My mood instantly shifted as I read through each email thoroughly that Eirran had sent in code messages to Davian Sinclair. He probably thought he was outsmarting me by doing this, but I knew better. I was wondering how in the hell my wife knew how to encrypt a computer. But I found out more about this hidden talent of hers at a later time. There were more pressing matters plaguing my mind at the moment.

Although Davian and I had been cordial towards each other over the years. I never had any animosity towards him. He stayed clear away from me and my empire and I did not try to stir in the directions of the cold, windy mountains of his drug dynasty in the city of Evergreen. He was neither an enemy nor an ally. But now I might have to renege of not bothering Davian altogether.

I was not going to give him a choice anymore of being neutral, he needed to pick a side, and if he chose to not help aid me in taking down members of the Alvarado family, I would see to it that this his entire drug dynasty he garnered millions from would all burn to ashes. Verena then slaps the side of my face, causing me to zone out of the thoughts that have raced through my mind just now.

"I was wondering when you going to snap out of it. I didn't mean to hit you, but I had to do something", I place my hand on the side of my left cheek, and my eyes twinkle with mischief as stare down at my rather turbulent wife.

"Don't apologize for something you intentionally meant to do it". Verena opens her mouth to retort back with me, but then she suddenly closes it before she closes her eyes, her chest rises up and down, as she breathes in and out. She then opens her eyes to look at me, "I am trying to refrain from strangling you. Once again, you kept me in the dark about your secrets from the past. When the hell were you going to tell me that Ryen Laurent, or should say Sinclair, is a part of the mafia world".

To be quite frank Ryen, was the least bit of my concerns. After our Parisian excursion years ago, I made sure over the years to keep Verena far away from Ryen, I did not need her trying to release the skeletons I have yet to share with my wife too. Ryen had a habit of putting herself in sticky situations, similar to the one where I had to murder her late husband Caius. "I don't think you and Ryen would mesh well together, she is every bit of a high-class whore who jumps from one wealthy dick to another".

Verena gasped at my blunt response about Ryen as her cheeks looked flushed. "I guess if you say like that, maybe it was best if I didn't get close to Ryen, but it would have been nice if you had told me this years ago. Hell, that something was off with the bitch when she invited me out for a shopping spree".

Verena's eyes then widen in realization, "Your sneaking ass", she punches me in the chest, "That Parisian trip had something to do with her husband at the time". I keep quiet, as I place my hand against Verena's forehead, checking her temperature. "I was wondering when you going to catch up to what I have been doing Cherie. My memory with certain things can get a bit vague".

Verena pushes my hand off of her forehead. "Your memory is not vague at all you just have a habit of lying, or maybe we both do".

I want to ask more what Verena is talking about but she continues, "So what do you suggest we do now". A wicked grin spreads across my face, like a Cheshire cat who found a warm bowl of milk.

"I do not like that look, please tell me you are not thinking about doing some crazy shit. You've done more than enough for today". Verena then stretches her arms behind her hand and fakes like she is yawning.

"I think we should head out and go back to the beach house. It's late and we need to rest and get some sleep". Verena then tries to walk around me, before I pull her hand, "Oh no no Verena, you be nagging the shit out of me about wanting to be a part of my affairs. So you are not going anywhere. We are about to go handle something right quick".

Verena rolls her eyes and then pouts her lips, looking like a spoiled child. I then lean down and press my forehead against her, "You better remove that pout off of your face, before I shove my dick down your mouth".

Verena immediately stops pouting and has a stoic, yet determined look in his eyes that are filled with fire. I smile looking down at my queen. "Yes, that's the spirited woman I fell in love with".

I then smack her ass hard, causing her to gasp, "Now let's go!!!", I say before tugging her hand and leading her out the door as we swiftly march down the hallway and out of the arsenal base. Arlo and Tirian were outside leaning against the side of the building as we approached, the motorcycle was meters away.

