The Blind Consortium's Heir 18
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

Aidan's stomach plummeted, icy tendrils of anger clutching his inside. He couldn't feel the pain of the stitching anymore, his grandfather's words were enough to make him numb to all physical pains. What does he think of him? A puppet? A puppet he can control and do as he pleases? He'd been away from him for years, he accepted whatever explanations he'd offered without questioning his sense of judgment because he felt some strange emotional attachment to him. He felt drawn to him in a way he couldn't understand or even comprehend. He'd stayed in his big mansion, accepted every decision he'd taken about his life without question. Why? Because he thought he knew best. He has asked him to come to his office, despite knowing the tedious process it takes to see him, he didn't make any attempt to make things easier for him. Why? Like seriously, why? What does he want from him? To make things worse, he was attacked by some ass holes with swords in their hands, they even injured

"Aren't you done already?" Aidan asked impatiently looking at Cora who seemed to be taking forever to stitch the derm wound on his arm."Quit fretting and let me concentrate, Aidan." She said with clenched teeths trying hard to concentrate on what she was doing."I'm not fretting, you need to be fast.""I'm trying to be fast, junior boss.""I told you Aidan will do." He corrected, he didn't like being called junior boss, Aidan is much more preferable. "You're so dramatic." She scoffed at him."Says the drama queen herself, get this thing done with so we can head out."Cora chose to ignore him or she won't be able to hurry and stitch him up. The wound wasn't that deep, hopefully there won't be any mark on him by the time it heals or perhaps it might get a scar. It's a fifty- fifty thing. Aidan grunted in frustration, it was just a little cut, it would have healed by itself but he's sure they won't allow him to go if it's not stitched up.Why are they treating him like some child?

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

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
