The post immediately changed the argument on social media as people started paying attention to the image of Ana and Aiden and they could tell, Aiden appeared to be unconscious. "It appears this Ana is a gold digger. I feel so sorry for Ms Thatcher and what she had to deal with," came a commenter. "I don't trust these rich people. For all you know this lady is being accused falsely," came another commenter who quickly got a reply. " Are you that blind? Can't you see the man in the picture is unconscious? Look at his hands?" replied a commenter. "I don't care what you think. In this time of high technology, anything is possible," the commenter who had posted earlier about Ana being falsely accused reacted. "Hey, guys, chill. Whether or not she is innocent, it is only time that will tell," came another commenter. "Mr Scott is my favourite. Who is this stupid girl and why is she doing this?" a lady called Bella commented. While these conversations were going on on social media, Mr
Meanwhile, Daniel had read Aiden's message and had left the hotel on his way to the location Aiden sent him. Daniel arrived at the hospital premises. He saw Ruth heading towards the exit. He put his baseball cup on and pretended to be on a call with his back facing the entrance. Ruth was on call. "I didn't see the message but I am sure he touched my phone. I moved him to a different ward because you said you would pass by," Ruth said and added the ward number as she walked towards her parked car. Daniel heard what she said and concluded the ward she mentioned might be where Aiden was. He turned his back to the car park and waited for Ruth to leave before taking his baseball cap off and entering the hospital. "Good evening, my name is Daniel," Daniel said displaying his ID and after requesting where he could find Aiden's ward giving the ward number to the lady at the reception. The lady showed him and Daniel thanked her before proceeding to the ward. When Daniel got to the ward,
"Aiden is gone and their stupid security cameras were capturing nothing. No one knew when he left the hospital. The nurse went to his ward to administer his early-hours medication only to find an empty ward," Mr Scott replied and Mrs Scott frowned. "Aiden's doctor," Mrs Scott said after 5 minutes of silence."What about him?," Mr Scott asked sounding irritated. "I am telling you Aiden is gone and you are talking about his doctor," he added. "Aiden was injected with medication to keep him weak. If he had managed to leave the hospital, he would go to his doctor for treatment," Mrs Scott said. "You are right," Mr Scott agreed and quickly got on the phone. Back at Aiden's apartment, Amanda woke up in high spirits. Alice and her mother are no more. Ana is in prison and Aiden is in the hospital. Now is the time to file for a divorce and take everything from Aiden. She will now focus on Mr and Mrs Scott. She was ready to make them pay for the loss of her father. "Get up Marcus. There is
"Sir, Aiden Scott just logged into his account," the person said. "Good, find his new location and report back to me," Mr Scott said and the call ended. "Now I need something that will force Aiden to sign the divorce papers and give in to Amanda's demand," Mr Scott thought and Monica came to mind. "Aiden will do anything for Monica but there is also Ana. I wish I understood the relationship between Ana and Aiden. Was she just a surrogate or there was more," Mr Scott thought. "Let's see how fast he will move to get Ana out of prison," he said to himself and continued with his work. Back at the office, Amanda was behind her laptop working when her phone buzzed with a strange number. She stared at the number for a while and allowed the call to drop. She checked her call history and realized the number had tried calling her earlier. She called the person back. "Hello, who is this?" Amanda said but was met with silence but she could hear someone breathing studily. "Hello?" Amanda as
"Perfect," Aiden said and sat down behind his desk. He downloaded the attachment in the email and started going through it. "If that is what you want, I will gladly fulfil your wish," Aiden said and started filling out the attached form.Once he was done filling out the form, he attached the sign pad and signed the document before sending it back to the sender. Aiden stood up from behind his desk and went up to the rooftop with his laptop. Relaxing on the seat, he continued to work on his piled-up files as he was away for close to 72 hours. At the police station, Chris had a call from the police headquarters. He quickly answered the call seeing the caller ID."Hello, sir," Chris said."You have Ana Morrison in your station?" the boss asked."Yes sir. The Scotts filed a case against her," Chris replied."Well, the Scotts also called me. Release her immediately," the boss said."Yes sir," Chris replied and the call ended. Chris dialled Mr Harper's number on his phone and waited for h
"Get ready, Friday, we are going to court," Amanda said staring at him. "I will take everything away from you. By the time I am done with you, a street beggar will be richer than you," she added and Aiden chuckled. "No problem," Aiden replied and Amanda also smiled wickedly. Marcus was sitting in the car watching the two. He was happy Amanda didn't kiss Aiden. He moved the car into the garage to park as Amanda headed for the main house. Aiden sat in the back seat of his car and Lewis drove out of the compound heading towards Mr Harper's home. On the way to Mr Harper's apartment, Aiden called Mr Harper. "Hello Mr Scott, happy to hear from you," Mr Harper said on the other end of the call. "I see," Aiden said. "Where is Ms Morrison?" he asked. "I don't understand," Mr Harper replied pretending not to have heard Aiden's questions. "You picked up Ms Morrison from the police station. Where did you take her?" Aiden asked. "And before you lie to me, know that there is a picture of you p
Outside in front of the ICU. Aiden was feeling sorry for Ana when he saw a familiar figure pushing someone in a wheelchair. "Monica?" Aiden whispered and took long strides towards the person to confirm if it was really Monica. "Monica," Aiden called out and the lady stopped.The lady turned around to see the face behind the familiar voice. "Aiden," Monica said when she came face to face with Aiden. He was not his usual self. He was in his full tuxedo but there was something off about him. Monica knows him too well, to know there is something wrong with someone he cares deeply about. Her eyes noticed the blood stain on the collar of his shirt and Monica wondered what happened."Monica," Aiden said looking at her before his eyes shifted to the person sitting in the wheelchair."How are you doing?" Monica asked lowering her head."What do you think?" Aiden replied recalling the drug incident at the hotel which made him marry Amanda. "And who is this?" he asked without waiting for Mon
"I am going to send some details to you. I want you to verify them for me. Use a different approach," Aiden said and ended the call. He typed something on his phone and sent it over to the person. He raised his head to look at Ana one more time before leaving the hospital. Lewis saw Aiden coming and he moved the call closer. "Where are going, sir?" Lewis asked. "To the office," Aiden said and Lewis moved the car out of the hospital's compound and headed for A&M Constructions. At A&M Constructions, Mr Harper had called a meeting with the various heads and he was sharing with them a different plan for executing the railway project. "Wait, but Mr Scott shared a detailed project plan for this project why can't we use it?" the finance manager asked. "I am the new project lead. I am bringing a plan I can work with," Mr Harper replied. "Okay, what is wrong with the plan we have now?" the finance manager asked. "I can't point out the problems with it now. So let' just make another on
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
