Sebastian Torres and Ryan McCall Growan were beyond best of friends in the past, they were practically seen as either brothers or lovers. All soon changed after Ryan's mysterious disappearance that lasted for six years with dust contact between him and Sebastian. Then he came back, and the first thing he does was steal the one thing he knew Sebastian has always wanted. Indirectly declared himself as his rival, and fretted a war between them. His motive however, held secrets. What secrets? Would Sebastian find out too late about these secrets before he hands Ryan's head out to him? Or... is the fine say about a thin line between love and hatred about to express itself in their story?

SUBTITLE: The Billionaire’s Forever Nemesis ©️Copyright by Black Moon. Written and Owned by Author Black Moon. Chapter 1 Sebastian’s point of view I had on a stoic face, a blank reaction to the lady that rocked and twerked her life out on my legs. My eyes were pinned on a figure far away from me, rather than fixed on the girl I’d came into the club with. At the far end of the room receiving my heavy and intense gaze, in the middle of two girls dancing, was Ryan McCall. A whiskey glass to his left hand, while his right hand guarded a lady’s thigh to sync well with his moves. What’s with him and always stalking me? I came to this club to unwind and have some fun, there I met him already doing that. He never goes clubbing, I knew that because I knew him. He’s the bastard who wouldn’t allow me become the city’s top wealthiest billionaire. He’s my forbidden challenge, my eternal nemesis, and the toughest bane to my goddamn existence. The mere sight of him sets my blood on fire, my lungs on rage. We didn’t become enemies out of the blue, in fact we used to be more than acquaintances, we were best friends in the past, best of friends. We grew up together, went to the same high school, and graduated from the same college. We were often referred to as twin brothers, some would even go further and call us lovers. That was how close we were. Everything however, for no reason became dust when Ryan disappeared for six years barely some months after we left college. I searched everywhere for him, looked everywhere for him then, did all I could to contact him and be assured of his safety, but I got nothing. I got nothing, no response, no assurance, nothing at all came from him to me. The only closure I had was from his father, who told me then Ryan was gone because he wanted nothing to do with me no longer. It took me two good years to forget about him and move the fuck on with my life. I went on with my dreams, my goals and launched my company, I had a rough start out but I became bigger than I expected, I found my way to the very top, four years after I debuted into the CEO’s career. Then all of a sudden, out of the calm seething blue came Ryan McCall, announced as the heir to the Growan’s empire. An empire a tip below my feet of status. In the lightest of time, Ryan levitated his empire above mine and took the first spot from me. He also worked overtime to launch a limimal space between us so I wouldn’t come back for his throne quicker easily. How he did it was never clear to me, but it only took him a year and a half to become my enemy. That was the last knack for me to despise every single thing on earth that answers Ryan McCall. He first off left me out to the wild for five good years, then return to reward our past by becoming my misery. He took the one thing he knew I’ve always dreamt of having. I recall the days I’ve yabbed to him on how I wanted to become the most successful man in our city if not the world, how I aspired to be at the very top. Yet he became an obstacle, and locked the path to my dream. It’s bitter of me, but I could care less. Especially when I found out Ryan has been stealing my investors. Nevertheless, I stayed quiet and never gave up, I became more determined than ever. I branched out of my main game, and utilized ny other talents to chase back for the top spot. I’m a software developer, days alone in my room could bred an expensive unit for the future. All these while this went on between the both of us for a year and the half, Ryan made no mistake to reach out to me and explain to me why he was gone for all these years. And that only made me hate him the more, that truly he never regarded me the way I regarded him. Instead he initiated the petty game to keep me on to himself, and feigned ignorance. He’d go after the people I intend to work with, and get them for himself. I’m pretty sure I won’t have a great night if Ryan doesn’t disappear out of my sight so I pushed the lady on me off as I urged to my feet. “Excuse me,” my dry tone mouthed apologetically as I sauntered away from her. I’m familiar with the club’s owner, he’s a friend and a partner. I in no time arrived and knocked on the door to his office. “Come-“ he didn’t finish his sentence before I pushed the door open for my presence to lure in. “Sebastian Torres, to what do I owe-“ “I need to own your club tonight. Ten million dollars.” I went straight to the point, my face bored as I anticipated his response. “Tonight, as in what do you mean-“ “I’m going to buy the ownership for this club for twenty four hours, after which the club will go back to being yours,” I cut him off to expatiate on what I mean better. “Oh!” He hummed. “For Ten Million Dollars,” I reiterated to pitch my seriousness. “Fine, let me get you the paperworks,” “That’ll be unnecessary,” I responded before I turned around and exited the office. I went back to the club, up at the ViP section where I and Ryan were. He was right where I left him. I went straight to him the moment I arrived back at the lounge, my cold eyes narrowed at the two ladies melting all around him, they halted in an instant, as they pulled away from him. “Mister Sebastian. Wow, it’s so lovely to-“ “Get out of my club,” I ignored the lady that tried to start a conversation with me to gave Ryan my order instead. Ryan looked around in confusion to who I might be talking to if not him, though my steel gaze was pinned on him as well as ny intimidating aura, yet he still thought my words were directed to someone else. This was our first time in near seven years that an interaction would ensue between