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
"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
Aidan went out of Cora's room and his eyes went towards Chyna's, he began to deliberate whether or not to go talk to Chyna or not, it was already past twelve in the morning and he used that as a reason not to go to her room, she must probably be sleeping. "Eva?" He called and his watch beeped, "How can I help you boss?" Eva requested and Aidan deliberated whether to ask her about Chyna or not."It's nothing Eva." He muttered and cracked his neck before moving towards his room. "If it's about madam Chyna, she's not feeling too well." Eva said through the watch and Aidan halted. "What do you mean by not feeling well?" He asked with a cocked eyebrow, halting on his steps."This." Eva said and soon a sobbing sound could be heard from the watch, "She's crying and it means she's not emotionally strong. I would have told Cora but she needs her sleep, you always complain about not being able to relate well with emotional people but I think you're great at it, you're handling the girls well
."What did you plan on doing to the Pedros for all the wrongs they've done to you and your family?" She asked and Aidan's expression darkened."I'm sorry for asking such a personal question but...""Nothing." He muttered. "What? What did you just say?" She asked, surprise evident in her voice. "I don't want to do anything to them again, Chyna." He replied, dropping her hand and stood up. Chyna's eye nearly Pope out of their socket, did she just hear him right, maybe she didn't get the answer or he didn't get the question she'd asked.... or... or, he's just joking but when she looked up to see his facial expression, there was nothing that gives any sense of humor. She stood up, shock rocketing through her body, how can he say he'd not make them pay for what they did to him. Those assholes killed his parents in an accident that was also supposed to claim his life but he survived and that took him from life of riches to that of a miserable pathetic one, he'd been orphaned by those
The night was a long one as Aidan had predicted, he was on conference calls that lasted all night, he loves his work because there's always something to do. The empire is so big to an extent that there's always work pending to do. He'd absorbed himself so much that he doesn't think of anything else aside from Cora of course, she'd become a significant part of him that he can't sum his life up without including her. Her and her babies would live a great peaceful life and he'll make sure of that. "It's past five in the morning boss, you should rest." Eva's voice filled the room and Aidan rolled his eyes and returned his concentration back on the tablet he was holding. "I'll go to bed once I finish reading this deal and sign it, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He replied and returned all his focus back on the device but Eva wasn't the type to give up especially when it comes to her boss health, the man had become stubborn and careless when it comes to his health and the bot would
