"NEW YORK?" JEFF asked, "But why?" Jeff shrugged and said, "They don't tell me anything." "Hmm, we came to New Jersey with plans of being together," Rick muttered. "Well, Vincent says that I'll be adding much flying juggling between staying here and also being in New York," Jeff said. Rick nodded. He was not happy about the development but he had accepted it. They finished up their food and Jon paid without any trouble. He left a generous tip for the waitress. "Hey, remember what happened at that clothes store? The one with a French name…" Rick said as they left the tea shop, "You might want to upgrade your card as soon as possible." Jon nodded, "I will, and remember I said I was going to buy the store." Rick nodded."I think I'll talk to Vincent about that one. Jon said, heading for the BMW, "I will catch you guys later. I have a Yatch party to prepare for.""You are going on a yacht tonight?" Jeff asked. "Yeah," Jon opened the back seat and got inside, "And Paxton is coming

QUEEN ELIZABETH the Second sat comfortably in the water, her Hull, reflecting the little remains of daylight sun and shimmering. The chrome details cast a glistering effect on everyone who saw it from shore. "Oh, wow…" Paxton said, "That looks…" They packed at the deck. Jon and Paxton got out, "Hang around, Luke." "Have an eventful night, sir," Luke said. Jon nodded and they walked to the deck, where speed boats were organized to take the guests to the bed yacht."Good evening, sir." The speed boat pilot said. Jon nodded in reply and started putting on the life jacket given to him. "Can you swim?" Rick whispered to Jon, who shook his head in reply. "Then what if the boat capsizes?" Jon chuckled, "It won't capsize, Richard. Put on your life jacket." They both strapped on their jackets and entered the small speed boat. "Are you all set?" The pilot asked.They nodded, "Let's go." The engine revved up and shot out into the water. Rick laughed as the power took him by surprise

SHE WAS EXACTLY how Jon remembered her to be. Beautiful and elegant. But as Jon remembered her looks, that was the same way he remembered the embarrassment she had caused him in front of Maxim. So he put on an aloof air as he looked at her and said, "Ms Bishop, I presume?" She scoffed and sat down on a stool beside Jon and ordered a dry martini from the bartender. "Can we just put off the act?" She said into her drink. "What are you talking about?" Jon asked. "It's not a coincidence that a food delivery boy saves my ass when I was drunk and then turns out to be the son of one of the most powerful men in the world, and then he outbids my fiancé in a total humiliating manner. What is going on here, Jonathan Stone?" Jon scoffed, "I absolutely have no idea of what you are talking about." He finished his drink, "If you're looking for someone with whom you can spin conspiracy theories, then I suggest you find another person. I'm done here." He stood up with Paxton and started to walk

JON AND PAXTON shared the boat in silence as it bobbed and cut through the water smoothly. Paxton turned and looked at the silhouette of QEII as they sped off. Now, it was just a large black shape with gold lights shining through its numerous windows. Paxton smiled and sighed, Jon knew that something had happened between his friend and the woman. He called the car - which had a designated number - and Luke picked it up and said, "Hello sir." "We are on our way to shore. Come pick us up.""Okay, sir," Luke said and ended the call. Paxton was still smiling when they pulled up at the dock and got out. They climbed the wooden stairs and got up to the road when their Lincoln luxury car was coming over already. Luke flashed the headlight twice to make his presence known."That's Luke. Let's go home," Jon said. Paxton nodded and followed Jon to the car, he threw a last glance at the yacht before entering the car. The car pulled away and nosed into the highway smoothly. Luke was a tale

JON WAS THE first one to come down that morning. His mind was not at rest as he woke up. It was something like a premonition. He knew something out of the ordinary was about to happen. He rolled over and glanced at the digital clock with its numbers glowing in the darkness. 4.53 am. It was already to late to go back to sleep. He sighed and sat up. He could not go back to sleep so he might as well prepare for work. He went to the bathroom to wash up and shave. Even after a cold shower, he still felt sleepy and dizzy. He pulled a t-shirt over his head and hopped into jogger pants before going downstairs. He had read somewhere that jogging clears the mind so that was what he was about to do. He went into a side closet where different shoes that he had not worn before were arranged. He looked at the arrangments of the shoes, air Jordans, Nike shoes, Gucci and other designers that he did not even recognize. But those were not what he was looking for, he picked a comfy-looking shoe tha

"MASTER LUCAS," VINCENT said, standing up to greet the newcomer. "Ohh… breakfast," Poppy said, giving Stefan a peck on the cheek before seating down and piling her plates high with pancakes. "What are you doing here, Poppy?" Stefan asked."Okay," Poppy took a deep breath and said, "So I woke up this morning, right?" She chewed on her food dramatically, "I was ready to have an absolutely normal day at school, but I received a text," She drank some orange juice, "I received a text from Lucas. Turned out my brother just flew into the country and wanted me to pick him up from the airport, so… here I am," She finished with a bow. Stefan turned to Lucas, "We weren't expecting you back until tomorrow."The newcomer, Lucas shrugged and dropped his briefcase on a seat in the living room and walked to the dining, removing his jacket as he walked, "I rounded up what I was doing and decided to come home early. But I can go back, it seems like I am interrupting some old 'family' reunion," He ga

A COOL SMILE hung around the sides of Maxim's lips as Edgar swung the shotgun from Antonio to him. He knew with the gun that Edgar held, accurate targeting was not needed, just face the gun in the general direction and fire, it would spray lead across a wide angle and annihilate not him and Antonio, and most of the wooden shack behind him. But he did not panic, he knew Edgar would not shoot. "Ivanov," He said, raising his hand, "Maxim Ivanov." Edgar grunted, "Oh I know you, sir." He faced Antonio with the shotgun, "Now, You!" Maxim dropped his hands and smiled, if Edgar pressed the trigger, he would still be affected. "I'm Antonio. Antonio Orsatti," Antonio said quickly. "Huh?" Edgar took a step forward. "Hey. I'm an Orsatti, you fucker," Antonio said, shuffling backwards. "I'm the youngest son in the Orsatti family." Edgar wiggled his bushy eyebrows and snorted. But he lowered the gun, "So you're the weakling son I've been hearing about," He snorted, "I never thought I would

THE TABLE WAS silent for a moment, only the sound of Poppy chewing filled the air."I am jet lagged," Lucas said, standing up, "I think I will head up to my room to rest." Stefan nodded, "Go and rest Lucas," He said, "We will talk later." Lucas nodded and turned to walk away. "Hey, you," Lucas called to a servant boy, "Carry those suitcases and follow me." He turned to Stefan, "My normal room?" Stefan looked at Vincent, who nodded in reply. Lucas went up the stairs with the servant boy carrying his suitcase behind him. He was boiling with a strange type of anger. He was not related to the Stone family by blood. He was only here because his mother was smart enough to latch onto Stefan for a period of time and Stefan had seen potential in him. But now, just when he is levelling up and about to prove what he can do to the family's business and wealth, a new guy – related by true blood, this time – shows up. "Drop them there and get out," He snapped at the servant boy who quickly
