"Summer, the control room is always guarded. How do you expect me to go in and feel that footage when the securities are in there?" Amira questioned hitting her forehead while pulling out a handkerchief and wiping the perspiration that had filled her face.

"Amira, I can't teach you how to make your bed and still teach you how to lie on it. You'd have to find a way to do that." Summer yelled from the other end and ended the call almost immediately leaving Amira frustrated.

"Okay, I'll have to figure it out. I have to find a way." She said to herself like she was reassuring herself and straightened her dress. Washing her face to wipe off every trace of tears, she retouched her makeup and walked out.

Taking the elevator to the control room, as she stepped out, the microphone that was connected to the whole building began bellowing.

"Every worker should head to the ground floor immediately." That was Aiden's personal assistant passing the news of the sudden work lockdown from the c

    Amira was surfing through her phone when she saw an email from Aiden's company. Her mind did a little jump as she wasn't sure if it was directly from the company or if this was Aiden. Had he already found out that she was the one who pushed Marina down the stairs? It's been three days that the company was on their off and those three days were the worst days that Amira had ever experienced in her entire life. Her mind was never at rest, she felt like at any moment her mind would skip and she found herself dying slowly. She slowly opened the mail to see that it was a forwarded message from the company to all the workers. They were to resume work the next day and she took in a deep breath. At least, she hasn't gotten any mail from Aiden or calls that suggested he had found out yet that everything was fine right? She woke up early the next day as she wanted to be one of the first people to come to work the next day. As early as 7 am the next day, Amira was present at the company w

    "Who are you?" She muffled in hushed tones as the man's eyes sent all kinds of warning signals down her spine. "Oh sweetheart, you don't have to know anything about me. Though I'm sure we would work quite well together that is if we work together after all seeing that we have a common enemy." The stranger whispered and her eyes widened wondering if he would quickly end his life right there and right then. Wait, was the common enemy they had Marina? Did he hate Marina as well? Why did he look like the older version of Mr Aiden? Those were the questions that ran through her mind. "Are you going to kill me?" She whimpered and he smiled broadly. "Don't think me a villain sweetheart, if I wanted to kill you, I would have probably lodged a bullet into your head when you were pacing around your room. And if that would have been too suspicious, I would have just taken you down as you were about to walk through the gate of the office by 7 am this morning. Or better still, silently sli

    "What's going on?" Amira couldn't stop herself from questioning as she slowly took the seat that was directly opposite Aiden. "Amira, can you explain this?" Aiden's voice was low, hoarse, and commanding and people who had been around him the longest knew that was the worst time he could erupt. He stretched forth his hand showing her something on the screen of his phone and she squinted her eyes to stare at it properly. "What's that?" She feigned ignorance but her heart was thudding loudly in her chest as she stared at the contents of the screen. It was the footage from when she pushed Marina off the stairs. How did he know? Or had he checked the footage before the mysterious man would show up and delete it? "I should be asking you the same Amira." Aiden's voice was a low growl as he dropped the phone on the top of his table, placing his hand underneath his chin, he glared at her studying her facial features with a serious gaze. "Sir I have no idea what that is, I mean it co

    "Sorry for the unexpected visit, Mum and Dad," Marina said as she carefully took her seat surveying the place she had never known as home. She had always lived with her grandmother after her parents despised her. Speaking of despising, that's what they were here to talk about. "Wow...I mean, it's unexpected but you're welcome all the same. " Mrs Jones said as she took her seat beside her husband, whispering some things into her husband's ear before she excused herself and headed into the kitchen. Returning with a bottle of wine and 4 glass cups, a plate of sushi, and some leftover Thanksgiving chicken. "I'm so sorry, this is all we have since it's impromptu." She smiled laying them out on the table in the living room before taking his seat. "Oh, you shouldn't have bothered," Aiden said replicating their smile while holding Marina. She was still feeling very uneasy and with the way she was looking pale, he was sure she would be able to start up any conversation with her parent

    "If you're not, spell it out to me that you're not and give a million and one reasons why and how you're in love. Go ahead, say it. Or don't. Let's continue this conversation sometime later. " They had already gotten to the door and pushed it open to find Aiden and Mr Jones, Marina's father playing Chess. "There has to be a mistake there, you can't possibly be pushing off all my knights. You're leaving my king and queen unsecured." Mr Ford was complaining oblivious to the presence of the ladies. "Let's see what would happen if I move my knight here. I should be able to knock down your queen and—" "Hello to the both of you too. What did we miss?" Marina finally broke the silence and both of the men jerked their heads to stare at the women who were standing near the door. "You're back so early." Aiden was sulking and Marina almost brushed into laughter. It was rare for him to be sulking so it was clear that he had been enjoying the game which they had interrupted. "Wait, does t

    “Check the caller ID already and let me know if I'll have to school whoever it is." Mrs Jones was visibly annoyed but the annoyance only grew when she saw the caller ID. "An unknown number? It's an unknown number, who is this creep?" She questioned and Marina hit the Nader button almost immediately only for Jayden's vige to come through. "Hello, Marina." Jayden greeted and Marina just stared at the caller ID like she was going insane with her eyes rolling on their own will. "Who is it?" Her mum asked and Marina stared at her before answering. "Jayden Hawthorne" Marina stated pronouncing the name like it was some kind of bile in her tongue, her face scrunched up like someone who was irritated by the name she just pronounced. Of course, she was irritated. "Jayden Hawthorne! Hold on, the same Jayden Hawthorne that rejected you at the altar? He's the same person—Give me that phone." Marina's mum instructed but didn't wait for Marina to pass the phone over as she snatched the phon

    “Wakey wakey Sleepyheads, I know that you all woke up by 2 because I woke everyone up with my tantrums but this is the natural time you should be up from your sleep already because what are you doing asleep? Detach from your beds, we have a long day this morning." Marina's mum yelled from the other side of the door to Marina's room. "Good morning mum." Marina greeted as she opened the door with a smile on her face. "Come on out, you know I meant what I said about us going shopping." Her mum stated and she nodded in agreement. "Of course, I know. But I would have to stop in by my company first." Marina answered and her mum nodded likewise. A few minutes later, the house was bubbling with liveliness as everyone was up chattering, and laughing, it was just a serene view of love and harmony. After breakfast, Mrs Jones dragged Marina to go shopping while Aiden left with Mr Jones to pay a visit which they preferred not to call a peace treaty visit to the Hawthornes. MARINA'S COSM

    Mr Jones, I'm not sure we have an appointment so what brings you to my house?" Mr Hawthorne asked, his eyes darting to the direction of Jayden's study room every now and then as he tried to remain cautious in whatever he said to Mr. Jones "Of course, we don't have an appointment but coming to see you was more impromptu and very essential." Mr. Jones stated, his anger rising the more he thought about how everyone had awakened because of Jayden. "Well then—" Mr Hawthorne started but Mr Jones was irritated by the very presence of any Hawthornes and just wanted to state his deal and leave so he acutely cut him off abruptly. "Allow me to finish. This isn't a contracted marriage affair that we are talking about so why don't you listen to me first before trying to jerk in your suggestions which won't be needed because I didn't come here to listen to your jamboree." Mr Jones stated, his eyes red with anger as he halted at Mr Hawthorne who had no other option but to shut his mouth up. S

    "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
