"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
AIDEN 2.3 - The Robot's Heartbeat CHAPTER 13: A Data Malfunction?
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
AIDEN 2.3 - The Robot's Heartbeat CHAPTER 14: Medical Record
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

I WAS BROUGHT BACK to reality when I felt a slimy-liquid substance dripping down my face. I slowly opened my eyes while laying on my back on the floor. The lights went back as to why the surroundings were brighter than they were before consciousness left my body. When my vision cleared, the first thing I saw was a man's face staring at me worriedly. His face was showing how worried and restless he was to see me in this position. My brow furrowed when I noticed how drenched he was from the rain, I suppose."Enzo, are you okay?" Aiden asked, fretfully. I wasn't able to give him my response when I noticed the bruises and breakages that showed some of the metals under the silicon skin."Wait, what happened to you?" Even though my body couldn't handle the pain I received from the culprit's hands, I still tried to lift myself up to check if he was okay. Unfortunately, my energy wasn't enough to get up.Because of too much attention to Aiden's situation, I didn't

THE HOURS SLIPPED BY SWIFTLY, but still my mind was alive. It was already twelve o'clock and I still couldn't seem to find my drowsiness. I knew how exhausting my day was, but I didn't understand why I couldn't sleep. While I was trying to find the right position to help me fall asleep, I suddenly heard the heavy rain fall on the ground. I sauntered to the window and open the curtain enough to see the outside view. The rain was pouring down heavily, as expected. Due to that, I woke up to grab a sweater inside the cabinet and went outside of my room. I was halted from going out when I saw Aiden's clothes screwed across the floor."Tsk, he's such a mess," I whispered to myself before taking all of them with me. When I got all of his clothes on the floor, I went straight to his room to put them back on him. I am not expecting him to sleep because he's a robot anyway.As soon as I opened his door, I peeked into his whole room to find him, but I didn't see Aiden. Because of
AIDEN 2.3 - The Robot's Heartbeat CHAPTER 24: Pervert Robot
I ALMOST WANTED to be sucked down by the floor where I was standing right now because of what Aiden did to his presentation. How could this metal man ruin my day in just the snap of a finger? And what I hated about myself was that I couldn't get mad at him. His innocence is so untouchable that I can't even face it. This is so unfair!"Nice one, Enzo! You have a taste, huh?" I almost hitched a breath when the technical department made fun of me. Why are they coming for me for this, huh?"Hey! You're interpreting everything wrong! How could you all be so uncultured—" I wasn't able to defend myself because they just kept on making fun of me. Because I couldn't handle it anymore, I immediately went in front. I was about to unplug the flash drive when Aiden quickly held my hand. In a span of seconds, the video presented on the monitor screen suddenly changed into the real presentation.I was rooted to my place with my mouth wide open due to dire flabbergast. Wh

After weeks of anticipation, the most awaited day has finally arrived. Today is November 27th, and Aiden will begin working at Gomez Robotics for the first time. After the long rest he had, this artificial intelligence was now ready to take on the mission. Aiden's return to the company has been the talk of the town since yesterday. News programs all over the country are watching and waiting for his official arrival. I heard from my co-workers that the company was surrounded by known medias. ***The number one company in the country that produces super advanced technological products is now trending because of the ultimate comeback of the heir named Aiden Gomez. ***The most advanced company in the country that is widely known in robotics is now welcoming the heir of Gomez Robotics.
AIDEN 2.3 - The Robot's Heartbeat CHAPTER 22: Naked Robot
ENZO'S POVThe time has finally come for Aiden to go home after weeks of being hospitalized. Actually, he can go home at any time, but for the sake of the show, we needed to stay for a few weeks. Aiden has no illness. He's a metal man, after all. The real heir was already in the main laboratory, so everything was all safe. Spending more weeks in the hospital makes the show even more believable. Because of this plan, we successfully turned the shareholders' attention to other things."Ah, chairman, where are we heading now?" I asked while we were inside his car."My house. Stay there for a while until I finally finish the task I needed to accomplish with Aiden 2.3. Afterwards, you can go to Aiden's house to continue the show." I just nodded to him and didn't ask any more questions."Chairman, you must have a grandiose mansion, I bet?" I suppose without tearing my eyes off outside the car.To be honest, ever since I started working a

CK'S POVWhen Chairman Alberto and his colleagues, especially Aiden's personal security named Enzo, had already exited the conference hall, I was left with a long and bad face. I was really ticked off by the fact that our plan ended up failing.I thought the chairman would be able to pass his position to my name right away, but we were blown away by his revelation. Aiden was still alive, which was something really fishy. I have seen with my two bare eyes that he was declared dead. I even saw how his heart stopped beating."What's that, CK?!" Mr. Wang and the shareholders shouted with killing intent in their eyes."We thought Aiden was already dead. Can you explain what we saw on the phone call?" They were really feroc

In no second, the news about Aiden's death suddenly circulated all over the country. It spread like a virus that plagued everyone and made them believe that Aiden was really dead. Chairman Alberto was right when he said those words to me back in the hospital.When I arrived at Gomez Robotics, the employees from the highest positions down to the lowest departments were all in massive chaos due to Aiden's death. The only unbothered person I noticed was Chairman Alberto."Come with me, Enzo. We have a shareholders' meeting," he said upon sauntering down the aisle ahead of me.Amidst passing by the hallway, the Chairman suddenly spoke his words, "I've done a lot in my life, Enzo. I am not the Chairman of Gomez Robotics for nothing." He looked back at me then smirked.
AIDEN 2.3 - The Robot's Heartbeat CHAPTER 19: Aiden's Death
My hands were shaking abnormally because of the Chairman's fidgets. The call he had a few minutes back turned him completely baffled and even gave him uneasiness inside his chest. When he stormed out of the room, I immediately followed him from behind until we reached the elevator.I can clearly see in his eyes through the reflection in the mirror how affected he was by the call. His hands were wobbling and so as his knees, but trying to fight against those physical reactions. This was the very first time I saw him on pins and needles. He really loves Aiden, that's for a certain.Although I knew already the reason why this was happening, still I want to hear it from the Chairman for solid assurance. I don't want to put in my mind the tough reality of the human Aiden. It was very clear to my knowledge that he didn't survive yet my mind d
AIDEN 2.3 - The Robot's Heartbeat CHAPTER 18: News
For the very first time in the centuryㅡtake note the exaggeration, finally, I saw Aiden's first ever emotion. I have been waiting for this moment since the day I saw him out of the glass capsule and now that I can really see it through his face? I must say he is ten thousand times better and attractive than the emotionless one.Before I was really having a hard time identifying which emotion he should apply in a certain conversation but now? It was really relieving to see the huge improvement in this invention. Aiden was still standing inside the glass cube while staring at me ferventlyㅡthe happiness in his face was still plastered on his face. It's contagious."Aiden?" I asked in the little microphone attached to my headphone while looking at him. Before he could even answer my question, he just slanted his head a little indicative of
