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
Back at the station, the officer smiled, " I found Mrs Jayla Ross Scott," "Perfect. Give me all the details on her," Mr Jayson said and the officer printed out the information he had found and handed it over to Mr Jayson. He went through the details which had only some basic information. Her date of birth and death. Her husband but no record of having a child. From the information Mr Jayson was holding in his hand, Jayla's husband was recorded as Jeremy Scott. Mr Jayson frowned going through the details. Jeremy Scott owned nothing at the time of his death. "Hmmm," Mr Jayson thought and exited the room and made a call to someone. "Yes, you know why I called. Exactly," Mr Jayson said and ended the call. He walked up to Aiden's cell and unlocked the cell. Aiden looked at him surprised wondering what was happening. Mr Jayson had told him he would stay in the cell till everything was over. So does it mean everything is over? Aiden stared at Mr Jayson for answers. "Mr Aiden, you can
Mrs Scott read the message and gasped in horror. How can her daughter be arrested was the question on her mind. It only meant her husband had done nothing about the information he received. She scrolled through her contacts and dialled her husband's number. "Our daughter has just been arrested. Do something," Mrs Scott said on the phone. "Look, I have bigger problems to resolve. Like we losing everything right now. Ruth getting arrested is the least of the problems," Mr Scott snapped. "So our daughter should go to jail?" Mrs Scott questioned angrily. "I am busy. Take care of that," Mr Scott said and ended the call. "Did he just cut the call on me?" Mrs Scott said to herself staring at the phone screen. She redialed her husband's number and waited patiently for him to answer. "If our daughter spends a night in jail, I promise you I will tell the whole world you killed Mr Thatcher," she threatened and ended the call without giving her husband a chance to react to her statement.
These were the three words, he was hoping to hear in this company but now he is hearing those words and did not know what to make of it. Was he going to be terminated? This was the thought running through Aiden's mind as he sat down slowly. The sentence 'please have a seat' when made to you after being invited into the CEO's office, only means good news. If it is a termination, HR takes care of it. In Aiden's case, he had just started with the company and he was yet to make great achievements even though, he has implemented some changes which is fostering productivity in the firm. "Mr Scott, I invited you to personally apologize to you on behalf of the company. What happened on our premises which could have cost you your life could have been prevented if the proper check at the entrance was done. The security man had confessed, he allowed the vehicle in because it was an expensive classy one," said the CEO and Aiden felt relief upon hearing these words. He didn't understand why he f
Ana shook her head, unable to tell Aiden for fear of him getting killed. Aiden unable to get anything out of Ana just hugged her for a while. He led her to the bed and made her lie down on the bed. He covered her with the blanket and sat down next to her on the bed resting his back on the bed headboard. He placed a pillow on his lap and made Ana rest her head on the pillow on his lap as he rubbed her back gently. Ana soon fell asleep. Aiden gently pulled himself out of bed without waking Ana and stepped out of the room. He went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen to find one of the servants. "Tell me what happened here while I was away?" Aiden asked and the servants stared at him unable to say anything. Ana had begged them not to voice out what happened to anyone. The servant was not sure how to tell Aiden what happened earlier for fear of what would happen to Ana, Aiden and Dr Jerome. "Were you here?" Aiden asked and the servant nodded. "So what happened?" he asked almos
"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
