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
He let out an airy"Holy fuck!" and turned around immediately. "Sorry for the noise and I'm sorry for the embarrassing scene, I just wanted to take a quick shower before stepping out." She mouthed an apology, not doing any effort to cover her nudeness. "I'm sorry for barging into the bathroom, I thought you fell considering the fact that you just woke up from a long rest. Take your shower and meet me in Cora's room if you still wanna talk today, she's tired and I want to take her to rest. I'm sorry once again, be careful." He muttered and left the bathroom without a backward glance. A defeated sigh left her mouth, "What was I thinking doing such stunts, it won't work on him, he still loves Arissa and would always love her. Stupid girl, think straight and stop being so shitty." She chided herself, hitting her forehead hard with her palm.Seducing him!?Oh no, Chyna, that's a path to disaster ... Stay cool with him, and don't try anything funny or he'll put a bullet into your small h
Aidan relaxed on his bed, his eyes closed but despite his relaxed posture, his inside was in chaos, different thoughts were streaming down his mind and anger was the only thing that came to his rescue. He'd lost every ounce of feelings that he had for Arissa when he caught her cheating on him, vomiting all sorts of trash from her mouth.The family he'd always considered as his own turned out to be his worst enemy. A little smirk carved across his mouth as different devilish thoughts of how he'll make them pay for all the wrongs they've done to him cross his mind. There are many ways but to him, they're too little, less evil and less deadly. He cussed inwardly and sat up, what's the best way to make them pay? He wants to attack them in a way that they'll not know what hit them, he wants to do something that would shake their very foundation and pull them down with no hope of redemption. He wants his revenge to be in such a way that the family would realize what they've done to him,
Chyna took in a deep breath trying to relax her nerves, Aidan's words and warm welcome had given her some form of calmness. She wasn't expecting him to shout her head down but she was expecting some kind of cold welcome, changes in his attitude towards her but nothing changed, he's still as calm and composed as before... It is true, Aidan Karanos is highly unpredictable. "Hmmmm, it all started immediately. I lost my parents in a plane crash that claimed their life on the spot. It was the most disastrous day of my life, the day my parents died was the day my life ended and I wished I could have died with them." She began with a lost look, sadness etched in her voice."A plane crash? When was it?" He asked."It was a personal plane, my parents ran an airline in many different parts of the country but their main base was in the United States, their airline business was the best and it soared higher every second, making many businessmen envy my parents. Everything was going on well till
