"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?
"You can't fight Aidan." Cora fretted, hoping that Aidan would listen to her. She's already regretting bringing him here, she'd thought he'd feel better watching the fights happening in the Arena, she doesn't know the stubborn man would wish to fight. This is a deadly fight and she's sure Mr. Kal won't appreciate it if Aidan fights here and risks his identity. She looked at Aidan's unamused face. The young man didn't even give her a glance. "Aidan, I'm talking to you." She muttered and gave her a smooth punch. Still, he didn't move a muscle.He just stared at no particular direction and Cora was already frustrated.She hates being ignored, in a sense..no one likes to be ignored. So sad for her cause that seems to be Aidan's hobby. "I'm talking to you block head!" She almost shouted before he gave her a silent deadly glare."What?" He asked with an icy voice. "Stop feigning to me, you clearly heard what I said to you." She was getting irritated and annoyed at the same time."Ho
The whole Arena went rowdy as people ran in different directions, with the whole Arena engulfed in darkness and gunshots firing in different directions...escaping in such a condition isn't the best for the two. Thank goodness they were in the VIP section of the Arena which saves them from being trampled upon but that doesn't save them from being hit by any stray bullet. Aidan pulled Cora and searched for a solid wall he had seen earlier. Once his hand hit the wall, he kicked away the chairs there and pulled Cora, he immediately lay down with her. Cora's thought were a mess, what the fuck is happening? Why are they shooting into the air? Why does this have to happen today that he got Aidan here? There used to be some commotion here but not to the extent of shooting in different directions when the room is in pure darkness. The man she was supposed to protect is protecting her instead, he'd lie her on the floor and lie beside her, using his body to shield her from unknown danger
They sat in the car and the vehicle immediately sped off, the driver was none other than Jonas himself. He looked at his daughter and Aidan through the rear mirror and shook his head. What would have happened had he not been alerted on time about the whole mishap? He'd warned Cora several times not to go into that deadly Arena ever again but the ever stubborn girl wouldn't listen to him. "Hmmmmm" He let out a sign. Cora meant the world to her and Aidan meant the whole wide world to Mr. Kal, had anything happened to those two.....he can't imagine what will happen. Mr. Kal had been so stressed out when he learnt of the shootout in the Arena the kids went to. No one knew Aidan was his blood but he was called because Cora was spotted there. Mr. Kal was sad, angry and devastated at the same time. He'd ordered the person responsible for the shootout to be handed to the authorities and Jonas is pretty sure that Mr. Kal would ensure the punishment of the man in question. He'd had a s
Cora gulped down a saliva and prayed feverishly to God... If she ever got out of this mess without any form of punishment, she'd never disobey her father ever again. Lie! Something in her scream but she ignored it, she really meant her words... Least, for a few days. "I asked her to take me somewhere I can take my anger off. Wrestling has always been my favorite sport and Jonas here could testify to that, I never knew taking me there would get her into trouble, had I known.. I'll have seek another way." Aidan quickly defended Cora who was fidgeting with her clothes.Jonas looked at Aidan who kept a straight face and to Cora who was staring at Aidan. Mr. Kal had a blank expression and Cora immediately added, "I'm sorry boss, I promise that it won't happen again.""I know it won't because I'll have that place shut down with immediate effect, the game is deadly and I'll not have you dancing around with danger." Mr. Kal said with a note of finality and Aidan and Cora exchanged looks.
SIX MONTHS LATER. "Good evening sir, there's a package for you." Aidan's secretary said as he entered the building. "Thank you." He muttered and took the package from her.He knew exactly who it was from. Jonas had called him earlier in the day to inform him of a package that would be delivered by evening in his office. He's now working as the general manager in one of the branches of Karanos Empire. Mr. Kal had been impressed with him while he worked as an assistant in his Empire. Within the span of three months, he was promoted as the general manager. He now heads a branch entirely under his control. And so far, the branch has made a lot of profit and goodwill. Aidan looked around his office and took the nearest seat, dropping the package beside him. He will be heading home in an hour's time and once he's home, he's gonna go straight to bed. He had a hectic day and he doubted if he'd have dinner tonight. His grandfather had given him a completely new and different life and
Aidan stepped into the elevator and headed up. Questions were churning in his head and giving him a split headache. He fucking hate thinking too hard especially if he has no solution or answers that arise in his mind. The only person that could answer his questions was his grandfather and the man was in no mood to talk and he didn't wish to approach him with questions. The elevator sounded ding and opened up for him, he headed to his room with bees of questions. "Are you alright A.K?" Eva asked immediately as he set foot in his room. Seriously?What the fuck is this bot made up of? He ignored it and went straight to his dressing room to change into some pajamas."What would you like to know?" Eva asked again.A lot Eva....a whole lot. But how on good mother earth did the bot know that something was wrong with him. He's sure he's not showing any sign of physical discomfort but his emotions and inside were a mess."I don't wish to know anything that you can't help me with. Dim t
Aidan woke up earlier than usual and the migraine he's feeling is stinging his eyes. Nightmares won't allow him a peaceful sleep. "Good morning, Aidan." Eva greeted me."Morning Eva, what's the time?" He asked,feeling pain as he spoke."It's 4:28 AM."Great! He wakes up too early despite sleeping so late and now this migraine is killing him. "Your body system isn't good, would you want me to call a doctor?""No, thank you. Can't you do some body checkups and prescribe the right medicine?" He asked, there are bots with such functions and since Eva is very advanced, it should be able to. "Of course, I've done some body scans on you but I asked you to be sure which method of treatment you prefer.""Great. Can you prescribe some medicine?""You just need rest, as for the migraine,I can get you some capsules to take." "Add some sedatives please.""Sure." Came the short reply. He was thinking about how the bot would give him the medicine when suddenly the door opened and another bot b
