A TEST FOR MAVERICK. °°°It was the middle of the month and the morning light sprawled over streets, golden and reluctant, as Maverick and Bridget strolled hand in hand through a quaint village. The breeze blew with the scent of freshly baked bread and the low hum of distant chatter. Bridget’s laughter, a soft trill, cut through Maverick’s thoughts, anchoring him to the moment. Yet, beneath his tailored suit, an unease coiled like a serpent.There had been too many accidents. A miscalculated transaction in Zurich, a suspicious delay in Venice, and now, a malfunctioning elevator in Paris that nearly trapped them. Coincidences, Bridget had assured him, but Maverick’s instincts whispered otherwise.As they boarded a train to their next destination, a shadowed figure lingered on the platform. Kendrick, cloaked in anonymity, watched their every move. His presence was a spectre Maverick hadn’t fully confronted, a ghost from Bellerive now intertwined with his gilded life.The train rumbled

He felt the world around him was swirling, he couldn't understand why Kendrick had to travel and then allow his wife, not just a mistress at his care. He hurried into the yard and dicovered that Bridget hadn’t returned yet. She was off somewhere, chasing something that she never spoke of, always moving, always looking. He remembered how she used to tell him, with a grin, that she was a collector of moments. However, lately she hadn’t been herself. There were cracks in her laughter, fissures in the way her eyes darted around, like she was waiting for something or someone.Maverick was sitting by the window of their hotel, looking out at the river, its surface smooth, like glass, reflecting the lights of the city, when the door to their room creaked open. She entered, her coat fluttering behind her like the wings of a bird too tired to fly."Something wrong?" she asked, setting her things down with a softness that didn’t belong to the woman he’d known. There was a tremor in her voice,

He didn’t sleep that night. The air in the room was thick with fear, a weight that pressed down on his chest like the ghost of his father’s voice, still speaking, still rattling the bones of things he had tried to bury long ago. The darkness in the room felt different now, heavier, darker, like the night had teeth, waiting to bite, to consume, to drag him into its depths.He sat at the edge of the bed, his hands clenched tight in his lap, the room still and quiet, but not peaceful. No, not peaceful. He could hear the sound of his own breathing, ragged and uneven, as though his body knew something his mind couldn’t yet grasp. Outside, the river murmured like it always did, but tonight it carried a different song. A song of old secrets, of things unsaid, of things buried beneath layers of dirt and dust and forgotten names.Bridget had been right. He was a pawn. He hadn’t known it, not at first. Not when the money had come easy, when the deals had flowed like wine, and his name had bec

Maverick blinked, his eyes focusing on her face, her dark eyes that seemed to hold every truth, every secret he had been too afraid to confront. “I don’t understand what?” His voice was low, almost a whisper, as though he were speaking to himself more than to her.She took a step closer, the silence between them thick and heavy. “You think this is about your father,” she said, her words deliberate, each one weighted like stone. “But it’s not. This is about you. You, Maverick. You’re the one they’ve been waiting for.”He shook his head, feeling the room spin as his heart beat faster. “I don’t know what you mean. I’m not,…I'm not like him... I’m not..”“Not like him?” she interrupted, her voice rising with the barest edge of bitterness. “You think you’re different? That you’ve somehow escaped it all? The blood doesn’t change, Maverick. You were born into this. And now, you can’t outrun it any longer.”Her words hit him like a fist. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to push her away, but

He didn’t have to ask who it was. He knew. “Come in,” Maverick said, his voice flat, drained. The door creaked open, and there stood Bridget, her face set in a determined mask, her eyes sharp and knowing. She had been quiet for too long, like a woman watching a storm approach, waiting for it to break. “Maverick,” she said softly, closing the door behind her. “We need to talk.” Maverick didn’t answer right away. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to hear what she had to say. There was a part of him that wanted to lock the door, to shut it all out, to pretend none of it was real. But he knew he couldn’t. Not anymore. He gestured toward the chair by the window, but Bridget didn’t sit. Instead, she stood there, looking at him, her gaze searching, as though she were trying to find something that had slipped through the cracks of his silence. “I heard you and Amara,” she said, her voice low, like the calm before a storm. “I know what you’re thinking. What you’re feeling. And I know you’

Suddenly the Past can't stay Past! Shamelessly crawling like a hideous snake to hunt you down’. These were the words from his late grandmother. Apparently everyone somehow knew his fate except him. His future was at stake and he didn't notice sooner.Maverick had always thought that he could escape all of this in a way..The weight of it pressed down on him, thick and suffocating.His Father's death was a random twist of fate. No more, no less. But the older he got, the more the pieces started to fit together in ways that made him question everything. He’d grown up with the picture of a man who worked too much, drank too much, and lived too fast, but who loved his son in the way that men who knew their time was limited loved.He remembered the day it happened like it was yesterday. He was depressed, crying for days, numbed, clutching the edges of his grief, because what else was there to do? But now something needs to be done.Now, sitting in his office rattled and perplexed, plann

