alone, Aiden thought no one was going to come to his aid. But he believed in himself and decided to give it all he got. ..Luckily, on one good day, a man walked up to him.." Hello there," the man greeted him, with a pleasant smile, but it was nothing to Aiden. Aiden looked up from the trash he was sitting on and frowned. He didn't say anything or reply the man and just only ignored him. " That's considered impolite young man," the man chuckled dryly and bent down on his knees. " What is your name?" He asked, as he squinted his eyes. Aiden frowned deeply, as he stared straight into the man's eyes. " What do you want?" Instead of replying the man's question, he asked the man another thing. The man face was very calm and attractive. He wasn't cheesed off about Aiden's discourteous, as he knew the young Aiden was probably wary of strangers. " Nothing," he replied calmly and smiled. " I just want to help you." Ai
" Mum!" Stella ran to Lord Osric's room, the moment she heard her mother's scream and called out to her loudly. " Is something wrong?!" She questioned immediately she got to Lord Osric's room. Lady Irish's fingers trembled, as her lips quivered like a thin leaf. Her mind was numb, and she couldn't process anything. It all felt like she was dreaming. " Mum!" Stella was astonished to see her mother in that way her, and she instantly became alarmed. Lady Irish didn't say anything, and her lips continued to quiver. " What's wrong?!" Cole pulled his brows into a frown, as he rushed to Lord Osric's room.Stella turned to him and shook her head. " I don't know. I came in here not too long when I heard mother's scream." She explained to Cole. Cole frowned more, as he directed his gaze towards his mother, and he stepped forward when he noticed how Lady Irish was acting. " Mum!" He called out, as he shook Lady Irish's body.This was when lady Irish came back to her senses, and h
