The Marvelous Boss

Chapter-2 the Cure of Poison

        " Hey guys, let's not make things difficult for this cry baby. He just came here, so let's welcome him properly!" A fat man, wearing an eye patch and appearing vicious, who seemed to be the head of the inmates, shook his head pointing to Aiden. 

" You are right boss, let's welcome him properly!" 

" A very proper way!"

" That he won't forget!" 

The minions of the head of prisoners clenched their fists, cracking their knuckles, and they grinned as if they already find something interesting to do. 

Aiden looked up at them, despite his eyes clouded with nothing but tears, he sniffed pitifully, not getting what they meant. 

But there was a certain fear in him, which he couldn't decipher. 

Before the minions could do anything to Aiden, a loud bell ring interrupted them, and they all turned their heads backward. 

" Lunch is ready!" A chubby looking woman held the iron bar and announced loudly, making everyone to roar. 

Instantly, the food was passed to all the prisoners, and everyone started talking a bite.

Seeing this, Aiden blinked his eyes and looked around. 

Is this how his life will be from now on? 

It was at this time, his tommy rumbled, indicating he had eaten anything since morning. 

Then, he recollected how he had skipped his breakfast this morning, because he was in a haste to attend a programme. 

But Aiden shook his head, refusing to join the other inmates, and he turned his head sideways. 

But at the end, his stomach still betrayed him. 

" You better eat, so you don't die of hunger here!" 

" Please, don't let him eat it, I don't think he is hungry. I will just take his food rather." 

" Sure, a newbie like him doesn't deserve to eat. He has to work for us and suffer first!" 

Aiden just ignored them, even though he was so uncomfortable, and his tommy twisted in pain. Now, he knew he couldn't hold it anymore! 

So, he reached out to take his food, but before he could even touch it, the inmates kicked the food away into the thrash bin. 

Seeing this, Auden gritted his teeth and close his eyes to suppress the anger and pain in him, before he opened them again. 

Still without saying anything, Aiden went over to the thrash bin and picked up his food that was in there. Normally, he wasn't supposed to do this, but he wasn't ready to die yet. He still has to prove his innocence, even though nobody believed him. 

But just when he was about to take a bite from his food, the inmates suddenly gang up and surrounded him, shooting him vicious look. 

" Who allowed you take that food?"

" How dare you pick the food?" 

" Do you even know where you are hun? Punk!" 

" It seems you need to be deal with!"

Instantly, they all threw punched and kicked him anyhow like he was an animal. 

Aiden tried to defend himself, but he was no match for them, and soon he was battered with no mercy. 

He cried and cried, as a way of letting out all his pains, but he wasn't ashame at all. He felt frustrated and just wanted to die! The pain he felt was something unbearable and wished he didn't have to go through this.........

His hope was gradually fading away...........

" Boss," Someone called a familiar young sleeping man, with respect the moment he stepped into the room. 

" What is it?"

 Aiden sat up straight immediately and adjusted himself calmly with a frown. He had just woke up, and he could recollect he was having a bad dream about his past. 

That was 6 years ago, and how time flies, but the pain was still fresh and intact!

Recollecting what he went through back then, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, enraged, irritated, and betrayed! In fact, it was giving him an headache.......

" Boss, Lord Osric is sick, and at the moment, he is dying," the man who called Aiden earlier, said lowly, but audible enough for Aiden, with his head hanging low. " Also, I can say the answers you have been looking for is actually with him." 

Instantly, Aiden looked up at the person, who just spoke and frowned hard but didn't say anything. 

Answers?

In a villa, surrounded by beautiful short trees with wonderful and marvelous decoration, Aiden stepped into the compound quietly, his hands casually stuffed into his pocket. And he looked around the whole surroundings. 

" Hey, who are you, and what are you doing here?" A servant who appeared to be the guide, immediately ran towards Aiden and stood in front of him as if wanting to block him. 

Aiden just lowered his eyes at the guard and parted his lips slightly, " Am here to see the lord, am actually searching for a job."

" A job?" The guard repeated and snorted loudly. " Sorry, you came to the wrong place!" 

" Wrong place?" Aiden facial expression even relaxed more, and he crossed his arms on his chest. 

" Why is it the wrong place?"

" Do you want me to push you out?! I told you that you came to the wrong place, and you are still asking me this!" The guard flared up, snapping at the same time. " It seems you are not even scared! You have the gut to come here and act boldly like this?! What a joke!"

Aiden narrowed his eyes at the guard and pressed his lips into a thin sharp line. He was still calm and composed, but people who really knew him could say, he was now annoyed, but it was hard to detect. 

" Are you insane, or do I need to scream inside your head?! You are too lowly and just a peasant! And here, we don't accept peasants, not to even talk to them! So get out!" The guard seized Aiden up and down and even almost pushed him, as he gave him a look full of Irritation. 

Before anything else, the security guard was called, and he immediately left, running inside the villa like he was been chased. 

The security guard swiftly made his way into the living room, and this was when he noticed how tensed and awkward the atmosphere was. 

Everyone was worrying, and some were even busy praying, just for the Lord. 

They didn't know how Lord Osric fell terribly sick, and he didn't seemed to be breathing. This even made them more worried, and their hearts couldn't stop palpitating.

" Doctor, what's going on?" Cole, who happened to be the eldest son, asked the doctor, who was busy with checking Lord Osric's Condition. 

" Doctor!" He called again, this time, his voice more harsh since the doctor refused to answer him. 

The doctor didn't say anything and just ignored Cole. He wiped off the sweats that were already decorating his forehead and continued with his examination. 

He was using various advanced medical equipment, but none seemed to be working, and obviously, he was confused and frustrated. 

What could be going on? Lord Osric has been unconscious for some hours. 

At the same time, Aiden already left the compound and was now inside the villa. He knocked the door, but no one opened it. 

Then, he decided to push it open, but he didn't see anyone around. 

Well, maybe this was because Lord Osric is sick, and they are all worried for him, but are they really worried for him genuinely? 

He shook his head as he thought of that. 

There is nothing like unconditional love.....

It didn't take long before he got to where everyone was, and even he himself felt the tension of the room, but it was nothing to him. He noticed the awkwardness of the doctor and immediately knew the doctor was confounded.

Quietly, he went in between the family members that surrounded Lord Osric's body and observed the Lord's face, before he sniffed him. 

" Hey, who are you?" The doctor was surprised, and he frowned, wondering who was Aiden. 

" The Lord is not sick, he is poisoned." 

" What?!"
