The intern he had just bumped into bent almost immediately to pick it up, “I'm so sorry sir”Ray's eyes narrowed, “You again? What the hell are you doing here at this odd hour” his voice pitched slightly from shock.“Mr Frank asked me to get a document he had to work on tonight”Rays stared still, the intern trembled under his gaze.“I was coming this way so he asked me to help him out”. He stammered.“He's my neighbor,” he continued, hopin

By the time Ray walked out of the police station, the sun had set, so he decided to head home.He got home and turned on his television.“News happening at the moment” A black female reported, speaking from the other end of the screen.“The state police have discovered an affiliation between our very own elite valley tech limited and a Mafia gangster, Ricky Fernando…”Ray didn't let the reporter finish before hitting the power off button.His suitcase slipped from his hand as he sank into the cushion.“Rick is driving at something…why is he so quick to throw me under the bus” he muttered.Massaging his creased forehead.

Jake's POV.“Jake!!” Matt called out, from the living room of his simple studio apartment.Jake groaned painfully from the other end of the room.Since the divorce process started Jake had spent his time drinking and sobering up on Matt's king-sized bed.“Leave me alone” Jake muttered, his words muffled by the pillow case.“Jake you really have to see this” Matt’s finger scrolled hurriedly through his phone screen.“No…..” Before Jake could finish, Matt was already standing by his bed in the monochrome room.“Watch this” Matt tossed his phone down to the pyjamas-clad bad-hair-day Jake.Jake sat up…. picked up the phone.His eyes lit up once a video started playing, the video of him in Ray's office.“This can't be happening” he whimpered, letting his hands fall to his mouth to stop him from shouting.“You really cheated on him?” Matt asked, his eyes narrowing with creased brows.Those words pierced through Jake.He shifted his gaze painfully to his cousin….” I would never do that, you
