Aidan was in pure agony, his inside was churning with pain and suffering. His wife is in bed with another man on their wedding anniversary, this fact alone is like a death sentence to him.
He walked in, his inside shaking with anger, he'd loved his wife dearly, she was the only reason he was putting up with her parent's tantrums, and she was here, in bed with another man, on their wedding anniversary!
He knew exactly where their king-size bed was, he was heading straight there, but a barrier came in between, he stumbled upon something, and he couldn't regain his posture immediately, so he fell, dropping the gift bag and misplacing his aid stick, informing the lovers of an intruder.
Arissa's face was burning up, either due to interruption or due to shame. She wanted to withdraw from her partner's membership but the man wouldn't let her go so easily. With little struggle, he changed position, faced her down on all fours, inserted his throbbing member, and hit her hard from behind.
Their skin flapped against each other and Arissa's moans hit Aidan who had struggled to stand up. He guides his way to the bed and was about to get hold of the man making love to his woman when he heard her muffled words in between moans” don't stop Draco, please don't stop.”
The word seems to hit him like a raging volcano, he dropped to the floor screaming his anger out. His mind was running a marathon, if he heard the name right, Draco was Arissa's ex-lover, the same guy who had made his school days hell for him.
He'd threatened him on different levels to stay off Arissa, he is a spoiled wealthy man, always showing off his rich status. Arissa told him that she'd cut off ties with him, how did they end back together? he's even ravaging her in their matrimonial bed. This very thought gives him the thought to murder him.
He was an excellent husband to her, she'd said this herself, why then was she cheating on him with that son of a gun? His inside was in turmoil, he could do little to help his situation, but he gathered enough strength to fight off the man.
Standing up with every ounce of power and anger, he trusted his hearing and made his way to the two. His hands came in contact with sweaty skin and he grabbed him, raising his hand, he struck him on the stomach.
Draco howled in pain, staggered, and fell to the floor. Arissa rushed to the man wrenching in agony, comforting him.
She looked up at Aidan whose face was burning with pure anger, stood up, and struck him right in the face, "Are you out of your senses?" she questioned him angrily.
Aidan was at loss for words. He just caught his wife in bed with another man and when he's showing his anger and pure disapproval, his wife slapped him and insulted him. What's happening? The question was loud in his head.
"Are you asking me such ironical questions? You should be asking yourself such a question. Are you in your senses Arissa Pedro?" He asked, addressing her with her family's name.
Arissa went closer to Draco and helped him up, the blow seems to have shaken the horny man. Poor Draco.
She took something and covered herself and threw Draco a boxer to wear, his manhood has gone limp due to the pain he was in. No normal man would still be horny after the way Aidan hit him.
Everything was going accordingly, now it was time to weaken the angry man.
"Aidan, you have no right to barge into my house and disturb my peace." She said pushing him with all her might, but Aidan barely took a step backward and hit a desk at the back.
"Why are you doing this Arissa? We loved each other. If you're sex-starved, you could have called for me. I'm your husband damn it!" He said angrily, stamping his foot hard on the ground.
"Love? Did I just hear you mention love?" She asked, giving a short mocking laughter.
"You never cease to amaze me, Aidan. How could you even think that I'll fall for you? You're a penniless orphan with nothing to boast of except your extremely good looks, being super great in bed and brain. Apart from that darling, there's nothing in you that would attract a lady of my class to you." She explained, going closer to him and tracing her finger on his agonized face.
"Wh...what are you talking about? You proposed marriage to me after school, remember? You even did it on a live stream. What are you talking about now?" The agony evident in his voice was choking Arissa.
"Oh please spare me the pain in you and flashbacks. Do you want to know the truth, Mr. Aidan?"She asked.
"What truth?"
"The reason I married you, of course, I still can't believe that you're so dumb to think that I'll love you. You have absolutely nothing to offer me."
"You're still talking trash Arissa. That doesn't explain why you're cheating on me with your ex-lover. You told me there would be nothing between you two ever again." he said, reminding her of the words she said.
"You're just smart in books Aidan, and you're a fool to think I'll leave my childhood lover because of an imp like you. I'll go straight to the point. I knew you were coming here tonight, which is why I planned a surprise for you. How do you like my surprise Aidan?" She asked.
"Arissa!" Aidan moved forward to get hold of her and shake some senses into her but was pushed down by someone." stay down there 'cause that's where you belong, at the mercy of our dirt." Draco said he seems to have regained from the pain inflicted on him.
"Why Arissa, why?" Was all he could mutter because he could do nothing to help his situation. What can a blind man do?
"Simple. I got married to you because my father thought you'll be of great benefit to our company, and since you're blind now, you're nothing but a liability to our life, I never loved you. Everything we had going on was purely a contract and with your loss of sight comes the expiration of your usefulness." As she said those words from her mouth, Aidan felt like he was about to lose his mind.
