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
Angry, Amanda dialled the number but no one answered even though it was going through. She typed a message and sent it to the person.Who are you and what do you want from me?Amanda sent the message and waited to see what would happen. The message was delivered and a reply was sent from the same number. Amanda opened the received message and read it.Who I am does not matter. What I can do to you is what you should be thinking about. I know you, Ms Amanda Thatcher. You are staying in Aiden Scott's apartment. You are wearing a grey suit and sitting behind your desk with your phone in your hands. I like your diamond earrings by the way and the silver hair fascinator in your hair. I like the string panty and the red bra you are wearing underneath clothes. I wish I could say something about the expression on your face when you read this but I will only see that after sending the message. I am watching youAmanda read the reply and started looking around. She stood up from behind her desk
"How did he get that?" Amanda said and immediately remembered the strange call and message. "Is it Aiden?" Amanda thought. Back at the hospital, Aiden smiled after the call ended. He put the phone back in his pocket and walked towards Ana's bed. He sat on the chair and held her hand in his staring at her sleeping face."You will leave here soon and I promise to protect you," Aiden said and kissed the back of her hand. He recalled how he felt when he saw his ex-wife Monica again and compared it to how he felt about Ana. "I love you, Ana. I don't know how it happened but I do know I love you. I want you by my side forever," Aiden confessed, kissing the back of her hand again. Aiden rested his head on the space left on Ana's bedside while still sitting. He was still holding Ana's hand in his. In the morning, Ana opened her eyes to see Aiden resting his head on the little space left at the side of the hospital bed she was lying in. She tried to move her hand but realised Aiden was h
Mr Harper called Aiden, once Kate had left. "Mr Harper, why did it take you so long to answer my call?" Aiden asked and Mr Harper went silent. "Mr Harper, I don't care what you do with your spare time but respect the office rules. If you are using the office as an extension of your bedroom, can you tell the employees not to do the same?" Aiden asked. "I am not happy with this. Take your stuff outside the office," he added. "Mr Scott, you are not here. At least ask me why I didn't answer the call instead of accusing me falsely," Mr Harper said. "Don't play smart with me Mr Harper. We will not have this conversation again," Aiden said. "How is the project coming?" he asked. "We are processing 50% payment for all the materials to be delivered today," Mr Harper said. "Good, I will call our partnered suppliers to bring the items," Aiden said. "Okay," Mr Harper acknowledged and the call ended. Once the call ended, Mr Harper dialled a number on his phone and brought the phone to his
"Is about my first ex-wife and the ongoing news about me and Ana Morrison," Aiden said."Tell me what happened," Mr Jayson asked. Aiden went ahead and told Mr Jayson everything concerning Monica. "Something doesn't add up," Mr Jayson said. "You said Ms Monica was no friend of the family so it is strange your mother has her contact now that you two are divorced," he pointed out."I want to know what is happening. And there is a second request. Ms Ana Morrison lost her mother and sister in an accident. There was a fire in a Toronto apartment and a car crash here in California respectively. The driver survived and is still in the hospital," Aiden said."You want to know what exactly happened to confirm if it is just an accident?" Mr Jayson asked. "Yes," Aiden replied."Okay, Mr Scott. I will put my men on this and share findings with you," Mr Jayson said. "Let's do this as discreetly as possible. I have a feeling whoever or those involved are very close to me," Aiden said. "You are s
"Why can't I just tell her so she will make her decision?" Aiden thought looking at her. "Ana, there is something I need to tell you. Very important," Aiden found himself saying. "What is it? Tell me," Ana replied and sipped a glass of juice. "The day you lost the child," Aiden began and Ana lowered her head at the memory. "Dr Jerome run some test on you. The test revealed a reproductive health issue. Losing the pregnancy was not your fault. You were drugged and the drug used affected your reproduction system," he said and Ana's eyes widened as she listened attentively. "Ana, your window of childbirth is closing. If you don't have a child now, you may never get to have one in the future," Aiden said and Ana stared at him in silence for a while. "I am so sorry, Ana," Aiden apologized. "You have destroyed my life and what wrong did I do you? I was a nobody and my family was poor but at least I didn't have any health issues and I had a family. Now look at me. No family and now I hav
"Breakfast will be ready in 10," Aiden repeated. "Remember to take the food supplement," he added and Ana only nodded still confused about what happened the night before as Aiden walked out of the room feeling guilty. Outside the apartment, Aiden sat in the back seat of the car and stared at the window of Ana's room. Lewis put the car into motion and drove out of the compound with A&M Constructions as the destination. Aiden fetched his phone and sent a message to Dr Jerome. What side effects should I expect from the medication? Aiden waited a while and a reply came from Dr Jerome making his phone buzzed. Some memory loss. She will remember fragments of what happened but fully know something happened. We need to be careful what she remembers, or else she will feel taken advantage of. Aiden read the reply from Dr Jerome and turned off the phone screen. He did take advantage of her. He didn't mean to do things that way but there was no time. Aiden put his phone back into his pocket
