~Aiden~
....
Aiden woke up feeling drowsy, as if he had too much to drink. He looked around, trying to remember where he was, and saw that he was in a hotel room. He lifted the sheets and saw that he was naked, and that there was blood on the sheets next to him.
"What happened?" Aiden muttered to himself, trying to piece together the events of the previous night. He got flashes of memories, but they were hazy and unclear. He remembered meeting someone and having s*x together, but he couldn't recall her face. All he remembered were her eyes - green with a hint of gold in the dark.
Aiden stumbled out of bed, looking for the mysterious woman. But she was nowhere to be found. He saw his phone ringing and picked it up, answering the call from his best friend, Ryan.
"Aiden, where have you been?" Ryan asked, sounding urgent. "Stephanie is causing trouble, saying that you're involved in some scandal. There are reporters at the hotel, and security is trying to hold them back they said the got some tip of Aiden Blackwood in there with a woman."
Aiden quickly got dressed he knew his grandfather would be pissed at him if this hit out in the Internet when the company was spit up in two faction I had to be the perfect heir, despite this his mind kept racing with thoughts of the mysterious woman and the scandal that was unfolding. He told Ryan that he was on the third floor and would meet him at the back door.
As Aiden made his way down the stairs, he saw reporters swarming the lobby. He quickly pushed through the exit door and met Ryan at the back of the hotel.
Ryan was waiting for him in a black Ferrari, wearing a casual outfit and sandals. "Bro, where were you?" Ryan asked, as Aiden got into the car.
Aiden didn't answer, still trying to process the events of the previous night. Ryan drove quickly, trying to get them away from the reporters before they saw Aiden.
As they drove, Ryan asked Aiden what had happened. Aiden told him that he had s*x with someone, but couldn't remember her face. All he remembered were her eyes.
"I don't know man everything is a blur when I try to remember it like I was on something."
Ryan looked at him curiously. "Aiden that gives a whole new definition to after s*x bliss and I think you were spiked with Aphrodisiac I had my secretary Emily investigate the substance that was found in one of your drinks but we also booked you a doctor's appointment in case,And I am surprised Aid you showed interest in this mysterious woman you just met last night, you haven't shown much emotion in years. What's going on?"
Aiden turned to him, his eyes determined. "I'm going to find out who that woman was. I don't like mysteries."
Ryan raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. He knew that when Aiden set his mind on something, he wouldn't rest until he had found what he was looking for.
As they drove, Ryan asked Aiden what had happened before his mind gets fuzzy.
"I don't know, man I felt hot and decided to go to the bathroom but she was there," Aiden said, shaking his head. "I remember feeling her, but everything else is a blur."
Ryan raised an eyebrow. "You don't remember anything else? Not even her name?"
Aiden shook his head. "No, I told you once again. Just her eyes it had this pulling force like a green forest with sunlight sipping at dawn, damn her eyes were pretty."
Ryan nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I knew you'd be hooked. You've always had a thing for puzzles and now a thing for eyes."
Aiden shot him a look. "This isn't a puzzle and I don't have a thing for eyes, Ryan. This is a woman. A woman who...who..." Aiden trailed off, unsure of how to finish the sentence.
Ryan filled in the gap. "A woman who got under your skin?"
Aiden nodded, feeling a pang of frustration. "Yes. Exactly."
Ryan chuckled. "Well, I'm glad to see you're human again now that you got under someone, Aiden."
Aiden rolled his eyes. "Shut up, Ryan."
As they drove, Ryan filled Aiden in on the details of the scandal. Stephanie, Aiden's stepmother, was trying to ruin his reputation by spreading rumors about him being in a hotel with someone to make the grandfather reprimand him immensely.
"But don't worry, bro," Ryan said, grinning. "We've got it under control. Nick went out and I sent some of the pics of him so the media could be off your back."
Aiden raised an eyebrow. "I am sure Stephanie was pissed."
Ryan chuckled. "Yeah she was all red despite her new face lift, well, it seems Nick had a bit of a wild night himself. And now, he's the one making headlines." As he sees pictures of Nick Blackwood on the Internet.
Aiden shook his head, laughing. "Only Nick."
Ryan grinned. "Yeah, only Nick."
Aiden laughs and says " I wish they got Stephanie's face too but thanks Ryan."
Ryan replies "anytime bro."
As they approached Aiden's house, Ryan turned serious. "Aiden, I know you're determined to find out who that woman was. But be careful, okay? You don't know what you're getting yourself into she could be sent by Stephanie and we want this to lay low until you are named the head no scandals."
Aiden nodded, feeling a sense of resolve. "I'll be fine, Ryan. I just need to find out who she is and if she is sent by Stephanie I would make her pay for what she did."
Ryan nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I'll help you, bro. We'll find her together we need to know who is a foe and a friend."
Aiden grinned, feeling a sense of gratitude towards his friend. "Thanks, Ryan. I owe you one."
Ryan chuckled. "You owe me several, bro. But don't worry, I'll collect later."
As Aiden got out of the car, Ryan called out to him. "Hey, Aiden?"
Aiden turned back, looking at Ryan. "Yeah?"
Ryan grinned. "Be careful what you wish for, bro."
Aiden raised an eyebrow "what do you mean".
Ryan says "just saying."
Aiden replies "yeah funny dude but ...."
Just then Ryan just chuckles and drove off, leaving Aiden to wonder what he had meant.
