章 180: Mutual benefits.
*bam*
Tessiana barged into the study room.
Aiden was sitting at the desk with few laptops opened up on the desk.
There were also some papers at the desk and he was also holding a file on his hands.
"What is the meaning of this, Aiden!" Tessiana raised her voice as she walked over towards the desk.
Standing before the desk, Tessiana once more raised her voice with an angry expression on her face.
"What the hell, do you think you are doing!"
Aiden putting the file on the desk removed the glasses he was wearing.
"What do you mean, my love? I don't follow." Aiden calmly replied looking at his beloved.
"You damn well know what I mean and what I'm talking about!"
"Don't play games with me, Aiden."
Tessiana stared at her husband.
She just found out some very important matters regarding their family, especially their children.
"How can you decide something like that without even consulting with me!" Tessiana yelled at her husband.
She was on the verge of uncontrollable anger and destroy everything around her.
Tessiana feels Aiden has gone too far with his actions.
"Aaron is the heir to the Blood Throne. Soon he will formally enter the world of Sacred noble society. He is 18 years old, Tessiana. He is the future of the Blood family, so he should have someone capable by his side. Someone who will be his strength and be his companion who will help him lead the Blood family. He is at the right age, so yes, I have arranged an engagement with the Rothschilde's. I see nothing wrong with my arrangement as this is what we have originally planned for our son, Tessiana." Aiden said to Tessiana as he tidied up the papers on his desk.
"Heir to the Blood throne? He has not even accepted the 'Blood Token' yet, Aiden! Yes, that's what we have planned originally but later have we not decided that they get to live their life as they wish and we will not interfere with their life? Have you forgotten what we have agreed on, Aiden? The Rothschilde's? Since when were you on good terms with the Rothschilde family? Nothing wrong with your arrangements? Everything is wrong with it! Give me an answer, Aiden. Why have you not consulted with me before agreeing on arranging the engagement with the Rothschilde family!" Slamming her hands on the desk, Tessiana demanded.
"Things have changed, the times have changed. To protect my family, I must do what is right for me to do, Tessiana. My decisions are better for our family. Yes, they are drastic changes but it is necessary for our safety. The Rothschilde girl is a good match for Aiden. I Don't think, Tessiana. I know it will benefit not just the Blood family but Aaron as well." Aiden said gazing directly into Tessiana's eyes.
Tessiana stared at her husband, she felt like she is talking to a stranger. The person she knows is still there, but that person has changed. She can't recognize her love anymore.
"Aiden Blood, do not make me your enemy!" Tessiana said slowly as she gazed into Aiden's eyes.
"I'm not your enemy, Tessiana. I'm just a man who is trying everything he can to protect the family he has."
"If you think that your activities with the Johnson's, the rest of the Blood family as well as the Shelby's can deceive me? You're wrong. You're not the only one who can play this game, Aiden."
Tessiana turned around and left the study room.
Just as she left the study room, Aiden picked up a call.
"Hello, Billie." Aiden greeted the person who called him.
"Sir, forgive me for disturbing you at this hour but we have a situation here in Texas."
Aiden frowned hearing Billie.
He had a sinking feeling that Tessiana is related to what Billie is about to say.
"Tell me what's wrong Billie?" Aiden asked.
"Sir, Mr Rodriguez has been killed. He has been found dead in his hotel room, head severed from his body."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, sir."
Hanging up the call, Aiden leaned back on his chair.
He assumed that Rodriguez's is Tessiana's doing.
When he decided to act, he knew the consequences of his actions.
Aiden deeply sighed before muttering to himself.
"Our sins should not be passed onto our children, Tessiana...It should not."

At the study hall of the great library in Carson Elites.
Aurora sat at the table, where Kieran was studying.
"I believe we are not friends, so why have you joined me at my table?" Kieran asked Aurora who sat at his table without his permission.
"Why are you here?" Aurora asked Kieran.
"As you can see, I'm here to study." Kieran pointed at his books before replying.
"I'm not asking about that, you know what I mean!"
Takashi also came and joined at the table sitting beside Kieran.
"I'm here to make you fall in love." Kieran replied to Aurora in a monotone voice with a neutral expression in his face.
