The Blind Consortium's Heir 112
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

Cora stepped out of the car immediately the car halted in front of a big mansion. She opened the car door for her new boss with a stiff non smiling face. Work mode on. Many cars pulled up in front of the large mansion and a prominent personality in the society stepped out, Cora noticed that she's the only female security guard she'd seen so far, almost everyone coming in had bulky built men by their side. Jett was unique and different and he never fails to show it. "Let's go, love." Jett called and she followed him into the mansion. They underwent searching at different checkpoints and it pissed her off greatly, a smile curved on her face when a thought crossed her mind... No matter how hard they search her, she's not leaving this place without valuable evidence to show the shits the president is involved in. "Your cell phone ma'am." A man asked her and she hesitated.She looked at Jett who nodded in affirmation, she cussed under her breath, brought out her phone, walked towards t

"Do I know you, young lady?" The president asked and all eyes turned towards Cora. "Shit!" Jett muttered, his hands finding their ways to his guns. Cora took a deep shaky breath, cocked her eyebrow and stood up, "No, Mr. President. This is my first time coming here." She replied, her voice confident and face filled with seriousness.The president stared at her curiously, his eyes roaming over her body, a devilish smirk appeared on his face but he quickly concealed it, eyes still focused on Cora. Cora cussed inwardly, men are just so lustful, her one shoulder black top, a skinny Jean and Lita boots she wore wasn't such an eye catchy site. Some men are just made miserable by lust, she dresses professionally. Those old wicked eyes checking on her out would soon close and she'll make sure they're not opened forever. "Sir, she's my security guard and date." Jett announced standing up, his arm coming around her possessively. SA slight frown appeared on the president's face, "I have a

The grief-stricken Cora gave another long sigh, drawing Aidan's attention in the video call. "You need to get that scene off your head baby, everything would be alright. I promise you." He assured her for the nth times ever since they started the call. Cora's mood had been off ever since they left the Dooms room a week ago, the suffering she saw was something she couldn't get off her mind. The experiment being carried out in that room was inhumane, even an animal doesn't deserve such treatment. "We need to end this bro, we're running out of time, the last part of the experiment will be done in the next three days. They claimed to have a successful case but the lucky woman to survive the last part of the experiment doesn't look normal. I couldn't get her sample despite trying so hard, the security there is tight and their technology is highly graded too. We need to do something, that man deserves to be punished for doing something so inhumane to those people." She complained bitterl

Cora took in deep fresh breath of the garden air, the house might me small but it was beautiful and extremely welcoming. A lot of thoughts ran through her mind and sadness engulfed her deeply again. Thanos would have the final test of his super soldiers in less than two days and nothing is forthcoming about how they could expose him. Everything they've tried seems to backfire on them, it seems like he's expecting their every move and he'd thwart it every time without effort. "Hello." A voice said and she turned to see Terry waving at her. "Hey Terry" She replied, waving back. "You like the garden, don't you?" He asked, taking a seat on the bench close to her. "Yeah, I do. Where I come from, we have vast gardens and I miss them but this one serves as a comfort to me." She replied with a smile."Jetty loves gardens too but he hardly has time to stay at home, he's always busy and we miss him back here terribly." He stated, looking a little lost. "Are you okay, Terry?" She asked, s
