Aiden,
It's been over two days since the incident with the lady at the club occurred. She hasn't cashed out the cheque I deposited at the head bed. Is she trying to play saints? Cause I don't see any person who gets the opportunity to get some money and refuses to grab it
Well, I don't give a f*ck if she decides to grab the money or not. The most important thing is I paid her. The last thing I want to see now is her face, cause I'm suffering already for what happened that night.
That said, I packed my Bugatti la Voiture noire in the parking lot and got out of there, heading to my office. There's this Toyota Camry I noticed in the garage. It has been following me for quite some days now. I don't know if I'm hallucinating but whatever the case is, I got important things to attend to first.
My head is crowded up with stuff, and worst of all, my mum called two hours ago to let me know her private jet will touch down in my city in the next three hours.
She was perhaps my mother, but the idea of her visiting me scared me off. It scared me off because she had refused to respect my decision. The decision of being a bachelor for life.
I didn't want to get married.
I didn't want kids.
I didn't want a woman to control my movement.
I just wanted to multiply my billions, play my life and enjoy the memories that came with it.
But she wanted the opposite. She wanted grandchildren, she wanted a daughter-in-law. I'm pretty sure she's here for us to talk about that.
She had been pestering me to come home, but I won't. I told her I was much occupied with my company. I guess after waiting for long without seeing me, she decided to come by herself.
"Mr. Aiden, I brought your coffee. Do you want something else?" My secretary jolted me out of my thoughts. This is what scared me the most when working with unprofessional people. After reminding her to never address me unless I permitted her to do so, she dared asked me a question.
"Haven't I made it clear that you only talk to me when I permit you to do so? Now get your belongings out of my company and never you show yourself here." I glared at her dangerously.
"Sir please don't do this. I started working here just two days ago. Please Sir," She assembled her hands together, and begging.
I looked at her face and just then I realised I had not seen this face before. She was practically the fourth secretary have had in two weeks. I didn't hesitate to fire them because I hated working with people who weren't conscious. I hated clumsiness.
My phone rang which made me shift my gaze away from her to that of my phone. It's mother, "Hello," I said, my voice growing softer.
"Hello, son. I'm at the airport." She said, her voice low and intimidating.
"I-I'll be there mom." I stammered before ending the call.
I realised my filthy secretary was still in my office, observing me, "If you don't get out of here, then I'll fire you!" I let out a growl.
"Thank you so much, Sir, God bless you." Those were the last set of words she let out before rushing out of my office.
At the same minute, my driver walked in. He was asking if he could go pick up my mom at the airport. "No," I said to his face. My mom was very complicated. She won't stand the fact I sent my driver to pick her up.
"I will do it by myself." That said, I grabbed my car keys from my desk and dashed out.
Arrived the airport, I'm searching for a comfortable place to pack my car. I scanned the environment and I could see her seating on a bench with her handbag clutched to her petite body.
"Mother," I said, giving her a hug after parking my car.
"What took you so long?" She scolded me, "I gave you a call 40 minutes ago. What other trash will you say this time around? You were in a meeting with your employees, is that it?" She snorted.
I took a deep breath before responding, "Of course you know I will never place my employees before you, mom. I was caught up in traffic, sorry for coming late." I said, though she was still angry after me. But then, I know what she wanted.
She wanted me to tease her.
She knows well I'm not into these romantic things. Anyway, just for her sake, I'll try putting a smile on her face.
"Smile for your boy now, momma." I caressed her jaws with my palms, smiling at her. Though she wants to smile, she tried to hide it away from me. But then, it escaped from her mouth.
"Okay, okay. That's fine. Mommy pardons her little boy for today." she pulled me into a tight hug. It was so good to be under my mom's arm.
I took her mini bag and placed it in the back of the car. I opened the car door, shoving my hand for her to walk in. Next, I got it and roared my car to life.
After five minutes of riding, I asked to know where she wanted me to drop her off, "Mom, do you want me to take you to my house or would you want to settle at the hotel?" I asked politely. Sometimes, she wishes to stay in one of our hotels and sometimes, she wanted to have me fully under her control. I pray she decides to stay at the hotel, cause I'm not ready for any discussion.
"Why are you asking? You want me to go to the hotel so you can keep bringing sluts to your house, not so?" She said her voice growing softer.
