Jake Caswell smiled at the lady in front of him."She'll do perfectly."The man at his side bowed and snapped his fingers twice. The men who stood behind the lady nodded and grabbed the strings of her dress.Though tears streamed down her face, she still turned around and with that action, the makeshift dress she was wearing came undone and pooled at her feet.Jake smiled even more at that and he rubbed his palms together.She was perfect. She was beautifully perfect.Hazel eyes and dark hair, pale white skin and an hourglass figure.An almost perfect mirror of Miranda Olsen, but of course different in her own way."I'll be paying for her in full. Get her ready and send her over to my place."Jake saw the man behind him nod again and knew it was settled. He would be getting his slave and he would use her in whatever way he wished.There was one exact way he planned to use her though. And it was as bait. He would use her as bait to lure that fool he had seen at the party with Jane o
Jane scrunched her face up at what she was seeing."This can't be right, can it?"She watched as the lady behind her simply shrugged and collapsed on the chair behind her.Aubrey seemed tired. She looked tired too.If she was to guess, she would say Aubrey Van Damne was tired of looking for Con, but so far she hadn't shown any hints of that. Something else was bothering her at the moment. Jane suspected she already knew what that was."You ex husband is back isn't he?"Aubrey only nodded her head and let out a sigh. For the past week now, John had been paying regular visits to her house just so he could threaten her again. According to him, his parents wanted his son back, the same son he had disowned and called a bastard.Aubrey could feel tears welling up in her eyes as she thought of that but she tried to swallow them back and focus on what was at hand first.Con was still missing. Even more so now.The news article that went viral on the internet a while back had revealed that h
"I'm sure it's him now."Jane nodded and couldn't help the smile that spread on her face.She wasn't really sure what the feelings she had for Con meant yet, but she couldn't just stand around and watch him get into danger because of Adeline."Sector 8 is controlled and run by one of the members of the Olsen family. I heard my uncle talking about it the day the building went up in flames. If Con was there, and if he was the one who set it up in flames, then it's only safe to assume that he did so on the orders of Miranda herself."Aubrey hmmmm'ed."You think he was being sent on missions by her?"Jane nodded."I personally don't feel there's anyone who can trap Con against his will. I've seen the way he behaves at work, he has the mind of a criminal and the heart of a god."Aubrey chuckled. She remembered when had locked the front door once and forgot to put the key beneath the rug where she usually kept it. After a long day at work, she finally remembered and rushed all the way home
"B..bb....Boss?"Con ignored Xavier's words and kept on advancing towards him."B..boss. Hey it's not nice to scare me like this y'know. I could have a heart attack.""What did you tell the ladies we're living with about me?"The sound of the samurai blade as it dragged on the floor pleased Con and the way Xavier seemed to be quaking in fear pleased him even further.Oh, this was going to be good.This was going to be really good."You're not afraid of me anymore, are you Xavier?"The sword came down with a clang just beside Xavier's head. "If you did, you wouldn't go around spreading such vile rumors about me."Xavier saw the sword in Con's hands go up and his life flashed before his eyes again.He was going to die.He was going to freaking die!The ring of the blade as it lodged itself into the wall just beside him made him almost pass out.Hells. This was getting too scary!Con looked at the sword in the wall and noted how Xavier had his eyes closed in fear. He nodded contently an
The sound of cars and people made for a weird sort of symphony.Con let himself bask in the feeling of that before he finally sat down on one of the chairs by the side of the road.There was a stream flowing where the chair faced. Away from the road and backing whoever had been following him all this while.He would watch the water for a while, and if whoever was trailing him didn't come to him with a knife to his neck or an explanation, then he would walk over to them and get an answer the good ol' way.Con felt movement behind him and he smiled.He turned around to see a surprising sight.He wasn't being followed by a man, but by a woman who had a veil on her face. Her dress wasn't much too and it revealed flashes of her skin.He could already tell just by looking at her."You're the one who was in my room last night weren't you?"The veiled lady simply nodded her head slightly and walked around to come sit beside him.She was barefooted and Con found that strange.After she sat dow
It was a sunny day and Con could already feel the need to stay in bed rising.He hated what he would have to do today, but he would have to if he ever wanted to break the mystery of who was trailing him.She had come again last night, the veiled lady, and she had dropped yet another velvet fabric on his bed.The fact that this lady still got into his room even though he had made sure to lock that night bothered him. She couldn't have walked through the wall could she?And she had walked into his room unclothed again. It bothered him. He had to find out what the address on the paper she had given him meant. If it was a location, then he would have to go there, but if it was some secret code he was meant to decode then he would do that too.He had to get some of his questions answered and he had to get this irritating itch at the back of his mind taken care of."Couldn't sleep again?"Xavier cocked an eyebrow at his boss as he walked into the room and the look on Con's face was enough
"Why do you think it's turning that sickly green color?"Aubrey found herself panicking the more she held the pentagon shaped object in her hands. It had been pure black a few days ago, now it was this sickly green and it was scaring the shit out of her.Jane was behind her, with a question mark on her face and Con was still missing. The fact that she had found this object among his belongings didn't make her feel relaxed either.The sudden color change made her feel worried. What of this thing was connected to him somehow?Jane could see Aubrey was panicking, and not a mild sort of panic but evident and prominent panic. She was freaking out because the thing in her hands had changed from its deep black color to a sickly green one.All established information, but at the same time it was the sort of information that caused one to feel confused. To begin with, why did Con have something like this?She could swear she had seen this object somewhere, maybe somewhere in a book or in a n
The Dramain museum was a massive hulking structure.It stood two storeys high and almost two acres long. Relics adorned the walls and artifacts stood in glass cages.So far, Jane didn't look impressed."How long do we have to keep on searching for this thing?"Aubrey simply chuckled to herself and shook her head."We haven't even been here for an hour yet and you're already tired."She watched as the other lady let out an exasperated sigh and turned back to looking at the artifacts on the walls.The Dramain museum had been around for as long as anyone could remember. It was a building that was open to the public and which housed all manners of strange and odd materials.Like the golden eye on the wall and the ram's horn inside a glass case. The museum always had a steady influx of people coming in and going out.Such a place would have been robbed blind under normal circumstances, but nothing about the museum was normal really.No one could steal anything from it. Not even some of the
