Silver has no choice but to sit down. She sits down, feeling denied and powerless at this particular moment in time."Now, young lady, listen well. I do not care what your relationship is with either of these guys. All that I need you to do is cooperate and tell me the damn truth." The inspector said forcefully, with great stress, damn!, which made Silver shake with fear."Okay, I will cooperate with you,” she says with her brows furrowing and the ever-present worry in her eyes since the inspector changed his attitude, increasing with more concern."I have told you everything.” Silver says this between stammering and swallowing with her head down."You have?" The inspector stretches his hand out to Silver's chin to raise her head and take a good look at her unbelievable face."Yes, inspector, what would I want to tell lies for? Christopher was my ex, but we made up again." “So who the heck is Kelly then? Because he calls you his girlfriend?" The inspector comments, raising the muscle

"Father,I like to speak with Christopher.” Mira replies to her father curtly, almost rudely."Don't you talk to me in a rude tone. How dare you, child?" Mr. Gabriel asks, his anger apparently rising."That's okay, sir." Christopher courteously chips in to mediate between father and daughter. Mira gets upset and walks out on her father while he sighs and shakes his head, adding, "What a bone in the neck."Christopher and Mr. Gabriel will continue their communication as soon as Mira is out of sight. "So your proposal got approved, right? How much are you expecting from the government?" Mira's father asks Christopher, turning towards him and trying to look as serious as possible. Christopher clears his throat and begins, "Well, we are expecting nothing less than five hundred million dollars, owing to the nature of the capital intensivity of the renewable energy industry.”"Hmm,that sounds good. Can I possibly buy shares in this project?" Mira's father asks, hoping to hear positive feed

All the while, Mira's father stayed aside, watching the serious, concise, and yet point-clear conversation unfolding between the two. When they reach an agreement, Christopher pulls out his checkbook, writes the agent a check for two hundred billion, and describes his bank address, which is already on the check for him. He further instructs the agent to take the house documents to the bank for safety."I will give the original documents to the bank manager on your behalf.” Mira's father chips in here, snatching the written check from the agent. "Transfers of such huge property cannot be taken with the hands of levity; don't be silly."."We must see the documents first and then go together to the bank to complete our transaction.""Okay, if that's how you prefer it.” The agent says he is shrugging and picking his phone out of his pocket. He calls the estate office and requests that the sky house's document be delivered to the house location immediately."Okay, sir, I'm on it.” A deep v

In a jiffy, two exotic cars are in full motion towards Princeton Global Bank, with Mister Gabriel's car leading the way. "The restaurant's manager sent a link to their site. We need to pick the services we want." Mr. Gabriel says he clicked on the link to the site, waiting for the site to open while he listened to Christopher. "Let's just have a buffet party with lots of additional food and exotic mocktails.""Okay, that's right," Gabriel says as he opens the five-star restaurant's catalog and begins to click on the products and service options. The bill is accrued at the bottom of the page. "How much will all that cost?" Christopher enquires. "Two hundred thousand dollars." Gabriel replies, trying not to be awed at Christopher's new capacity. "Okay, press send order," Christopher tells Gabriel almost in a command tone, not paying much attention to the screen in Gabriel's hand. He is rather spectating at the sights outside the moving car. "Order successfully placed.” Gabriel c

Chapter 58The agent and his messenger followed Suzy to the reception, and they were well attended to. The agent collects the receipt, saying "you are welcome" and thanking Suzy for coming.Back in the bank manager's office,he continues to make further transactions on Christopher's account."I have also transferred two hundred thousand dollars to the five-star restaurant's bank account. You can ask Suzy for a transaction receipt on your way out, Chris." The manager fondly refers to Christopher as Chris. "Alright, no problem. Thank you for always keeping me happy with your top-notch services."“No need to mention that. We have come a long way together, Chris.” The manager tries to endear Christopher,his seasoned customer, who had quickly risen in status but had also raised the status of the bank with his financial fortune.The two men, Christopher and Mira's father, exchange satisfactory handshakes with the bank manager,who not only exchanges handshakes with gratitude but also rises to

"Ok.kk...ay you.. mean the limo outside?" "Yes, exactly. I mean the limousine outside. How much is it?"."Oh, you mean that? It's just seventy-five billion dollars. Not much, right?" The sales guy adds with a squint and a silly grin on his face."Give me your invoice; my bank manager will pay today. You will send the limo and the receipt to this address tomorrow morning at seven thirty am, unfailingly." Christopher says in a simplistic tone that, pulling out a small piece of paper and his fountain pen from his coat's chest pocket,he writes the address of his new luxury home,his email address, and his phone number on the paper and gives it to the sales guy."Wow, that's a good move, sir. I will send the invoice to your email right away." The sales guy passes the paper to a male receptionist, who together had been looking on and only winking in surprise, as Mr. Gabriel once did again at the mention of the limo and its cost in the course of Christopher's and the sales guy's conversation

