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
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
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
