The Blind Consortium's Heir 140
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
The Blind Consortium's Heir 141
"It's simple logic Chyna and I was able to guess because the Pedros messed with my family as well and they succeeded." He replied calmly and Chyna's face flare in surprise but confusion clouded her mind because she has no idea what Aidan was talking about."What do you mean? I don't understand. How did the Pedros mess with your family?" She asked, giving him a puzzled look but Aidan only gave her a low dark chuckle.Where should he start from? Her story was a shocker to him but when it comes to a family like the Pedros, nothing good was to be expected from them, they're just after what would benefit them and that's what they'd done to Chyna, they've taken everything belonging to her and rid of her, after all she wasn't useful to them again, that's how the Pedros are, once you've outgrown your usefulness, they rid of you perfectly. They did to Chyna what they've done to him, this own was a bit hard because everything they were building on belongs to his family, it belonged to him, the

"Fuck! That's horrible! It's the most wicked thing anyone could do! How could they do that!?" Chyna exclaimed and her exclamation only earned a low chuckle from Aidan.Telling her everything was what he thought was best, he'd told her about everything, his parents deaths and all the shits the Pedros did to him. "And to think Arissa got married to you despite knowing how cruel the parents have been to your family, fuck!! That family is darned!" She added, still furious. "I don't know for Arissa but she was the best player, back in school, I never planned to go out with anyone considering my background but she came to me, she was the brightest girl in our set and despite rejecting her constantly, she came to me and I fell deeply for her. Back then, I'll proudly say that she's the best thing that has ever happened to me because all life back then was full of shits, but she came along and made it sweet." He explained with a bitter smile, his heart clenching in pain at the memories he wa
The Blind Consortium's Heir 143
Aidan looked at the sleeping girl, her face had gone pale again, dried up tears stuck to there. It was probably a bad idea to talk about the issue with Chyna, by talking about it, he'd revive an old painful memory that makes her blame herself. One thing she refused to understand was the fact that the Pedros are no ordinary family, they're very influential in the United States and other countries, she wouldn't have been able to gather up enlightenment evidence to harm them. Before she'd even get the evidence, it would be great trouble, Mr. Pedro is not a fool to keep evidence that would ruin him in casual places. Even if she manage to get the evidence, to give it to the right people that would help her would be difficult, there are bunches of corrupt greedy men that craves powers just like the Pedros and they'll never accept one of their own to go down the drain because they all have each other's dirty secret that might lead to the end of them. Such things are rampant and he wants he

"You shouldn't have taken such uhmm... decision without consulting us first, sir We're meant to protect and not destroy." A member of the K.O.W.W voiced out. "It is true, sir. Jerome is an influential person in the world and destroying him like that wasn't the best thing to do, you could have called for a meeting and discussed everything with us and from there, we would come to a conclusion for the embarrassment he'd meant to you." Mr. Larry added to the thousands of complaints every one had been heaping on him. No one dared to blame him directly, he'd given them freedom to express themselves but they seem to be holding back in their complaints and he doesn't like it. Calling him sir is some form of respect to him but he was way younger than some of them, they're all prominent figures in the world. Despite asking them to address him as A.K since they find it important, they never seem to understand, so he'd dropped the issue. They can call him whatever they want, it's not his proble
The Blind Consortium's Heir 145
"Mr. President... I do not mean such, what I'm trying to say is that, perhaps it was one of your enemies here that attacked you and not Jerome. Jerome should know the implications of crossing heads with you." He replied in a shaky voice, his palm becoming sweaty and his inside in fear. "You're still saying the same thing Mr. Darren and I were almost disappointed in you but I ain't because I was expecting something of such from you, Jerome held me at gunpoint in his office, demanding that I give him my secretary in order for him to let me go. What do you all have to say about that?" He asked, his eyes focused on a particular direction but only he knew he wasn't looking at that direction."Jerome is a fool to have done that, had you talked to us, we could have addressed the issue amicably and have him apologize to you, destroying him wasn't still the best option." Mr. Darren implied and Aidan had the great urge to strangle him to death, to see fear in his eyes as he breathed his last b

