"I don't think that would be necessary. She is good at what she does." Erica said."She's just young that's all so don't fire her and besides she always cast with a premium gist." "As long as my wife permits it then I'm good." He said. Sullivan smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Well, my love, it seems like Maria has outdone herself this time," he said, his voice low and husky, gesturing to the spread of food before them.Erica nodded, her eyes shining with agreement. "Yes, everything looks delicious," she said, her voice soft, picking up a fork to take a bite of her eggs.Sullivan chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I'm glad you're enjoying it, my love. I think Maria's cooking is one of the highlights of our day," he said, his voice teasing, taking a bite of his toast.Erica laughed, her eyes laughing. "Well, I think you're enjoying it a bit too much, Sullivan," she said, her voice playful, nudging him with her elbow.Sullivan grinned, his eyes never leaving he

Erica followed his gaze and her eyes widened as she saw the dress he had chosen. "Sullivan, that's...wow," she breathed, her eyes shining with excitement.Sullivan smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I knew you'd like it," he said, his voice confident. "You're going to look stunning in it, my love."Erica's eyes sparkled with delight as Sullivan handed her the dress. She took it from him, her fingers tracing the intricate embroidery. "It's beautiful," she whispered, her voice full of wonder."See I told you I have good taste in clothes, "he said. "I don't think I've ever doubted your skills," Erica said. After they got dressed they stepped outside the room and anyone who laid eyes on them could testify that they were giving the power couple vibe. Sullivan was dressed in a nice tuxedo and had his hair slick backward. John smiled with satisfaction when he saw the General and his wife walking towards him. He was still mad about the way the General spoke to him that day h

Chapter 93Sullivan's eyes blazed with anger when he saw that the person in front of him was Evelyn Kai. Some he once trusted, he almost considered her a friend but now they were worse than enemies.He got up instantly and turned to John for an explanation. "What is she doing here?" Erica asked in shock. All eyes were on Evelyn. Her face was bruised and she was banged up very badly. It was obvious she had been coming from a huge fight. John dragged her hair harshly forcing her to look at the general. Her eyes were filled with tears as she locked eyes with Sullivan. She was ashamed of herself. If she had other options she wouldn't have walked into this den. She wronged him. She betrayed his trust but now she only hopes that he could offer her some help. "Speak!" John clenched his jaws hard. He had always hated Evelyn and if it were up to him, he would have killed her the moment she found her lurking around. He had asked what her purpose was but she opined that the only p

"I was beginning to think that you were not going to wake up."In that instant, Evelyn's eyes snapped. She quickly sat up on the bed, trying to process her surroundings. "Where am I?" She muttered. She quickly clenched the blanket, turning her head sideways. "Welcome back to the land of the living," John said nonchalantly. Evelyn swallowed hard as she stared at John. "Can't you speak or cat's got your tongue." He asked, raising his brow. He strode over to where she was and lifted her face that was buried in shame with his fingertips."If you want to leave you better start talking." He warned."I wish to speak with the, General." She said firmly.Even though she was trying to be bold, John could detect a hint of fear in her eyes."You think the General would want to speak to you after what you did.""You see now that I think about it, I'm sure you were the one that set the General up when he went to Lowell Tower.""You told Jason about our plans didn't you?" John frowned.He not

John opens the door to Evelyn's room. His cheeks were still flustered as he gazed upon Evelyn who was enjoying the warmth of the sun through the window.She looked so calm and peaceful.Most important she looked so beautiful.She had this lingering sense of purity emitting within her.He didn't think he had ever seen this side of her.The Evelyn he knew was almost acting cocky.She had a somewhat intimidating confidence and it made her unapproachable to most men.Now didn't have her regular intimidating aura, she was simply just like every other woman."What did he say?" Evelyn asked.John quickly snapped from his thoughts and composure.He didn't have been staring at her for minutes."The general is ready to receive you." He said.Evelyn's eyes lit up with joy.She was about to move towards the door when John held her hand quickly."You don't possibly think you want to leave in that." He gestured towards her bathrobe.Evelyn quickly clenched her robes when it came to her realization
