Tonny's men take their guns out and head toward the sound. Tonny's conditions begin to deteriorate and cold sweats break out. The fear of breaking the contract with Valentino was killing him inside. He held his gun and out of his place, he panicky and started going to his car. But on the way, his foot twisted and he fell. He suddenly heard the sound of someone's footsteps, he looked up and found a tall man with broad shoulders, holding a gun.
Tonny: Ai...Aiden....y_you!!
Aiden: Were you missing me? I guess I should come early but honestly, I like to play games!!
Tonny: Aiden...Aiden *cracks a voice* Please...please don't kill me. I will do everything you say...Just don't kill me. I have a family to feed...please
Aiden: Gosh!... It's too late. Dear!!
Tonny: NO!! NONO ... If I stay alive then It will be a benefit to you. I can help Mr.Valentino to import his drugs and also I...I can convince that Japanese to deal with...*gunshot*
(Aiden shot fired from his gun on his forehead)
Aiden left the place.
/flashback/ "So, it was he who sent his spies among us" Valentino proclaimed. Aiden was shocked and looked at his father and asked him "WHAT...What are you saying dad? I CAN'T BELIEVE that jerk was the man of our big enemy... Jason Arbor". Valentino smirked and answered "Aiden, you are new...You are new in this field. It will take time for you to understand these things. Tonny's closest man Lucas....he is my eyes and ears" Aiden's facial expressions changed in astonishment. He said, "If Lucas is your man then you already knew everything about his plan. Didn't you?!?. "The answer to your question is Yes. When Ethan told me, I already knew that. It was Jason's trick! he did it first by fooling us with Tonny making a contract so that all of our wealth would go to him and then canceling the contract so that it will be a great loss to us"
Aiden: But if you... knew that then why did you agree on making the deal??
Valentino: I was younger than you when I entered this field. I have experienced, in these works. When a front player wants to play, then who are we to say no?? (he raised his eyebrows) RIGHT! Now listen to me...
\Flashback end\
Aiden's POV~
But I am not too fond of these dramas...I went from there. I dialed my dad's number on my mobile to inform him that my task is complete...*ringing*
Aiden: Dad! your plan successfully worked and I shot him with my gun on the point.
Valentino: Well Done! you make me proud today son...so, see you at the dinner.
Aiden: Umm DAD! ....kindly accept my apologies for not coming (his dad hung up the call after saying "as you wish")
I was not imagining this thing at all that he would insist me to join the dinner table but should have asked for formality at least one time. Such a selfish person ever. I wish that mom was still alive. After this thought, I called Ethan and tell him to meet me at the Continental Star Club. He responded with an agreed tone "Alright man". POV ended
//Emma's office\\
The office hours were over and some employees including Emma were planning to fill up somewhere. For a long time, those people could not decide where to go. Then Emma finally spoke among them " Hey, ...why don't we go to Continental Star Club, I heard about it, and well its reviews are great". All the people agreed on Emma's decision and when everyone was about to leave, one of them asked Riley why she is not coming along with us. Riley smiled and replied, "No thanks! at my house, a five-year-old girl is waiting for her mother. So you better know why am not coming."
" Hmm okay. Take care, my girl ....bye!!" Emma vocalized.
Everyone waved at Riley and she also did the same, then they left for that place.
/Continental Star Club/
Emma and their colleagues entered the club where Aiden and Ethan were already present, but they were busy with a discussion with each other. Aiden was holding a glass of wine and his face was facing Ethan.
"Aiden, Your father wants you to get married to his brother's daughter Angelina...So!! what do you think about that? Ethan objected. Aiden gave unreadable expressions to him and uttered "Huh, What thing has bitten me that I should throw myself into the well". Ethan raised his eyebrows and asked him "Why, why did you say that? Uh...I mean she is beautiful and secondly, by connecting with them, the power of you guys will increase. Aiden replied
"Remember, It's your road and yours alone, others may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you... marrying her.. early or later, you will find me falling in love with her or else trapped in an unwanted relationship. And in my opinion, love is a disease or you can also call it an obstacle that can become a huge problem while reaching your destination".
Ethan nodded and all of a sudden, his eyes read the two girls dancing far away and looked very happy. He recognized one of them as a girl who insulted Aiden on the way to the stand. Ethan pointed at the girl which was followed by Aiden's gaze and insisted " HEY! don't you think this is the same girl from the footpath!!! Who insults you" he says in confusion.
Aiden continuously looked at her without blinking. He was lost in glaring at her, her beauty was forcing Aiden to look at her or it was something else.
Ethan: Aiden!! the work you have said is still in processing...(Aiden did not seem to be listening)
Ethan: Aiden...AIDEN!! did you hear what I said??? he noticed that Aiden is not paying attenton.
