She typed a message and sent it with a smile before climbing the staircase to her room, ignoring the servant who greeted her. Outside on the street, an ambulance had arrived at the scene. The paramedics pulled the two ladies out of the car. "What happened here?" asked the officer. "I came to the shop over there to buy some stuff," the man said pointing to the shop across the street. "When I stepped out of the shop I saw a man running away from this truck wearing a black hoodie. I moved a little closer and saw the small vehicle and I came to check only to find these two ladies in the front seat covered in blood," he narrated. "Which direction did the man go?" the officer asked. "He went that way," the man said pointing in the direction he had seen the man run off to. "You didn't hear anything like a gunshot or something?" the officer asked. "I only heard the screeching sound of the truck and nothing more," the man replied. "Thank you," the officer said. "Sir, we found a man i
He had just seen Haga's body. His best friend and working colleague was gone. After a few minutes of driving, Aiden arrived at the chosen location. Mr Jayson was already there waiting for him. "Mr Scott," Mr Jayson offered Aiden a handshake which he accepted. Aiden had a disguise on. He scanned the environment as he entered the restaurant. "Relax, this place is secured. It is my hideout," Mr Jayson said following Aiden. Inside the restaurant's private room. Aiden took off his nose mask. "So what did you want to tell me?" Mr Jayson went straight to the point. "Mr Andrews Scott is out to destroy me and I need your help to stop him," Aiden began "Mr Andrews Scott? Your father?" Mr Jayson asked surprised by Aiden's statement. "He is not my father. He is my uncle," Aiden replied and Mr Jayson raised an eyebrow. "I need your help to unearth his identity to the world. His real name is Jeremy Scott. He is my dad's twin brother. He murdered my dad and took his identity just to inherit
"Your son, Mr Aiden, has some theories against you and that is why I am here," Mr Jayson said and Mr Scott frowned immediately. "What theories?" Mr Scott asked, leaning forward in his seat and resting his elbow on his desk. "Well, he thinks you are after his life and that of his wife," Mr Jayson dropped the bomb."Did he give you any reason why he thinks so?" Mr Scott asked, his frown deepened. "Well, according to him, you deceived him into signing off everything he had worked for to you," Mr Jayson said relaxed in his seat. Mr Scott laughed so hard hearing the reply. " And you believe that?" He asked. "Well, it depends?" Mr Jayson said with an expressionless face. "On what?" Mr Scott asked with a frown."Why did you kick him out?" Mr Jayson asked."He told you I kicked him out?" Mr Scott asked with an eyebrow raised."Well, did you?" Mr Jayson asked."No, I did not. He left the apartment on his own. He is my son but what I can never force him to do is to live under the roof I pr
"The results are ready. Mr Aiden is not the son of Mr Scott," the doctor said. "Are you sure?" Mr Jayson asked. "The test results show, Mr Scott is a relative but not his biological father," the doctor explained. "Okay, I will pass by and pick up the results but kindly send a scanned version to my email," Mr Jayson said trying to prevent any surprise that would change the results shared with him just now. "So Mr Aiden was right," Mr Jayson thought after ending the call. When he visited Mr Scott's office, it was to get a sample to run the test. The only excuse he could come up with coming to his office like that was to tell him about Aiden's visit. Mr Scott was still the prime minister of the state. Informing him of what someone is thinking of him seems like a normal thing to do. He was also aware, Mr Scott would interpret that as a mere formality and would do his investigation on the side. This only means one thing, he needs to act like he is against Aiden to catch Mr Scott unawa
Dr Jerome had become a shadow of himself and had buried himself in work after losing Haga who had still not been buried. He comes home and leaves without anyone seeing him. He had assigned Ana to a new doctor to handle her. At Dr Jerome's apartment, Ana opened her eyes to an empty room. She got down from the bed and checked the bathroom and there was no sign of Aiden. His laptop was on the table open even though the screen was off. His bag was still where he kept it. Ana stepped out of the room to look for Aiden. Descending the staircase into the living room, she runs into one of the servants. "Please have you seen Aiden?" she asked. "He left hours ago with some police officers," the servant replied not sure about telling Ana her husband was arrested in her condition. "Did he say when he will be back?" Ana asked. "I am sorry ma'am, he didn't," replied the servant. "Perchance, have you seen Dr Jerome?" Ana asked. "He returned to the house at 4 a.m. today and left after 10 minute
She fetched her phone and dialled Dr Jerome's number. The phone rang multiple times but there was no answer. She attempted multiple times and the results were still the same. She sat down on the bed in frustration but her phone rang drawing her attention to it. She checked the caller ID and it was unknown. She answered and her eyes widened upon hearing the voice on the other end of the call. "Hello Ana," came a familiar voice. "How is marriage life with Aiden?" the person asked in a mocking tone. "Who is this?" Ana asked with a frown. "Oh, I see. You have forgotten my voice because I left you two alive. I should have shot you dead when I had the chance," the person said. "Ms Thatcher?" Ana said almost in a whisper. "Why are you calling me?" she asked. "Well, I saw the news of Aiden's arrest and his bankruptcy. I felt I should call and sympathize with you. You must be going through a lot," Amanda said laughing. "I don't need your sympathy and Aiden is just helping the police," An
Meanwhile, outside somewhere on the street, Dr Jerome was driving back home to find out why Ana was not answering her calls and so was the person Mr Jayson sent to check up on Ana. They were both a couple of minutes' drive away from the apartment. Two cars drove towards the entrance of Dr Jerome's apartment. Dr Jerome was a bit surprised to see the strange car driving towards his apartment. He drove into his compound and parked in front of the garage. He got out of the car and waited for the strange car to drive in. The car also drove in and found a place to park. The person behind the wheel got down and Dr Jerome stood there waiting. "Hello, I Brian. I was sent here by my boss, Mr Jayson to check on one Ms Ana Morrison," Brian said and Dr Jerome relaxed. "Okay, I am Dr Jerome. This is my apartment," Dr Jerome said and the two gentlemen headed for the front door. "Whose is your boss?" Dr Jerome asked. "The head of the central police station," Brian replied. "Actually, we are more
"Good, at sunrise, I will look into the name," Mr Jayson said, leaving the station to his home. At Sunrise, Scotts Apartment, Mr Scott was on the phone with someone as early as 5 a.m. He was pacing up and down the bedroom carrying an angry expression. "What the fuck!" he growled and Mrs Scott jolted out of her sleep upon hearing her husband's loud voice. She sat on the bed, her eyes following her husband up and down the room wondering what could put him in such a mood this early morning. "What happened?" Mrs Scott asked once her husband was off the phone. "Aiden happened," Mr Scott spat. "What did he do? I thought he was in prison," Mrs Scott said lying back on the bed. "That stupid daughter of yours did it again," Mr Scott growled. "Okay, who are we talking about? Ruth or Aiden?" Mrs Scott asked pushing herself to relax on the bed headboard. "I reduced Aiden to nothing, got him off our backs so we can enjoy all of these. Your stupid blockheaded daughter decided to call him