The salesman looks straight at the two men and says, "The price for the car is four million dollars, sir."."What!" Mr. Gabriel exclaims. He is confused about why his friend is requesting such an expensive car."But isn't that a bit too much?" Mr. Gabriel asks Christopher.Christopher gives a brief nod to his friend, Mr. Gabriel."We are not here to joke. If you don't have the required funds to pay for the car,please give me a minute to attend to other customers," the car salesman says, his expression and tone signifying that he is not in the mood for any more jokes from the two men."No, don't go anywhere," Christopher tells him, his voice now taking on a more serious and authoritative tone. The salesman recognizes this change of tone and straightens his stance."Alright,are you ready to purchase this car today,sir?" He asks Christopher."Yes,we are here to purchase the car right now.""Do you have the required fund with you right now?" The salesman asks in a tone that betrays a littl

CHAPTER 60 Christopher had organized a mini-party after the success of the proposal. It was amazing the heights he had achieved over the past few months, and he knew there was no stopping. He was engrossed on his phone while the music kept blasting on the speaker until he heard it was time to give a toast. The party was relatively small, and although he had wanted something bigger, the issue of his rivals seemingly discovering this location had kept him at bay. "Let's make a toast!" He mentioned grabbing a bottle of wine. "A toast to the huge success of the proposal." Everyone raised their cups, and while he was about to speak further, he noticed Sam waving in his direction, obviously instructing him about something. He handed the bottle to someone else and walked up to meet Sam, who was at the door. "I just got some information." Sam stated it out loud. "What is it?" He asked. "I think we have got company!" Right before Christopher could comprehend what was happening, the door burst

The man—male—down the alley was Skull .After ten years, after all the executions and burnings, a Skull male was prowling toward her. Pure, solid Skull . There was no escaping him as he emerged from the shadows yards away. The vagrant in the alcove and the others along the alley fell so quiet Mia could again hear those bells ringing in the distant mountains.Tall, broad-shouldered, every inch of him seemingly corded with muscle, he was a male blooded with power. He paused in a dusty shaft of sunlight, his silver hair gleaming.As if his delicately pointed ears and slightly elongated canines weren’t enough to scare the living shit out of everyone in that alley, including the now-whimpering madwoman behind Mia , a wicked-looking tattoo was etched down the left side of his harsh face, the whorls of black ink stark against his sun-kissed skin.The Morse codes could easily have been decorative, but she still remembered enough of the Skull language to recognize them as words, even in such a

What she wants?Mia wasn’t naive. She knew very well that Christopher wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess without her. It seemed he had made the mistake of angering Arthur and at least, she was able to help him. Even if it meant giving up her own freedom.Why she was so nice to the same man who had abandoned her many times when she needed him but now she felt the urge to give herself up to help him… she didn’t know. But he was her brother and she felt somewhat responsible for him.“I… I want my brother safe,” she began to speak after a moment's pause. “I want him to leave alive. I want to see him leave alive and for your men to never go after him again.”“And in return, you’ll take my offer,” he mused. Mia nodded and the smirk on Arthur’s face widened.“That’s a deal,” he responded, his tone final. Mia felt a little bit of relief, even though her heart pounded in her chest.Then, his hand snaked up her arm and she gasped at how warm his palm was on her cool skin. Up her arm, to h

The next morning Mia and the Emissary set off to the King's palace. She had figured out a way to get back without any suspicion and while she had instructed the Emissary to help find Thorne, it was left to her to find a means to get to the location of the Shadow Star.Stepping into the boaders, where the gigantic palace had been built upon, all Mia needed to do was to act as though she had been hurt and with her skills in pretence, no one would question her.The moment she noticed the guards were coming close to her hideout, Mia stepped out, holding one part of her arm and hissing in pain. She looked up to see the guards coming towards her direction. The moment they laid eyes on her, one of them rushed over to help steady her body. Mia looked to see the others moving to her hideout to figure out how she had arrived. As they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, some of the soldiers also rushed over to help her and while they head into the luxurious living room, Mia over hears one o

