CENRIC“Are you fucking insane?” Beck bellowed. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I just told you he became distrustful and paranoid since you hired Devin. He thought you were one of the moles in his organization. And here you are planning on meeting that son of a bitch!”“He’d be more suspicious if I won’t meet him. And I know I can depend on you, and you’ll watch my six, right?”His nose flared as his face flushed in anger. “Since when I didn’t, asshole? You’re such a pain in my fucking ass.”“Then that sounds like a plan.”“Damn it, Cenric. I have already lost two of my brothers. Don’t fucking make it three. Is it really worth it?”I looked at him right into his dark eyes. “I’m not doing this for what happened to Doctor Yelena or for her. I need to end this. I’m doing this for our brothers and myself. And I know I can do something right so that they didn’t die in vain, and we are going to help save many lives. You know that.”“And you’ll die in the end, instead. That’s so fuckin

CENRIC   I woke up with a hammering headache and sore muscles, and I was in the clothes yesterday. The memories of last night were coming back in bits and pieces. I remembered getting drunk and cursing the shit out of Peters. I didn’t see that coming—too late to realize that I should have thought the company name well—too caught up in impressing my woman. “Fuck,” I swore under my breath as I got up from the couch, but my head was killing me. Then the door swung open. I didn’t have to look who just entered based on the smell and the feelings I got when Sadie was closer.  Shit. Our dinner plan. “This might help with your headache.” Her tone was harsh. Who wouldn’t when I literally bailed out our dinner. “Babe.” “Morning, drunkass.” She placed down the bottle of painkillers and a glass of water. “I’m sorry about last night.” I was still pressing my temple, and it didn’t help when I could feel her

CENRIC “Hi.” “Hello?” I’d been watching her since she walked into the launching of the game. She was wearing a blue back slit strapless mini dress hugging her hourglass figure. Since then, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She had this strong aura. Her blue eyes stood out aside from her gorgeous face. Her shapely legs and pert ass, my dick just twitched in my pants. And those tits alone. Damn.  “I think I know you from somewhere. Have we met before?” She rolled her eyes. “Really? What a shitty pickup line you got there, Wollf. You may be a billionaire, but you suck at it. I guess most women don’t even care, right? As long as you have deeper than the Challenger Deep pocket.” She sipped her bubbles, studying me from head to toe. I chuckled in amusement. “I guess I get used to women who are throwing themselves to me. I don’t need to use pickup lines anymore. It’s so unfortunate that my pickup lines don’t work with you.” Sh

CENRIC “What the fuck is going on?” “Just come home if someone could cover you.” Linden’s voice over the phone sounded urgent, and he wouldn’t call unless there was a life-and-death situation. So I had to make my trip short? “Yeah. Cas can do that. Why?” Cas looked at me as he heard his name. “What’s wrong?” “About to find out. I need to take the jet home. You okay to charter or fly commercial?” “I’m not the billionaire, of course.” He shrugged. “But the people who are excited to see you will be damn disappointed.” “Sorry, bro. You know what to do, and you’re charming than me.” “They still want to meet the hero turned billionaire, but sure. Just give me an update of whatever is going on back home.” “I will, and you too. Call me as soon as it’s over.” “Will do. Take care.” *** Beck already informed the pilot of the change of flight. “Lucky day. You’re going back home. Linden di

CENRIC   “I’m sorry. I was just protecting Zhuri. It’s not her fault.” “Babe, I know.” I squeezed her hand. I was pissed off but not for not telling me something was going on with her friend. And that her brother was already using Zhuri to get information from her. I understood why Zhuri had to give him what he’d asked. “I wish you just that tell me right away.” “I was also trying to figure out how to tell you and how to solve it without getting too complicated. What are you going to do?” “Don’t worry. No one is gonna touch Zhuri. Your brother might have leverage against her. I need to talk to her in person.” “Okay. We’ll do that. Don’t get mad.” When she looked at me like that, and she used that tone at me, how could I? I kissed her forehead. “We’re in this together. And I’m not mad at you. I’m pissed off at your brother, yes. And beyond. Why won’t he just leave us alone?” “We’re here,” Beck announced. “Le
