"Is there something going on that I need to know about, Amira?" Jayden queried with a scrutinizing gaze and Amira shuddered. This wasn't the time to blow her cover and make everything that she had worked for already mess up.

"Jayden, what in the world do you mean? You know I don't mean it like that. I just don't want you to stress yourself out for me, like I told you; I want to experience this work life just as every other person here." Amira said adjusting Jayden's tie as she she slyly rubbed his shoulders in a bid to twist his reasoning and make him take his mind off how tense she was a few minutes ago.

"It's as if you don't want me close. Like you're getting detached as the day goes by. Like yesterday, you didn't even return home and you just told me over text by midnight that you just wanted to spend the night at your place. That's not like you." Jayden complained but from the look in his eyes, Amira knew that he was slowly letting go of it.

"I'm sorry, it's just work," she c

    Amira dialed Summer's number, her hand trembling with anger and frustration. As soon as Summer answered, Amira blurted out the news. "Summer, it's Amira. I just got out of a meeting with Aiden. He suspended me from the company!" There was a pause on the other end of the line before Summer responded, her voice laced with shock and disbelief. "What? That can't be right! What happened?" Amira took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "He claims I've been 'underperforming' and that my 'attitude' has been a problem. But we both know that's not true. He's been gunning for me since I spoke up against his precious wife. I think Marina has a hand in all of this." Summer's voice was fierce. "That's ridiculous! You're one of the hardest workers I know. We'll get to the bottom of this, Amira. I'll talk to HR and see what's going on." Amira felt a surge of gratitude towards Summer. "Thanks, Summer. Just knowing you're on my side makes me feel better. I'll keep you posted on what happens next

    "I'm still trying to understand why you would give Amira the go-ahead to stay over at the guest house knowing well that I own the company and I make the rules around my company," Aiden yelled as he was physically vibrating leaving the old man in thought of why his grandson was vibrating in such I tense level of anger. Aiden had gone over to see his grandfather the next day after the incident with Amira not because he couldn't enforce his own rules but because he didn't want to. That would mean bypassing his grandfather and though he was tough and rigid Eve to his father, he had never disobeyed his grandfather apart from the time he had to get married without his consent. "I could easily fire her completely but I'm still basking on the little, tiny thread of respect that I have left for you which you seem to be shredding bit by bit." Aiden bellowed as he slammed his fist into the table right in front of his grandfather who his grandfather sat there looking unperturbed. "Firstly, m

    Chapter 34 "Tsk, like father like son. What did I do to warrant this now?" Summer asked rolling her eyes as she crossed her legs on top of each other. "Summer, have you been troubling your brother's wife?" The old man asked taking a series of deep breaths to calm himself from yelling at Summer. "Why are we still talking about Marina? Did she say I trouble her because I don't remember doing such?" Summer sighed as she stood up from the one-seater chair and went to the water dispenser across the room, gulping down a glass of water she went back and resumed her seat. "Summer, I want you to leave their house." The old man said abruptly and Summer's eyes widened before she regained composure. "Why? I just started bonding with my sister-in-law. No, I won't leave." Summer protested but a glare from her granddad was enough to shut her up. "That wasn't an option to consider, it was an order." The old man yelled and Summer kept mute having nothing to say at that moment. "Dad, so you're j

    "What?" Summer, Aiden, and their grandfather all bawled out in jinx. "Yeah. Amira and Summer are quite close and the guest house being a little bit far away from our house is kind of an issue for their friendship so Amira should just move in with us." Marina concluded and Aiden was at a loss for words. "You're going to be okay with Amira staying with us in your husband's house?" Summer found herself asking and Marina nodded her head in positivity. "Yeah, so just tell her to come back with you. If that is all, I and Aiden would take our leave now." Marina said and with that, after exchanging some pleasantries with Aiden's grandfather and a little chit-chat, the couple were on their way home with silence hanging like a mist between them. AIDEN'S MANSION. "I don't understand this." Aiden blurted out the instant they walked past the front door and his tone of speech alerted the maids in the living room cleaning making them scurry away in fear. "What?" Marina queried feigning ig

    "Marina, I need you to leave the room right now!" He warned and as she took several steps closer to him, he took several steps away from her till his back hit the hard wall. "Marina, I said leave!!!" He yelled and the next minute, he was throwing the bottle of wine that was resting on one of the unbroken glass tables in the room. "I'm going to hurt you and you don't want that so just leave while you still can," Aiden warned as the beads of sweat on his forehead glimmered under the white light in the room "Aiden, I know you want me to leave but you're right. I don't listen to instructions, they're not exactly my area of experience. Now do you mind telling me what's going on with you?" Marina pressed and Aiden stared at her in disbelief. "Marina, please listen to me and leave." He yelled slamming his fist into a wall and Marina shuddered. She had to leave, she needed to leave for her safety. This looked like an estranged murder scene but for some unexplainable reason, she felt