The Master Returns. °° It was a month after Kendrick had traveled to the shores of Atlantica, Bridget's phone was the first to give a loud ringing tone, a tone she was always expecting, one that reminds her of not only his attempt to hear from her, but a notification of his return. "That's all I've always longed to hear!" she jumped from her bed with a loud exciting yell, and at once her hands landed on the metal device, swiping the screen with excitement. "Hello, babe... have you arrived the airport, yet?" she asked loudly. A still small voice, deep but calmer than she had always expected it to be replied from the other end. "Yeah, babe. I'm sure you were waiting to hear from me... I just can't imagine how quickly you answered the phone." Bridget chimed with laughter, her lips sparkling joyously. "So, do I have to tell the driver and some of the convoys to pick you up immediately?" she asked. "Don't panic dear, I'm already in good hands." Yeah, sure every time Kend

Kendrick adjusted the cuff of his tailored jacket as he stepped out of the private terminal at Atlanta's airport. The cool evening breeze brushed against his face, a stark contrast to the tension brewing inside him. His wife had promised to meet him here. Yet, as his sharp gaze swept across the crowd, she was nowhere to be found. He muttered under his breath, “Where are you, Bridget?” After a final scan of the area and still no sign of her, Kendrick exhaled sharply and straightened his posture. “Perhaps this is for the better,” he said, masking the flicker of disappointment in his voice. With a curt nod to Xavier, who stood waiting by the car, Kendrick slid into the backseat of the sleek black sedan. As the vehicle pulled out of the terminal, Kendrick allowed himself a rare moment to absorb the familiar sights of Atlanta. The city, with its twinkling skyline and lively streets, had been his home for years. Yet now, after months away, it felt more like a distant memory than a plac

She kept her eyes on the road as she spoke. “The rangers who found him said the fall wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.” She replied.“His parachute helped slow down the fall, and though he sustained some injuries, he’ll be fine.” she added.“We don’t know the full extent yet,” she added. “But we will after we speak to the doctor, I haven’t spoken to him yet.”Xavier nodded, relief washing over him, but the worry never fully subsided. “Alright, let's go to him.”Quinn nodded silently as she drove them to the hospital, stepping on the brakes and pulling the car to a halt in front of the large medical center. Xavier followed her inside, his gaze lingering on the towering building before they approached the receptionist, who guided them to Kendrick’s ward.Inside, Xavier found his friend lying in the bed. Kendrick’s left leg was wrapped in bandages and suspended. He slept soundly, his chest rising and falling with each breath, as his mouth took in and exhaled air from the oxygen tube gen

She walked away quietly and sat by the edge of her bed. Meanwhile, Lisa ushered herself in.“We have to get that video.” She said, her resolve unwavering. “I knew I would never let myself go to Ramon no matter how drunk I must've been. I want to watch it and see for myself. I want to be sure about everything that happened.” She spoke with so much conviction. Lisa knew she must've given this a lot of thought.“So what if it's true? What do we do?” Lisa said, expressing her fears.“What if it's not true–” Bridgette countered.“Even though it's not— we still have to pay him off or he'll release it and I know my job would be at stack if it gets out.” Lisa said.“Well. I don't believe I kissed Ramon or had any affair with him… I feel it was staged. They did that to blackmail us and extort money from us.” she said boldly. “I don't know for you though but I think I have a vague memory of you serving yourself two di.cks. One up your mouth and the other up in your as.s.” Bridgette said, she h

“Nothing. It just came out wrong.” Lisa shook her head, trying to deny what was already said but it was already too late, she already heard.“No it came out right! I heard you and I want to know!” She insisted.“Fine!” Lisa snapped. “He paid for the bills. This trip was his idea because he wanted you to have a little life and stop crying over your dead husband.” She confessed.Bridgette’s hand ran over her mouth as she gasped. “I thought this was girl's time out!” She said, looking gloomy, her eyes watery.“This was all a sham?!” She realized. “You didn't do this for us.” She said, her voice low and hurt.“You only agreed to do this because Xavier paid you to.” She added, the weight of disappointment and betrayal heavy in her heart—her voice shaky.“Of course not Bridgette. I did want to come on this trip not just for the money.” Lisa said in her defense.“Oh so he did pay you.” Bridgette confirmed her suspicion. “No wonder…” she sighed. “You never had time for me. I certainly didn't

