Meanwhile, Marcus was on a plane on his way to California. All he had in his mind was to destroy Aiden for what he had done to Amanda. Back at Dr Jerome's, Aiden and Ana had their little moment interrupted by Dr Jerome. He knocked gently on the door drawing the couple's attention to the door. Aiden lowered his head and wiped the tears in his eyes. On the other hand, Ana stood to her feet and welcomed Dr Jerome in. "I don't mean to disturb but I am leaving now for work. My mother also left this morning back to Florida," Dr Jerome said. "If it is okay, I would like to have a minute of your time," Dr Jerome requested. "Oh, we didn't get to say goodbye," Ana said. "That is how mum is. If not for the fact that I had to drop her at the airport, she would have left by the time I would be awake," Dr Jerome said with a little smile. "Would you like us to talk now or later in the day?" Aiden interrupted in his deep voice standing up from the bed. "If you are free now, we can talk. It i
Marcus smiled. He knew the task his father had given him but he was in California for Aiden. He shook the hand of David with a smile but in his mind, he had already started planning for Aiden. "I have a preferred hotel, Golden Light," Marcus said. "Grandfather already made arrangements. An apartment was rented for you. It will be for the period you will be staying here and this is your identity and your job," David said and handed Marcus an ID. "Liam Blez?" Marcus read the name on the card. "Personal make-up artist to the president's daughter?" he added. "Yes, and apparently, you are gay," David added. "What the hell!" Marcus exclaimed. "We don't want a repetition of what happened the last time you were here," David said and Marcus knew the old man did this. He came to California on a similar mission and he got involved with Amanda. He is here again and this time he will be working for the president's daughter. Better chance of getting helpful information. This old man is maki
He went on social media and was shocked to see what happened a few minutes ago was already trending on social media platforms. He had become the mockery for the day. "Mr Scott, please come with me," Dr Jerome said after attending to his patients. Dr Jerome led the way towards the hospital's cafeteria and Aiden followed still in his disguise. At the cafeteria, Dr Jerome ordered a sandwich and a cappuccino. Aiden was in no mood to take anything and the cafeteria didn't have liquor. "What happened?" Dr Jerome asked and Aiden just showed him his phone making Dr Jerome frown. "Your uncle did this?" Dr Jerome asked seeing how the whole event unfolded. "I want to believe so. When I got there, it was a normal environment until the receptionist screamed my name. They started coming from all directions and I was surrounded in a matter of seconds," Aiden said. "Could it be he is watching you?" Dr Jerome said. "I believe so and it is another reason I came here. I don't want to put Ana in
"Oh dear, I forgot this part of the deal," Marcus whispered on his lips rolling his eyes in annoyance at the seven-inch heel Daisy was holding in his hand. "Don't forget, we start tomorrow. David, made me understand, that you must be ready by the end of the week. Meaning we have just four days of rehearsal, dude, considering today is already over," Daisy said and walked away swaying his hips after dropping the heels on the table for Marcus. Marcus stood up, picked up the heel on the table and examined it carefully. He placed it back on the table, picked up his phone and made a call to someone. "Yes, I am back but I have to remain hidden. What does my status look like in the city?" he asked. "Good, keep it that way," Marcus said and ended the call. He left California back to Mexico because of the case surrounding Amanda. He just found out the police are looking for Amanda. It has not been clearly established that he was involved in the execution of the things that happended. He
"Sir, Mr Aiden Scott has secured a new job. He is a manager of a Real Estate Business. He would be starting tomorrow," the person reported. "What! How?" Mr Scott yelled on the phone. He ended the call instructing the person to get him more details of the company. He wanted to know who were the board of directors and the owner. He sat back in his seat and started thinking of what to do next. Maybe discredit the company and make the company lose clients. At Marcus's location, Marcus had just finished talking to Amanda on the phone after talking to his grandfather when David walked in. "Change of plans. The president's daughter wants to meet you today. I understand she has an important programme tomorrow night and wants to see your work before tomorrow," David said. "But I am no make-up artist," Marcus said wondering how he was going to pull that off acting gay. "Make-up is just like painting. She is the canvas and you are the artist. So look at it this way. You have an outline dra
"Tomorrow, Aiden starts a new work. I will visit him. With my new face," Marcus thought looking at his face in his phone camera. Marcus was dropped off at his apartment and the driver drove off. He headed for the main entrance and the first person to receive him was Daisy. "How did it go?" he asked as he walked Marcus in swaying his hips side to side. "It went well," Marcus said. "Did she do the chair thing?" Daisy asked striking a pose. "Wait, what?" Marcus asked surprised recalling how the president's daughter relaxed in the seat seductively. "You didn't fall for it did you?" Daisy asked chewing a gum and Marcus looked away. "O geez, you fell for it. O gosh. This is a mess. We have to present you as bi," Daisy said walking away like the Disney princess in trouble. Marcus just went up to his room and closed the door behind him. He took off the rubber face mask, dumped it on the table, and quickly grabbed his phone. He sat on the bed and made a call to someone ignoring complete
