Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 107: The Fallen Comrade
The sun dipped low over the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the lake behind the Lokir Estate. The waters, usually calm and reflective, seemed to shimmer with the vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple, painting a serene yet somber backdrop for the evening's ceremony. Tonight, the air was thick with unspoken grief, the weight of loss pressing heavily upon the gathered company.A small, solemn group had assembled on the expansive lawn that stretched to the lake’s edge. The dragoons stood in formation, their faces etched with the silent sorrow that came from losing one of their own. The soldiers of Targu’s provincial army, stationed at a respectful distance, stood at attention, their rigid posture a testament to their respect for the fallen. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath, allowing only the soft rustling of leaves to break the stillness.At the center of the gathering, a simple wooden stand held a single framed photo of Gabriella. There were no remains to bury, no b
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 108: Stepping Into the Light
Kerrigan woke slowly, wrapped in the warmth of Conor’s embrace. His arms were strong and secure around her, offering a comfort she hadn’t known she needed until recently.She shifted slightly, her head resting against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. For a brief moment, the troubles of the world outside their room felt distant and unimportant.Conor stirred beside her, his eyes fluttering open. He smiled softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. “Morning,” he murmured, his voice still thick with sleep.Kerrigan looked up at him, her emerald eyes bright in the early morning light. “Morning.” She took a deep breath, savoring the quiet moment. “Are you ready for your announcement today?”Conor hesitated, his brow furrowing as he stirred to full consciousness. He turned his gaze toward the window, where the sun was just beginning to cast its light over the estate grounds.“I don’t know,” he admitted after a pause. “Not really. Speaking to crowds… it’s

Conor stood at the podium, feeling the weight of his mother’s legacy settle on his shoulders.The room buzzed with anticipation, reporters and journalists filling every available space, cameras clicking and lights flashed as they jostled for the best angle, eager to capture the moment.Each was ready to capture every word, every expression, knowing this would be a moment the whole kingdom would want to know about.It had been over a decade since any news had come from Lokir estate and it promised to be world shattering.Conor took a deep breath, slow and deliberate, remembering Aileana’s advice: intentional speech, steady breath, command your voice.Conor exhaled slowly, grounding himself as he began to speak. “Good morning, and thank you all for being here today,” Conor started, his voice calm steady and resonant, carrying the weight of his conviction.“I am Conor Brantley, son of Priestess Rainna, and the current CEO of Vokrizin. Today, I stand before you not just as her son but as

The fabric shimmered with every step, reflecting the light as if it held the very essence of her dragon’s power.It was a seamless blend of their respective powers. She was radiant, a commanding presence of her own, and yet her expression was soft, her eyes meeting his with unspoken support.Kerrigan strode confidently down the aisle, her gaze locked on Conor as she made her way to the podium.Conor’s heart swelled as she approached, her every movement filled with grace and purpose.The room turned to watch, a collective intake of breath as Kerrigan reached the podium and stood side by side with Conor in a display of unity and purpose, claiming her place at his side.She turned to face the press, her posture
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 111: The Unseen Horizon
The Lokir Estate was abuzz with energy. Conor and Kerrigan’s press conference had been a resounding statement—a declaration of intent, purpose, and unity that left ripples far beyond the estate’s walls.The media’s response was already pouring in, a mix of admiration, skepticism, and curiosity. The headlines were splashed with images of the two of them standing side by side, draped in their matched attire that symbolized not only their roles as CEO’s pursuing joint ventures but also something more with their undeniable bond on full display.The weight of their announcement was still settling on Conor as he stood on one of the estate’s balconies, overlooking the sprawling gardens below.The late afternoon sun bathed the grounds in a warm glow, but the tension in his chest kept him from fully appreciating the view. He knew that while they had made their intentions clear to the public, the real challenge was just beginning.Kerrigan joined him, slipping her hand into his as they watched
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 112: The Returning Dragoons
It had been a grueling day. Conor and Kerrigan had spent the morning coordinating with their respective teams, setting up makeshift offices in the expansive Lokir estate, and establishing routines that would allow them to manage both Dragon Corporation and Vokrizin from this remote stronghold. They knew they had to maintain their companies' momentum while dealing with the aftermath of recent events, and every moment felt crucial.The afternoon was equally busy with back-to-back calls and briefings, recapping the current state of affairs and strategizing the next steps. For the first time in days, they were catching their breath, although the weight of responsibility hung heavy in the air.As late afternoon settled over the estate, the sun dipped low, casting the grounds in a warm, golden glow. Vehicles began to arrive, the sound of engines breaking the tranquil quiet. Conor and Kerrigan stepped out onto the stone steps of the main entrance, their faces unreadable as they watched the p
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 113: The Old Guard Returns
Conor and Kerrigan sat side by side at the large wooden table in the grand meeting hall, its surface polished to a shine, reflecting the weight of the day’s work. Despite the beautiful setting, the room was charged with tension and anticipation.Several dragoons had already been interviewed, and most were aging veterans—retired warriors who had served under Priestess Rainna, Conor’s mother, in the years before her tragic death.Their eyes carried the weight of history, and though many were past their prime, they still held a fierce loyalty to Celia and the legacy Rainna had left behind.Most of the dragoons requested roles that would keep them connected to the cause but away from the front lines. Their time as guards was over, but their hearts still burned to be of use.They sought positions within the community center or in similar capacities where they could offer guidance and mentorship. Conor readily welcomed their requests, knowing that their experience would be invaluable in nur
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 114: Shadows and Loyalty
The air was heavy with the day’s events, and both Conor and Kerrigan where tired as they prepared to conduct the last of their interviews.Cathal O’Reilly was called in first. At just 25, she was the youngest of the dragoons they had interviewed so far, but her demeanor spoke of someone who had seen far more than her age suggested.She stepped into the room with an uneasy confidence, her eyes darting between Conor, Kerrigan, and Colonel Eli, finally settling on Reilynn. Her short, dark hair framed a sharp face, and her movements were precise, almost too deliberate, as if she were constantly calculating her surroundings.Cathal took her seat opposite Conor and Kerrigan, her back straight and her gaze unwavering. There was an edge to her questions, a subtle but unmistakable undertone of suspicion.“What exactly happened to Zadok?” Cathal asked, her voice calm but with a tremor of underlying tension. “We’ve heard rumors, but no one seems to have the full story.”Conor met her gaze evenly,
