The Blind Consortium's Heir 16
"Welcome A.K., how was your day?" Eva's voice greeted him as he entered his room. Oh yeah, he had a wife and that's Eva, the bot is acting like one... A responsible one. "My day was exploring. I took my time to explore some of the mansion so I won't get lost again, I almost got lost this morning." He replied."Hard luck, you should have asked for directions. I have the data of everything and everyone here." It explained. There was a knock on his door, Eva displayed the person on a screen Aidan didn't know existed before now, it was right on the door. "Cora Jonas is here to see you, should I let her in?" Eva announced. "Yes please, let her in." Aidan wondered what she was doing in his room, it was not yet time for the dance fight, it was just past seven in the evening.Mr. Kal hasn't returned from his medical check-up, so lunch and dinner were quick ones. Jonas had shown him around the house till he decided to come prepared for the evening.Cora walked in elegantly, dropping a ba

"Hello, Aidan" Mr. Kal's voice interrupted his thoughts. Aidan turned around swiftly to meet both Mr. Kal and Jonas. They were both heading towards him, "are you sure you wanna have a dance fight with Cora? She rocks at it and from my observations on you over the years, you showed no interest in dance fighting." Jonas asked him, a little bit worried."Let the boy be. There's always a first time for everything." Mr. Kal said and grabbed Jonas by the hand.Aidan feigned a smile, his mind occupied by something else. It was his granddaughter, the man had told him he was dying. Though he was looking frail when he saw him the first time, he seems to be getting better every second. The thought of losing his grandfather didn't sit well with him, some part of him still hasn't accepted the man but he feels super lucky to find his family in this lifetime of his. It's like a pure miracle to him. "Hey, don't think too much, just try your best and punch her hard, don't be deceived by her petit

Aidan had always loved a silent environment, loved his own solitude company but right now, his grandfather's silence is pissing him off. He's been walking with him for the past twenty minutes, and he never did as much as look at him and smile. He didn't know what he was thinking, or what he had to do. He just followed him through one of the many gardens in the mansion. He was pissed off for the first twenty minutes plus but he began to enjoy the walk, the natures gentle breeze caresses on his face is sensational, the beautiful scents of the flowers are surprisingly refreshing and to mask it all....walking with his grandfather was giving him a thrill he'd never felt before, not even when he met Arissa. The feeling of being with him filled him with these emotions that tug at his heart, making him wish to engulf him in a hug. He immediately dismissed the thoughts as soon as they came, hugging his grandfather! Odd. "I'm boring you right?" Mr. Kal asked, suddenly interrupting his od

"Good morning A.K." Eva's voice rang onto Aidan's ear and he grunted.Darn bot! It's too fucking early.He turned lazily on the bed and pried his eyes open.As he relaxed on his back, he wished to spend more time in bed, he'd slept late last night thinking about a whole new life."It's time for your workout." Eva's voice rang again and he stood up. "Thank you, Eva." He muttered the opposite of what he meant to say. He can't blame the bot, he'd instructed it yesterday to wake him up by 4:15 Am.He's so damn sure he didn't have the designated eight hours of rest.He couldn't sleep last night, he'd doze off probably past two in the morning."All good A.K?" "Yes Eva, all good." He answered stretching lazily.Today is an important day for him, at least that's what his grandfather told him... He needs to be in good shape. "Work out room Eva." "I don't get your instruction." "Where's the workout room?" He needs to know that he's not talking to a real human.Always be specific with wh

The ride back home was quiet and sad air roamed inside the car. Cora was still sniffing in cry, trying hard to control her tears. Despite Jonas’s dry face, his facial expressions were lost...he seems sad yet he was bitter. Aidan looked at his grandfather, the man's eyes were shut, and breathing evenly. Signing, he palmed his face and tried to calm his aching heart.Gritting his teeth against the knot in his stomach, he alighted from the car that was left ajar for him. Jonas and Cora stepped out of the car and waited for Mr. Kal to step out of the car. Mr. Kal stepped out and looked at the three sad faces staring at him. He's trying hard to put on a strong face for everyone, being weak is not an option. "Cora...I'm sorry for your loss and happy birthday darling. You need to stop blaming yourself, everything happens for a reason, I'm sure your mother doesn't find your fault in her death. You need to stay strong for your dad." "Thank you, boss, I appreciate your words of encourag

Aidan couldn't comprehend the question he had been asked. "I don't understand what exactly you mean, sir." He voiced out, confusion evident on his face.The security men at the entrance of the company are not taking him seriously,he could see the mocking expression on their faces."I'm sorry if you find my question awkward,I just wish to know who exactly are you to ask of Mr. Kal. Do you have any appointment with him sir?"The security guard asked. This is really getting annoying and frustrating,"Mr. Kal asked me to see him, why are you finding that hard to believe?" He asked calmly."I'm sorry if I sound rude to you, but I'm only doing my job, Mr. Kal is no ordinary man that you'll ask to see and I'll grant you access. Many people come here everyday asking to see him and less than a handful get to see him." He explained and Aidan let out a soft chuckle."I've never seen you around here before, if you're looking for a job,this isn't the right place to come....you can apply in any oth

Aidan looked at the figure that came into the room he was locked in. "Hey Cora." Aidan greeted when he saw Cora's angry face. "Hey stubborn man." She answered and beckoned to him to come over. "Let's get out of here." She said and headed out of the room. The hulk like security man was still peering at him discreetly.He wonders what he just be thinking, there was confusion on his face and Aidan loves the expression.As they got into the lift,the silence was choking him. He's a fab of silence but not at the expense when he has something bugging him to say. "Uhmmm...Cora." He called out to her unsure of what her reaction would be. "Yes boss." She answered, her eyes still focused on a particular direction. "A.K would do Cora, I'm not your boss." He corrected feeling a bit awkward by the fact that he was being addressed as a boss. "Alright." The simple answer came."I'm sorry about your mom's death." He finally let it out and if anyone asked him, that was the toughest thing he'd

"Attack!" Came the sharp order from one of the men. Aidan was in daze, but he quickly recovered himself and looked around for something to defend himself. He didn't care to ask what's happening and why it's happening because he knew a sword or more would be buried deep into his body if he questioned anyone. He couldn't find anything to defend himself and the men quickly surrounded him from all angles making it a suicide mission if he attempts to escape. "This won't be a fair fight you know." He said with a mean grin.His eyes were on every corner to prevent any unexpected attack from any angle. "I'm unarmed, martial arts have rules...you wouldn't attack an unarmed gentleman, would you?" The sarcasm in his voice was so evident that the men boiled more in anger. They seem to be deliberating on what to do. Aidan heard a sword kick towards him and he looked at the sword. These men seem to be reasonable and know the laws that go in line with martial arts. Had it been any other situ
