The formidable Aiden Romanov Chapter 88
Aiden was at the office, buried in paperwork, when his phone buzzed. Seeing his grandfather’s name, he quickly answered. “Grandpa, good evening. How are you feeling tonight?”Lorenzo’s voice was calm but firm. “I am well Aiden, Mark has just been arrested. Carl found evidence linking him to the engineer who vanished after your parents’ crash.”Aiden’s heart raced. “What kind of evidence?”“Emails and financial transactions. It’s damning, Aiden. Mark was deeply involved, and we’re tightening security around him to ensure he can’t be silenced.”Aiden sank back into his chair, the weight of the news washing over him. “Thank you, Grandpa. This could be the breakthrough we’ve needed.”“It’s a step closer to justice, Aiden. We’re not there yet, but we’re on the right path.”After the call ended, Aiden sat in his chair, staring at the ceiling. Could this be the closure he had been seeking? The thought of finally understanding what had happened to his parents was overwhelming. He stood up and

“Yes daddy, you call me princess, that’s my other name, more like a nickname, I figured I should give mommy a nick name too!” She threw her hands in the air smiling.Everyone burst into laughter again.“Happy birthday darling, I trust you got my gift as well.” Lorenzo added, winking at his great-granddaughter.Zia looked at them, her eyes wide with gratitude. “Thank you all so much. I love all the dresses, and I can’t choose just one. So, I’ve decided that I’ll wear all three! I’ll change dresses during the day so everyone gets to see me in each one.”The adults laughed, impressed by her solution.“That’s a wonderful idea, Zia,” Silvana said, kissing her on the forehead. “You’ll look beautiful in each one.”“Indeed,” Lorenzo agreed. “You have a wise head on those young shoulders.”With the dress dilemma resolved, the family headed to the palace’s five-star diner for a special birthday breakfast in Zia’s honor. The diner was a grand room with crystal chandeliers, ornate ceilings, and l

Every guest that came to Zia’s birthday party was greeted warmly. Parents of Zia’s classmates mingled, exchanging pleasantries and watching their children enjoy the festivities. Aiden and Silvana made their way around the grand hall, thanking each parent and acquaintance for attending. “Thank you so much for coming,” Aiden said to a couple, shaking their hands. “Zia has been looking forward to this day for weeks.” “It’s our pleasure,” replied the father, smiling warmly. “Zia is a delightful child. Our daughter adores her.” Silvana smiled, her eyes glowing with maternal pride. “We’re so glad to hear that. Zia talks about her friends all the time.” After greeting everyone, Aiden led Silvana to a seat, sensing her need to rest. “Come, you’ve been on your feet all morning. Sit down for a bit.” Silvana sighed in relief as she sank into the chair. “Thank you, Aiden. I think I overestimated my stamina today.” Aiden chuckled, sitting next to her. “You deserve a break.” He signaled for

Blaise stepped into the tub, the warm water lapping at his skin as he positioned himself above her. His hands roamed her body, reacquainting himself with every curve and dip. Amelia’s head fell back, her eyes closing as she surrendered to the sensations.His lips trailed down her neck, leaving a path of fiery kisses that ignited her senses. He took his time, worshipping her body with his mouth and hands, making her feel cherished and desired.“Blaise,” she moaned, her body arching towards him.He looked up, his eyes locking with hers. “I love you, Amelia. Always have, always will.”Amelia’s heart ached with a mix of emotions. “I love you too, Blaise,” she whispered.Blaise continued his tender assault, his hands sliding down her body until he reached her core. Amelia gasped as he touched her, her body responding instantly to his expert ministrations.He teased her, bringing her to the brink before pulling back, only to start again. Amelia’s body was on fire, her desire building with e

“That is a strong possibility,” the doctor agreed. “But the important thing is that both Silvana and the baby are stable now. She will need a lot of bed rest to recover fully.”“Thank you so much doctor. Can I see her now?”The doctor nodded, “of course! You can take her home if you wish, but she needs to rest as much as possible.”Aiden thanked the doctor once more before making his way to Silvana’s hospital room. As he entered, he saw Silvana lying in bed, looking exhausted but relieved to see him.“Aiden,” she said softly, her voice weak.Aiden rushed to her side, taking her hand in his. “Silvana, thank God you’re okay. I was so worried.”Silvana squeezed his hand gently. “I’m sorry for scaring you.”Aiden shook his head, tears welling up in his eyes. “Don’t apologize. I’m just glad you’re safe. The doctor told me what happened.”Silvana’s eyes widened slightly. “What did he say?”Aiden took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions. “He said that it was an induced abortion, but

Aiden shook his head, frustration evident on his face. “I don’t know. But I can’t stay quiet any longer, Grandpa. Our family has endured too much pain, and no one has been held accountable. I’m going to start digging into my suspects, including Bryden. Whoever deserves to be behind bars, I’ll make sure they get there.”Lorenzo sighed deeply, seeing the determination in Aiden’s eyes. He knew that once Aiden set his mind on something, there was no talking him out of it.“Alright, Aiden. Just be careful. We can’t afford to lose anyone else. I’ll speed up the search for the culprits as well,” Lorenzo said, placing a reassuring hand on Aiden’s shoulder.Aiden nodded, feeling a surge of resolve. “Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll keep you updated.”Lorenzo watched as Aiden left the room, his heart heavy with worry.By the next morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the grand windows of the palace, casting a warm glow over the ornate furnishings.

