The Blind Consortium's Heir 36
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
The Blind Consortium's Heir 38
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.

Aidan relaxed on the bed as he watched Cora sleep peacefully. He didn't have any choice but to put sedatives in her food, she's unable to sleep well and it worried him. "Goodnight Cora, tomorrow is a new chapter for us." He muttered and pecked the sleeping Cora on the foreheads and stepped out of his room.*******Cora pried her eyes open in Aidan's room feeling more relaxed than yesterday. She sat up and stretched, eyes looking for Aidan who's nowhere around the room. How did she sleep so long? No matter how tired she is, she doesn't sleep so long but she feels better. "Good morning, F.C." Eva greeted immediately as she stepped out of the bed. "Morning Evans rz."She replied, her voice was getting better."A.K wants you to dress up and meet him in the garden once you're done. He said I should inform you that the burial arrangements are already made. He's waiting for you." Eva announced and Cora's heart clenched at the mention of burials. Brace yourself girl, you need to be th

"You shouldn't have been so rude to them, Aidan, they are prominent figures in your grandfather's organization." Cora scolded the big man who was busy in the kitchen.The guests had left because Aidan makes them truly uncomfortable.They'd come to discuss something of importance with her but Aidan's presence makes it impossible because they don't know who the big man in the apron is. Despite the several eye contact they've made with her, she couldn't do anything about the situation. Aidan Karanos is the boss now. "I don't care Cora...go and take a bath and come down for breakfast in few minutes." He ordered Cora who sighed and began walking out of the kitchen."Don't add sedatives to my food again, I've slept enough and we need to talk...we don't have much time to waste." She said and rushed out of the kitchen before she got some scolding.Aidan gave a low grunt and continued cooking."I don't even know how am gonna explain everything to him, I wish you're here Mr. Kal or dad...I'm

"Everything is ready, boss." Cora announced to Aidan who was engrossed in the system."That's good. We'll be making a few changes before we go, come and sit down." He said gently tapping the seat next to him. Cora looked at the man sitting in front of her, shrugged and obeyed his command.After everything that happened yesterday, she has this new profound respect for him.He'd handled everything in a way she never thought.Mr. Kal's fear didn't come to life then because his grandson didn't judge him for who he is and he accepted everything he is with good faith."Yes, boss. What do you want to talk about?" She asked, trying hard to get used to the new man."You can call me Aidan, Cora." He said calmly and Cora gave a nervous smile."You're my boss, I can't address you with your name." "Of course you can, you're my sister...remember." He said with a chuckle and she doesn't have a choice but to smile."Yes bro. So what do you want to talk about?" She asked, getting serious with the is

"Since you're done here, we need to head to the Karanos Empire for your introduction." Cora informed Aidan as they headed towards the convoy waiting for them. "Mr. Ares!" A voice shouted hurrying towards them.He halted and turned towards the source of the voice. "Yes, Mr. Felix?" He answered with an unamused face looking at some of his cabinet members and his vice president. "I'll be hosting a party next month here in Greece, on the popular island of Paros. I was hoping that you'll grace us with your presence." He said calmly with a big smile Aidan thought was forced. He hadn't liked Felix from the beginning when he saw his biography in the internet and the K.O.W.W records plus the fact that his presence gives him creeps and bad feelings."That would be beautiful, my sister here would get back to you." Aidan answered, referring to Cora. He could hear some gasps from some of the cabinet members because he referred to Cora as his sister. Mr. Felix seems shocked too but he'd immed

"Boss." Cora called out in an inaudible voice immediately she ended the call she received.Cora looked at Aidan who was absorbed in whatever he was looking at, it had been a hectic day for him and he needed all the rest he could get but here comes another problem.She can't hide anything from him, he's the boss.....he'll get to know in a matter of minutes anyway."Boss." She called a little louder and Aidan looked at her. "Stop the boss endearment dude, you can call me A.K." He doesn't like the fact that Cora always calls him boss even when they are alone. His facial expression alerted when he saw the worried look on Cora's face. He immediately stood up and went towards her. He'd promised to cook for her once they got home, she'd been with him all day and that meant a lot to him. She seems to be his strength, ever since his grandfather and Jonas died, Cora was the only person he counted on and he knew he'd stressed every tissue in her body out. He could have given her more time

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?

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
