Henry's POV.Henry watched as his sister splashed Jake with the bucket of cold water.He ground his teeth hard.Waiting for Jake's eyes to meet his.From the moment he was pulled out of the middle of the river, he had dreamt of this day.Jake's eyes finally opened, and he watched with delight as his dazed gaze turned into horror.First looking around, then looking at Henrietta standing beside him, then finding him at the opposite end of the basement.Jake pushed against the chair he had been tied to. “How are you alive?” He asked, his voice quivering.A smirk tugged at Henry's lips,he motioned to the man who stood beside him to get his wheelchair rolling.“Surprised?” Henry glared into his eyes as he spoke.Jake dropped his neck, avoiding his gaze.Henry scoffed, “This is no time to look away, come on, stare at the wreckage you made” he rolled himself close.“Look at me” he ordered, his voice roaring with the rage brewing inside him.Jake slowly brought his head up, and a hysterical s

Chapter 20…payback 2

Ray's POV.The door clicked Open before the heavy hammer fell on the doorknob.Ray walked in, followed by Ray and another man with a hammer.Henry's sister and her puppet of a boyfriend stood behind Jake, the puppet looking like he was about to shit himself.His eyes trailed down to Jake, his teeth grinding roughly.He felt his blood boil in his veins as he made his way to the flushed-faced Jake.“Why” he asked, his voice roaring.Jake shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the puppet, cowered down.Ray's hand wrapped around Jake's neck, squeezing it tight.Jake coughed hard.His eyes tearing up, please, he mumbled.Ray withdrew his hand.Pace around the basement as if to fan down his strained muscles.“I didn't want to believe it, when the P. I Told me, when I saw the news” he stopped in front of Jake.“Don't make me ask again” he paused.Jake coughed, “I found out why you divorced me” he coughed again, “that's why”A hysterical laugh echoed across the room, “You must have done your find

Chapter 21…Old wounds.

Ray's POV The trees and buildings by the roadside blurred as Ray sped through.His eyes lasering on the road; his expression still cold, but inside, his stomach twisted.“Susan” he muttered again, This was the seventh time he had said the name since the call from Frank.His foot pressed down on the accelerator of the car again.True, he wasn't supposed to be at the office, he wasn't supposed to be seen outside yet, but he had to see if what he thought was true, even if it meant racing to the collapse of his ruin, no Jake's ruin.His teeth ground at the thought of Jake.His car engine roared to a stop at his usual parking spot. In long strides, he walked into the company.His eyes lasering ahead towards Frank's office.“Good morning, sir” He heard his staff greet in a bow but his speed and focus were too far away to pay them any mind.“Where's she?” He pushed open the door, making straight for Frank's table.“Sir…” Frank made to speak but Susan cut in, “Big brother?” She stood from t

Chapter 22. Obsession

Henry's POV.He watched the boy around his age tremble as he ran out of Ray's room, his clothes pressed against his groin.Henry's teeth ground.“Coward” he spat out.Rolling himself into Ray's room with the intercom.As Ray spoke into the phone, Henry's eyes scanned around, lingering on Ray's cum on the floor.He bit down on his lips, as he imagined himself talking in all of Ray's juice.The wiggling of the car key in Ray's hands brought him back to the present.“Sir, you're not supposed to leave the house” he called out but Ray was already out of the house by the time he finished the sentence.“Who was this Susan that made his Ray rush out?” He muttered.Wheeling himself out of the bedroom down to the basement.The door was slightly open so it couldn't have been considered as eavesdropping but he was sure he heard his sister's voice and her boyfriend's, then Jake's.“Andrew will untie you now and then you'll escape on your own” Henrietta's voice, slipped into his ears through the cr

Chapter 23-rough edges

Ray's POV“Release her,” Ray ordered. His voice cold.He watched as the man in whose hand Susan was clasped stiffened, his arm lowering, bringing Susan's feet down to the marble floor..“Follow me” he ordered, turning towards the stairs and covering the steps in long strides.Susan turned to the men, sticking her tongue out at them before trailing behind Ray.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Ray queried, his neck lined by a vein as his voice strained.Susan let her eyes fall to the polished marble stones.“I want to stay wherever you are, that's why I snuck back into the car”Ray's gaze lingered on her, how could he have forgotten how stubborn she was?His expression remained cold as he stared down at her.“Stay in here,till I'm back” he blurted and made for the door.Henry and his annoying creaking wheelchair planted themselves in front of Ray's door.“What are you doing here?” Ray asked, his eyes darkening.Henry let out the shy boyish smile that always made Ray want to knock off

