Mrs. Cecilia was in a nasty mood. She asks John to get Aiden to her office immediately. John goes to Aiden's room and takes him to Madam's office.
Aiden was so scared. He thought she knows about him leaving the room and will surely punish him now. While on his way to the office, he was trembling like a leaf. His fears are confirmed when he sees Madam Cecilia, as she looks at him with so much anger and hatred.
Madam Cecilia wanted to punish this boy so bad, but she couldn't harm him now as Mr. Hunt had already shown an interest in him.
"Were you not instructed to stay in your room, boy?" she yells at Aiden.
Aiden jumps up in fear and stutters, "I…I…I was in my r…r…room only."
"Then how did the guests know about you?"
Aiden was confused and didn't know what she was talking about.
Looking at his confused look, she further asks, "Did you not meet Mr. Hunt's son?"
Aiden was even more confused as he did not know who Mr. Hunt is. He then suddenly remembers the strange boy he met in the backyard. He reluctantly says, "I…I…I met a boy in the backyard."
"Why did you go into the backyard? Had I not specifically instructed you to remain in your room?" screamed Mrs. Cecilia.
Aiden was scared and moved a little back. Mrs. Cecilia was so frustrated, but the damage was already done, and she has to deal with it.
She comes in front of Aiden and holds his arms tightly, and says, "Listen to me, boy and listen carefully. Mr. Hunt has shown interest in you, and there is a chance they might even adopt you."
Aiden was surprised at these words. Of all the things he was expecting, it was never this. Was he really going to be adopted? A bubble of hope was forming in his heart.
His thoughts were interrupted by Mrs. Cecilia. "If at all you are adopted, I want you to be on your best behavior once you are at their house. If you continue with your thievery there, I am sure they will send you back here."
She further threatened him, "If they return you because of your bad attitude, then you can't even imagine how I will punish you. I don't want to damage my Orphanage's reputation because of you."
Listening to the threats, Aiden was in doubt. Nothing comes easy. He couldn't do anything but just nod his head.
"Don't just nod your head; use your words. Do you understand or not?" shrieked Mrs. Cecilia.
“ Y…y…yes Madam Cecilia. I…I…I understand."
She then asks John to take Aiden away. John nods his head and leaves with Aiden.
Aiden was relieved that he managed to escape his punishment. He thought about the strange boy he met earlier. Will he be his new brother? Will he finally have the loving family he always wished for? Aiden didn't want to expect much, but still, his tiny little heart couldn't help but hope. Hope for a better life and a better future.
Back at the Hunt's Mansion, Dylan tried his best to convince his parents to adopt Aiden. "I agree the boy's background is bad, and his parents are in jail, but that can work to our advantage."
"How can this be an advantage? The boy is undisciplined and even steals from the other kids," says Mrs. Hunt perplexed.
That was a surprise for Dylan. The boy didn't seem undisciplined to him; rather, he was very well behaved. His instincts cannot be wrong. Mrs. Cecilia must have misunderstood Aiden. Anyways it doesn't matter now, Dylan has already taken an interest in that guy, and he doesn't want anybody else. Even if he was, as they say, Dylan will change him and make sure he behaves as he wants.
"Mom, Look at the bigger picture. If Dad adopts a child who was abused, it will help boost his political career to a new level. What's so great about adopting someone who is already good."
Dylan looks at his Dad and says, "Dad, If you adopt and take care of that child, you will be able to get the sympathy of people."
Mr. Hunt thought about it and looked at his son in admiration. He was merely 12, but his mind worked like an adult. His suggestion was good, and the more he thought he felt it was the right thing to do.
"What will we do if that boy does not listen to us?" asks Mrs. Hunt.
"Trust me, Mom. I can handle him."
Mrs. Hunt didn't seem convinced as she could not digest the idea of adopting a boy of such a terrible background. Even if the boy is innocent, she just felt disgusted by having such low-class people around her.
Mr. Hunt supports Dylan and tries to persuade his wife, "I like Dylan's idea. It will be a good strategy for my Election campaign."
Dylan holds his Mom's hands and gives her a pleading look. "Please give me a chance, Mom; if we are unable to control the guy, then you can send him back to the Orphanage." Dylan was her weakness, and she could never refuse her son when he looks at her like that.
