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 boy still held high his arrogant face. He was not going to talk no matter what Aiden said and unbeknownst to him, that act of his was only breeding more and more anger in the eyes of Aiden's subordinates who were sitting there silent as Aiden asked a question and he refused to answer. 'Ah, this is so difficult. How do I get through to this Kid." Aiden thought, scratching his head as he was getting fed up of the boy's provocative silence. He was frowning and holding his silence even after asking numerous time in different ways. "Are you Hallandale's son?" "Where is Hallandale?""Where do you guys stay?" "Why is a kid like you living a thug life?" No matter how many forms Aiden's question took, it ended in that same solstice of the solemn atmosphere– the boy refused to respond. Wham! What happened was in an instance, he moved too fast for Aiden to react or stop him. And the boy's head swung into the head as he kicked him like a ball. The boy rolled over three times before c
