Sydney
When we arrived home, it was late at night. Most of the households were already asleep. I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was relax in a warm bath. Aiden escorted me to our room and muttered something about meeting with someone. I just shrugged.
My belongings had been unpacked and carefully organised in a large walk-in closet. Looking around, I noticed that the room was considerably larger than my apartment.
I was able to quickly identify the restroom that was adjacent to the closet. It was large and well-designed. There was a large oval-shaped sunken bath in the middle of the bathroom, as well as a shower stall and a countertop with all of the essentials.
'Rich folks know how to have a good time,' I thought. I came across some lavender bath oils and sprinkled them over the hot water. I stripped off my clothes and dove into the bath. It was fantasti
Sydney "Oh, they live with you?" I inquired, shocked. I had no idea they lived in the same house until now. Aiden's connection with his stepfamily was known to be strained. I wouldn't blame him for that. I would also avoid a person like William, no matter how closely we were related. I was therefore surprised to learn that they shared a home. "Don't worry, Will isn't going to bother you in any way. The estate has adequate employees and security, and...I've warned him." He made a hissing sound. "OK, I'll try to stay away from them as much as possible," I informed him. He said, "I have to go now, I'll see you later," and hung up. I had a few more topics I wanted to discuss with him, such as when I would be able to start working. Was he expecting me to stay at home and watch TV? What would I do for the rest of the day?
Sydney As I ran through the maze of corridors, I was in tears. In my entire life, I had never felt so embarrassed. Fiona and, most likely, Will were aware that I was only a temporary 'arrangement.' She was rubbing it in my face for that reason. I had chosen this misery, and there was nothing I could do but accept it. I found myself in an unfamiliar environment. I couldn't tell if it was a library or an office. A large portrait of two adults and a teenage kid who was obviously Aiden hung on the wall. He had a fragile and lovely appearance. Who knew the sweet little guy would grow up to be such a devil? "Are you looking for something, Mrs. Reiner?" A young girl, clad in the same blue and white uniform as the rest of the staff, approached me and asked me. "I... I got lost while looking for my room. Could you please point me in the right direction?" I inquired of the young lady.
Sydney "OK, seriously, how are things between Aiden and you?" Leah asked me as soon as we sat down for lunch in a cafe. I chewed my lower lip, unsure of what to say. "So far, he's been pleasant, and I believe I could live with him for a year. His family, though, is a different matter." "Did his stoned brother bother you once more?" Mike enragedly inquired. "No,but I got a crash course on how to be a gold digger from his stepmom." Leah snickered. "Right from the expert's mouth." I couldn't help smiling. "How's your TV role?" I asked and hastily covered my mouth with my hands. I looked at both of them and said, "Sorry, I had to keep it a secret from Leah."
Sydney - Even though the dinner was delicious and Aiden had been on his best behaviour, I couldn't help but feel nervous around him. He was a whirlwind of emotions. He hadn't touched me in several days after our conversation. He had a habit of leaving early and returning late. We did meet together for lunch and supper on occasion, but we didn't converse much. It felt strange and frustrated at the same time. Was he sick of me already?Almost every day, I paid a visit to senior Mr Reiner. I enjoyed his company. Second, there was nothing I could do at home. I was completely unaware of the activities of wealthy women. I was sitting in the study on the chaise, having just ended a talk with Mike. In a few days, he'd be in Los Angeles. I sensed that I was being watched and turned to face the door. There stood Aiden watching me, I froze. I inhaled deeply and made a little motion to stand up, but his frigid eyes locked on mine. "Don't move," he u
Sydney I leant up close and kissed him on the lips. I waited for him to grab my mouth with his, but he stayed absolutely motionless. I gently put my tongue into his mouth till I felt it twist against his. I experimented with kissing him in numerous ways and playing with his tongue. Aiden's erection began to press on me, but he remained still. I shifted on his lap, rubbing against his abrasiveness. In his throat, he let out a deep growl. I kept kissing him and rubbing my hands across his bulge. I grabbed his jacket and yanked it off him. My fingers grabbed for his shirt buttons. I messed around with them till his chest was exposed. I broke the kiss and looked over my work. As I examined his exposed upper torso, I felt his eyes on me. But that didn't stop me from staring at him. I'd never really paid attention to him before. The hardness of his enormous, powerful arms, the muscled columns of his stomach, and the sprinkling of hair on his chest drew my attention. With my fingertips, I tr
Aiden That evening, I roamed around the estate till late. I attempted to sleep, but was plagued by bizarre nightmares. I fidgeted, agitated and tense, yearning in vain for some kind of peace. I wanted to see Sydney again, but I needed to take a break from her for a while. For the sake of my mental health. Sydney had managed to influence a shift in me that I didn't like. I couldn't get the image of her face out of my head, especially the way she had stared at me just before she climaxed. Aiden, thank you.... her voice echoed in my thoughts. I had never seen anything more beautiful or sensuous in my life than when she threw her head back in pleasure. I'd die a happy man if I could keep seeing her come to me over and over. Or maybe I'll get a chance to see her smile for me......once. I shook my head in an attempt to banish that thought, but the way she was smiling while talking to Mike, the way she always did with others. She appeared so relaxed and almost happy. I could never get her
