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

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 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
The Blind Consortium's Heir 69
Cora's mouth hung open as Aidan revealed the identity of the girl they just bought from Jett. How's this possible? How can a Pedro's blood be here and at a dangerous place waiting to be sold? The business is her father's own, how did she end up here? Her confusion brought loads of questions in her head and her head might explode due to what's happening right now. . Aidan wasn't helping her confusion and it's getting her angry. She doesn't know what sort of man derives pleasure in keeping someone in suspense. Cora took her pad and viewed the CCTV camera in the car that holds the new girl and the guards. Chyna was sleeping peacefully on Marcos shoulder, that's what she gets for disobeying her, the gas still has effects on her though not fully. She can wake up when she wants to. "She was my best friend back at the Pedros." Aidan muttered, looking at the footage displayed in the pad Cora is holding."What's she doing here in the first place?" Cora asked one of the questions that's d

The whole room was quiet except for the sound of Cora's advancing footsteps. Chyna tilted her head towards Aidan then back to the advancing Cora hoping that what she heard was wrong. "Do you seriously have to do that now, Cora?" Aidan asks, shaking his head.Cora rolled her eyes and halted in front of Chyna who seemed to have frozen hard. "Hey...learn to keep your mouth shut." She said with a frown to Chyna whose mouth was slightly opened. "Shall we sit down?" Aidan suggested. "Nope, I'm starving. I don't know about her but I can't talk sensibly on an empty stomach. Feel free to join me." Cora declined, heading towards the dining area with a smile on her face.She loves the way she got Chyna in a tight, shocked spot. The shock was beyond what she could be feeling right now, at least her facial expression said so and she's not sorry a bit. Chyna watched as Cora left, turning towards Aidan with a fake smile plastered on her face, she ask" can you help me escape here? I know you're

Chyna stuffed the spicy tacos in her mouth savoring the flavor. "Darn! He makes them good." She muttered with mouth full, heading out of the kitchen after spending like twenty minutes thinking about things she's not supposed to think about, thinking of any slight probability that might led to her identity being exposedAfter what seems like forever, she gave a little disappointed sigh when she didn't make headway with the puzzles in her head. She'd choose not to worry over how those people get to know her identity, worrying over what's already there wouldn't solve her problems or make them forget what they already know. So why bother herself with worries when she can enjoy her time here? It's such a cool mansion and right now, all she can think of is how to make sure she stays here. She has no idea who these people are or how they got to know so much about her but if they don't cause any harm to her in any way, she will enjoy staying here till she gets bored of everything which is

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?

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
