"My crippled brother's life was at stake here," Monica replied and Eric tapped Monica on the shoulder.

"Get ready for the final shoot," came the director's voice and Monica lowered her head to prevent the director from seeing her tears.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Erica asked and Monica nodded in a yes.

Erica exited the room and the makeup artist entered and did Monica's makeup for her. Monica stepped out for the final shoot.

"Now for this shoot. I want you to exhibit loneliness," the director said and Monica nodded.

She stood on the prepared stage that looked like a forest and cameras started clicking away. Monica need not put in a lot of effort for the pictures to look the way the director wanted. She was already hurting inside after seeing Aiden's marriage announcement. Acting lonely was very easy because she already felt lonely.

Back in California, Aiden's private apartment. Aiden stepped out of his office and called Lewis. Dr Jerome saw Aiden leave but said nothing. He ca

    "You are right. We can't have Aiden marrying that girl, Monica. He must marry Ms Thatcher if not, I will not get the prime minister position," Mr Scott said, fetched his phone and dialled a number. "Hello, I need you to do something for me," Mr Scott said once the call was connected. "An investigation would be carried out on Monica Hapkins. Maybe starting now. I will send you a piece of detailed information. Ensure whoever runs that investigation gets that information I will send you on Ms Hapkins," Mr Scott said. "Yes, sir," the person said and the call ended. Mr Scott opened his email on his phone and after a few minutes smiled. "It is done," Mr Scott said. "Perfect, now we have to get the two to meet. Ruth, last you told me you are friends with a woman who also happens to be Ms Thatcher's friend," Mrs Scott asked. "Yes, Amber," Ruth replied cutting her piece of chicken. "Good, let her convince Ms Thatcher to go after Aiden," Mrs Scott said and Ruth nodded chewing on her chick

    "Now I know who you are and my family was right about you," Aiden said, ending the call. Aiden stood up from behind his desk and walked towards the window. He stood there recalling the conversation he had had with Monica. When Aiden met Monica, she never mentioned anything about a 14-year-old crippled boy. He also didn't know about her life as a stripper and a porn star. "She heed too much from me. Why?" Aiden thought and recalled his mother's words'She is a gold digger'Aiden frowned and punched the window out of anger with his right hand. The glass of the window shattered into pieces and wounded Aiden but he was too angry to feel any pain. Aiden sat on the sofa and shifted his gaze to the bottle of whisky he had placed on the centre table. He opened it and filled his glass. He gulped down half a litre using a 250 ml glass before sipping the rest. He kept repeatedly playing the report's details and his conversation with Monica in his mind.Back at the family house, Mr Scott was on

    Outside, Amanda called her father," Dad, I am just leaving Aiden's apartment and he was very rude to me," she complained almost about to cry. "How dare him?" the senator yelled on the other end of the car. "Dad, I want you to teach him a lesson. Nobody humiliates me like that and walks free," Amanda said and disconnected the call. "Let's go," she said to the driver and the driver moved the car out of the compound. Aiden also stepped out of the apartment, sat in the car and left for his private property a few minutes after Amanda left. Upon arrival, he went straight to the living room, to the bar and grabbed himself a bottle of whisky. He took it to his office, sat down on the sofa and started to drink. "Mr Scott is back. Just give yourself an hour and go to him," Haga said to Ana after seeing Aiden heading to his office holding a bottle of whisky. "Why an hour?" Ana asked innocently. "He just got back and I am sure he is working on some company stuff. So just give him an hour

    "How dare you disrespect Mr Thatcher's daughter?" came Mr Scott's voice. "Good evening to you too," Aiden said looking at the bundle of cash with a frown even though he sounded calm. "What is good about the evening? It is like you don't care about this family. You are just up to destroy us. I am standing for prime minister soon and you are already making me lose the position before election time. How ungrateful can you be?" Mr Scott yelled over the phone. "Dad, I may not be the best of sons but I believe I have done my part to support the family. If I marry Ms Thatcher, I will live with her for the rest of my life, not you. Don't you think I have earned myself the right to decide that? Have I ever said no to any request of yours?" Aiden said on the call but for some reason, he was careful not to wake sleeping Ana. "Is that what you will say to me? After all we have done for you?" Mr Scott asked. "I am your son. You only execute your responsibility as a father and I am also doing

