Three more bullets had been shot at the building before Con could convince the male HR manager to hand him a gun.John looked at him warily before handing him the gun."How are you sure you're not going to kill someone?"Con repressed a sigh and ran his hand through his hair instead."I know what I can do with a gun, I also know what type of weapon is being used to fire those shots and trust me when I say whoever is shooting at the building isn't joking. They're going to seriously hurt someone if we do not take action."The male HR manager still didn't seem convinced and Con didn't really blame him to be honest.Handing over a gun to a security guard was against the rules. Con was a low rank security guard too and to the best of John's knowledge he probably had no training, a short temper, and he was always goofing around.Even he wouldn't hand a gun over so hastily to someone that behaved the way he did. But there were a lot of things that the HR manager didn't know about him and th

Lana Caswell was the wife of Jake Caswell.She was known for her good looks and top notch skill as an actress. She had starred in many movies both in Glover City and a number of international blockbusters, and she had married Jake out of obedience to her parent's wishesLana had grown up in Glover city herself and so had her parents. They were grimly determined to make sure that she had a say in the affairs of the city, and since the mayor's son was already married, they arranged a meeting for her and Jake, and subsequently they had arranged their marriage too.Jake had treated her like she was the world at first and for a moment Lana had actually thought that she would come to love him and build a family with him, but she knew better now and it hurt her that she did.It really hurt her.Lana looked around at the house. Her house.This was the house her parents had gifted her and Jake after their marriage. It would have gone to her brother, if he was still a part of the family and on

Xavier couldn't believe his eyes. He had found his boss. The smile on his face was a weird one. It was one that was mixed with fear and happiness, and he felt like crying. This was his boss! The legendary God of Mercenary. Leader of the Teutonic knights. His boss was right here before his very eyes, and he was in a guard's uniform? Con on the other hand felt like spitting blood. To begin with, how had Xavier found him? He was using an old fashioned telephone and an article he had read once said signals from such phones were much harder to trace. And there was also the question of why had Xavier come to find him too? If it was anyone else, Con would have felt anger rushing through him at the fact that his orders had been disobeyed, but he never got angry at his men because they never disobeyed his orders. Their relationship was simple like that. For Xavier to be here, something had to have happened, or something was about to happen. Adeline and Jane passed inquisitive look

Jane let Con get off work early after the fitting.Con hadn't known that the female HR manager had actually arranged a suit fitting for him. He could have acted offended and accused Jane of thinking he was so poor that he didn't have a proper suit, but that would have been silly of him because he really didn't have a proper suit. He was piss poor, and he hadn't needed one up until this moment. Plus he knew that Jane just wanted him to look his best to the party, hence the fitting.Con walked home and ignored the car following him.He knew it would be Xavier's car but he wasn't ready to see him yet. He hadn't figured out a good enough punishment for the man. When he did, then maybe he would look Xavier's way, if only to deliver his punishment.To be honest Con wasn't really mad at him, at least not at the fact that Xavier had somehow found him after he had told the other man that he didn't want to be found. Con was actually happy to see that Xavier was doing well for himself.He lo

Soft music poured out of hidden speakers, and waiters milled around catering to the needs of the populace. The clinking of champagne flutes and the chatter of high end aristocrats poured into Con's ears and he groaned at the fact that he could hear everything so loudly.This party wasn't turning out the way he expected.Jane hadn't really filled him in on the details of the party and he hadn't really bothered to ask.That had been a mistake.This wasn't a party at all. It was a gathering of politicians and all the other people who knew those politicians. In essence, this hall was full of rich and greedy people who wouldn't stop looking at him and asking who his father was.Con tipped his champagne flute to his lips again and took a small sip.He didn't like the taste. Everything tasted sour tonight.Most of the women here looked at him like they would rather be somewhere else with him, and with how bored he was getting, Con felt he might just take one of them up on the offer.This p
