Chapter fourteen

Aidens pov

I feel like I should feel worse.

But I cried into Azaleas lap and that felt like enough.

I loved my mom. Dearly.

But I always found it hard to understand, how she could love such a horrible man.
I don't think I can ever forgive her for letting him treat her like that, and then still saying that she loves him.

She always told me that it's the worlds fault.
The world changed him.
Money changed him.

But as far as I remember he was always a piece of shit.

My last straw was that he just sent mom away.

Once she got too sick he had no interest in her anymore.
Sending her away like she's a worthless pile of trash.
And that's supposed to be love?

If yes then I never wanna experience it.

My thoughts switch to Az.

I know she's very important to me.

But what are we?

I don't think I can think about that now.

My head feels like it's about to explode.

I'm still waiting for Az to exit my half-brothers Café.
I don't know what they're talking about.
But I swear to god, if he even thinks about firing her I'm gonna have a very ugly conversation with him.

I know she needs the job.

She would rather eat trash from the street than accept money from someone.
Especially me.

I'm also following her to about everywhere.
Because I won't take any risks.
Like I said before, better be safe than sorry.

I also wasn't joking when I said I would put nothing behind my father when it comes to money.

Az thinks I'm exaggerating but she doesn't know everything.

He is a murderer after all.

I don't have any proof

That's the problem.

But I'm ninety nine percent sure he killed his own father in law.
My grandfather.

They were both corrupt and psychopaths.

My father couldn't wait for my grandfather to step down, so he killed him and overtook the company.

I would've gotten the company but since I was much too young someone else had to.
And that worked perfectly in my fathers favor.

My grandmother always hated dad, because she was sure he used mom to get the company.
Which in the end he did.

But he didn't get the rest.

Everything else is going to be mine in two months.

Finally Az exits and she walks straight towards me.

"What did he want?" I ask in a careful tone, but ready to beat the shit out of him.

"He just asked if it's okay for me to also take the Sunday morning shift." I wait for her to continue "of course I said yes. That means more money."
I'm sure that's not everything he said, since Az didn't come to work for four days, but if she doesn't wanna tell me yet, then I won't pressure her.

I'm saying yet on purpose, because one day I'm gonna know everything. Every single detail about her.
Every little thought swirling around in her beautiful mind.
