Aiden's furious voice sliced through the air as he called out, "Grey!""What's the matter? Your ex-wife has finally found her courage, and I'm curious to witness her transformation. She should have done it ages ago. Though I never liked her, she truly suffered at your hands," Grey retorted, his tone laced with disdain."Suffered? Did she consider that when she took her own sister's life? Did she think about it when she abducted her?" Aiden fought to contain his anger. "You are the chief officer here, do you want to be demoted?""You may have a point, but deep down, she's always denied pushing her sister and kidnapping her. What if there's some truth to what she said? And what if the child you killed was actually your own son? You should investigate further; there might be something hidden beneath the surface," Grey said, his words laden with seriousness. He had always sensed that there was more to this story, but Aiden, blinded by love, failed to notice....Saturday's sunlight bathed
In a heart-wrenching twist, Mrs. Campbell swooped in just in the nick of time, preventing her husband from embarking on a grievous folly. With an air of affectionate, she said, "Emm, Emine dear, being with your family is a great way of protecting yourself. You know you have no one and Aiden isn't around to protect you too. We will help you manage the money in order not to misuse it." She said lovingly.But Emine, displaying a wisdom well beyond her years, reminded her father of a painful truth. She spoke with a composed demeanor, crossing her legs as she asserted her independence, "Ha! Have you forgotten that you and grandfather publicly disowned me seven years ago? They made it clear that I am no longer a part of this family. Have you conveniently forgotten about that, Father?" Her words were laden with a tinge of sadness, yet she remained resolute. "And for your information, I am twenty-six years old—I am not a child. I am more than capable of managing my own finances. And here's an
Emine, wake up! Please, wake up!" The elderly woman persisted in shaking Emine, desperately hoping for a response. However, there was no sign of life from her still form."Summon the family doctor immediately! Bring her to my chamber," she commanded, her voice filled with urgency. The maid swiftly guided her grandmother to Emine's room, where they carefully laid her down.Once inside the room, the old lady's gaze pierced Sharon with anger as she spoke with biting reproach, "You heartless girl, how many times do you intend to harm your own sister?" In her frustration, she swung her walking stick and struck Sharon."Grandma, I beg your forgiveness! I never meant to push her so forcefully," Sharon pleaded, dropping to her knees on the floor despite enduring the sting of the blow. She knew the severe consequences that awaited her if the old lady remained unforgiving. Her overprotectiveness of Emine had clouded her judgment.Ever since Emine was forcefully replaced as the bride of the Clark
The old lady left Emine's and retired to her bedroom downstairs for the night.As Emine slowly open her eyes after the old lady's departure, she made her way towards Sharon, who was locked up. Slowly approaching her, Emine knelt down beside her and asked, "My dear Sharon, how are you holding up?"Sharon was taken aback by Emine's presence, as she had been the one who had fainted earlier. "You... How did you get here? I saw you faint, how is this possible?" she exclaimed in surprise."Oh, you're surprised, aren't you? Well, I wanted you to experience a taste of your own medicine. How does it feel? Is it sweet?" Emine taunted with a mocking tone."You deceitful person! You lied to me, to our entire family!" Sharon screamed in anger."Hush, hush! Do you want them to hear you and think you're insane? Go on, continue. Let's see if they'll believe you," Emine whispered, enjoying Sharon's distress."Are you sure? Let's find out. Mother and father still love me. They will believe me when I tel
Oh dear, your cunning has driven you mad. You're in desperate need of a visit to the psychiatrist," she declared, summoning the maid to assist her. "Inform my son to contact the psychiatrist immediately; her daughter's mental instability has become alarming."Night after night, Sharon found herself plagued by relentless nightmares. Each time, Emine would appear, attacking her in various disturbing ways, leaving her screaming in terror every morning.On an early Friday evening, Emine ventured to the old house. While her grandmother assumed she had come to pay a visit, the truth was far more sinister—Emine was here to finish what she had started.After engaging in casual conversation with her grandmother, Emine stealthily made her way to Sharon's room, discreetly adding a potent dose of drugs to her food. She then descended the stairs and sat beside her grandmother." I will end you. I will annihilate everyone in this house." Suddenly, the sound of Sharon's hurried footsteps echoed throu
Sir, I have discovered the footage. Please, allow me to present it to you," Aiden's heart raced with anticipation as he watched the footage. It revealed Emine, her eyes welling up with tears, vehemently shaking her head. He witnessed the intense argument she had with her family before fleeing from the house, desperately reaching out to her male friend for support. The friend arrived promptly, embracing her, and together they retreated to her dressing room. Aiden's realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. He had been a fool to believe Nora's lies. But what still puzzled him was why Nora had accused her own sister of orchestrating her kidnapping."Have I been a fool all this time?" Aiden raised his head and posed the question to Finn. If the evidence before him was undeniably true, then something must have gone terribly wrong. What if the child he had decided to abort was actually his? "No, no, that child couldn't have been mine," he desperately denied, trying to avoid the weight
