Two days later.......

The clouds darkened, a soft drizzle drifting down, casting a thin veil over the city. The air was filled with earthy scent of wet soil and blooming flowers, Alan held up his face, inhaling and exhaling gently.

Great...., another rain shower!!.

He scanned the crowd of people hurrying about, seeking shade from the rain; quietly tucking his hands deep into his pockets. Straightening his back, he stepped out and into the rain, taking long strides towards the underground car

    Alan laid on his bed, his feet kicking wildly in the air as he munched on sunflower seeds. His fingers scrolling through countless media articles expressing shock and disbelief about the Gu's sudden asset liquidation.Some even going as far as calling it a ' high famed construction giant at the brink of bankruptcy ', but the comments were actually the icing on the cake.The netizens had spared no costs, every section was filled up with curses and random threats - if they weren't just paranoid, they could have passed on for trolls. He chuckled, rolling over to his side with absolute delight. Blissfully ignoring the dark figure leaning against the door frame, watching him quietly while he's busy cheering at his family's downfall. "You seem awfully glad today, anything you'd like to tell me?", Zeke's voice fell, his deep tone sending shockwaves through Alan's body. He froze, his lips gaping in shock. Then he snapped out of it, his fingers pointing at Zeke's amused smile with a tone ful

    Amelia held her phone, sitting at the back seat - her once calm gaze turning complicit. News of the company's assets liquidation had spread around like wildfire, alerting the shareholders and placing her in a strained spot. Worse still, every attempt made to curb the situation had proven to be futile. She groaned softly, her delicate fingers pressed against her throbbing temples. This situation had spiraled way out of control, with the ongoing project underway,this could prove to be fatal.Amelia stared at her assistant through the rearview mirror, her voice firm, "Head back to the company, i've got important matters to settle". "Yes, ma'am", the assistant nodded, his back stiffening. His grip on the stirring wheels tightening as he spoke, his voice low. "And also... ma'am, there's been calls from the chairman".Amelia shut her eyes, a slow, dull anticipation hitting her chest. The old man called? Guess he already saw the news. She leaned back, relaxing into her car seat, " What did

    At the Gu family's villa..... Old Su and Old man Gu sat at a table of Go, their quiet, aged eyes locked on the 19×19 board with grave seriousness. Around them, tall lush trees swayed in the warm, afternoon breeze; casting shadows over their slightly hunched figures as they focused on the game.Old Su cleared his throat, sizing up the small board with a heavy gaze,"Old Gu, about your son .... don't you think you went a bit too far this time?", he picked up a small, black stone from the goke; pressing it between his calloused fingertips before pinning it in the midst of Old Gu's camp. He let out a soft exhale, staring at the move he'd made with satisfaction as he leaned back just enough to relax his stressed body. Old Gu furrowed his brows, his stern eyes focused on dissecting the move his old pal had made. Then he let out a low snort, "That brat won't learn any other way, he's just an unfilial waste of efforts".He paused. Placing his white stones two intersections forward, he compl

    "Boss, the job's wrapped. I've compiled every list of shares held in the company, not one information less. There's a file attached, everything else is awaiting your orders"." Hmm~", Zeke stood with his back to the dark figure, wiping his hands with a towel. His sharp, piercing gaze fixated on the pot of porridge simmering on the stove with a slow, satisfied nod. "Have the next phase initiated,i want all assets liquidated by dusk. Let's have the Gu's corporation hanging on a thin thread"."Sure boss!", the dark figure lowered his head in a quick nod, his rough eyes lingering on the boss's broad busy figure stir- frying vegetables by the stove. Even when preparing meals,the boss's aura had diminished a bit - the stark contrast made his eyes twitch.How far was the boss willing to go for that pretty boy's sake? Even declining himself to mere kitchen chores, at this point, there was absolutely nothing he wouldn't do.Slow, steady steps descended from the stairs and Alan's slender figur

    "I guess that leaves me with tails", Zeke beamed, tossing the coin into the air. He watched it flip over three times before landing on his thumb. Alan held his breath, craning his neck so he could get a closer look. Zeke stared at the coin, a small chuckle escaping his lips - he glanced at Alan, a mysterious glint flashing through his eyes. "So.. which is it?", Alan asked, his clenched fists hanging loosely by his sides, unable to contain his anxiety any further. Ezekiel ran his tongue over his thin lips, his gaze holding more suspense than a whirlwind cliffhanger. He stroked his smooth chin, raising a perfectly arched brow, voice barely above audible, "It's...." "It's what?"Zeke raised his eyes, watching worried creases form above Alan's usually smooth forehead. He was already rocking himself while chewing on his fingernails, looking almost at the verge of losing his cool.Zeke gave a devilish grin, revealing a perfect set of white teeth. "It's tails".The room went perfectly st

    Wait.... What?! Alan blinked, his lashes fluttering in a stunned gaze. Ezekiel, taking advantage of Alan's momentary confusion, wrapped his arms around Alan's waist. With a small tug, he pulled Alan close, slamming his slender frame against his hard muscles - close enough to catch a whiff of Alan's hazelnut scented shampoo.He leaned in, letting his nose run through Alan's hair before burying his face in the nook of his neck, all while ignoring Alan's constant vain attempts at breaking free from his grasp."You smell so good, Alan", Zeke sprayed hot breath on Alan's sensitive skin, which had turned red from embarrassment. A slow, satisfied moan escaping his dry,raspy throat.Alan bit back a moan, his sanity overwhelming his desires. He gave up struggling, it was absolutely pointless at this point - Zeke clearly had a tight grip on him. So much for calling him fragile..."Mr Ezekiel, your behavior right now is unbecoming. This is a violation of my rights and i demand that you let me g

    The air stilled, everyone's eyes shifting from Alan to Amelia on instinct. Ignoring the awkward stares, Amelia leaned, her back straightening with a cold, noble aura. She stared at Alan, her brown eyes as calm as a still lake, "Brother, i can understand your plight. Leave it to me, i'll be sure to

    Hiss... Dylan clutched the leather chair, biting back his screams. Tears pooled around his eyes, his gaze locked on the bloodied, swollen scratches on his left knee. Damn that psycho, red-haired brat!! The sharp, pungent sting of menthylated spirit reached his nostrils, accompanied by the fa

    Melissa stepped into the office, dazed. Cold sweat made strands of her thick curls to cling to her fair skin as she kept her gaze fixated on the floors. "What happened..?, you seemed to be taking a long while to return. I was just starting to get worried that you'd been kidnapped on your way here.

    Melissa hissed, eyes tearing up as she rubbed the methylated cotton swab gently over her bruise. Her hands trembled, her lips pursed as she blew softly on her wound. Her first day at work had turned out to be a disaster. Getting all bruised up like this....She winced, sucking in a sharp breath. H
