"Well, he is not back from work yet. So I waiting to find out who is in that room," Ruth said."Okay, Mum. You are right," Ruth replied still holding the phone to her ears sitting in the living room with her legs crossed. The call ended and Ruth called Angela to the living room."Now tell me, who is that in that room?" Ruth asked."Ma'am, I am telling the truth. I don't know," Angela replied."Are you as useless as you look?" Ruth asked angrily and Angela was silent. "How long have you been working for my brother?" she asked."Three years," Angela replied."Good, get ready for retirement," Ruth said and stood up."Ma'am, I swear to you. I don't know anything. Sir, asked me never to go up to the side of the room. Only one person goes up there but that is just to clean. I only work here, please," Angela said on her knees."Now we are getting somewhere. Who cleans that room? Get me the person," Ruth said and sat back down.Angele left the room immediately and returned with another maide
"Hello, Mum," Aiden said as soon as he answered. "Aiden, who is that woman in your apartment?" Mrs Scott questioned and Aiden frowned. "You will have to be specific, Mum," Aiden said. "I understand you are keeping a woman in your apartment," Mrs Scott said. "I have a lot of women in my apartment. So what are you talking about?" Aiden asked. "Don't play smart with me, Aiden. You know what I am talking about," Mrs Scott said. "Mum, to be honest, I don't. I will appreciate it if you will be more clear and I can give you an answer," Aiden replied. "Ruth just left your apartment and she said there is a pregnant woman in your apartment," Mrs Scott said. "I like the fact that you said it is my apartment. And again, I have a lot of females in my apartment. I don't have a restraint on their sexual relationship," Aiden replied not ready to tell Mrs Scott about Ana. "So one of your servants got pregnant?" Mrs Scott asked. "How am I to know? I don't suppose you think I sleep with my se
"I will have someone take care of that," Mr Scott said and fetched his phone. He dialled a number and after confirming the name of the hospital spoke to someone instructing the person to go to the hospital and get rid of Ana and the baby. "Now that is taken care of. Tomorrow I will be meeting with the senator and we can finalize the marriage arrangement," Mr Scott said. "That is perfect," Mrs Scott said. "I will be in my room," Ruth said and left the living room. Back at Aiden's apartment, Aiden was lying on the sofa of his small office asleep with the empty bottle of whisky and glass on the floor. Angela turned off the lights and went to bed after completing her duties for the day. So did all the servants to their rooms. At the hospital, Haga was on night duty. Dr Jerome prepares to leave for home after assigning Haga to attend to Ana. His shift will start again in the morning. He was doing a straight day, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. He had stayed in the hospital till late because of Ana
"Hello Dr Jerome, why this early morning call?" Aiden asked."It is about Ana," Dr Jerome said. "I don't care about her. Is that the baby okay?" Aiden said and Dr Jerome sighed."Okay, if that is how you want it. I have reasons to believe someone wants to harm your unborn child," Dr Jerome said."What happened?" Aiden asked his heart racing because he had decided to care for the child giving him all his love with no plans to fall in love again."I changed Ana's ward, I mean the baby's ward, without updating the system with the changes. This was to make it easier for Nurse Haga to attend to the baby," Dr Jerome said and paused for 5 seconds. "A pregnant woman who was sent to the room where your baby was previously occupying was found dead this morning," he narrated."Mr Scott, if you want to keep the baby safe, we have to move Ana from here. Someone knows and wants to harm both mother and child. She is not safe here," Dr Jerome added."Have my baby discharged and brought back to my ap
At the family house, Mr Scott was on the call looking very angry. "You eliminated the wrong person," Mr Scott said on the call. "Find that girl and correct your mistake else I will hand you over to the police myself, " Mr Scott said angrily and disconnected the call."I can't believe they messed this up but do you know who the girl is?" Mrs Scott asked doubting Aiden got involved with one of his servants."Who she is would not be important if she is no more," Mr Scott said. "Hmmm, I don't want anything messing up our plans," Mrs Scott said tapping her knees impatiently. "How about this, let's go see the senator tomorrow and announce Aiden's marriage. Whatever relationship he has with that pregnant girl will end," Mrs Scott suggested. "Yes, that will work and it will also stop Aiden from getting involved with another woman," Mr Scott said, smiling at his wife. At Aiden's private property. Dr Jerome was with Aiden sharing his usual report on Ana's health but realized Aiden was not l
The dietician just stood up and left. Aiden was angry but it was not because of what the dietician said but because the dietician was a woman. What Monica did to him was still fresh in his memory and he had not been able to forgive her. "Women. They will ask for everything to be comfortable expecting men to provide and later turn around to betray you," Aiden said looking at the closed door with a frown. At the family house, Mr and Mrs Scott were getting into the car parked in front of the apartment entrance. Their driver brought the engine to life and drove out of the compound towards the senator's office. It was late afternoon when they arrived at the office and they were ushered in by the secretary. "Mr Thatcher, how are you?" Mr Scott said offering Mr Thatcher a handshake. "It has been great. I get occupied with so much work lately," Mr Thatcher replied and also greeted Mrs Scott. "Once I become the prime minister, rest assured, I will be helping with the workload," Mr Scott s
"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
