Aidan locked eyes with his grandfather, as he sat down again. He wanted to ask what it was that his grandfather found out but he decided to let the man tell him everything at his own pace.
"The accident which claimed the life of your parents was all planned." Revealed Mr. Kal.
Aidan's eyes widened in shock and there was a questioning look on his face.
"Your father's business partner's hand work. When your parents attended the party organized in honor of their child's third birthday, they tampered with their car. You were just five years then if memory serves me right. I was enraged when I found out that their accident was planned and I decided to ruin them." His voice was now full of anger and Jonas quickly told him something in Greek and he calmed down.
"I was planning on their ruin when I received the news that you were found. You were washed offshore and found by a fisherman who took you to the hospital, from there an orphanage took you in when you couldn't answer any questions that might help the security find your family. I was happy that my daughter's blood still breathed." He said as he looked at Aidan and smiled.
Aidan smiled back but deep in him, he was pained.
"Your father's business partner maneuvered the business and made himself CEO. I found out that your father had made a will in which 70% of his property belongs to you and the remaining 5% of his share was to be given to charity organizations, but all these were to happen once you are 30 and in their absence was in charge." He explained.
"When you know I was in the orphanage, why didn't you come for me?" Aidan asked, pain evident in his voice.
"I didn't come for you because I believed you're in a better position to avenge your parent's death." His grandfather answered calmly.
Aidan arched an eyebrow and looked at his grandfather, he was trying his best to control his anger but he was balanced on a sword's edge and any little provocation now will trip him off just like a time bomb.
How can his grandfather allow him to see hell despite knowing where he is? "I could have vengeance while I'm still with you, had I been with you, I'll have had my vengeance for all those wasted years of my life."
"You can't call all those years of your life wasted son, you have become strong and courageous while you were away from me. You had become a man of your own, you lived your life on your terms, how could you call all those years wasted? It wasn't wasted, you were building yourself." His grandfather explained calmly.
Aidan couldn't just understand anything, his grandfather could have ruined the lives of those responsible for his daughter's death, why did he want him to do it? Questions began to pop up in his mind again.
"Here. Take a look at this." Mr. Kal said, handing him an envelope.
He opened it and found out that it was the result of his DNA result, it proved that they were indeed related.
"Do you have any other motive for keeping me in the orphanage apart from me learning to be a man of my own?" Aidan asked, dropping the piece of paper on the side table beside him. He took a look at the file his grandfather had dropped and suddenly he felt the urge to take it and look at the pictures of the monster that ruined his perfect family but he decided to let things be. He doesn't think he's ready to see such a monster.
"Our family lineage is known to put forward different tests to know if truly the male son is worthy enough to handle the family empire and survive any given situation. So, I never really abandoned you, I kept track of your life from the day I found out that you were alive." He explained, looking straight into his grandson's eyes, Aidan immediately lowered his eyes.
"I meant no harm for you and I never let any harm befall you. Take everything that happened to you as a test. You are my hope and only heir, I could never allow any untoward tragedy to befall you." Mr. Kal added.
Aidan needed something to calm his nerves, and he saw the remaining glass of wine his grandfather drank before, he took it and gulped it down in one go.
"Aidan, your grandfather meant no harm to you. I've been working for him for as long as I can remember, he never let me out of his sight, but he asked me to come to look after you and that has been my job. I've been his eyes when it comes to you. In everything he does, it was all to test your capabilities." Jonas interfered in the duo discussion for the first time since they started talking.
Aidan smiled a thank you to Jonas and Jonas nodded.
"What's next?" Aidan asked, noticing his grandfather's silence.
"I'm dying Aidan." Came the silent answer.
Aidan looked at his grandfather, and the man stared at him back. Why was his grandfather talking about dying? The man still looked pretty good though frail.
"My immune system had been very weak and my health started failing from the day your mother breathed her last. Artemis was my life and I regretted every single thing I did when she made her choice of groom. Had I accepted her choice, my goddess would still be with me today, but in the quest to make her bow down to my worthless demand, I lost my life." Mr. Kal explained in a pain -sickening voice.
"What has happened has happened, sir. We can't change destiny but we can try to make it better. I know it's hard for you but everything happened for the best. Look on the bright side and quit talking about death. You can't leave me now, I've lost everything I ever considered my own, my wife's family turned out to be a crook who is only after my talent, they deserted me when I needed them the most. I'm very bitter towards them and I'll make sure they pay heavily for whatever they did to me." Aidan swore, folding his hand in knuckles due to anger.
His grandfather saw the blazing fire of anger in his eyes, he could see the rhythm of vengeance vibrating in his grandson's body, and deep within him, he was overflowing with joy. This is what he needs to see, this was why he left him in the orphanage so he'll grow, he had no ounce of regret in him that he had not taken him in when his parents died.
Mr. Kal made eye contact with Jonas and smiled.
Jonas swallowed a big gulp of saliva, he knew that the next revelation would erupt the boiling volcano in Aidan.
"Aidan." His grandfather called.
"Yes, sir," Aidan answered, trying to compose himself.
Mr. Kal still doesn't like the way Aidan addresses him but he doesn't seem to show it again, things will adjust in no time, he kept assuring himself.
"Your father's business partner, Mr. Orion, with the help of his dubious wife, took over your family's business shortly after their demise. They had this fear that I'll come and ruin their plan but I made no move, so they thought that I truly had no interest in my daughter and her family again. I let them think that they got away with their crimes against me, you, my daughter, and your father. They made the business their family business and named it after Mr. Orion's lineage." He continued.
Aidan couldn't understand how someone could be so wicked to another fellow man. What is he even insinuating, his wife's family had done the same to him, he'd helped them, and in the end, what kind of payment do they wish him? Death. He answered the question that arose in his mind.
His grandfather took the file from the table and opened it. He brought out an envelope and handed it over to him. "In that envelope, are the pictures of your family murderers."
Aidan's thoughts ran a marathon and he could swear his hands shook, he opened the envelope and brought out the pictures, he looked at the images staring back at him, and his world plowed into confusion, as the pictures fell from his hands. Those faces look very much familiar.

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
215.
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
