AIDEN

My mother and I hardly fight. Usually, I am the obedient son. The easy going one, who makes her life easier. Because I know how she’s suffered; how much she’d sacrificed for the both of us to escape the hell we used to live in—a life of fear and chaos, not knowing if the next day was going to bring death or respite.

It’s a past I strive to forget. The fact that my mother is trying to bring it up right now means that I’ve struck a cord. And now, she’s trying to add Willow to the mix.

    AIDENMy mother and I hardly fight. Usually, I am the obedient son. The easy going one, who makes her life easier. Because I know how she’s suffered; how much she’d sacrificed for the both of us to escape the hell we used to live in—a life of fear and chaos, not knowing if the next day was going to bring death or respite.It’s a past I strive to forget. The fact that my mother is trying to bring it up right now means that I’ve struck a cord. And now, she’s trying to add Willow to the mix.“Look, I get you’re pissed off.” I hold my hands up. “But it’s no reason to bring Willow into this. She’s done nothing wrong. It’s not fair blaming her for the toxic shit that goes on in this family.”“Oh, she’s definitely to blame for some of the toxic shit in this family.” She seethes. “She’s playing in Theo’s face. Theo. Her ex-boyfriend.” She points at me. “And then, she’s using you to make him jealous. Look. I know how girls like that operate. I know because I used to belike that.”“Willow Thomp

    AIDEN“What are you talking about? Let me guess… you want me to grovel. Trying to fuck with my head, are we now?” The more questions I ask, the more distance I put between me and my evil bro-monster. “I don’t have time for your games Theo. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go say hi to the lady of the house.”I say that last part to piss him off. With Theo’s mum no longer in the picture, he’s always acted like the victim, like my mum and I are out to get him. Which is totally ridiculous. I wish he could see how little I care about the things that matter to him. Perhaps I’ll show him by slowly but steadily stepping out of the succession race. I truly hope I get a hundred percent of Spencer’s support to pursue hockey professionally. That way, I can live a life doing what I love and Theo can become CEO of the conglomerate like he’s always dreamed of. And hopefully, this bad blood between us can end.I find my mum in the library. She’s reviewing the household’s balance sheets. She tends

    AIDEN“What’s good?” I ask, settling back down. “You wanted to talk to me?”“I did.” But rather than get right down to it, he decides to delay the inevitable. He gets up and goes over to the counter to pour himself a drink. Whisky neat.“Want a drink?” he raises his glass. “I’ve got whiskey. Or perhaps you’d prefer vodka.”“I’m good,” I smile. “Thanks.”“Suit yourself, son.” He returns to his seat and settles in before he takes his first drink. “So,” I drawl, wishing for nothing more than to get right down to it. “What do you want to talk about?”“How are you doing? Really. I heard some stuff from your mother. Something about how you’ve been having a hard time, trying to reach a decision about something. Anything I could help with? Is it money? You need me to increase your allowance?”Of course mother told him. I open up to her about my worries one drunken night and she takes it straight to her husband. “It’s not money,” I keep smiling. “What is this, Spencer? You usually do not ca

    AIDENIf there’s one thing Greg Spencer, aka Spencer Snr. has got going for him, it’s his ability to unnerve the shit out of people. Just like now, he’s got Theo and I on the edge of our seats, waiting for the meeting to start. I can already take a guess what this will be about.Mother had called before I showed up— to give me a heads up.“Wear a suit Aiden,” she’d said. “And when you do appear before your father, make sure to keep your composure. Don’t speak unless spoken to. Be the observer.”The usual words of wisdom from Grace. I recall them now. Spencer kicks off the meeting by asking Theo and I about school. And hockey. He’s pleased to know that I had dominated the last game. Theo doesn’t say much. He grunts out one syllable responses, allowing me to carry on the conversation. Dick.Once Spencer is satisfied that we aren’t be absolute losers on campus, he moves on to talks about the succession. “We’ll be starting the screening process next week,” he announces, eyes darting b

    WILLOWHelen asks for Vincent to come into her room for a moment. Just like me, he’s appalled by the mess on the floor. But he hides it better than me.Helen presents him with her gift for him. It’s an indigenous brooch and cuff link set, made out of zebra skin. It doesn’t seem to clash with his suit when he puts it on.“It’s nice, miss Thompson. Thank you.” Just as he makes to take it off, she stops him.“Wear it. It suits you.” She smiles at him. “Just like the sets I gifted my niece, you gift bears unique charms, meant to protect you from external attacks.”“What kind of charms, ma’am? Any I know of?”“Have you heard about African juju?” her brows wiggle. “I paid an extremely skilled witch to utilize the most powerful rituals in charming all the jewelleries. Since you’re guarding my niece so closely, I figured you’d be needing this little piece of protection.”“That was some good thinking on your part, miss Thompson. Thank you.”“Please call me Helen.”“He won’t,” I intercepted, gi

    WILLOW“Hi honey! Come on in.” Helen holds the door open for me. I step into the manor and she envelops me in a tight hug. “Oh. I’ve missed you.”“I’ve missed you too aunt.” I hug her back.“It’s Helen,” she corrects lightly. “Now, let me take a good look at you.” she holds me at arm’s length. “Wow, it’s been so long since I last saw you.”I snort at that. “It’s only been a few days, Helen.”“A few days can feel like a lifetime if you love someone.”Oh. That’s it then. We are finally at that point in our relationship where we can use the word ‘love’ freely. It makes me happy to have family that uses the word ‘love’ so easily.“I missed you too,” I tell her. “Come on. There’s something I have to show you.” She laces our arms together and leads us up the stairs towards her bedroom. She looks over her shoulder and smiles at Vincent. “You’re not following us into my bedroom, are you Vincent?”“No ma’am,” he replies smoothly, not losing his cool. “I’ll wait outside the door. I’ll also hav

    WILLOWI wouldn’t go as far as to call myself the kind of girl who goes out seeking danger.

An illegal fi

    WILLOWI wake up to the sound of my phone buzzing. At first, I think it’s just my alarm but it’s not. Tate Mccrae blasts at full volume and Violet groans in her sleep.“Ugh! Willow. Will you answer that already?” She grunts. “Some of us are trying to sleep here.”Blindly, I search for my phone, dis

    WILLOW“Willow!” The best phrase to describe Jane Keller is “cunt licker.” She’s the kind of girl that would do anything to get in Tessa’s good graces. Rumor has it that she’s being in love with Tessa since freshman year. That’s got to be the reason why she’s so devoted to her.If she’s trying to t

Those same eyes are fi