Chapter 24… Broken glasses

Ray's POV.Ray's face flushed for a split second before stiffening.His teeth ground hard.“I'm really sorry” Susan searched his eyes again.“How old are you?” he asked out of the blue.She hesitated."Answer me" he roared “Seventeen” she stuttered.He let out a dry chuckle, “I'm not in for your games today,”He turned towards the door again.“I swear on my life” Ray paused, “I swear on my mother's life” she continued.“Stop” Ray ordered, veins popping out of his neck like they did whenever he was angry.“I sent you to study and this is what I get” he roared.“I'm disappointed in you” he spat out.Susan buried her head in her palms. She sniffled.“I'm sorry brother” she begged."I don't want to hear another word from you" He walked back where she sat, her eyes his starry.His gaze lingered before he dropped down on the bed, “Who's responsible?”Susan shook her head, “he doesn't want to have anything to do with the child”“Coward” Ray spat out.A beat of silence followed, tainted by

Chapter 25- seasons

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.Henry wasn't part of his problem right, he understood his bitterness anyway.“You should have let me use the love portion on Ray when I had to” Henry continued.The sound of his shot gun corking, echoed through the room.Jake scoffed, finally raising his eyes to meet Henry.“Here I was thinking it was poison… you really are more stupid than I thought”.Henry's face turned red and flushed.“I will kill you” Henry swore, screwing in the silencer into the gun.Jake glared back at him, “You really think killing me will get Ray to love yo

Chapter 26- lurking in the shadows.

Ray's POV “What the fuck” Ray cursed, still clasping Susan in his hands. There were only two people who had the key to the basement. “Henry forgot to lock me in,” Jake blurted. Ray's eyes trailed across his body, taking in his sunken eyes, his rough hair, the bruises on his feet, and then back to his eyes. He traced Jake's gaze to the flapping legs and hands of the girl over his shoulder. Ray turned, turning the key in the door lock and extracting it. He brushed past Jake and repeated the same process for his room. His side eyes caught Jake's arched brows. He turned and saw a guard carrying a basket of food, “Come,” he beckoned. The guard, looked up and bee-lined towards Ray and Jake immediately with his basket of food. Ray slowly placed Susan on the marble floor, as if he was scared her feet could crack on the stone. “Give me a minute,” he cooed. His voice was soft but his eyes said otherwise, darkening with his face expressionless. “Sir you sent for me” the

Chapter 27: Prices, sacrifices.

Jake's POV.“If I say jump, you'd better ask me how high” the guard ordered, his hands massaging his blood-clustered swollen cheek.Jake saw the rage in his eyes, he swallowed, his eyes trailing across the carved muscles of the large-chested, man before him.“Sorry,” he muttered. Mostly because there was a nagging feeling in his chest that made him feel responsible for the man's pain.The soldier hissed, “That's your room” he pointed to the room behind Jake.Jake nodded and turned towards the door of his new cage, his ears tingling as the soldier's receding steps filled the air.His eyes traced the walls to the room collections, with dwindling bulbs hanging on the ceiling and flickering lights barely illuminating the space.His room was, he paused and counted, the fifth and last room on the right corner.He walked into his room, eyes lingering on the student-sized spring bed on the side.He had once seen Enzo's room back when he was still in the military and this room gave him an inst

Chapter 28- Control Mirage

Henry's POV.One of the soldiers scanned the cast on Henry's leg, “I'll come back for the wheelchair”The guard turned towards a pair of wooden planks resting on the wall of the room, “Use these clutches for now”Henry nodded.The soldier walked out, leaving the Henry staring at the closed door behind him.His eyes traced the corner of his room, smaller than Ray's room but the biggest amongst the rest.He bit down on his lips, adjusting on the leather couch at the center of his room.His eyes sliding shut.Ray pushed open his door and strode in like he owned the room.“You have been a bad boy” Ray called out.A smirk played on Henry's lips, “Yes, Daddy, punish me”Ray's fingers brushed Henry's chin, his thumb rubbing against Henry's lips.Slowly, the thumb slipped into Henry's mouth and his tongue wrapped around it, sucking hard.Ray pulled his thumb out, wet.Henry's Adam's Apple throbed, he knew Ray could see the hunger in his eyes.Ray nudged at his lips again, this time leaning in
