I didn’t say that Wagners own Aquaria, only that they will work together in building a bigger fleet of research vessels.

After the phone call, I dumped my bag and followed Emelia to the garage, where her little Toyota Yaris is parked. “With all the money the twins pay you, why don’t you get a bigger car?” I asked as I squeezed into the small car. “I like this thankyou Mr Xander, it is all I need” Emelia replied, and we headed off to Claremont, stopping at the estate agents to collect the keys, before travelling to Bay road. When we arrived, I immediately had a bad feeling about this place, as it was just two b

“Touché Mr Devonport, I guess I will just have to wait till the next School board meeting, which happens to be this Friday evening” the headmaster said to me smiling. “That you will sir, one last thing, I ask that only you, know my connection to Wagner Corporation, as I would like to remain as anonymous as possible” I asked. “I can guarantee that Mr Devonport, and you better take back this business card, so it doesn’t accidently get into the wrong hands” the headmaster said, as he handed it

“Well there is a house, that would make a good investment, no direct river access, but unlimited river views in Bindaring Parade, Claremont, just one block north of being in the Shire of Peppermint Grove. The property is number 14 and it looks to have been built fairly recently, with a front double garage on the northside, ahead of a walled courtyard, before actually getting to the house itself. From what I saw on the sign at the front, it has 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a billiards room, st

Hi Mister Will, just to clarify something you said, it is not the Brits who throw in extra letter into words, if you look back in history, you will see that a good majority of White Americans originate from the UK and Europe, and it is them who have dropped letters in some words. Q

I said before, there is more about Devon to come, just not right away.

After the dramatic reunion between my cousin Sebastian, and his husband Lewis, during my cousin's graduation ceremony at the university, the family settled down to a more quieter and relaxing lifestyle, with Seb and Lewis settling down at their home at Fowler Bay, 24 kilometres South of Denham, while the twins had decided to continue with jet setting around the world when-ever they felt like it, and they jointly bought a grand house on the banks of the Swan River, in the suburb of Mosman Park.

With the dramatic reunion of Sebastian and Lewis now over, and they having settled into their home in the Gascoyne region of WA, Xander settles down to life in Western Australia, attending boarding school, in the Western suburbs and spending weekends at the twins luxury home down the road, on the banks of the Swan River, but it is not long before events take a change of course for Xander.

Yes there is a second story of Devon and EQD.

Yes it is fiction, but because there is no doubt at all regarding ownership of the plans, that is why it was quickly resolved

Devon had gone into the study to call his parents in Australia, to tell them to get Michael and Margaret to cancel their plans to travel to Scotland, as his plans may soon be changing but he didn’t know how or when, so he couldn’t give any more details. After the phone call, Devon took Adam and Sue Kilthorne down to the duplex, and Sue said it was a lot larger than their current apartment, with this having a large back yard with lawn, while they have a small back courtyard and no room for a

It was the parents who demanded that they head back home. it was Julia who decided that her sons are banned from staying at the cottage.

“So, I guess you have had a crush on me, and you were hoping I was gay too?” Devon asked, and shyly Edgar nodded his head and blushed. Devon felt sorry having to disappoint his cousin that he was not gay, “I’m sorry but I am not gay, but I am fully supportive for you like your parents are, so don’t hesitate to come to me if you have any problems or questions” Devon said giving his cousin a hug before sitting down to eat. “So, am I allowed to stay here then?” Edgar asked concerned that he ma

Giving the men a ₤50 tip each, they thanked Devon and made their way back to their workplace very happy men, and Devon spent another half an hour looking around inside before looking at his watch and dashing back to his car to go and collect Edgar from school. After some afternoon tea, Edgar when out to ride Horatio for an hour, before giving him a shower and rub down, meanwhile the truck with the piano arrived, along with two more vehicles with extra helpers, and Devon made his way down to

As Devon laid back down, he looked at the straw in the glass and frowned, which just made Edgar laugh, and Devon just smiled at his cousin realising that he had brought the straw back just too purposely annoy him. “I don’t know what I would do without you cousin, you seem to be around just when I need you the most, and any other time that I need a guiding hand with anything,” Devon said to Edgar, who just blushed. When the doctor came to see Devon, it was the same Doctor that treated him

No worry about that.

When Edgar had finished, he pulled out a pair of pyjamas from his backpack and helped Devon into them, before removing the towels, and placing them in a plastic bag on the lower shelf of the trolley, along with the two washcloths and the two drying towels. Edgar pushed the trolley to the corner of the room near the door and opened the curtains, and the door, to let the nursing staff know he had finished. “I hope you don’t mind, I brought a clean pair of my pyjamas, so you don’t have to wear

Devon went to look for Julia, and as he stepped out into the huge entry hall, he was bowled over by the twins; next thing Devon knew was that he was in bed upstairs and a doctor was examining him, “Hello young man, I’m glad to see you woke up, you have been unconscious for nearly two hours” the doctor said and he looked towards the door where Julia was standing. “Ensure he gets plenty of rest and he is to stay in bed at least till lunchtime Friday, if there are any constant headaches or eyes

Thanks After posting the death of Huon, I felt that I had made a big mistake doing it, so this short story is a sort of fix to that mistake. Q

I drifted aimlessly for a few years as Kyle completed his high school education and started studying Medicine at University, thanks to a scholarship, which had been set up by Sebastian. I was sitting in my usual spot in the rectory, when Kyle went to answer the phone, and when I heard Kyle say the name Sebastian, I was on full alert. The call had been put on the loudspeaker, so I was able to hear both sides of the conversation, as I listened to my cousin asked Kyle and Annette if they wished
