The flight was going smoothly, Aidan was busy with his laptop throughout the entire flight, before they boarded, he'd assured Chyna that everything would be well and she'd tried to take everything in good faith, things will go well with the deal, things would go well with her. She would do everything great, give it her best and things would be okay. She'll treat this like every business deal she'd been involved in, she always gives it her best shot. She relaxed her head on her seat, trying to recall sweet memories of success but every time she closed her eyes, all she sees and hear are her parents bitterness and cruelty towards her most of the little time she stayed with them, she flung her eyes opened, grabbed her pad and began to scroll through the whole contract again. She's done that now for countless times and she doesn't seem to get tired of it. She began to go through everything again, that's the only thing she can do, Aidan doesn't like any form of disturbance once he's eng

The ride to the conference room was a quiet one, Aidan's clenched fists and blank face was enough to pass the message across. A message that no one would Rusk read, his mind was occupied with different thoughts, he wants to kill those men but that can wait... He'll kill them later. Killing can always wait. The elevator stopped and they both stepped out, "Are you alright?" Chyna asked, trying hard to keep her voice balanced.Her heartbeat isn't normal any more, it hasn't been normal ever since they started this journey and after the incident a few minutes ago, her whole being is in pure anxiety that she can't explain or rid off."Do I look sick to you?" He asked without giving her a glance and she got the message immediately, he's angry with her. "Not really, you just look so uhmm... So angry." She voiced out and a dark chuckle escaped his mouth."Oh really? Now tell me, why the fuck didn't you defend yourself?" He asked, turning to face her fully, his eyes giving her dark stares tha

A low chuckle escaped Aidan's mouth, "Nice points. You win, take her." He muttered and Chyna's heart breaks. A wide victorious grin spread across Jerome's face. He'd heard about Ares Karanos, how he's feared by many but he'd just encountered him and he must admit it, he falls so easily. He never expected him to accept his condition so fast, he was expecting something more fun and dangerous but it seems the man's infamous reputation was just exaggerated. Aidan's eyes went towards Chyna and a smile carved in his face when he saw how brave she is, she might be confused but she's not showing any fear and he's proud of that. "If you take her..." He began, his back relaxing on his chair."You'll be destroyed." He ended, his smile broadened when he saw the grin on Jerome's face disappear only to be replaced with confusion.He's loving this game but he can't play it for long, he has a tight schedule. He'd deal with this motherfucker and handle other important things. "You speak in riddles

She looked Aidan straight in the eyes, "My blood group is different because I'm not their biological daughter. The Pedros ain't my family." She admitted without breaking eye contact with him. Cora let out a low gasp, her hands flinging to her opened mouth, she didn't see that coming or did she? Aidan let out a low dark chuckle, his eyes lowered in amusement, he already knew that she wasn't Pedro's biological daughter but why was he still shocked? Perhaps shocked wasn't the right word to describe how he was feeling so he summed it up to being disappointed. Yeah... He's disappointed. As much as he doesn't want to judge or see things in the wrong way, he's still disappointed. Perhaps, she never trusted him enough to disclose such sensitive information to him. He's human and despite trying to see things from her perspective, he still felt hurt, no matter how little the hurt was, it was still there and would still linger in his mind for as long as it can. "Were you adopted?"Cora asked

Aidan relaxed on his bed, his eyes closed but despite his relaxed posture, his inside was in chaos, different thoughts were streaming down his mind and anger was the only thing that came to his rescue. He'd lost every ounce of feelings that he had for Arissa when he caught her cheating on him, vomiting all sorts of trash from her mouth.The family he'd always considered as his own turned out to be his worst enemy. A little smirk carved across his mouth as different devilish thoughts of how he'll make them pay for all the wrongs they've done to him cross his mind. There are many ways but to him, they're too little, less evil and less deadly. He cussed inwardly and sat up, what's the best way to make them pay? He wants to attack them in a way that they'll not know what hit them, he wants to do something that would shake their very foundation and pull them down with no hope of redemption. He wants his revenge to be in such a way that the family would realize what they've done to him,