"Did you kidnap your sister?" Aiden's sudden question jolted Emine, leaving her completely taken aback. Why would he ask such a thing out of the blue? Confusion clouded her mind, leaving her utterly bewildered."I want to know everything. Tell me all that I need to know," Aiden eagerly pressed for answers."Why are you asking now? After five long years, why is this suddenly on your mind?" Emine's fists clenched beneath the table, although her eyes remained devoid of any emotion."Can you just answer the question?" Aiden's patience was rapidly waning.Emine couldn't help but relish the sight of impatience etched on his face. She couldn't explain why, but seeing Aiden in distress gave her a strange sense of satisfaction."Is that why you called me here, Mr. Aiden?""Emine!" he called out, his tone filled with anger."What? Do you still see me as the same person who cowered under threats? Tsk, tsk, wake up from your delusions, it's a brand new day. You never once asked me this question fi
Emine pleaded desperately, tears streaming down her face, as she tried to convince him. "I swear, I didn't push her! She framed me out of jealousy and hatred because I excelled above everyone else.""Jealous? You're just the daughter of a maid. Why would she envy you?" he sneered, dismissing her words."I... I don't know," Emine replied, shaking her head in confusion and desperation. But as she spoke, her heart sank when she saw her beloved brother being brought in."Sister," he whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of concern and love.Emine's voice quivered with fear and anguish as she pleaded, "Please, I beg you, let my brother go. Spare his life, please!" Her plea was laced with genuine despair, a truly pitiful sight.Aiden's eyes bore into her, cold and calculating. "So, his fate lies in your hands. Speak the truth, and I will spare him. Lie to me, and I will end his life," he threatened, raising the gun menacingly."Sister, don't confess to something you didn't do," her bro
"Okay, I will stay," Aiden agreed to stay.Emine settled everything and called MC when she got out of the hospital. "I was ambushed today, I found the mastermind.""Queen, are you alright?" MC asked with a worried tone."Don't worry, I am fine. But we will have to find out who did it. Wait, you should go to the place where the incident happened; the men have been wounded, so they wouldn't be able to go far. Bring anyone who is alive. I need to interrogate the person.""Okay, Queen, but you will have to go to the hospital to check if you are really okay.""I said I am okay," Emine said and hung up. She set off for the meeting."Your boss was wounded because of me. Please do well to take care of the rest. He might come home in two days," Emine said to Finn."My boss has been admitted?" Finn was surprised. His boss would never accept being in the hospital unless he is in a critical condition. He just told him he wouldn't be able to make it to the meeting. Maybe it might be serious."Whic
Intrigue flared in Emine's eyes as she coolly responded while holding her waist, "And how exactly does that concern me?"Rage surged within the leader, his anger unabated, his words venomous, "You're asking for death, you slut." They had believed she was on their side, but her true intentions had caught them off guard. Now, with their brother incapacitated, the future of their legacy hung in jeopardy.Emine's gaze remained steady, her voice dripping with defiance, "If you're after my life, let's see if you can even get close."The assassins' fury intensified, their leader stalking closer, menace oozing from his presence, "I'll make you suffer beyond imagination..." His hand raised to strike Emine, yet an abrupt scream of pain pierced the air, freezing their actions. "Release me, you bitch!" he howled, even through his agony, finding strength to curse her.Amid his cries, Emine's composed demeanor remained unshaken. "Your pain hasn't dulled your tongue, I see," she remarked, twisting h
Grey chimed in with a thoughtful suggestion. 'Why not take things slow? Instead of jumping ahead, consider paying her a visit,' he advised.Aiden mulled over the idea. 'Visit her at her company?' he asked.Grey shook his head gently. 'No, not at her workplace, but at her home. Given all the times you've come to her rescue, she probably won't hold any grudges.'Aiden's intrigue grew. 'That's not a bad idea,' he admitted.The scene was set on a bustling Monday morning, as Emine geared up for another workday. With Ryan away on business and Sandra the sole presence at home, Emine was caught up in her routine. Sandra, who had been at Emine's place the previous Saturday, piped up, 'Emine, I want to tag along with you.'Emine's response was firm but friendly. 'No, you're staying here to whip up some delicious dishes.'Sandra's pout was hard to miss. 'I'm not your maid,' she retorted.Emine reassured her. 'I know you're not, but how about you be a dear and hold down the fort? I won't be headin
