AIDEN —

Today being Sunday, I decided to spend some time with my sister, Shayla Black, at her place so we could have a talk, as I couldn't handle what's been happening to me lately.

The fact that I had signed off my wife to someone I never knew worsened the whole thing.

It means that in a few days to come, someone somewhere might show up and claim Layla as his wife, and he might even accuse me of having an affair with his wife.

Although I don't really have too emotionally attached to Layla, I'm not ready to let go of her because of the benefits I get from the marriage.

As a businessman, I need to be seen as a responsible person by my subordinates through having that married status.

Upon arriving at her house, I was greeted by her security man, who later went in to inform her of my visit.

All of her domestic workers already knew me, and she had told them earlier to let me in whenever I visited.

Shayla is a single lady, although she has three children. As a successful businesswoman, she

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame    33: Layla Has Been Exposed

    LAYLA —After Aiden left for a place best known to him, the reality of my actions dawned on me, and I began blaming myself for my involvement with Daniel.He left me at first, only to come back now and refuse to accept his wrongs. Instead, he claimed Aiden spiked his drink, stole his business ideas, and even lied to him about me, then went behind him to befriend me.He blamed everything on Aiden.I felt so stupid for believing him. It hadn't even been a week since I managed to convince Aiden that I wasn't the one who stole the document he was looking for and even made him believe I knew nothing about his abduction.Now he has caught me red-handed chatting about how to flee from my marriage with him to be with the same person behind his predicaments. There's no way he wouldn't know now that I've been involved in all that's been happening to him all this while.Albeit Daniel's revelation made me know most of Aiden's shady deals, especially the document he made me see, right now, I felt

    AIDEN —"Are- - are you back?" She stuttered, her face pale as she noticed I had gone through her phone.I didn't say a word but stared at her in disbelief, gritting my teeth in agony."You never told me you would be discharged today so I could prepare for your comeback. I know you must really be hungry," she added, her voice shaking, and I could notice her whole body trembling."Yeah, I'm back," I said with a deep yet agonizing voice."I should have told you I would be discharged from the hospital today so you could prepare a poison to eliminate me quickly, right? And then you move on with Daniel," I added, stepping closer to her, each step resonating with a commanding presence.I could feel her heart pounding in her ribcage as I approached closer. She began drawing back."I'm sorry, Aiden. I didn't know what came over me to flirt with him," her weak yet manipulative voice uttered as she realized the rage evident in my eyes.I was trying as much as I could to hold myself together, as

    AIDEN —I was in my office working with my computer. I was going through the budget that was passed on to me to sign by the accountant.It was about the incoming purchase the company would be making for the summer sale.After a thorough examination, I found out there were no loopholes. Everything listed there aligned with the price stated; I proceeded to input my signature.However, as soon as I input my signature, I received a call from my manager."Hello, sir, have you signed the budget that was passed on to you?" His voice was a mix of desperation and worry as he spoke."Yes, is there a problem? Was there a mistake in the budget?" I responded with my mouth open.He couldn't talk but exhaled a deep sigh of frustration."Come on, talk to me, Morris; what is the issue?" I rose to my feet, a strange feeling washing over me, causing unexpected beads of sweat to coat my forehead."I'm sorry, but the budget was forged and not the original company's own that you have signed. Our domain was

    DANIEL —After discussing with Layla on the phone yesterday, I became scared that she's about to make a U-turn to side with Aiden.She was doubtfully questioning every action I took, and it started when I told her that I was the one who kidnapped her husband, Aiden, just so she and I could be together again.She never liked it, questioning why I had shot him in the leg if truly that was my intention and not killing him.After much back and forth, I invited her to come over today, where we usually see each other, so we can discuss face-to-face for a better discussion.Initially, she refused, fearing for her safety, but after much pleading and assurance, she finally agreed to come.We had agreed she would come during the evening as usual, but she later chose the morning.So as it stands, I'm trying to wrap up everything I'm doing in my house so I can head to the location as soon as possible before she reaches there before me and would not see me, which would likely make her go back beca

    LAYLA —"I see. You saw that but never called my phone. Did you even care to know if the news was true when I came back late last night?" He continued, his expression cold and unforgiving.I couldn't come up with an answer because there was no way I could justify what I did. It was evident that I was happy he was abducted and had thought he wouldn't return."I'm really sorry, darling. I wanted to call, but I forgot and then fell asleep unknowingly. I didn't even realize when you came back," I replied, stuttering as I spoke.A smug grin tugged at his lips as I made the remark. He was silent for a few seconds, his gaze fixated on the pen he was holding as he twirled it."I have told you not to call me that. Call me by my name," he commented. and I nodded in agreement. He clearly never had any feelings for me but was just using me to cover his single status."Now tell me, do you have a hand in this?" He questioned with an authoritative tone.The world around me seemed to shatter at those
