“Marry her?” Richard couldn’t believe his ears. What was General Aiden talking about, he was bothered about the fact that he first of all even found the need to find the girl in question. Secondly, he offered to give her a huge sum one money and he wasn’t comfortable with that either. And now, the General wants to get married to her, what? It’s not like Richard was against Aiden getting married, his problem was that he had just newly resumed his position as the new General, and he felt that it would be proper and more better to spend some time absorbing the new role of leadership before adding externals. He felt the burden of a wife would be too cumbersome at this early stage, and considering Aiden would have to keep the Blue Diamond Society a secret from all family members, it would be hard to do that from his wife. His Grandfather never told his Grandmother about the real operations of the Blue Diamond Society, she was only aware of the cover–up activities. His Grandfather made u

Aiden is dumbfounded. Katherine had trapped him a corner and he didn’t gen understand how she did it. She really is smart and a force to reckon with, he couldn’t believe how she had played him this bad. He was screwed. And there wasn’t much he could do anymore, she had countered all the opportunities he had to deflect. He stared at her, she was smiling smugly now, very complacent in how she had turned things back into her favour. Aiden was going to be hers by all costs and she wasn’t bluffing, his wealth would become hers too. Her long–thought plan was gradually coming into fruition. Aiden doesn’t know what to say to her. In fact, there was nothing he could say to her. She had won, but he wouldn’t surrender— yet. He has to explore all his options, he would seek Steven’s opinion on this first before he says anything. Besides, whenever he says can be used against him by her. She had everything on record. Aiden said nothing, he got up from his chair and walked awa
Riley stared at the paper that fell in front of her. She wasn’t too surprised, she had expected this and knew that there was no way Aiden would forgive them. She knew what she had done to him and how grievous they were, she didn’t deserve his sympathy. But on the other hand, Lady Elizabeth was shattered. She was hoping that it wouldn’t come to this. Marriage was the only link that ensured she would be a part of Aiden’s newly found wealth, even though the link itself was quite shaky, it was sure. She wanted to be a part of Aiden’s new fountain and now it had been destroyed. All her efforts in vein. “But it doesn’t have to be like this. We could still resolve matters.” Lady Elizabeth begged but the fell on deaf ears. Aiden had made up his mind long ago and was waiting on this day for many years, the day that he would humiliate Lady Elizabeth and her daughter. And he was just beginning. “There’s no resolve. I’ve made my decision. You will be hearing from my lawyer soon.” Aiden stood
“Daddy! Daddy! Wake up.” That was what jolted Aiden out of his deep sleep the next morning. His eyes gradually opened and the blurry morning vision cleared and he saw crisply, Hope hovering over him with a broad smile on her face. It was contagious of course and Aiden found himself smiling too, “Good Morning baby.” He greeted her, lifting her and placing her on the other side of the bed and she giggled. “Morning daddy.” She grinned now. Her smiles looked more better now, and it’s not even up to twenty–four hours of their upliftment. Also, something else was different about her smile— and it wasn’t the piece of spinach stuck between her teeth which clearly showed she hadn’t brushed her teeth last night— rather, she had lost a tooth. “Oh? Did you loose a tooth, Hope?” Aiden asked obliviously. Her grin spread, “Yes daddy. I gave it to the tooth fairy.” Aiden fake gasped in awe. “And she’s going to give me a big present tomorrow, just like she always does.’’ Hope excitedly said and a h