Finally, even Mrs. Hunt agrees, and Dylan gives her a tight hug thanking her.
Later on, Madam Cecilia gets a call from Mr. Hunt that he was willing to adopt Aiden, and they will come in two days for the adoption process.
She meets up with the student counselor and asks her to meet Aiden and knock some sense in him.
Aiden just couldn't believe his luck. He was finally getting adopted and will soon have a new family. He was so excited.
When he met the student counselor, she basically repeated the same things he heard from the past two years; to be good and stop his so-called bad habits and behavior. The session was of no use to him because not their false assumptions, but his past experiences had already taught him what to do to avoid getting into trouble.
The following day, Aiden was fully packed and ready to meet his new guardians. He was nervous as well as excited. The Hunt's arrived at the Orphanage, and Aiden was called to Mrs. Cecilia's office.
Aiden first saw the boy who was sitting with two adults, probably his Mom and Dad. They looked pretty intimidating. The boy smiled at Aiden, and he smiled back.
Madam Cecilia looked at Aiden and smiled cheerfully. He was initially surprised as he only got disgusting and angry looks from her most of the time, but then he realized they were in the presence of guests.
She introduced Aiden to the guests and said, "This is Mr. and Mrs. Hunt and their son Dylan."
Madam Cecilia gave him a warning look. He smiled at the guests and stuttered a hardly audible greeting. Dylan smirked at his parents as if saying, 'I told you so.'
Madam Cecilia bent down on her knees and held Aiden's hands lovingly. "From now on, they will be your new family. She will be your Mom, he's your Dad, and he is your big brother," she said, pointing towards them.
Mrs. Hunt sneered when she heard Mrs. Cecilia addressing her as Aiden's Mom, but Mr. Hunt squeezed her hand to remind her to keep up with the act of being loving parents.
Mr. Hunt smiled at Aiden and said, "I am Joseph Hunt; this is my wife Diana and son Dylan. Welcome to our family, Aiden."
Aiden was too overwhelmed as he was not used to such politeness. He had never wished for much; just some care and a bit of love from someone were sufficient for him. He was happy and thanked God for everything. He was even grateful for this family adopting him but was too shy to say or do anything more than a smile.
After all the formalities and the signing of documents, they all get ready to leave. Before leaving, Mrs. Cecilia hugs Aiden and whispers in Aiden's ears, "Behave yourself, remember what I taught you, and no complaints."
The Hunt's family and Aiden go towards the car. The others sit in the car, whereas Aiden takes a last look at the Orphanage, which was his home for the previous two years, and then sits in the car.
The car was so spacious and flashy. He had never seen such a luxurious car let alone sit in one. The vehicle sped off towards a new destination indicating the start of a new journey for Aiden.
The Hunt Mansion was so huge and beautiful, Aiden couldn't stop staring at it in amazement. He had never in his life been inside a house so big and majestic. His little mind couldn't decipher the exact words to describe it; he just felt it was stunning. As they all entered the entrance hall, Mrs. Hunt calls for their family Butler Matthew and asks him to show Aiden to his room. Matthew smiles at Aiden and gestures for him to follow him. Matthew decides to show him the entire house before taking him to his room. He leads him to the family room, then the dining room, and the kitchen. There was a massive pantry beside the kitchen, fully stuffed. From the pantry, a door was leading to the Wine cellar. There was an extensive library and a home office, and Aiden is instructed never to enter these rooms without invitation. In the backyard, there were the servant quarters just behind the swimming pool. The garden was so beautiful with different
Aiden's new school will be starting next week. It was a typical elite school with socially privileged people from rich and powerful families like the Hunt's. Monday morning, Aiden leaves for school with Dylan in his car. This was a new experience for him, and it was apparent he was very nervous. As soon as Aiden entered the Prestigious school, he knew it was not meant for him. He got out of the car and stared at the grand building and the massive pillars that formed the entrance. He examined the dark, creepy-looking hallways and the antiques displayed authentically. Aiden and Dylan enter the hallway, and Aiden sees students are laughing and catching up all around. They all screamed of riches. Aiden immediately knew they were all out of his league. He spots a couple of guys at the end of the hallway, walking like they own the World. The guys approach Dylan, and he walks off with them, totally ignoring Aiden. Aiden knew nobody here apart

He first had to learn all the new topics and then do the tasks. Even though it was tough, he managed to do it nicely, as it was his forte, but finishing Dylan's school work and then his own had taken most of Aiden's time. Dylan was impressed as his teacher was satisfied seeing him doing his assignments on time.Slowly, Aiden had made it a routine to do all of Dylan's tasks like arranging his room and doing his assignments. Even Aiden seemed to adjust to this lifestyle.As compared to his previous homes, this was way better. He was not physically abused here, nor did he have to do any other chores except for Dylan's.

