UNKNOWN PERSON'S POVIn the dimly lit room at the heart of their operation, two villians sat across from each other, a triumphant smirk etched on their faces. One is a woman and the other is a man. They had successfully executed their dastardly plan, bringing down the once mighty business empire of Aiden. The taste of victory lingered in the air as they revealed in the aftermath of their malicious deeds. The woman carefully raised the champagne glass, the golden liquid shimmering under the ambient lighting. Sitting beside her was the cunning and ruthless mastermind with a penchant for manipulation. Together, they had meticulously crafted a web of deceit, exploiting Aiden's vulnerabilities and turning public opinion against him. The rumors they had spread were devastatingly effective. The whispers of Aiden's alleged actions - rape, impregnation, and poisoning - had spread like wildfire, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Overnight, Aiden had become a pariah, shunned by
MIA'S POVAs I held Aiden's hand in mine,my heart pounded in my chest as we stumbled upon the shocking headlines splashed across various news stations.The words seemed surreal, as if ripped from a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. The tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the words on the screen. It was too much to absorb at once. I dragged Aiden to the table and we ate our breakfast quietly. I could sense the wheels turning in his head. Once we were done having breakfast, we retired back to the room. I took out my phone and tried to search for reputable sources, desperate to find an ounce of evidence to disprove the claims but as the minutes turned into hours, and the allegations grew more elaborate, my world shattered around her. A whirlwind of emotions churned inside my chest - disbelief, anger, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. How could the media turn Aiden into a monster? We had always been so careful to protect our relationship and keep our personal life and the unfor
MIA'S POV"Fine, have it your way." I replied and left him alone. I don't understand why he's acting nonchalantly about this. He has lost almost all of his business partners. There is no day someone isn't pulling out his or her stock and it's breaking my heart.Jordan has been a very supportive friend and a brother to him. Even if Aiden has never defended himself since all of this started, Jordan took it upon himself to speak on his behalf. What is more baffling is the fact that these people seem to have every single information going on in his company. Since Audrey was at home, I decided to meet her in her room. I didn't bother knocking on the door. I just barged in like that. I saw laying on her stomach and pressing her phone. She was probably chatting with Jordan. I joined her on the bed and groaned out loudly. "What's wrong?" She asked me, " Your brother is so fucking stubborn. I can't keep watching him go down like this." I grumbled. " I need to do something about this and
AIDEN'S POVI don't know what those two are up to but I knew they were definitely up to something because they were acting sneaky. I know that they are both affected by all of this but there is absolutely nothing I could do to ease their worries.Mia wants to help but I don't want her to get more involved in this scandal than she already is. At least, she is seen as the victim here and not the villain which is okay by me. I can't stand to hear anyone say anything negative about her. Besides who knows, maybe the reason why they did this to me at this point in time is for them to use this opportunity to lure her out. And that is the reason why I have decided not to allow her to speak on this. I know she means well but of what benefit will it be for me to ransom my status in the country and world at large but end up losing her?I heard a knock on the door. I know it wasn't Mia because it's our room so she wouldn't knock before coming in. It must be Audrey then; I thought. "Audrey, th
AIDEN'S POV" How do you defend this? There is no evidence that someone indeed broke into his house. Is this some kind of make up story just to clear his name?" The interviewer asked Mia. I felt like going into the TV to knock some sense into her. It is hard enough that Mia has gone public just to clear out the air. Does she have to make it even more harder than it already is?"Can you believe this woman Jordan? Why would she even think that?""Relax buddy. I know it is annoying but she is just doing her job."" Doing her job? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Is this what you call doing her job? She is just looking for a way to make Mia stumble on her words."" I know how you feel buddy but let's see how Mia will handle this. I mean, she has been handling herself so well. She has been at the top of this interview right from the very beginning."I smiled as a sense of pride surged within me. Mia indeed is a very intelligent young woman. Her smartness is one of the reasons I love
AIDEN'S POV"If you still think I'm making all this up, I came here with my Aunt. You can ask her about it." Mia said to the interviewer. I can't believe the level she took this to. She even got her Aunt involved. I'm more stunned because her Aunt agreed to help. I was really touched by this gesture of kindness. I had always thought Mia's Aunt hated my gut but for her to do this, I was really touched. When all of this is over, because I know it will, I will make sure to reward her in a very big way. The voice of the interviewer made me focus back on the ongoing interview. "Why didn't you get the lady who claimed she was also raped by Mr Black arrested?" The interviewer asked Mia. " We were going to but somehow she found out and disappeared into thin air. And as for the other rumor about Mr Aiden poisoning me, like I said initially, they are all lies. Someone is trying to destroy his reputation and they waited for the perfect moment to carry out their plan. Aiden and his sister we
AIDEN'S POV" And to you, Aiden Black,if you're watching this right now,no matter the outcome of today's meeting, I just want you to know that I love you and will love you till the end of time." Mia said. With that, the interview came to an end. I could not believe what this heaven sent has done today. She even went as far as admitting her love for me on air and thanked the same people who spiked my drink for bringing me into her life. Who would have thought that this day would ever come? I have always had this guilt feeling at the back of my mind about what I did to her back then. And anytime I think about it, I have this fear that she will never truly forgive me of that horrible sin against her but there she was saying it on air. "Jordan, did you hear her? Did you hear what she just said?" I said, tapping Jordan excitedly like a teenager. "I did man, I did. Congratulations for landing yourself a rare gen this time around Aiden." Jordan laughed, " You deserved to be a happy man.
MIA'S POVI opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, thinking about what I had done the past week. I never really thought I could pull it out. If I said I wasn't scared to death going on air in order to clear Aiden's name, then, I'm being a blatant liar. To be honest, I didn't think it would make any difference if I did or didn't go. However, I knew I had to do something. Even if it meant going against Aiden's stern order. The beautiful thing about this is that my efforts didn't go to waste. It has been over a week since my live broadcast and everything has returned back to normal for He has resumed back to work fully and regained all of his losses and more. Aiden has refused to accept those who were the first to withdraw their share from his company back as his business partners. His business now booms more than it ever did before he lost almost everything. He wouldn't stop thanking me for taking that bold step because it didn't only restore his business back, it cleared his re
