Narrator's pov "I can't believe you said that to her. Why are you this troublesome?." Aiden's voice rang into the office, getting everyone around scared and nervous. Whenever the boss is angry, they always get this way to avoid being fired. "Really? I am troublesome?." Fiona could not believe her ears. She couldn't believe Kathleen had the nerve to report her to her son. "Shameless woman!" She mumbled, her voice harsh and low. "You know how angry I get when I hear his name. If you could stop coming over to my house, I'd be grateful." He finished up and ended the call abruptly. Kat stood by the transparent door and listened. She didn't know if she should go in or not because she thought Aiden was still angry with her. Aiden looked up, then was surprised at seeing her. He waved at her to come in. Kat breathed out and walked into the office with a white transparent bag packed with food. She dropped it on the table and stood before Aiden. "I'm sorry." She said mildly, avoiding

Kat's pov. "Who did you say she was?" Elle asked me. I looked at her, "Aiden's cook." I replied, then looked back at Helena. I can't believe she tried to kill her baby. What if she died in the process? Gosh, is she crazy? I watched her hand move, and I looked at Elle, who saw the same thing, and Helena opened her eyes. She looked around the room, trying to discern what was happening around her, and then her eyes landed on me. "Sorry, Miss Kat. What's going on?" She asked, in a low voice. "You fainted," I replied. I watched as her expression turned into confusion, but it seemed as if it clicked as her eyes grew wide. "I'm sorry." She apologized and tried leaving, and we held her down. "Why are you apologizing?" I asked her, and she looked at Elle."Who're you?" She asked Elle, running her eyes on her suspiciously."She's my best friend and also the doctor who stopped you from dying. Why did you choose abortion?" I asked her back. "I don't know what you are talking about." She re

November 4th, 2016"Are you sure you're taking me to somewhere safe?." I, myself, was amused at my question. Aiden just came back from work and asked me to come out with him. I was in the kitchen, helping Helena with the chores, so she could rest early because of her baby.Aiden, on our way, asked me to close my eyes. Maybe he wanted to surprise me, but I don't find myself in that mood. I have been feeling somewhat tired since yesterday, and I had been sick but didn't want to disturb him. And it must be that I hadn't gone out for fresh air. I have been home since we came back from the trip. "Be careful." He mumbled. I was getting impatient already. Then he stopped, and slowly removed his hand from my eyes. I scoffed, "An amusement park?" I asked him, quite amused. Suddenly, he appeared in front of me, "Elle told me you loved coming here.." His face held confusion. "What?. Am I thirteen? Aiden, I can't believe you right now." I mumbled, and shut my eyes. The last time I had been her

Aiden's pov.After five minutes of driving to my mother's house, I arrived at the front and killed the engine. I got out and threw the keys at the guy who stood beside the building. As I walked in, searching for my mom."Aiden, you're here again."I flinched. "Oh my God. Stop scaring the shit out of me." I warned Cora angrily. "What? Did you do something wrong?" She asked and I rolled my eyes at her. "Where's mom?" I asked. She rolled back her eyes at me and walked away. "Bitch." I cussed and turned, then started walking into the living room. There was my mother, sitting in the armchair, reading the latest Vague magazine. I opened my mouth to acknowledge her, but she cut me off, "Lila Mila is so shameless. She destroyed her life, poor girl." She smacked her lips and then looked up. "Finally you visited." She sighed. "What's the problem?" I took a deep breath before walking further. I sat down on the cushion, looked at the lady beside her who moved away quickly. Then I cleare

Kat's pov."What's the time, Kat? Isn't Aiden supposed to pick you up?." Kat asked me and I heaved a sigh and relaxed on the cushion. My eyes look over at the door any minute that passes. I've been here for two hours, which we didn't agree on. He said he was going to talk to a business partner and told me to wait for him, so we could head home together. "I don't know. Aiden is someone that keeps to his word, and you know if he couldn't pick me up as earlier discussed, he would call me or send a driver." I replied, and straightened up. "I don't feel right. I think something is happening now." I added, and Elle rolled her eyes at me. She smacked her lips and left me alone in the sitting room. Buzz. My phone vibrated inside my pocket, I dipped my hand into my side pocket and took out my phone. It was Aiden. I answered. "Where are you?" I heard him ask immediately. His voice sounded serious and agitated. I wondered what was happening over there."I'm still at Elle's house." I replie

I watched Aiden check his phone, running his eyes on them, he took down the other hand that was placed on his hip. I saw it curled up in a fist. I didn't know what was happening right now, but all I knew was that seeing him this angry, something must have happened. I heard footsteps rushing towards me and I turned, then saw Jeremy, panting heavily. He didn't acknowledge me but immediately pushed the door to Aiden's room open. "I know about it," Aiden said, barely in a whisper. Jeremy bent down and clutched his heart as if trying to catch some breath. My phone rang. I reluctantly picked up. "Did you see the news?" Elle asked quickly. "What news?" I asked her back. "Hang up and check."Beep. I sighed and went onto the internet. My hand shook when I saw the reason why Jeremy had just run into the room. My breath ceased. Could a human do this?I opened the door and walked in. "Aiden…" I started but was cut off by Aiden's phone ringing beside him. I took a glance at the restricte

Narrator's povDylan crossed his legs in front of the shivering Helena, who was panicking over at the single sofa. Her two hands were visibly shaking and Dylan's looks at her were neutral. "I'm sorry, Master." Helena choked out the words like she was being forced to. She was afraid, she was the only one home. She didn't want anything to happen to her baby, though Dylan hadn't found out yet. And how the heck did Dylan find her? Well, Dylan can find her anytime, anywhere, anyway. "Why are you chickening out, Helena?" Dylan asked her coldly. She bit her lips and didn't answer him. It wasn't worth answering. "You have to get back to work. By now, what I planned for Aiden should have been working, but you let your emotions get the better side of you. Did you forget? Aiden murdered your only sister. If you did, I will have to remind you. You told me you wanted revenge, now you're backing out?" Those words seemed to strike her immediately. Her eyes grew wide, and she looked up at him.

