Constantine radiated an intense killing intent. His mouth had curved up into a sinister smile.
Who the hell did this fool think he was?
Constantine ignored the screams Aubrey's ex husband was letting out. He only tightened his grip on the hand he had captured.
He would make sure that John wouldn't use his hand again.
Con felt someone touching him softly and he turned to catch the panic in Aubrey's eyes.
She didn't want him to hurt her dumb ex husband too much. Constantine let out a resigned sigh and threw John back.
No one expected him to go flying into the wall!
John hit the wall with a thud and he felt his spine let out a sound.
What the hell!
He raised his head to look at the insolent son of a bitch that had caught his hand and almost broken it. The look Constantine returned made him feel that chill go up his spine again.
John looked to his body guards.
"Is it until he kills me that you'll do something. Attack him you fools!"
Constantine only smiled as the six men approached him.
He moved and in a flash they were all on the floor. They hadn't even seen him coming.
Constantine grabbed one by his neck and threw him over the wooden railing. The man screamed and flailed his hands as he went down to the floor of the living room. The layout of the house was that of an old Victorian style home.
Aubrey had her eyes wide and she watched as John's men tried to hit Constantine, and failed.
Con moved like the wind.
His movements were practiced and sleek. He didn't hesitate.
He didn't think twice before he hit anyone.
Aubrey would have been screaming at the sight of violence, but this didn't look like violence. It looked like a dance.
A dance of pain and punches.
John's men were receiving a beating.
She clasped a hand over her mouth as Constantine tipped yet another man over the wooden railing that bordered the third floor. The man screamed as he fell and Aubrey felt like laughing at how that scream sounded so ladylike.
John looked so baffled.
He couldn't understand what was happening.
There was blood on his men but it was their blood. Aubrey's lowlife monster had bashed them against each other, using them to deal injuries on each other and making a total mockery of the professional and trained guards he had hired to protect him.
Against this man they could hardly protect themselves!
No one had to tell John to run.
He took one look at four of his men on the floor, writhing in pain and leaking blood from different parts of their face, and he ran.
He practically stumbled halfway down the first flight of stairs and fell down the rest.
His face was sheet white as he ran out of the house, like he had seen a ghost and he couldn't speak about what his eyes had seen.
Con didn't even have to do too much after that.
The rest of the guards got up like their asses had been set on fire when they felt the eyes of someone on them, someone they considered to be the devil himself at this point.
They half fell-half ran down the stairs and Aubrey watched it all with wonder in her eyes.
Not a drop of blood was on Constantine. His shirt didn't even look rumpled.
Con only smiled at her and politely offered her his hand.
She took it without hesitation and followed him down the stairs.
They walked out the door together just in time to see John and his men getting into their cars and driving off like a monster was after them.
The smile on Aubrey's face was enough to make any man want to be at her beck and call forever. She looked incredulous as well as she did happy.
Her mouth was slightly open and her eyes contained a new found wonder. She looked at her tenant and she couldn't help the slight tear that fell off her cheek.
"Thank you. Thank you so much."
Aubrey had started crying and Con could tell that she had gotten emotional. He did the only thing he could do in this situation.
He walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.
"You don't need to mention it. You're my landlady. I can't stand by and watch anyone just bully you."
Aubrey was caught by surprise, both by his action and his statement.
She didn't pull away though. Constantine radiated this feeling of warmth and security that she needed at the moment.
"Thank you. I can't say how much i appreciate this."
Con could only nod his head and smile. Considering the fact that he had been peeping on her whenever she took her bath for a while now, protecting her from her trash husband was the least he could do.
Plus, protecting a beauty was like doing charity work, he was doing it for the betterment of the society.
While Con had these thoughts running through his head, Aubrey was faced with an unexpected challenge.
Her tenant had an amazing scent. One that made her brain think a million different thoughts at the same time. He smelt slightly spicy. Spicy and alluring. Aubrey backed off like she had burnt herself and Con looked at her confused.
"Is there any problem?"
She only shook her head and smiled at him.
"No, nothing."
She looked nervous.
"Um.. thank you again for what you did back there. I'll be heading off to work now. I'll treat you to dinner sometime yeah?"
Con only smiled softly at her and nodded his head. He watched as she got into her car and backed up to drive out of the gate.
Con checked his watch and saw that it was few minutes past nine thirty. He needed to get a new watch. This one wasn't digital.
The turn of events he just experienced this morning made him feel better though.
He had never really spoken to his landlady before, but now he had and he had even hugger her too. She had also returned the hug even.
Constantine inwardly thanked John and his stupid men for showing up as he made his way to work.
Many people watched him as he walked past. Con wasn't by any means the most handsome man, but he was still a remarkably handsome man, remarkable enough to get some beauties to wink at him back when he winked at them.
Some of them rolled their eyes and giggled coyly.
Con let out a content "Ah."
Life was good as a normal man.
