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
Jane smoothened the folds of her dress and looked across the room to locate the man she was to wed.She was nervous as fuck, but she had backup so she was a bit relaxed too.Aubrey had insisted on accompanying her and getting to see her suitor.For some reason, the slightly older lady seemed to be very wary and negative when it came to the matter of arranged marriages.Jane chuckled silently.Aubrey had proposed that they run away and fly out of the country, but she had refused.Her uncle had done a lot for her and he had respected her wishes not regarding some of her suitors. The first suitor he had brought was some rotten middle eastern scum who gave her orders on sight and said he would treat her the way he wanted once they were married.She had punched his teeth out and he had screamed so loud that it brought a smile to her face just thinking of it.The second suitor had been someone on her enemy list. He was a piece of trash who went by the name of Clark Gable. He was the one wh
Con could feel the back of his throat closing up but he still stood in the same spot he was.He had known that this day would come one way or the other.His family was a loose end that he would need to tie if he had any hopes of getting rid of them, and to do that he would have to see them.One of them at least.The spotlight was still on him, the dirty ragged street urchin in the midst of remarkably dressed people. Everyone was looking at him, and the ladies around him.Con felt himself feeling more confident with the reality of the fact that he had some people around him. Even if they were exceedingly pretty women, they were still people and so far, none of them had moved away."Tell me you haven't gotten yourself into more trouble, Mr Easton?"Con chuckled subtly and let a small smile bloom on his face ."Nice to see you too, Lana."All three women seemed to have their attention on him and on the people around them at the same time.They looked around and Con found himself doing t
