《Reckoning after The Divide 》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

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

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

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

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

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,
