"Aiden?" I ask surprised and his smirk gets even wider with my expression. I look around but I see no one else. "How did you find me?" I ask as I walk to my car casually showing him how unaffected I am. In the inside, I am freaking out.
"I keep a close eye to my stuff." He answers with a nonchalant shrug as he types something in his phone but his statement makes me stop."Your stuff?" I scoff turning to him. He looks at me with a glint a glint in his eyes."That's what I said.""Wait. We have to get things straight, Aiden." I say suddenly angry. Seeing my sister in her state fucked up my mind and then this man..."We will. Now get into the car and let's leave before the whole town watches us." He says his voice low. Sure enough there is a couple watching us from their lawn. I open my car and shut it close with a little more force than necessary.I see Aiden snicker before getting into the car too and I look at him."HowRelated chapters

Ring! "Stop. Please stop!" I almost cry into my pillow as the doorbell rings continuously. I try looking at the watch beside me and see it's only 6.02a.m. Ring! "Great. I'm coming." I say as I get up from the bed even though the person ringing can't hear what I'm saying. I stretch for a second.Ring! "I swear I'll..." I stop when I see a sexy man with black hair and blue eyes looking at me impatiently. "Oh! It's you." I say moving aside letting him in."I told you to be ready by six Alexandra. It's..." he looks at his phone. "6.06.""Yeah, I remember you mentioning something like that but I do not remember Saying 'yes' to that." Wait, why do I remember saying the same thing before? Oh, that right. The man thinks he can bully me around."Get dressed Alex. You are pissing me off." He says cooley but anyone could hear the threat behind his words. Any comment I want to say stills in my mouth. I bite my tongue and head back to my room and freshen up before getting into the sports gear I h

The sound of the alarm wakes me up with a start. I walk straight to the bathroom and start my morning routine. Twenty minutes later, I stand in my closet thinking of what to wear. I take out a white pant suit after finding a red blouse but I shake my head in disagreement. Red is my signature color but today I want to try something else.I walk to the section with dresses and look at each not feeling in the mood for any until I find a blue one. The dress stops just above my knee and paring it with a white or black blazer would give me the look that I'm going for. I walk to the blazers section and see the perfect white one. White heels it is then.Twenty minutes I'm done with dressing up and make up. I look at myself through the mirror and nod in satisfaction. I bet I look good in any color.Before the weekend, I would always go to Kelly's room to wake her up knowing that she's hit the snooze button a million times. The alarm never helped her."I could leave in twenty minutes." I mutter

The show went well. Aiden saved the day. He apologized to the women who felt scorned and at the same time announced to everyone that we are 'dating'. Troy has been over the moon since airing the show and receiving a lot of good comments and reviews. The viewers too increased."What are you thinking about?" Aiden asks looking at me intently. I look at him sit across the table with two glasses of our chosen drinks in between. We had just finished our dinner and I must say I was impressed. We were sitting on the rooftops of one of the kings' hotels and the view was spectacular."So, what was the occasion?" I ask, rising a glass to my lips. Aiden looks around at the city before his gaze settling on me."I'm opening a club." He says and I nod slowly wondering why he's telling me this. "You are good with business. I saw your skills. You Alexandra are a natural in the business world and I know your father will be back on Wednesday to take over." He says and I nod my mind already coming up wi

AidenFive years. That's how long I've known Alexandra Black. At that time she was only eighteen while I had just turned twenty two. Dad had insisted me to meet Mr. Black for a business deal. I knew of the Blacks, not personally but their name would come up in the business world time to time. Mum was impressed by their shoes that she always shopped from them and I think I had two or three pairs of Black Soles in my closet growing up.Mr. Black and Dad met in one of the parties and dad was impressed by him and even though their businesses were based on totally different things, dad had to partner up with him. I was the one responsible of closing the deal and since I had just taken over the business, dad had me handle it. I've always been paranoid, considering the family I grew up in. Dad headed the Mafia world and at the same time took care of the business. I took over the Mafia when I turned twenty but dad was always there to help me. We had agreed that I would start with one thing fi

AlexandraI know what Aiden Kings is involved in. I know he is in the mafia. Hell, he is the mafia, but I still took that leap of faith and came with him to his home. He had wanted to earn my trust and I let him in. But now, I'm done. We often hear about people being tortured and killed. Been told stories of someone's body found somewhere mutilated. Such stories would make me think about my life and wondering if I got into a situation like that how I'd fight with all my might to get out. I saw a lady about my age being tortured. The fight I had told myself I'd put when in one of those situations seemed like a dream someone in that position would wish for because the woman looked strong, not letting out any cry for some minutes before Ryan stabbed her thigh and twisted the knife. He looked cold, a sadist. Any whimper the woman released would cause Ryan to smile. His friend beside him would look satisfied but Aiden who was watching smirked. Who are these people?I wanted to move away an

I had left my car in my apartment parking so dad told one of his drivers to drive me to work. It helped since I had so much in my mind that concentrating while driving would be a problem.Dad had a doctor's appointment today and seeing how better he is, means he'll be coming to work as from tomorrow and somehow that made me sad. I love working in the company and I loved the thrill of it.I know dad would have assigned the job to one of the other bosses like Mrs. Tulip who was the Managing director but I was already announced as the successor and having a show studio in the same building is convenient. Dad had assigned me an office that I rarely went to because I'd only help dad when I saw he needed the help. That is after a lot of convincing from my part. That man adores his company.But dad coming back to the office also means that I can choose if I want to work for Aiden Kings. He did offer me to work in the new club. But the club will be just an act as he launders the money."Why a

I took two wrong turns before finding my way here. It's funny how the security team almost denied entry to me until I said my name and everything just became easier. I get out of my red car and go to the back seat where the shopping bags containing ingredients that I have seen my mother put together and some wine.Ryan's words made me feel bad and guilty for looking at Aiden like a monster when all along he's been protecting me. I didn't even know about the stalker and what happened to him apart from the bits of information dad told me. I'm still uncomfortable with how the men dealt with that woman and thinking about it only makes my stomach churn.I take the two bags and walk to the front door where the door opens immediately making me come face to face with two women, a guy and Aiden further away pursing his lips."Oh, my gosh. You!" The younger woman exclaims and I look at her before my eyes widening in recognition."Calla Brat Kings." I state appalled. She's the woman who was shou

"What's this that you're being so mysterious about?" Kelly asks from behind me as we stand in front of the Club. Next to her is her boyfriend, Tim. Then Naomi and my mother. Dad should be here any minute now. He just saw Mr. Kings and went to say hi."You brought us all the way for a club opening Alex?" Mother asks but I don't say anything for a few seconds."As much as I love clubbing, I'm a little confused. You said this is something important that we shouldn't miss for anything in the world." Naomi looks at me, raising an eyebrow as if trying to figure out what I'm playing at and I roll my eyes. "Let's just go in." I say."It's your boyfriend's isn't it? So you brought us to support him. Right?" Kelly asks as if she's figured out and I let out a small laugh. I lead them inside the club and take them straight to the VIP. I love the interior. Red leather covers the walls and chairs and a black marble flooring."Wow. You have to tell your man I'll be a regular customer here. Check th
