Three years ago. . .
"Aiden, your life is in danger and we have to do something about it. I won't ever allow anybody to sit on this position because this is already yours in the first place." the Chairman said to his grandson.
"Chairman, I already accepted that my life is in peril. Let them do anything to my life, I won't give a fucking damn! After all, I am not scared of our traitor's antics." there is finality and bravery in his voice but he cannot hide the fact that he's still scared for his life. No matter how adamant and impenetratable he is as a man, he is still a human being who has a fear of emotion.
I will never be complaisant until the culprit/s show him/herself.
"Come and follow me."
Enzo's POVI quickly stood up from my sit with my mouth and eyes wide open when my mom agreed with what I said. We're currently in the living room conversing about what had happened to Aiden a few days ago and also discusses about Chairman's job offer."Are you sure, mom? My life is in danger, is that okay with you?" I asked repeatedly just to make sure that she's really fine with the offer."It's really fine with me, my son. The real concern here ain't us but you. Do you really like to accept the job? That's the question." I was stunned a little bit when she muttered that line and had me made a quick realization in my mind. My sister on the other hand was busy surfing on her cell phone."Just say yes, brother! It wou
Aiden's POVAmidst the deafening silent travel, Enzo suddenly opened his mouth to ask something. He's sitting on the backseat whereas I am comfortably controlling the steering wheel without tearing my eyes off the road."Uhm, Aiden, can I ask you a question?""You're already asking, Mr. Romero," I answered, deadpanned."Yeah, I know," he stealthily rolled his eyes not knowing that I've seen him through the rear view mirror. "Why are you so serious?" He smiled at me sheepishly and creased his head."And so If I am an inclement man? Does it bother your mind or even affects your livelihood? Does it make you wealthy?" I asked nonchalantly.
Enzo's POVI didn't waste any more time and immediately went outside the Gomez Robotics while carefully carrying the full blooded Aiden in my arms. Everyone in the company was getting chaotic due to the unexpected incident happened in the middle of the project's launch. It was such a perfect time to see the newly arrived rescuers the moment I reached outside. They helped me to lay Aiden on the gurney bed while making sure that we're adding no harm or pain to his condition. Chairman and I stepped inside the ambulance to accompany my boss."Don't panic," he reminded me as if nothing serious was happening at the moment. There's no even a single emotion plastered on his face which leave me frightened. Are they this immune to this kind of incident that it didn't even flinch them?On pins and needles. "What do you mean by don't panic? Chairman, your grandson's life is at stake, if you're not aware!" because of perturbation, I didn't notice my voice su
It's ten in the evening when I finally got home. The first person showed up in the doorway was my annoying sister."Oh, what are you doing here?" she asked in confusion as she opened the door for me. She thought I am going to stay at my boss' house."Ah, I'll tell you tomorrow, I am so fed up with the happenings this day and all I want is to regen through soundly rest. Anyway, where's mom?" I am busy taking my shoes off when I asked her where is our lovely mother."She's already sleeping. And you, I have cried a lot of tears this morning knowing you'll not stay here and yet look who's here?" she rolled her eyes mocking me before she headed the sofa and sat down."Did I even tell you to cry for my departure, didn't I?" I backfired but she just tsked in submission.I was about to go upstairs to have my rest when Lira suddenly tapped the space beside her thrice whilst showing no emotions."Sit down here and we'll talk about something." She made
It was past five in the afternoon when I decided to leave the main laboratory. This day really had my mind drained with loads of works. I really want to give myself a rest it deserves."Is Enzo really need to leave now?" Aiden 2.3 inquired when he saw me packing and cleaning my things on the table as I am already preparing myself to go home.It was such a relief to meet the end of my work for today's task. I sat on the same chair for nearly eight hours straight and it was really draining and tiresome though I am not that moving a lot.In spite of the tiring work, it was still a beautiful and satisfying day. I worked through the chips and I could proudly say that the whole process went smoothly and quite swift with the help of this metal man beside me. He really got the big portion of the whole process due to his advanced intelligence. Thanks to the inventor, he really created a breakthrough-worthy invention that world would surely love."Yeah," I answered
Some employees were secretly looking at us especially me who was still on the floor while lividly staring a CK. After a couple of minutes being on the cold tile, there was this one man behind me who offered a help to get me up. It was Janus."Please don't mind, Sir CK. Just ignore his stupidity. He really is a ball of craziness. He's not even worth of your curse so better off not minding him." Janus whispered to my ear while carefully helping me to stand up."Janus, teach that shameless man a lesson! He seems like he doesn't know who I am for him to rude me aroundㅡ" he wasn't able to finish his tempering line when the door to Chairman's office opened.A moment of silence engulfed us until Chairman Alberto broke it with his casual yet intimidating voice."Oh, so who do you think you are, CK?" the Chairman asked in monotone yet sarcastic voice while standing before his grandson.He looked at me first before glancing at Sir CK."You know, what
Past eleven in the morning when I decided to go back in the main laboratory to check on Aiden 2.3 and also to work on the chip. I find it more convenient working in the main laboratory because I have no worries in my head such as someone peeking at my work or someone's getting an idea to what I am doing which I was highly prohibited to spill information from other people aside the Chairman.Amidst the travel going to the main laboratory when I talk to Janus whose whole attention was laid on the road. He was deafeningly quiet since we left Gomez Robotics."Janus, why is it seems like you are very close to the Chairman?" I asked out of nowhere while I am profoundly settled at the back and looking at him in the rear view mirror."Yeah, to be honest, I've been working with the Gomez family since Aiden was a child. I also became one of his babysitter and a driver as well that is why I am very close to them. They are like a family to me already that I can't afford to
CK's POV C K I was insipidly sitting on the couch while looking at Aiden who's unconsciously lying in the hospital bed. It has been days since he was admitted here and still showing no implications yet a sign of waking up from long sleep. I hope this time my wish will be granted—hope you find your peace in death and will never go back again. "Chairman, what's your plan?" I asked authoritatively while freshly sitting down on the couch as if nobody's in the hospital hoping for his life to get back. "What do you mean?" he questioned back and seemed emotionless looking at Aiden. "Obviously, my younger brother is on his way to death
