Chapter 29- complexities

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

Chapter 30…first day on the throne

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

Chapter 31- re-emerged enemy

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

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

Chapter 33- before falls.

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

Chapter 34-eastside wind

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

Chapter 35: tit for tat.

Ray's POV.His hands steadied the knocked-out kid.His eyes scanned the pitch as he hauled Lucas into the backseat of his taxi.A bell rang in the distance, and students in sports wear appeared almost everywhere, all headed towards the pitch.Ray shut the door and went around the car to the driver's seat.The engine roared to a start and Ray zoomed to the school gate.“Who's that at the back?” One of the gate security guards asked, his eyes scanning into the car at the back.Ray glanced back, and Lucas lay curled up on the leather seat with his face turned away.Ray's lips blew a raspberry. “Heartbreak saga…he said he needs some air,” he said.The security man scoffed, “Very typical” he turned to Ray, “You can…” he paused.Lucas grunted, Ray's grip on the steering wheel tightened, “Can I go now?” He asked.The security man's eyes lingered on Ray, “I think I know you from somewhere” he chuckled, “nah, you look a lot like a tech founder I know but” he scoffed.The back seat leather scru

Chapter 36- tit for tat.

Ricky's POV.Ricky's finger trailed down from the stripper's lips to his budge.The thin fabric over the stripper's clutch barely covered his hard-on.He had spotted him dancing on the pole about 5 minutes ago and paid for him to be sent to his private chamber at the club.“Get on your knees” Ricky ordered, his breath landing hot on the toned-skinned stripper.He obeyed, dropping to his knees with his eyes directly lasered on Ricky's clutch area and his breath landing hot on the surface of Ricky's pants, sending a burning sensation through his spine.The stripper's tongue traced the contours of Ricky's bulge as his hands fiddled with his belt.Ricky let out a growl.His hands combed through the stripper's hair and clutched it tightly.“You are a naughty boy” Ricky purred.His pants spooled on the floor and his dick sprang out bedded with precum.He watched as the stripper's eyes widened, his mouth dropped almost drooling.A wicked smile played on Rick's lips,“I'll fuck your face hard”

Chapter 37- Joy Before Sunset.

Jake's POVRay leaned lazily on the door frame, with dark circles under his eyes as he peeped into the room.“You look tired” Jake said, trying to mask the concern in his voice, “not that I care”Ray’s face was expressionless.“Get up, we are leaving”Jake's forehead creased, “You can't just order me around, I'm not your child”Ray chuckled drily, “I'll drag you if I have to, don't taunt me”Something in Jake's stomach twisted.The last few days he had spent on the hospital freaking bed gave him enough time to think.“What are we?” Jake blurted.Ray's brow arched.“Really, I want to know” he paused and swallowed the lump in his chest, the last bit of his self-respect.“You think you can just have me anytime you want and order me around like I'm some….”“Whore” Ray interjected, “some lowlife whore, that's all you are to me”Jake's stomach rumbled, and his chest suddenly felt heavy.A pang of tears formed on the corner of his eyes, “ok” the words choked in his throat.Ray blinked hard,

Chapter 38- Piling up hate

Jake POV“How long till we're there?” Jake asked clutching onto the motorbiker's leather jacket and his breath.The guy was insanely above the speed limit, but nobody else seemed to care, except Jake and his bike helmet.“Soon” the driver muttered.In 45 minutes Jake was standing in what felt like a lair.Only this time the lair was filled with men weighing, testing, and packaging drugs.Jake's stomach twisted as the stench of weed and cocaine wafted into his nostrils.“Hello brother,” Enzo called out as he walked into the room.Jake let out a forced grin as Enzo launched him into an embrace.“Welcome,” Enzo exclaimed.Jake's brow knotted. Something didn't feel right “Enzo, what about Matt”Enzo pulled away from the embrace and turned back in the direction he came.Jake followed.“He didn't make it,” Enzo responded finally, clutching the glass of whiskey he had just poured himself from a half-empty bottle in a room Jake later found out was his.Jake's fingers ran through his hair.Enz
