The Blind Consortium's Heir 61
"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
The Blind Consortium's Heir 64
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
The Blind Consortium's Heir 65
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
The Blind Consortium's Heir 67
The girl on stage seems to be the center of attention as there were many who wanted her, the bidding on her ownership continues for almost thirty minutes when finally no one could dego higher than Cora. The whole atmosphere was tense and the girl was all smiles enjoying the attention she was probably getting and Cora cussed under her breath as the man announced that she won and immediately the girl was sent to the other room to be prepared. Cora stood up and Aidan followed her to see the girl. "This way ma'am." A young looking lady directed them to the backstage room where the new girl is. As they entered the room, everyone left except for the girl they came to see. She gave a quick smile and the light reflected on her perfectly arranged sparkling teeth.. Cora scoffed in her head when she saw her. "You made a mistake buying me, hope you know that? I'll escape when I get the chance." The girl said with a smirk looking at Cora and Aidan who were still in masks then moving closer t

"All done, go get Mario, we need to leave." Cora announced to Aidan.Aidan took a bow and went out to fetch Marcos, they'd all given each other a fake identity before entering the hell hole and that would be their identity till they got out of here. "How about an exchange of contact, my love?" Jett asked and Cora gave a scoff."You'll do yourself good by staying away from me, Mr. Jett. You wouldn't want to die the most miserable death in the hands of my husband." Cora said with a smile that doesn't qualify to be called a smile."Woah, who's the lucky man?" He asked, going closer to her. Cora prayed in her head, if Aidan doesn't get them out of here soon...there'll be trouble, she's certain about it. She's already very angry and any little trigger now would make her explode. "I'm with my third husband, I killed the first two." She said with a smirk. The reply got Jett to halt but he continued advancing towards her when he saw the smirk Cora gave him. "Stand back, don't make me use