Reader discretion is advised.The following day, Aiden woke up when cold water was thrown on him. He gasped and saw a furious-looking Dylan was standing in front of him." You seem to like sleeping a lot," Dylan says, gritting his teeth. Though his words felt normal, it was meant to be sarcastic.Dylan never expected Aiden to go against his orders blatantly. The submissive boy he had seen the past few months was missing. Maybe Aiden is getting too comfortable with this luxurious lifestyle. Indeed Dylan was too easy on him. Dylan felt like losing control over his possession, and he

He decides to go to the restroom before heading to the cafeteria for lunch.As Aiden was leaving the washroom, he was suddenly pushed inside by someone.Aiden was shocked by the sudden intrusion; he looked up, scared out of his wits, and saw his senior Bill push him towards the wall." Hey cutie, you look good today! " said Bill in an attempt to be seductive, but Aiden cringed at his tone.'P-Please l-let me go," Aiden stuttered in fear." I will let you go if you give me a kiss," purred Bill.Aiden tried to push Bill, but Bill used his strong hand to pin Aid
Aiden thanked God for his luck. Lying in bed, he was thinking about his narrow escape from Dylan's punishment.After Dylan had threatened him at the school, Aiden could not concentrate on his classes.On most days after school, Aiden had to walk home alone, as Dylan would always hang out with his friends or the numerous girlfriends he had. But today, Dylan had told him they would be going back home together. When it was time to go home, Aiden reluctantly went towards the car where Dylan was already waiting for him. As Aiden trembled in fear of the impending punishment, one of Dylan's girlfriends, or to be more precise, fuckbuddies approached him.Aiden reluctantly stood near the car, trying to avoid looking at the couple eating each other's faces. The girl was all over Dylan while his hands were inside her skirt. Dylan smirked when he caught Aiden secretly glancing at him while Aiden was very flustered and looked down, mortified. Dylan then had a sud
The staff at the Hunt Mansion was busy preparing for the upcoming graduation party of their young master. It was going to be a big party, so Mrs. Hunt instructed the staff that she wanted it to be the best and that they could not afford to make any mistakes. Many elite guests were invited, including Mr. and Mrs. Hunt's friends, business colleagues, and Dylan's school friends.The school term had ended, and while everyone was talking about the weekend party, Aiden was sulking about going to England with Dylan.Aiden had just been called into Mr. Hunt's office to learn that he had been accepted to the new school in England. Aiden's school performance was outstanding, so he could make it through with no problems. With those words, his final hope was lost.Soon, the day of the party had arrived. The guests started pouring in and Dylan got busy drinking and celebrating with his friends. Aiden was not in the mood to attend the party, but Mrs. Hunt had ordered hi
Dylan dragged Aiden to his room and pushed him to the wall forcefully." What the f**k was that?" he roared, and Aiden trembled in fear looking at Dylan's eyes red with anger." I-I...., H-He...." Aiden tried to say, and Dylan gripped Aiden's shoulder tightly. " Tell me, what were you doing with that bastard?"Dylan didn't know why seeing Aiden with Bill bothered him so much, but he knew one thing if his Dad hadn't stopped him, he would have killed that bastard for sure.Knowing that his silence would anger Dylan even more, Aiden stuttered a response, " I-I didn't do anything. H-He forced himself on me."Dylan vaguely remembered seeing Aiden trying to push Bill away from him and felt a sense of relief. His mood suddenly changed, and he said in a calmer voice, " Ahh yes! Obviously, you wouldn't dare to do such a thing. "Aiden nodded frantically, and Dylan loosened the grip he had on him. " I should have known you are not the type to associate with fags
