Your arrival at the port will be greeted by a large casino building. Annika had assumed that this was how a casino would appear, but she subsequently learned that other crews believed it to be a supermarket. At night, while Annika was worki

Three months later... Today was going to suck. And not the good kind. Nope. The big, sweaty, hairy donkey balls variety.

Biting back a sigh, Nakos Hunt glanced from the two men standing beside him to the wide open expanse of Cattenach Ranch. Two-thousand acres of rolling grasslands and high plains.

BINTA I lived on a remote island on the coast of Lafiya called Rayuwa. Lafiya is a country made up of four states. Fili State, Ruwa State, Gona State and Daji state. Rayuwa is part of Daji State, and the capital of Daji is Duniya. The proximity of Rayuwa to Duniya is near. Lafiya is a developed country, but although Rayuwa is a part of Lafiya, it lacks civilisation, and because of this, it serves as a tourist attraction for Lafiya, generating millions in revenue.

ODETTE After a close to eighteen-hour flight with two stops in between—one of which Gunnar had made, we landed in South Africa, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. We were hauled up in a hotel room near the beach. The city we were staying in—from the little I had seen—was beautiful. Durban seemed to be filled with people of different races and ethnicity.

He was gone. Fuck.

Chapter 21 Gael finally pulled up to this cute little cottage nestled in the middle of a smaller body of water. It wasn’t the lake, but it was enough water where there was a little boat that took you to the cottage. This was a smaller inlet, and it was breathtaking. While Phoenix put her shoes back on. Gael got out and sniffed the area and mindlinked his father, updating him on the attack and telling them their location. His father told him they would take care of the rogues and get to the bottom of the issue. His mother came onto the mindlink telling him she’d stocked the cottage and brought some things for Phoenix to wear while there.

She then bends down to retrieve her pile of books from the ground and stands up. "My name is Charlotte" I tell her and extend my hand forward as a kind gesture. She looks at me from top to bottom. I know that my gesture has taken her by surprise and she continues to look nervous. I look at her and to my surprise, she takes my hand and shakes it with a sweet smile.
