Con woke up to the sound of rain pattering down on the house.He turned in the bed, fully aware that this wasn't his bed and that this wasn't Glover City.He had been half conscious when the men in the car had hefted him up and put him on a stretcher. Even when they had to carry him up the stairs, they did it with utmost care.So much so that he didn't really feel disturbed in his sleep.He slept peacefully.Con reached for his phone by the side of the table.The phone he picked up wasn't his but it had a picture of him on it.Con sighed as he put the phone down and looked around the room.With walls painted in dark shades of green and gold and the room tastefully furnished and looking like it had a whole bunch of technological fittings, Con could tell he wasn't in the room of just any family.This was probably the Olson family the guards had kept on going on and on about.Con released a dry chuckle and got up from the bed he was sleeping on. He grabbed the phone, scanned his surroun
The Olsen family resided in a state of the art mansion just outside Glover city.The compound spanned twenty acres and there was a lot of bare land as far as the eye could see. Though most cities were now highly populated and it was almost impossible to find any spare piece of land that wasn't occupied or getting set for construction, the Olson's seemed to have enough power to make sure that their lands stayed intact and they had this sweeping view of the forest.Con liked the fact that they liked the forest but he didn't like the fact that they were holding him captive.The lady in the room hadn't really explained much to him. She was still in there "getting ready" and she had asked Con to please go out onto the balcony.She didn't order him around and that seemed a good enough sign to him, so he didn't make any fuss about having to go to the balcony while she changed her clothes.It was an opportunity for him to scope the house out anyways and plan his escape.Under normal circums
The wall scanned their hands before an AI announced with a loud voice."The Lady Miranda and the young master, Constantine."The small crowd below them broke out into soft applause and Con resisted the urge not to throw this lady down the stairs."Why didn't you tell me we were coming to a party?""Cos this isn't a party you nitwit. Now shut up and stop talking."Her semi silent rasps still managed to convey the annoyance in her voice and Con rolled his eyes at her statement too.This lady had brought him to a party while he was wearing nothing but shorts and a round neck shirt!What kind of person did that?Con ignored the anger and the annoyance that had flared up in him and took his time to look around.On their way here, his new ''wife'', had explained everything to him.Firstly she was now his wife and he was now the son in law of the Olsen family.Secondly she was the one who was going to do all the talking, all he had to do was stand there and look pretty.He mustn't act famili
The strange party continued for a while before Con decided that he had seen enough.No one glanced their way and no one seemed to be taking note of the fact that the lady in his arms could barely breathe properly.He still had her propped up against him, his hand on the small of her back and his eyes darting to and fro as he looked for anyone that would get that freaking AC turned off.The irritant was getting to him too, and he didn't want to imagine what effect it would be having on Miranda.Con glanced down at her and pulled her more tightly into his arms. She didn't hesitate to lean in close and Con found that he was actually feeling protective towards this strange woman.She ignited a strange feeling in him. She felt familiar, in a way."I think you'll have to let me take you somewhere else."Con wasn't even done speaking when he felt her shake her head against his chest."Don't even think of it, we just have to endure this for a few more minutes and then we'll be out of here."
Jake stormed into the hotel room with a gun in his hands.Gabe had a lady riding him and Clark had some girl sucking him off.Jeremy was nowhere to be found so Jake did the next best thing.He shot Clark in the leg.The shot rang out loud."You mad fuck!!!!"The lady who had been on her knees in between Clark's legs screamed and ran off to go hide behind Gabe's chair.Gabe's lady screamed and buried herself into his chest.Clark was holding his leg and cursing loudly as he looked at the new bullet wound on his leg and then at Jake, the one who was currently wielding a gun.Jake could tell that Gabe and Clark would make him pay for interrupting their good time but he didn't care."I thought you guys said we were friends!""I thought you said you would help me!!"Jake lowered his eyes as Gabe tapped the lady on his laps on the shoulder. She got off him and Jake felt something like shame and disgust flowing through him.He had indulged in the pleasures of the flesh like this once, and he
"I can explain....."Con didn't wait to listen to what she had to say."Con please wait..."The way the raspy tone of her voice always made him feel sorry for her annoyed him now.She slapped him! They weren't even fully out of the hall yet and she slapped him!He didn't really know why it hurt him that much, but it did.He was getting sick of trying to help people only for them to stab him in the back. He had tried to help Adeline and she had sold him off to this strange family, and now he was trying to help Miranda of the raspy voice and even she wanted to get her fill of humiliating him."Con please wait. I had to do it. My grandmother would have killed you if I didn't."She could barely speak clearly now but Con could still hear all she was saying.He turned around to look at her and he scoffed."Matter of fact Miss Olsen, your grandmother can't do anything to me. I'd have sent her off to the great beyond before she even thinks of pulling out any of her guns."The lady in front o
Con found that he really wasn't walking into a trap.Miranda didn't take him back to the room immediately.She took him out of the house first and after they walked around the grounds of the house a bit, she suggested they go get some lunch.Con suspected she was stalling so they didn't go back to the room and meet the trap she had ordered her men to set there for him.They could easily sedate him again with Sedative X or they could use the phyths on him.But for some reason Miranda Olsen wasn't doing that and Con had a feeling he knew why.She needed him.She really did need him.It didn't come as a shock and neither did it come as a surprise, but he wanted to know why and in what way.After lunch at some private restaurant that Con wasn't even allowed to see the name of because Miranda had her drivers drive them into the building directly, they had come back home and now it was eight in the evening and about time for some answers.Miranda had received a summons from her grandmother
Miranda explained all the other things she had to as the night went on. From how she had gotten Con from Adeline to how Adeline had been all but eager to sacrifice him to save her company. It would seem Miss Highton simply looked innocent but deep inside she had the mind of a snake. Or maybe she had just been too frantic to protect Nurain permanently and so she had done the next best thing. She sold Con to the lady of the rich and powerful lady who had asked it of her. And not only had Miranda Olsen done her homework on who Con really was, she had also gone a step further to find out what linked Con to Adeline. It was remarkable work really, very impressive sleuthing and Con felt impressed at the fact that she had been able to uncover all she had. She knew he was the man once referred to as the God of Mercenary. She also knew a lot of things about the current happenings in the military world, including the fact that he was almost a legend now, a legend that was fast fading awa
