"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
Aidan watched as Cora flogged the living hell out of Felix Junior, his skin torn deep by the spikes attached to the whip. Her white clothes were stained with blood that were definitely not hers. "Ahhhh, please stop this. Please!!!" Felix Junior begged as the spiky whip landed on his torn body but his screams seemed like music to Cora's ear and she didn't wish to stop any time soon. "You know what, your scream only gives me more urge to tear your miserable skin. Why is your skin so soft? look how your body is sieving blood, I created the perfect holes in your body." Cora said with a smirk but the man only screamed the more. "How are you having fun now, Felix Junior? You are such a pathetic pussy, taking advantage of innocent girls. You know I know your track record and it's nothing good at all, you're involved in young girls trafficking irrespective of their age and it's very disgusting, different illegal trade takes place with you ranging from rape, kidnapping, killing and planting
"Good morning, boss."Aidan looked back and saw Cora heading towards him with all smiles.Crazy little devil. "Good morning Cora, hope you slept well?" He asked, accessing her eyes."Of course I did!" She said in an excited voice and Aidan smiled."Can't say the same for you though, you look like you haven't slept for weeks." She mocked, pulling a chair to sit.Aidan ignored her to face the device in his hands. Cora shrugged, "what's for breakfast?""Food." Came the simple response.Cora smiled wondering what's up with sarcasm so early in the morning. "What type of food? I mean the name.""Ask the chef bot. I'm off to the garden, once you're done you can join me if you want. Do not go out, no office work today, got it?" He asked standing up. "Uhmmm, yeah. Okay." Cora stressed each syllable not knowing what to say. "Alright then." He muttered, ruffling her hair then walked out."What's wrong with him today? I hope he is not angry with me because of my display of action yesterday."
"How was it?" Cora asked Aidan who was lost in thoughts.He looked at her with confused eyes, "how was what?" He asked in return, resulting in Cora rolling her eyes."How was your sleep?" "Oh that, it was good. Do you seriously have to sedate me to sleep?""Sorry, you couldn't sleep well since the encounter with Mr. Felix, so I could not help it. I was worried about you...you're human Aidan and you need to rest to think and function well, even machines need to shut down to boot sometimes. I'm not sorry for my actions though." She explained and she did mean it, she's not sorry for sedating him. If she hasn't done that, he might fall sick and the last thing she needs now is a sick boss."Uhhmm, I guess I should be thanking you then." He said, rubbing his head. "You sure should baby bro, you should be thankful that you get such a nice caring big sis." She said with pride and Aidan just stared at her."C'mon, say thank you. I'm waiting to hear that." She added when Aidan was silent."He
"Good morning, Mr. Felix. Hope you're good?" Aidan asked Mr. Felix whose face wore a mask of fear. "How's he now?" Aidan asked the bot doctor standing a few feets away from Mr. Felix."He's good, I've kept him under examination ever since he's brought in. His mental health is quite stable." The bot replied scanning the terrified Mr. Felix once again with a light emanating from its body."Alright, that would be all." He said and the bot went into another room, leaving the examination room. Cora entered next and Mr. Felix shrunk back when he saw Cora flashing a smile at him. He'd seen what she did to his son and the girl is no less than a monster to him. "Stay away from me, go away monster!" He shouted at Cora when she made an attempt to go close to him. "Oh my goodness Mr. Felix, I'm glad you enjoyed the show too. You want a replay? This time you'll be the one tied up. How do you see that?" She asked with a chuckle heading towards him with a knife in hand. Mr. Felix began to scre
Aidan stepped into the showroom, immediately all the members saw him stepped into the large hall, they all stood up as a sign of respect and Aidan didn't think twice before waving them to sit. He walked towards his seat still wondering why the big grand hall was called a showroom, they could have found a better name for it. It's like another meeting place for all the organization members in the mansion and the name given to it doesn't quite suit it but he doesn't give a darn about anything at this particular point in time. He sat down with a stone face and Cora came to stand beside him. Aidan turned to look at the woman standing beside him, "find somewhere and sit, Cora." His voice cut into the dead silent hall. Cora wants to stay close to him and she wouldn't settle for a far distant seat so she took the seat of the vice president next to him. She didn't know why those guards didn't think it wise to bring a seat for her. She'll have their heads later. "Good day to you all, I've
There was silence in the room except for the constant pain whines that emitted from Mr. Felix's mouth and everyone waited to hear what the big boss would say next but the quietness was now being prolonged. The big blow delivered to Mr. Felix's face had left him with a bleeding nose. "I share no blood relationship with you and I never will!"Mr. Felix growled at Aidan whose smile only broadened with every word uttered. "Oh really? Then do you care to explain why my grandfather didn't take any action towards you when he learnt of your attempt on his life? You can deny all you want but I'll not kill anyone that has the Karanos blood and that's it. You can deny all you want but that does not change the fact that you killed your own father for power and that guilt would burn you forever, uncle Felix." Aidan's voice was laced with anger as he said those words out. It felt good to finally say it to his face, this same issue had been bothering him for days, even before the kidnapping. Whe
EIGHT MONTHS LATER. "Hey boss, the reports are here." Cora announced as soon as she stepped into Aidan's office. "Is this a strong lead this time around? I don't want to be chasing the air again, Cora. I need to find that brute at all cost and not being able to is giving me a reason to add up to his crimes, the earlier he makes himself available, the better for him because sooner or later, I'm gonna find him and make him pay for his crime." Aidan said, standing up from his desk and heading towards Cora who stood across his desk. "Don't you think you're taking this too hard on yourself? You need to relax and we'll handle everything soon, he'll be caught soon, stop worrying." Cora lamented, handing over the documents she's holding to Aidan.Aidan shrugged, going through the documents she gave him. Aidan had been on the trail of a drug and human trafficker for the past three months and the man is proving hard to get, unknown to this man, running away would only give Aidan the joy of
