AIDEN —

They glanced at each other and nodded. "Sounds cool."

"What do you want us for?" One of them asked.

I sniffed and gulped, summoning the courage to make my intention known to them; however, realizing the devastating consequences it could cause, I opted to give them my card.

"This is my card; call me when you are less busy, and make sure it's only the two of you that are present there." I took one of their hands and handed the card, which has my number on it, to him.

"Don't forget." Just as I finished saying this, I raised my head only to notice that we're already a few kilometers away from my car.

"Thankfully I did not waste much time in doing this; I would have missed this opportunity," I mumbled inwardly, feeling accomplished.

"Thankfully my car is still here," I muttered as I saw my car still untouched at where I left it despite the doors not being locked.

"I believe you can trace your home from here," the driver said as he halted the car.

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame    27: A Bandage On His Leg

    LAYLA —It was Sunday morning, and Aiden was in his exercise room practicing martial arts while I stayed in my room getting things in order for the beginning of another week.Since he doesn't allow me in the kitchen to make food, I have become a jobless person in the house, so I have to find something to do to avoid feeling irrelevant.Although the maids do all the work in the house, including the whole building, I have prevented them from cleaning my room.At first, Aiden objected, but he later let me do things on my own, seeing how defiant I was in not letting anyone do the work for me.Initially, he thought I was doing it to avoid being exposed, and he erected a surveillance camera in my room to monitor my activities, but I continued with the cleaning.As I was still cleaning, I heard an incessant knock on my room door."Who's that?" I asked with an unpleasant tone."It's me, Anita, ma'am. I just want to inform you that the boss is about to go out," she whispered softly through the

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame    25: A Written Agreement

    AIDEN —I found myself sitting on the floor of an empty building, which I felt was an uncompleted one judging from the dusty floor. My eyes were tied this time and mouth covered with tape which they left little space for talking.The men who brought me here have all disappeared after telling me their boss would meet me shortly.After staying there for close to an hour and not seeing any sign of someone approaching, I began struggling to untie my hands and then my face for me to escape.I tried with all my strength, but all my efforts proved abortive. I couldn't untie myself. When I finally gave up, I heard a familiar voice echo in the room as it laughed."Do you give up so easily?" He asked and giggled lightly."Daniel, I know it's you. Your voice is not that difficult to identify even if you undergo throat surgery," I uttered, and I tried again to remove those ropes from my hand, but I kept getting my wrists injured."Oh, brilliant! You actually thought it was Daniel. Such a smart bo

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame    24: Who Are You Working For?

    Daniel —I was about to go and take a bath when I heard my phone ringing in my living room.I was skeptical because I was not expecting any call since my business time was over. I wanted to ignore it, but the person kept calling, and I ended up going to the room to answer."Layla?" I muttered, considering whether to accept or decline the call.After a few seconds of glaring at the screen, regulating my thoughts, I finally picked up the call."Hello, love, Are you at home already?" I remarked, feigning a soothing and concerned voice."That's not the reason I called Daniel. Do you have involvement in Aiden's recent disappearance?" She cuts me short.Not going to lie, the question left me utterly stunned. I don't know whether to deny it or tell her an honest truth."Disappearance?" I repeated the question, pretending I didn't know what she was saying."Yes, you heard me right. Daniel, answer my question. Do you have involvement in his recent disappearance? In fact, his disappearance, bec

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame    23: Daniel Is Smarter

    LAYLA —I still couldn't believe what I had witnessed a few hours ago. Did I just witness Aiden's trusted and reliable advisor seated with Daniel discussing?"Wonders shall never end," I exclaimed inwardly, shivers running down my spine.I was already coming out of the building after a meeting with Daniel to inform him of my mind, but seeing Mr. Reed there made me rethink that Daniel is eighty percent going to win this battle with Aiden, so I couldn't open up to him anymore.Instead, I brought up something different but related to Aiden and discussed it with him, which he still gave me assurance that he already has his plans figured out."Relax, Layla, no worries; it's just a matter of time, and Aiden will be no more in the spotlight. In fact, he'd be forgotten in this city." That was his exact statement to me.I sighed and wore my mask as I was about t

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame    22: Whisked Away

    AIDEN —It was exactly five o'clock in the evening when I closed from work.With a feeling mixed of relish and anticipation to find out what's really going on in my circle, I stormed out of my office, heading to my private car parking lot to drive home.As I got to the garage, I walked to my car, entered, and drove off the compound. My whole mind was consumed with thoughts about Daniel."I can't wait to get to Mr. Thompson's house so I can discuss this with him," I mumbled inwardly, accelerating the throttle pedal harder so I could reach there faster.After I had driven for about ten minutes, my car abruptly stopped on the road, leaving me frustrated."What the hell is wrong with this car?" I retorted, angrily turning on the ignition car, but it kept failing to start.I sighed exasperatedly and rested my head on the steering wheel out of confusion. The fact that this thing did not happen in an urban area but happened in this lonely area weakened me the most. To sum it all up, I was no