"Poor thing. You must be feeling bitter right now, it was never my intention to hurt you Aidan, but in everything I do, my family business comes first. I intended to spend more time with you, but your loss of sight has made things a bit complicated, so you'll have to leave my life, I can't tolerate a blind man."For a split second, something indefinable flared in his face, before the mask fell and his expression became unfathomable. FOOL, a voice in his head taunted. How could he have fallen into such a trap? Arissa had deceived him cruelly, he had trusted her implicitly. How did all this happen? He thought that he'd finally found some form of peace in his life when he met Arissa but here she is, in her matrimonial bed, with her ex-lover, telling him that their marriage was nothing but a contract. A contract he never had an idea of. "Don't be so hard on yourself Aidan, any man would fall for Arissa's charms, she is such a beauty, a brain, and a sly crook of a woman, " Draco commente
Aidan woke up with pains aching all over him, he remembered being hit by a car, and he could swear it was intentional, the car meant to kill him, being a blind man doesn't mean his sense of reasoning is blind too. "You're awake finally." He heard a voice say. There was excitement in the voice, and it sounds vaguely familiar to him. He just couldn't place where he'd heard it before.He made to stand up but the hand held him down and said, "relax beauty, you're saved.""Jonas!" Aidan gasped, surprise evident in his voice."What's happening?" He asked, "take me away from here, my life is in danger in this house." He said alarmingly, making a way to stand up again.Once again, Jonas held him down, "you're completely safe Aidan, the Pedros have no idea you're here, we're not within their reach." He said, reassuring him. "Why do you feel you're not safe in Pedro's environment again? Remember, that house used to be your heaven on earth."Jonas asked as Aidan relaxed. "You won't believe wha
After recovering from his eye surgery, Aidan was taken to a shop, and he bought some fine designer suits, and shoes. He was given a makeover and once again, he felt like a man in control of his life. He was transported in convoy and addressed with the utmost respect, in all this development, Jonas was always with him. He is now a changed man, giving orders that are meant to be carried out immediately after he voices them out. He's indeed a man with apt order. In all this transformation, he was still in a daze and confusion. He's very eager and scared to meet the man behind all this. Who's he? The day finally comes, men in black and the latest cars await him outside their five stars hotel. He was well dressed and as usual, Jonas was by his side, assuring him that all would be well. Despite his hard and calm facial expression, his inside was in chaos and different questions were dancing in his head. He entered one of the many cars and the convoy began to move. After a few minutes o
There was an expression of pure surprise on Aidan's visage. Is this man in the right frame of mind? What's he talking about? Different questions run through his mind. He just couldn't understand what the man in front of him was insinuating. "How can I be your grandson? I don't even know my family, I've been in the orphanage for as long as I can remember." Aidan said, confusion evident in his voice. One could see that he's very indisposed. "Calm down young man, I know how unbelievable this might sound to you, but it is what it is." Mr. Kal said, as calm as still water.With questions swirling in his head, he began to feel a slight headache. He just doesn't understand what Mr. Kal meant by stating that he's his grandson, he has no family. He's been alone ever since he left the orphanage which was family to him. "Get me the family photo album, Jonas." Came the sharp command from Mr. Kal. Jonas took a slight bow to show his respect and left the room. Mr. Kal gets dressed and asks Aid
The woman wore a very simple one-shoulder top and skinny-fit jeans; on her left breast, which was slightly covered with the top, he could see a marking similar to that of his own, the only slight difference was that her breast swelled making her own to be uplifted upward. The gorgeous girl's pendant was exactly like his own. "Is that my mother?" Aidan asked in a shaky voice, feeling a bit dizzy. "Yes, that's your mother. That picture was taken on her 20th birthday, she was the apple of my eye. Everything began to go wrong when she fell in love with a church rat and refused to marry the man I chose for her." Mr. Kal explained to him. Aidan peered more at the photo, he shared a striking resemblance to this woman. "And here is your father, Mr. Luke Bryan. He was a businessman but with the bad economy back then, getting a job wasn't a piece of cake, but your mother loves him." Mr. Kal said as he flipped the photo album. His supposed father looks great too, he now knows where he got h
His grandfather looked at him and noticed his worried facial expression," Aidan, don't stress your thoughts over this, you'll get to know everything in due time." His grandfather assured him. "I'm sorry sir, I just found all these revelations baffling," Aidan confessed.Mr. Kal's face looked displeased, and Aidan saw it and got confused, "did I say anything to upset you, sir?" he asked. "It's nothing, son." Came the sharp reply. Aidan shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Mr. Kal studied Aidan's face and liked what he saw, his grandson is a good observer. He didn't like the fact that his grandson addressed him as 'sir' and he was greatly displeased by it. Aidan had noticed this but he wouldn't let him know he was displeased, he had to be sure that he meant well to him. The room went quiet, and it was interrupted by the sound of Jonas's footsteps, "here is the file sir." Jonas said, handing over a file to Mr. Kal.Mr. Kal dropped the file on the table in front of him."I've kept a rec
Aidan locked eyes with his grandfather, as he sat down again. He wanted to ask what it was that his grandfather found out but he decided to let the man tell him everything at his own pace. "The accident which claimed the life of your parents was all planned." Revealed Mr. Kal. Aidan's eyes widened in shock and there was a questioning look on his face. "Your father's business partner's hand work. When your parents attended the party organized in honor of their child's third birthday, they tampered with their car. You were just five years then if memory serves me right. I was enraged when I found out that their accident was planned and I decided to ruin them." His voice was now full of anger and Jonas quickly told him something in Greek and he calmed down."I was planning on their ruin when I received the news that you were found. You were washed offshore and found by a fisherman who took you to the hospital, from there an orphanage took you in when you couldn't answer any questions
Aidan stood up, staggering backward, what's happening? How's this possible? How can one family be responsible for all the miseries in his life? Jonas quickly stood up to support him, but he held out his hand, "please Jonas, I'm fine. Just sit" Came the sharp order. Jonas looked at the young man with pity, he knew things won't be easy for him, it's such a strange world.Mr. Kal was immediately alarmed seeing his grandson's face going pale. "Aidan! Sit!" He ordered, but Aidan was in da aze.His anger was slowly consuming him, he needed somewhere to cool off. The room seems to be suffocating him and he wants to go out. "I need to go out, please." He pleaded with clenched teeth "You're not going anywhere. Sit Aidan." Came the old man's order the second time. He really wished to grant his grandson's wish and let him be alone but he can't, he has little time left. He'd cheated death for a long time. AiAidan'snger took over him, he needs to cool off... He began to head out but some he
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
