friend Florence has been on television. She has a new show called the matchmaker. Have you watched it?”
“No, I haven’t. What’s it all about?”
“Well, it’s simple. She hooks people up and then films the dates and announces the outcome of the world. I saw the episode bro. You and your hot IT girl had been followed, and she concluded that she was a gold digger. And that is why I asked you if you want me to sue her ass. We have enough material to run that poor excuse for a show aground. All you need to do is…”
Denis hung up the phone and took his coat from the table where he left it the previous night. He now understood why his girl was having such a difficult time and knew that it was about time he made things straight. The chopper was still in the helipad, and since he had been a military pilot, he made sure that he was able to put that helicopter in the sky in a matter of minutes and was off to Brooklyn.
Denis knew that Florence had to pay for toying with him the way she did. But that wasn’t his priority. His number one priority was to make sure that he had seen Damaris and explained everything to her. Denis just hopped that it wasn’t too darn late because, at that juncture, he couldn’t picture his life without her.
And within minutes, the chopper was off the ground headed to Brooklyn.
***
As soon as Denis got out of the chopper, he stood for a moment, waiting for the revolving propellers to die down before coming out. And as he sat there, he just couldn’t remember the last time that he was that nervous. He had no idea what he was going to say to the woman that he loved to ensure that she wasn’t going to leave him no matter what came their way. She was the only woman who made his life to have to mean.
Finally, the propellers died down for a moment, and it was at that moment that the most unexpected thing happened. The door was swung open, and she came out running out all the way to the chopper. Tears were running down her cheeks, and as soon as the helicopter’s doors were opened, Damaris got in and hugged him.
“I already know what she did, and I am very sorry I left.”
Denis was confused. But before he could say anything, his kick ass lawyer, Tony came through the door eating some pie that Damaris had most definitely made him. He had gotten to the bottom of everything and found out that Florence was using them and made a point of reaching out to her because he knew that Denis was going to have a difficult time doing just that.
“Yes, I know. You can thank me later. But at the moment, I need to fly to New York and submit the subpoena to one Miss Florence Whitmore. And I think the fasted way for me to get there would be via chopper. And I am looking around at the moment, and I am wondering if I can find someone with a helicopter.”
“Oh, crap just take the damn thing. But make sure you return it with a full tank or else I will stop cutting you checks.”
And as Tony the lawyer took to the chopper like a kid who had been finally allowed back into the world after a solid week of grounding, Denis and Damaris continued kissing. Well, he had been a bad boy once, but as the dictum says, even bad boys need some loving. Well, it's not a dictum. But what the heck!!
THE END
MILITARY BILLIONAIRE: THE MERCHANT OF DEAD
-The tribal war, 1564 AD-
“We need more ammunition!!” the commander yelled as soon as he had instructed his people to fall back. From the look of things, it seemed as though everything was going haywire and the commander had two options – tell his troops to fall back and retreat into the bushes or stand the ground and fight to the death.
And judging from what the king had instructed the commander, England wasn’t going to cow down to her enemies. And that only left him with one options only – to fight tot eh death. He hated having to lose people, but from the look of things, their enemies
