MasukFred POVI walked out of my father's office with more questions than answers, and every step I took down the corridor only made the anger boiling inside me worse. I had entered that office believing I was finally going to secure my position and leave with something valuable, yet somehow I had walked out feeling like the biggest fool in the entire building.I pushed open the door to my office and slammed it so hard that the sound echoed through the corridor."Arghhhhhhh!"I kicked the door shut and dragged both hands through my hair, pacing across the room as every word from that damn stranger replayed in my head.You're a piece on a chessboard...Your brother is the brain....You were never playing this game alone..."Fuck!" I grabbed the nearest file from my desk and threw it across the room. Papers scattered everywhere as I turned toward the table and slammed both palms against it."Who the hell are these people?"My breathing grew heavier as I paced again, unable to sit still. I h
Fred POVThe secretary stood awkwardly in the doorway with the tray balanced between both hands. Her eyes moved from my father to the stranger and then finally settled on me.I could see the exact moment she realized that something was wrong because her fingers tightened around the edge of the tray while her lips parted as though she suddenly regretted entering the room. "I... I can come back later.""Close the door." His voice was barely above a whisper but she heard the command in it. She stepped into the room and carefully closed the door behind her before walking toward the desk with slow and uncertain steps."I brought the tea you requested, sir."She placed the tray on the table and the cups rattled softly against their saucers. Nobody moved to touch them, and the silence that followed made the poor woman look even more uncomfortable.I couldn't help wondering why she was so nervous.This was my father's office and she had probably entered it countless times before, so why was
Fred POVThe question came out so casually that I almost thought I had heard him wrong.I stared at him, waiting for the person on the other end to respond. There was a brief silence before a voice finally answered."Thirty men are down, sir."My expression changed.Thirty?I glanced at my father, but his face remained completely still, as though hearing that thirty men had just been killed was nothing unusual.The stranger simply leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lazily against the armrest."How many did Damien send to kill you all like fishes?" he asked, his tone almost amused.My brows furrowed. Damien?So this was connected to him after all.The voice on the other end answered after a brief pause. "More than we initially expected, sir. They're still coming."The stranger chuckled low, the sound dragging through the line. “Then stop counting bodies and start counting how many are left standing.” The call cut off, and when I looked up, he was already watching me.I held
Fred POV"Judgment?"The word immediately caught my attention, and I slowly turned around to look at him.My father was no longer wearing the tired expression he had carried since I entered the office. His face had become completely serious, and something about the way he said those words made the room suddenly feel much colder.I stared at him for a moment before slowly walking back toward my chair. "What judgment?"The stranger's smile returned.And that smile told me I was about to hear something I wasn't going to like."So it goes like this," he began, settling comfortably into his chair. "We've been watching you for quite some time, and you've been really good at sowing discord."I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Go straight to the point."I had heard enough of their riddles and dramatic speeches. If they had something to say to me, they should just say it instead of dragging me around in circles.The stranger's smile slowly faded. "Fine."He crossed one leg over the other and studied
Fred POV My eyes narrowed immediately when I saw the man standing there with an amused smile on his face. I hadn't even noticed him enter the room."Who the hell are you?" I demanded, my irritation rising.My father, however, didn't look surprised at all. He simply leaned back in his chair as though this man's arrival had been expected.The stranger chuckled softly. "Still as impatient as ever, Fred."I frowned.How did he know my name?I glanced at my father, but his expression remained unbothered."Father," I said slowly, "who is this man?"The stranger smiled wider. "Don't worry, Fred. You'll know me soon enough."His creepy smile and word immediately made the hairs on the back of my neck rise.Who exactly had my father been dealing with behind my back?"Should I introduce myself? Carter."My father looked at him with a faint frown. "Your master isn't here, and we are of the same status."The stranger's smile didn't fade. Instead, he reached into his coat and brought out a silver-
Fred POV"Where were we, Father? Oh, you were saying something."I leaned back in my chair, pretending I had completely forgotten about our little argument. His expression remained stern, but I could see the exhaustion in his eyes.He stared at me for a moment before slowly closing the file in front of him. "I was saying that I want Elias brought back."I raised an eyebrow. "Again?""Yes, again."I let out a quiet sigh and shook my head. "Father, why are you suddenly so concerned about Elias? You spent years treating him like he wasn't even your son, and now that he's gone, you want him back."His jaw tightened. "That's none of your concern."A small smile tugged at my lips. "Oh, but it is my concern when you're asking me to bring him back."He leaned forward, his face turning red. "Fred, don't test my patience."I chuckled softly. "Relax, Father. I only asked a question.""When are you moving to find him?"I almost laughed at the seriousness in his voice."Oh, Father, where exactly d
Fred POV I picked up my car keys and headed for the door. “Mom, I’m going out. I’ll be back late today,” I shouted and closed the door behind me. “Don’t forget your jacket, baby,” my mom’s annoying voice called out. “Yes, Momma.” Rolling my eyes and walking to where my baby Range Rover SV wa
Elias POV I walked out of a cafe, with an iced coffee in hand. The streets were bright with morning light, but it did little to pierce the darkness inside me. The memory of last night still fresh like it happened today. Emily fell in step beside me holding a pizza in her hands, she didn’t let me
Damien POV The young man’s tears continue to stream down his flushed cheeks. “Please… stop,” he sobbed, voice cracking. “I can’t—I beg you.” I ignored his plea, my fingers continued their relentless intrusion, pushing deeper into the tight heat of the young man’s ass. Each thrust drew louder, pai
Damien POV "Ugh...shit". I staggered out of the automatic doors, my tailored suit no longer immaculate. My body reeks of the strong smell of alcohol. My breath raspy as I coughed violently, making me clutch my chest as I tried holding my lungs ironically. The Aphrodisiac powder burned through my