Aiden I had assumed that at the conclusion of my pursuit, I would be content to add her name to my list of conquests, but I was mistaken. She wasn't just another conquest for him. I'm not sure what to name it, but I wanted to keep Sydney for the rest of my life. I ruled out the notion of falling in love since the idea felt so foreign to me. However, I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted Sydney to be with me for a long time with a possessiveness I couldn't describe. My family's men never married for love; it was always for the betterment of the business. Their marriage survived, despite the fact that they had multiple affairs, but it didn't matter in the end. I brushed those thoughts aside and strolled out to one of the sessions. The conference consisted of the normal mix of meetings, presentations, and trade exhibits, and it was a huge success in terms of business. The evening of the conference was a formal event, and I was mingling with the audience when I was summoned by a familia
Sydney I stammered, giving a poor apology, "I didn't mean it that way." Mr Reiner broke out laughing, much to my amazement. I was perplexed as I watched. "Isn't it true that Aiden has you locked into a marriage contract?" He inquired. I took a deep breath and simply nodded. "I'm his grandfather, sweetheart; he may be cunning and astute, but who bestowed such characteristics on him? Of course, it's me!" His blue eyes twinkled with delight. "After years of pestering, he abruptly announced his wedding. Something didn't feel right. Then I met you, and I knew Aiden was completely over heels in love but couldn't see it. Is it true that he followed you around?" Aiden had been very explicit about his goals, so I didn't know what to say. He just didn't want any attachments with me . Of course, I wasn't going to tell his grandfather about it. "He was quite persuasive, and I didn't have a choice," I admitted quietly. "My tired legs are in desperate need of rest. Why don't we take a seat
As his wife pursued their little daughter, Aiden smiled. Squealing, the toddler hid under the table. "Aiden, please handle your daughter!" Sydney cried as she collapsed on the couch. "She's not listening to me." Aiden smiled and knelt down, pleading with the small girl to leave the table. The youngster burst out laughing and hugging her father. Aiden kissed the adorable bundle, and his daughter was still almost instantly. With huge green eyes and a grin, she glanced up at her father. "I don't understand how you do that every time," Sydney mumbled, crossly looking at her happily gurgling daughter. "Angela never listens to me. She is so different from Ethan." "Not like her brother," Aiden said, pointing to Angela's twin, who was playing on the mat and holding his blanket. Ethan had always been a quiet child. Unlike his sister, he was not a troublemaker. Sydney grinned and held her hands out for her daughter. She wanted a cuddle. Aiden handed her over, then hugged both Sydney and Ang
Sydney quickly recovered over the next two weeks. Her gunshot wound had mostly healed, and she was ready to return home. She just couldn't decide which house to go to. She didn't know what would happen between Aiden and her. They hadn't discussed it until now. Aiden had been preoccupied with the situation. It was difficult to keep four bodies hidden from the media, one of them being Marilyn. It was all over the news the next day. Aiden's opponents had learned of the event and were quick to investigate. Reiners manipulated the media as usual, and the truth about his late father was once again hidden. Mrs Reiner's kidnapping was attributed to William and Marilyn as the masterminds. Marilyn was the dumped girlfriend, and William was the enraged second son, who banded together for vengeance. They bribed Eric, Mike, and Rob with promises of money and movie roles to carry out their orders. That's how the story was presented to the public. Fiona, on the other hand, was too distraught to he
- Aiden I couldn't remember how long I'd been sitting in the waiting room; my vision was blurry, and I hadn't eaten in at least 12 hours. "Here," Leah said, handing me a styrofoam cup full of hot coffee. "Thank you," I said graciously. She took a seat next to me and seemed to have a question for me. I moved my gaze hither. "I am sorry for what Mike did, had I known he was involved with....all this. I am sorry." She apologized. "It's not your fault, it's all because of my dad." I looked down at the brown liquid. "I will try my best to get Mike out," I said, assuring her. "That isn't necessary; Mike must pay for his crimes. Just look after Sydney." She stated it with a faint smile. When the operating room door opened, I dashed over to Dr. Matt. "We've done everything we can, but she's fallen into a coma. It's now entirely up to her to get up whenever she wants." Matt stated solemnly. "NO! You assured her that everything would be fine! I want my wife back!" I yelled. "Calm down
