Chapter 77: Chapter 77 – Do you mind if I do it?

Last night, Aiden found himself back in the club for reasons he couldn’t quite explain when he noticed a gigolo holding a familiar photo.

Intrigued, he approached the gigolo. "Hey, want a drink? It’s on me," he offered, knowing that such workers were easy targets.

As expected, the gigolo agreed at the mention of a free drink. "Sure."

Aiden ordered drinks for both of them, and after a few glasses, he inquired about the gigolo’s business.

"How’s business these days?" Aiden asked.

The gigolo took another sip, grateful for the free drinks.

"With Salvadore’s men lurking around, we have to be cautious. You can’t just accept a deal without thorough investigation, or Salvadore’s men will come after you. I wish I knew who Salvadore really is."

Aiden internally scoffed and downed another glass of liquor. Salvador had done a good job of concealing his identity, but even his own men were starting to question him.

They feared they were taking orders from a faceless entity, and the situation could turn against them.

Returning his focus to the conversation, Aiden asked, "I noticed you were holding a picture. Is it for a new job?"

The gigolo, feeling a false sense of camaraderie due to the drinks, replied, "

Yeah, I’m supposed to pretend to be her lover. The pay was good, so I accepted the offer."

The more Aiden looked at the photo, the more his anger flared towards the perpetrators. "I see. Would you mind if I took over? I can pay double or we can swap."

Despite making an offer, Aiden was determined to secure the woman’s safety by any means necessary, legal or otherwise. She was not only important to his boss but also to a man he considered his best friend.

The gigolo’s excitement doubled at the offer. "I’m in for the cash," he said eagerly.

Aiden smiled, unsure if it was the alcohol or his own cleverness that led the gigolo to make a good choice that might save his life.

"Thanks. Please provide me with all the necessary information. Do they know your name?" Aiden inquired, already considering a disguise in case the gigolo was recognized by the contractor.

"No, it’s an agent I’m dealing with. Use this code. Further instructions will be given at the venue," the gigolo replied, handing Aiden a card.

Aiden accepted it with a smile, grateful that the gigolo was intoxicated, and ordered more drinks for him in the hopes that he wouldn’t remember their encounter.

"Thank you very much," Aiden said.

He promptly contacted the agent for more details and, with the weather indicating an impending storm, he hurried to the mansion before the heavy rain began.

Upon confirming that Mia was the target, he sent a text to Alex as the storm intensified.

’Guess where I am? I’m in Mia’s room,’ he messaged.

Alex, who was enjoying watching Joanna confront Mia, was taken aback by the text. ’Since when did you start liking women?’ he replied, his eyes widening in surprise.

The last time, Aiden had talked about a woman who paid him for sex, and now Mia? Alex was confused.

’I don’t, and even if I wanted a woman, she wouldn’t be my type. She’s trying to set up your wife,’ Aiden revealed. Alex was upset but maintained a calm demeanor throughout the unfolding event.

’Are you sure about what you’re saying? I’m at their house now.’ He sent a text again after thinking things through.

Aiden sent a confirmation via the same text. ’I’m there too.’

Alex smiled a little to subdue his anger before responding through a text message. ’Great, play along. They just dug their grave, but make sure you don’t touch my wife.’

Aiden smiled when he received the text message and instantly replied, ’I’m not a fool, Alex. I will keep you posted.’

After everything, he called Alex as soon as he reached the car park. "They want to send the pictures viral. Do you agree?"

At the end of the line, Alex’s expression grew stormy. ’They should go ahead. I wonder what they will do if they see you walk the aisle as my best man,’ he replied to the text message. Aiden smiled and asked him,

’You want to wait until then to expose them?’

Alex’s reply was rather vague. ’No need to hasten in a revenge program. Patience moves mountains.’

At Alex’s mansion, Joanna arrived to indeed see the wedding planner waiting for her, but Betty walked up to her.

"You have to eat first."

She recalled Violet and said, "Let me call my maid of honor. She’s late."

As she was dialing the number, Jack walked in. "Ma’am, Violet is here."

The two women hugged each other, and after exchanging pleasantries, Joanna was ready for breakfast, inviting the wedding planner and her team.

"Great. We shall all have breakfast together."

The dining table was large enough, but in the middle of breakfast, Alex arrived, and Joanna tensed up a little, forcing a smile.

She went to meet Alex halfway and wheeled him towards the lounge as she spoke in a hushed tone. "Alex, I know you are aware, but you never said anything. And why isn’t your best man here?"

For the wedding itineraries, she was not expecting Alex to be alone and also wished she could see a friend of Alex.

The man was just too mysterious, so perhaps his friend could reveal a few things about Alex. Her response was cut off by hope.

"You were never asked to bring your maid of honor," Alex stated.

Joanna’s lips pursed, lost for words, except recalling the scandal this morning. "What about the pictures? They aren’t what they seem." She was about to give a detailed explanation when Alex cut in.

"I believe you. I can never believe your father and his bitchy wife and daughter over you. Don’t you know that?" He asked seriously.

Joanna’s heart warmed, but there was a lingering darkness in Alex’s eyes she could not put a finger on.

"But they have to pay," she said seriously, stunned by Alex’s response.
