"The return of Christian Aiden Revenmar... everywhere, it is about Christian! Christian!! Christian!!!" The man spoke frustratingly flinging the newspaper in his hands away. He was seated in his luxurious office with a young guy adjacent to him."You! What the hell have you been doing all this while? Someone of your age should be able to act on his own, shouldn't he? How could you not know that the rumors were true.""Father, I remember wanting to investigate this and you told me not to bother myself because it is just a baseless rumor, you said 'There's no way that guy would be alive' and told me to just focus on acquiring the company's shares, as much as I can and impressing the chairman that I can do better.""Ahem, I did say that..." The man cleared his throat and looked away for a moment. "Even though! You could have decided to work on your suspicions, when will you grow up if you always have to take orders from me to do something? And even getting Harris to acknowledge you, how
Athena squeezed her face together as much as she could. It was evident that she was trying her best to hold out the tears in her eyes.Anyone could tell how hard she was trying – that effrontery itself took her from looking like that mean bitch to looking like a very cute and angry kid."Hey, babe... everything will be alright. Instead of crying. Now, we know that he is back and we can ask him all the questions we need to."She sucked in a great deal of air and exhaled slowly. Wiping those lingering tears off her face."Yes. He is back and now I will ask him those questions." Athena stated lowering her brows."Please Athy, don't kill him. His the top most handsome, and richest young heir. If you kill I'm sure all the single women association of the nation and maybe the world will see to it that you serve eternity in jail."Even though she is blatantly warning her, Athena paid no attention and just focused on taking her coffee."Damn, I wish he at least left you with a baby boy... that
As Aaron casually stepped outside, he could see the city bustling and alive with the energy of the holiday season. The streets were adorned with twinkling lights, and the shops' windows displayed festive decorations and merchandise. Crowds of people bustled along the sidewalks, many with shopping bags and packages in hand as they went about their holiday errands.As the end of the year approached, the atmosphere in the city was one of anticipation and excitement.Aaron inhaled deeply."Hmm... I've missed this..." He had defined forgotten how Christmas used to feel at home. But it wasn't like celebrating Christmas in Birmingham wasn't fun either.There's just a special feel that being at home adds to it. Especially when he has been away for so long. The Revenmar company was no exception from this atmosphere, as the highly anticipated end-of-year award ceremony drew near. This year's event was expected to be even grander than usual, as the heir to the conglomerate company had recently
"Oh right, I see..." Aaron nodded as she rant."Crazy right... he should be happy that the guy got to live at the very least. But thanks to the boy coming back alive, that senile man is getting at me with every chance he gets.""Getting at you?""In case you don't know boy. I am very very incompetent.""I see..." Aaron nodded."You see? You think so too?""Not that I think so, you said so... I'm just a little poor boy remember, does it matter what I think?""You seem to know your place quite well..." She noted, patting his head."Aha..." Aaron let out a short laugh and looked at her keenly."You seem to be suffering..." He said as he beheld her sad countenance just after he laughed."Well, I am very incompetent you see..." she paused and looked away before she continued, "...I have only gotten this far with my father and brother's support. My uncle doesn't really like me...""By your uncle... you mean?""Yes, The great Harris Revenmar...""I see... but you have not still talked about
Aiden stood in front of the club which should be the place that Hector had marked out on the map he sent him on his mobile.From the outlook of the club, there wasn't anything really special about it.The thumping bass of the music emanating from the building was almost deafening if one was to say, but as loud as it was, it sounded so distant as Aiden stepped closer, and was punctuated by the occasional shout or cheer from inside.Aiden was about to step inside but was stopped by the stocky guards that stood by the door not wanting to cause an unnecessary fight from the entrance so the police wouldn't come sooner than expected, Arnold decided to play by the book. He opened the black briefcase he was holding. In it was an array of dollars that lit their faces.They immediately coughed and let him in without saying too much.Aiden let out a soft chuckle, "Bastards..." He mumbled as he walked inside the club.He was immediately hit with a blast of hot, humid air, as the combined body heat
"Come on Hendrick! What are you doing?" Hector screamed.He was beginning to feel like he's head was going to fall off his neck.As one would expect dealing with a guy who is the top three of Aiden's mafia family.This guy was just too laid back even after hearing that Aiden had gone on ahead to face the gangs himself."Stop, don't disturb me.""What do you mean don't disturb you?! Boss is in danger!!""Careful how you speak Hector, that man is the third... you should respect the hierarchy."Hector's head immediately dropped as the person that talked slowly walked closer to him.Aiden did mention that he should reach out to all the guys, but there was no news that this guy was in town.Even the sight of him was terrific, such that he couldn't stand and watch for too long.He bowed his head, "The boss has requested help...""You don't know him""Huh?" Hector was shocked by the statement. What do they mean by 'he doesn't know him'?'...does it even matter, if I know him or not, the boss
