Erica followed his gaze and her eyes widened as she saw the dress he had chosen. "Sullivan, that's...wow," she breathed, her eyes shining with excitement.Sullivan smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I knew you'd like it," he said, his voice confident. "You're going to look stunning in it, my love."Erica's eyes sparkled with delight as Sullivan handed her the dress. She took it from him, her fingers tracing the intricate embroidery. "It's beautiful," she whispered, her voice full of wonder."See I told you I have good taste in clothes, "he said. "I don't think I've ever doubted your skills," Erica said. After they got dressed they stepped outside the room and anyone who laid eyes on them could testify that they were giving the power couple vibe. Sullivan was dressed in a nice tuxedo and had his hair slick backward. John smiled with satisfaction when he saw the General and his wife walking towards him. He was still mad about the way the General spoke to him that day h
Sullivan smiled, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yes, my love, I have a few more surprises up my sleeve. But first, let me show you around the beach.""Hmm, you want to give me a tour.""Of course, anything for my sweet pea."He took her hand, leading her along the shore. The sand was soft and white, and the waves crashed against the shore in a soothing rhythm. Erica felt the warm sun on her skin, and the salty air filled her lungs. She couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over her.As they walked, Sullivan pointed out different landmarks and features of the island. He showed her a hidden cove, a coral reef, and a scenic lookout point. Erica was amazed by the beauty of the island, and she couldn't believe that Sullivan had kept it a secret from her for so long.After they walked on the beach, Sullivan led her to a beautiful house that was nestled among the trees. The house was decorated with flowers and balloons, and a sign that read "Welcome lady Eric
Chapter 93Sullivan's eyes blazed with anger when he saw that the person in front of him was Evelyn Kai. Some he once trusted, he almost considered her a friend but now they were worse than enemies.He got up instantly and turned to John for an explanation. "What is she doing here?" Erica asked in shock. All eyes were on Evelyn. Her face was bruised and she was banged up very badly. It was obvious she had been coming from a huge fight. John dragged her hair harshly forcing her to look at the general. Her eyes were filled with tears as she locked eyes with Sullivan. She was ashamed of herself. If she had other options she wouldn't have walked into this den. She wronged him. She betrayed his trust but now she only hopes that he could offer her some help. "Speak!" John clenched his jaws hard. He had always hated Evelyn and if it were up to him, he would have killed her the moment she found her lurking around. He had asked what her purpose was but she opined that the only p
Sullivan marched over to Evelyn's who was still unconscious on the ground. His first instinct was to squeeze her neck till she decided to open her eyes and speak but he had to keep his cool. He turns to John with a frown on his face. "Take her and make sure she attended to." He said, his voice was firm. "She has a lot of explaining to do.""Yes, General," John said with a bow.Sullivan was already in a foul mood so he just walked back to the villa. He didn't even bother to wait for Erica because he could feel the anger boiling in his bones. "The five great families." He groaned.His heart was broken into pieces.They raise an entire corporation to the ground without any regard for human lives.Now more children would be rendered orphans and they would have to fend for themselves if they had no relatives.He wanted to execute all his plans but if he made the mistake of running to face the problem now he might lose.He was the dragon general but these people still had so much infl
"I was beginning to think that you were not going to wake up."In that instant, Evelyn's eyes snapped. She quickly sat up on the bed, trying to process her surroundings. "Where am I?" She muttered. She quickly clenched the blanket, turning her head sideways. "Welcome back to the land of the living," John said nonchalantly. Evelyn swallowed hard as she stared at John. "Can't you speak or cat's got your tongue." He asked, raising his brow. He strode over to where she was and lifted her face that was buried in shame with his fingertips."If you want to leave you better start talking." He warned."I wish to speak with the, General." She said firmly.Even though she was trying to be bold, John could detect a hint of fear in her eyes."You think the General would want to speak to you after what you did.""You see now that I think about it, I'm sure you were the one that set the General up when he went to Lowell Tower.""You told Jason about our plans didn't you?" John frowned.He not
"Very well. Bring her to me, that's if she can move.""Yes, General," John replied with a frown. After John left Sullivan pressed both of his hands together and then leaned forward as he sighed in exhaustion. He was trying to put his emotions in check before he did something crazy. He gazes towards the door awaiting John's return. The door burst open and he blinked his eyes furiously as he wondered how they were able to get here so quickly. To his disbelief, it was his wife, Erica. He could tell she was on fire with the way she matched inside to meet him. "Hey..""Oh, so we are on Hey bases now." She snapped. Oh, she was pissed, he thought. Unfortunately, he was not in the mood for all these dramas. "I'm sorry." He said weakly. "You're no fun." Erica rolled her eyes as she strode over to his side. "Baby are you okay.". She said softly as she wrapped her hands over his waist. She rested her head on the side of her neck then she exhaled. "I don't know, but I will be fine.
John opens the door to Evelyn's room. His cheeks were still flustered as he gazed upon Evelyn who was enjoying the warmth of the sun through the window.She looked so calm and peaceful.Most important she looked so beautiful.She had this lingering sense of purity emitting within her.He didn't think he had ever seen this side of her.The Evelyn he knew was almost acting cocky.She had a somewhat intimidating confidence and it made her unapproachable to most men.Now didn't have her regular intimidating aura, she was simply just like every other woman."What did he say?" Evelyn asked.John quickly snapped from his thoughts and composure.He didn't have been staring at her for minutes."The general is ready to receive you." He said.Evelyn's eyes lit up with joy.She was about to move towards the door when John held her hand quickly."You don't possibly think you want to leave in that." He gestured towards her bathrobe.Evelyn quickly clenched her robes when it came to her realization
"What happened exactly." Erica exhaled in exhaustion. She was beginning to lose her patience with all of Evelyn's boring talk. "I know the General was wondering why I betrayed him." Evelyn started. "I didn't have a choice. After my parents passed away I made a deal with the five great families.""They would support me with everything I need in exchange for working for them." She said, trying to keep her composure. "That was why I agreed to be a spy and accepted your offer," Evelyn said turning her gaze to the general. "Then it all got worse when I decided to trust the wrong person when I should have just trusted you from the beginning." Evelyn burst into tears. Sullivan closed his eyes, he could feel the remorse coming from her. He felt bad for whatever situation she was in. "Who did you trust?" Sullivan asked with curiosity."I trusted Jason jab." Evelyn sobbed with sad laughter."What a fool I must have been to love someone like him.""What a fool you are indeed," Sullivan r
