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
For some reason, Aiden saw that coming. He felt his father was up to something but he just allowed it to see what his father's motives are. "So, where will you take your wife in the meantime?" Mr Scott asked sipping his drink. "Dad, if you wanted to help, you would not be telling me this on this day," Aiden replied and Mrs Scott joined them. "What is happening, Aiden? Smile is your wedding day. I am so proud of you son," Mrs Scott said and Ruth also joined them. "Where is your wife?" Ruth asked before Aiden could react to Mrs Scott's statement. "Chatting with her friends," Aiden replied with no expression. "Brother, come on. Why do you look like someone forced you to say those vows on the altar?" Ruth asked. "Nothing, just have a lot on my mind," Aiden replied thinking Mrs Scott and Ruth were unaware of the deal that led to him marrying Ms Thatcher. "Here comes the new member of the Scott family," Ruth said drawing the trio, Mrs Scott, Mr Scott and Aiden's attention to Ms Tha
Next was a resounding slap landing on Ana's face. The servant who had just entered the living room froze in her steps as the sound of the slap drew her attention to what was happening in the corridor above the living room. Ana stared at the woman, holding the side of her cheeks that had received the slap. She shifted her gaze to the servant on the living room floor, and the servant quickly resumed what she was doing and exited the living room. "When I ask a question, you respond. Moron," Amanda said. "Understood. But what is that above you?" Ana said calmly looking above Amanda. Amanda frowned, but out of curiosity followed the gaze of Ana and raised her head to find out what Ana was looking at above her head. The moment Amanda lifted her gaze to look up, a resounding slap landed on her face, almost making her lose her balance if not for the railing that supported her falling weight. "Did you just slap me?" Amanda asked holding the side of her cheek. "Oh! I did? It was a slap? I t
