Cora's eyes immediately flipped open after a few seconds of struggles and pain filled murmuring about her mother's death. She looked around with a startled expression, her eyes filled with fear and innocence, her eyes landed on Aidan whose face was etched with concern for her. Her heart was beating frantically against her chest, her head seemed to be heavy, her head fell towards him and he caught her in an embrace.Chyna looks on as the two hug deeply, Cora still seems to be lost or probably in daze because she's not showing any reaction yet. Cora's brain immediately jotted back to Jett as she hugged Aidan. Her brain began to recount every detail of what happened before she passed out. As her memories came flooding back, her body began to shake in anger, "that tattoo... I've seen that... I've seen that tattoo before. I could never forget it." She muttered, her breath hitching."Cora. Calm down." Aidan muttered, holding her tight to himself. "You'll be fine, I need you to calm down s
Cora gave a low tired yawn, looking out of the window. It's almost morning and despite the fresh calm air blowing gently and caressing her almost naked body, she felt hot and burning. Her body is in no state of rest and her mind is constantly getting hyped at the thought of Jett. Having those strange feelings around him now makes sense to her, those eerie feelings and shits. Her childhood must have sensed him, sense the dangers around, the hurts she'd gone through because of that night encounter. The child in her she never allowed to surface due to the pains embedded in her, the child that grew up too quick due to pain and agony, trying to hide her guilt, the guilt of pulling the entire family out that night, putting them in danger. Tears clouded her eyes and despite trying to blink them back severally, they fell in mass, her tears seems to be never ending ever since Jett makes the mysterious appearance in her life. "I'll make those fools pay!" She said angrily, tears still fallin
"Good morning sleepy heads."Chyna giggled out the words excitedly, staring at the two sleepy siblings wrapped in each other's arms. It's also eleven in the morning and these two are far from waking up. She knew they were exhausted and drained emotionally from all those drama that took place yesterday but they needed to get up and eat. They've not had anything tangible in their stomach since yesterday. So... It's time to wake them up! "Wake up you two or I'll sound the big bad trumpet and have your ears blocked for good!" She commanded jokingly, still looking at them. Aiden shifted, fluttering his open eyes to see Chyna making some dramatic movement of body and mouth, a smile carved on his face because unknown to Chyna, he and Cora had noise cancelation pod on so everything she's saying is inaudible for both of them."Why are you smiling? Get your lazy butt up, you're having your breakfast whether you like it or not." She stated firmly, her hands going akimbo. The amused expressio
Cora dine hurriedly in science, her small mouth getting stuffed with food. "Cora... manners?" Aidan warned, sipping from his glass of wine."I don't need to behave. I'm not in front of my boyfriend or something. I'm just eating in front of my brother and his friend. I don't really care how you two think I eat and why the fuck are you drinking instead of eating?" She asked, chewing the burger and relishing its flavor."I've taken something, just wanna top everything up with some old vodka collection I got from grandpa's collection. It's great but somehow strong. I'm seeing double already." He joked and she rolled her eyes."Stop exaggerating and let me concentrate on eating please." She pleaded, stressing the end of her statement."Be fast about it." He mused, taking the last alcohol with a gulp. "Are we going out?" She asked, surprise etched on her face, Aidan might have a hurried breakfast but he'd never asked her to hurry up and eat."No but we need to leave for the dungeon soon.
Anger danced around Cora's eyes, moving closer to Jett, a wide crazy grin covering her face, "you're cute you know, dangerously cute and guess what? I'm loving this shitty game you're playing."she murmured, her breath fanning Jett's face in a feather like manner, gently yet hot. "I told you baby, I can't say anything about the experiment. You can ask me anything and I'll try my best to tell you the truth but when it concerns the experiment... my mouth is sealed, you can kill me but I'll never say a word about it." He drawled, his eyes staring deep into hers. A soft chuckle escaped her mouth taking him by surprise but he quickly concealed it and decided to wait for her outburst. "You're gonna die Jett, I'll make sure of that so don't be in a hurry to die. You'll answer all my questions before I peel you off." "Ask your questions. I'm getting bored already." He mocked and she only laughed the most.She took a few steps backwards, drawing a chair from the corner, she dragged it lazil
A broad smile spread on Aidan's face seeing the blood seeping out of the gnash Cora did on Jett's thigh. "Now that's what I'm talking about! How can she play with words for so long!?" He asked with a deep throated chuckle and all Chyna could do was to stare at him. This man had been struggling with himself not to go into the other cell, it's still a wonder to her how he hadn't given her a punch yet because she'd been the one holding him down. "That's cruel and cool." She muttered, her eyes going towards the other cell."I know right. Now they're heading somewhere." He croaked, sitting down on the nearest egg chair with folded arms and attention fully on the other room. Chyna gave a low groan, a little smile playing on her lips... It's confirmed, she's living with people with crazy personalities. Cora stared at him for a few seconds, her face blank. "You know, with your face blank like that, I find it fucking difficult to read your expression. What's cooking in your evil mind lit
Cora's body shook when she heard what Aidan said, the anger burning in her intensified and she fought to bring her ranging cells into control. She hates that man, she hates Thanos and finding out that he was responsible for the hit that claimed her mother's life and making her childhood miserable makes her want to slit his throat and not allow him to die still. The whole room was dead silent, her body began to shake more violently and hot tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt a hand on her shoulder kneading it to calm her down but she's too angry, she's trying hard to control it but nothing is happening. "Cora. You need to chill. We got the name." Aidan muttered, his raspy voice sounding distant to her despite being so close. Another hand sprawled on her other shoulder, it was Chyna's. She muttered something to Cora but she couldn't comprehend it because she was far from them despite being so close. "Bloody mo'fucker, if anything happens to my father, I'm gonna kill you all! Y
Jett felt a painful sensation sprawling through him when he shouted in anger. The thought of those people killing his father had awakened some deadly energy that he'd always tried to keep deep within him. After the experiment, he'd felt something was wrong but after surviving it, the crazy scientists his father had hired were happy with their new almost super soldier. That's what the experiment was all about... Creating powerful unfeeling soldiers that would neither feel pain or hurt... In summary, they want to create powerful unfeeling soldiers but things have gone wrong with lots of the people involved in the experiment; it's either they die instantly or become something dangerous. He'd agreed to be part of the experiment because of his love for his father but when things began to go wrong, he'd called it quits in the experiment. He'd withdrawn from it because whatever was being done to him is tampering with his body and mind. Yes. His father deserves to die but they don't have
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? " A familiar masculine voice
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
