Chapter 21 Get me a coffee
Trenton NJ stepped down from the airplane as he breathed in the fresh air.
Oh! How he misses America.
He’s been away to a business trip for almost a month and now he was back.
He entered the car that was already waiting for him at the airport while the driver carried his luggage to the car before the driver drove away.
He rested his head on his seat and closed his eyes as they drove home.
His phone rang, making him open his eyes. He brought it out and accepted the call.
“What is it?” He asked with a baritone.
“Hey! Thank goodness you’re back. I can’t wait for you to come take up the office activities again.” The voice boomed from the phone and Trenton scoffed.
“I’m just coming back from Italy so you continue taking care of the office till I resume duties.” He disconnected the call without waiting to hear what the person wanted to say.
He got out of the car when they got to his house and entered the house.
“Welcome back Master.” All the maids in the sitting room chorused.
He didn’t reply nor wave at them but went to his room upstairs.
A maid entered with him and dropped his luggage beside his closet.
“Come back later and do it.” He said when he saw she was about arranging the things in the bag.
She bowed and left.
Trenton pulled off his clothes including his shoes as he left only his underwear.
He went into the bathroom and came out few minutes later with a towel tied on his waist.
He walked to his closet and picked out a shirt and a short.
He wore them and threw the towel to the dirty clothes basket.
He left the room and went to dinning room where his food was already served.
One of the maids standing behind him opened the food and he began to eat.
He took his phone and unlocked it after taking few spoons of his food.
He breathed out as he logged into social media. It has been long he went to social media.
All through his stay in Italy, he didn’t go online. It was either he was working on his laptops, scrolling on his business emails as he replies to them or was attending business meetings.
He started scrolling on it and something caught his attention, making him stop scrolling.
It was an article stating Aiden’s marriage to a lady and under it was some pictures attached to it.
He scoffed as he clicked on the pictures and widened his eyes after seeing the lady beside Aiden.
He made it more bold on his phone to see if it was truly her and his mouth opened slightly in shock after confirming it was her.
The face, the smile, the eyes, everything made him believe it was truly her

Rebecca sat on the chair in the living room as she tapped her leg impatiently on the floor.
Her husband was coming back home today and she was waiting for him to arrive.
“Mom, are you sure you don’t want to eat now?” Emma voiced out from the dinning table.
“I don’t.” Rebecca replied and looked at the clock.
Shouldn’t he be back home by now?
He said he was going to be back in less than an hour but it was more than an hour now.
“But you can also eat and wait for him?” Emma said again and her mother turned to her with a stern face.
“Would you leave me alone? I said I’m not eating so stop forcing me.” Rebecca said and hissed.
“I was only trying to care.” Emma mumbled but her mom heard her anyways.
“And I don’t need it.”
The doorbell rang and Rebecca diverted her attention to it.
“Go and check who is at the door.” She said to her daughter, hoping it was her husband.
Emma did as instructed and came back with her father.
“Welcome home darling.” Rebecca said sweetly and hugged her husband.
“Thank you.” Mr Scott sat down in the chair with his wife. Emma collected his bag and took it to her parents’ room.
“What made you late? I’ve been waiting for you since the time you called to tell me you were already on your way.” Rebecca said as she rested on his arm.
“I’m really sorry. It was the traffic.”
“It’s alright. I wasn’t angry in the first place.”
“Why were you waiting for me though? You know I was still going to come back even if it was late. ”
“What are you trying to say? That I can’t wait for my husband any more.” Rebecca took her head from her husband’s hand and stared at him.
“No, that wasn’t what I said.” Mr Scott defended and took a deep breath when she rested back on his arm.
“Anyways, I just want us to talk.”
“What is it about?”
“It is about your daughter, Tihana”
Mr Scott’s expression changed immediately to a frown but Rebecca didn’t notice it.
“I’ve told you before and I won’t be saying it again, that lady is no longer my family and no one in this house should consider her as one.”
Rebecca raised her head up and looked at her husband.
She smiled within herself when she saw the frown on her husband’s face.
She was beginning to like this new version of him who hated to hear even the name of that bastard but she wasn’t going to agree with him for now because of her plan.
“She is still your daughter as long as you brought her up with your own hands.” Rebecca feigned a groan.
“And I disowned her.”
“I know but still listen to what I have to say about her.”
“Go on.”
Rebecca smiles and fake a sigh.
“Ever since we threw her out of this house, she has become more wayward than we thought. ”
“Of course, just like her mother.” Mr Scott chipped in and Rebecca smirked but just for seconds to avoid being noticed.
This was really happening. She has always wished for this day where her husband would see Tihana with the eyes he sees her mother with.
She comported herself once again and placed her hand over his head.
“She has become so wayward that she now sleeps around with rich men. Can you imagine?”
“Why do you say so by the way?” A part that still cared for Tihana in Mr Scott asked.
Even if he has often guessed Tihana might soon turn to the ways of her mother, a part of him also disagrees with him because Tihana wasn’t like that during the time she stayed with him so this came as a bit shock to him.
“We saw her on television with a strange man and they were married. With the way we saw things, it was a forced marriage because they don’t look happy with each other. I guess your daughter might have probably pinned a pregnancy on the innocent man.” Rebecca narrated.
“Fine. What’s my own with it?” Mr Scott asked and Rebecca was taken aback.
“I don’t understand.” Rebecca picked her words.
“What is my business with it? She can get pregnant as much as she can, I don’t care. We don’t share a relationship anymore.”
“But she still……..”
“She still what?” Mr Scott yelled as he stood up and his wife adjusted uncomfortably on the chair.
“She doesn’t have my blood running through her veins so we aren’t related. She can do anything she pleases with her life, I don’t care.” Mr Scott said again with anger written on his face.
Rebecca sat down dumbfounded as her husband stomped out of the sitting room.
She breathed out the air she never knew was holding.
What just happened?
Did her husband just shout on her because of the bastard?
Her husband was angry and no longer cares about Tihana so how was her plan going to work?
She wanted her husband to forcefully bring Tihana home and make her marriage with the billionaire scatter but with the way things were going, it wouldn’t work.
But she won’t give up yet.
She wasn’t going to let her have a peaceful marriage whereas her daughter hasn’t even found a suitor yet.

“This project is worth more than billiions and I can boldly tell you that it would be one of the best project to invest on.” Tihana said in a bright smile and all the investors clapped.
“That’s nice.” One of the investors commented and Tihana bowed.
She went back to her seat.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“You all have heard what she said.”
“Yes and we would gladly invest in this. The returns seems quite interesting for the ear.” Another person said and they all nodded.
“This meeting is over.”
Aiden stood up and left the hall with Tihana.
“Congratulations Mr and Mrs Turner on your union.” A man Tihana had earlier seen in the conference room said as he walked to them.
“Thank you Mr Fred.” Aiden said and accepted the handshake he offered.
“Okay, I’ll be on my way now.” Mr Fred said and left
Wayne came to them and Tihana left to her office.
“Get me a coffee.”
“Okay.” Wayne left.
Aiden resumed his walk to his office and when he opened his office, he widened his eyes in shock.
What the heck!!!
