The security guards left him immediately he was injected, Aidan looked at him expecting a reaction but he got none. "Bound him to that chair, I don't want him moving." Aidan commanded.The security guards brought chains and bounded Alex to the chair he sat on.Alex wasn't still showing any sign of pain, what the hell is happening?He looked at Cora and she shrugged."Are you immune to such things, Mr. Alex?" Aidan asked, staring at the immobile man. Alex looked at Aidan with a deadly evil smirk..."Perhaps, your counterfeit medicine doesn't work on me, sir." He said proudly in a thick new voice and Cora gave a hilarious laughter that surprised everyone.She just couldn't believe that it was the same man who was begging not too long ago that's sitting there spitting rubbish. Aidan looked at her amused by her sudden laughter, "all well Cora?" He asked, with a cocked eyebrow."I'm sorry boss, just that Mr. Alex here is amusing....I can't believe I almost believe that he was just an In
The whole room was quiet except for the constant bloody cough from Alex. Aidan looked at him with an unamused face, there's nothing in his mind apart from the crazy urge to strangle the pain etched man at his front. "I'm waiting Alex and I don't have all day, I have a meeting to attend in an hour, so tell me whatever you wish to say or I have a way of getting things done." Aidan's voice slices through the silence."Before I start...I'll give you a warning to watch your back, you have loads of enemies." Alex said with an evil like giggle."Ha...I know that, what's a man without enemies...enemies are trophies to me in a way, don't worry about me, worry about yourself and your lovely innocent son." Aidan snickered and rubbed his temple. "Will you talk now? I'm really busy." He added, looking at his wrist watch. "I don't know about who sent me because I never bother to question my clients, all I'm interested in is the money...it's never my business to dig into my clients personal life
Cora followed Aidan hurriedly towards the K.O.W.W. meeting Arena, everyone had gathered here immediately she announced to them that their boss wishes to see them. It wasn't a wish though, it was an order that everyone had to carry out, there's no need explaining the consequences of missing the meeting without solid reason to anyone. The K.O.W.W. boss never calls a meeting without a great reason because the members don't stay in the same country and hence meeting physically means that there is a great issue to be addressed otherwise conference calls would have been used. The big door slid open and immediately the members sighted Aidan, they all stood up to show their respect but he waved them to sit down before taking his seat. Cora slides into the seat meant for her at the right hand side close to him. Truth be told, Cora feels so much power looking towards all those powerful men in the world. She'd always been a lover of power, what could be much better than power, unlimited pow
Aidan's darkened eyes scan through the faces of all the members present ignoring the surprise gasps from most of the members present. He'd made a quick short mental note of all the members present and a dark evil smirk appeared on his face. He left his high seat and stepped down to walk around every member, he took a long slow step around the table, his facial expression unwavering. Cora watched the startled looking members with pity and laughter, the way Aidan was walking around them is breathtaking, not breathtaking in a good way.... He's literally taking away their breath as he strolled around the big table. His dark aura was strange and somewhat evil hanging around like thick dark clouds and whenever he stops to look at a member, there is this silly evil smile that he gives the person that he or she would have no choice on either to smile back or just stare at him. His presence is dominating as well as authoritative and the sound of his steps bring fear to the mind of all, yo
"Cora...hope you have made all the preparations for the party, I don't want anything lacking." Aidan asked Cora who was busy stuffing food in her mouth."It's next tomorrow, there's still time...I still don't like the idea of going to that man's birthday party, I never liked him.....he's just too uhmmmm, to annoying and pompous." Cora said between mouthfuls.Aidan raised his head from the mini phone in his hands to look at the girl. "Stop stuffing your mouth with food like that, I told you to behave when you're eating...you could choke." He said, zeroing his eyes on her. Cora looked up with a confused expression still munching the hot tacos in her mouth.Yeah he'd been warning her to stop stuffing food in her mouth but she can't help it, she has zero table manners when it comes to eating at home. "Boss, I've never choked on food before...so stop worrying and we were talking about your vice president's birthday party and not my eating habits, besides I eat decently outside....let me
Cora eyes were darting everywhere searching for nothing in particular, she doesn't wish to come to this silly party but she didn't have a choice;wherever the boss goes, she follows. She zeroed her look on Mr. Felix who was grinning from ear to ear like a little girl on Christmas morning opening the presents that surrounded the Christmas tree."Ma'am, what would you like to have?" A voice interrupted her and she looked towards the direction. A young woman was standing few feets from where she's sitting with a broad smile. "A glass of water would do." She answered.The woman was surprised but she left to carry out her orders.Yeah....she should be surprised, when Aidan had said zero alcohol for her at the party, she was more than surprised.This is the first party she'll be going to ever since the death of her father and Mr. Kal and the new big grumpy boss had enforced the law of zero alcohol at the party...like seriously, where's the fun? There are exotic costly alcohol here that wo
Aidan's eyes pried open to darkness but due to the night vision he'd worn in his lenses before the darkness engulfed everywhere, he could see clearly.. Cora was binded by a rope not too far away from him. Talking of binding, he was binded by heavy chains... Oh well, that's wow. He remembered everything that happened; when darkness suddenly engulfed the party hall, a gas was released into the air making everyone pass out including him and Cora and now they're in the middle of nowhere with no one except him and Cora. He heard Cora struggles and he knew she's awake, she was clearly angry and everything was evident from her constant struggles when she was fully aware of her condition. "Cora darling, stop struggling okay?" He called out to her. "Oh God, thank goodness you're alright...and what's up with this shits? Whoever did this would get trashed by me for sure..I'm so angry right now!" She said angrily, still struggling.Aidan let out a soft chuckle as she rant on angrily. Cora r
Cora raised her head staring at the men, the second man in red suit seemed stunned by everything considering the way he stood but he immediately shook everything off and backed away from Aidan. Aidan's facial expression has this glint of sarcasm that Cora couldn't miss, she still can't figure out what was going on because both men remain quiet. She can't bear the suspense and yet she can't do anything, she wishes to know what's wrong and why's Aidan calling their captors Mr. Felix and which Mr. Felix? Is it that no good vice president? Everywhere was silent for a good one minute and when Cora couldn't bear it again, she let out a grunt looking at Aidan who gave him a reassuring smile. Sorry dude, that smile ain't going to work unless you fucking tell me what's going on! Her voice rang in her head and she gave him a snort of annoyance, what's the use of all these suspense anyway? For Pete's sake, this is not a movie! They're dealing with reality here... If they don't put an end t
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