But what will be will be.He had to do this for the boy to learn a lesson and if he would be recruiting this boy to his gang according to what the system wanted him to do that meant he had to show him how strong he is.Beating him to a pulp was necessary.With the way the boy moved, Aiden knew the boy was probably very skilled but he was also cocky, and that made him vulnerable. Aiden gripped his bat tightly, ready for him.The boy charged at him, his knife swinging wildly at Aiden. But Aiden was just waiting for him. With a swift sidestep, he dodged the boy's first strike and delivered a powerful blow to his ribs. The boy grunted in pain but kept coming, his eyes blazing with fury. They circled each other, the tension in the air thickening with each passing moment. The other gangsters watched in silence, their eyes glued to the two men as they prepared for the showdown. Suddenly, the boy lunged forward, his fist flying toward Aiden's face. But Aiden's speed remained unmatched. He du
Aiden felt so relieved as he walked out of the shower, flexing his muscle body as he took every step– it wasn't an intentional thing, being athletic just sort of fit him too well.He slipped into casual jeans and wore a round-necked shirt, leaving his hair rough and wet from the water. and cleaning his chin with a towel as he had previously shaved away the little beards that were struggling to come out.He had enjoyed his look so far and wasn't really sure how a beard would look on his face so he has been shaving it off regularly."Boss." Eduard, bowed ninety degrees as Aiden walked out of his room in a flip-flop slipper and sank into the one-seat sofa that sat at one corner of the living room."Ed, it is nice to see you..." Aiden said, admiring the handsome young man."How have things been? Are you angry I summoned you here when I know you probably have a lot you are taking care of over there?"Eduard chuckled, "No way... I will heed your call any time and anywhere you call me. And a
The following day, Aiden prepared to return to Canada and continue his hunt for the gang that took his parents from him.He had woken up at the crack of dawn full of vigour to start his manhunt. He had just finished packing his bags, his men already outside in the car, its engine on to keep it warm pending the time Aiden finishes with his father's friend.As Aiden's eyes skimmed round the room, his eyes landed on a small picture of his father and mother. His mother had been carry Aiden in her hands. Moving closer, Aiden inspected the picture. This was the first time he was seeing this picture as his grandfather didnt have it.He used a finger to trace their figure. Two of the most important people in his life reduced to nothing but memories frozen in photographs."That was during the time the mafia was after your father. He had come to me for a safe location which i had arranged for him. That was the last time i saw them. The next time i heard about them, it was news of their death. I
Then, the day they had been waiting for arrived. The head of the Black Lagoon syndicate was captured in Canada, drawn by the relentless attacks that had plagued his syndicate. As Aiden stood before him, his eyes ablaze with fury, he felt a cruel satisfaction in seeing the man who had taken his parents from him brought to justice.The room was dimly lit, the air thick with tension. The sound of rain tapping against the windows added an eerie rhythm to the atmosphere. Mishina Ren's eyes were cold and calculating, a stark contrast to the fire burning within Aiden's gaze.For years, Ren had eluded capture, always slipping through Aiden's fingers at the last moment. But tonight was different. Tonight, the odds were finally in Aiden's favor, and he was determined to make the most of it."Game over, Ren," Aiden's voice was laced with a lethal calmness. "You've caused enough pain. It's time to pay for your sins."Ren's lips curled into a chilling smile. "You're a persistent one, Aiden. But do
It was nightfall. The air was still, the surrounding eerily quiet. The usual night sounds were absent as though they had a premonition of what was to happen. Aiden walked in long strides towards a rundown motel. He had gotten intel that one of the remainjng Black lagoon comander was currently in there with a woman. He had evaded capture for sk long that he had began to drop his guard.He had been sighted in one of the clubs, bragging loudly about how he was as slippery as fish, difficult to catch.Soon after, his story had changed to how he had fought off his opponent's in their hundreds with just a baseball bat. With each change in story, he bought a drink and guzzler it down. He felt he had been lucky and all the commanders of the Black Lagoon was dead. To him, that meant that only he had access to the wealth of the Black Lagoon. He was going to cart away their riches and relocate to a quiet island, if possible buy the island and fortify it against intruders.Across the bar, a lady
By day, Aiden was the Chairman of Revenmar groups, breaking barriers and making waves in every industry they had projects in. He attended meetings and travelled to visit dignitaries who shouwed prospects of becoming investors.By night, he wrecked terror upon mafia families. Being the considerate and kind man that he was, he spared the innocent wives and children. Before staging an attack, he had his men do a thorough research about the family they were to attack.The punishments metted out was dependent on the gravity of their offences. Aiden was the judge and executioner. He understood that no mafia family was good, not even his but there were crimes he couldbt tolerate like human trafficking, rape, drug trafficking and reckless murders. Hence the research before attacking.It got so remarkable that crime rates reduced not only in Canada but also in other parts of the world. No government could pinpoint how the crime rate kept reducing drastically. Fear of the Naitatu plagued the hea

He had just finished packing his bags, his men already outside in the car, its engine on to keep it warm pending the time Aiden finishes with his father's friend.As Aiden's eyes skimmed round the room, his eyes landed on a small picture of his father and mother.

