Chapter 21: You have to marry me

“She’s doing her residency I believe? And also in a privately owned hospital. Won’t her work integrity be affected by all this, hmm?” Aiden was playing them like a puppet, he held the strings and he would make them dance to his tune.

Aiden kept quiet and let the father and daughter to think over his words.

“Or I could just forget everything-”, Aiden stopped and stared at Amara, “if you agree to my terms.”

“What terms?” Amara questioned. She had a sinking feeling in her heart.

Aiden looked in her eyes and darted his tongue out to wet his dry lips. The quick smooth action was caught by Amara. She suddenly felt her throat dry.

“You have to marry me.” Aiden stated.

Samuel stood up angrily, “How dare you?”

Aiden stood up as well and stared down at Samuel without any emotion in his eyes.

“How dare I?” Aiden shook his head and scoffed. “How dare you? You stole from me and when I’m offering you an escape route to save yourself you are being arrogant?”
