Chapter 69"No, General," John replied, shaking his head. "She seems to have vanished into thin air. But I have a feeling she's still in the city, watching and waiting.""It's a wise decision for her to keep a low profile because she knows what you're capable of." He said."Keep searching. I need her found before she causes any more trouble." Sullivan's eyes narrowed,he has many reasons why he was searching for her.He needed answers and it seemed she was the only one who could provide these answers.He wanted to know why she betrayed him, a part of him could see her reluctance.If her reason were valid enough,maybe he could spare her life or end it.He was a man that never lef people unpunished for their crimes."Yes, General. I'll keep searching." John nodded. "I'm positive she is still in the city.""I believe you can handle this matter."Sullivan said .He turned to leave, then stopped and turned back to John after he remembered something. "And John?""Yes, General?""Keep this
As soon as the car door closed, the sound of gunfire echoed through the air. Erica's eyes widened in terror as she clung to Sullivan.This was not supposed to happen, Sullivan thought.John assured him that the road was secured but it seems that they must have slipped his eyes. "What's happening?" she screamed.Sullivan's face was set in a grim mask as he pulled her closer. "Don't worry, I've got you," he said, his voice calm and reassuring.He could tell she was frightened as the bullets threatened to break through the glass, but thankfully they were bulletproof.The car sped away, bullets whizzing past them. John's face was focused on the road, his eyes darting back and forth as he navigated through the traffic.The General was counting on him to save them from this situation and he was not going to let him down."John, get us out of here!" Sullivan yelled."I'm trying, General!" John replied, his voice tense.His heart was beating fast.This was not the first time they had been
"Let me take your minds off those things." He gave a sly grin. Erica folded her hands and kept staring strangely at her husband. She wondered what kind of dirty thoughts were already running through his brain."You can be such a perv. You know that right." "Me?" Sullivan said, actually as if he was deeply offended. He had a hand over his chest giving a cute pout."This is exactly why I don't help people," Sullivan remarked."I was just trying to help you relax but you're already calling me a perv."Erica frowned, and then she wrinkled her eyes at her husband.Sullivan started to get uncomfortable with her intense gaze."What? Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked with confusion.Erica doesn't answer him and she maintains her frown.Sullivan shrugged uncomfortably in the bed. At this moment he was thinking of running away before his wife entered one of her episodes."Babe, what is it?" Sullivan asked."Wow, so you help other people to calm down." Erica accused, narrowing
Sullivan's eyes sparkled with playfulness as he whispered, "I'll show you what happens when you accuse your husband of being a perv."Erica's laughter turned into a squeal as Sullivan swept her into his arms, carrying her towards the bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes shining with mirth."Oh, I'm shaking in my boots," Erica teased, her voice husky.Sullivan chuckled, his lips brushing against her ear. "You should be. I'm a man on a mission to prove my innocence.""Innocence? Oh please you are far from being innocent." Erica said, rolling her eyes.As they tumbled onto the bed, Sullivan's playful growls and Erica's giggles filled the room, their argument forgotten amid their loving banter."It tickles." Erica chuckled when she felt Sullivan's warm breath on her ears. Sullivan took a moment to take in his wife's appearance. Her eyes seemed to sparkle from underneath him. "Kiss me." He ordered. In a matter of seconds, she hooked her arms over his neck and pulled h
Erica opens her eyes when she feels the lights hit her eyes. "Rise and shine, sleepy head," Sullivan said with a smile on his face. "Hmm." Erica groaned softly. She curled up even further up the bed. Her hair was all tangled up, her face half buried in the pillow. "Babe wake up, it's almost midday," Sullivan said taking a seat beside her."No!" She muttered, with her eyes closed. Sullivan sighed, shaking his head. He drops the tea in his hands then he focuses his gaze on her. Her smooth skin was exposed even though she covered herself in a blanket. His hands reached out to tuck her messed-up hair behind her ears so he could have a good view of her face. "My beautiful wife." He remarked with pride. Erica who was half awake couldn't hide her smile. "You are awake?" Sullivan laughed. Erica turned her gaze to him and Sullivan helped her sit on the bed. She was exhausted and still needed more sleep. When Sullivan said neither of them was going to get any sleep, he meant. Er
It's been weeks since Jason jab escaped the fury of Mrs Martin.He wonders how he would have been alive if it wasn't for his grandparents.At least now he could literally do whatever he pleased because he wasn't with his father that always wanted him locked away.His resentment towards the dragon general only seemed to increase with each passing moment."Jason." His grandfather called him harshly.He quickly adjusted his seat because he nearly lost his balance."Sir." Jason responded quickly."You need to always be alert or else your enemies would strike." His grandfather said."Keep your head in the game." He reminded."It won't happen again." Jason said.Ever since he started staying in his grandfather's residence,his grandfather introduced him into the family business without any hesitation."Jason, you need to understand that our family's business is not like any other," his grandfather said, his eyes gleaming with a hint of excitement. "We are in the underground trade, dealing wi
The house wasn't looking like much from the outside.To Jason's amazement, he was thrilled to see the wonders that lay inside."This is wonderful." He remarked glancing through the interior of the house."You'll be safe here but that doesn't mean that your training won't continue." His grandfather said."When can I go back to the city," Jason asked."Because you're my grandson I can help you take care of Mrs. Martin." his grandfather said."She has been snooping around in this that doesn't concern her and she's going to get her reward," he added."Take care of her as in...""Kill her of course." Jason's grandmother smirked.Jason suddenly felt bad because she was Flint's mom.Flint was his best buddy and he couldn't just bring himself to hurt his friend's mom."Don't tell me you are getting soft?" Jason's grandfather said.He sighed then he placed a hand on Jason's shoulder."If you want to make it in this business you must bury your heart.""If they are not your friends that makes t
"How dare you punch me?" Scar frowned, slowly rubbing on the sore spots.Jason stood his ground, his heart racing with adrenaline. He didn't even realize what he had done until he did it."You dared to insult me," he shot back, his fists clenched."Do you think you can take me down, little cousin?" he taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'll show you what I'm capable of," he snarled, charging at Scar."Oh, I'm shaking in my boots." Scar taunted."You have grown manners since the last time I saw you."He grabbed Jason's shirt then he smiled."Do you know the difference between me and you?" He asked.Jason doesn't answer.He stares at his cousin wondering what sort of nonsense he was up to today."I heard that you had so many failed attempts In dealing with your enemy.""Unlike me, I never fail. I always win." Scar said with determination in his eyes."Oh really, I believe I'm on that list but somehow I'm still alive so I guess you're also a failure," Jason smirked."Bang!" S