the both of them. How rich. “Last I checked, this club belongs to Asher Kings, a friend of mine actually soooo….. Is it me you’re talking to?” His brows creased with his squinted gaze. “Not tonight it doesn’t, this club is mine and owned for the next twenty four hours. Bought it for couple millions of dollars. Now I’d like to have you thrown out in the filthiest way possible, but given the need to be courteous, I’m rudely requesting you to get the fuck out of my club.” All while I spoke, fury burnt high inside of me. However, my facade appeared calm, my rage kept to my insides. No reflection of it on my face, neither a muscle strained on my cheek, nor veins stretched over my forehead. My facials remained calm and composed, other than the stoic expression I had on. “Alright, alright. Though this is not how I expect us to meet and talk Mister Sebastian Torres.” He chuckled as he staggered backwards. His movement slurry. He is drunk for sure. “Out,” I repeated coldly. Ryan laughed as he grabbed his jacket and took a gulp out of the whiskey bottle he held. “Let’s go ladies, the fun is not yet over. Don’t let this bitter bored fellow stop us from having fun.” He waved at the ladies who swerved to his side at once. “But I promise you Mister, I’m gonna get you back.” I huffed at his threat, even though it doesn’t sound like one.Chapter 117 Sebastian’s point of view I was about ten minutes into my drive back home when my phone started to ring out. It was Donna, I’m guessing she wanted updates on how today went with Ryan. I picked the call only after connecting it to the car’s Bluetooth so I could talk to her while I keep focus on my driving. “How’d it go?” Was the first sentence she’d utter to me, layered in both curiosity mixed with enthusiasm. “Whatever happened to hello, hi, how are you. Whatever happened to formality at least,” I jabbed at her in sarcasm. “I’m doing fine if you care to ask by the way, and-““I don’t care to ask, I care about how it went with Ryan. Has he forgiven you? Did you get him the flowers like we planned? Were you able to take him on the picnic date? What about the movie date? And the lake sight? Where are you? Is he with you?” She bombarded, “Good lord, Donna. Calm the fuck down!” I blew out a tired groan. “Answer my questions!” “Your plan worked, we’re good now. Does tha
Chapter 116Sebastian’s point of view “Now that I’ve learnt all that there is needed to learn from you. How do you wish to die? My reward for you is that you get to pick?” I said to him. After he’s offloaded the secret he couldn’t prioritize over his life. “You could pick a slow painful death, or a quick one. A knife to your throat, or a bullet straight to your hearts. For me to cut off your body parts little by little or inject you with-“ I paused my talking as soon as the idea crossed my head. I glanced over at him, for someone whose death has just been announced, he seems rather indifferent about it. “Aren’t you going to beg for your life? I was planning to reconsider.” I squinted my gaze at him, wary. I could say he has accepted his fate, but wasn’t he desperate to prevent me from torturing him minutes ago. And now he was just ready to die? That’s no fun at all. “You’re a sick man. You and I both know you won’t be letting me out of here alive. So since I get to choose the w
Chapter 115Ryan’s point of view We’ve arrived home, and it looks like our home is where our guest has decided to seek residence. Both Uncle Lewis and Jayce have been settled in different rooms. Selena wanted a room close to my chamber because to her, being closer to me means getting to protect me herself. I’m just glad she’s finally out of the shadow. She’s always had to live by herself for the better part of her growing up, no friends, homeschooled, literally always alone. But finally, she’s been put in a family and a place to belong to. I’m her brother and she’s my sister, I’ve always been and will always be. Since I’ve acquired some alone time, I decided to use it and talk to Seb. To find out what he’s been up to and to know whatever he’s doing at the moment. I had just gotten comfortable on my bed when a knock banged on my door. Annoyance rushed into my expression as I sat up. The door then pushed open before I could authorize the invitation and Vee’s mean face popped into
Chapter 114Ryan’s point of view By the time I arrived back at my uncle’s ward, he’s been packed up and ready to move out of the hospital. That was when it hit me, I haven’t asked about my Aunt Marie since I arrived. Isn’t she also awake? Is anybody even with her? I quietly turned around and made my way over to her own ward which was only few steps away from the room Uncle Jayce was admitted to. To my surprise, her room has been cleared out, not a single of her presence was in sight. Is she gone? Did she check herself out without anybody’s knowledge? I exited the room and went back to my family who were already at the hospital’s lobby, finalizing their check out. The bill has always been handled by me beforehand, so they wouldn’t have to worry about that. When I got to them, I pulled Vee away from my mother so I could ask her about our aunt. “Where is Aunt Marie? Is she gone?” I asked silently, once I’ve pulled us away to a corner. “She’s a mother, Ryan. What do you think she’
Chapter 113Sebastian’s point of view “This is not my first time working for Lewis. Him and I have gone way back, and all he did was have a job for me. He wanted me to find a way to separate you and his nephew, he said however way I can that I simply needed to get the job done. So I thought I’d dig into you and Ryan, this is how I found out that you weren’t exactly who the world thinks you are, and the same with Ryan’s family. You’re a murderer, and Ryan’s family are enablers. Ryan’s sister committed a murder and they helped her get away with it. There was no justice for that innocent man, and that fueled my passion for this job. I purposely decided to operate through the identity of the dead man who was wronged, Matthew Simmons. I thought to myself that I was avenging him. Lewis Growan then suggested to me that whatever threats I was planning to send out to you both should have a little bit of scare or action, something that has the both of realizing that this is not a joke. I had