“I saw the email come in,” Sam replied. “I was about to call you, actually. We’ve managed to trace the engineer who disappeared after your parents’ crash. He’s been living in the Caribbean under a new identity.”Aiden’s pulse quickened. “Are you sure it’s him?”“Positive. We’ve verified his identity through multiple sources. I wanted to confirm with you before involving the local authorities.”“Do it,” Aiden said decisively. “And also run a check on the plate number from the footage. We need to know who owns that car.”“On it,” Sam replied, his tone crisp with determination.The next day, Aiden’s phone buzzed early in the morning. It was Sam, and his voice carried a note of urgency.“Aiden, we’ve got him. The engineer, Dan, has been arrested and is currently in custody.”“That’s great news,” Aiden said, feeling a mix of relief and tension. “What about the interrogation?”“It’s just started. I’ll keep you updated,” Sam promised.Hours crawled by as Aiden paced his study, the weight of

Sam scribbled down notes, his mind piecing together the events. “Mr. Benson, a person was murdered, and your car was seen near the scene. We’re trying to find the culprit, and it seems your car might be involved.”Carl’s eyes widened. “Murdered? My God... I had no idea.”Sam leaned forward, his tone reassuring. “Don’t worry. As long as you cooperate, you’ll be fine. Do you remember anything else? Anything that might help us identify this man?”Carl seemed to hesitate, then his eyes lit up with a sudden recollection. “Wait, there is something. When he tried to grab my car keys, we struggled a bit. I managed to hit him on his left arm, and he winced in pain. It looked like he had a pretty bad wound there.”Sam noted this down with keen interest. “That’s very helpful, Mr. Benson. Thank you. If you think of anything else, no matter how small, please let me know.”Carl nodded, looking relieved to have contributed something useful. “I will, Mr. Larson. I just hope they catch whoever did thi

Aiden leaned over the table in the safehouse, his fingers tracing the map spread out before him. The docks, the industrial warehouses, and the surrounding areas were marked with pins and annotations. The intel about the upcoming shipment was either a trap or an opportunity. Either way, Aiden couldn’t ignore it. "Here’s the play," he began, his voice low but commanding. His team—James, Katarina, and the rest of the crew—listened intently. "We’ll let Orlov think we’re taking the bait. If it’s a real shipment, we hit it hard and cripple his supply chain. If it’s a trap, we spring it on our terms." Katarina crossed her arms, her expression skeptical. "And how do we ensure it doesn’t blow up in our faces? Orlov’s not stupid—he knows you’ll come for this." Aiden met her gaze, his voice steady. "That’s why we don’t go for the shipment directly. We use decoys. James, you and a small team will run a fake assault on the main route. Make it loud enough to draw their attention." James nod

The command center hummed with quiet efficiency. Monitors displayed live feeds from across the city: surveillance cameras, drone footage, and intercepted communications. Orlov paced in front of the largest screen, his mind whirring with strategy. The explosion at the docks had sent a clear message, but it wasn’t enough. Aiden Romanov had survived worse, and Orlov knew his opponent well enough to anticipate retaliation. He turned to Viktor, who was reviewing the list of assets and potential targets. "We need to force Romanov into a position where he can’t think clearly. Fear, Viktor, is the greatest weapon. And Romanov’s greatest fear lies not in losing a fight but in losing the people he loves." Viktor hesitated. "You mean Silvana and the child?" Orlov’s smirk was cold. "Precisely. They are his Achilles’ heel. Romanov thrives on control, and nothing shatters control like the threat of harm to those he holds dear."He motioned for one of his tech operatives to step forward. The

The docks loomed ahead, shrouded in fog and silence. Aiden led his team through the maze of shipping containers, his senses heightened by the tension in the air. Every creak of the metal structures, every distant clang of a crane, felt amplified as if the night itself were holding its breath. “Comms check,” Aiden whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the distant waves. “All clear,” James responded, perched on a container with his laptop, hacking into the dock’s security feeds. “Moving into position,” Katarina added, her tone calm yet charged with anticipation. She was leading the diversion team to draw Orlov’s men away from the cargo ship. Aiden’s team consisted of himself, James, and Nikolai—though Aiden still harbored doubts about Nikolai’s loyalty. His gut told him to keep a close eye on the man, but for now, he needed every hand he could get. They reached the edge of the dock, where the cargo ship loomed like a dark behemoth. Its lights were dim, the shad