    2 weeks of Amira's suspension days were over and she had returned to work but she had been pretty low-key as the Juniors didn't listen to her as much anymore because she was one of the newest employees that got suspended just a few weeks after employment. To them, it was a mark of disgrace and an everlasting one at that. A new employee getting suspended not even up to a month after she resumed work, if she ever got another suspension, according to the contract...her career with the company would be ending alongside. "Amira, the boss wants to see you in his office right away." One of the interns casually informed her and was about to walk away when Amira called her back for a reprimand, the girl halted shrugging her shoulders at a comment made by someone else, and then flashed a smile to someone who had complimented her dress. "Are you even listening to me?" Amira yelled and the girl swiveled to stare at her while twitching her brows. "Perhaps, you'd just state why you called me

    "Mr Wellington, I don't see any need for you to come to meet me at the office, I just want to finish up some files but it would take me all night." Marina stared into the speaker but when she didn't hear a reply from Aiden's end, it confirmed that he had slammed the receiver back to its stead and was probably on his way to meet with her.All through Aiden's drive in the car, Aiden felt like his head had been clouded and it infuriated him. It took only the willpower for him to see Marina which made him not get in an accident.Anger was coursing through his veins and he realized what that meant when he caught his hands vibrating like a machine and we were unable to grasp the car wheels. Good for him that he brought his pills alongside him.Popping two of the pills, he slipped it into his mouth and chugged down a bottle of water whilst taking a deep breath alongside.Allowing his mind and body to relax for a bit, he started the car engine that he had previously stopped driving towards Ma

    "Okay, that's nice. But is discussing it by midnight the best time to have such an important conversation?" Marina asked as she lowered her gaze. She didn't know why but she couldn't look him in the eye. This wasn't the same man that had saved her from being a total disgrace at her failed wedding and this certainly wasn't the same man that had showered her with love and care ever since she got here. He was different and somehow, she couldn't see how it linked to Amira but this weird behavior started portraying the instant she asked Amira to come over and stay at their place. Though Amira hadn't moved in yet, so she wasn't sure if Summer had agreed to let Amira move in or they had decided against it. "I would choose whenever I want to have a discussion and if I say Midnight is when I want to, then midnight it is." Aiden stayed and she nodded slowly. "But I'm feeling pretty sleepy right now and yeah, you were right. I wouldn't have been able to do anything at the office as I'd

    "You know, I am completely fed up with your newfound attitude of coming home late without even giving me as much as a call," Marina whined as Aiden had his dinner. It Was late, about 10 pm in the night and Marina had to stay up, waiting for him to get back home. "I'm having my dinner, baby," he said, his voice low and husky, his eyes fixed on hers with an unnerving intensity. "Let me finish it up before you talk about all the ways you would kill me." He smiled, his lips curling up in a sly, seductive grin that made her heart skip a beat. "Although, I do have a favorite way I'd like to die - in your arms, with your hands wrapped around my throat." She felt a shiver run down her spine as he spoke, his dilated pupils making her heart flutter in her chest. But she refused to back down, keeping up her angry act even as her body betrayed her. "No, I am definitely serious, and I'm not waiting," she said, her voice firm, but her eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability. "Why were you late hom

    "What are you talking about?" Francesca decided to use the denial route as she didn't know exactly what Aiden had said. Though with the accusing look that she was getting from her dad, she knew that whatever Aiden had told him wasn't good at all. "Don't! Don't do that Francesca." Her dad yelled banging his hands on the table as he folded his fist while gritting his teeth in anger. "Daddy! What's going on? You're just going to believe anything he said because he told you that? Is that what you're doing to do?" Francesca fired back as she walked closer to the table matching her father's glare. "That's brutal," Aiden muttered. "That's your guilty mind talking right there, Francesca. How would you even know he told me anything bad if you hadn't started incoming yourself with bad activities?" Aiden shook his head and chuckled a bit, totally amused by the show that the father and daughter duo were putting on. "That's a little twisted," Aiden muttered again. "Out of everyone Francesca,

    "It's been a while boy, I'm kind of concerned that you came to see me. I'm actually on my way out so maybe, you would like to reschedule?" Francesca's dad adjusted his tie as he carried his briefcase in one hand ready to leave his office for an important meeting. "No." Aiden simply stated as he relaxed onto the rolling chair and wheeled it to a position where he was blocking the entrance. "What?" "I said no! You're not leaving here until we have a little nice chat, I have other places to be too so I won't waste much of your time as that would technically mean that I'm wasting my time as well." Aiden smirked and Francesca's dad went back to his chair, dropping his briefcase on the top of the table while Aiden wheeled the rolling chair back to the center of the office, I'm front of the table. "Are we going to have a problem?" Aiden queried as he tapped his chin and Francesca's father stared at him for a few seconds before chuckling lightly. "I don't think there is any reason for us

