The Blind Consortium's Heir 108
Cora at Jett with a look on her face, she was too stunned to say anything or to even think straight. Did she hear something wrong? The question bubbled in her head, her whole body frozen like some cartoons in one of those cartoon channels she was forced to watch as a kid. Mr. Thanos? That's what she heard right or is her head playing with her in some strange ways. A confused look replaced the exhilarated feeling on her face, there are many Thanos all over the world, it could be anyone... It can not be Thanos she's thinking about though she wishes he's the one. "Why haven't you killed or brought him to justice?" She asked. She needs to be careful with the kind of questions she'll be asking him or he might snap again and she'll not be able to get the information she truly needs. There's always more to everyone, Jett is no exception."Oh darling Cora, you have ways of making me say things I don't wanna talk about. Since the little secret is out, let me shed more light on it. You're

Her indecisiveness over the questions stinging her every being is making her disquieted, giving her unsettling feelings about the whole shits. She's ornery at herself for giving Jett the opportunity to mess with her thinking and self composition. Why should she care about his sad childhood story? Even she has a grief stricken, lonely and miserable childhood... and to make matter more annoying, he was responsible for it but mostly his father was responsible for everything that had happened to them. They were both victims of one man and that's Thanos Thanos. The bloody man has no known surname, he's nothing, a nobody who's bent on ruining others just to get to the top. As long as he got his wishes, he doesn't care who gets destroyed. Bloody selfish conceited murderer. The door slid open as she neared the house and Fernando stepped out of the house. Immediately he saw her furious walking steps and angry expression, he took a quick turn and rushed back inside the house. "What happened?

"What were you thinking Cora!?" Aidan's voice boomed in annoyance staring at the woman laying on the floor with a lost look on her face. "Chill bro, I'm not dead yet." She replied casually, trying to take a deep ragged breath."What's wrong darling? Do you want to drown yourself in such a massive pool? And who the fuck makes a pool so deep and so creepy?" Chyna asked squatting next to Cora."I'm sorry guys, I was so lost that I forgot how to swim for a moment so I thought I'm drowning which resulted in the struggle between me and the water... You guys know the rest. Thanks for saving me bro, I know I can always count on you." She muttered with a light chuckle that Chyna couldn't help but smileAidan looks like he's gonna explode any second from now, he'd just saved her from getting drowned and she's taking every fucking thing like a joke!? How could she be so careless?"You better start talking right now or I'm gonna kill that boy and end this whole bloody nonsense once and for all.

An ecstatic feeling bubbles in Cora's being as Eva broke the news to her, she rushes towards the bathroom, has a quick fresh up, and dash towards her room exit. "Are you sure about what you're saying, Eva?" She asked, zipping up her big black hoodie."Yeah. I found it unbelievable at first but it's incredible and it's true." Eva replied."Yes!!! This is the best news you've given me this month, we've spent almost a month plus in that. It was stressful but the result is worth it. Have you told Aidan?" She asked once she reached Aidan's door. "Nope. Strictly followed your order this time. No telling him till you do. It was hard though and quick notice, I'm not gonna do that again. It's against my programming, you're lucky I've not talked with him this morning or it would have been difficult to keep it away from him." Eva explained, leading to Cora jumping excitedly."Thanks darling. You're the best. Thanks for not telling him." She cheered, stepping into the huge room immediately as th

The drive to Jett's house was boring and mostly annoying, Cora's heart was beating unevenly whenever she looked at Jett through the rear mirror. The car could autopilot itself but she decided to drive it because she needed the distraction. "Turn left." Jett instructed from the backseat and confusion glowed on her face."Why would you ask me to turn left? According to the direction you gave before, I'm supposed to go straight. So why are you asking me to turn left?" She asked, bringing the car to a sharp halt. "There are always changes in plan, I just have a change in plan." He replied, his voice sounding mean. "Fuck you! You explained to my boss that we'll be going to your house, you gave him direction. What's up with the stupid change of plan? Just to let you know, I'm not interested in changing plans, if we're going to move away from here to another changed destination, you're gonna call my boss and let him know."She said stubbornly, folding her arms across her chest.He gave a

Cora lay in her new room, tossing in different directions on the bed. She has no idea what to think. In a real sense, she's not even thinking straight, her mind is occupied with different thoughts most of which are questions. Questions she can't find answers to and it's hurting and confusing her whole being from within. She wants to ask Jett so many questions but he's busy with lots of stuff, he'd been absent for almost two months, and his family thought he was dead because of his mysterious disappearance. It was normal for Jett to disappear for months but he always comes home to inform them before he does that. Jett is a very different man around his family, he becomes so soft and warm, especially to his nephew Terry. The older man is Thalia's husband and Terry is their kid. Jett kept his family hidden here, away from the dark world that he was dragged into. Cora concluded that Jett is a bit nice, especially after seeing how family his secret family is to see him. It was a reunion

A big yawn escaped Cora's mouth for the nth time ever since they started the boring drive down to Jett's meeting place with his associates. "If you keep yawning like that, I'll be forced to take you home. What would my associates think when they notice my security guard yawning like someone who hadn't slept a wink all night?" Jett asked, giving her a serious disapproving look. Cora shot an angry look towards him, "I'm your security guard yet you're not allowing me to drive. I could drive faster than you, the silence in the car plus your slow driving is making me sleepy. Do you even know how to drive this thing?." She asked angrily, rolling her eyes."You need to work on your tone when you're talking to me. I know I'm not your boss but right now, we're working together and if we're going to hit this pretentious job, you're gonna learn to control your tone, young lady. I don't care if you scream my head down if we're alone but immediately we're in the presence of my superiors, you sha

"I'm extremely sorry, Cora." He muttered and pulled the trigger. Cora's eyes widened in shock and her survival instinct pulled her out of shock immediately but before she could react, she felt something pierced her arm causing her a slight pain. Slight pain? A bullet doesn't cause you a slight pain, she looks towards her arm, expecting to see blood flowing out but instead she sees a dart. A dart? She immediately pulled it out, the pierced skin let out some drop of blood. Her heartbeat accelerated, anger burned in her, she gave Jett a zero in but he just stood there, arms folded. Her angry stare didn't affect him, she groaned and began to march furiously towards him, cussing herself Inwardly for not bringing Marcos although he insisted on coming. Before she reached Jett, she pulled out her knife and once she stood close to him, he did something she wasn't expecting him to do. He raised his hands high up in the air in surrender, waves of shock washed through her but she quickly
