Chapter 17


    Aidan''s POV


    I am dumbfounded at the offer.


    What sort of ridiculous idea is this? I ask inwardly.


    How can shee here to tell me to marry her daughter, who does she think she is?


    Why is everyone picking up the topic of marriage to me these days? I watch her shout furiously.


    She is angry and it shows how sincere she is about everything she has said. I remember the girl. Yes, I


    do and I remember the sex with her.


    It was the sex that changed something in me and brought back my urges. I thought of her for the first


    week after the sex with her but after having sex with another woman from a different club, I forgot about


    her.


    I try to stay calm and handle the situation in a good way. I can decide to go for a DNA test after the


    baby is born to be sure the baby is mine and if it is, I will take responsibility, not because I want to but


    because I feel my mother will be d about it.


    Maybe this will make her stop pressuring me about getting married. I left the mansion yesterday out of


    anger without checking up on her like I promised I would before leaving and she had called me this


    morning. After apologizing and exining what happened, she reminded me of the discussion we had


    yesterday.


    I don''t like having conversations like this in the office. It causes distraction and I hate being distracted. I


    am still trying to get over the conversation with my father yesterday and here I am faced with another


    problem.


    I know my father will be expecting me toe back to him for help but I would never do that. I am


    already looking for ways to win the ward, without his help.

    "What sort of stupid offer is this? You want me to marry your daughter? Are you insane or something?"


    I am beginning to think this is all a trap.


    How can shee up with something as ridiculous as a marriage? I thought she would ask me to open


    a business for her daughter or take responsibility for the baby by sending them money every week or


    every month but here she is telling me to marry her daughter.


    "Think about it, I wille to see you soon", she stands up, pulling me out of my thoughts.


    Without waiting for my response, she walks majestically to the door. Even though I would love to have


    a child so I can use that as an excuse not to get married as my mother wants, I know I need to be


    smart.


    I feel this woman before me has a hidden agenda. Why isn''t she taking the money I am willing to offer?


    I intend to give her some money and get my child from them once it has been confirmed that I am the


    father. But she isn''t epting my offer.


    How does she expect me to ept her offer then? What is she up to? Why is she doing this?


    "Evelyn", I stop her. I am making a mental note of her name and I will send it to my private investigator


    to find enough information about her. I need to know what she is up to and what she does for a living. I


    also want to know if my so-called baby is in safe hands.


    She turns to face me. "Don''t you evere to my office again or you will be arrested." I threaten.


    "Really?" She smirks. "I love your audacity. Get me arrested and find your image getting tarnished the


    next morning."


    "How will you feel when I tell the media you raped my daughter when she was not in her right senses?"


    I am quiet.


    "Aidan, you are not only a famous businessman but also the first in the ranking of the youngest


    billionaires in New York. You know just a little mistake can bring you down and I won''t take it lightly with


    you if you mess with me." She says with venom.


    "All I am doing is protecting my daughter. Be ready to bear the consequences of your actions. And


    think before you make any decision concerning my daughter and her pregnancy." She smiles.


    "Till we meet again, future son-inw", she bows dramatically and chuckles before exiting my office.


    I am dumbstruck at her behavior and speechless. I wonder how a woman can be this confident.


    She was even threatening me, I said inwardly. If my only mother is this courageous, father wouldn''t


    have taken her for a ride.


    I am now more than curious to know who she is. I want to know who I am dealing with. I pick up the


    telephone and put it to my ears. Whatever the result is, whether she is honest or not, I am still going to


    deal with her for having the guts to threaten me in my office.


    "Hello, boss", Tristan greets.


    "I have a job for you", I go straight to the point without mincing words. "I want you to follow the woman


    that just left my office now. She is in a nude dress and her name is Evelyn. She has a daughter named


    Anna. Find out where she lives and what she does for a living."


    Ok, boss." He answers me.


    I will say Tristan is like a private bodyguard. He is always within the vicinity of my home andpany,


    he is always there to protect me whenever there is trouble.


    No one knows of him, except me. I feel Tristan is the one to do a clean job for me, I don''t want to trust


    an outsider who might spill the beans to the media.


    "And one more thing", I inform him. I am thinking fast. I don''t want Evelyn to win this game, she seems


    smart and intelligent but I want to show her who the boss is. I want to be sure this game is a clean and


    safe one before I get rid of her for good.


    "Go to Exclusive club. Find out if there is a camera in the washroom, if there is, tip the securities and


    get the camera out to me." I tell him. Evelyn says she has proof, and I know this is what she means. If I


    get rid of it, she will have nothing to prove to the media that I had something with her daughter.


    "Yes, boss."


    "Bring the camera to me and Evelyn''s information, I need them as soon as possible", Imand.


    "Alright."


    "Get to work", I hang up and heave a sigh of relief.


    "Let''s see who wins", I smirk to myself.

    Evelyn''s POV


    I am confident of my n and I am going to push through with my threat if Aidan doesn''t do what I want


    him to do. I am ready to show him the stuff I am made of.


    I stop a cab when I am outside thepany. I am thinking of other things to do, to make my n more


    effective. As the cabman drives me home, I decide to give Pam a call.


    I don''t want to lose on two sides, besides I need money to keep my home together before the n to


    get Aidan to marry my daughter will work. I know once Anna is married to him, I will have no cause to


    cry over my financial status. I am sure of that.


    Maybe I should start work now and resign once Anna is married off to the idiot, I thought to myself.


    I pick up my phone and dial Pam''s number.


    "Hello, Pam."


    "Hi."


    "Are you still home?" I ask her. I want her to tell her father that I am ready to start work.


    "Yes, but I am about to go to school now", Pam replies softly.


    "I want you to help me ask your dad when I can start work", I tell her.


    I am now enthusiastic about starting work as a cook in her father''s mansion. I know if I don''t grab the


    opportunity now and I lose the game with Aidan, the job in her father''s mansion must have been taken


    by someone else.


    "Alright, I will go and ask him now." She mutters.


    "Wait", I stop her from hanging up. "I need one more piece of information from you."


    "Ok, what''s that?" She asks me.


    "Help me find out where Aidan Alvarez lives and his parent''s home residence, I have a little surprise for


    them", I announce to her hearing, with a smile. I am proud of how fast I am thinking and working on my


    ns.


    Pam is quiet. "Ok." She finally says.


    "Good. See you tomorrow." I drop the call and rest my back morefortably on the seat, with a proud


    smile on my face.