    "What's going on?" Aiden questioned as he got into his office a day after firing Francesca. The whole company was in a ruckus when he got there and the workers told him that all the Hods had called an impromptu meeting in the board room. A meeting that he wasn't aware of, it only meant that things were going haywire and he raced there. Aiden walked into the conference room, a sense of unease settling in the pit of his stomach. The heads of the different departments were already seated, their faces grim as they murmured to each other. One of them had to clear his throat in a suspicious way to alert the others that their boss was present in the room. "Good morning, everyone," Aiden said, trying to sound calm as he sat down with a lot of poise and confidence going on inside of him. He didn't look slightly disturbed by anything that was going on. "Good morning, Sir." They replied in unison, their voices laced with tension as Aiden perused their faces and expressions. "Is there a reas

    Francesca and Claw worked in silence, their movements swift and efficient as they disposed of Grim Jack's body. "Well, that's taken care of," Claw said, his voice low. Francesca nodded, her mind already racing with the implications. "Yeah, but we're not out of the woods yet. Aiden is still out there, and he's not going to stop until he gets what he wants and you know that means exposing you."Claw's expression turned grim. "We'll deal with him when the time comes. For now, let's just focus on covering our tracks." They dismissed everyone after Claw forced Amira on a date for some unknown reasons. After 2 days, Francesca walked into the lobby of Aiden's company, her heart pounding in her chest. "Can I help you?" the receptionist asked, her eyes narrowing. "I'm Francesca, the receptionist," Francesca replied, her smile confident. "I've been...out sick. But I'm feeling much better now."The receptionist's expression turned skeptical. "Uh, okay. Well, welcome back, I guess. B

    Claw dragged Francesca to his main study room and shoved her to the floor while she kept a straight face though it was mixed with hurt. He turned to Francesca, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and urgency. "Francesca, how could you betray me like this? I trusted you with everything." "You betrayed me! You helped Aiden escape, you were with him all these while and I wonder how I failed to realize that." He snarled, glaring grimly at Francesca who had her hands bound. Francesca looked up from where she knelt and stared at him, a look of surprise on her face as she repeated what she had been saying all the way here. "I know you're fed up with hearing this but what the fuck are you talking about, Claw?" She quirked her brows up and he slapped her across "Don't play dumb with me!" Claw spat. "I know it was you who told Aiden about our plans. You're the only one who knew that as a new member of my team. He couldn't have possibly figured out, that he isn't a genie." Claw r

    After a few minutes of sprinting, Aiden finally slowed down, ducking into a small alleyway to catch his breath. He leaned against the wall, his eyes scanning the rooftops for any sign of pursuit. "Hey Sir, you there?" The P.A.'s voice came through the earpiece, breaking the silence. "Yeah, I'm here. I made it out." Aiden replied, his chest heaving with exhaustion. " I've got a car waiting for you a few blocks from your location. It'll take you to your house." The P.A. stated and Aiden just let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding in. "And my phone?" Aiden questioned, pushing off from the wall and starting to move again. "Your phone is with the Chauffeur that would pick you up, they really fell for the trick." "Okay." As he turned a corner, Aiden spotted the car, a sleek black sedan, waiting for him by the curb. *CLAW'S MANOR: OAKVILLE* "What do you mean he's gone?" he snarled, his voice echoing off the walls as he banged his hands into the table whil

    OAKVILLE *Claw's Hideout* Aiden sat calmly in the room after being brutally tortured by Claw, his eyes fixed on the door as Claw's men approached him. He knew this moment would come, and he was prepared. Too bad his brother was a naive soul who didn't think before he acted. If he took even a fragment of his time, he would realize that Aiden already knew all this was going to happen. As the guards grabbed him, Aiden didn't resist. He knew it would only make things worse. Instead, he waited until they were distracted, and then he made his move. With a swift motion, Aiden used his knowledge of martial arts to take down the guards, one by one. He moved swiftly and silently, his training allowing him to avoid making any noise. Once the guards were unconscious, Aiden quickly made his way to the door. He knew the route out of the compound, having studied it beforehand. Pressing the button of the speaker in his ear that was too little for anyone to see, he whispered. "I'

    Marina paced to and fro the room as she felt an empty feeling inside her stomach. She didn't even know what to feel as she kept staring at the wall clock every second. The time read 10:38 pm and Aiden wasn't home yet, he didn't even try to reach her which was questionable. She tried to push away the growing sense of worry, telling herself he was probably just working late or had stopped to hang out with friends. But then on second thought, Aiden never went out with friends. She even began to wonder if he had any friends. She knew Aiden rarely came home late especially since she came back from the hospital so she couldn't sit still without her anxiety striking in. With every passing minute, Marina's heart sank more. She tried calling his number but the call wasn't going through. She sent a series of texts but it was left unreplied. She began to imagine all sorts of scenarios - car accidents, muggings, or worse. But why in the world was he not taking his calls? What was goi
