Chapter 33

Aiden was the first to go through the test. They checked him physically and his internal organs " Everything is stable sir " Lisa reported

" we move to test B " they began the test on his powers. they tested every aspect of his power and Aiden passed it with ease even the ones Riley feared for him, he ended up impressing her. " is there any improvement?" he asked Lisa with eyes focused on Aiden who performed below them.

" yes Dr Wilson. " looking at the monitor " he improved by 5% " she announced

" that is a good improvement " Linda acknowledge

" Indeed it is " Wilson agreed with Linda. they looked at each other and gave a suspicious smiles. Riley didn't take note of this because she was focused on Aiden who was now climbing the stairs, making his way towards them " Riley you are up " Wilson instructed. Riley frowned because she didn't even get the chance to say hi to Aiden. she walked past Aiden giving him one final look as she remembered what he told her to do.

She still couldn't understand why Aiden told her to do so but she trusted him and did as she was told. she believed that what Aiden did was to protect her. but from what? what was he not telling her

After scanning her internally every one was stunned by the level of energy inside her " this is unbelievable" Lisa spoke while Wilson smiled proudly

" she is even stronger now," Wilson said in a low tone

" how is she still alive? Is she supposed to explode or something" Lisa exaggerated " she is far more powerful than Aiden "

" Aiden's power comes from her and hers comes from the main source. that is why she is very important to us. " Wilson's words made Aiden's heart stop for a few seconds. indeed she was very important to him and this is because they need her to make more of them. she is the only one that can because her power comes from the main source. he has to figure out a way to stop this without getting Riley involved. with her making Riley have him

" we move to test be " Wilson announced

they move to the next test. Aiden was glad to see that Riley didn't do what he told her to do. she made many mistakes and destroyed everything at a point Wilson told them to stop before she goes too far

" she still doesn't have control," he said sadly looking at Linda

" yes. and this may slow use do "

" it will. but we can't take risks. we need to start training her immediately." Looked down at Riley who looked tired. she sat on the floor and played with her fingers " Aiden go and get her " he instructed

" yes sir " with that Aiden walked away

" The training shouldn't be taken tough because she may refuse, " Wilson said

" if she refuses then we will use the hard way. I don't get why you are being Sweet with her. who cares if she doesn't agree with what we what her for? we can put her in control like Aiden "

" Linda?" Linda rolled her eyes that Wilson " she is my daughter remember?"

" yes, Wilson. I know "

" I can't do that to her "

" well a time will come and you will have to " With that Linda walked away

They wrapped everything up by7 pm. Riley was told to return home and she dragged Aiden along with her. they two didn't say anything to each other until they got to the house Riley opened the door and entered while Aiden Followed behind her closing the door after him. he turned around and was shocked to see Riley still standing in front of him with arms crossed like she was waiting for her husband to get up.

" Is there a problem?"

" yes, Aiden. there is a problem " she said " there is something you are not telling me. spill it out " Aiden smiled at her

" oh come on Riley." reaching for her hand immediately she stepped back so he won't touch her, she wanted him to know that she was serious. Aiden felt hurt by her behaviour" Riley there is nothing"

" don't lie to me Aiden. of all the people in my life, you are the one I trust. I did as you ask even when I didn't know why so I don't expect you to lie to me. " she had a very serious tone

" Riley there is nothing" he reached for her again and she stepped back again making him frown. he wanted to hold her and she won't let him " Riley?"

" tell me what it is Aiden. or you can just go back " Aiden was in shock. " it can to my notice that you have been acting strange since we go here. not just since we got here, since Linda came for us. you looked worried. I asked if you were alright you said yes. I can see it in your eyes that something is wrong and you are always nervous around my father. what is it Aiden?" Aiden remained silent for a long time while they stared into the eyes of each other

" Riley. I can't tell you what it is " he finally spoke

" why?"

" I just can't Riley. am afraid" Riley's heart melted at his words. did he just say that he was afraid. " afraid that you will hate me Riley. " in a very low broken tone

" bu...but.. " completely speechless " I can never hate you Aiden"

" you will and it scares me. my life have been meaningless until I met you, Riley. you gave me reasons to live and without you, I will be empty ones again " He spoke like he was about to break into tears " just trust me Riley I will find a solution to it please" he took a step forward wanting to reach for her but she moved back " Damn it " He grabbed her hand pulling her towards him as her body crushed into his. he wrapped his arms around her hugging her like she was going to disappear the next minute " it hurt me when you resist me like that " whispering into her ear " it hurts " with honesty in her tone

" oh Aiden " her voice was calm and smooth

" Please don't do that " he begged " I promise it's nothing just trust me and do as I say, ok "

" ok " she wrapped her arms around his shoulders hugging him as well " I will trust you " they remain like this for a few minutes in silence until Riley broke the silence " Aiden? "

" yes "

" am hungry " Aiden bust into laughter as he pulled away " I am hungry and it is funny"

" no not at all " Riley pushed him wanting to walk away immediately he pulled her back " what will you like to eat " smiling

" fish sandwich" with an excited tone

" done " he held her hand and lead her to the kitchen

" you know the house" with an eyebrow raised

" Why won't I " he responded and she shrugged
