Con got out of bed to feel the edge of his eyes hurting and swollen.Was he really sick?He scoffed at the thought.He had never fallen sick in the past twelve years of his life. His body was stronger than that.No, this was something else.Con stood up from the bed and walked over to the door.This sudden sickness had hit him the night before and only one thing had happened that night. The rains had fallen and he had been visited by that lady creep again.He could feel a headache coming on.Thinking about that strange lady always gave him a headache. His head was banging, almost as if someone had taken a hammer to it and set to hitting his head with said hammer.The severity of the pain surprised him, but they wouldn't keep him from achieving what he wanted to achieve today.Xavier had gone out to find what the object from his dream meant. He had seen that in the dream he had on his first day in the city and after that, last night.The object had flashed in his eyes almost like deja
Con found the fact that he was being followed again a bit funny.It was barely a day since he had last been followed while on a main road like this.First it was the uncouth women.And then the lady with the veil.And now this random person who didn't want to take a hint.Would he never really have the anonymous life he had gotten used to back?Con sighed as he kept on walking and he turned around to see if his stalker was still there. He was.He didn't even bother to conceal himself. He walked right behind him boldly and with a smile on his face.Con found that weird, but continued walking all the same.They were in a public space so he didn't need to worry about being ganged up on and kidnapped. But he couldn't have some random man following him around too. He had to do something about that.Con turned the curve in the road and walked off into an alley. He faked taking a piss and waited for the creep to follow him.Sure enough the man stopped once he got to the alleyway and smirk
Con watched as the lady in front of him blew on her tea and sipped it."Are you okay, miss?"She nodded her head and stole a glance at him as she did so.Con found himself repressing the smile that was about to bloom on his face.What was it with him and meeting beautiful women? He had even slammed her against the wall and tried to choke her but she didn't seem too offended by his actions. In fact she seemed to perfectly understand that he had only been doing it out of self defense and that he hadn't meant to slam her against the wall that hard.She was very considerate.He liked her.She had a voice like a lark and she had that innocent aura about her.Con chuckled.Looking at her fully would make you think otherwise though.The fashion trends in Orion city seemed to be very different from that of Glover city. Especially that of the women here.Their dresses screamed allure and courage. They had skin and they weren't afraid to show it. Con quite liked it. The lady in front of him h
So it would seem the whole "fuck me" line had just been part of a ruse.He was sitting with the lady, alone, in a room, and she didn't seem eager to do anything with him. She could barely even look at him without blushing.Con smirked and cocked an eyebrow up at her."I thought you said you wanted us to...""Sshhh."Con widened his eyes as the lady suddenly moved towards him to place a finger on his lips.She still refused to look directly at him and she was looking to the side of his face instead. He could still see a furious blush on her cheeks and he couldn't help the smile that bloomed on his face.Okay, she was definitely a remarkable woman. So far, almost all the women he had come across actually avoided touching him.None of them had taken the initiative to offer him what she had at the restaurant.He liked this lady. If not for anything, then for this small act she had carried out just now.Con cleared his throat and smiled as the lady moved back. She was very pretty, and she
"Derek please.""Derek!""Derek!!!"Con slammed the head of one of the guards into the wall and watched as the man's head went in and his neck broke.These mad fuckers!They wanted to cut off his arm!!!His own arm!!!Con could feel a chuckle escape from his throat.He would show them. He would show all of them that he wasn't someone to be messed with.The next guard that came at him did so with a gun and Con smirked as he raised his hands up.Okay, maybe he had done enough damage."I don't think you want to point that gun at me."He turned to the lady behind him who had been shouting his new name the whole time."Were you calling my name just now?"Con expected to see something like fear in her eyes but what he saw there surprised him. It was something akin to awe and admiration. He could see her eyes brimming with tears, but he could tell she was not afraid.Hmmmmmmm.Con dodged the punch that had been aimed for his face and raised his hand up to catch the fist that had almost hit
The man sitting at the head of the computer system cocked an eyebrow up at what was being displayed on the screen.Something was wrong with what he had just watched, but he couldn't place his finger on it so he turned to look at the man behind him.Xavier kept his head up in the hair and did his best to look like he wasn't fazed at all. He nailed that expression because he wasn't.If there was anything Con had taught him, then it was that fear was the greatest enemy of any man. If he showed any fear in this situation then he would be giving this person the upper hand, and he needed all the leverage he could get at this point.So no, he wouldn't get scared or even look scared. If this was how he died, then he would die knowing that he was protecting his boss and he was doing the right thing.Ash Olsen tried to frown but found he couldn't.He actually sort of liked the way the man in front of him seemed so fearless. Xavier Frost was someone he had spent a good amount of time digging up
Con glanced at the two people in the car with him and noticed how both of them refused to meet his gaze.The lady who was named Heather simply looked out one window and the red haired Lance looked out the other.They both seemed deep in thought, but he could tell that they knew he was looking at them. They both avoided looking at him and they shifted uncomfortably in their seats when he looked at them.Even the red haired guy seemed to be wary of him and Con found himself smiling at that. He would still pay for that slap he had given him, but before he set about doing that, he would like to get an explanation first."Can I know what's going on?"Con watched as the other two occupants of the car flinched at the sound of his voice and he rolled his eyes. They were acting like two scared kids right after they had put on the show of a lifetime in front of him.The red haired Lance sat up straight and cleared his throat."To begin with, I'd like to apologize for slapping you so hard."Con
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Con watched as Heather nodded and he grabbed her from behind, pulling her close to him. He could almost feel her relaxing under his touch and he scoffed internally. She squirmed a bit in his arms before she turned back to look at him. "You can leave if you don't want to help me with this. I'll find someone else." Con shook his head and cleared his throat. He would go through with this, and when he was done, he would get as far away from here as he could. Back to Glover city and back to his old life. Heather found herself frowning at how desperate she was coming off. She could hear the way her voice cracked as she spoke. She was Heather Bloom for crying out loud. Her parents had the largest building in the whole of Orion city and her brothers were known CEOs. She would have wanted to make her family proud by getting married to the man they had chosen for her, but she couldn't because she didn't want to. Lance seemed satisfied with the deal