Early the next morning, even before the birds started chirping, Aiden was up and ready for his travel. He waited in the dark for the telltale sound of his chopper. At exactly 7 am, he heard the sound of the blades beating against the wind. Aiden had packed an overnight bag because he planned to stay till the next day. He vowed to uncover everything and every mystery that shrouded his early years and his father's past.Aiden made his way to the top of his building, using the stairs discreetly placed in his walk-in closet. He shouldered the door leading to the roof opened and stepped iut. His bag slung over his shoulder.Eduard stood there with three of his men. The moment he sighted his boss, he made to collect Aiden's bag which he refused with a shake of his head.A pilot sat in the cockpit. "How long is this flight going to be?" Aiden asked Eduard. He had chosen to travel early to avoid any delays on the way."It will take 6 hours sir. We will also have to touch base every two hours
The air was heavy with unspoken words as Aiden sat across from his grandfather, a palpable tension hanging between them. The room felt smaller, suffocating, as he gathered his courage to voice the question that had lingered in his heart for years.This was a few days after his eventual discharge from the hospital. Liam's trial had been swift because they had his confession. Every member of the Chrysanthemums Operation had been apprehended, facing different term sentences in prison. Gossamer shut down as news traveled far, causing its investors to pull out swiftly.Liam had been put on death parole, Aiden ensuring that his death happened sooner than later. The closure of Gossamer shot Revenmar to the top of the list of technology titans worldwide. It filled Aiden with pride as he was a core factor in making all these happen. After a few days of recuperating, Aiden resumed as the Chairman of the Revenmar Group of Companies unrivaled.Harris Revenmar had processed the release of Adam fro
Aiden's eyelids fluttered, and the world gradually swam into focus. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled his nose, and the soft beep of machines provided a rhythmic background to his returning consciousness. The events leading up to his current state seemed distant and fragmented, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle he was struggling to put together.As his vision cleared, he found his grandfather sitting by his bedside. A smile stretched Aiden's face. Movements caused his grandfather to look up from his book, his eyes filled with relief as he saw Aiden waking up. With a steady hand, he reached out and pressed the call bell above Aiden's bed."I'm so glad you are awake. Oh, I have been worried sick about you! The doctors said your chances of survival were slim, but I was certain that the boy I and your ma raised was stronger than that."Within moments, the door swung open, revealing a trio of medical personnel entering the room. They wore matching white coats, their expressions, a
By nightfall, a majority of the attendees had left, ensuring to show their gratitude to their hosts as they went.Trisha and Aiden stood by the door, shaking hands or blowing air kisses as people left. The Chairman was by the side, speaking to some of the board of directors present.Trisha watched Aiden with concern in her eyes, mouthing her words. she asked if he was fine, to which he nodded in the affirmative. He still looked clean, untouched, his outfit without creases. Their aunt, Getrude, waltzed towards the door, her girls in tow."It was a pleasant evening! Although I must say my brother didn't train that boy right. Should have put him to the whip to beat out that nonsense entitlement from him instead, what does he do? Encourage the brat."Her girls looked uncomfortable behind her as she droned on. Aiden tuned out her voice, only nodding when it seemed like she needed him to.Thankfully, Faith pulls her mom forward. "Let's go, ma. There is a line behind you." Aidrn sent her a g