Constantine got to his place of work and released a sigh.Ever since his dismissal and subsequent departure from his mercenary crew, he had started working here. The main reason he had come to this town was because of a promise he had made to someone, a promise he intended to keep, so he worked here, as a security guard.Nurain Fashion corporation was one of the fastest rising and leading names in the fashion industry. of Glover city. They dealt in luxury pieces of fashion and jewelry. Each and every dress was pricey and worth the extravagant price. Some top female politicians chose Nurain as the go to brand for anything shopping and fashion related.The company had a value asset of over thirty billion dollars, and although that would seem like a very impressive and powerful status for any company to have achieved, in Glover city, it really wasn't much.The bustling metropolis that was Glover city had a lot of companies with impressive repertoires.Nurain was just one of those compan
Con watched as Jane flushed at his words and tried to keep a blush from spreading to her cheeks. He also watched her fail and chuckled as she blushed furiously.Jane didn't know if to count herself lucky or simply die from the level of embarrasment she was feeling at the moment.She was laying on the body of the man she had been harboring a crush on. And at work no less.Jane stood up as quickly as she could, getting off Constantine like he was a platter of hot coals and she would get burnt if she lay on him too much.Con only grinned slightly as she stood up.Jane was a good person, of course he wouldn't let her fall down when he knew he could do something to prevent it.A manager of Nurain falling down in front of mere guards didn't feel like something that was supposed to happen, and apart from that, Jane always dressed daringly.Her outfits usually had a pattern to them, the same pattern that almost every working lady seemed to use when they were dressing up for work, just that Ja
After all the guards had been assigned their duties, they disbanded from the main hall of the ground floor and went to attend to their various tasks.For Con that task was patrolling the perimeter of the Nurain building. It was one of his favorite things to do.Nurain's headquarters building was a fairly massive one. All of the company's new products would be displayed here first before they made their appearances at the company's smaller retail stores. Con always had a lot to look at whenever he was on patrol.Since this fashion company mostly focused on female wear and especially beautiful females, they were quite known now in Glover city. There were always a lot of patrons around and Constantine always enjoyed watching the beauties as they shopped and had a nice time making themselves beautiful.He was a shameless man, so he really didn't have any qualms with loving beautiful ladies so much, anyone who judged him for it could as well choke on their judgment.This life was very diff
Adeline had gone red in the face.Nurain was a company that had a more than thirty billion dollar total value asset. It was one of the leading names in fashion and one of the fastest rising companies in the metropolitan area that was Glover city.Nurain had a lot of potential, it would one day be one of the most known fashion brands in the world and it was just a matter of time before they went international.And yet here someone was publicly offering her twenty million dollars for her company. Twenty measly million dollars?Constantine wanted to know who this man was. He knew he had seen the face somewhere before, maybe on a poster or simply on the street one day. Con had photographic memory so if his mind was telling him he had seen this guy before, then he definitely had, he just had to think well and pinpoint where.Con closed his eyes and let his mind do the rest of the work. The memory came back to him in a second.He had seen this guy in a bar. His name was Jake Caswell, the
Everyone present knew who Jake Caswell was.Almost everyone in Glover city had heard of the Caswell family. They had a blood relation to the current mayor of the city and they were not a family to be taken lightly. They were seen as an elite family, with connections all over the globe and in all places.They didn't rule Glover city by any means, but they could do some things and no one would stop them.That was the reason why Adeline had felt a bit scared when Jake had told her she had no one backing her up before. That was true.She didn't have anyone backing her and she didn't have anyone looking out for her. She only had herself and her workers. Her brother was no more and neither was any other member of her family.Her brother had given her all their parents left for them and had gone off to join a mercenary group. The news of his death had been brought to her barely half a year ago and she was still trying to cope with that loss. This company and its employees had stuck with her
Jake and his men rushed their fallen comrade to the hospital. The small crowd was dispersed and Adeline was currently pacing the length of her office.That guard!Why did he have to do that?Of all the things for him to do he had to injure one of Jake's men so heavily.Constantine simply watched her as she paced back and forth. It seemed she had forgotten that he was even in the room, or that she had summoned him here almost immediately after Jake Caswell and his men left.Con wasn't complaining though.Adeline Firoan was a stunning woman to watch. She moved like liquid silk, exuding her femininity with each and every step she took and making him more and more entranced with every sway of her hips as she continued pacing.Adeline suddenly felt someone's hot gaze on her, like the rays of a scorching sun. She looked to see the guard staring at her boldly, without any shame or remorse at the sort of look he had in his eyes.What a shameless man.'"Hey didn't anyone tell you it's rude
Con didn't feel like himself for the rest of the day at work. Almost everyone noticed but they decided not to say anything to him about it. What he had done was brave and foolish at the same time, but it was also extremely cocky. Not at all the sort of thing that a security guard would do, especially when he was so low ranked. Con had proven his value though so everyone just stood back and let him sulk. They had all watched him break a man's jaw with a punch, and they had seen the people that had come to threaten their boss flee and rush their goon to the hospital. They had also seen the boss invite Constantine into her office so there was every possibility that he had gotten reprimanded for what he had done. That was probably why he was so gloomy. Con sighed and sat down under the tree he had been eating lunch earlier. He had a slight frown on his face and he looked deep in thought. What Adeline had said was true. He had just put everyone here at Nurain in danger. Jake Caswell
"Hello, am I on to Mr Jake Caswell?"Jake dropped the pic of Adeline he had been trying to jack off to and cleared his throat as he tapped on the button that would activate his end of the receiver.That bitch had put him in a bad mood."Yes, you're speaking with Jake, what do you want?"The annoyance in his voice was loud and audible, maybe even more so than his actual words.He still hadn't been able to get his mind off that piece of shit lowlife guard. He had the guts to hit one of his men!And break his jaw too.Now he was one guard short and he was all pent up.Whoever was calling better have a solid reason to be calling unless he would cuss them out and cut the call.Jake let his hands skirt over his open zipper. He was in his office, with the doors firmly locked and all his pending appointments canceled for the day.Jake heard the creak of a door opening on the other side of the line and he frowned.Had this prick just put him on hold while he was walking around? Fucking imbecil