Anna was taken out of the underground in silence to live in Christopher's mansion and resume the underground at night when she's well rested.Her room was beside Devon's room and well furnished, equally as his own, with luxurious closets large enough to open a boutique.Anna could not stop exclaiming and thought of exactly what was going on.It was the third day she was taking Christopher home after the night she passed out without seeing Christopher himself. She was left alone in the room, only to be taken care of by maids attending to her needs. She needs fresh air, at least, but at the same time, she is scared of breaking the rules.That morning, she had just showered up early and was creaming her body before Christopher walked into her half-nakedness.It was nothing to Christopher, as he has seen her that way several times, but the amusing part is the fact that Anna was covering her body and not throwing herself at him."Out of your clothes! Like right now, put it off." Christop

“How dare you?" Christopher roared like a lion as the champagne got emptied on his dress and flowed freely down his pants. Anna shook terribly, looking for napkins to clean Christopher's suits and shoes. She just emptied a glass of champagne."I'm terribly sorry! I wa---sss" Anna stuttered, trying to complete her words, when Christopher dragged her hair and pulled her up. "You are here to pay your brother's debt, but it's obvious you're not capable!. "Christopher said with a very intimidating voice, letting out goosebumps on Maria's neck."Please, I feel weak! '' Anna begged amidst her tears. She had never felt this way in her entire life, looking for means of survival.She felt her strength leaving her and let her body fall on Devon's hold.Everyone in the VIP room's eyes widened."This baby is indeed grounded!" One of them commented and signaled Christopher to take Anna's body away from him.Before they could move, Christopher gave them a shock. He carried Anna himself to his cl

Without doing extra training between the stacks, Mia found herself less exhausted when she left the library. Christopher had retrieved her from Windhaven after two and a half hours, and she’d already been so bored sitting in Rhys’s mother’s house that she’d nearly smiled to see him. But Christopher ’s face had been tight, his eyes cold and distant, and he’d barely spoken to her when Rhys had appeared. Rhys had barely spoken to her, either, but that was to be expected. It was better if they didn’t speak at all.Yet Christopher hadn’t said more than “I’ll see you later” before leaving again with Rhys after the High Lord had brought them back to the House of Wind, his face still tight and angry.With the extra energy buzzing through her that night, wondering incessantly why Christopher had been so upset, Mia didn’t feel like eating in her room and falling asleep. So she found herself in the doorway of the dining room.Christopher was lounging in his chair, a glass of wine in his hand, st

Hoping Virgil wouldn’t come shove him over the railing for disobeying her orders, he said, “All right. Throw the right hook.”Mia did so. And dropped her damn elbow.“Get back into position.” She did, and he asked, “May I?”Mia nodded, and kept perfectly still as he made minute adjustments to the angle of her arm. “Punch again. Slowly.”She heeded him, and his hand wrapped around her elbow as it began to dip. “See? Keep this up.” He maneuvered her arm back into starting position. “Don’t forget to flow the weight through your hips.” He took her arm, keeping a good foot of distance between their bodies, and moved it through the punch. “Like this.”“All right.” Mia reset herself, and he took a step away. Without his order, she did the punch again. Perfectly.Christopher whistled.“Do that with more force and you’ll shatter a male’s jaw,” he said with a crooked grin. “Give me a combination one-two, then four-five-three, then one-one-two.”Mia ’s brows bunched as she reset herself. Her fee

Five days later, Christopher sat before the desk of the library’s high priestess and watched her enchanted pen move. He’d met Virgil a few times over the centuries—found she had a dry, wicked sense of humor and a soothing presence. He’d made a point not to stare at her hands, or at the face he’d only seen once, when Mor had brought her in so long ago. It had been so battered and bloody it hadn’t looked like a face at all.He had no idea how it had healed beneath the hood. If Madja had been able to save it in a way she hadn’t been able to save Virgil ’s hands. He supposed it didn’t matter what she looked like, not when she had accomplished and built so much with Rhys and Mor within this library. A sanctuary for females who’d endured such unspeakable horrors that he was always happy to carry out justice on their behalf.His mother had needed a place like this. But Rhys had established it long after she’d left this world. He wondered if Azriel’s mother had ever considered coming here, or

Curled up in bed, a book propped on the thick down comforter, Mia was just getting to the sizzling first kiss in her latest novel when a knock thudded on her door.She slammed the book shut and sat up against the pillows. “Yes?”The handle turned, and there he was.Christopher still wore his leathers, the overlapping scales of them full of shadows that made him look like some great, writhing beast as he shut the door.He leaned against the carved oak, his wings rising high above his head like twin mountain peaks.“What?” She slid the book onto the nightstand, sitting up further. His eyes dipped to her sleeveless silk nightgown, then quickly returned to her face. “What?” she demanded again, angling her head. Her unbound hair slid over a shoulder, and she saw him mark that, too.His voice was rough as he said, “I’ve never seen you with your hair down.”She always wore it braided across her head or pinned up. She frowned at the locks that flowed to her waist, the gold amongst the brown g