Aidan stormed out of the meeting room angrily, his face showing the displeasure he was feeling. Those bloody bastards and greedy and that would put them in an off position with him, he doesn't care what member he has to lose but he needs to put them in their places, perhaps Cora was right, he shouldn't have given them the liberty he gave them, they dare to say such trash about him without asking for his own side of the story. Darn those members! "Mr. President!" A female voice called and he halted, turned to see who it was.Ms. Antonio was rushing towards him, some of the members trailing on her back. Now, what do they want!?If anyone says anything stupid that provokes him more than he already is, he's gonna shoot someone and he wouldn't care who it would be. They've provoked him with their stupidity, not even a child would try such shits with him. Once they get promised money and power, they turn to abandon their simple sense of reasoning to embrace pure stupidity. Ms. Antonio h

"I told you, don't give them such liberty, now look at the shits they're saying. How come they're all still alive and walking? You could have killed a few of them. Those bastards! How dare they!?" Cora shouted angrily, after watching the meeting recorded video."You should have shown me this earlier, I'll have them killed without a fuss, least that would teach them a little lesson not to mess with you again, who the fuck do they think they are!?" She spat angrily."Sis, you've got to chill okay. You're disturbing yourself over some unnecessary issue, I told you I handled it, you don't have to stress yourself over this okay?" Aiden assured her, his eyes still fixed on the computer he was holding. "Don't ask me to calm down, you're the cause of all these, you should have killed one of them, that would serve as a lesson to all those greedy mongers to respect their president. Why the fuck didn't you call me or tell me earlier." She asked, turning around slowly to face him but his eyes we

EPILOGUE. *Thwack! Thwack!! Thwack!!!*"Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!! Ahhhhh!!!" Mr. Pedro screamed in misery as they thrashed him mercilessly in jail.“Enough!" Aidan ordered and all the hitting stopped abruptly. He stood up and steered towards Mr. Pedro who was sagging in chains, his body red, blood dripping from the opened wound on his body. "You... What have I done again? Isn't sending me to jail enough for you?" Mr. Pedro asked weakly and Aidan let out a soft laugh.This man had no idea what he had in store for him, why the hell does he think he pleaded with three judges not to sentence him to death by hanging?He's gonna suffer so much till he chooses to perish miserably. "You don't seem to learn, do you, Mr. Pedro?" He asked and the man looked at him weakly, sweat entering into his eyes, yet he could not wipe it away because of the position he was in. "What have I done?" He asked again, staring at Aidan with disdain."Chyna... You think you can blackmail Chyna into doing what you want,

Chapter 220One month later. "Where is it, God? Where the hell is it?!" A female voice cried angrily as she searched vigorously with the aid of a touch light.If she doesn't get what Mr. Pedro wants, he's gonna get her arrested, she has to get everything that he wants, anything at all. God!How did she get herself involved in this mess in the first place? Everything was finally going great for the first time in her life and now, that useless man wants to ruin everything for her!"God!" She said in exhaustion and suddenly the light came on. Her heart began to beat violently as the office light of Aidan's office came on.She was frozen in one place, her heart almost running out of beat and her brain reeling in different directions as she tried to figure out what was going on... No one was supposed to be at the office now, it was the middle of the night. Who could have come to the office at such an odd hour? "Are you looking for anything I might help with? " A familiar masculine voice

Chapter 219."What the hell are you talking about Aidan? You think you can just appear and disappear as you wish, who the hell do you think you are?!" Mr. Pedro asked angrily, his face contorted with anger. "I am Aidan Karanos, the only surviving son of the late Mr and Mrs Luke whom you killed, the only grandson of late Mr. Kal Karanos whom you had a hand in his death, and the heir of the Karanos Consortium," Aidan said loudly and gasps could be heard from different directions. The cameramen immediately focused the cameras on him and many more people brought out their phones to start filming. "Wh... What?!" Mr. Pedros said in shock but suddenly burst out laughing to the shock of everyone present."Has he ran mad ?" Someone in the crowd asked. "You are the biggest clown in the world, Aidan. You think you can come back from the dead to make some tall claims, you..." He paused and laughed again. "The heir to the Karanos empire is Ares and not Aidan, you can not be the heir, you are

Chapter 218."How do you feel about the death of your daughter, Mrs. Pedro?" One of the journalists asked Mr. Pedro who was in all black.Today was the burial of Chyna Pedro who was assassinated a week ago by some group of men. No one knows about the man."It was a very tragic loss indeed, she was finally finding her footings in this world and...oh God!" Mrs. Pedro paused to wipe the tears that were streaming down her face. "She was finally getting the best of what she was meant for when those evil men decided to kill her, I don't know what happened because as you all know, I was arrested a few weeks ago base on some wrong information, I pray that her soul will rest in perfect peace" she said with a sob and Arissa held her mother to console her. "Is it true that you guys never get along well with the deceased?" Another asked."Chyna was a drug addict and mentally imbalanced and that's nothing new, because we tried to help her overcome her addiction, we became her enemies and you can

