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.

*** 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
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 130: Dating advice
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
Rejected Billionaire Chapter 131: Unleash Wealth
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
Rejected Billionaire Part 2 - Chapter 1 : Lunch on High Street
Kerrigan stepped away from the podium and wrapped her arm in Conor’s. She couldn’t help but smile as he tipped his fedora to cover his face while the press desperately tried to snap pictures of them. Let them speculate on who he was. It would throw all sorts of fun gossip into the media for days, giving both Dragon Corporation and Vokrizin free exposure. “Well, I think that went well.” She commented to Conor as she took his arm. “You did quite well. I think that should stir the town up for a while,” Conor chuckled. He glanced over at her and asked, “shall we get some lunch?” “Are you buying?” “After you saved me from having to face the media, I suppose I could treat you to lunch. Your choice. Anywhere you would like to go.” Conor offered cheerfully. Kerrigan thought about it, “I honestly am not all that familiar with the finer establishments in town. I spent so much of the past few weeks having food brought in.” “Well, there is a bar I know of on High Street that is supposed to
Rejected Billionaire Part 2 - Chapter 2: CODE BLACK!
Conor spun and jumped back just as a large black vehicle slammed into the curb and stopped inches from Conor, nearly pinning him to the low brick wall surrounding the outdoor eating area. “What the hell mates?” Conor yelled, slamming his hands on the hood. Five men in masks jumped out, each brandishing daggers. “Shit,” Conor said, backing to where Kerrigan and Reilynn were. “Out the back?” Kerrigan asked, just as the door to the store slammed shut and the lock click into place. “Guess that is not an option,” Conor said, grabbing a fork and butter knife off a table. Kerrigan reached down and pulled a small blade from her boot. “Back to back?” Reilynn stepped forward as the first attacker ran up, “Triad, I am the point.” She pulled two extendable batons and flicked them to full length. “We push to the road; Parker will be here momentarily. He will form the quad.” The attackers were hindered by their vehicle blocking the narrow entrance in the brick, so two hopped over the wall wh