Bridgette sat under a shade by the poolside—basking, enjoying the warm summer sun on her delicate fair skin. The view was soothing and the breezy wind made the heat less effective. “I must say__” she started. “This trip isn't as bad as I thought it would be after all.” She commented. Her face glowing, beaming with smiles and satisfaction.The trip really did help her get over all the gloominess of the mansion and how much she missed her husband—she still missed him though but the trip has helped take away her mind from some of the pain.Lisa carried her cocktail, “Cheers to healing!” She raised her glass. “Cheers!” Bridgette clicked letting out a soft giggle then she took a sip.“I missed this part of you.” Lisa smiled, gulping her wine. “I'm glad you're finally alive!” She held her hand, squeezed it a little.Bridgette smiled, “Thanks for coming through.”Lisa smiled back with her eyes… she wish she could tell her it was all Xavier's idea and not hers. She was merely a tool while X

“Oh my God!” Lisa squeaked, her hands flying to her mouth as she gasped.Her outburst caught everyone’s attention—Bridgette especially. Startled, she nearly spilled water all over herself.She stared at her phone's screen with shock in her eyes.“What is it Lisa?” She asked nonchalantly, rolling her eyes. She knew how dramatic her friend could be.“I can't believe I made a video of us last night.” She said, staring at her phone excitedly.“Let me see_” Bridgette leaned closer to her in order to have a look.Ramon glanced at the rearview immediately, his heart beating fast in his chest; he almost collided with an incoming vehicle.It almost happened!“Hey watch the road!” Bridgette screamed just in time for him to avoid the truck that was coming in front of them on its own lane.“Won't you watch where you're going?” She scolded, half yelling.“I'm sorry ma'am.” He apologized. His eyes falling between the rearview and the road… he wished he could see the video. His grip on the steering

She gasped, finally blessed with her earnest desire, she started riding him while moaning in ecstasy.In the end,it was a high orgasmic sexual pleasure.Another man being led on by her act came to her, his boner… he slammed on her face. She wasn't pissed, she laughed maniacally and grabbed it, she spat on it_ hummed a few moans tones before taking it in her mouth. He groaned, his eyes shut.Both men were working her, she'd never had a threesome_ the feeling was thrilling. Bridget felt the heat of the moment as she watched her friend take on two men in the room.Her core heated and her insides ached, burning for similar passion. She gulped more content from the glass, each gulp with the intention of helping her get past this but it only made things worse. Her eyes squeezed as the content of the glass burned down her throat. She dropped the glass, thud! On the table… she staggered, losing herself… her eyes barely had a good visual.Ramon saw her staggering and rushed to her side to hel
CHAPTER 315
His man lover, Freddy, brought out the wine from the wine safe and popped it open. He giggled at the pop sound made from the cork on the wine's seal……Then poured some of its contents into two glasses. He gave Maverick one while he played with the other. He pulled himself on top of the table and sat there, his legs crossed. “A win for one is a win for all.” He smiled, raising the glass.“Cheers.” Their glasses clicked and they took a sip each. Maverick came closer, he smelt his face and smacked his butt, he giggled like a lady. Maverick finished the content of the entire glass and dropped it, —thud, on the table. He was ready for some serious business… he held him by the waist.He inhaled, tasting the lust in the air_ his nature tool, getting hardened underneath his pants.Freddy finished his own glass and dropped it gently on the table.“Come give me some.” Maverick said, his tone inviting and hoarse. A smug smile crept on Freddy's face, he loved to see him beg for attention.He d

“That's a bad idea Lisa.” Bridgette slammed, shoving it off.“Think about it_” she went on, not backing down. “Something enticing for the eyes. Appetizers for the soul and body but we aren't eating them—No.” She cajoled, raising her index finger, she waved a no in the air.“Don't tell me you don't miss the days when Kendrick shoved his rod up your folded sheets.” She flattered, giggling. Her words were convincing and impairing. She got on the pole and wrapped her flexible, feminine legs around it, her arms grabbed it and she let her legs spin her around. She swirled and twirled on it, tilted back and balanced in the air, making stunts Bridgette felt were impossible… releasing her arms and letting her legs stay on the pole while she spun in all directions. Bridgette's eyes were intently watching her every move_ she must admit, she looked really sexy and fascinating on that pole. There was nothing missing, she did it like a pro–she watched in earnest amusement.She couldn't hide the

“Is he scared you'd try to fight him off? Why the hurry?” Kendrick asked, not as surprised as he sounded.“No idea.” Xavier shrugged, exhaling sharply. “When he saw me the other day at the mansion_ the time I went to see Bridget? He was shocked to his bones and didn't seem pleased to see me at all.” Xavier explained.“He told me right there and then that you left him in charge so… in other words he was asking me to back off.”“That's if I ever had an intention of fighting over the properties with him.” he added, sarcasm in his tone, he flipped the pages of the file in his hand.“But there's no handwritten document that states I left him in charge.” Kendrick retorted, narrowing his eyes to avoid the piercing rays of the sun. “Yes_ even so. You controlled some of the Rogers assets and he stands as an heir.” Xavier explained.“Oh!” He realized.“Gosh, it's so hot up here_ and windy too.” Kendrick muttered, away from the subject matter. The wind, playing with his hair.“He intends to set
