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
Aidan's mind went blank for a moment when he heard the name, his world seemed to have come to a standstill and he couldn't think of anything. That name!Again!? There's always one famous Pedro Lucas and that's definitely his ex father in-law, his late parent's friend and murderer.....they made him an orphan, try to kill him may times, made him blind and now they're responsible for his grandfather's death, killing Jonas;the man who'd seeing to his well-being all these years! He'd eaten him deep, the Pedros stepping on a wounded lion's tail and they're literally stepping on his face and inflicting more pain in his injury. What the fuck is wrong with that family? Why are they so hungry for power and wealth to the extent that they're willing to do everything possible to keep their forcefully acquired wealth to themselves even if it means killing a whole family member and making them extinct. He hadn't forgiven them for what they did to his parents, for what they did to him and now th
