AIDEN'S POV.I felt a mixture of shock, disbelief, and a deep sense of betrayal as I discovered the truth — one of my most trusted employees was responsible for sending the video that tarnished my image reputation to his enemy. The weight of this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks, and a surge of emotions washed over me. At first, I could hardly comprehend how someone I considered loyal and dedicated could commit such an act. I had built a strong bond of trust with my employees, especially this particular individual, who had been by my side through thick and thin. The thought of someone so close turning against me felt like a personal betrayal, shattering the foundation of my professional and personal relationships. As the realization sank in, anger and disappointment consumed my thoughts. How could I have been so blind to the true nature of this person? I had entrusted them with sensitive information, relying on their loyalty and discretion. The footage from the CCTV tapped
MIA'S POVIt's been a week since Aiden made the discovery about the mastermind behind all the bad things that has happened and he still can't wrap his mind around it.We have heard nothing about her. It's like she has gone into hiding especially, knowing that her photograph is all over the media as well as the airports, roads and seaports. Sooner or later, she would have to come out. It is as though destiny doesn't want us to get to the bottom of all of these. Because, each time it seems like we are about to break free, that freedom will be snatched from our hand one way or the other. Regardless of all this, we decided not to live in fear anymore. At least, since the restoration of Aiden's business and reputation, we have been leading a peaceful and fear free life. Things were almost returning back to normal in the house. Aiden is constantly at work trying to put everything in order. It has been from one meeting to the order and one traveling to the other. However, each time he goe
MIA'S POV"Hello Aiden, I was looking forward to meeting you here. May I join you?"I raised an eyebrow at her words. Looking forward to meeting him? " What do you mean by that? Are you stalking me? " Aiden asked in an angry tone.She laughed, " Not at all. It was a mistake. May I join you?" She asked again How rude and uncultured. I was immediately irritated but I tried as much as possible not to let her presence bother me. I mean, she definitely saw Aiden with a woman sitting right opposite to him. She didn't even acknowledge my presence let alone say Hi. She sat down right next to him without his permission. I became very much interested in the movie that was playing right in my presence. People by now already know Aiden is in a relationship with me. It was aired live on air. Doesn't she watch TV or listen to the news? Even if she doesn't do any of these, her common sense should have at least told her that for a man and a woman to be on a lunch date in this particular place
AIDEN'S POV I got a call from the police officer who is actually in charge of Rose's case, asking me to come to a particular location where he was with the other police officers.It has been a week and we haven't heard anything from her or from the police. I knew that Mia had work today and would probably be on set right now. So, I didn't bother calling her but I left her a message. I must confess, my business has been doing better than I had imagined since I came back to the business world once again. Mia is equally doing well for herself. She is living her dream right now and I'm glad I allowed her to do what she wanted instead of holding her back. And she faces us in almost all the fashion magazines in California. As for Audrey, she has also gone back to her contract life in statistics. And I have never seen her as happy as she is with Jordan since our parents died. It is more like Jordan is a medicine to her soul just like Mia is to me.I got to the location and it was an ab
AIDEN'S POV"Let me guess, you want to tell me she is dead? And that she isn't the one behind the whole thing? I already know my love and I don't blame you for it. I know you are trying your best.""But…but, how did you know about it?" "My love," she placed both her hands on mine on the table before proceeding with her words." We have been together for months now. Isn't it enough time for me to get to know you? As soon as I heard the sound of your voice on the phone, I knew exactly what you were going to say. And don't forget you already informed me that you were going to meet with the police officer who is in charge of the case. So please relax. We will get to the bottom of this together. Besides, I already knew she wasn't working alone. She was just a puppet."I just stared at her in bewilderment. She sure knows me as she said. I took in a breath of relief after hearing her words. "Why are you so perfect Mia?" "Perfect? I'm not perfect Aiden and you know it. I just happened to u
MIA'S POV" Patricia, we have nothing to discuss anymore to start with, let alone, to discuss in private. Just leave me the hell alone." Aiden snapped at her. " Fine, if that is how you want it Aiden. I wanted to save you the head before but you leave me with no other choice. You have a son Aiden." Patricia said. " WHAT!??" Aiden asked in shock. " Yes! We have a child together." The shock in Aiden's face said it all. For a moment, he was unable to say a word to this claim as he made a quick mental calculation. " You have got to be kidding me, Patricia. Just what nonsense are you blabbering about? Is this some kind of trick that you just came up with or something?"I watched the two of them in silence as they discussed the possibility of Aiden having a child with Patricia. "Does it look like I'm joking with you about this Aiden? This is a child that we are talking about here. Why would I joke around with something as serious as this?"" Ummm!! Aiden, I think I better wait in the
UNKNOWN PERSON'S POV"You can't be serious with your demand yet again." I snapped at my colleague. " I mean, you can't constantly be demanding for money from me like I have it stacked somewhere just waiting for you to demand it."" Hey, you don't speak to me that way. And need I remind you that I'm not begging you for your money neither am I demanding it from you. I need money for something urgent."" Look, this is wrong. I haven't demanded money the way you do since the day I started working with the boss. I'm afraid and I don't want to get into trouble."" Exactly, I don't want to get you into trouble and that is the reason why I'm telling you to get me the money I demanded for. I don't want to hurt you because I have come to like you a lot but at the same time, I'm an impatient person. Tell the boss that I need some money if you don't want me to tell Sir Aiden on you two. As it is, I'm not afraid of going to prison. Because, I have got nothing to lose. But how about you? I don't kn
UNKNOWN PERSON'S POVMy colleague had a sinister smile and said, "You've got to be kidding…....."Before those words were completely out of her mouth, I heard a loud bang noise. It was the sound of a gun.At first, I thought I had died. When I realized what happened was when I saw the gun in the hand of the boss and the lifeless body of my colleague with a surprised look on her face on the ground. My knees began to shake profusely out of fear and panic. I whimpered and covered my mouth with my palm to muffle my sounds.What just happened? Oh my God! Oh my goodness!! She is dead!! My teeths started shattering with a sudden cold. I shut my eyes real tight, afraid of opening them not knowing what to expect. Not knowing if I'm going to die today just like my colleague. At least, if I was going to die here, I don't want to have such a look on my face. I shut them even tighter when the boss ordered me to open them. Afraid that if I did, it would be my turn to die next."Hey! Open your e