Sluts to my house? Where the hell did she get that from again? Except for Miller, no other creature had the right to step into my house, worse of all a lady. No, that's not me.
"I have good news for you, son. Let's get to your house first." I heard her say.
-:-
A few minutes later, we are at my mansion and I was mesmerized to see my dining table filled with food. My maids had no idea my mom was coming, how did they… Wait, wait. Does my mom use my maids to spy on me? I should have thought of that. Anytime I did something stupid, she was always calling to check on it. I'll pass on it this time, next time I won't hesitate to sack them all.
"Son, you should take a bath. We are expecting a guest in less than an hour," she said with a winning smile on her face. Her voice echoed in my system. How come I was receiving a guest in my house without being aware of anything?
This can't be happening!
Aiden,Not wanting to aggravate the situation at hand, I simply nodded my head in response before moving to my room. I knew the guest she was talking about was non-other than a lady. As usual, she still tried to matchmake me with the daughter of one of her billionaire friends.I took a cold bath. Moving to my closet, I picked out grey pants, a white handless shirt and flipped them on. Next, I strolled down to the living room, I knew she was seated there.She clasped her hands firmly when she saw me walking towards her, "Don't tell me you would be dressed this way for dinner?" she asked surprised by my looks."Mom, please let's not do this tonight." I was tired of the constant dispute with my mom. No day passed without us having an argument.I honestly don't know why she didn't love the clothes I was putting on. It was just dinner, and I honestly don't give a fuck about who she invited over. While trying to make her resonate, we both heard a car hunk outside the gate."Fast, darling. G
Clarissa,TWO MONTHS LATER It's been over two months now since I got my degree. I spent most of my time searching for a decent job. I was tired of working for Paddy Bio, given that it didn't fit what I studied in school. Also, I found it nasty.Two months of submitting my CV in different structures. But each time I walked into any of them, I was asked the same question. "Who sent you here?" Like, if you had no one important in society, you could not work for one of the big companies in the area. Is that what life was all about? I guess a poor, low-key lady like me had no place in society.Unable to find a job for the moment, I was home managing the little cents Virginia left me every morning before going to work. Her attitude towards me changed since the day I spent the night with that good-for-nothing soul. She felt responsible for what happened that night, but I didn't blame her at all. Maybe it was written in my destiny that the person who was going to take my virginity away from
Aiden,The elevator door dings open, with my briefcase in hand, I walked out and quickly reached to my office. I removed my coat jacket and arranged it behind my chair. Next, I went through the already scattered files which were on my table. I had to go through the proposals that I received.I already signed a contract with Mac borel's firm last month. This happened in Singapore. After that, I received another proposal from a oil and gas firm in Thailand, he was requesting a five years contract but he couldn't provide a decent price for my services. I don't work for peanuts. Nope, I don't do that. I already proved to the entire world that my firm has the best service ever.What I find surprising about this is the fact that I have not been paying full attention to my job, especially with my mom who hasn't allowed me to rest by myself since she arrived.Her last visit didn't end well because of the constant harassment from her path and now she's back. The only good thing here is that sh
Clarissa,I'm in the kitchen trying to make something for myself. It's the third time I tried making something, but my stomach won't just accommodate it. I tried taking French toss and tea, but it didn't sink down, I flushed it and made matched potatoes and grilled chicken. Still, my stomach rejected it. I'm now trying to prepare African jellof with enough pepper. Hope the baby will accept it this time, I need him or her to understand that we don't have enough money to live a fancy life.After stewing everything and placing it on fire, I returned quickly to the living room to continue the football match that I paused. The hormones these days are causing terrible things to my system. To the point that I seat in front of the TV and watch football, my baby will surely be a boy."Hey, isn't that something burning?" I heard Virginia's voice from the interior.Hehe, I jumped out of my chair, and before I could realize it, I slipped down the floor. I totally forgot I placed a cup of water on
Charles wale,Have been standing at the other section of the road for the past forty-five minutes, waiting for my so-called brother to show up himself. He walked into the building and have only been seeing him from the glass windows. I don't want to miss a single detail concerning his life.In mid-rise jeans, a button-down shirt, and a baseball cap covering my face. My one hand was tucked in my jean, and the other hand was placed on my cap to help control and have a broad view of Aiden's activity.While observing him, I momentarily piped at the Kia Picanto that was wrongly parked in front of the bank. That car belonged to an old friend of mine. If anything happens to it, then I'm good as dead. I promised to pay him double once I sort out this issue. I changed my car because I noticed Aiden had remarked on my Toyota. It was no longer safe for me to walk around with it.Okay, okay… That's him, he just walked out in a silver coat. He was talking to a huge personality, who in turn smiled