Aiden stood in the war room, a somber expression on his face as he traced his finger over a map of Orlov’s known operations. The team gathered around him, their wounds still fresh from the recent ambush. The air was thick with tension, but it was laced with determination. “We’ve been on the back foot for too long,” Aiden began, his voice steady but laced with anger. “Orlov thinks he’s outplayed us, but this time, we’re going to be the ones setting the trap.” James leaned forward, his laptop open. “We’ve mapped out his network,” he said, pulling up a web of interconnected nodes. “This command center he lured us to—it’s not his primary base. He has a second, more fortified location near the docks.” Katarina crossed her arms, her sharp eyes scanning the map. “So, we hit the docks? Or is that another trap?” Aiden shook his head. “If Orlov is there, we can’t wait for confirmation. We’ll need to move with precision, but not without a plan to cover every possibility. We’re done walki

Orlov paced the dimly lit chamber of his backup command center, the faint hum of machinery filling the air. His failure to trap Aiden at the warehouse had stung more than he was willing to admit. The man had always been resourceful, but this level of persistence, this sharpness, felt almost personal. His top lieutenant, Viktor, stood nearby, reviewing the aftermath reports. "They hit us hard, sir," Viktor said, his voice carefully measured. "We lost critical supplies and several high-ranking men. The team was swift and precise, like they knew our movements beforehand." Orlov's jaw tightened. "Of course, they knew," he muttered, his voice like venom. "Romanov has someone feeding him information. It's the only explanation." He slammed his fist onto the table, rattling the nearby monitors. "This ends now," he hissed. "Enough of these games. If Romanov wants to hunt me, I’ll make him regret it. We’ll hit him where it hurts most." Viktor hesitated. "What are you suggesting, sir?"

Orlov was silent as he stared at the monitors in his command center. The live footage of the chaos caused by Aiden and his team flickered on the screens before him. His guards lay incapacitated, his carefully constructed defenses breached, and his lower-level systems compromised. The calm exterior he maintained belied the storm brewing beneath the surface.His lieutenant, Viktor, stood beside him, rigid and uneasy. “They’ve crippled our lockdown protocols,” Viktor said cautiously. “Our communications are exposed, and our tactical advantage has been diminished.”Orlov turned slowly, his cold eyes locking onto Viktor. “Diminished, but not lost,” he said, his voice icy yet calm. “Aiden Romanov and his merry band of fools have underestimated what happens when you provoke a wounded animal.”He leaned against the edge of the table, his fingers steepled in thought. The tension in the room was palpable as he calculated his next move. Then, with chilling resolve, he issued his commands.“Activ

The room was dimly lit, the only source of light coming from the glowing screens of laptops and tablets spread across the table. Aiden leaned forward, studying the holographic blueprint of Orlov’s command center. The building was a fortress, surrounded by high walls, multiple guard posts, and an advanced surveillance system. “This is insane,” Silvana said, her voice heavy with concern. “There’s no way we can get in without setting off every alarm in the city.” “We’re not going in through the front door,” Aiden replied, his tone resolute. “Orlov’s security is focused on keeping threats out, but every system has a weak point. We just have to find it.” Katarina, seated to his left, pointed to the blueprint. “What about the ventilation shafts? They’re narrow, but they could provide a way in.” “Too risky,” James said, his voice crackling through the comms. “Orlov’s likely installed motion sensors and heat detectors in the vents. You’d be caught before you made it ten feet.” Aiden

The warehouse exploded in a fiery cascade, sending shockwaves through the surrounding industrial district. Aiden and his team were already several blocks away, hidden in the shadows of an abandoned alley. The force of the blast lit up the night sky, and the sound of sirens in the distance signaled the authorities were on their way. Aiden crouched behind a rusted dumpster, catching his breath. His heart pounded against his chest as he glanced at Silvana, who was busy wiping soot from her face. Katarina leaned against the wall, her expression grim, while Nikolai kept a wary eye on the road. “That was... louder than expected,” Silvana muttered, adjusting her comms. “It had to be,” Aiden replied, his voice steady but low. “We needed to send Orlov a message—and buy ourselves time.” Katarina let out a sharp breath, tossing her empty pistol magazine to the ground. “We sent a message, alright. But now Orlov knows we’re targeting his supply lines. He’ll retaliate, and it won’t be subtl

Aiden paced back and forth in the dimly lit warehouse where Nikolai had parked the decoy truck. The air smelled of rust and oil, and the flickering fluorescent lights above cast long, restless shadows across the room. Silvana and Katarina stood nearby, sifting through the contents of the crates with grim determination. “This doesn’t add up,” Aiden muttered, running a hand through his hair. “Why would Orlov risk exposing these weapons just to throw us off? There has to be something we’re missing.” “He’s stalling us,” Katarina said, her voice sharp. She tapped the lid of one crate with the butt of her gun. “This whole thing is too clean. There’s no tracking, no additional intel—nothing that ties these weapons back to his bigger operations.” Silvana nodded, holding up what looked like a blueprint for the weapon designs. “These are prototypes. High-tech, yes, but not functional. Orlov’s pulling a bait-and-switch.” Nikolai, leaning against the truck, crossed his arms defensively. “