My eyes shot open only to find myself covered in sweat. A dream, it was a dream. Letting out a shaky breath, I swapped a hand over my face. I grumbled under my breath, trying not to remember them again. They looked real, dad was smiling, mom was smiling, and they held hands together. They were standing in front of a white door waving at me. It was more like saying they were never going to see me again. I could tell by the light in the room that it was morning. What happened yesterday? How did I end up sleeping? I only remember being on the sofa with Aiden before blacking out. Mere thinking about it made my head throb painfully. Groaning, I placed the heel of my hands on my eyes and started massaging my scalp with my fingers as I believed it would ease the pain. "Here, let me do it." A hand covered mine and I jumped and let out a startled scream." Oh my God!." Turning my head to the side with wide alarmed calm sapphire eyes. I looked around the room and found I was in his room. "

"Stay away from her and read your books."Nicole turned from the words she was memorizing to her mother."Mom, are you okay?.""I should ask you that. Why did Lilly's mother call me now?. Answer me,"Aiden walks in immediately."What is going on, Honey?."

She ordered.Lilly and

"Nicole.." Lilly screamed, running towards her, she closes her locker and turned around."Xup, Lilly." She grumpily said.Lilly stopped smiling and asked her, "Why do you look sad?.""My mom disagreed, she'd asked me to bring you so she can see you."Lilly's face fell.Too bad."Well, my mom agreed. She'd asked to see the only friend who helped me with my school work."

When I was at her age, I'd never think of that," She finished and Nicole looked down."Who's this friend?, because I know you don't have friends," Aiden asked, making everyone look at him.

"Helena?." Kat called."Kathleen," Helena called back."Wow. You two know each other, but I thought you lost your memory forever," Clara said and earned a glare from Kat and Helena."You. How dare you?. How dare you destroy my life?." Kat fumed and started getting up. Her eyes had turned stone cold and her hands were clenched."Not only did you destroy Natalie's life, you went ahead to destroy hers?. Why do you keep hurting the people I care for?." Helena stated firmly. Her guns were firmly pointed at Clara."If you come close to me, I will kill you both." Clara stated with fear.Just then, the police came running around them with their guns. All pointing their guns at Clara."Get down now!." One of the policemen yelled at Clara.It didn't take long before Clara realized that she lost. She had lost her battle. Her eyes were fixated at Aiden who had come running to Kathleen.

She snatched the binocular away and rushed outside.She viewed from the front porch.She didn't know this person.Who's this person?.She squinted her eyes and took a look again.That face?.What?.…...End of recapKathleen stood at the middle of the field, looking towards the direction of Clara in which she had taken in. She breathed out, watching her come closer. She'd thought that Clara was one tough girl who fought a million times after seeing lots of huge fighting men beside her, but she thought wrong, Clara was an opposite.A girl who had a silk skin, beautiful eyes and innocent looks. She'd imagined if she at all had left a prison. Clara was beautiful and classic and…"Wow..you look different." Clara cut off her thoughts with a strong voice.Okay, Kathleen underestimated her looks. She's really rude.Kathleen didn't wanna go round the bush but said in a very straight tone."Where's my daughter?."Clara smirked."Ooh. You've got some balls now. I didn't expect to see you.""You

She breathed out and didn't look at him.Aiden walks further and stands in front of her, but doesn't touch her.Aiden mumbled, "Okay, I'm sorry." He apologized.Kat looked up, in her eyes, he was tired. He wanted everything to end, it was like everything was not gonna ever end in his family. His family was never gonna be together and his enemies made sure of that."You don't have to apologize.." She said but paused midway and looked up at him. Her eyes glinted, although she knew nothing about this woman, she was bent on getting her hands on her. She'd wished she found a way to catch her.Aiden bent down quickly, "I promise to get her out of the way, nothing will happen to you or our daughter." He sincerely stated.Kat shrugged."Do everything you can, Aiden."Aiden smiled and got up. He needed to shower and get ready for what is to come. He pulled off his w

She was speaking to one of the maids in the kitchen, and Nicole was surprised.She walked into the kitchen and touched her and Kat turned instantly."I've been calling you, you seem not to answer."Kat was confused, "Call me?.""I've been screaming your name for like ages," Nicole repeated.It then dawned on Kat that she was called Kathleen, not Lisa."Oh my god!. I'm so sorry. I've not been acquainted with the name yet. You know I lived with this name for five years."Noelle nodded understandably."Aiden asked me to remind you of the doctor's appointment. He just left for his office now,""How could he just leave like that?, he was supposed to take me there," She said, frowning."It was urgent, anyway I could take you there and maybe we could catch up like old times, I will tell you about yourself to help you remember,"Kat smiled at Noelle, she appreciated her, "Thank you, Noelle. I'm very happy that you could help. I still
