***Targu Province, Kelan Benedict***
Kelan fumed as he sat in his car staring up at Dragon Corporation. Kerrigan had refused to meet with him all week and now her guards were going to kick him out of the building? Fine. Nuclear options were available. He made his way back to Zadok’s office atop the temple mountain fortress. When he arrived, he was surprised that Zadok had actually placed a guard at this door. Perhaps his previous visit had finally prompted him to use some common sense.
“I need to see the Prima. Tell him its urgent.”
The guard disappeared inside. Well, clearly Zadok had only hired a doorman, not a true guard then. A moment later he reappeared, “The Prima is waiting.”
“Good.” Kelan went in, trying to check his impatient nerves. He found Zadok sitting at his desk reviewing a stack of papers. Kelan tried to appear jovial and friendly. “Zadok, Good man. How are you today?”

*** Jinstain, Bayan Province - Kerrigan Lokir ***Saturday morning dawned clear and bright. Kerrigan woke to Evelynn rummaging through the closet. “What are you doing?”“Hmm? Oh, sorry. I thought we might get you out in the park today and was looking for a good disguise. However, I discovered that it seems Conor still has quite a few suits in here. He does look rather sharp in these tan suits don’t you think?”“Hadn’t noticed. Mind shutting the curtain, that sun is brutal.”“Hadn’t noticed? Kerrigan. Fine. Be that way. Well if you don’t want to go to the park today then fine, I will go with Parker and Conor by myself. I am sure Reilynn and Gabriella will not hold it against you to much for keeping them here on such a nice day.”“Park? As in not the loop around the pond?”“That is right. Mr. Brantley and Mr. Townson have agreed to escort you to a park ne
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 117: Consider Thier Lives
Conor helped unlock Kerrigan’s chair and they continued their stroll through the park, with Conor gently guiding her wheelchair.“Why here Conor?” she asked softly.“I hope that you will not be in that chair for long. I hope that one day you will be able to stroll this path on your own, and will know of its beauty for what it is.”“Why?”“Because, Miss Lokir. While things may seem uncertain right now, I realize that soon enough you will return to your desk and continue your pursuit of business. This is what you and I do. However, I have seen you in Jinstain before. My staff have already mapped some of your intentions for Jinstain. I am not saying for you to stay out of my town, but I am asking for you to see if for its true potential. See it for what and who it was ment for. These people mean far more than millions of dragon coins in my own coffers. I just hope you can see a glimpse of that before you make t
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 118: Chat with Natalie.
Kerrigan watched as Conor climbed into an SUV with Parker and drove off. Evelynn come up behind her then, “Well, that seemed to go well. Did you two have a good chat?”“A very enlightening one, that is for sure. He is more than he seems.” Kerrigan replied softly.“I’ll say.” Evelynn smirked. “Of all the places you could be for your recovery, I have to thank you for bringing us here. At least the ‘scenery’ is rather improved over what we had in Velyki.”Kerrigan cracked a small smile. “Perhaps it is at that. Well, I suppose it is time to take me back. I need to check in with Natalie anyway.”“Are you not giving that poor girl the weekend off?”“I promised her I would check in. she seems to think the sky will fall if I don’t call her.”“Fine, but you need to tell her to rest some. I know she is use to you being there to deal
Rejected Billionaire chapter 119: Lawsuit
Monday morning, Kerrigan had Evelynn braid her hair in two rows that crossed just above her ears and connected into a single braid down her back.“Mr. Nuri sent word that Conor is coming in to meet his whole team this morning. he invited you to join.” Evelynn was telling her.“Well, we cannot be late then.” Kerrigan said.“It is just down the hall. Thankfully you only have to roll down three doors. Its amazing not having to take the trolly car down the mountain every morning.”Kerrigan grimaced remembering those cold descends down from the temple. She definitely did not miss that commute. She only really missed her violin she had left in her room.When Evelynn declared her ready, they situated a blanket across her legs again, and wheeled out into the hall where Reilynn joined them and followed toward the conference room. Through the glass walls Kerrigan saw Conor set down his briefcase and take off his tan suit j
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 120: Eibhlin
(Conor’s POV)Conor tried to get back to Vokrizin on Tuesday but that morning had brought massive storms. He called Colonel Eli and learned that a small team had stayed the night and were the only ones there Tuesday. Thankfully, the weather cleared by evening and Wednesday when he came in, everyone seemed to be in good spirits.Conor found Colonel Eli and ask, “Do you think we will be able to take miss Lokir to the community center today?”“The weather is cleared out nicely. From what my people say, storm damage is minimal, just some flooding that is mostly in the lower city so I don’t think it will be an issue. If anything, it might be a good day to go. I bet my niece will be there organizing the kids to clean the place up after the rains while any reporters and such will be focused on the docks to notice us heading that way.”“Good deal. If you would, go ahead and send a team. I will go find miss Lokir and meet

*** Kerrigan’s POV***“Eibhlin! You came!”Kerrigan watched the little girl run up to her and take her hand. She smiled dumbly and squeezed, “Wh- What? Eibhlin? Who is Eibhlin?”“You are silly. Come and see.”Kerrigan let Reilynn wheel her after the little girl who let them to a wall with several pictures drawn in chalk.“What is your name?” Kerrigan asked.“I am Hannah, this is Maggie.” Little Hannah said, pointing to Maggie, who had followed them.“Hello, Hannah. What do we have here?” she asked gesturing at the chalk drawings.“This is Miss Cara. That one is Mr. Johnathan. We added Mr. Peter in next to miss Cara. He is nice.” Explained Maggie.Hannah pointed toward two other figures standing next to each other, “That one is you, Eibhlin, and that one is Mr. Conor.”“Me? You keep calling me, Eibhlin.
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 122: "Help Her."
*** Conor POV*** 122Conor sat down hard. “I am sorry Johnathan. I didn’t even think to ask sooner what you all would need here. Are their families ok?”“Several are without power, but the city will have that fixed by the end of the day. The main issue is they live in basements, lower streets and other places that flood easily. Some still have standing water, but most just are very damp right now. Most of the town is prepared for that kind of storm. They happen often enough. But those people just cannot afford to live in better conditions.” Johnathan explained.A knock sounded on the office door. Conor nodded and Johnathan opened it to find Kerrigan and Reilynn. “Ah, ladies. Come on in if you like.”“Were we interrupting?” Kerrigan asked.“Johnathan here was just filling me in on the condition of some of the families of the kids outside. Some didn’t weather the storm as well as we mi
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 123: Healing
*** Kerrigan POV***123Kerrigan lay in bed staring at the tiny bracelet. The green and black bands blended with highlights of gold thread. She remembered when Hannah had tied it around her wrist, “Now, Eibhlin, we are friends.”Hannah had handed her a set of other strings to take back with her if she wanted to make another. She looked at the colors Hannah had chosen. Blue, green, gold and black. She looked at the blue and thought of Conor’s eyes. She sighed. Since when was she a moon eyed girl thinking about a guy? She had a company to run after all. A life of her own that didn’t have time nor place for such nonsense.However, that name struck at her heart, a long forgotten memory.A knock came at the door and Evelynn came in. “Mr. Brantley would like to see you.”“I am decent, he can come in here. It will take me too long to get out there.”A minute later Conor came into the room. “May I
