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
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
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
"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
"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
"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
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
