Aubrey walked through the hallways of Xavier's home and tried to keep the look on her face neutral. She could already tell that she wasn't going to be able to do it. It was too hard to keep a straight face in this kind of situation.She had to talk to Xavier.Ever since he had come back from seeing Con out he had locked himself in his room with his daughter's laptop. It was sort of expected that he would do something like that.Jane didn't seem too bothered by it because that was how Xavier behaved sometimes, locking himself out from people and from the world in its entirety. She would have let him do that if she could, but now that this matter concerned Con, she couldn'tTo begin with, she was very sure that Xavier had known Con was in the Black mansion all these years. He had spoken of Con having a wife and a child. He had spoken of Con having a life and that infuriated her for some reason.She had spent the past ten years of her life waiting for him!She had spent ten years of her
Aubrey felt her head spin again but she could tell that she now had Xavier's attention. Almost ironically his hands were still flying across the keyboard and he was still tapping away, but he was looking at her which was at least a step in the right direction."I said," What is it about Con that makes you love him so much? " We still don't know how the hell you two know each other."Xavier scrunched his face up at that. Sure he did love his boss, but it was only in the boss and worker kind of relationship. He wasn't even sure if Con would still consider him an underling. They were more or less friends now, associates even. They were partners, yes, that was it.He was Con's partner and he naturally couldn't help but show...... love?Xavier shook his head and stopped tapping on the keyboard. A file was downloading already and he could see it was the one he wanted. Still he had to answer the drunk lady's questions though."I don't really love Con that much, at least not in the way you
The locals of Destiny's island had a legend they passed on from generation to generation.A legend about gods who walked the face of the earth, defending it from a great evil and maintaining the fabric that was time and space.In those days, no one was safe. Demons popped out of portals and snatched random women from the side of the road.Fathers went off hunting and came back either dead or turned into beasts.Some would have called the powers behind this magic, and in a way it was.But at the same time it was not.Con snapped out of the trance he had fallen into and he stepped back from the wall. He could feel the way his body was vibrating and he could tell that something wasn't normal here. The average human couldn't hear a wall speaking, but that was exactly what he had done. He had heard a wall speaking and he couldn't believe it.What was that story he had just seen all about?It felt so real and life-like.Con felt the budding need to touch the wall again but before he could
Xavier took a deep breath and he rolled his eyes as he looked at the ladies on his bed. They had both fallen asleep after he had opened the folder for them to take a look at it. Aubrey had said she recognized the image on the front page. It had been branded onto the head on the file. Once the file was opened, that image would be the first thing anyone saw. Aubrey said she recognized it, but she couldn't really recall where she had seen it while in her drunken state so she had suggested sleeping and resting for a while to clear her mind. Jane had also suggested she would do the same thing, she had also been drunk and the bath she had taken didn't really help to dissolve any of the alcohol in her system. All in all they had both slept on the bed and they had been sleeping since then. It had been about 10 on the clock when they hit the stack, but instead of sleeping for an hour or two they had slept for about five hours going onto six now. It would soon be morning again and they
The sun broke through the clouds the next day in Glover city and Con smiled to himself as he stood up from the bed.It was a new day and a new dawn and he was ready to wreak some random havoc. It all depended on how well the opportunity presented itself though so he would do well to make sure he looked out for it.Last night's discussion with John had ended on a very pleasant note and he was very proud of how he had handled it. He was now the heir to the Black family and he would be taking over the family affairs today.To any random person, the smile on Con's face would have looked delightful. Some would have considered it heartwarming even. It was as bright as the sun shining in the sky and as warm as a hot bath, if anyone looked closely enough, they would even be able to notice a slight sparkle in his eyes, like his life was finally making some sense and he was elated to see what the world held for him next.Of course there was someone else in the room. Someone who had his hands
Janette Argon looked at the man on the cover of her magazine and she released a dreamy sigh."Xavier Frost."The only man her heart ached after with so much passion that she would give anything to be near him for just a few minutes.Her new husband was by her side. Ray Finland. The son and heir to a major aviation company in all of Glover city.His family had resented and refused their affair because of the fact that she was already married. They were all her father's associates before he died and they were aware of her marriage with Derek.Just the thought of the bastard was enough to put a frown on her face and she rolled her eyes.That was why she had gone through all that stress to get rid of him. It annoyed her to no ends that she had to think of him sometimes.In the area of looks he wasn't lacking, he had a strange handsomeness to him and maybe that was why she had tolerated his rubbish so much. She had given her father the illusion that she was happy with the marriage he had a
Xavier felt the ice core in his body responding to something but he ignored it. For now he had an even bigger problem.One that was standing right in front of his gate with a league of lackeys and a foolish, stupid like grin on his face.If Jake could hear the thoughts rolling through Xavier's mind he would have wiped the lustful look on his face right off.No one could really tell if his gaze was directed at Xavier, or if it was directed at Aubrey, or Jane who stood beside her. They could all just tell that he was looking very lewdly in their direction and as such a brimming hate for him was already in their hearts.Jane could already feel her hands itching for her to get her gun and grab a hold of it. She always kept one on hand now and one of the reasons she did that was because of this clown right here.Jake. The fool whose guard had slapped her once. She had thought that he would have died by now. He never really did have good survival instincts, actually having the guts to run
Jake went down like a block of ice. He stumbled and crashed into one of his men right beside Xavier.Con nodded and smiled at his work. He had always wanted to do that.Still this whole situation was leaving him quite confused. He had been in his car all this while and he had watched how Xavier slammed the other man against the bars of his gate. He had also watched as Jake foolishly ordered his men to shoot the lock on the gate open and he had gotten down at that point.When he saw Jake actually slap Xavier, he made his decision."Should I cut off one or two of his arms?"Xavier took Con's hands as the other man extended his to help him up and he cocked his head to the side in thought."Just one, preferably the one he used to hit me."Con nodded and walked over to the still fallen and dazed Jake. It was a wonder how one person could be so annoying every time they met.First Adeline, someone he had been specially asked to protect, and now Xavier.He must have a death wish.Con offered