I then look down at Verena, "Go start up the bike Cherie, I'll be there in a minute". Verena looks between me, Tirian, and Arlo before she does not argue back with me and makes her way to the motorcycle. Just as she hops on the bike and places the key inside of the ignition, it purrs to life. Just as the purring sound of the motorcycle makes a loud noise, turn my attention to Arlo and Tirian.

"I need you to fly out to Evergreen, I need to settle some affairs with Davian Sinclair".

Arlo nods, "Alright, do we need to bring packages".

Packages were code-word for weapons, we brought packages everywhere we flew in stateside as well as internationally. "Just a few, if we need backup, I just will call Arseio". I was going to keep Arsenio on standby, just in case things went left.

Just as I finish the conversation, I walk over to Verena. Verena frowns when she takes notice that I have not gotten on the back of the bike yet. "What the hell are you waiting for get on the back of the bike", her voice raises a bit as she gets irritated with me not following her demands. "I want to take charge this time. I want to drive".

Verena doesn't bother to move but keeps her hands pressed firmly against the handlebar. "Make me", she says in a rather sexy, yet defensive tone. I then stand in front of the bike, and place my lips against Verena's neck, before my tongue slides out skating down her skin, I whisper against her neck, and her hands slide from the handlebars to gripping my back.

"Are you going to be a good girl and behave". I part her lips open with my mouth as we French kiss for several minutes, I then pull my lips away as Verena tries to slide her hands down the front of my pants.

"You won't get any dick until you learn how to stop playing with me". Verena looks irritated with my response, but I place my hand against her cheek. "Let me ride the bike, Verena. I won't ask again". Verena then pushes herself completely off the bike.

"Good girl", I say before hopping on, I place my hands on the handlebars as Verena climbs on the bike of the bike, she wraps her hands around my waist. Once I feel that Verena is secure in her hold against my body, I speed off the base. We ride swiftly down the sandy road for several minutes make a sudden right turn, going in the opposite direction of the bungalow.

The sandy road stops and a cement one begins, as we ride passed the now-closed storefronts and restaurants. We travel further up the road that leads up to a gated community, where a set of modernized yet quaint apartments were built more than five years ago. Two security guards are standing outside of the gate.

One of them immediately frowns when I stop the bike in front of the gate. "Hey, you can't go in there, unless you have a gate card". I did not like the tone that the man was using with me. I look at him, as I feel my energy around growing rather dark with anger, yet I am determined to make a point with this man.

"I don't need access". "Eryx please just let it go". I can hear Verena telling me to get off the bike seconds later and stand in front of the man, who has his hand on his gun holster on the side of his pants as if at any moment he is ready to use if I provoke him. "Never Cherie", I wink at her trying to get a rise out of her. She looks concerned for me, but I then have a stern yet deadly look in my eyes as stare at the security officer. "Do you know who I am".

The security officers look me up and down in disgust. "Should I", he says sarcastically. A sinister grin covers my face before I place my hands around his neck and snap. Once hear his neckbone crack, I let go of my hands around the body as it drops to the ground.

I then glance over at the other security guard as he stares at me in fear. I know by his expression he knows exactly who I am. "Get someone to come pick up the body and if I were you I would ask if you didn't see anything. If not, you are as good dead".

The other security officer nods before he takes out his walkie talkie alerting several men from the base to come to the apartment community. I then walk back over and see Verena looking at me with annoyance covering her face. "Was that even necessary to do. I get the guy disrespecting you, but did you have to kill him".

I smirk at her reaction, "Did you have the kill the informant the way you did". Verena squints her eyes at me, "That's no fair', she whines. "I had a reason to kill that man".

I then climb back on the gate as the security officer opens the gate for us. "I had a reason for killing as well. I guess we are more alike than you think".



Has anyone been able to keep count of how many people Eryx has unlived at this point, I've lost count. I told you guys Eryx is a psychopath, he does not like for anyone to cross him. Can anyone guess who Verena and Eryx are going to go see at the apartment complex on Eryx's island?