Chapter 217.THREE MONTHS LATER. "You can not arrest me, take your hands off me, you idiots!!!" Mrs. Pedro screeched, as the policemen held her and were leading her away."What's all these Chyna?" Mr. Pedro asked, anger visible on his face."I'm arresting your wife for fraud and I have evidence of everything, if you want to see for yourself, you can meet us in court, Mr. Pedro," Chyna said calmly and this only seemed to flare him up. "Are you insane, do you realize what you're doing?! That's your mother that you're arresting!" He huffed.Chyna frowned and turned to face him squarely, "I do realize what I am doing but did you realize the rubbish you just spat out of your mouth?! The last time I remember, you two killed my parents and took away everything they left for me and as long as I am alive, I shall make you pay dearly for that, don't ever make the mistake of calling her my mother. I am not related to any of you and I never will." She muttered and turned to leave but Mr. Pedro

Chapter 216."What?!" Mr. Pedro exclaimed, his eyes almost popping out of their socket.Chyna looked at Mr. Pedro, wondering what could have shocked the man to such an extent that he exclaimed so much in the middle of a meeting.Things had been tense ever since she came here and the necessary signatures and agreements were being carried out by both teams. Mrs. Pedro had been giving her a crazy stare, she looked so shocked and up till now, she was still looking lost and shocked. She kinda loves the reactions she got upon coming here, it was worth everything and yet she fears for the aftermath of everything, she's scared of what rye Pedro's would do after they get the shares. Mr. Pedro's phone had been ringing repeatedly and when he finally decided to pick up, he'd let out a shout. She can't help but wonder what could have shocked him so much to the extent that he was looking very disorganized. Mrs. Pedro immediately stood up and headed towards the husband who was speaking discreetl
215.
Mrs. Pedro's hands began to shake lightly, heart hammering against her ribcage as she saw who just stepped out of the car, a low shaky murmur escaped her mouth, "Chyna?" When Mr. Pedro heard his wife mention the name, he began to accept reality. He wasn't hallucinating.That's Chyna...But how? She was supposed to be in the rehab center or did the woman just look like Chyna? There's only one way to find out and with that, he began to head down to meet her. Chyna's blank face scanned the environment and saw the large crowd which mostly consisted of media personnels. A low sigh escaped her mouth, well, she has to do this. She and Aidan had both traveled down here but as planned, he'd go somewhere else and she'll be here to sign the deal with Mr. Pedro. She had no idea why Aidan wished to go into partnership with Mr. Pedro and she would have stopped it if she had any power to but there was nothing she could do about it. It's his money, his company and he gets to take any decision r

TWO WEEKS LATER. "Mr. Pedro, how do you feel about getting in partnership with the new empire that had taken the business world by storm?" A journalist asked Mr. Pedro who was all smiles."I feel delighted of course, to partner with such a profitable business would deliberately uplift my own empire to first. You all know how my empire is eyeing the top and I'm pretty sure that this time, with the partnership of the new empire, my empire will finally see the top." Mr. Pedro replied proudly, his eyes going towards his wife who was surrounded by another group of journalists. This is what he wanted, he knew that signing a partnership contract with the new company would bring a lot of fame for him and his family, this is what he'd wanted. "Mr. Pedro, what do you have to say about those influential businessmen who withdrew their shares from your empire a few months ago? Do you have any message for them?" Another journalist asked. "Of course I do, I always have messages for those who thi

."You think you can threaten me, you rascals!!!" He boomed laughing like a maniac. Aidan's arm went around Cora's waist and he murmured,"Press the button." The woman who seems to be in daze immediately pressed the bottom and in less than a nanosecond, Drake was surrounded by drones. Drake looked around and laugh hysterically,"Do you think this will stop me?" He asked and laughed again."It's like you have forgotten how this gun works but don't worry, I'll demonstrate." He said."Press it again Cora." Aidan ordered, his eyes fixed on Drake who seemed so sure of himself. Cora immediately pressed the button again and the drones surrounding Drake got into action, they immediately began to web some sort of material around Drake. They webbed it so fast that it was almost unnoticeable to Drake. Before anyone knew what was happening, Drake was in a huge balloon-like ball, the only difference was that he wasn't floating, he was still standing still on the ground. Upon seeing what had j
