For the next five minutes of his life, Con watched a beautiful woman cry.She lay her head on his chest as they continued with the slow dance. Whoever was in charge of music had been timely enough to play some soft music.There was no particular need to hasten up their pace and her head on his chest suited the mood the music invoked.Lana's sobs were drowned out by the murmur of people and the clinking of glasses. The whole hall was in a buzz and Con could barely hear himself think. He had lost track of Jane too.He could see some of the young men and women pairing up. Flirting was at its highest and hands were already touching sensitive spots. Most of the women here just full on threw themselves at the men that approached them.They screamed the words "gold digger" to him.The lady in his arms didn't and quite honestly, Con didn't have any gold for her to dig.The thing that unnerved him the most was the way he and this lady looked like a couple. He could see their reflection whene

So it seemed attending the party had not been a total waste of time.Jane was ecstatic and offered to drive Con home, but Con had refused and simply told her to drive home safely. Jake and his men could have some more ideas and try to pull some stunts even after what they had done in the hall.Con didn't want Lana getting in the middle of it.He had revenge in his heart now, he had a lot of hate and a lot of anger, enough to burn the world ten times over.He wouldn't be doing anything to the world for now though, he would just lessen the population by a measly three people.If anything the world would be thankful that he decided to get rid of scum trash like Jake Caswell and his friends.Xavier's Cadillac still stood parked in the parking lot and Con found the other man asleep at the steering wheel. He sighed as he knocked on the window sharply three times and Xavier's eyes flew open. The doors came open with a solid click and Con slipped into the back seat.'"Stay sharp soldier."

Con wasn't mad at the whole thing.Just a bit annoyed that all this had happened while he was asleep and he was barely aware of it the whole time. They could have done so much more if he was awake. He could have taken her to the pinnacles of pleasure and shown her the way back too, but he had been asleep and he had let such a golden opportunity pass him by.Con sighed and looked around his room.Aubrey was right. The place was indeed filthy.Cleaning up wasn't an option this morning because he still had to go to work.Today was a Thursday and he didn't have a day off. Jane would want to see him and so would Adeline.With any luck, everyone at Nurain would want to see him and then they would laugh at him, for being so thoroughly humiliated and disgraced.No doubt some people would want to taunt him too, so he had to get to work and face all of this fast so he could come back home and start plotting.His enemy list had just increased with two more names. Jake Caswell and whatever th

Con arrived at Adeline's office to see he wasn't being tricked or trapped.Well he wasn't being trapped. Tricked though? Maybe a little.Adeline had done something to her office and it had changed since the last time he had been in here.To begin with, her table was cleared, there wasn't a single file on it and apart from that, there was a bucket of champagne.Right in the middle of the table.Adeline was dressed in the most alluring dress he had ever seen her in, a lot of skin was on show but there was also some layer of added modesty to it.She always looked prim and perfect, but her small face and luscious lips looked extra tempting today and the way she looked at him with so much innocence made him want to smirk at her and pull her into his laps.Adeline smiled at him and took her seat while Con killed that thought in his mind.Of course he couldn't do anything like that.If last night had taught him anything, then it was that he was at the very bottom of the food chain, and when

The ornate marble walls of the museum gave off a sleek feeling to the building.In fact it gave off a sleek feeling to everything that was in here.Jake followed the guard who walked ahead of him as he was led through the personal museum of the Aliyev family.Gabe and the other two members of the Black Clouds had advised him to come seek help from them.Jake had actually thought they would help him after they had humiliated him. After he had slapped Lana in the hall and Gabe had helped him disgrace the man that had been dancing with her, Jeremy and Clark had led him to a car parked just outside the grand double doors of the hotel.Melissa and his secretary, Hailey, had been waiting in the car for them.It was a four seat jeep, one that Jake had been eyeing for a while now but he couldn't afford if he wanted to see through with his plan of making Adeline hand over her company to him.He had been ushered into the car by his friends and the driver drove them to a hotel.Jake had followe
