I had initially thought that Aiden was taking me home until he misses a turn. I don't know what is going through his mind right now or what he plans to do to me. But I plan on knowing."Where are you taking me Aiden?" He doesn't say anything but his jaws clench and the car accelerates. "Where are you taking me Aiden Kings?" I ask again with more confidence. Aiden doesn't answer once again. "Stop the car right now." I order my voice still confident but my hands are slightly shaking. The man has a gun and I don't know what he could do to me.Aiden turns to another unfamiliar road ignoring me and the only thought that runs through my mind is that I have to save myself. The man is in the Mafia! I don't know what awaits me when we go to wherever he's taking me. He just ordered some people to be killed and maybe I'm now one of them. I try opening the door discretely but Aiden stops the car causing a screeching sound. Thank God I had the seat belt on."
"What do you mean you're now dating?" Troy asks surprised. "I mean that we can't do the special edition as planned. How about we say that I tamed him? The player is tamed by the woman who swore never to date again." I say swaying my hand as I look dreamily at the headlines that might cause an uproar and Troy scoffs."What are you trying Alex? We only follow people and discover cheaters this is a no no." He says his dark eyes looking at me bewildered. I let out a breath as if disappointed."I know. But now that we're dating people are expecting some juicy stuff. Maybe they'll let this slide?" I ask now sounding unsure since the whole thing sounds ridiculous. I look at Troy who seems to think about it."Can't you just tell him to play along the script as initially planned?" "I thought about that but how will that look? I give him a heart break and then a day later we are seen together holding hands?" Troy nods his head taking in the pictu
I had planned on leaving before Aiden's driver would be here and so I woke up early. Good thing is that I don't have anything to pack so leaving won't be a problem. I do my morning routine as fast as I can. I took most of my clothes to the apartment but I left half my casual ones here. Today is Saturday so a white cropped hoodie and black sweatpants will have to do. I take out my white sneakers but when I'm halfway done, I hear a knock.My mother comes in with a smile which falters slightly. "Are you leaving dear?""Yes mum. Dinner was great.""But it's seven!" Mum exclaims dramatically. She knows how much I love my beauty sleep during the weekend. "I better hurry up then." She says with a sigh and I smile at her."How's the book coming?" I ask and she lets out a long sigh."Lydia wants it in a month but I have this major block with your dad having a migraine, your grandfather refusing treatment and Naomi's miscar..." She trails
"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."How
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
