His grandfather looked at him and noticed his worried facial expression," Aidan, don't stress your thoughts over this, you'll get to know everything in due time." His grandfather assured him.
"I'm sorry sir, I just found all these revelations baffling," Aidan confessed.
Mr. Kal's face looked displeased, and Aidan saw it and got confused, "did I say anything to upset you, sir?" he asked.
"It's nothing, son." Came the sharp reply.
Aidan shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Mr. Kal studied Aidan's face and liked what he saw, his grandson is a good observer. He didn't like the fact that his grandson addressed him as 'sir' and he was greatly displeased by it. Aidan had noticed this but he wouldn't let him know he was displeased, he had to be sure that he meant well to him.
The room went quiet, and it was interrupted by the sound of Jonas's footsteps, "here is the file sir." Jonas said, handing over a file to Mr. Kal.
Mr. Kal dropped the file on the table in front of him.
"I've kept a record of all your father's business partner movements since my agent found something suspicious about him. Your father's business proposition was one of the best for my company, so I decided to set him on the right track. I was still not happy with them but my anger is nothing compared to Artemis happiness. I set up his own company for him and he stands on his own, he'd have been able to pay back the loan that his friend gave him but out of his goodness, he decided to help him by giving him 15% of his company share. That was way more than the loan." He paused due to a little cough.
Aidan quickly offered him his glass of water, Mr. Kal wanted to reject it again but Aidan thrust it into his hand and held it to his mouth, Mr. Kal had no choice, he gulped down half of the water offered, "you've got to allow an old man live on his old term. You're stubborn, just like Artemis." Mr. Kal said, giving a short laugh.
"Water is better compared to your fine wine, sir. And pardon me for forcing you to have a drink, it's important." Aidan apologized.
"You see that Jonas, that's my daughter in him talking, always forcing me to do what I don't like and apologizing later for forcing me." He said as he looked at Jonas who seems to be affected emotionally by the two, "oh, Jonas. Quit that look already." Mr. Kal said when he noticed Jonas's facial expressions.
Mr. Kal cleared his throat and continued his narration.
"Mr. Orion's wife is a greedy woman and with her influence, her husband became like her, she influenced her husband in no time. I was still helping my son's in-law business indirectly, the family never knew I was the anonymous man helping them till their last breath." Pain seems to contract the man's voice as he mentioned the death of his daughter.
Aidan placed his hand on his grandfather's arm instinctively, and their eyes locked. The old man felt little relief and he continued his story.
"The business was making huge profits and gaining recognition around the world within a few years of its establishment and it began to have branches across the world. Despite all the success, my daughter wasn't happy because she's been married for eight years without a child, her husband stood by her and always assured her that God will bless them soon. Your father and his business partner's family formed a great bond and started living together under one roof."
"They both lived together like family but the Orion family was destroying my daughter. Artemis was a decent girl before she got married and I found no reason for her inability to birth a child, so I sought help from my best doctors. They went to Ireland and examined both of them, not many questions were asked because the family was in dire need of a child and any help was welcomed. I strictly forbid them from mentioning my name."
"I found out that Artemis's reproductive system was being contaminated with drugs that can destroy her womb. Without a second thought, I knew exactly whose work it was. Your father took Orion's family as his own because he was orphaned from birth. The Orion family had become greedy and they hatched a plan to destroy what they termed as their nemesis and they started by making sure the Luke family had no heir to their business empire." Mr. Kal took a pause again.
"I was pissed off, but I know better. I made contact with the man supplying the drugs to Mr. Luke's wife and made him change the drugs to some vitamins and within a few months, my Artemis was pregnant, you were birthed and it was the most joyous moment for my princess. I can't say the same for those evil seeds living with them." Mr. Kal said, making a deep throaty chuckle.
"The Orion family moved out of the house and traveled to the United States to handle one of the business branches there. I thought they gave up because they stopped plotting against them and focused on their own little family. The wife got pregnant too shortly after they settled in the United States. I stopped keeping an eye on them and was thinking of paying a visit to my daughter and her family, to reveal myself to them and tell them I've accepted them when the news struck me." Mr. Kal stood up and continued.
"My Artemis and her family were involved in a car accident on their way to the airport, after paying a visit to Mr. Orion's family, and it killed all in the car instantly. I was in deep shock and agony, but God gave me a glint of hope when you weren't found at the accident spot. I quickly created a search party for you." He said, referring to Aidan whose face was calm and composed.
"There was no news of you, but I did find something shocking, which wasn't a surprise." He confessed and looked down at his grandson.

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
