"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
"What does she mean, how? How else can one get pregnant," the doctor thought looking at the shock registered on Amanda's face, like she had just heard the world's impossible news. "How is it that I am pregnant?" Amanda asked again. "I take birth control pills and my partner uses protection," she said."Maybe you missed a couple of pills and the protection, was not exactly protected," the doctor said."No, I can't be pregnant. I don't want it," Amanda said."Okay," the doctor said. "First time?" he asked reading the stress Amanda was having."Yes," Amanda replied looking like she had just committed a crime for which she had been caught."Okay. I understand how you feel about getting something you did not plan for," the doctor began. "But I would want you to think about it first before making a decision," he added."There is nothing to think about. I want it out and I want it out now," Amanda said almost yelling. "Calm down. Let me do some examination first to be sure about the safety,
The night became longer but the morning still came and Aiden started putting things in place for the conference. It was soon afternoon and all the media team was ready to hear what Aiden had to say. The chosen place for the press conference was a hall in the middle of the city. Aiden opened invitations for all the media channels to be present. He was alone with no PRO, not even a family member. Aiden sat behind the table facing the press from different media channels with the camera snapping away with recorders and some transmitting live. "My name is Aiden Scott, former CEO of Golden Light Hotel and current CEO of A&M Constructions," Aiden began. "You have all seen the news going around social media. I have decided today to talk about it. You have all formed a perception about me. Both good and bad. What I say here today I know will not make much of a difference. I am not here for those who have already formed their opinion about me. I am here for those who want to hear my explanati
Marcus checked on the social media platform and was surprised at how fast the argument had changed. It was a balanced ongoing discussion when everyone was wondering who tried to drug Aiden but now Amanda has been mentioned as the one who drugged Aiden to frame Ana. "Amanda, do want me to handle this?" Marcus asked. "No. Seeing the conversation on social media, whatever we do at this moment in reaction to Aiden's press conference would only make us more guilty. We do nothing. Let Aiden have his moment. We failed today, we win tomorrow," Amanda said and rubbed her belly gently. Marcus looked at Amanda carefully and already knew what she was going to do next seeing the smile on her face and the way she was rubbing her belly. He decided not to say anything because Amanda had not told him about her pregnancy even though he was aware she was pregnant. Marcus perforated all the protection he used anytime he was intimate with Amanda and he also messed up with her birth control pills. His i
"You are fired," Aiden said and some of the managers present were surprised wondering why Aiden would fire the deputy CEO. "Mr Scott, what is the meaning of this? First, you changed my office and moved me to the space before the marketing department. And now you want to remove me from office," Mr Harper said. "No, I am not just removing you from office. You are your team. I believe you made enough money to take care of yourself until you find yourself in a job," Aiden said and Mr Harper frowned. Aiden called out the remaining members of Mr Harper's team with whom he was executing the fraudulent acts. "Now here is the reason why I am firing these people from this company," Aiden said and turned on the projector and played the video. A video began to play where Mr Harper was having a conversation with the procurement officer. After convincing the procurement office to join him to make some money, Mr Harper was seen with other members of the company in his office discussing how they
It was 8. p.m. when Aiden and Ana arrived at the hospital and Dr Jerome ran some tests on her. Ana was put in one of the wards as she looked very weak. "Please give me some good news," Aiden said looking at Dr Jerome holding a file in his hand. Out in town, Amanda was just a five-minute drive away from what used to be her father's apartment. Memories of her father flooded her mind and tears began to fill her eyes. Marcus occasionally looked at her from the rear-view mirror and his heartache for her. He wished there was something he could do to help her but alas, he was just her bed warmer and a driver. He focused his gaze on the road knowing deep down that if he wanted to protect the woman he loved dearly, he needed to step up his game. The car drove into the compound and Amanda got out heading for the front door. She was stopped by the security man. "Who are you and who are you looking for?" the security man asked. "Are you blind? Can you not recognise this face?" Amanda said ang
