Kierra's POVI didn't bother knocking on the door. I was so angry. I could hardly think straight. Did Aden know where I have been all this while and didn't reach out to me? It would break my heart if I found this to be true.Many thoughts have been going through my mind. It brought me to one conclusion, Aden was not telling me something.I thought it weird for me to get a job with A&D Communications within a short period. There was a time I thought about this; that submitting the application and getting accepted for the job in A&D Communications was just too easy. But I brushed the thought away.Aden was surprised to see me barge in without prior notice or announcement, without having any regard for his privacy. He was alone, busy on his laptop on his desk."Kierra, what's the matter? Hope you are okay. He wasn't angry at the way I walked into his office. He was rather more concerned about why I was looking the way I did. " Aden, I came here because I need to know the truth about
Aden's POV"Give me a hand, big man" Tessy yelled as she tries carrying a box containing beef into the shop. Tessy was a woman with a small frame, she was less than five feet tall. She looked like a cute child whenever she was doing her tasks but was a force to reckon with whenever she started to yell. She could yell so hard that she would deafen whoever was within proximity.Just yesterday that I met her, she had yelled a dozen times and within that short period, I have known so much about her. If she wasn't yelling at Bright, she was yelling at Jack. I could see they were used to her yelling already."Ooh, sure," I replied. I had just arrived to work for the night shift. Today is my second day at work.I told Tessy not to worry about the boxes so I insisted on carrying the six boxes containing beef at once, to save me the time of coming back to carry them one after the other."Wooooh…I wish I could do that, just look at that Tess" I overheard Jack whispering to Tessy, pretending I d
Kierra's POV"Where is she? If anything happens to her. Be ready to lose your heads"I was on the bed with a duvet cover placed over me. I was trying to take in my surroundings. The last thing I remembered was jumping out of a fire and collapsing after.It was Aden's voice that woke me up. My body ached all over like I was whipped. "I gave you both a simple task, but due to incompetence, you couldn't do it. Idiots. If something had happened to her, I will not spare you""Alpha, we apologize, we were confused and attacked without warning. One moment she was with us and the next she wasn't. Someone knocked us out flat. We couldn't even identify the face" Noah said." He is saying the truth Alpha, we were knocked out. When we regained consciousness, we searched for Miss but we couldn't find her. Thinking she was abducted by the assaulter, it was after thirty minutes of searching that we found her unconscious by the side of a monument. Please Alpha, forgive us. I know we let you down. T
Aden's POVI and Menessa had planned to meet this weekend. I was looking forward to our meeting because we have so much to discuss."You look good, it seems my brother is treating you well, Madam Secretary '' I teased as she arrived at the venue we agreed to meet two minutes late."Haha... Your brother isn't that bad. Anyone who meets your brother will mistake him for an angel. Sometimes I find it hard to believe he could do something so evil to the people who were his family. Thank God I know better" "I am not surprised. He wouldn't be walking with a monstrous face, will he? He is good at being cunning. He willcreep onto you and lead you to your death just like he did to me when you least expect it. So be careful Menessa." "I think he has gotten more calm, happy and friendly now since the new lady came into his life" Menessa announcedIt took me a lot of courage to hear such words."So my brother is having a great time, falling in love with some lady he met while other women are ge
Kierra's POV"Madam Charity, can you help me out? My hair, It's stuck!" Madam Charity was toasting some bread, she kindly left what she was doing to help me.I was zipping up my dress when some strands got in the way. I felt pathetic. Out of impatience, I almost yanked my hair but later considered calling Madam Charity.It's annoying that a lady who could do unbelievable things with her abilities will be frustrated by strands of hair stuck in a zip.Girls with long hair also face such problems!"Don't worry I'll do it" Aden was offering to help me out. I observed lately that Aden has the habit of walking in when I least expect and offering to help me out with anything he can.I felt butterflies in my belly when he moved close. "How did he always know I needed help?" I wonderedHe made me shiver just by being this close to me. He told Madam Charity to continue with her task and he helped me take my hair out and zipped me up. Doing it seductively as his fingers brushed through my s
Aden's POV"What are you doing here?" Yelled Tessy, curiously."Hey Samson" Bright waved "Hi, Tessy. Bright, what's up man." "Samson, how's the weekend going?" Tessy asked "Great! This is Menessa, my friend. We were having a short meeting here" I answered smiling."Menessa, this is Tessy and Bright, my colleagues from Pizza Lovers.""Ooh, nice to meet you," Tessy said waving her hands "Nice to meet you both" Menessa replied, waving to Tessy and Bright."You have a beautiful friend, Samson. Invite her over to Pizza Lovers sometimes. Why are you having such a meeting here? Isn't it sunny today?" Bright said "We prefer meeting here" I answered"I would love to come when invited but I am a very busy person and I doubt if I'll be able to make it " Menessa gave an excuse while giving me a pitiful look."Busy! Nonsense. Don't say that. You can make time" Tessy asked, coming close to Menessa and holding Menessa's arm like a child."I am sorry, I can't come over. I'll have to be somewhe
Kierra's POV"Aden, Aden. Wake up… please… Aden"I was so frightened and confused. The last time I was this sacred and devastated was ten years ago.Aden had collapsed after he succeeded in destroying the light rods in the elevator. I thought I was going to lose him. I recalled the dream I had sometime back. "Was this what my dream meant?" I thought to myself, that there was an impending disaster looming over…Something of this nature had never happened before or it is possible the lighting system was malfunctioning.The doors to the elevator opened just in time. I carried Aden out, even while unconscious he looked in so much pain. He was quite heavy but that wasn't an issue for me as I knew what my strength is worth. His fair skin had turned greyish, with blisters all over. The damage the light caused to his body was bad.I was in tears, I could not call Lucian for help because we left him in the parking lot and he hadn't come up yet. I wasn't sure if Menessa had arrived yet.Now,
Aden's POV"Why do you keep talking to me in such a manner," the much older man asked"Hey man, I am not going to repeat myself. You aren't allowed in here. I told you to get out of here" Elliot yelled "Hey, Elliot you are being rude. Stop it! Do you know him?" Lisa whispered "It doesn't matter. He should leave" Elliot answered Elliot was causing a commotion, the man he was yelling at looked hopeless. Elliot seemed to be getting worked up over nothing. It wasn't like the man was doing anything bad or saying anything wrong, he just wanted to speak to Elliot and step into the pizza shop— well that's how it looked to me unless there is something I am not aware of."I don't want to see you here when I come back. I know what you are here for. You are not welcome here and I am not going to help you." Elliot spoke aggressivelyFrom close observation, Elliot seemed to have a history with this man. It just wasn't mere dislike, it looks like there was something going on between them."Ellio
