A sudden loud ring cut through the earpiece, almost deafening. James and Dex had to pull it out immediately.

“Fuck! What the hell was that?” Dex asked, wincing slightly.

“Shit.” James muttered, fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard. “I think someone messed with the intercoms.” He said, looking around frantically. He wired a new set of earpiece and plugged it in his ear.

“Mark? Mark. Boss?” He called but there was no response.

James tore the earpiece out and set it aside, doing the sam

    Elian shoved the office door open hard enough to bring it down. He barged in, slamming the door shut behind him as anger rolled out of him in waves. A few seconds later, the door opened again and Dex walked in behind him, shutting the door more carefully. Dex did not make a sound, even though he knew exactly what was going on with his husband, he waited for Elian to cool down, or let out his anger instead. Most possibly the latter.He shrugged off his coat, dropped it on a nearby chair and leaned against the wall. “That bastard,” Elian sneered.Yup, definitely the latter.Elian turned around sharply, setting his cold eyes on Dex, “He stood there, in front of both sides, and questioned me like I was a fucking decoration standing next to you.”Dex exhaled slowly. “Do not think of yourself like that sweetheart. He was just scared.”Elian looked at Dex like he's lost his mind. “Scared? Are you hearing yourself Dex?”“I’m serious,” Dex said, taking a few steps closer. “That was a man wat

    Mark sighed sharply, boots propped up on the edge of the control desk as his eyes moved across the CCTV feeds. He could see all of the meeting hall from here, packed with men, Dex and Elian at the front, the visible split still lingering between Russo and Virelli bodies. His job was to watch everything, make sure no one used the meeting as cover to slip where they didn’t belong.On the other hand, it left him alone with too many screens and too much silence. This wasn't what he wanted to spend his free time doing but oh well, some things could wait. Then the door opened behind him.“No one’s allowed to roam until the meeting’s finished,” Mark said immediately, slowly looking away from the monitors. “Get back to your–”He stopped speaking when he saw James standing at the entrance, walking in and shutting the door behind him. “It’s me,” James said.Mark’s legs came off the table at once. He stood up so fast, chair rolling back an inch behind him. “What are you doing here?” he breath

    By the time Elian entered the hall, the meeting was already filling out. The room was large enough to hold both sides without forcing them into one another, but not so large to hide the painful obvious division in the way they stood. Russo men occupied one half. Virelli men occupied the other. They traded cautious glances time to time. Dex was stood at the front, looking composed and fully in command. When his eyes found Elian, a fleeting moment of heat passed through the eye contact before it vanished. Elian took his place beside him silently. That alone caused immediately attention of everyone, they all straightened at once. Without wasting another minute, Dex began speaking. “I’ll keep this simple,” he said, voice carrying cleanly through the hall. “We all know why we're here today. We've been through this already, but today I'd just a final evaluation, a chance for you to think this through for the last time. Because after today, there will be no excuse accepted from anyone

    Elian stared up at him, trapped between the wall and the solid line of Dex’s body. Up close, in the heat of Dex’s attention, there was an unmistakable fact that the both of them had been craving for this exact moment. “You’re unbelievable,” Elian muttered, trying to play off how deeply affected he was by the presence of his husband standing so close to him. Dex’s eyes flicked to his mouth. “That’s not a no.” “We have a meeting.” Elian tried to knock some senses into Dex, mostly to himself too. “It can wait five minutes.” Elian gave Dex an eye. “Dex.” “Elian.” He leaned in another fraction, close enough that their breaths mixed. “You already admitted you missed me. Don’t get shy now.” Elian’s jaw tightened, more from the losing battle than actual refusal. He glanced down at the handle of the closed door, then back at Dex, irritation and want tangled too tightly in his body. “If anyone walks in-” “They won’t.” Elian exhaled hard through his nose, then gripped the front of

    Elian watched as his men piled into the waiting cars and pulled out of the syndicate safe house one after another, before vanishing down the road in a steady line. James stood at his side, tablet in hand, eyes tracking every vehicle as the last of them left the compound. “All units are clear,” James said quietly. Elian gave a short nod, but his attention was only half on the report. Three weeks. It had been three weeks since he last saw Dex. Three weeks of nonstop paperwork, restructuring, quiet purges, forced loyalty checks, and the endless work of holding a syndicate together after cutting the head from it. Dex had been buried under the same weight on his own side. They spoke every day on the phone, giving each other updates, sharing decisions and the occasional familiar bite of teasing, but it was not the same. It was never the same as standing in the same room. It was never the same as watching Dex push him on purpose just to look smug about it afterward. Never the same

    Elian pushed the door open and stepped into Jacob Virelli’s office.He silently stood there, one hand still on the handle, eyes moving carefully over the room. Nothing had changed from his memory. The broad desk remained exactly where it had always been, the shelves still held their ordered rows of files and old volumes. The windows looked out over the same stretch of estate grounds Jacob had watched for years. Even the air felt different, heavy with authority. Elian stepped in and closed the door behind him.He walked in without hurry, eyes trained on the empty seat behind the polished desk, as if part of him still expected the old man to be seated there waiting with that thin, unreadable expression. But the chair behind the desk remained empty. And the room now belonged to no one, except the person willing to claim it.And that person was him.Elian stopped in front of the desk, still staring at it silently. All of his tormentors were gone. His father, his brother, his grandfat

    “You both look…well rested.” Jacob, Elian's grandfather, said finally after eating in silence for the past ten minutes.Jacob, Derek, Dex and Elian sat at the table for brunch. Surprisingly, the both of them had come down at the same time for their late breakfast when it was announced that Elian's

    Elian stormed into the wildly decorated bedroom, already peeling off every layer of clothing on him. He threw the million dollar suit on him to the floor and turned to glare at his rival, aka his husband, who just walked past him, pretending as if he wasn't even standing there.Anger boiled in him

    Elian breathed hard, his senses going haywire as he jumped Dex and they both went down hard. Dex fell to the floor first and then Elian, right on top of him. Elian wrapped around Dex's neck and he squeezed with a sickening glint in his eyes. He wanted to see as life left his eyes, he wanted to be

    Elian's fingers drummed on the table repeatedly as Marie, his personal assistant, ran through the details of the ongoing shipment of weapons which seemed to be at stake at the moment. But Elian didn't hear anything Marie was saying, all her words were flying over his head as he kept staring at the