"Haha, very funny! Seriously, why are you here?" Laughing briefly after hearing Kieran's words, Aurora asked again with a serious look in her face.
"As I said, I'm here to make you fall in love with me. Believe it or not, it's all up to you." Kieran replied before he went back to his study mode.
Aurora turned to Takashi before asking him.
"Why is he here?"
Takashi sighed before telling Aurora the same words that Kieran has said to her.
"To make you fall in love with him."
Aurora fell silent, before laughing.
"This is the biggest joke I've heard this year! Hahaha."
Takashi shook his head before telling the two of them.
"Why don't you two work together? You two have a mutual goal, the destruction of the Johnson family. Isn't better if you two work together?"
Hearing Takashi's words the two of them made a disgusted face feeling repulsed by the idea of working together.
"I'm not working with this hypocrite!"
"Neither am I working with this arrogant conceited woman!"
Two looked at each other before snorting at each other.
"What is the goal of the Johnson family with this?"
"They want to take you hostage and if that doesn't work then they want to kill you. You're a threat to everyone including your brother since you're quite an ambitious woman."
"I see. That's understandable, people always feel inferior when they stand before a true noble."
Kieran and Takashi rolled their eyes at Aurora's words.
Takashi turned to his best friend before speaking up.
"If you don't want to work with her, why are you giving her the information she needs?"
Replying to Takashi, Kieran said.
"I'm using her. It benefits me if she causes trouble to the Johnson family. Taking advantage amid chaos is what I excel at Taki-Kun."
"We won't be friends nor we will be partners. It's good if we use each other for our goals. I heard there's a chain of hotels under your brother at country Y." Aurora said to Kieran.
Understanding what Aurora plans to do, Kieran offered.
"80-20, I will be the majority holder."
Aurora narrowed her eyes before she went into deep thought.
Takashi beside Kieran had a flabbergasted look in his face staring at his best friend.
Turning to Takashi, Kieran only shrugged saying.
"I'm a hypocrite, what do you expect of me?"
Takashi sighed in response to Kieran's words.
Opening the bottle of water in front of the table, Takashi started drinking water to moisten his dry throat.
"I'll go out with you for appearance's sake. Also, 80-20 and I'm the majority holder."
"Pfft." Takashi spewed out the water he was drinking hearing Aurora.
Kieran was also surprised by Aurora's offer.
He took some time to think for himself before countering Aurora's offer.
"60-40, I'm the majority."
"I'm Aurora Blood, a one of a kind genius, the most talented person in all of Sacred Noble families and clans history! I'm bringing you many benefits with my name alone and also my reputation is at interest. 70-30, I'm the majority."
"Aurora didn't you say, you won't work with him? And you, you're a greedy son of a ba*tard." Takashi said hearing them negotiating.
"I'm not working with him, I'm using him. The business partner is my brother, not me. The Johnson's are an eyesore and I want to get rid of them. They are a threat to me and my brother. If I can use him to get back at the Johnsons then I benefit greatly. However, I'm indeed offering him too much but it's a risk I have to take. And yes, he is a greedy bas*ard. A *beep beep* guy with *beep beep beep*!" Aurora replied to Takashi looking at Kieran who is thinking about her offer.
"Thank you for the compliments. I appreciate the words you have said to me."
Takashi turned to Kieran and gave him a look.
"Really?"
"Sounds like compliments to me." Kieran said shrugging before countering Aurora's offer.
"50-50."
"60-40 and I'm the majority! Also, I will take an extra 27% of the net profit for the first 5 five years separately." Aurora.
"Now, that is a good offer." Takashi nodded after hearing Aurora's offer to Kieran.
Kieran thought for a few moments before he replied.
"Deal."
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm here to study!" Raising his voice bit, Kieran said to the two of them.
"Jerk!" Aurora commented before turning to Takashi.
"Kaz, I'm hungry. Food!"
Hearing the word 'food' Kieran turned to Takashi making a puppy dog face.
"I want food too!"
"Aren't you studying?"
"Studies can wait but food can't!"
Sighing, Takashi told the two of them to follow him to a nearby restaurant.
Aurora and Kieran doesn't get along with each other but for Takashi's food, they can compromise making a temporary peace among themselves
