“Get the fuck out of my office!” Connor barked, reaching for his dropped pants. “Guards! Guards!”

The manager was furious because his sexual adventure with Isabella was rudely interrupted. He had been fantasizing about it for months.

However, before Connor could make a movement, Tyler’s right hand flashed in unexpectedly, landing a heavy slap across his face. The impact threw Connor across the room, and he landed on a glass table, shattering it into bits.

    As soon as Dorian Vex's words echoed through the throne room, Camilla panicked.She spun around, and elbowed Ivy's guard in the face. She grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her toward the doors."Run!" she shouted desperately. "Don't think and run!"Vex snapped his fingers. They made it three steps before the guards along the walls closed in from every side. Rough hands seized both sisters by the arms and dragged them back to the foot of the throne.Vex settled back onto his cushions and smiled at them."I've been patient enough," he said lazily. "Strip them. Every last thread."His men grinned eagerly at each other."Finally!" one of the guards cheered. "I've been waiting all night for this show!""Save the pop star for last," another leered. "I want a good look at the body that is on all those music billboards.""These two girls have weighed on my soul for years," Vex went on, talking more to himself than the audience."Every night, I lay awake wondering which of St. Brigid's brats

    Every eye in the throne room was fixed on Don Camilla.The old photograph of St. Brigid's Orphanage glowed on the huge screen behind the throne. Dorian Vex leaned forward eagerly, waiting for her answer.Camilla studied the crooked porch and the dirt yard with an indifferent expression, without blinking once."I've never seen it before," she replied flatly. "And I'm not here for a history documentary."She waved a hand at the screen dismissively. She could not let this man see how much that photograph hurt her, not while her sister's life hung on every word she said.Vex chuckled softly. His eyes slid past Camilla to the pop star.Ivy Solaris was staring at the screen in horrified recognition. Her lips were trembling, and fresh tears were spilling down her cheeks.She knew that porch. She had sat on those steps every evening with her sisters, waiting for supper. She knew that yard, and she knew that sign."Well, Miss Solaris?" Vex asked silkily. "Does it jog your memory?"Ivy tore her

    The inside of the Vex bunker was a maze of steel corridors under bare white lights.Four guards marched Don Camilla down the main passage with their rifles at her back. They were smug and giggling, exchanging mocking glances over her shoulders."Can you believe it?" one guard whispered gleefully. "Don Camilla, walking in here on her own two feet!""The boss is going to have fun with this one," another snickered. "She's been burning his warehouses for years. She's cost him a fortune.""And the other night she snatched a whole shipment of kids right out from under his nose."A third guard leered at her back."Don't forget the proposal. The boss offered to make her his wife, and she turned him down like he was dirt on her shoe.""So what do you think he'll do to her?"The first guard chuckled. "Whatever he wants. And when he's done with her, maybe he'll toss what's left to us. She's hotter than I imagined.""If there's anything left," the third guard sneered. "I've waited years to see th

  • 397 The Bunker

    The Vex bunker was known throughout the city as the most protected place in Sapphire City.It stood near the border, where the city ended and the desert began. Its walls of steel and concrete ran across two miles of sand. Watchtowers rose above them, and rifles glinted in every tower.Tyler, Camilla and Annika walked toward its main gate."I've gathered every member of my gang," Camilla declared grimly. "They're waiting out there in the dunes, ready to attack from all directions.""As soon as you give the word, they'll go in. My gang may not survive, but they'll definitely put a dent in Dorian's defenses.""That won't be necessary," Tyler replied. "I'm going to get Ivy by myself."Camilla shook her head.What Tyler was saying was impossible. One man could not walk into the Vex bunker and walk out with a hostage.But since he had returned, this man had done one impossible thing after another. She had stopped questioning what he could and could not do.She turned her eyes on Annika inst

    Before Tyler could reply to Vivian, Annika reached across and plucked the phone out of his hand."Hi, Vivian. This is Annika," she said coolly. "I need to borrow him for a few hours. He has done enough saving people for an entire year.""What do you mean by borrowing him—"She ended the call and dropped the phone back in his lap.Tyler stared at her in disbelief. "That was kind of rude.""I don't care," Annika replied without taking her eyes off the road. "You need to cultivate and become strong. This is not the time for flirting with heiresses."Tyler chuckled. "Aren't you an heiress yourself? Or, is flirting with you allowed? Not to forget the fact that I've kissed you."Annika pouted and said nothing.Tyler threw up his arms in exasperation. "Fine. How do I cultivate?"She sighed, relieved that he didn't explose the earlier sentiment further."There are mystical energy reservoirs all over the world," Annika explained. "They are called spiritual aquifers.""The one in Sapphire City

  • 395 Ancient Roots

    Tyler's eyes snapped open.He did not recognize where he was. Green light filtered down through an open canopy high above him, and the air smelled of wet earth and old bark.He tried to sit up, but he couldn't move.His eyes adjusted to the light, and he suddenly understood the reason.Tyler was lying at the foot of a gigantic tree. Its roots had grown out of the ground and over his body while he slept. They were wrapped around his legs and his chest, and they pinned his arms to the soil. It was as if the tree was trying to eat or smother him.Alarm shot through Tyler. He immediately drove his shoulder up into the roots.Crack!Every root across his body snapped and broke away in pieces as if slapped by a storm.Tyler got to his feet and looked around in confusion. He was standing on top of a hill. The majestic, ancient tree towered over him with its branches spread wide across the summit.The Denter royal estate lay far below, at the bottom of the hill. He could see the palace in the
