“Now that everyone is mobile, maybe my kind parents can give me and my… oh wait a second. George and Mary,” Tyler said, and his staff soon made their way to the group. “Mum and Dad, Mr & Mrs Carrington, this is my staff, Mr George and Mrs Mary Atherton,” Tyler said making the introductions. “It is a pleasure to meet you all,” George said as he shook the hand of both sets of parents, as did Mary. “With you all having plans for this morning, I have delayed having Hector and Anna come over

As I walked home from the school bus stop on Kalamunda road, with my hands grasped in my boyfriend’s hand, I was unaware that my life was soon to change forever. Unknown to me, my stepfather had driven past us while I was distracted with Kyle’s funny antics, and that he would be waiting for me when I arrived home. My home was a little unusual for me, with my mother a widow when I was just 6 years old, she fell in love and married a man who barely tolerated me, and only made an effort to be n

Stepping off the bus from school, and clasping my boyfriend Kyle’s hand, I was unaware that my life was soon to change dramatically, while being distracted by Kyle, I didn’t notice that my stepfather had just driven past. Within an hour, I would be packing my bags in preparation for a move to a new home and life, living with my uncle Mitchell and his husband Xavier.

At the garden nursery, Tyler selected 6 Ficus trees, and asked them to be potted into extra-large pots, and he asked for some bags of soil improver, and slow release fertiliser, plus a big selection of small shrubs that also flower at different times of the year, and asked for them to be delivered to the pub in the mid-afternoon tomorrow. Looking at his watch, as they exited the nursery, Tyler gave his friend a bump with his shoulder, and pointed to his watch, and Lucas looked at his. “They

“Thank you, Mary, and sorry about this, we are just very tired from the trip, I hate to think how I would feel if we were in Economy class,” Tyler replied, “That is fine my Lord, just relax we are fine,” Mary said. “When do my parents take over control of the pub that you bought for them?” Lucas asked, “In a week, which gives them time to recover from the trip and to scout around and get used to their new surroundings,” Tyler replied. The next morning, after breakfast, Tyler asked

“I’ve asked you all in here now, as there is a business deal that I need to update you all on. As you may have read in the media recently the company Freightlink has gone into receivership and has been trying to sell its assets, namely the Darwin to Tarcoola Rail line. I know you read that it had been sold to a US company, but that has fallen through, and so Sebastian’s and my companies have done a deal, and under the same consortium name, we have purchase a 60% majority share of the rail

Sorry to disappoint you, but none of that will be happening. i have just completed writing chapter 18, which is the last chapter of this story.

My colleague here, is Lord Tyler Finch, the Earl of Portland, and I ask that you address him by his proper title,” Lewis said. “Excuse me sir, but didn’t you leave out your official title?” one of the staff asked, and Lewis heard Tyler chuckling behind him before whispering, “Busted my friend.” “Very well, I am officially known as, Sir Commander Lewis Shaw, CVO,VC, SC, DSC, but my awards are mostly military, and the others are awarded for service, so I am not to fazed about my title, where

Once that was done, Hamysh released a media release to the one commercial and the one national television news channels, to officially declare the Northport Harbour Control Complex operational. “It is with great pleasure that the Northport Consortium, consisting of Lloyd Family Corporation and Wagner Investments Corporation, announce the opening of the new Northport Harbour control complex to be known as Northport Harbour City. As of this Monday at 6am, Northport along with the Nort

When I heard a heap of activity happening outside, I went out to investigate, and I was surprised to see that the cargo ship was now quite close to the research facility, and it was in the process of unloading something, using its giant crane. “What is this?” I asked Amanda who was smiling. “You retreated to your office without finding out if that was all the ship has on board. It is another extension for your facility, a top deck, that neatly fits on top and in the centre of the facility,

“Good evening, as Sebastian said, my name is Hamysh Lloyd and I would like to give you some more information about this complex that we are talking about. You have read in the media about three years ago, about a floating city that sits in a sheltered bay of the Abrolhos Islands, off the coast of Geraldton, Western Australia. Well a similar but small version of that has been built specifically for the consortium, to provide a work, rest and relaxation place for Darwin harbour. This secure co

This is based on real fact.... A private Chinese company has a long term lease of the two main wharfs in Darwin Harbour. A major stuff up of the Northern Territory Government and Federal Government.

Within a very short six weeks, the approval was given for the project, that will involve the construction of a new wharf, plus 16 kilometres of new rail to link the main rail line to this new wharf. With exactly 50 acres of land designated for this project, to be on the western side of the point, with the wharf going in a north-westerly direction from just 350 metres south of the point, with all mangrove and shrub vegetation on the north and eastern sides of the point not to be disturbed.

“Sir, if I am mistaken, this sounds like we are building our own private navy?” I asked, “You are correct in regarding these new additions as such, and as I stated before it is to protect my family’s investments and interests in the area. I have already had my own navy since Joshua was a small boy, starting with my first private giant submarine the Aquaria and soon followed by the Oceania. Those are my first and most important investments, to protect and defend the world’s sea’s and oceans f

No idea, I was considering it a few chapters back until new ideas popped into my head, and now with this consortium, it may continue for some time, as I am still writing both this story and the other one.

The shorter flight to Darwin was smooth and uneventful for Tyler, as was passing through customs, and once that was all completed, he entered the main terminal and headed for outside, whereas expected it was very hot and humid for the middle of the afternoon, with it being close to 4 pm by the time the taxi arrived at the Mindil Beach resort. As Tyler checked in, he asked the receptionist for some notepaper and a pen, and he wrote a short message. “Mr Lloyd, I am in Lagoon suite 8 of this re

Waiting until as late as possible, Tyler set off on the same train journey to London City Airport, where a chartered flight was waiting for him to take Tyler back to the Isle of Wight, with George driving to the airport to collect him. After two weeks back at his home on the Isle of Wight, Tyler was starting to get restless, and he was longing to return home to Australia, even if it is for a short while, and he spoke to his Uncle Charles on the telephone a number of times to discuss this with hi

“Having problems my friend, I am on my way down,” Joshua said, “Ok, it seems I can’t get past this idiot in the east foyer,” I replied, which made Joshua laugh, before he ended the call. The guard frowned at me, when I called him an idiot, and he still refused to let me pass, and a few moments later, Joshua stepped out of the elevator, and walked rapidly in our direction, stopping in front of me and wrapping me in a tight embrace. “You know this man, Mr Alliston,” the guard asked, “Do thin

The flight over to the island was a little over 90 minutes, and the couple. Edward and Marjory, who came to collect them, Tyler learnt are Charles’s caretakers and housekeeper, who live a few kilometres down the road. After half an hour of Mary chatting to Marjory about what is happening on the island, Edward interrupted. “His honour has made a few property purchases on the island recently, of which his latest is where we will be heading tonight, as he thinks it is best that you stay hidden
