《Finally》Chapter 15
Advertisement
I furiously wipe my tears. I look everywhere, trying not to look into Aiden hard gray eyes.
"I just got scared. I get frightened easily." I explain.
"Really and your reaction is to flinch and cry?" His voice hard. Fury hides behind his gray eyes.
The sound of Amelia clapping captures our attention. I look at Aiden's face clearly saying later.
Lord.
I nod. Thinking of a way to make him forget.
"Well, now that we are done get your things we're going to our house." Aiden gets ups and takes Amelia. I gather our things and head out the door after. We leave my small former home to go live in a mansion.
The ride to Aiden's house is long and quiet. Amelia giggling in the back seat Aiden bought her. I have no idea when. We stop at the gates of the mansion. I stay quiet not really knowing what to do.
Aiden stops the car and we get out.
"Lisa, I have some work to do. I'll be in my office. And if you need anything just feel at home, okay?" Aiden tells me as soon as we enter his house.
I simply nod. Soon he leans close to us. I stand still, holding Amelia tightly to my chest. I control my breathing.
Come on Lisa, you have practiced many times. Act natural.
He simply kisses Amelia's forehead.
He then looks at me eyeballing me weirdly. Like if trying to figure me out.
You won't. A voice whisper in my head. No one can know about my past.
He turns and locks himself in his office.
Okay. You're okay.
"Well, let's go to our room." I talk to Amelia.
I open our room door, I stay standing for who knows how long. Staring, at the room.
Why does Aiden want us to live here?
I lay Amelia on the bed. I stop and think. Who knows why he wants us here but if we stay I will need to get a crib for Amelia.
Why, why. The question runs in my head. Wondering, why he would ever want us to be here. Together.
For whatever the reason is I need to find out. Make sure no harm comes our way. I can't risk anything. Every move I make not only will affect me and my mom but also the baby. I can't risk it.

I don't know what to do. I'm so lost and confused.
I will protect you. I vow to Amelia.
"Okay, sweetheart. If you're going to stay with me you'll need a bed. So let's go and tell Aiden." I take Amelia and we head to Aiden's office. Right we get there we heard voices. I thought he didn't have any employees. Curiosity gets the best of me. I walk slowly and quietly stand behind the door. Discreetly I peek over the door. Aiden stands stiff behind his desk. A man oddly familiar stands in front of him. His back towards me.
"So you found someone, really? How long has this been going now then?" The man asks sounding skeptical.
Mr. Knight Sr.
"Yes, is it that hard to believe? You told me to do so now I did. Happy? I was simply waiting for the right time." Aiden answers through clenched teeth.
"Extremely, please."
"Great, now that you have gotten what you wanted you can leave." The man suddenly turns. Aiden's does not sound happy.
Suddenly Mr. Knight walk towards the door.I quickly hide. I cover Amelia's mouth with my hand. I'm panting.
"But I want to meet my future daughter in law." Mr. Knight says.
I furrow my brows there is absolutely no way Aiden is engage. Still I keep those thoughts to myself. Things are slowly coming together.
"Another day perhaps."
"Where is she at least. How about a name?" Mr. Knight insists.
"She is here, but busy. As for the name until the wedding. Next month just like you want." Aiden sound furious.In all the time I have come work here I have never seen Aiden interact with his dad. I would email or call Mr. Knight and tell him about Aiden's activities.
When Mr. Knight seemed to think Aiden need someone like ne in his life. Why I'm not sure. Yet, Mr. Knight very insistent to get close to Aiden.
"It's just, son your not getting any younger and nor is your mother and me. It's for the best. Beside your mother will be over the moon with this." With the mention of his mother, Aiden face soften.
"I know and soon you will meet her."
"Okay, it's settled. The minute you get married you will have sole responsibility to everything. President of the company. However, I have a question. Does your fiance know why your getting married?"

Bingo.
I don't want to assume but from the way things have been rushed and the need to be here. I may have just become a puppet to Aiden.
Hell no.
I start to think of the quickest way out of here but just as I am Mr. Knight runs into me.
"Oh, Lisa. What are you doing here? How are you? Been some time. Who have you been?" Mr. Knight is bombing me with questions. I hold a very happy, giggling Amelia. He looks lost.
"Great. How about you, sir?"
"Great. If I may ask who is this?" He looks at Amelia with sudden interest. Aiden answers rather quickly. His panic is masked but I look at his curt answers and body movements.
"Amelia." His answers is curt.
I narrow my eyes at him. I caught you.
Mr.Knight simply nods but looks like he wants to ask more. But he thinks he better not.
"Have a good day." Mr. Knight leaves us.
Trying to process at what I just found out, I stand frozen. Aiden will need to start explaining. Now.
"Lisa, did you need anything?" Aiden's voice cuts through my thoughts.
"Yes, I need a crib for Amelia, and food. Among other things. Also I just want to say congratulation." The smile I give him is anything but sincere.
"Okay, so I may not have seen completely honest with you."
"Really?" I cut him short.
We both enter his office. I take a seat in front of the big wooden desk. He paces.
" I knew all along what you were doing." He starts. I am a bit confuse but listen to him. " The emails and calls you were giving my dad on me." He turns towards me. I say nothing and admit nothing.
" I will admit I was not happy at first, but I let it slide since you were good at your job and didn't cause me much problems. The real issue came when my dad gave me an ultimatum. Either lose my position in the company or settle down and have a family. The choice wasn't really difficult to pick. However, when I first heard it, it send my blood boiling on how my father knew of what I was doing in my free time when I was keeping low and the only person how would know would be...you. I thought we were friends. I considered you one. So I figured if i was going to be dragging into this might as well bring the person who put me in this place in the beginning with me." He finished and I was about to murder him if I didn't have Amelia in my arms.
"So all of this. Amelia and me here have to do with helping you secure the position at the company. The reason you took a child out of their family. Left me without employment was so that you could bring me to secure the millions in your bank. For your own selfish reason." The anger now in me was boiling.
"When did this all come to become your plan." I demand from Aiden.
He sits behind his desk, but instead of shrinking him it makes him seem more powerful. " A few months ago. I was trying the best way to ease you in this, but the incident cause you to leave without my knowledge."
"Ease me?" I point towards me. I really wanted to smack sense into Aiden.
"Look it's a win-win situation. You help me and I help you. I remain with my position in the company and you can have Amelia and I will provide for both. You will never be in need. I promise." Aiden looks me in the eyes to affirm his claim.
However, I am past trying to understand. Standing I bring Amelia towards my chest covering one ear with my chest and the other with my hand.
"Fuck you Aiden."
