Thursday Conor worked in the kitchen, doing his best to prepare breakfast before Jessica could blast bast him. He knew things were rough, but so far, this week things were going well at work so he hoped it was all about to turn the corner. Jessica came in, ignoring the eggs he was making and opened the fridge to find food. “Conor, this weekend is a Gala for the city. AperturePhoto is being recognized for their efforts and we are having many of the big businessmen gather. Nyman is going to be there, because of course the Banks family were big supporters of the Scavenger hunt. He has asked to take me.” Jessica said, as if it was no big deal. “And you told him no, I would be taking you right?” Conor asked, rather a

52: Targu Province, Prima Zadok Sudeas

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

Prima Zadok Sudeas sat in a large room with ornate carvings of golden dragons spiraling up onyx columns. The Prima, high priest of the whole Dragon Order, still didn’t feel that the throne chair he had commissioned was comfortable. “Why cann’t those damn craftsmen not make a single chair that feels right?” he grumbled, twisting and turning on the cushion. “If the Dovari we questioned are to be believed, they say the spirit of Abrasax will prevent any but the chosen Kendov can sit upon the dragon throne.” “But this is not even the dragon throne! This is my throne, the throne of the Prima! It has no ties to those dead dragons or their legions.” The monk shrugged, “To the gods, would they really care which chair mortals chose to sit upon? I think the belief i

53: The Gala

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

Early Saturday morning, Conor rolled out of his bed at Vokrizin. This suite was quite comfortable and he supposed it was a good thing, as it may be more common for him to sleep here if Cynthia ever tried to kick him out of his room again. Tonight was suppose to be the Gala. Conor wondered if perhaps Jess would finally realize how much effort he had been putting in for her and her family business. As he walked down to the parking lot, he looked at his new Sapphire SUV. “I really shouldn’t take that home…. Jess might get ideas…” Conor decided to call a cab to drop him at home, leaving the SUV at Vokrizin for the day. That evening as he was getting ready, he heard Jess shout. “Are you ready yet?” Jessica asked, waiting impatiently at the door. “Just a minut

54: What's the Damage?

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

Conor awoke to a strange buzzing. He rolled over and his hand found the lamp. As he clicked on the light, he didn’t recognize the room he was in. A red light blinked next to a toggle. He clicked it and a familiar voice filled the room through a speaker. “Well, where is he? Jess said that turd worked here.” “Yes, Mr. Brantley works here but it's early sir. I don’t believe anyone else is in yet.”

55: Targu Province, Temple of Abrasax

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

“Come along, Kerrigan, Dear,” sneered Prima Zadok Sudeas, the newly appointed high priest of the Dragon Thunder. Kerrigan Lokir slogged along in his wake, glowering at his tone. Before his ascension three years ago, Kerrigan was favored by all of the servants and monks any time she was in the temple of Abrasax. Somehow, this prick of a man had wormed his way to the top of all dragon worship from the dregs of Pinon Province of all places. Kerrigan cringed at the memories of Zadok all the way back when he was still a lowly priest, and she, just a small girl, orphaned at six. Read more

56: Shine brighter

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

As Conor finished up his shift on Tuesday at Jackson’s furniture, he stopped in to see Mr. Matthews. “Sir, do you have a minute?” “Of course, Conor. Come on in. Are you in a tight spot again? Need another advance?” Conor chucked, “No, but I want to thank you for doing that for me. Actually, several of my long-term plans are starting to pan out. So, if it is alright with you, I will likely stay with just part

57: When did you grow a spine?

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

When Tuesday night spice and salsa night rolled around, Conor found himself in a chipper mood as he placed the salsas on the table. “Well, there is a smile I haven’t seen before,” came a cheerful greeting from Peter as he walked hand in hand with Cara. Conor chuckled, “Well it's been one hell of a week and it's only Tuesday.” “Last we saw you it was the end of the world. How did we get from that to this che

58: Celia trains

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

After Anna left, Conor sealed himself in his room. “Celia. Any advice you care to share.” ‘Don’t feel like you are going mad anymore by talking to me?’ “Well, I may be mad, but you seem to still offer solid advice, even if I am talking to myself.”

59: Targu Province

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

Targu Province - Kerrigan's POV Kerrigan stormed her way through the temple complex. “What the hell does that blasphemer want with Celia anyway? If she doesn’t choose him, he will never be able to do anything more than wear the medallion.” A deep growling male voice retorted ‘He is a coward who seeks power. He falsely thinks possession grants the wielder power and might. He does not understand the true meaning of the power Celia grants to those she has blessed.” Read more

60: Franchise

Rejected Billionaire/Drew Archeron

Conor dressed in his Jackson’s uniform shirt and prepared to head out when a gentle purr greeted him from the bed. “You are still going to work at Jackson’s?” Anna asked from beneath the sheets. “We have things in hand here, you shouldn’t have to labor like that anymore.” “The exercise is good for me, and for now call it a cover. People love to underestimate someone doing such work. For me, it continues to be an opportunity to meet new people and to view them in a unique light. How they treat the floor s
