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
Jane stirred the drink in front of her and checked the time on her watch. It was almost eight in the evening, which meant she had either been stood up again, or this person simply wasn't going to make an appearance today. The guy she had contacted assured her that his lead would show up. The same way he had assured her that the lead of yesterday would have video footage of what went down in Adeline's office the day Con disappeared, but that had turned out to be a bust and she had to let Aubrey deal with the guy. Jane looked across the room to see the other woman sitting there, her dark hair like gloss down her neck and her features achingly perfect. She could see why she liked Con, or rather she could see why Con liked her. Jane gave a small nod to the other woman and went back to looking at her menu. She had resumed work the night after Con's disappearance to meet the former Mrs Lambert waiting at the gate to Nurain. It was almost hard to recognise her, especially because of t
Jane and Xavier left the restaurant with Aubrey trailing them behind. Jane had ordered the other woman to do so. Well she had asked really but who was taking note. Aubrey would make sure that Xavier wasn't just another psychopath working for Adeline and she would reveal herself when the time was right, Preferably now that Xavier was leading her to his car. Jane looked around for signs of the other woman but she couldn't see any. She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly as she looked at the black car in front of her. There was no way in hell that she would be getting into a stranger's car all willy nilly. She would need to be assured of her safety first, and as far as she could tell, Xavier was still a stranger to her. She didn't know him. She didn't know his background. He wasn't even from the city and he had that strange crazy feeling around him. So she wouldn't be getting into his car. "I'm not getting into your car." Xavier sighed as he heard those words. What was wro