Vera entered the visitors' room and a scream was heard coming from the visitors' room, drawing the attention of other employees. The receptionist was first to run into the room since she was closer before the other rushed in to find Aiden lying on the floor face down in a pool of blood. "Call 911," someone shouted and Vera got on the phone. The receptionist returned to the reception and asked the security man to stop the man who had just left the building. Marcus got to the gate and had to battle the security men. He pulled out his gun, shot three of them down and ran towards his parked car, but before he could get behind the wheel, he was shot in the shoulder. The security man quickly reset the gun and shot the car tire preventing the car from moving. The man walked towards the car and opened the half-closed front door and Marcus pointed his gun a him. "Get back or I will shoot?" Marcus threatened and the security man smirked. "Judging by what you did a few seconds ago, If you
"Marcus, you are just like your father. Always chasing after unnecessary things. You can join him in hell for a family reunion. I hope that baby of yours would not pick your character," the old man said and exited the balcony. The slowly passed and what transpired early hours of the morning at Real Estate Company was already in the news. Mr and Mrs Scott watched it together but Ruth was out with her friends having fun. "A rather unfortunate incident happened today at the Harrison's Real Estate Company. Mr Aiden Scott, the newly employed manager of the firm was shot in at his new workplace. Thankfully, due to the early intervention of Mr Scott's secretary, Mr Aiden Scott is still alive and receiving treatment at the hospital together with two security men who also got shot when they tried to apprehend the person who had committed this crime. The good news is they were successful in catching this person and he is now in police custody. One security man was reported dead from the inci
He recognized her immediately and hugging Ana, he called out to the woman. "Monica?" Aiden called out causing Monica to freeze in her steps. Monica turned slowly to face Aiden. The two guards who were following her just moved to the side. Aiden was surprised to see Monica with guards and wearing expensive clothing complimented with expensive jewellery. Last they spoke on the phone, she had only confirmed she took money to divorce him. Was it because she found someone richer than him? This was the thought on Aiden's mind as he stared at Monica while hugging Ana with a cold expression. "Mr Scott, I understand you hate me right now. All I can say is that maybe we were not meant to be. In front of you right now is a woman with a heart of gold. Please take good care of her and protect her from your enemies," Monica said and Aiden frowned. He was with Monica and knew her very well. He understood the meaning of her statement despite the obvious and he frowned. "Are you saying someone thr
"Ms Ana boarded a taxi. They have picked up the details of the taxi. They will contact the driver and find out where he dropped Ana," Mr Jayson said and Aiden ran his hands through his hair. "Just calm down, we will find her. The good news is those who would want to harm her are all in prison. She is safe," Mr Jayson assured. "No, I have one more enemy walking free. Even if there is enough evidence to put him in prison, he is still walking free," Aiden said. "How dangerous is this person?" Mr Jayson asked and Aiden gave the question a thought. Mr Harper may be cunning and a pervert but aside from stealing money, he will not really consider him as one who will use knives and guns. "Never mind. I think I am just worried," Aiden replied. Mr Jayson's phone rang again and his gaze shifted to the phone. He answered it and brought the phone to his ears. "Great," he said and ended the call. "They found the driver. He dropped your wife off at the park. They are on their way there," Mr Ja
Meanwhile, Ana after resting for a while, packed her stuff and left Aiden a note as she made her way towards the exit. She then gave the apartment one last look and rubbed her belly as she walked out the front door. "I stayed back in your time of need to ensure you're restored to your former glory since it was at my side you lost it all. Now that you are back to the level where we met, you don't have to guilt yourself into being with me. I hope you will understand," Ana whispered to herself as she walked towards the gate. She checked her bag to ensure she had enough cash on her. In her mind, she was planning how she was going to live on her own. No job, no roof over her head. Well, this was her life before she met Aiden except she had the woman she thought was her mother and a little sister. They all lived in a small apartment but now she was all alone. She walked out the gate but stopped when she heard someone calling her. "Ma'am, do you need me to help you with your bag?" aske
