Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 95: Sacrifice
Zadok stood, the fractured Soul Stone pulsing in his grip, its dark energy flaring like a twisted sun. The chamber was a battlefield of light and shadow, each strike of magic and burst of gunfire rattling the stone walls.Conor and Kerrigan, despite their combined might, were being pushed back, every ounce of their power barely keeping the dark onslaught at bay.The dragoons were scattered, bloodied but still fighting. Parker’s shoulder hung limp, Reilynn and Evelynn struggled to fend off the shadowy blasts, and Colonel Eli barked orders, his resolve unbroken even as the tide seemed insurmountable.Conor was on his knees, his breath ragged, pain etched across his face as he tried to stand and protect Kerrigan.Zadok’s sneer widened, his face contorted in a grotesque mask of victory. He raised his hand, shadows coiling around it like serpents, ready to deliver the final blow.“Kneel before Falik, and accept your end,” he growled, his voice dripping with malice as the room darkened with
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 96: Fractured Remains
The aftermath of the battle hung heavy in the stifling heat of the chamber, the air thick with the acrid stench of sulfur and charred stone.Conor held Kerrigan close as they sat on the floor, his grip firm as she clutched her knees to her chest, slowly rocking, her soul threatened to buckle under the weight of their shared loss.His own back was a smoking mess of charred skin that hurt to move, but he still held her, refusing to let the woman he loved deal with this pain of loss alone.Gabriella’s sacrifice had saved them all, but her absence left a hollow ache that gnawed at the edges of their resolve.Colonel Eli moved to the edge of the lava pit, his face drawn and grim. His eyes fell on the Soul Stone, its jagged pieces scattered near the molten rock, still pulsing faintly with the dark energy of Falik.The once-whole artifact, so dangerously close to full power, was now a fractured mess, its ominous glow sputtering like a dying ember. Yet even in its weakened state, the stone ra
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 97: The Weight of Leadership
The mine tunnels echoed with the weary footsteps of the dragoons as they made their way toward the exit. The oppressive darkness and suffocating heat of the mine were finally behind them, but the weight of their losses hung heavily in the stale air.Faolan led the way, her keen senses guiding the team through the labyrinth of rock and stone, her nose twitching at every new scent.As they moved, soldiers from the split teams began to rejoin them, their faces grim. Some men were visibly wounded—bandages hastily wrapped around arms and legs, blood staining their fatigues. Many limped, others leaned on comrades for support, but all were determined to get out of the mine with as few casualties as possible.Parker took a headcount, his expression growing darker with each tally. “We’re missing eight,” he said, his voice rough with frustration and fatigue. “Three of the teams are down men, and the rest are hurt.”Reilynn’s face was set in a hard line as she scanned the group. “We knew it was
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 98: Extraction and Decisions
The cool night air was a stark contrast to the suffocating heat of the mine, offering a brief but welcome relief as the team emerged from the underground hell.The clear sky above was dotted with stars and the first hints of morning light, indifferent to the suffering below, but the sound of approaching helicopters broke the stillness, drawing everyone’s attention.Colonel Eli’s team had called for extraction, and now the cavalry had arrived. Three helicopters circled above, their searchlights slicing through the darkness, illuminating the battered group of dragoons and soldiers as they gathered at the entrance of the mine.As the helicopters hovered, ropes dropped, and medics in tactical gear descended swiftly. They immediately began assessing the wounded, their faces grave as they moved from one injured soldier to the next.Conor, Kerrigan, and the rest of the team were exhausted, their bodies pushed beyond their limits, but there was no rest yet. There were decisions to be made, an
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 99: Chaos at Lokir Regional Medical Center
The emergency room of Lokir’s central hospital was in complete disarray. Medical staff moved frantically, their white coats billowing as they rushed from bed to bed, trying to make sense of the influx of wounded soldiers.The sudden surge of military personnel had turned the quiet, orderly hospital into something resembling a war zone.Stretchers clogged the hallways, some carrying men groaning in pain, others unconscious, their uniforms stained with dirt and blood. Shouted orders and the frantic beeping of monitors created a cacophony of sound that only intensified the chaos.Nurses and doctors worked in triage mode, doing what they could to stabilize the worst cases first.Provincial army soldiers from Targu, all clad in their dark blue and silver uniforms, stood watch over every corner of the hospital, their presence a stark reminder of the intensity of the situation.Security was tighter than anyone in Lokir had ever seen, and the tense atmosphere only added to the already palpabl

Evelynn scoffed, unable to hold back. “So, he’s bought his way into power, and now we have to bow and scrape just to hold him accountable for his crimes?”“Not exactly,” Eli interjected, his voice cutting through the tension. “We can still pursue charges against Kelan Benedict. His involvement isn’t covered by his father’s new title, and if we find solid evidence, we can drag him into court.”Parker folded his arms, his expression dark. “But you know they’ll use every trick in the book to stall and deflect. They’ll bury us in legal battles and smear campaigns.”Kerrigan’s mind was racing, trying to piece together a strategy. “We need to be smarter. Gregor’s title may give him legal protection, but public opinion is another story. If we can expose the truth—get the people on our side—Gregor’s newfound nobility won’t protect him from the outrage of the masses.”Her eyes narrowed, “Besides, now that he is nobility, his actions rise to the level of treason.”The Colonel and Captain both sh
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 101: Sanctuary of Stone
The rhythmic thrum of helicopter blades filled the air, a relentless reminder of the chaos they were leaving behind. As the convoy of military choppers sliced through the sky, carrying them toward to the Lokir Estate, a heavy silence hung in the air.The exhausted dragoons were too drained to speak, each lost in their own thoughts, processing the trauma and losses of the past days.Kerrigan stared out the window, watching the dark landscape roll by beneath them. Her heart was heavy with grief, anger, and a gnawing sense of duty. The Lokir Estate had always been a place of childhood memories, of family heritage, and of untapped potential.But now, it would serve a far different purpose. It would be their fortress, their rallying point, and their shield against the looming threats – their sanctuary and a declaration.Conor sat beside her, his expression grim but resolute. Every so often, she felt his eyes on her, a silent comfort that helped steady her frayed nerves.The power they had

“This was yours?” he asked quietly, taking in the details that hinted at the woman he was still getting to know.“Yes,” Kerrigan replied, stepping closer to him. “This was where I grew up, where I dreamed about the future. It seems like a lifetime ago.”She moved closer, her eyes locking onto his with an intensity that sent his heart racing. Without a word, she leaned in and kissed him—a tender, lingering kiss that was both an affirmation and a promise.Conor’s hands found her waist, pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss, pouring all of his unspoken feelings into the embrace.When they finally pulled away, Kerrigan’s cheeks were flushed, but her smile was radiant. “I want you to stay here, Conor. With me.Conor hesitated, his gaze flickering from the bed to Kerrigan. But before he could say anything, she turned to him, her eyes filled with an unspoken promise.Without waiting for a response, she stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his in a soft but determined kiss.
