“if you say that next time, you might get what you deserve.” Gibson said flatly, his expression completely unreadable from the inside out. His eyes were hard to read at all, which is saying a lot since they were normally one of those things that people couldn't read in the first place. He had on a white button down shirt under a navy blue blazer that went over it with black slacks and he looked perfectly put together for once. That was rare. Not that anyone else noticed this about him though - nobody ever did except for her. She thought it best to stay quiet after that comment anyway.
It was the first day of classes for the new student students and most of them already knew that Gibson would be the only instructor who showed up early. As usual, Gibson himself was not going into class because he was still recovering from surgery several months ago, and so the other instructors were not present yet either. It took quite a bit of convincing (and she wasn't

“If this was the case, then Gibson isn’t the one to be scared about,” said Ryan quietly. ‘He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and knows how to handle himself, especially considering that he came out of hiding in a small town when it had never been more than a couple hundred miles from New York City. He’d have a lot going for him.’ A smile touched his lips at the thought.Gibson looked down the hall at him, and the corner of his mouth quirked upward for an instant before dropping into place. His eyes shifted away again almost as quickly, but Ryan caught the expression in them. It wasn’t a grin – it was a little sad, almost wistful. It didn’t look natural on him. ‘It must not be a day that comes every day,’ Ryan thought, trying to push aside a pang of pity. This guy had lost everything, including friends, family… even a woman who he had probably loved passionately, until it became clear there
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 171: Beneath
If only Gibson did his business well enough to earn the money for his next flight back home. But no, he couldn’t do anything right. He was an idiot and a failure.It had started two days ago when he realized he didn’t have the cash to pay the fare. He’d spent all of it on plane tickets and hotel bills, so now he would have nothing. And that meant one thing: he would have to go back to work without earning any kind of income at the moment. That was the first day he’s been unemployed in years.He hated it already, but then he thought that if he got off this train, he might be able to find something he could do with his life. It wasn’t like he wanted to do the work; he just loved to see people who worked hard, doing hard things, making big money. Maybe that was how he’d end up making his fortune.But there was no way he was going back to being that kid working on his uncle’s farm anymore. Not after everything he’s seen happ
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 172: Carters
When Gibson got home, he couldn’t find his house keys anywhere and a quick look in the kitchen revealed that it had all but been gutted like an old woman for firewood. He wondered idly how much it was worth to have someone come over, clean it up and then go to work on his apartment before they left – or even if he could call anyone now without looking crazy as well as guilty.He found them on top of the fridge where he’d left them when leaving work at two in the morning last night, which seemed like only yesterday. The clock read ten past six, and although he hadn’t gotten a lot of sleep the previous night he felt more rested than he had in some time. Not enough sleep and not enough energy, maybe, but he could feel his headache getting better already. He knew that it would come back tomorrow after he ate something and slept some more.For dinner, though, he decided to just microwave leftover chicken nuggets and salad from one of the boxes that
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 172: Cast
Days went by and Gibson was wondering what went wrong with his business partner’s family.His wife had just given birth to her first child, who was now four years old, while he was working on an important project for their clients. She wasn’t going to be able to leave work soon as she had to help take care of two small children. And since they were in a hotel, it would probably be at least another week before they could get back to their home. Which meant he needed to go out there and find something to make that little girl smile again. Something that would make him feel more confident than he felt right now. He had no idea where to start finding things for a baby. They should have come with the package or at least have been sent already. There hadn’t even been a mention about it yet in the paper…He sighed tiredly and rubbed his forehead. “Why me?” he asked out loud without meaning to. “This is really not what I need right now!&r
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 173: How do you feel
Gibson sighed and adjusted his tie. He’d been in a foul mood all day since that stupid letter from the Department of State arrived yesterday, but no one would have thought it to look at him now, standing next to his desk with a frown on his face. His secretary sat down at the other end of her mahogany desk, nervously fiddling with her pen as she stared at her boss’s closed office door. “Mr. Gibbs, there’s a man outside your office. Would you like me to ask him if he can come back later?” The secretary whispered, almost inaudibly. She was a petite thing, barely five feet tall and very pretty, even when she looked like this. ‘Not so bad’ had been what everyone used to say about her when they’d first met her. Now though, after months of working for Gibbs… well, nobody really knew what was going on with her. Gibbs nodded and said, “Yes please,” before taking the chair next to his secretary's desk. “I don’t know how long he will take. I should probably let him know.” “Okay. Uh… do you n
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 174: Holidays
Gibson told his business partner he was heading out for lunch on his day off, and the man simply smiled and said, “Be careful. And don’t forget your phone. It will get you killed in this city.” Gibson didn’t know if it was the joke or the fact that the man knew who he was talking about, but something inside him tightened up just a bit at the remark. The rest of the day was spent trying to figure out what could have happened with his phone, which had gone missing during the night. But after all that work, he finally found it, wedged between two bookshelves in the back room of the bookshop where he lived. He picked the device up off the floor and put his clothes back on before leaving the shop, but then stopped by his desk and took a few extra minutes to pick up his badge and gun and pocketknife, as well as a small package that contained a spare set of keys to his apartment, in case he couldn’t make it home. But when he arrived back in the shop, he was surprised to find his partner al
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 175: Ghastly
Gibson’s office is an odd mix of modern and old fashioned. It’s spacious and clean but the furniture was built by someone more than a decade ago. Even with the large windows allowing sunlight in he finds it hard to get his work done, which is precisely why he prefers his room downstairs on the ground floor. This time the sun doesn’t come through the glass like a spotlight. There’s no one there for him to see when he works at night so he can just do what he wants without being bothered. Today, however, something has caught his eye as he walks past. He stops at his desk and picks up a picture frame sitting next to one of his files that contains a black and white photograph of a teenage girl, probably about twelve years old, with light brown hair pulled back into two pigtails. She seems pretty normal looking except for her bright eyes and a slight smile that doesn’t quite reach them. Her name is Hannah and she’s only four. A little too young to be out in public without adult supervision,
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 176: Features
Gibson was a busy guy, he always had been. His days were numbered and his work schedule was a mess, but he still pushed on, pushing through the exhaustion of his body and mind alike. A part of him would’ve liked to blame it on the adrenaline coursing through his veins at night, or maybe on just how much time he spent working at home. There wasn’t really a right reason for his fatigue in the first place. It came out of nowhere. One minute he was walking to a job interview, the next his phone chimed with an incoming text message. The moment his eyes landed on the screen there was a new string of messages pouring into his inbox:You are the only one who understands me. I can’t talk about myself or my life, because it’s so complicated. I don’t want anyone to pity me, I don’t even know why I’m telling you this… But now that I’ve started… You’re the only person who knows. You get it, don’t you? It isn’t just some weirdo who gets me? It’s not just some guy who is trying to make me feel bet
