The Billionaire Darkness

Chapter Eighty-Four

Today was the day we'd all be going to Waccabuc for spring break. I was beyond tired and really didn't feel like going anywhere, but my lake house was big enough to hide in.

I had been doing more late night checks and data collection on the actions of both the gang and illegal activities in Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, along with a more personal collection of information about the abuse facing the Intrigued, who I had been fighting the duality of wanting to know her name so that I could personally comfort her, but not given the issues that would start. If she didn't know she could never become more curious about me, and there wouldn't be a bridged connection for her to know my name, or me to step over the line of curtesy. I'd agreed to help her—wordlessly, but still she wasn't ever supposed to know it was me who had been helping her from a distance to get free from Demetri.

Pulling on jeans and a hoodie I walked downstairs to my entryway where I had prepped myself coffee for my trip along with a shake which I'd just wash and return to my vehicle though I was slightly struggling to pick which vehicle I was hoping to take to Waccabuc.

Brabus is always fitting.

Listening to my brain I took out the key to my favourite SUV, and also the most aggressive looking vehicle I owned.

I would be lying if I didn't think it was the vehicle that fitted me as a person the most but I also had such luxurious taste that certain vehicles were my favourites and it gave the media something to talk about for a little only to have it ruined, though I'd love to drive the same vehicle for a month or so just to annoy photographers because all the pictures would look the same.

Pulling on a thin trench coat that the colour pattern reminded me a bit like stone, I walked out of my house using my phone to lock the door and get down to the garage which I opened and walked over to the massive black vehicle that I loved so much.

I need like a truck or some shit to seem less conspicuous.

Not like I didn't own them, I had two in Wyoming at my ranch but that was because I also owned horses and I had to have some way of transporting them when I bought them. There was also the fact that I might like cars more but trucks still were fun, by all accounts this modified G-Wagon was a truck but visibly most people wouldn't call it that.

Opening the door, I let the running board come down before climbing up into the vehicle which was stupidly tall by comparison to my six-two frame, the damn thing was like eight and a half feet tall. Kate would come to the hood and the only reason I know that is because Mia had stood in front of it and is a little bit shorter then my sister.

Starting the vehicle which shook slightly though the suspension stopped it from wobbling very quickly since it had adaptive suspension which was an option that I asked for and paid for.

Why I paid so much money for all my cars I didn't know, it was fun though, and I could never say I didn't get what I wanted.

Driving out of the garage, I sped off towards the Harrington Mansion and very quickly pulled into the driveway parking behind the Panamera Nico had driven today before slipping out of the vehicle and walked to the front door to knock.

Not even a minute later the door opened and Mia stood looking half asleep still and partially wrapped in a blanket while carrying her bag, same as Nico who looked to have been awake but likely had to help Mia get up and ready for the day.

"Morning Adrian," she says walking towards my vehicle and stopping.

"How the hell am I supposed to get in Adrian, I'm five-five," Mia says and I turn to see that it was just about at her waist for ground clearance.
