Aiden's mansionThe house was bubbling but most especially the kitchen. When she was leaving, Summer had announced to the servants that she'd be bringing her friend over for dinner and so, in the evening they were busy preparing the food and Summer was in the sitting room playing music.Marina came out of her room and walked down the stairs. She had been waiting for Aiden to get back from work so that she could discuss the issue of opening a store with him.In regards to that, she had also been up all day browsing the internet to decide her niche. She was thinking of selling clothes and accessories for both males and females but still thinking otherwise. That would require huge money and perhaps if Aiden was interested in her doing it, he would lend her the money.As she got to the sitting room, she went straight to the kitchen to check what they were doing as a lot of noise than usual was coming from there.“Good evening, madam” the maids all greeted as they sighted her.“Dinner wil
As she sat down there, all she could see and think in her mind was the fact that her husband was a demiGod and so desirable. More reasons to be cautious of Amira because one thing is never enough for her.“Huh?” Aiden said, tilting his head to face her properly, “I'm afraid I didn't catch that.”A blush instantly appeared on Marina's cheeks as she realized what she had just done. How could she have done that, thoughts as such swirled in her mind as she stared at his face?“I have something to discuss with you, hope you are not busy?” She finally composed herself and said, trying to know whether he was in a position to listen to her or not.“Sure, I am. Just say what you want and don’t bother about my work. I already decided to put everything aside for now,” he responded, giving her the go-ahead to say what was on her mind.“Alright…” Marina said though that wasn’t what she intended to say, but decided against it. At first, she had thought of pestering him about why he was not busy ton
As Aiden saw how distressed she looked about the situation, he held her hand and brought her to sit back on the spot she stood up from. He placed a hand on her shoulder as he stared into her eyes, he assured her with the most assuring words, “Amira is but a bee with no sting and you know what bees with no sting do, they do nothing.”“I…thank you for your understanding, Amira..” Marina was about to start explaining the reasons for her behaviors when he cut her.“No, you don’t need to explain about this. Don’t worry, I understand. Can I get my bath now?” He asked as he teased at the end that he had wanted to enter the bathroom before she stopped him.“Yes, sorry,” Marina said with a small smile. She was secretly happy that she bagged a good man.Aiden entered the bathroom when he was sure that they were done with their discussion and Marina was left in the room to do her things.She stared at the black card he gave her and with a pen and book in hand, she started getting her plans writ
Amira entered the office to meet Aiden's frowning face.“Are you done with your vacation or do you need more days to further enhance your enjoyment?” He asked, a foul smile playing on his lips.“I…I'm sorry, Sir. It was the traffic,” she tried to explain herself but was cut short by Aiden's next words.“And was it the ink you put on your lips that caused the traffic or the paint on your face? I'm curious, make me understand how the traffic started.” He asked, staring at her keenly as if he wanted to eat her whole.If Marina finding fault in her wasn't enough to make him angry with her, her coming late to work and looking as if she was about to go catch a man was more than enough.If anything Aiden didn't like it, he didn't like it if someone didn't take work important and that was what Amira was displaying to him.Amira was at a loss for words and she just blabbered on, not making sense with her sentence, “I…it. w..a..actually…”Aiden had to cut her off with a wave of his hand, puttin
“That's sad, sorry about that,” Marina said as she comforted her, rubbing her hand against her back.“When do you want to purchase it? We can start getting all the necessary documents ready now.” She said as she finally raised her head, stifling her sobs. ‘It is surely something hard to part,’ Marina thought as she saw how distressed Marie looked. She looked at George and her heart was wavering and she was about to talk when George held her back as he spoke up.“Marie, we came here just to check it out and we have some other places that we still have to check but surely your store will be on our mind,” George said as he stepped forward to take over the discussion.“Oh…” Marie cleaned her face and then apologized as she realized how desperate she was, “I’m sorry if I caused you any stress.”“It’s okay, I’ll surely put you in mind,” Marina assured her as she stared at her with a caring gaze.Soon, they ended their discussion and left the store. They entered the car back and George drov
Aiden’s office, Amira’s section.“Now, I want a staff meeting with everyone on this team,” Amira said as soon as she returned to the office.Her face was furious as she dropped the piles of documents on the table. After instructing all of them to a meeting, a chair and table were placed in the center of the room which she sat on and the rest of the staff found a way to lay their bums on their seats too.Amira placed her hand on one of the files and held it as she called out, “Miss. Claire, come here and take hold of your rubbish.” She said, not caring about being rude or not.The lady bearing Claire came out with slow steps with her head bowed and collected the file from Amira. She glanced through it and saw the many errors the President had made in her submission.“The president told me that we must make these files easy for him to go through before he can accept it and everything must be done before noon. It means that if we don’t finish it, we can’t go home.” he relayed the message
“Yes,” Marina mustered all her courage and said, “I don’t want to ever see you or have anything to do with you in my life again.”“Are you sure you won't be regretting this Jaden retorted sharply.“ I will never regret it I reject you today and I have no business to do with you even until my last day on Earth I hate you and I will hate you forever” Marina confessed as her heart was still bittered with hatred. All the bruises Jayden left in her heart came and it seems it was just yesterday.“ You better get out of my way before I would do something that the both of us would not live to regret” Marina shouted as he pushed him out of the way.“What did you come in to do” Jayden asked her.“ I came here to find you on top of your head” she replied sarcastically.“ If you say so but I still insist that the pass should remain past. The past has no connections with the present and should be treated as the past.Everything that happened in the past should be bygone” Jayden pleaded.“ Don't le
She had never felt this peaceful within herself for a long while and she was happy for the woman she was becoming...Marina couldn't wait to resume the store and she was happy to have Aiden in her life someone ready to see her accomplish great things in life, unlike Jayden who disgraced and abandoned her on her wedding day. “He is such a fool,” Marina said after remembering the encounter she had with him at the store."I guess I should sleep now."She said to herself as she lay gently on her bedThe bed was soft and fluffy as ever. She said a little prayer and dozed off.The next morning Marina felt more energetic and positive as it would be a very good day..she could feel it as he loved the feelings that came with it, She jumped to the kitchen ready to prepare breakfast as Aiden was ready to go to work .."Are you off to work," Marina asked "Yes I am, "Aiden answered as he was ready to go work."I made breakfast specially for you to thank you for yesterday and you must eat before you