Finn's gaze pierced his boss, as if he were studying a complete stranger. Enn, his boss, had undergone an astonishing transformation."Grey, I need you to swing by the house today," Finn overheard his boss's unexpected request."Hey, what's the deal? Something up?" Grey's surprise was palpable. Aiden seldom reached out spontaneously, especially during work hours.Finn's ears strained to catch the words. His boss was forsaking the office for an offbeat rendezvous at home with a friend."Uh... is," Finn's words stumbled out."Got any troubles?" Aiden inquired, a hint of a smile gracing his lips."Nah, boss, no issues. But we've got that sit-down scheduled with Mr. Steve. You realize how crucial that meeting is, right?""Changed my mind. I just scrapped it. I'm diving into the art of winning my wife's heart. Gotta make sacrifices to woo her, you know? You handle the mess, alright? And here's a bonus for your trouble." Aiden slapped Finn's shoulder genially before exiting.Finn pinched hi
Mrs. Harrison's anguish overflowed, her tears an uncontrollable torrent, yet she stifled the sobs that threatened to escape her lips. The sight before her was unfathomable – a video depicting her own son in captivity, his fate hanging precariously in the balance. The torment etched across his face left her heartrending questions unanswered. "Is this truly my flesh and blood? What unfathomable ordeal has befallen him?" She stood there, bewildered, the video's grip on her soul relentless.Meanwhile, as the haunting footage left the couple shattered, the hospital doors swung open to reveal the medical team emerging from the emergency room. With a heart as heavy as the questions in his mind, Mr. Harriot Harrison rushed forth, desperation etched into every line of his face. "Doctor, please tell me – how is my father?" His voice trembled with a mix of dread and hope.The doctor's gaze carried the weight of sorrow as he met Mr. Harrison's eyes. "I regret to inform you, Mr. Harrison, that desp
Say another word, and I'll throw you out," Emine threatened, leaving MC to silence himself, fully aware of Emine's power.Perhaps MC was onto something; Aiden had been rescuing her lately. But what were his true intentions? Paying him a visit might uncover his motives. She would pay him a visit one day. She can't afford to owe him.They brought Eastwood to the basement, where he was tied to a bed. Five strong men entered, and fear shook him."No, no, Emine, please," he begged, hoping for a miracle, praying for someone to rescue him."Mr. Eastwood, like I said, no torture or hitting. Just giving you what you want," Emine said, holding his chin with a wicked smile."No, no, I don't want anything. Let me go, and I'll stop my family's pursuit. Your grandmother won't be a target again. Please, spare me," Eastwood pleaded sincerely, understanding Emine's ruthlessness. He wished this nightmare would end."Ow," Emine sighed as if pitying him. "Too late now. If you dared to kidnap me, you must
Amidst a whirlwind of playful banter, Aiden cunningly remarked, "Well, alright, my lady," his voice dripping with mischief like honey.But Emine's eyes rolled, clearly not in the mood for games. Bigger fish were to fry - Eastwood was right there, writhing in pain and waiting for her next move.Emine, a blend of defiance and cool determination, shifted her gaze to Eastwood, and with a sly grin, teased, "'Fancy a taste of what I've got, huh Mr Eastwood?"'Eastwood was left bewildered, sensing that things were about to take a dark turn.Then, suddenly, Emine's attention darted to Aiden, catching everyone by surprise with her question, " Are all of your men into men, I mean are any of them gay?" The room fell into stunned silence, her words having hit them like a bolt from the blue.Aiden turned to his men, who all shook their heads, confirming their unwavering loyalty to the ladies. Emine's next words sent shivers down their spines. 'Since your men aren't exploring that realm, leave Eas
Eastwood finally couldn't hide any longer and showed his face. He called his men who tied Emine to the chair."Well, it wouldn't be bad if I can get through your beautiful thighs. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Tonight I am going to have a great feast," he said with a lustful voice as he caressed her soft cheeks."I might be weak, but I will never forgive you if you ever let me go," Emine said in a weak voice."Well, I wouldn't give you the chance either. I might as well not kill you and make you become my sex toy, well that will be a better idea." Aiden rubbed her mouth with his hands. She is very beautiful, even more beautiful than his sister. He had always wished he could have her someday, it seems the heavens were on his side today."You son of a bitch, your company will surely go bankrupt. Even if I die, I will make sure you die along with me. And do you think I will come here alone? I am not a fool," Emine spat on him."Slap, slap, you filthy garbage, how dare
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" With no fear in her voice, she inquired. "It's quite simple, Miss Emine, talk to Mr. Aiden, and your grandmother will be alive." The voice said without showing his face. "Oh, I see, so is Harrison's. What has my grandmother got to do with this? She is not to be blamed for your incompetence." Emine was boiling in anger. "I see, so you actually have the gut to talk back while grandmother's life is still at stake. I think you don't really care about her." The shadow said. "You dare?" Emine roared. "Why don't I dare? A wounded lion will do anything in his power to survive. Harrison's company has been in power for almost a hundred years, why must it vanish in just a month. Isn't it unfair?" You could hear the helpless tone of the one in the darkness. "Well, that wasn't my fault. The Harrison's have forgotten that no matter how strong or how old you are, there is someone stronger than you. You wanted to rely on your power and suppress the we