Detective Conan made his way through the dense undergrowth to the warehouse. He walked around the building, looking for a weak area through which he could enter unobserved. He discovered the fire escape that led to the second floor. The iron stairs were rusted and old, but they would last a while. He climbed the stairs slowly and silently. When he got to the top floor, he tried to unlock the door but realised it wasn't locked. He crept inside quietly, making sure the door didn't squeak. From below, he could hear muffled voices. To gaze down, he moved closer to the landing. The stairs directly in front of him would lead him down into the kidnappers' full view. He couldn't risk it, so he crouched in the shadows and waited at the viewpoint. Down below, there were eight people: four men and four women. Two of them appeared to be lifeless. He observed the tied women and two men holding the gun at Aiden. Although he couldn't see the woman's face, who was without a gun, he noticed she was
Aiden Fiona's eyes widened, and William appeared perplexed. Eric appeared shocked at first, but then his face erupted into a broad smile, followed by a wild laugh. "What did you call him? Who the fuck is Javier?" William asked. "Damn you Aiden! I wish you weren't so smart. Now you've spoiled my fun," Eric cribbed, still laughing. "Fun? You call this fun ?" I pointed to the lifeless bodies of Rob and Marilyn. "Aiden, there are main characters, antagonists, and extras in a play. Usually, the extras perish. They were only there as extras." As if this was a drama for him, he explained. "So this is play for you? You are a psychopath, Javier!" I said through clenched teeth. "Woah! Hold on! Why do you keep referring to him as Javier?" William inquired again, his face annoyed. Fiona looked at Eric as if he had grown horns. She was visibly trembling. "No! It's not possible, "she exclaimed, covering her mouth. "Surprised? Are you? I suppose you recall your husband's actions." Eric smil
- Aiden Mike was bundled off by the police. The detective lingered and fixed his gaze on me. "I'm Detective Conan, and the chief contacted me about your missing wife. How many hours has she been missing?" He inquired idly. "I assume she has been kidnapped for around six hours. There hasn't been a demand for ransom yet, but I expect one soon "I said. "So, Mr Reiner, how may I assist you?" The detective was curious. I said, lifting an eyebrow at him, "Of course, help me find my wife." "I heard the suspect, your wife has only been missing for.... like six hours. And she left home willingly. It's still too early to…" I cut him off before he could finish. "I get it, but this is different; I'm sure she's in great danger." My rage was growing once more. "We are doing all we can, Mr Reiner, but there are certain procedures and protocols which have to be followed," the detective explained. "I believe I made it clear to the Commissioner that I needed someone I could trust, someone who
Eric couldn't believe their good luck in capturing Sydney so quickly. Aiden would have no choice but to succumb to his whims and fancies, with her as a hostage. He no longer needed his complex plot to eliminate the Reiners. "So, what are your plans for her? Can I try her out first?" William inquired, his face beaming. Eric gave a withering look at William. 'What an Idiot! Soon he and his entire family would be rotting in hell! And all he cares for is getting laid.' Eric thought with great satisfaction. He gave William a cunning smile. "First, let us wake up our little whore." "Eric, this...this whole thing is getting out of hand! You... you never said there would be innocent lives involved!" Marilyn stammered, wringing her hands nervously. If only she knew that Eric was a psychopath who would be killing off so many people, she would never have agreed to join his mad plan. All she wanted was Aidan. "Marilyn, you agreed to join us, don't you want Aiden? You're not backing out now,
Aiden Sydney had been missing for hours. I went to her old apartment, checked at Mike's place and both flats were unoccupied. Though her car was parked near the building. Did she run away with him? NO! My heart refused to believe that. My phone ran again and this time it was Michael – "We caught him, Mr Reiner," he said, "the suspect on that tape we caught." "Mike?" I inquired. "You won't believe what he was trying to do. He was attempting to blow up our weapons storage facility! We discovered him trying to enter with forged credentials. He is adamant on speaking with you. What are your recommendations? Should we contact the authorities?" "No! I'll be there in an hour, so don't call the police ".I thanked my lucky stars over the phone for the breakthrough. After that, I contacted Clifton. "I'd like you to do something for me, Clifton." "Yes?" He answered. "Check on Eric Randall, the owner of the Emerald theatre, to find out his whereabouts. Follow him when you find him. Also,
Sydney Neither Leah nor Mike answered the phone when I called. It wasn't surprising; it was still early, and they'd most likely be sleeping. I was slightly out of breath by the time I got to Leah's floor. Fortunately, I still retained my old flat's extra key. I opened the door and went inside. Switching on the light, I checked Leah's bedroom. It was empty, the whole flat was empty. It wasn't that big, to miss any corner. Perhaps Leah stayed the night with her new boyfriend. She was smitten with one of her classmates. I decided to look around Mike's place. I approached his door and was ready to knock when it opened and Mike strolled out. He was dressed strangely in a jumpsuit that appeared to be some kind of uniform. It dawned on me that he was also wearing a lot of makeup. He looked just like the dude in the video! "Mike!" I exclaimed, my gaze fixed on him. Mike took a quick look around before dragging me inside and closing the door. I was too startled to feel anything, so I said,