Aiden,The weekend has been a long one for me, busy and most especially noisy. I took it as an advantage to renew my wardrobe and run other errands I knew I wouldn't be able to do throughout the week.Mom left one week ago, which gave me that liberty I had been missing.My countenance was filled with surprise when I spotted Miller and Gabriel shopping in the same boutique as me."Aiden, is that you?" Gabriel stated. His grin widened as he watched me with surprise written all over his face."Yes, as you can see for yourself." I said firmly."Long time no see. How many years is that? That should be three years ago." He said, his face covered with smirks."Yeah! You are right, it's been three years." I said annoyance mixed in my speech.Gabriel is an old friend from the university. We attended the same schools and even started a business together. That's when we were very young and naive. At that time, we were just trying to follow our parents steps who were all billionaires.After the f
Clarissa,"Where have you been all this while? Have been searching for you." I asked with annoyance mixed in my speech."I am so sorry that I had to take some distance," Aiden replied nervously. He tilted his hair in an awkward manner."Why did you go so long? Is it that you don't love me?" I halted in my speech and looked in his eyes, to see how he was going to react, "We are both expecting a baby." I placed my hands on my belly and began contouring it in invisible strokes."Do you mean you are expecting my baby? That's good news. Have always wanted to be a father, and I'm glad you are about to give me that opportunity." Aiden said. He took me in his arms."Will you marry me?" He knelt and presented a ring before me.At this point, I heard someone rubbing her hands on my wrist. I gasped before waking up from my long sleep."Oh, calm down darling. What's the matter?" Virginia addressed me. She wore a surprised face."It was just a dream." I placed my hands on my aching head."What dre
Aiden,The past few days for me has being hell. The Billionaires' Award is coming up in a month, and this whole shit is stressing me out. Not only have I been nominated for three awards, but I'm to host a party after that. Have never experienced this issue before, so I don't know how it works.Not withstanding, I got an invitation from a publishing house. That's where I rendered myself this morning before resuming for work. I must say their offer was tempting and also ridiculous at the same time.Mrs. Charlotte Lamenz, the chief executive officer of Worldwide Publishing Ltc, wants to write a book about my firm. In this book, she wants everything about me to the published.Thinking of it, it was a good and a bad idea. Good because I was going to be exposed to more people than before, but the bad side of it was that I was going to become my haters' object, as through this book, they were going to try by all means to tarnish my reputation.Frankly speaking I had to think about all that b
Aiden,It’s Monday morning, and I’m looking as hot as hell. This is because I accepted Mrs. Charlotte’s proposal. The proposal of appearing on her next book. Last night, I got an email from her team, requesting some photo shoots for the cover of the book. This is something I’m not quite open to, but for the sake of this project, have got to give it my all. I took some time to go through some of her past achievements and I could tell she really has influence. This is going to help me get the exact influence I have being craving for.Not to say I am not famous. In the city, most of the people know me for the business maniac I am. Apart from my businesses, I haven’t been able to create another life for myself. I just want to prove to my family and the rest of the world that although I ain’t married, I can create a life out of my business.Dressed in a deep crimson trouser, made of silk chiffon, light-coloured shirt and a pair of brown brogues, I glared at myself through the mirror oppo
Clarissa,An alarm ranged annoyingly beside my bed and I angrily slammed the buzzer. I had been sleeping since yesterday at 6 pm trying to run away from what I saw. The little toddler in me made it impossible for me to kill myself in drinking. Hence, drugging myself to a long night sleep was the only option."Damn, my head ache." I let out as I struggled to step down from the bed. My eyes were blurry making it impossible for me to see where I was placing my foot. I had to hold the edge of my bed to help control my steps. After struggling for some minutes, I managed to get to the bathroom. I washed my face, my body and dressed. After which I closed the room door behind me. I was heading to the kitchen to make something for myself. By this time of the day, I’m sure Virginia must have prepared already.“Oh, there you come. I was about to come pick you up. Please seat down and have something.” She said, her voice echoing down my system.This baby I’m carrying has brought a change in Virg
