Tony Jay Audiobook Novels & Stories

Tony finally says, his voice low and measured. “I can explain… It’s not what it looks like.” As Tony begins to explain, I listen intently, trying to discern the truth from his words. My emotions are a tumultuous mix of doubt, fear, and a lingering hope that Tony can provide a reasonable explanation. As he nearly bursts into tears while narrating everything in detail, it reminds me of my own past struggles.

Decker said. Tony’s jaw set. “He’s alive.” “That wasn’t the question.” Tony didn’t flinch. “He’s contained. Dungeon level. Heavy guard.” “And?” “He’s not quiet.” Of course he wasn’t. “He’s already started talking,” Tony continued. “Claiming you’ve been compromised. That you’re being influenced by Edgewater Falls.” Lotty’s stomach tightened. Decker’s expression went colder. “Let him talk.” Tony shook his head. “That’s the problem. Some of the council are listening.” A beat. Then, “We need to decide what to do with him,” Tony said.

Jack Tony got back to the car and then slid into the driver’s seat, looking relieved but exhausted. “You good?” I asked, even though my head wasn’t entirely in the moment. “Yeah, finally,” he muttered. “Stomach’s been acting up since we started the meeting. I just couldn’t leave in the middle of all that tension. I had to wait it out.” He let out while I nodded, barely processing his words. My thoughts were still back on that phone call. Daisy’s quiet and apologetic voice kept replaying in my mind and distracting me in the worst way possible.

He begged for him earlier. Begged. Samuel Bloodcrest, who would never bow even if poisoned, actually lowered himself because of a human boy who didn’t even know what he was worth. And now? Jayden slapped him and walked away like he was disciplining a misbehaving puppy. “This is becoming… entertaining,” I said. A soft rustle came from behind me. My assistant, Tony, hovered nervously with a tablet clutched to his chest. He always stood like that, like the wrong breeze might push him straight into an early grave.

"But you did show them." "Them? Aren't you apart of them?" "I apologize." He approached me with his hand held out. I stiffened but didn't step back. "My name is Tony. Tony Yates, Vampire, Council member, and ex-hood rat." I put my hand in his and he bowed over it. "At your service," he said. I swallowed dryly but at least some of my nervousness had left. "I'd introduce myself, but you already know my name." I marveled that his hand was nothing like touching William's had been. Tony's hand was warm.

I could have supported her if I had known she still had plans to pursue her dreams. I could only keep mute with a cold expression on. “Master, we might still be able to catch up with Miss Audrey at the airport,” Tony said but that only annoys my ear more. “No, let her go. She made her choice and we should do our best to respect people's choice, okay.” I said, forcing those words out of my mouth, even though they were so heavy for me to say. “But master, what about madam? Her life and health depend on you.” Tony, my right-hand man and personal assistant, reminds me solemnly.
