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 70Ryan’s point of view I went into the house, and there he was. His beauty stressed, but still radiant. His gaze lingered on me for too long, just like mine captured his essence as I strolled over to where he stood. I’ve missed him, there’s no denying that. I’ve missed his grumpy handsome face, his stoic aura, and every little details about him.As soon as our face came together up close, I leaned forward with my eyes concealed, and soon the soft feel of his lips touched mine. He opened up, not restrictive as he usually is. He allowed the contact of our lips danced into something warmer and passionate. I pulled into the kiss, the whole of my system filled with sparks. My arms circled around him, my left rolled low and beside his wait, and my right hand guarded the movement of his head with a gentle grip on his nape. “Uhm….. hello, I’m still here and would very much like you both to get a room?!” Startled, I was forced away from the kiss as my head tilted to the side so
Chapter 69 Sebastian’s point of view Xavier Rodriguez. The man who wouldn’t stop pining for a friendship or a semblance of sort with me. He’s given me more calls than I wish to receive in a day, and countless texts that made me consider silencing my notifications. I don’t know what he wants, or care about it. All I know is that this relentless effort of his to achieve a bond between the both of us would never yield anything positive. Not after I heard about what he did to Ryan. For someone capable of such, it’s abominable to kind of have him around myself. Hypocritical, but I’m aware of the kind of person I am. Xavier still thinks he’s a good guy, and might be a good friend when he wouldn’t be. You grew an obsession with me that made you put three innocent lives into coma, spread lies to destroy strong and genuine friendships. Yeah he’s far from being the good guy, the sooner he realizes that the better it is for him. I’m sure he must be disturbing Donna to secure an appoi
Chapter 68 Ryan’s point of view My grandfather is dead. My mother has decided to remain in hiding, and I finally have an unknown threat after my peace of mind. Matthew Simmons. Who could he be? What could he want? Is he even an he? What did I do to him? My grandfather has been moved to the morgue, there he will be long enough for me to send word throughout the family and we can plan his burial. I on the other hand couldn’t help the cloudy mood that sucked me in after this incident. I’ve had a feeling for a while, I just didn’t expect the feeling to result in the loss of my grandfather. He was dead because of me. He was in that hospital because of me. I was the one who called for him to come here, none of this would have happened if I hadn’t wanted him to come in the first place. Xavier was able to hurt them upon their arrival, and now whoever this Matthew Simmons is took one of them away from me due to the vegetative state they’ve been stuck in. Or is it possible that
Chapter 67 Sebastian’s point of view Stay away from Ryan McCall Growan. My best friend for a decade and more. I’m tasked to stay away from him, with a threat as motivation. No. A gift actually. Whoever this Matthew Simmons was didn’t just make a threat, they blew up a branch of mine that left people dead. Those people died under a stunt pulled against Sebastian Torres. I’m seated in my office staring at the screen of my phone, eyes locked at the message received from the anonymous sender. I could track down who the sender was, but it’d just be another dead-end hold on my target. When would this coward show his or her face? Start to fight more physically. Is this all because of Ryan’s return to my life? Because I let him back in and chose to forgave him? Cause I’ve never dealt with anything like this. My enemies are usually in sight, physically identified for me to aim at and destroy it. They’ve never been one to throw stones at me from the shadow. I need to find this pe
Chapter 66Ryan’s point of view I could no longer return the day I planned to, not after the attempted murder incident. Marcy was traumatized, a sight forced me to stay back, care for her like the amazing husband that I am and cancel my plan to return home or postponed it. I chose the later, postponed it till the next day instead. The next day came quicker than I anticipated, and I was quick to get back on plane flown to LA. Marcy didn’t bother to escort me this time, still conscious of yesterday’s incident. For the rest of yesterday, I couldn’t get through to Seb or Donna either, for both of them to not have reached out or answered when I called them. I have a feeling there’s something going on over there. My mother was still notably absent, and refused to let me know on whether or not she’s okay and doing good wherever she’s gone to hide. I wonder if she’s in contact with Vivian. Vee, I’m sure she’s back to scheming now that Seb has caught up to her lies. Even if mom isn’t in c
Chapter 65Sebastian’s point of view I already had men on Vivian’s trail, keeping track of her every moves just in case she’d make any that confirms my suspicions about her. Today was however, another day for me to tackle with the bald fuckers on my board committee. Those fuckers are always up to something, but the fear they all have for me is what keeping them all in check. That fear won’t last long, I need to constantly remind them why none of my enemies have ever triumphed. Not now, not never, and not in the nearest future. Donna came in early as usual to prep me up on why the board has requested a meeting. It has to do with the recent rumors of me and Ryan, and how the headlines might affect the growth of their invest. “Seriously they’re just old drunks, don’t mind whatever they have to say. You do you, and remind them who the boss is,” Donna said after she was done going over the few hiccups we’ve been dealing with over the weeks. Other than the alliances I’ve struck with t