"Let's get out of here before the media gets here," Aiden said and got behind the wheel with Ana sitting next to him. They drove out of the compound and Aiden took Ana to his private apartment downtown. He parked the car in the garage and walked through the front door into the apartment. The last time they were there, they had to come through the back door and hide in the underground apartment. "A lot of work needs to be done here," Ana said. "Yes, but we will not live here. I prefer the apartment on the hill. It is close to my estate business," Aiden said. "So what is going to happen to this apartment?" Ana asked leaning on the side of Aiden and Aiden's hand was wrapped around her. "Clean it up and put it on the market. I already have too many apartments. I reduce them to two," Aiden said. "Okay," Ana said and Aiden walked Ana to the sofa. "I need you to get some rest. Some people will be here in the next 10 minutes to put the house in order. I have to take care of something
"Now all I need is a good lawyer to wiggle my way out of this mess and leave this state after I have united Aiden with his parents," Mr Scott thought. Aiden returned to Mr Jayson's office and closed the door behind him. He walked towards his desk and made himself comfortable with a smile plastered on his face. "You got a confession out of him?" Mr Jayson said looking at Aiden. "I told you I would get a confession out of him," Aiden said. "My father was right, he only learns and becomes smarter after multiple fails," he added and pulled his phone out of his breast pocket and played the recording to the hearing of Mr Jayson. "We don't need the results from that DNA. This confession is perfect. Great you thought fast. If not we will have to start a search for Mr Andrew Scott's body," Mr Jayson said. "I am surprised though how he managed to bury the wrong body in the presence of all," Aiden said. "That is easy. The body was carried from one point to another in a vehicle. Within that
"We have the world's attention. We can go out now. We go to court with the rest of the evidence to claim what is rightfully ours," Aiden said holding Ana's hand in his. The two exited the underground apartment and went out of the building. Aiden requested a ride to the courthouse. At the court, Aiden filed the case to begin the lawsuit. Aiden requested protection following the multiple attacks on his life and that of his wife and it was granted. At the president's office, Mr Scott was sitting on the sofa with the president who was not at all happy with what was going on. "Mr Scott, do you mind explaining what is going on between you and Aiden Scott?" he asked. "Mr President. Believe me. It is just a family misunderstanding which had gone out of hand," Mr Scott said. "If I remember correctly, Aiden Scott's name was dragged all over the internet, losing his business, his marriage in shambles and some rumours that say he is not your son. Now you are in the news and you have been ca
Mr and Mrs Scott's eyes widened as they listened to the news. The news started spreading like wildfire and everyone asked where Mr Jeremy Scott was if he was still alive. "No, no, this is not good," Mrs Scott said with eyes widened. Mr Scott fetched his phone, dialled a number and waited for the call to connect. "I thought you said you were controlling the media space," Mr Scott said through gritted teeth. "Yes, but believe me. I don't know how this got out there. I have my eyes everywhere but I didn't see this one," the person replied. "I am working on it but someone is posting the story when I take it down," he added. "Do something about it," Mr Scott said and ended the call but his phone rang. "I am going to the office. I will get this taken care of before it gets out of hand," Mr Scott said and exited the room. "As usual I have to take care of everything," Mrs Scott scoffed as soon as her husband exited the room. She fetched her phone, dialled a number and waited for the c
A medical practitioner who was at the entrance saw Mr Jayson falling to the ground and he ran to him calling for help. "He had been shot," the man shouted as held Mr Jayson in his arms. A stretcher was quickly brought out of the hospital and he was carried into the emergency. Meanwhile, Aiden and Ana were both waiting for Mr Jayson to return. After waiting for a while, Aiden decided to go look for him. As soon as he opened the door, the doctor who had provided them the space was standing behind the door. "Mr Jayson was just shot outside the hospital," the doctor said. "What?" Aiden exclaimed "By who?" he asked. "We are not sure but we are suspecting a snipper," the doctor replied. "Stay here, it is not safe outside," he added and left. "They know we are here," Aiden said to Ana. "We can't stay here. It is only a matter of time before they find us. Let's go I know what to do," he said and they both stepped out of the storage room and headed in a different direction. Aiden saw
"When and how?" Aiden thought as he walked towards the bed and sat on it thinking of what to do. He exited the room and went to the balcony. He held the railing and stared ahead of himself. He leaned on the railing and turned to look at the space behind him. He looked briefly at the light bulb hanging from the roof and he realized it had been changed. The bulb had a camera now. Originally, the bulb had that black ring at the base but it was just for decoration. Now the black ring appears to have a focus. "So this is how the person is watching us," Aiden thought and exited the balcony and saw Ana entering the living room from outside. "You went for a walk?" Aiden asked. "Yes," Ana replied. "Without me?" Aiden asked walking towards her. "I am sorry, I didn't want to disturb you," Ana replied and sat down on the sofa. Aiden stood behind her and massaged her shoulders for a while. Ana immediately felt relaxed. Aiden's phone buzzed with a message and he stopped massaging Ana's sh
