*** Breanne POV Targu Province, Temple of Abraxas***
Breanne slipped through the halls of the temple of Abraxas on silent feet. She had trained here every day of her life since she was five and knew every hall and every room better than the back of her hand. The kids who grew up here had always mastered these halls better than any one else thanks to their endless games of hid and seek, chase, and cat and mouse. Today, she was tracking Kelan Benedict.
The traitorous bastard had been spotted on the trolly lift by one of her loyal guards who had alerted her. She had left Dragon Corporation and was now closing in on where that bastard had gone. Her sources had guided her to the wing where the Prima held his office. Fresh Dragoon guards patrolled the corridors now that she had never seen before. These men must be some of the Prima’s personal pets then.
She twisted out of sight and down another hall and opened a small door. Brooms and buckets greet

Training that week was brutal. Conor and Kerrigan worked together every morning alongside the Dragoons, pushing their limits and refining their skills. With each passing day, Kerrigan’s wounds healed, and her old speed and agility returned. By the end of the week, the Dragoons had little hope of keeping track of Kerrigan and Conor as they twirled and danced with their practice daggers. Their sparring sessions often took them right through the midst of the other training exercises, causing the Dragoons to curse as the whirlwind of their movement tore between them, only for Kerrigan or Conor to materialize seconds later on the other side of the rooftop.When their final session ended, Conor was putting away the training blades when Kerrigan looked up at him. “Conor, your Gala is coming up soon, right?”“Yes,” Conor replied, wiping sweat from his brow. “Peter is about ready to let us make it public. We’ve been talking to the community and many of the major CEOs in the area to set everythi
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 127: Zelgan Dries
Kerrigan donned a black face mask. She had gotten used to wearing one in Targu Province just to help with the cold air. Now it helped mask her identity to some degree. She also put on her knee high boots and a light gray sweater. She liked this outfit that Evelynn had gotten her, but she was thrilled to finally get a chance to have some clothes tailored to her again. Most of what Evelynn picked out tended to hide her figure, not complement it. She wondered if it was intentional on Evelynn’s part. She made her way out into the hallway, still marveling that she was able to do this under her own power again. Her hand went to Abraxas’s pendent. ‘I will find a way to restore your power.’ Only a gentle brush of consciousness reassured her he still resided within the stone. &nbs

*** CONOR’s POVWhen Mr. Dries was done with Conor’s new suit measurements, he promised he would have it ready for him in a few days and delivered to Vokrizin. Conor headed to the front of the store to wait for Kerrigan. After they had been in the store for over an hour, Kerrigan emerged. At first, Conor though she was wearing something similar to what she had come in with, but soon realized her new sweeter dress was black and tailor fit and followed her figure beautifully. She had new tan knee high leather boots over black pants and had a long tan coat that matched his suit. She had a new scarf as well with swirls of green that made her eyes pop.“Wow.” Was all he could say.Carlos chuckled, “I think we did well if that is all he can come up with. The rest, my dear will be ready soon and we can have it sent to you.”“Thank you, Carlos. You and your team were amazing.” Kerrigan said“Other thing
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 129: Kerrigan's Delight
As they headed back to Vokrizen, Kerrigan let out a small squeal of delight. “OOOO please stop the car and pull into that little shopping center!!” “What is it?” Conor asked, perplexed. “You will see. Come.” Parker turned in and found a spot, jumping out to open the door for Conor and Kerrigan. Conor watched as Kerrigan giddily made her way over to a small shop he had never noticed before. “I know its random, but… well indulge me, please,” She said. Conor smiled at her genuine joy as she opened the door and slipped inside. Conor looked at Reilynn who just shrugged saying, “I tend to not argue with her. Parker and I can handle guarding the door. Go on.” Conor opened the door and stepped into another world. The air hung heavy with the smell of wood shavings, varnish and dust. The hammered-tin ceiling shone high overhead, while open sided wood cases lined the walls, filled with violins, violas, guitars and mandolins of every color and des

When Conor dropped them off at Vokrizin, Kerrigan felt a small pang of loneliness at his departure. She knew it was silly—he would be back Monday at the latest. But still, there was something warm and comforting about being around him. She hugged her new violin to her chest as she walked into the building, Evelynn and Reilynn flanking her as they headed toward the elevator.“So, what do you think is the best way to a man’s heart?” she asked suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence.“Thinking about our new friend, the philanthropist CEO, Mr. Brantley?” Evelynn asked coyly. “He’d be a decent catch from what I can see.”Kerrigan did her best to suppress a blush. “He is rather good with the kids, and it is amazing what he’s doing here. So how about it, what is the best way to a man’s heart?”“Between the fourth and fifth rib normally works best for me,” Reilynn said, deadpan.Kerrigan rolled her eyes. “I’m not trying to kill him, I’m trying to date him, you loveless gargoyle.”Reilynn ch

Monday morning the whole team assembled bright and early at the Vokrizen conference room. “Thank you all for coming in early today. I want to spend some time going over some things with you and finalize the announcement for Tuesday morning.” Kerrigan stood, “Conor and I chatted some, and agreed that I will make the announcement. This will officially end my time in hiding, which I think is fitting and also give a clear sign to my whole company that I am alive and well.” Mr. Nuri breathed deeply. “If that is what you two feel is best.” “We do, but we need to make sure some things are in place. Anna, how goes the land agreements?” Conor asked. “Harden group has agreed to our initial proposal of 1.5 million dragons, though they are reluctant. The Gala and the press they get from it was helpful though.” Anna stated, looking at her notes. “Did we have to give up any of our buildings to make it happen?” Conor asked. “Right now, Dragon

*** Jessica’s POV Jessica looking across the table at Nyman. “I am glad we were able to get lunch together.” “Of course! I would do anything for you!” Nyman said, holding her hand across the table. Jessica jumped a bit when her phone suddenly rang. “Sorry I thought I turned that off.” “It’s ok, it could be important.” Jessica looked down to see her mother calling, “Mom?” she answered. “You will not believe who dared show his face at the mall today.” “What? Who?” “That bastard, Brantley. He had some harlet with him. I told you he was no good.” “Mom, leave the poor man alone. He signed the divorce. He is allowed to move on. I have.” She smiled at Nyman, who mouthed, ‘Conor?’ She nodded at him. “That bastard tried to ruin us and ruin you! You are lucky Nyman was willing to take you in. Jess, I don’t want him to ever work in this town again. I told him as much. You should ask Nyman to ma
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 133: The Announcement
Jinstain, Jessica’s POV Tuesday morning Jessica awoke to a brilliant sunrise over the ocean. She slid out of bed and found a robe, donning the silky fabric as she wondered through the room. Nyman was in the kitchen and walked out a moment later with a cup of coffee for her. They stood at the balcony watching the waves crash across the sandy beach below. Jessica rested her head on his shoulder. “This is nice. I never got to do anything like this before.” “I thought your family had vacations on the islands.” “Sure, family vacations, but I didn’t exactly get to bring a guy along on those. Once Conor was in the picture, we spent all our money on his shop and then dealing with the aftermath.” “Ah. Well, why don’t you go get dressed for a swim and we will test the hot tub out.” Nyman said with a grin. “I don’t really need to get dressed for that.” she whispered. “but, give me a minute and I will meet you there.” Jessica went to the b
