C6 Chapter

FINALLY, THE day has come according to Aiden's letter for Samantha.

While on the plane, Aiden, a 32-year-old man, could not help but be nervous. Although it is not obvious from his appearance that he is uneasy. The man is handsome. His eyes were deep and eloquent. It looks serious but when he smiles it emphasizes how good-looking he is. His hair is clean-cut but not like it used to be like a 1950's haircut. His hair is in fashion. He looks very manly in a mustache and beard, but he thinks clean shaved is more appropriate for him. His dark chocolate brown hair is thick, wavy -- they called. Add to that, is his gentle face and how neat he is in his get-up, Aiden looks so decent and smells good.

And even as he sat, Aiden was obviously tall. 6’2 perhaps. His “physically fit” is a sign of his regular gym workout. His attire was still formal although it was not overdressed because he did not use a coat. He was wearing only simple white long sleeves and khaki pants and tucked it in.

Even the stewardesses on the plane were very friendly to the handsome passenger. Any woman maybe can not ignore his appeal.

Despite his neatly dressed and confidence, he cannot prevent nervousness. He does not know what awaits tomorrow in his married life. He was very eager to see his wife. Samantha. It was also a long time since they last met and it seems that she has no plans to meet with him again.

Samantha will surely be surprised when she sees the big change in him. He is no longer the former Aiden who looks like a robot and has no emotions. He is no longer old-fashioned. He is able to socialize, dress in trendy clothes, and have fun now. He could not help but think of his wife. How about her? Most likely, she is still the former Samantha. Quiet, emotionless, old-fashioned, and very modest.

During the four years of living without his mother's eyes, Aiden found his own identity. A self-identity separate from the person created by Geneva Anderson.

He is now the image of a man who is completely self-confident and self-sufficient. There are new principles and rules in his life.

Everything was not easy for him at first. While he was a trainee in the changed position of the bereaved Geneva, left and right was assigned his responsibilities, both in the office and even in the mansion. Everything depends on him because his wife Samantha is not there.

And with that experience, Aiden learned many things. New knowledge and insights into things.

Contrary to the selfish principles that Geneva instilled in them, the man's new stance is now towards global development.

Aiden's vision today is to use the specialized course towards development projects that will benefit not only their single-family but the vast majority of the people under their jurisdiction and employees.

And just now Aiden didn't know how to explain that to Samantha. To his wife. He has the feeling that she is still the former Samantha, who was shaped by their mother. And if so, he should let her know that he has changed and he will also help her to lose what their mother taught them.

However, Aiden accepts the full circumstances of his marriage to Samantha. Although he was angry with his mother and himself because they were submissive then, it was not bad. He knew Samantha was a good and decent woman. Far away from modern women and just for bed.

The only thing he hated was his mother's idea that she had to force them to marry each other to be bred in order to conceive an heir who would inherit the enormous wealth of the Anderson family.

Aiden also could not accept to be part of the plan to maintain the monopoly of the same family on the extravagant wealth that should have helped the development of the majority. Even until their deaths, they will not be able to consume the wealth of the Anderson.

He did not think of distributing the entire wealth of the Anderson. He still believes in private property. He thinks that he should not be greedy and selfish in handling that fund. The Anderson people will still be rich even if they contribute a lot to projects that will help the majority.

Aiden has so many ideas running in his mind. There is so much that needs to be done to help employees and even the poor. But he can't do anything until they can talk to Samantha. He still needs her permission because she is his wife and she is really the real heir of the Anderson.

But when asked if he wanted to annul his marriage to Samantha, he did not want them to be separated. For four years he had planted in his mind that he had a wife, he is a married man, so he had never looked or been attracted to another woman. His outlook may have been modern, but he was married and did not want to betray Samantha. She doesn’t deserve that.

He wants to use part of the money to build a foundation that will implement various educational and economic projects that are also in line with government projects for the poor. He also wants to build a home for the age. That way, the majority can benefit from the wealth that is too much for just one family.

That is why he should talk to his wife in-depth and make her understand what he wants.

Samantha's face revived in his mind. How was her life in London? He bet that it is boring. What he remembers was a Samantha that is an old-fashioned woman, with thick sunglasses, a nerd, very simple, and a bare face. A woman with no decision of her own and seems to be just submissive to their mother.

And when Aiden thinks about it, he also remembers himself at the time. He also hates what he used to be back then. Because he did nothing for a long time to disobey Geneva's wishes.

He is sure that when Samantha returns to the Philippines, she will definitely feel discomfort with the new layout of the mansion. Why not, he changed so much there. Their house is very modern now and he thinks he has been successful on that matter.

He also thinks that at this age and he is married, maybe it is now the right time for him to have an heir. Not because of the provision of their mother Geneva. Because that is what he wants and he is not getting any younger. And he’s sure Samantha won’t refuse because they are really legally married.

Everyone is ready for his wife to return to the Philippines. The company is doing great and more stable now, the mansion is much beautiful and people there are not like before who looks like a key doll. Samantha would have no reason to refuse the new life he will offer her.

Aiden made sure that there would be no obstacle to his and Samantha's bright future. And no matter what else she does excuse, the extra two years he gave is too much for her to enjoy being single and do unmarried things.

Aiden is no longer grateful for the adoption of his deceased mother. He already understood that Geneva's adoption of him was not a trace of kindness. Instead, he has even been exploited since he was an unconscious child.

What else can be called the forced formation of his mind, feelings, and personality towards Geneva's selfish purpose?

And his release was just an accident of destiny. Geneva died unexpectedly. If not, maybe until now, he and Samantha are married like a key doll.

So it may not be superfluous if he wants to have a child. He only demands justice in return for the use of Anderson’s couple in his well-being.

And now that the plane is arriving in London and there he is, to pick up his wife who has no intention of going back home and seems completely forgets her responsibility as the heir of the Anderson and being his wife, he still can't help but be nervous.

He asks himself, how will Samantha react to all the changes? And how about him, how will he feel?

Aiden did not realize that he was sweating and his mind was running away. When the plane landed in a foreign place and was unfamiliar to him, he was again surrounded by a strange fear. What will be the result of their first encounter again?

He looked again at the address written on his cellphone. Those are the addresses where his wife lives and where she works. That can't be hidden from his knowledge because she has a connection with Atty. Suarez and funny, he asked that thing from their lawyer, even though he was the husband. It is obvious that the two of them are not really talking for this past few years.
