"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
The whole room was silent for a moment, a painful grunt was heard but no one knew where the sound was coming from. Chains rattling could be heard and everyone stayed still in the dark room unwilling to move for fear of being a prey to whoever the hunter was. Cora could see clearly due to the night vision she was wearing, she heard gun shot immediately that dumb fuck vice president reached for his gun. 'Who did he fire the shot at?'Many possible answers shoot up in her head but she refused to acknowledge the one that has the highest level of happening. ‘Is Aiden shot!?’ She turned the answer to a question in her head. She wanted to scream due to her blocked view, she can't see clearly due to the heavily built men blocking her ways. None were moving and it frustrated her, who hired these cowards to become security guards? She knew she's supposed to be quiet but she can't be, Aidan could possibly be bleeding to death or worse! "Boss?" She muttered his name but no response came e
"I'm not your mother dude, grow up!" Cora shouted in frustration waving her hands up in the air.Aidan would never get tired of teasing her, there's this frustrated face she makes that makes her cheeks plumpy to touch. "I can't grow up when you're around,mommy." He said with a wink. Cora gave up, "just tell me the whole thing already, don't try to deviate from the topic, you're telling me everything now. We still have almost thirty minutes to drive home. I don't know why you insisted on road driving, we could have been home now if we used the jet. You're just zero fun but I'll use the slow drive home to my advantage. Start talking Mr." She commanded with a serious face and it only earned her a smug. "When I announced it in the organization that there was a betrayer in our midst, I posted a different trusted security agent on all the members to know of their every movement. For like two weeks, it was like nothing was happening, all members went about their business without any suspi
"Welcome, boss." Eva greeted as usual."Hope you had fun?" It asked when Aidan didn't reply to its greetings."Mmmmm." He muttered and began to strip his cloth, humming some unknown tone to himself. "Do you wish to eat anything?" It asked Aidan and he gave a loud grunt. Talk of an annoying or persistent bot, talk of Eva. "I'm fine Eva." He replied to keep the bot off his back. "Negative, you're injured and you need medical treatment. Would you want me to call one of the bot doctors or Cora?" "None for now Eva, I'll take care of myself. You don't have to worry about some little injury I sustained." He said in a grumpy voice but Eva wasn't done with him. "Bot doctor or Cora? Choose one boss, you need to treat it before the infection spreads. Besides, your hands can't possibly reach your back to administer treatment to yourself." "I said no Eva! I'll take care of myself. Shut down." He ordered."I'm sorry, I'll have to delay your order for your own good, I'm calling Cora. She will
