Chapter 64
"One hundred thousand dollars!?" Kendra shrieked her eyes close to popping out of her skull as she read through the papers in front of her. A signing bonus of one hundred thousand dollars had been added to her contract. "Oh my god! Ms. Constantine I didn't expect you to be so generous! I don't know how to even begin thanking you!"
"Haha... I guess I am... So generous I even tend to catch myself by surprise." Evelyn grumbled rubbing her temples and giving Collen the look of death. While he stood in the corner completely failing to whistle.
'With how often I'm forced to feign being oblivious I should really learn to whistle.' Collen thought to himself. 'I wonder if she's angry.' He did a quick side long glance towards Evelyn, their eyes meeting for a brief moment. His own eyes trying to convey how sorry he was. Her eyes were trying to convey how much suffering she was going to bring down upon him.
Collen may or may not have had the people writing up th

"Jefferson? Why would I ever marry Jefferson!?" Sure she had previously been allowed to visit the Thomas home, but she didn't have any feelings towards him. 'And my life is finally beginning!' She thought to herself. Years of pent up anger was beginning to surface in the back of her mind. 'The only reason he would suggest this or pretend to care all stems from he's after something.' Hell even if Kendra had some dormant feelings, and had previously been tempted to marry Jefferson, hearing it was something her uncle wished for would have been the kicker ensuring she wouldn't marry him."And what do you stand to gain from it?" Kendra demanded."What do I-? Just.. " Nelson was completely stunned by the turn of events. In a matter of days Kendra's personality had changed from the obedient beaten dog to one of a feisty rebelling teenager in Nelson's mind. "Who do you think you are to question me!?""And who do you think you are to command her?" Colle

"Please I'm telling you there's something seriously off about that man! Don't make any hasty decisions!" Nelson pleaded to Winifred and Benjamin. Both of whom were sitting across from Nelson looking both thoroughly amused and skeptical."Oh please, your prattling is boring me." Winifred sighed exasperated. Nelson came barging in on their lunch insisting he had something urgent to discuss with them, only to hear his wild accusations about some desk jockey working at The Garden.Winifred dropped a folder down on the table and indicated to it for Nelson. "You're worrying over some dream you had regarding some Orphan Irishman. There's nothing significant about him. Nelson reached for the folder flipping through the contents before dropping it back down on the table. "Ma'am you're highly regarded by every circle in the know. So how is it you don't find it strange that for close to ten years he disappeared like he didn't fucking exist! Then suddenly he's working as at

Kendra froze and eyed the woman skeptically, The woman had never been cruel to Kendra during her visits, but she was never so kind either. "Mrs. Thomas hello. It's a surprise to see you here.""Ah yes. Nelson came to visit us, and informed us you're no longer staying in his home. Such a shame, Jefferson was wanting to visit you... Perhaps since you're no longer staying with your uncle you could come visit us."Collen snorted hearing the such a shame part. 'No matter how you try spinning it lady, Kendra's better off without her Uncle and most likely without your son all the same.' He thought to himself giving her a superficial smile, which she of course returned in kind. The only difference was her fake smile almost felt genuine... Collen's was more along the lines of a sneer. 'Ah fuck it, my body knew the proper reaction to give.' He thought, giving himself a mental pat on the back."And who might this... Charming.. Young man be? My name is Winifred Thomas Kendr

Kendra and Collen were completely engrossed in their kiss. Kendra was past turned on. She had been wanting Collen almost since she first met him. As the pair were kissing Collen and Kendra both began working to remove her shorts. There was a sense of desperation between the pair as their carnal instincts completely took over, while they almost ripped each other's clothes off. Once her shorts were removed Kendra reached for her phone."You're really sure you want to go through with this?""Are you kidding me? At this moment the one thing I'm sure of is how badly I want it, and this will get those assholes off my back too!" Kendra's eyes were wide with excitement. She grabbed for her phone hitting the record button. "Hello Thomas family~! This is Jefferson's fiancé here! Wha- Oooh wow! Holy shit!" She cried out as Collen moved his head down between her legs. "Oh shit! This is going to be a good night!"The next mornin

"Yes Ma'am We're on our way to the clinic Terrance got hurt and we were forced to leave." The leader of the team that had attacked Collen's voice came over the speaker of the phone. Winifred and Benjamin were sitting in the their den receiving the report from her men. She had ordered them to make Collen suffer, she didn't go into specifics how, but the outcome for those who upset her enough to warrant such a response was generally a good one. She had yet to disappointed by her men."Hurt? What do you mean hurt?""He gouged out his eyes and shot him in the knee.""He did what!?" There are two different types of people fight or flight. Some people get thrust into a situation and they're overcome with fear looking for quickest way to escape. Even if someone were to tackle them to the ground, if they fight back usually it's just enough to get away. Then you have the fighters. The ones who will scratch, bite, kick, punch, hell probably insult your mother the en

A few weeks had passed since the first attacks had begun. Benjamin, Winifred, and Jefferson all remained holed up inside their home. And they felt as if they were even further from discovering the cause of all these attacks, and who it was behind them. They were being crippled by the perpetrators. Within the first few days of the beginning attacks, their personal security forces were decimated. They never seem to have a fighting chance. And any other security companies they hired or had a close working relationship with were all attacked on the moment they would depart for the Thomas's home. Soon every company would seem eager to accept a contract from them until they heard it was the Thomas family calling. The men on the other end of the line would immediately hang up on them. Some would even laugh at them even when offered double their usual rates plus all expenses to be paid.It felt as if the world had suddenly turned it's back on the Thomas family. But that was just the

Winifred couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Out of every possibility, out every person on this planet. She never would have guessed everything stemmed back to Collen. She didn't understand how either, her background checks were beyond thorough. If there's a mole on the person's ass it was usually listed in the file."Erm. I don't mean to bother you, but have we met before perhaps?""Ah I doubt it. Though I guess you could say I'm something of a celebrity in Ireland. My name is Michael McDermott. Collen's Uncle.""A celebrity? Like an actor?""No not quite an actor." Michael chuckled to himself.Ogden ran through a list in her mind. 'I know I've heard that name somewhere before.' He had a few contacts in Ireland, and had even done some business there a few times both legal and illegal."Well shall we?" Collen suggested."Ah yes, pardon my manners please follow us.""Grand father why are you even listening to this ba

Alison and Daphne, even Bernard all looked to Evelyn after hearing Kendra's bold declaration."What's everyone looking at me for? She can love whoever she wants to. Just know I'm still number one." Evelyn giggled at everyone's expressions. They were half torn on how to react until now. Of course no one else knew this, but Kendra had actually felt some inner turmoil herself when it came to her feelings for Collen. One day she felt from the depths of her heart she owed Evelyn an apology, both for sleeping with Collen... A few times... The first night alone.. And she wished to apologize for these feelings she felt regardless of the fact there's no fighting your hear, Evelyn was a friend to her. But to Kendra's surprise it didn't bother Evelyn in the least. Her words were. ' If you think you can take his heart, feel free to try.' While some people may possibly see the words as an insult or a provocation, it was merely Evelyn having love and faith in Collen.
