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
For the rest of the day Con spent time catching up on all that happened while he had been away. Aubrey had become a risk taker, going on adventures and exploring ruins to find long lost artifacts. She could have gotten her own tv show but she refused saying that the crew would only hinder her progress.Jane had become a fashion designer, and not just any fashion designer but a very successful one, even more successful than the brand she used to work for before and whenever she spoke you could practically hear the passion she had for her work.Xavier had gone back into the real estate business even though he didn't plan to.All in all, they were doing very well and it brought a smile to Con's face. They also didn't look at him like he was some ancient monster so he felt comfortable around them.Xavier on the other hand was fiddling with his fork. His heart kept on beating rapidly and the ice core used to neutralize the poison in him kept on revolving at a faster rate .The animal that
Talesein's cave was a small site right outside of Glover city. It was located in a very watery area of the island and as Xavier scrolled through some of the pictures he was seeing, he couldn't help but feel worried.Aubrey had woken up this morning and promptly forgotten all that she had intended to say about the seal used to lock the file he had pilfered from the island's database. He was half expecting some military officials or the CIA to break into his home and arrest him for being a national threat to cyber security, but that would only happen if he intended to get caught and he didn't intend to.Right now his biggest problem was this expedition Con had taken half of his household on.The cave they were going to was one that was half above ground, and half submerged in water.Lisa could take care of herself and Con could take care of all of them if anything happened, but his main reason for worrying was Con's reason for wanting to go to this place.The God of Mercenary never did
Jake looked at himself in the mirror and he could feel rage bubbling up in him at the sight of his broken arm. It hurt like hell.The skin had been directly ripped off and the bone had been pulled out of its socket. He lost an arm!A freaking arm just like that!Jake felt his temper rising and he had to control his emotions so he didn't burst into tears.Why the hell was life always like this to him? How many years had he even spent enjoying the pleasures of his new life? It wasn't even up to twenty years!In the past ten years he had run amok in Glover city. His father had left him a secret on his deathbed.It was the details on how to contact a secret organization named Horizon. They were a covert group that had gained fame and power in the past few years. Their advancements in the field of modified and altered humans was commendable and they held extreme power.More power than any government could ever wield. He had been fortunate enough to make sure that he pursued that contac
Con could feel something weird in the waters surrounding this place. Talesein's cave was half underground and half above the water.They had to wait for a speed boat to come before they boarded it and ventured into the cave. In truth, it wasn't really a cave. It was more of a huge cavern and the way it was almost fully lighted gave it a sort of magical feeling .The sun was high in the sky. The sea was reflecting the light of the sun through its waters and the water was crystal clear.The cave had many parts of it's roof that had been broken off and the sunlight came in through there too. It didn't look anything like a scary cave or a cavern.Con smiled at that. In truth he had actually wanted to just come here on a cruise, but after he had felt a strange presence in the water, how could he just leave without checking out what it was? '"Can we stop here please?"Lisa's voice cut the silence they had been in a few moments ago and Con quirked his eyebrow up at the little girl. She wasn
Lisa Frost sneered at the boat of the young man approaching them in his own boat and the frown on her face deepened . She would naturally not have anything to do with someone like him, but he attended the same college she did and she couldn't help but have a few altercations with him.Con noticed the irritated expression on the young girl's face and he directed his eyes back to their incoming visitors. He would have felt better had they not been in a cave but rather on bare ground and he would have loved to know what gave this young man the right to stare at Xavier's daughter so lustfully. There was someone else with him in the boat though and that was the real reason why he had become attentive to this boat all of a sudden. The other occupant of the boat was an older man similar in appearance to the other one who was looking at Lisa so brazenly.This guy was the main reason why he felt interested in the incoming boat. Abdel could feel the smile on his face about to break. He felt l
