Chapter 31; Don't expect Aiden to forgive so easily? "What did she say?" Aiden's cold voice pierced through the silence. He watched the slender finger walk from her seat to the elevator which led to the terrace instead of where he was. Joseph wiped his sweaty face with a handkerchief, swallowed hard, and stuttered, "Mr. President, she asked for you to come meet her downstairs." "Hmm." He drew in his cheeks slightly and emitted cold air. Elsie had always been stubborn. Aiden Scott remained silent for a while. He took a long sip of the whiskey in his glass. "You can go now." "Okay, Mr. President." Joseph bowed respectfully before leaving. It was better to leave Aiden alone at this time, or else he would end up being killed by Aiden's anger. "Madam is so stubborn, always poking at the President's anger." He sighed heavily, walking away. On the terrace, Elsie watched the city lights with a heavy heart. Why was she even on the terrace? "It's beautiful h

Chapter 33; Who is she? Elsie turned around, her heart pounding in her chest. She recognized the voice immediately. It was her husband Aiden Scott. He stood there tall and mighty, his cold gaze glowering down at her. "Aiden!" she yelled, running into his arms. His pine scent and the smell of whiskey embraced her being. She looked up at him, pleading, "I am sorry for offending you. Please, I am sorry. I know it's not easy to believe I have changed, so I will not give up until you trust me." "I don't trust anyone," he muttered coldly, trying to peel her off him. It would have taken a greater effort, but a part of him enjoyed having her in his arms even when he was mad at her. Was he even? It was mere disappointment in himself. Despite five years of marriage, he had failed to make her fall for him. Her face turned sour, and she assured him in a sincere tone, "Until me, and I broke it. Not anymore." It sounded pretty unbelievable to Aiden, especially as

Chapter 35: Yet,you love me *Ding* His phone vibrated on the mahogany table, and with a glance, he could tell it was from home. He picked it up and answered, "Paulina, what is wrong?" Aiden heard screaming and heavy breathing from the other end, and his heart squeezed at the thought of Elsie. She was home. Could she be hurt? "Sir, it's your wife. She has burned down the kitchen," Paulina's panicked voice rang through the line. Something moved in his chest; it was unappealing. "How is she?" "The kitchen can't be saved. She ruined everything. If I had known she would do something so stupid, I would--" Interrupting the old woman's ranting, he asked in a dangerously low tone, "How is my wife?" Paulina shivered at his tone; it was rare for Aiden to get so angry. When he did, it had to be Elsie-related. Paulina swallowed hard, stammering in fear, "S-she is fine, only a little burned." "Little burns? Take her to the hospital. I am coming." There was no

Chapter 37; My husband is an enigma Frowning, he said, "What are you up to, Morbida?" He spotted her sitting on his nef looking at the family album. As he approached, she was pointing at the photo and laughing. It was a photo of him in a diaper. He was playing with yellow yarn. Even as a baby, he was stoic and dominating. Sitting next to her, he moved closer, his eyes hovering above the photo album. "What are you doing?" Laughing, she raised the book, pointing at a picture of six-month-old baby Aiden dressed as a sailor. "You look so cute here. I want to pinch those chubby cheeks so bad." Elsie turned the page to another where he was clad in a pirate outfit, holding a sword made of butter. "Who are they?" Elsie pointed a photo of the family. She recognized the mother Loretta Scott, grandmother Justina Scott and father Lowe Scott but not the siblings. And of course her husband. "My brothers Chase Scott is the oldest is the one at the right, Adam Scot

Chapter 39: I will get whatever I want. In the opulent office, decorated with fine furnishings and adorned with tasteful artwork, Sebastian Hawthorne sat across from Aiden at his exquisite mahogany table. Sebastian, a charismatic man with an impeccably styled black suit, emanated an air of confidence. His ensemble was completed by a one-of-a-kind silk tie, showcasing his impeccable taste. "I can't believe she asked to join the entertainment industry. Wow, she really wants to leave you. What did you say?" Sebastian inquired, his voice laced with a mixture of surprise and concern. Using past experiences, Sebastian was sure that Elsie would use this newfound opportunity to constantly meet with Henry Rowan and even worse, other men. For a woman who drugged Aiden so she could climb into his bed, she displayed several categories of shamelessness. Sebastian only pitied his friend, who fell for the wrong girl. Someone who could not recognize and cherish his love for her. I