    At Mr Thatcher's office, Mr Thatcher was on the phone with someone while Amanda sat on the sofa sipping tea. "Yes, make sure the business runs into problems," Mr Thatcher said before ending the call. "It is done, my love. I would not allow anyone to bully or disrespect you," he said. "Thank you, Dad," Amanda acknowledged with a smile and exited the office. Back at Aiden's private apartment. Haga entered Ana's room and raised an eyebrow. "Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?" Haga asked. "I thought you were Mr Scott," Ana said and moved her gaze back to searching for her earring. "Mr Scott was here?" Haga asked. "Yes, and he gave me the money for my mum. I plan on visiting my mum tomorrow to give her the money," Ana said and finally found her earrings. "Okay. I will speak with Dr Jerome and we can meet your mum at his apartment," Haga said and went to the fridge and brought Ana's medications. "Thank you, Ms Haga, but don't worry about it. I already asked Mr Scott and he

    "Mr Scott, please you need to come to the hotel immediately. The police have surrounded the whole place," Daniel said as soon as Aiden answered the call. "Police? What do they want?" Aiden asked. "Drug trafficking," Daniel said and Aiden stood to his feet with a frown. "What!" Aiden exclaimed. "Tell me exactly what happened," he requested. "I am not sure but it appears someone was using the hotel as a place for transporting drugs," Daniel said. "Okay, I am coming over," Aiden said and ended the call. He stepped out of the office into the living room and headed for the front door putting on his jacket. He called Lewis to bring his car around. When he exited the apartment, Lewis was already parked at the entrance. Aiden sat in the back seat and instructed Lewis to move to the hotel. Aiden made a call to some people on the journey. They arrived at the hotel and as informed by Daniel, there were police cars everywhere. Aiden stepped out of the car and was immediately surrounded by r

    "Now that you mentioned her. I wanted to run something by you," Mrs Morrison began. "I advise Alice to take your place and use the scholarship to further her education," she said and Ana just stared at her mother. "Well, it is okay. That scholarship can't go to waste. There is no way I can use it anytime soon in my condition," Ana said after sighing. "It was my dream ticket to change this family's life but Mother Nature has a different plan for me," she added. "Ana, I know this scholarship was your opportunity to secure your dream job. This is my fault. I will do everything within my power to fix this," Mrs Morrison said and her words made Ana tear up. "Mum, don't worry about it. You didn't bring this illness upon yourself. Please don't blame yourself. With the scholarship, Alice can go to school. I will look for a job to take care of your medical bills. Please don't stress yourself. Stop working at the restaurant. I will do my best to take care of you," Ana promised and Mrs Morris

    "Hmm, you will have to convince your wife to be okay with it. Get ready, tomorrow is your wedding day. It is going to be grand," Mr Scott announced and Aiden frowned. Once the call ended, Aiden felt the need to let Ana know what was going to happen and what she should expect. He didn't know why he felt like telling her but it didn't stop him from heading towards Ana's room. He knocked on her door and remembered the time he had walked in on her half-naked. He recalled how radiant her skin was. Her baby bump was gradually beginning to show. She was pregnant but very beautiful. The door slowly opened interrupting Aiden's thought. "Can I come in?" Aiden asked calmly and Ana was surprised wondering where the aggressive authoritative attitude went. Ana stepped away from the door and allowed Aiden in. Aiden sat on the sofa in the room and Ana pulled the chair behind the table and sat on it. She was still in the dress she had worn to go visit her mother. It was only a couple of minutes ag

    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
