"On the 20th day, in the sixth month of the year 2897, Orion city experienced one of the most massive earthquakes to ever rock its foundations."***********************************Adeline mixed her tea in a cup and handed it over to the man beside her.A tear could be seen rolling down her cheek but she ignored it and kept on looking at the TV instead.The day the earthquake had hit had been just like any other. She had been in her office, considering yet again, if what she had done had been for the best or if she had just been fooling herself and giving up something she should have held close to her heart.She knew she shouldn't have used Con in that way. He was an asset to her and a caring man, one that she would have been happy to have in her life if she hadn't ruined all her chances with him.She would have been glad, elated even, but that was in the past. When she still had money and when he was someone she paid at the end of each month.Now she manned a cafe in a backwater par
Xavier could feel blood running down the side of his head.He didn't care.He had to get the ladies out of here.The house was crumbling around them and the reverberations were spreading out into the whole city.It would have been a surprise to him if it didn't, but it did and soon............ even he didn't know what would become of Orion city.Just breathing in this room had become a massive problem and they couldn't just step anywhere.The world was changing around them, and along with it, the very fabric of what they termed their existence.Xavier heard someone grunt beside him and he turned to see one of the ladies lagging behind.Con would have carried all of them in some act of bravado and gotten them out of the house the very minute it began to crumble, but he wasn't Constantine Easton. The other man had the resilience of a bull and the stamina of a dragon. Someone like him would crash before he even got to the front door.Xavier watched with wide eyes as the space behind th
In a small house west of the city, a man was busy receiving slaps from his in-laws. His wife stood with the arm of another man around her waist while the man had one of his hands on ass, touching and squeezing as he caressed it lightly. A devious glint came alive in the lady's eyes and she raised her hand up slightly. Derek Aer felt the slaps and punches being rained down on him come to a halt and he looked up to see an amused look on his wife's face. He could see his reflection in her clear purple eyes and what he saw shattered his heart. For a man, he was very shameless when it came to taking care of his face. That same face he had always taken care of so specially now had a number of bruises on it. He had been given a black eye and one of his lips had burst. It looked swollen now and worst of all was his cheeks. They looked as red as tomatoes. His wife had hired thugs to slap him on her behalf and so far, he had been receiving slaps for the past half an hour. That was a go
The ladies that were sent to his room this time were above the age of eighteen, but he still couldn't do what he had been ordered to do.The feeling of all those women touching him and trying to get a literal rise out of him, it irritated him and disgusted him. His wife was making him feel like an object despite all the disgrace he was already facing at her hands.He had refused the women that came into the room and he had sent them out.But now he had also been sent out and detained in a police station no less.Derek paced around the four corners of the cell and ran his hands through his hair. His life was trash and his head was hurting again.Janette's father had been the one to save him from the horrors of the streets. For a man who lost all his memories and in such a time as it had been ten years ago, the streets were literally the most dangerous place such a person could be in.With the crash of Orion city and the resulting shockwave that spread into some cities and destroyed p
Derek could feel his head spinning but he still managed to keep himself upright.For someone who had a lot of stamina, he was feeling light headed at the sight of a silver haired man and that wasn't sitting well with him.The man now stood in front of two policemen, flashing them charming smiles and leaving them unable to speak after some time. Silver hair and silver eyes seemed way more effective in making people treat you better than normal dark hair and dark eyes did.These same police officers had taken one look at him and sneered like he was some kind of scum or wanted criminal. They said something about his hair and eyes looked dangerous and that his wife should have known he would be a potential rapist.That was what Janette had told them though. That he stumbled into her room drunk and tried to rape a few of her friends.She was in tears when she relayed that information to them and the look they gave him had almost made him feel like he had really committed the crime.The fe
Xavier swallowed the annoyance at the back of his throat and looked at the lady in front of him.The policewoman turned out to be much nicer than her male counterparts .She went by the name Sophia Lee and she had light pink hair, a rarity, much more than his silver hair.The only feature he probably trumped her with was his eyes and the fact that he was angry now."I'm not asking for too much Mr Frost. I guess you can understand my curiosity."Xavier nodded incredulously.Oh he understood her curiosity all right.He could also understand that she didn't really feel like letting the man in her custody go. According to her, he had been charged with rape.A very grievous offense and one that would require him being prosecuted and taken to court.He would have agreed to that but the sergeant was a smart woman. She had already thought of him interfering and so she had come up with another proposition.In essence, "Strip for me and I'll let you walk out of here with that man."That was exa
Jake Caswell stared at the lady in front of him and he laughed. To think that the beautiful and super successful Adeline Highton was now reduced to this just made him feel like laughing even more.He had asked her to sell Nurain to him back then hadn't he?He would have even taken her in as a girlfriend, at least for the meantime, but no. She had played the victim and she had refused his request.A lady could never be trusted to manage anything important, especially not something like a multi million dollar company.The company she had spent four years building up was now nothing but rubble. All of her assets were gone and everything she had worked for was now at the bottom of a buttload of trash. Even all the money she had saved up so she could fall back on in times of trouble, everything was gone now.At the bottom of the sea.Jake laughed and gripped the arm of his seat to prevent himself from falling off. It was just too funny, so so funny.The lady he was thinking of was stan
Con slept in the car on the way to the manor and Xavier found himself staring at his former boss closely.They were still in the car and still on the way to his mansion, or manor as his daughter would like to call it, but this would probably be the only time he would get to inspect his boss closely.It had been more than twelve years since they had both left the military and their mercenary crew had been disbanded. The incident in the grasslands had been one that dealt the credibility of their crew a huge blow.Mark had been the reason for that.Mark had always been the love sick one, the one who wanted a model family and who wanted to leave the life they led behind. Mark didn't like acting crazy and killing people even if they were the enemy and they would gladly kill you if you didn't kill them first.Mark was different from all of them in a way.He had great foresight and he was an excellent marksman. He was also a selfless brother who could do anything for his sister and he had.
