All Chapters of The Billionaire's Forgotten Flame : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LAYLA —I never thought I would live to tell my story after Aiden caught me with Gray at the hotel, but he was surprisingly lenient with me. His treatment this morning even caught me off guard.After breakfast, I returned to my room eagerly and took out my phone to keep myself occupied. However, a thought crossed my mind. Aiden is not one to stay silent on a serious matter. Who knows if he chose to ignore me and go after Gray, the guy with me last night?I sighed with panic and logged into my I*******m account to check on Gray and see when he was last online. I wanted to know if he had been online since yesterday's incident."I hope he's still okay," I muttered to myself, scrolling through my message box to find his account.After a few seconds, I finally found his account. I clicked on it as if my life depended on it. However, when I saw his active status, my heart sank. He had not been online since yesterday. His last seen was at the exact time we had talked yesterday before I went t

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

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 here for close to an hour and not hearing 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 boy

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

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
