Jake's POV.

He dropped to the wooden floor, letting his head bury between his bent knees.

His mind ran back to Ray's words: “Even death can't save you ask Enzo and Matt.” The hands folded around his knee tightened.

“What did he mean by that?”

The door cracked open, Jake glanced at the silhouette of the intruder before burying his Head back into his bent knees.

“Pathetic” Henry spat out.

Wheeling towards Jake.

Jake's head remained buried between his knees.

    Ray's POV.“I need tickets to the next flight to Europe” said one of the officers at the airport.His eyes landed on the name tag on her chest, “Max.”She nodded.“What's the purpose of your traveling?” she smiled, the kind you could tell was professional courtesy.“Private issues” he blurted.In three minutes, after the back-and-forth questioning and answering, he reached out and took the ticket from her.“Your flight is in 15 minutes, Mr Lorenzo” she offered.He nodded and walked over to the lobby.Pulled his phone and dialed a number, “What's the update?” He asked on if the guards.“The doctor says Jake will be discharged tomorrow and there's a nurse, Gwen, who has been checking in on the lady…she's been asking about you though”“As expected” Ray thought, “make sure you watch them closely, especially the lady”“The next flight is about to take off” an airport announcement came on, interrupting Ray's call.Ray ended the call immediately.And made it to the plane runway.He found his

    Henry's POV As they strode into an extravagant splurge of purple balloons and linens, with a big 35th anniversary silver balloon at the center of the hall.All the eyes in the room trailed after Henry and Frank as they made their way to their seat.Maybe it was Frank's tuxedo and right-gelled hair or his bright smile that drew them so much attention.Henry's grip around Frank's fingers tightened.“It's alright,” Frank whispered, leaning in slightly.They finally got to the first table on the first row, where it was specifically written, “CEO OF ELITE TECH” on one of the four seats there.Henry sank in, and Frank followed into the embroidered seat by his left, the man sitting by his right, spoke above the loud orchestra melody floating through the room.“I've seen Ray enough to know you are not him, what are you doing here?” The stranger's voice was calm, so calm that it sent chills down Frank's spine.Henry's eyes trailed his wrinkled face, the man clearly was 65 or somewhere in betw

  • Reckoning after The Divide    Chapter 32- Raining Orders

    Ray's POV.His hands clutched hard on the mobile phone to his ears.“The honorable's wedding anniversary is your spotlight idea?” Ray asked.“Trust me sir, this idea of mine would work” Henry stuttered. “I'm sure of it”“Ok,” Ray responded after a long beat of silence.“Have any threat messages been sent in so far” Ray asked.“No sir” Henry answered almost immediately, almost sounding rehearsed.Ray waited, Henry said nothing, else… then he hung up.He turned back to his laptop on the desk, the frenzied image of Henry and Frank displayed on his screen.“What did he say” he heard Frank ask.“Ok” Henry shrugged, “he said ok”A knock interrupted, before he had the time to look up, his door creaked open.“Big brother, can we go do something fun” Susan's words drawled as her starry eyes pleaded.Ray's gaze landed on her stomach, bulging from her cropped top.He ground his teeth, “If George were still alive, that son of a bitch who put her in this condition would be dead now” he thought, “i

    Ray's POV.Ray cursed in his head as his eyes landed on Jake, barely able to stand in his grip.The fear in Jake's eyes: Ray felt it pulse through his veinsThe hairs on his skin stood as heat surged through his skin.“Let go of me” Jake stuttered, his eyes darting to the kitchen island, avoiding Ray's burning gaze.Ray leaned in, their lips almost brushing against each other.“Do not confuse my kindness for weakness” Ray ground his teeth.He stared down at Jake's shimmering lips and hated how they called to him.Without waiting for a response, he grabbed Jake's lips in a fast needy speed, biting hard on Jake's lips.Jake groaned against his lips, his groan filled with a mix of pain and pleasure, the kind that someone who regrets the day he met you shouldn't feel, Ray thought.Ray pushed his tongue in, Jake moaned softly, and he felt Jake's hands ease under his grip.Ray's tongue stroked the roof of Jake's mouth hard.Jake's hip bucked forward, grinding against Ray's hard bulge.“Ahmm

    Henry's POV.“Sir, I want to go to work from here” Henry said, hoping that his voice was as firm as he had convinced himself in the mirror last night.Ray was clad in a bathrobe that barely covered his chest.Henry swallowed hard, as his gaze traveled down Ray's biceps.Ray yawned, his hair roughened by the bed sheets he had just risen from.“Till the end of our little contract, you are to remain submissive to me, it's in the contract”Henry froze, as the memory clicked, he did see that clause in the contract but thought it was…. ““Go and prepare for work, your stuff will be moved before the end of the day, no need to come back here*Cold sweat broke out on Henry's forehead.“Frank said as a final attempt at salvaging himself”He searched Ray's eyes, expectantly“I know, get out” Ray roared.Henry walked out looking like a chicken bitten by rain.2 hours Henry was walking through the walls of Valley Tech Limited.The once buzzing company now looked deserted, he barely counted up to 1

    Henry's POV.“I have resigned,” Frank announced from the other end of the phone.Henry's eyes widened as he came 3a halt right in front of his room, below Ray's.“What do you mean” his words drawled.“Let's meet up tomorrow, I'll give you the details” Frank answered.“I'll send the address” he continued, followed by a short beep, signifying the termination of the call.Henry stared blankly at the doorknob before finally walking in.Ray's POV.“Hey, I want you to track something, can you do that?” His voice echoed into his room as he spoke into the phone.“Yes, what's that?” The private investigator answered.“Someone has been sending threatening letters to my company, find the person” he paused.As if trying to find the perfect landing for the next words.“I need more men like the ones here guarding and watching the intern”He continued, almost bored, “I can't afford to let him die”.“Roger that sir, I'll get to work immediately,” the private investigator answered.And Ray ended the
