Chapter 207.The whole room was bustling with life, slow music, low whispers of admiration. Chyna sip on her glass of wine, it's been three minutes since all the two hundred and twenty guests arrive. It was actually supposed to be twenty five but not everyone had turned up yet, some had dropped a message, saying that they'll be a minute or minutes late. She scanned the people around and she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, those people present in the party were not ordinary people,they are all prominent figures in the world, the world knows their name and they had come here just to attend a few hours party. They brought gifts, lots and lots of gifts, more gifts she'd ever seen in her life and when she said gifts... It's definitely out of this world though there's nothing they can give Aidan Karanos, the man has everything he needs and even if he doesn't have, Eva would create it for him. Aidan is like a god, the difference is that he's a mortal. She went towards a seat that ha
Chapter 208."One of the reasons we are gathered here today is to welcome them... The new members of the Karanos family... " He paused and looked at the silent crowd, enjoying the power he wields. The whole place was silent except for the childish sounds coming from the screen. "I want the world to join me in welcoming the precious gifts that had been gifted to the Karanos name after a long while, a precious gem that we never expected bit gotten, having them in our life had filled it with so much joy and happiness that it becomes one of the real reason why we are celebrating tonight but before I give them names, it would be more proper to call out their mother, my sister... Cora Jonas." He announced and the spotlight went towards where Cora was.Hearing Aidan call her name and also with the spotlight on her, Cora stood up from where she was sitting and headed towards the seat that was originally meant for her, there were other dignitaries sitting already, she took her place with a sm
Chapter 209Aidan's eyes scanned the party, everything was going well, just as planned, he'd been so occupied with other dignitaries after he finished his unplanned speech. "Good evening to you Mr. Ares, my name is...""Mr. Ayan, I'm very familiar with your name, it's nice that you could make it to the party."Aidan interrupted the man, who looked at him with a smile."Interesting, I'm surprised that a huge personality like you recognizes me, it's truly great to he here, Mr. Ares." He said and Aidan nodded slightly.He wanted to get away from this introduction but he couldn't, in every corner of the room, there's always a man who wants to introduce himself or a woman who wants to introduce herself, it was such a busy evening and to think that the party was hosted for fun and relaxation... He doesn't find anything relaxing here because all the invited guests that he'd met are just interested in business talks, he knew they'll always be business talks but fuck! It was too much right now.
Chapter 210.The dance came to an end, Chyna felt like a queen, the queen that she never thought she'll be, pictures of her and Aidan were being taken and she could not help but feel on top of the world because she knew that the world was watching her and tomorrow, the whole media houses would be filled with the karanos as the news headlining, though she's a bit angry that it was not here real face but she doesn't care because she knew it was not permanent, soon the reason why she has to hide her face would be done for and she'll be able to live her life without any fear of anyone.She doesn't care what the world sees, as long as she's with Aidan, in his arms and feeling so good and in bliss, she doesn't want anything else, being in his arms is enough for her, just enough for her. "Stay here, I'm coming okay?" Aidan asked and Chyna nodded with a smile, took a glass of wine that a robotic waiter was passing with and began to sip it as she stared at the man walking away. "Nice catch, l
Chapter 211."Same here darling, I wish there's something exciting to do instead of the boring dance, eating, conversing on boring topics and most importantly, having to introduce yourself to everyone present... The urge to kill someone is deep in my blood. " Cora agreed with her and a low deep chuckle escaped Aidan's mouth."Don't worry girls, I'll give you two and the whole world an entertainment at some times." He said and began to head towards the stage.Time to have some fun, real time fun.Aidan stood on the stage again to address the audience, he search the audience for the one man he needed but he was nowhere to be found but that's not s problem, he knew he would be here, he has to be here, the party can't start without the special guest in attendance, it just can't start, he would have to be here. He shall come, he doesn't have to coerce him or do anything, he would come here on his own, he would come here because he has his own mission and he needs him to be here in order t
"Happy birthday, sister." He muttered and presented to her a small device. Cora looked at it in amazement wondering what the gift was or what kind of gift he had given her. "What's this, brother?" She asked."A key to unmask the death angel among us. " He replied and fear could be seen in Cora's eyes. She knew immediately that there was someone who wanted them dead and the person was amongst the invited guests. Aidan saw the fear in her eyes and he couldn't help but smile, Cora used to laugh in the face of danger, she used to get excited that there was something adventurous to do but now she looks scared, she was scared and he totally gets it. She has a family now, she has plans for the future, she has a lot to do with her newly found happiness and she's scared because she doesn't want anything that would hurt her family, she doesn't want her newly found happiness to be tampered with. He got hold of her hands, look deep into her eyes and assured her, "I know you are scared darli
."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
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
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
