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
"You shouldn't have kicked me so hard." Aidan said, rubbing his ribs. Cora had indeed treated him to hand combat and she was an opponent worth fighting. She engaged him in a serious hand combat and it felt good to be able to move his body again. They've been having practices before but today was super special. He felt alive and free. "Sorry dude, you made me fall flat many times, I shouldn't waste a good opportunity to hit you hard and believe me I'm not sorry at all." She said with a chuckle rubbing her spine."I think I might have a broken spine." She added and Aidan let out a short laugh. "Humor me, then it's a miracle that you're still walking straight huh? Hehehe I think I might have broken a few ribs though." "Oh please, I'll be glad. It would be a birthday present that's unforgettable. What do you think?" She asked and elbowed him playfully."Sorry to burst your bubbles, it's gonna take more than one punch to break my ribs. Try again later sweetheart.""Why do I feel lik
"Are you fucking serious right now?" Aidan asked looking up at Cora who lay on his bed."What's there not to be serious about?" She asked back, giving him a big yawn."I'm so sleepy." She added. "Don't sleep in my room, get to yours. I have things to do." Aidan answered, pacing up and down."I'm too lazy to walk out of this place, food's supposed to give us energy but I get all sleepy when I eat." "That's because you overeat." He replied sharply."Don't be too furious, it's the boss's order." Cora said.Oh yeah, that's what it's all about.Boss's order. "Do I seriously need to conceal my face again?" He asked gently rubbing his temples "Yeah, but just for a while. You can unveil it once the boss announces you as his heir." She said with a chuckle and Aidan rolled his eyes. "Tsskk, I wonder what my ex family would say about these whole shits. They've pronounced me dead to the world." He said with a blank face. "They're probably gonna jump in a lagoon and die because they know you
Cora walked into Aidan's room musing to herself. She drop the bag she was holding and drop on the chair"Hey, what's up vixen?" Aidan asked the grumpy looking Cora who looked at him and rolled her eyes. "C'mon baby, tell me what's wrong, did your girlfriend break up with you again?" He asked Cora who ignored him.As a lesbian, Cora had broken up with more than five of his girlfriends in six months.The last time they brought the issue, she'd mention taking a break from dating. "Seriously? Does all my sad mood insinuate that I broke up with my girlfriends? Besides I told I'm taking a break dude." She burst out in total disbelief and Aidan chuckled. "Prrft! Tsk! If you don't wanna share what's wrong with you, keep it to your crazy self. I've got a lot to worry about right now than your crazy mood swings." Aidan mumbled with a furrowed eyebrow hoping that Cora would open up to him. "Try again later dude, I'm not in the mood to talk. It's almost six and you ain't even ready." She sai
Aidan checked his wrist watch continuously. That had been his job ever since they got to the venue a few hours ago. It's few minutes to ten and his heartbeat accelerated with time. He'd tried his best to calm down but it wasn't possible, he has this odd feeling that things might not go well tonight. He's trying his best to be optimistic about everything but ignoring his gut feelings is a waste of time and as the time draws nearer, it increases. The people present for the party are not ordinary ones, their dressings scream wealth, they emit power and dominance and they're all here to witness the announcement of the Karanos heir. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on positive energies but negativity and dangerous signs that he can't just ignore. Cora advances towards him with a drink in her hand. "Dammit it Aidan, you're looking like someone who'd been sentenced to his death. Calm down baby." She said with her newly manly voice. The chip had changed her voice and it was
Cora observed Aidan who seems to be having restless sleep on his bed. He's been muttering Inaudible words since yesterday after the tragic death of his grandfather. Cora left out a sobbing sniff remembering how the two prominent men in her life died right in front of her. Aidan had passed out due to the gunshot wound in his arm, he'd lost a lot of blood and the arm would have become useless if not for the chemical fluid she'd injected into his almost useless arm but everything was fine now. He's physically okay but he's emotionally and mentally disturbed. One could see it with the way he turned about in his bed, he kept muttering, cursing, crying and whimpering in his deep state of rest. Cora felt her heart tightened in her chest as she watched tears come out of his closed eyes again. What form of excruciating pain and guilt could make a man in a deep state of rest cry. How did all these happen? How? She'd been a crying mess of pain since yesterday but she has to stay strong
Cora flinched at his cold words and dark aura and the truth hit her. The man sitting in front of her wasn't the snobbish, sarcastic, funny and jovial Aidan..... He'd changed, she didn't know why she decided that he had but she felt it. She cleared her head by discarding the thoughts immediately. "Cora?" He called calmly...too calmly.She looked up at him and she nearly screamed her remaining voice out. "Aidan! Your eyes!" She said loud enough for him to hear, her voice was almost inaudible."Don't worry about me...you need to rest." He said casually and stood up from the bed. "How can you tell me not to worry, your eyes are bloodshot. I'm calling the doctor right away." She announced and made to stand up, but she staggered and Aidan held her in time before she landed hard on the floor."Don't try to babysit me Cora, you need rest and that's final. Don't be all tough all the time, sometimes...be calm and let your body rest." He lectured the awed Cora who was too tired to even talk.
