Blackwood Resort 소설 & 이야기

Fiona and I had dinner together and spent some time with the baby, before I returned to my study to meet with Kayden in the late evening. I had to get some wheels turning tonight, working this new lead that we uncovered today with the help of our friend “Zigzag.” I pulled up a map of Blackout Casino on my computer. It was a huge, sprawling property comprised of six different high-rise structures and multiple outdoor attractions, including a concert amphitheater, a golf course and several different swimming pools.

She mumbled with a pout. “There’s a resort about an hour's drive from here.” The dark forest was not all trees and bushes. It had packs, malls, lodges and schools for supernaturals. Right now we were passing through no man’s land but there was a reserve for animals some kilometers away. There was also a resort for those who wanted to rest or camp and have a tour to check out the different animals in the reserve. “Ok… we can rest. My bum is paining from sitting for too long.” Ariana pouted again and I chuckled. She was such a baby.

He took Shaw Woods Road, winding his way through a deep and heavily forested area named after one of the original village’s stalwart founding fathers. Blackwater Valley was actually part of the Rock River Valley, the so-christened Rock having dug its own mighty course directly through this prairie region, twisting and flowing southwesterly for 150-some miles before emptying into the fabled Mississippi River. The small town lay nestled within a slight lowland depression—as if hiding here in the middle of the heartland amongst the rolling hills and fields of corn—which often kept it slightly cooler, in both winter and in summer, than any of its outlying environs. Farther south were farming ham

“It’s only for a week. Don’t worry. I need him to protect Belle. You know that I trust only the two of you with my life… and now with hers.” Pete’s teasing demeanor vanished, replaced by genuine understanding. “We know, Ethan.” Pete gathered the signed documents from the desk while Ethan continued working. “Once this contract signing is over, I want to take Belle on a vacation,” Ethan said. “How long can I realistically stay away from the company?” Pete thought for a moment. “More or less… about a week.” A small smile touched Ethan’s lips. “That’s enough. We could return to that island we visited before. It’s secluded, highly secure, and completely private.”

He crossed the room in two strides, his hands cradling my face, thumbs brushing away the tension in my jaw. “We need to disappear for a few hours,” he said softly. “There’s something you need to see.” The Blackwood Ruins By dawn, I stood before the crumbled gates of Blackwood, the abandoned fortress half-swallowed by vines and mist. “This place…” I breathed, shivering despite the cloak. Xavier placed a steadying hand on my lower back. “It was once a home to a warrior clan — fierce, loyal, bound by no court. We’ll make it that again.”

The resort did great in business for the first few summers, but it looks like it was planned to be taken down without even a wrecking ball. Just a golf cart ride away from my resort, a new one had opened and started stealing my guests. And who owned it? Valerian Blackwood. "Can you not shout about private conversations when we're not alone?" I told her as soon as we entered my office. "You're making a scene." "What about it? Three years ago, that bastard even held a press conference just to tell the whole world that his cock was back to being free to fuck whatever hole he wanted!"

“The Blackwood family doesn't do anything small. And that’s not even the best part. Apart from the cash prize, every single member of the winning team gets a fully paid, two-week luxury vacation package to a private resort in Bali. No work, no emails, just pure paradise.” A sudden, fierce spark lit up inside Irene’s chest. Fifty thousand dollars. That kind of money could secure her sons' tuition for years and give her the exact financial cushion she desperately needed to stop feeling so trapped by Daniel's constant legal threats. And a two-week vacation meant two whole weeks completely away from Daniel Blackwood, his cold arrogance, and his suffocating glass cage. “Wow...” Irene breathed, he

she responded meekly. I clicked my teeth tiredly, "So, why is he stressing you to give me and my son a place to stay when we can just squat in his estate in the meantime?" I asked but she paused for about a minute and turned her head away from me. She coughed lightly and replied. "Mr Blackwood has never brought any young woman to his estate. If he…uh…if he wanted to have some fun he usually invited the women to hotels," she stuttered, her cheeks getting flushed at the real thought of what 'fun' really meant.

Blackwood. Finally, the moment arrived. Zeke moved to the center stage. The lights dimmed, focusing a spotlight on him as he tapped the microphone. The room instantly fell silent and everyone’s eyes made their way to where he stood with a small smile on his face, eager to hear his speech. “Good evening, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for your extraordinary generosity tonight, the Blackwood family is forever in your debt.” He began, his voice amplified, filling every corner of the vast room.
