"You are an evil genius," Mrs Scott said and kissed her husband. "An evil genius with a costume," Mr Scott said with a smile and made love to his wife. The next day, Aiden got up early and after taking a shower dressed up for work. He was putting on his tie when Ana woke up. She got down from the bed and came to help Aiden with the tie. Aiden's eyes shifted to her finger and her ring was missing. "What happened to your ring?" Aiden asked. "Ms Thatcher took it," Ana replied. "I will get you a new one on my way home," Aiden said and planted a kiss on her lips. "I wish I could take you back to my place on the hills but considering what happened there and with Amanda on the loose, I feel it is best you stay here. I don't plan on staying here for long. We will move out soon," Aiden said and Ana nodded. "I will get you a new phone on my way back and we will go see Dr Jerome when I return. I will be back home early," Aiden said and Ana nodded. Ana fetched Aiden's jacket and helped him
"Good, we continue tomorrow," Mr Scott said and climbed into bed. In the morning, Aiden took Ana to see Dr Jerome since he could not do so the previous day. On the way to the hospital, he noticed Ana was still not back to her old self. "Hey, are you alright?" Aiden asked and Ana turned to look at him. "Will this baby be alright?" Ana asked. "Yes. We will do everything medically possible. We will have this baby," Aiden assured her. "Aiden. Do you love me, or did you marry me to take responsibility?" Ana asked. "Ana, I married you because I love you and not for any other reason," Aiden replied. "Look, I don't know when and how it happened but that day when I saw you slipping away, I knew I didn't want you to go. I wanted you to be a part of me," he added. "Why did you marry Ms Thatcher?" Ana asked and Aiden frowned at her question. "Did something happen at home?" Aiden asked. "No, I just want to know. I am the third woman you have married," Ana pointed out. "Did anyone say anyt
While all of this was happening in California, in Mexico City, Amanda had started a new life with Marcus as her husband but little did Marcus know, that karma would be visiting soon. "Now you got what you want. I need you to focus and do what I want you to do," the old man said and Marcus acknowledged. "Thank you, Grandfather. I would not disappoint you," Marcus said and left for his apartment. When he arrived, Amanda was waiting for him. She welcomed him with a hug and a kiss. "Now that is a woman who knows how to welcome her husband," Marcus said after parting away from the kiss. "You never mentioned you had this side of you," Amanda said looking at the luxury surrounding her. "Well, I tried to tell you but I couldn't. I came to California to do a simple job. Your father employed me as a driver for you because of my background as one from a security agency. "What do you do?" Amanda asked curiously. "My Grandfather is the mafia lord of this city," Marcus said. "Grandfathe
"It is time to make him sign A&M Construction to me. Aiden, by the end of this week, you will have nothing to your name," Mr Scott said with a sinister smile. The day slowly went by and it was soon nightfall. Aiden returned home very exhausted. After greeting Mrs Scott, he went upstairs to his room. Ana was sitting on the bed when Aiden entered. Without saying anything to her, he dropped his bag on the table and removed his jacket which he hung at the back of the chair. He took off his shoes and left them in the middle of the room heading for the bathroom. Ana got up from the bed, picked up the shoe and placed it on the shoe rack. She picked up the jacket hung it on the hanger and placed Aiden's bag inside the bag holder. She sat on the bed and Aiden returned to the room in the bathrobe. He went to the wardrobe and picked up his sleepwear. He put on the trousers and left the shirt. "How was work today?" Ana finally spoke. "Fine," Aiden said and walked towards the table, picked up th
Aiden pulled her into his arms lying on the bed behind her, unaware Ana was now in tears. They lay on bed in silence for a while and Ana decided to break the silence between them. "Aiden, something is going on in this house which doesn't look right. I don't know how to put it because they all seem like mere coincidence and mere conversation," Ana said. "But what I saw in your father's office today, confirms my suspicion. Please be careful," she added. "Ana, I know I have abandoned you and that is why you feel this way. By the end of this week, I would be done with most of my major work. I will take two days off and spend time with you," Aiden said still feeling his neglect is what is making Ana behave the way she is now. The morning soon came and Aiden left with Mr Scott to his office to have the rest of the money for the railway project processed and paid so they could finish up the work by the end of the month. Ruth left for the hotel and Mrs Scott remained at home with Ana. Ana c
"Hello Ana, now is not a good ..." Aiden began but Ana's words shocked him. "What?" Aiden exclaimed and the phone fell from his hand to the ground dismantling upon impact. "Sir is everything okay?" the HR woman asked.Just then a familiar figure walked in with smiles plastered on his face. "Hello Aiden," Mr Harper greeted. "You kicked me out and humiliated me. Now see who's been kicked out," he said. "Hey everyone listen to me carefully, Aiden here is now a nobody. He is as broke as a church mouse," he said laughing. Aiden turned and exited the company. Lewis was still outside waiting for him. "Sir, where do you want me to take you?" Lewis asked but just then his phone rang. "Hello," Lewis said and was silent for a while. The call ended and Lewis threw his phone away. Aiden frowned. "It was your father. He said starting today I work for him and asked me to bring the car to his office," Lewis said. "What would you want to do sir?" he asked. "Take me to him," Aiden said Lewis go
"That is because he is not your father but your uncle. He lied to you all your life. What he has now was left for you by your father. You must find the original documents and you can get everything back," said the voice.Aiden turned to see who had just spoken. "Err, Mr Scott, meet my mum, Mrs White-Snow. She used to be a doctor for the Scott family. I don't know for how long," Dr Jerome introduced. Aiden sat up on the bed and stared at the elderly woman who had just entered the room. Dr Jerome quickly pulled a chair for his mother. She sat down and rested both hands on her walking aid. Ana sat down next to Aiden facing the woman. Dr Jerome stood next to his mother. "She came to visit and had been around since last week," Dr Jerome said knowing Aiden would be wondering why he had never met this woman. "I would be leaving this city tomorrow. This is the longest stay in my son's apartment," said Mrs White-Snow. "I will tell you a story. Listen carefully. Your salvation is in the st
Meanwhile, at a different location, Mr Scott, Ruth and his wife celebrate their victory of taking everything away from Aiden. "I told you we will kick him out," Mr Scott said as he sipped his drink. "Well, we all helped," Mrs Scott said," Ruth engaged him at the hotel and you created the multiple work to get him busy. No time to think through anything," she added. "Ruth I hope you learn a thing or two to manage the hotel now that we have finally kicked him out," Mr Scott said. "Yes, I did," Ruth replied and sat down on the sofa. "The trick of success was touching on his dream. It has always been his dream to have a Real Estate business. Now offering my help to make his dream a reality was something who could not reject," Mr Scott said and they both laughed. "We could have done this a long time ago and got rid of him," Mrs Scott said. "Well, there is time for everything," Mr Scott said. "So now, we have three businesses to handle. I know nothing about the business world. Ruth is
