“This is all I have on me, if you need more tell me your account details, I will gladly pay you” he said dropping a few dollar notes on the bed.
Claire stared at the money and chuckled. Aiden stared at her as if that was the first time he will hear someone chuckle.
“Thanks but I am not a sl*t. What happened between us was a drunken mistake. Let’s forget about it and move on with our lives” after saying that she left the room.
” I will never drink again” Aiden mumbled before collapsing on the bed.

“Good morning sister in-law” Lena greeted Sharon with Tia in her arm.
“Morning, how is princess doing this morning?” Sharon ask taking the baby from her.
” She’s good” Lena answered as she crease her hair. ” Good morning brother” Lena turned to Jasper.
“Morning” he replied, “the atmosphere is great, I guess something extraordinary happened yesterday” Lena said as she stretched her arm.
” Huh” Jasper cleared his throat. “What are you talking about? It’s a f*cking Sunday morning let your thoughts be holy for Pete’s sake” he said
” What did I do wrong?” She pouted. “Are we going to eat or what?” Jimmy asked sitting at the dinning table.
“Good morning Jimmy” Sharon greeted. “Morning” he answered.
Sharon noticed his mood, he looked sad or maybe tired, she limp to sit beside him. Yeah limp, she can’t walk properly because of the pain she’s feeling between her her legs.
She asked as soon as she sat beside him and positioned Tia in a sitting manner. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you get enough sleep? Your eyes are swollen” she stated.
” You guessed right. Sleeping was the last thing that happened to me last night” he stated and Sharon stared at him confused.
Lena and Jasper moved closer to them and Lena took a sit and Jasper too. He didn’t stand up oo!.
“What happened? Why didn’t you sleep?” Sharon asked stroking his hair while tis babbled as she hit the table with her little palm.
“Dad I think mom is mad at you!” He said out of the blue, ” your mom?” Lena asked while Jasper stared at him wondering what the f*ck he’s talking about.
“I kept hearing sounds, weird one to be precise” he said with a serious expression.
” What type of sound?” Lena asked, ” something like, “Jasper please… F*ck, ahh”* he mimick and Sharon gulpped down nothing as she held Tia firmly.
Lena couldn’t help but laugh so hard that she had to hold her stomach, she knew he heard Sharon’s moan. She heard it too, she was furious because she could not get any sleep.
She almost went to their room to tell them to stop but she stopped herself. “I heard it too you know” she supported Jimmy.
“You did! I’m telling you dad. Mom is mad at you, I think she will come back soon” he said happily.
Sharon cough as she glared at Jasper. “Do you have a specific time for using those blazing eyes of yours because you are using them again” he said.
” Jimmy don’t worry, such noise won’t be heard again” Sharon assured.
” I wonder how you didn’t hear it” he said looking confused.
” We should just forget about that and have breakfast, what do you say wifey?” Jasper asked and she scoff.
” Let’s eat it’s getting cold” Sharon said dishing the food for Jasper.
“Brother check this out” Lena said showing Jasper an ad of sound proof, “you will need it in the future don’t you agree with me?” She wink and he got what she is trying to say.
“The food is getting cold” Sharon said between gritted teeth.
After breakfast Jasper received a message from his spy on the Winston family.
He hired someone to watch their every move after he released them. He knew they could try something funny so he is keeping a close eye on them.
After reading the message he sent a text message to Alex.
“You want to play smart huh? I am smarter. There is no way I am letting you get out of this” he mumble
” What are you saying?” Sharon who was sitting close to him with sleeping Tia in her arm asked.
“Nothing” he answered swiftly. “Jasper the guy at the reception yesterday” she started.
” What guy? There were lots of guys there” he said. ” The one who came to talk to you” she added.
“Alex?” He asked and she snap her finger, “yes that’s him”
“Don’t tell me you have a crush on him” he teased, “of course not, he looks familiar” she said in deep thought “I just don’t know where” she added.
“I don’t think so” he said and she nodded still not convinced.
“Wanna go into the room?” He asked as he stared at Tia’s sleeping face. “Why would I want to go into the room?” She inquired.
” Just, Tia is asleep, Lena and Jimmy are out, we can just do a quickie before they return” he lick his lower lip seductively.
” No, I am not letting you take advantage of me again” she said.
” Will you stop making it sound like I really took advantage of you, even Jimmy and Lena knows that you enjoyed it” he blunted
” I told you to stop talking like that” she warned.
He smiled and shook his head sideways, he loves it whenever she’s angry. She looks cute with that frown.

At night Ben could be seen in a casino, he was playing with two others guys. This is how he spend his nights now.
In a casino gambling, that was how he got the five hundred thousand. But he is keeping it a secret from his family.
“I won again!” Ben screamed happily as he threw his hands in the air.
“He is good” a guy whispered to a guy.
“He is new” another whispered. “This is the first time I am seeing him” he added.
” Are you serious?” A woman asked. ” Yes” he replied.
” He is too good for a newbie so not everyone believes it when they find out that he’s new” he said
” What’s wrong? Why are you leaving?” He asked as the guys he was playing with stood up.
“Scad cats” he scoffed as he emptied the glass of whiskey in front of him.
“It’s boring playing alone isn’t it?” A familiar voice asked and he raised his head only to see the one and only person hates more than his cousin Sharon or should I say as much as he hate her.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The person who is good at nothing but stealing from him. He always takes everything that belong to him.
“What are you doing here?” Ben asked with a look that can kill.
” Same reason you are here, the last time I check your don’t own this casino. You own a company, wait, it’s no longer yours I bought it from h you are in depth” he mock.
Ben stared at him as the urge to strangle him increased. Jasper already told him what he did to him and the company so he won’t be clueless when he sees him.
” Don’t look at me like that, if someone sees you they will think we are enemies” he said as he took a sit in front of him.
Ben scoff, “it’s not like we are best if friends”
” Yeah, we are not” he supported, ” by the way is this how you plan on raising the ten million?” He asked staring at the game table before them.
“You b@stard, you should pay for the loss. It’s your responsibility since you bought the company. It isn’t my f*cking fault!” He yell as he was tempted to grab his collar but he didn’t because all eyes were already on them.
“Calm down Ben, you still haven’t learnt to control your anger. It is bad for you, you know?” Alex said with a feighn sympathy.
” Don’t talk as if you care!” He snapped. “You are right, I don’t care and I saw two people yesterday. I saw them somewhere I don’t expect them to be” he started as he signal to a guy wearing a tuxedo playing with cards.
“Aren’t you curious who they are?” He asked as the guy distribute cards in front of them.
“No” he answered even though deep down he wants to know.
“Four million” Alex announced as his bet. Ben eyes widened, he has two million if he can win Alex’s four million he would be super happy because he will have to look for just four more million.
And his dad will stop seeing him as a failure, he will finally witness him help their family out of the great depth they are in.
“Let’s do this” Ben mumble below his breath.
