The Blind Consortium's Heir 130
Meeting with company partners is taking a great toll on Aidan, he missed Cora but she's heavily pregnant now, she's in her fifth month and she still looks beautiful and in shape despite having twins growing in her belly. She finds it hard to adjust to her new life at first but Jett's family came to her rescue, she spends most of her time there now and as long as she's happy, Aidan is happy. It had been hard for him to not have her around but he's adjusting too, the empire misses her, she'd insisted on coming to work and it had taken him forever to convince her to work from home, Marcos had taken her position as head of Karanos security branch, she kept reminding him and Marcos that it was temporarily and once she give birth, she's taking her position back.Aidan had told her it won't be needed and she'd cried a river till he told her he was joking. Her pregnancy turned her into a crying shit, tears are never lacking in her eyes and she uses them to get what she wants. Aidan tapped

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 company was huge but compared to the Karanos's, it was nothing but they needed to collaborate with them to achieve this month's goal and that's exactly why they're here. Aidan operates anonymously in most big projects, instead of using his name, he uses his grandfather's name and therefore, in the business world, his grandfather still lives despite being dead. Most people considered it sheer stupidity but they'll never dare say it out loud, Ares doesn't take trash from any one, if anyone says trashy things about him, the person's generation becomes trash itself. Many called him a friend to all but a friend to none, you can't take the advantage of being close to him for selfish gain, anyone who tries it has everything on the line to lose. He has few principles but he stands most with the one that goes thus... If they stand behind him, they'll gain protection. If they stand beside him, they'll gain respect.... But.. If they stand against him... He'll show no mercy

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

Jerome's eyes flashed in anger as his eyes held the two people he's looking for. Those same people had beaten his sons to an unrecognized situation and now they'll pay. He'd seen everything in the footage and had been on the lookout for them. Who'd have thought they'll turn out to be the people he was about to work with? "Are you going to stare at us furiously or do something?" Aidan asked, his face still blank.Chyna couldn't think straight, she has no idea what's going on, how's the man they've come to work with so angry at them?Maybe he has a bad history with Aidan, perhaps they've had a bad experience in the past, Aidan has a flow of enemies like an endless stream so it won't surprise her if Jerome turns out to be one. Jerome had just taken over his generation empire and changed its name to his, from the few information she has about him, he's not a good man, he's involved in all forms of shady business deals. She has no problem with his illegal crime-filled life, all she's int

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

The ride home was a quiet one as usual but Aidan was the one piloting the jet with the help of Marcos this time. One could tell that he's pissed, so he decided to pilot the jet to prevent himself from destroying Jerome with just a tap of his finger. "I don't think Jerome would keep quiet, he'll definitely do something to get back at you for the humiliation you caused him." Marcos voiced out his worry, his boss had handled everything and got out of Jerome's country but just like him, Jerome had many contacts and connections around the world, he would definitely get back to him for the embarrassment he'd gone through."I know he won't keep shut, I'm waiting for him and I don't care when he wishes to strike, I'm ready and I'm not afraid of him or his silly comrades." Aidan replied with clenched teeth, his head seems to want to explode because of how angry he is. He needs something to calm his ranging self and piloting the jet is doing very little to help his situation, it seems to wors

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
