"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
At the hospital, Dr Jerome looked at Aiden with a smile. "Congratulations, she is pregnant," Dr Jerome said. Aiden smiled but the smile quickly faded away seeing the look on Dr Jerome's face. "What is it?" Aiden asked. "She will need a lot of medical attention if not the baby will not grow well as it should and she might even lose it. Again," Dr Jerome said. "Do everything you need to do. Money is not a problem," Aiden said. "Does she know something happened?" Dr Jerome asked. "We never talked about it," Aiden replied. "Hmm, how do you think, she will take the news of a second pregnancy which appears to be without her approval? Again," Dr Jerome asked. "Don't tell her anything. I will find a way to tell her myself. Do you know about her cycle?" Aiden asked. "Since the drugging incident, her cycle has been irregular. I told her not to worry about it and it will correct itself. That is how I got her to stick to the routine check-up," Dr Jerome said. "Good, keep it that way. I
"Oh my God. No, no, no, it can't be," Amanda said waking Marcus up. "What happened?" Marcus asked. "This can't be true," Amanda said breaking down in tears. Marcus got down from the bed and walked towards Amanda who had her head on the table in tears. Marcus saw she was going through the files she had picked from her former apartment. He saw the picture of a woman and a child. And he saw the image on Amanda's screen and his eyes widened. "Oh, dear Lord. This can't be," Marcus said looking at the two images. The one on Amanda's laptop and the one on the file. "Why did my father do this to me? Couldn't he have told me this earlier? He had to write on a piece of paper and hide it in a safe for when he was no more. Now look what I have done to my sister," Amanda cried. Marcus stood frozen looking at the laptop screen. He was also involved in all of this. He carried out Amanda's instructions. If anything he did. "Come to think of it. She did have some resemblance to Amanda but how co
Aiden moved away from the window and fetched his laptop from his bag, turned it on and sent all the evidence proving Amanda was the one behind the murder of Ana's family and Mr Smith to the chief of police. Back at Aiden's former apartment, Marcus fearing danger was trying to convince Amanda to leave town to which she was adamant. First, she was not interested in marrying Aiden until she met him. She was mesmerized by his handsome features and hearing about him. He was influential and rich. Having such a man as a husband will make her look good. She was somehow disappointed when Aiden made her sleep in a separate room and all her efforts to sleep with him failed. She was beginning to think Aiden might not be into women until she saw how Aiden looked at Ana. This was what necessitated the investigation of Ana. She wanted to know who this Ana girl was even though Aiden had introduced her as head of the servants or something. To her shock, she had found out Ana was pregnant and she was
"Are you going to help me with my plan or what?" Amanda yelled on her way out and Marcus just followed her out. Outside inside the car, Marcus got behind the wheel and Amanda gave Marcus a destination. Marcus stared at her briefly and moved the car. At Aiden's private apartment on the hill, Aiden after sharing the information with the chief of police, kissed Ana before leaving home for the office. The project was ongoing and with Mr Harper gone, he needed to be around to see to the work. When he arrived at the office, the person he spoke with was already there waiting for him. "Bryon, good you made it. I believe you are done with your interview?" Aiden asked. "Yes," Bryon replied and followed Aiden to his office."The reason I brought you here is simple," Aiden began. "I need someone to be on top of security. With everything going on, I need someone I can trust to do that. This is why I asked you to come," he said. "I understand," Bryon replied."Your onboarding will start tomorro
Aiden took it from him and realized it was locked. He did something and unlocked the phone surprising Lewis. He checked the phone but there was no indication of communication between Lewis and anyone. He gave the phone back to Lewis. "How did they find where I live?" Aiden thought. His phone buzzed while he was lost in his thoughts. He checked and it was from the hospital, where Perez was on admission. He answered it and brought the phone to his ears. "Hello," Aiden said. "Hello, Mr Scott. I just called to let you know Mr Perez left the hospital," the doctor reported. "How was he when he left the hospital and what time did he leave the hospital?" Aiden asked. "Aside from a pain in his left leg which may cause him to limp, he had made a full recovery. We took him off his last medication four days ago," the doctor reported. "And he discovered this morning he was no longer in his bed," he added. "Was it a kidnap or he left on his own?" Aiden asked to confirm Amanda had not picked u
There was a little struggle as Aiden tried to disarm Amanda. The police arrived at the scene at the same time as their sirens were heard coming from afar. The gun went off and Amanda and Aiden both froze in place.Ana stared at the two standing before her. Aiden took two steps backwards holding his stomach. He looked at his hand which was stained with blood as Amanda examined herself still holding the gun. "Aiden," Ana called him in a whisper, her eyes quickly filled with tears."Ana," Aiden said as he went down on one knee and the next knee followed with one hand stretched towards Ana. Aiden fell face down and Amanda turned pointing the gun at Ana. She took some steps backwards towards where Aiden was lying. With the gun still pointing at Ana, she forced Aiden's head up pulling him by his collar."You are not gone yet," Amanda said almost kneeling next to Aiden. "Now watch as I put a bullet in between her eyes. You can take that memory with you. My generous gift," she said and pulle
