Chapter 23 LEGACY OF ELIMINATION

Chapter 23 LEGACY OF ELIMINATION
“And are you sure about this?” Aris Thorne hissed over the phone.

He was on call with the spy he had sent to find out who Alexander was. He wanted to know who the man was before he would enact his plan of removing the problem from his hospital.

“I’m positive sir. No medical school has heard of him. He’s a ghost. Either he didn’t go to a medical hospital to learn and he forged his certificate or he was so rich he got a private tutor to teach him all he knew and he passed his exams in flying colors.”

Aris sighed and thought deeply about this.

Just like Craig had said this man was a ghost. He had to find out who this Alexander truly was.

A knock came on the door as he looked up and frowned. “I’ll call you back,” he said, then cut the call and cleared his throat. “Come in.”

The door opened with his son Blaine coming in.

“What is it? Do you want something? I’m busy.”

Blaine nodded while standing awkwardly at the door, “I came here to make a complaint.”

The man rolled his eyes and leaned back, folding his arms across his chest. “Another complaint. Let me guess… Alexander.”

“Yes, him.”

Aris nodded then waved his son inside as Blaine fully entered the room, sitting down in the seat opposite his father.

“What is it this time?”

“The way he carries himself,” the boy started to say, “he carries himself like he’s the god of everything. Just because he saved a couple of people he thinks that he’s better than everyone.”

It was then Aris raised a brow and sighed again.

He couldn’t believe his son was so much of a pussy he couldn’t solve his problems on his own. 

“I watched the video over and over again Blaine. How could you try to stop him from saving people?”

“Father I…”

Aris raised a hand to stop him.

“If anybody was to watch that video, it could ruin our family.”

“But father…”

“Shut it!” Aris growled at his son. He slowly got to his feet and walked to the window, putting his hands behind him and looking out.

“I have spent years building our empire. Building something that one of these days you and your sister is going to inherit, but every single time I look at the both of you, I only see disappointment.”

Blaine gulped where he stood. This was not how he had expected his father-son moment to go.

“I expected you to know better. I expected you to have the mind, the mental fortitude to be able to push through what anybody says. I expected you to rule these people, not whine to me about every obstacle, instead of reaching my expectations, you make me do things that I shouldn’t be doing at my age.”

Aris turned back to look at his son with a stern look on his face.

“I'm over here fighting your damn battles. Your fucking battles. Do you know how embarrassing it is for Craig to show up and try to talk me out of the decisions I’ve made because of you?”

Blaine could see that his complaints were getting to his father as he nodded and looked down to his knees.

“Alexander is a threat,” Aris went on. “Yes I can see that… but you, my son, you've gone through multiple hard times in your life and you’ve come out unscathed. Now instead of running to me for every single problem, I expect you to fix it yourself.”

Blaine looked up with a sharp look in his eyes. He had a resolve made of steel. His father had hammered that into his head and he was ready for action.

“I will stop complaining further and start fixing it.”

“Good,” Aris heaved a sigh of relief. At least his son wasn’t that clueless. “Now he is a problem that needs to be taken care of. The way you took care of the others is the same way I want you to take care of this one. Just make sure you’re not caught. Make sure you are in the clear. I hope you’re getting me.”

“Yes father. I won’t let you down.”

“I know you won’t.”

Both of them had an end goal in mind and that was to remove Alexander permanently from the hospital. Whatever method that was used was not Aris’s problem. He just wanted Alexander gone. 

Blaine got to his feet with a glint of hope in his eyes to get back his honor as he bowed to his father and walked out.



Blaine got out of the hospital building and got into his car. With a push of a button, the windows had turned from clear to tinted. With what he was about to do, he didn’t need anyone to know his plans.

He dialed a number he had vowed not to call as the person picked up on the third ring.

“For a second there I thought you weren’t going to pick up,” he chuckled nervously as a growl came from the phone. 

“Blaine Thorne. It’s been a long time,” a deep voice came forth which scared Blaine.

“Yes it has. I have a job for you. I need you to take care of someone for me.”
