Jack dusted off his shirt clean panting as the man was seen seated on the main chair as he casually wiped blood off his dagger. He threw a nonchalant gaze at the corpse lying next to him on the floor whom he had just killed by stabbing it right through his side neck. The man was none other than another Mafia leader who had been meddling with his business lately; even though Rayn and Jack were here to 'peace' talk and negotiate with him the gangter, after getting some powers, became too arrogant to be disciplined. Since he was being disobedient and kept on challenging Ryan the young man didn’t hesitate to take his life and show him why he was the king and not him.
Ryan was the youngest heir to take over the family business, he did it when he was just 19 when he took his father’s place after the man got bed ridden after a gang clash. Big Master Neguyen’s subordinates at first doubted his judgement and were opposite to Ryan reign as he was still young, some eve

When Little Bee heard that he wanted to talk to her she wanted to go hide somewhere; she had yet not recovered from the shock which was given to her last night and she was sure it won't be good if she talked to him now. How was she supposed to avoid him now, he was connected on the phone. The banging on the door intensified and she sunk deeper into her blanket. She hid under the bed and closed her eyes; yes she can just pretend to sleep. The maid knocked on the door a few more times before getting restless and pushing the door open slowly to check on her. The girl seemed to be sound asleep, draped tenderly by the blanket she looked to be dead sleep. Now she had no idea what to do so she ran down and reported that Bee was fast asleep. Ryan felt as something was not right, he inquired, "Is she sick?" The maid remembered how Bee was when she met her in the morning, her face was dull with her eye bags showing up. She looked worn out and visibly lacked energy; she forgot
Ryan stopped on his tracks as her words fell; he stood there watching the girl picking up the paper planes and retreating to her bed. Sitting on it she took the comic book which was left open and started reading it, totally disregarding Ryan and his presence. A bad feeling stirried within him as he asked, "Aren't you sick?" The girl nodded a no and immersed herself deeper into the book.The man stood goofily on his spot watching her behave stranger than usual, didn't she say she would be happy if he came back earlier then why was her reaction totally different to the one he had imagined. Ryan was sure that something was quite not right but how was he supposed to find out. He asked, "Is something wrong?"Bee didn't bother to look up at him, she was feeling empty and wanted to send somewhere empty. She still needed time to repair herself and was not at all willing to have any kind of interaction with him in the meanwhile. She kept the book aside and fell back on bed, pulling
She looked at him and intoned, “I... I know about her. You don’t have to pretend as if you are caring for me and give me false hopes.” Ryan felt as if thunder clapped down on him; he was already having blues if he ever heard anyone mention about her. Let alone now when Bee, the girl who was as important to him as her, was pushing him away because of her. His chest started to tighten as he let go of her and sat blankly, without knowing what to do.The room fell as silent as a graveyard; the only sound which frequented was the fan spinning above them and Bee who was hiccupping every now and then. He spoke up, “No... It’s not what you think... I...”“Cathey loves Ryan... It was a really beautiful drawing.” Bee spoke up, cutting through his words. This statement was enough for him to understand that she had seen everything he treasured in his room. Like a thief who was caught red handed Ryan couldn’t say anything for hi
Jack and Bee sat down on the bench by the window, the sun was close to setting and the whole forest was dusted with the golden sunlight. The evening breeze swept away Bee's messy hairs as she sat across the assistant, anticipating for what he had to say. Clouds of nostalgia highlighted Jack's professional features; it was Bee's first time seeing him portraying something else than his usual coldness.Jack and Ryan were both stunning people, it was just that Ryan possessed a demonic charm and aura while Jack looked more of a workaholic. If both were made to stand for an auction together, most women would go for Ryan as that man looked dangerous but was naturally more charming. It was the halo that distinguishes men from each other and the aristocratic one that the Boss had was one that was rare to be found.The man looked outside the window, gazing at the never ending beauty of life. He started, "Me, Ryan and Catherine were childhood friends; we got to know each other as our
Ryan was squashed beneath the chair but he was strong enough to survive the crash without getting injured; he creaked before feeling someone helping him stand up. Jack held up the boy and started checking him for injuries, “Bro, are you okay. Are you hurt anywhere?”The survivor stumbled on his feet; his head was dizzy because of the impact. It took him few seconds to stabilize himself and mumble, “Fine...” The two lads were so consumed in checking each other that the two didn’t notice a little frail figure in white gown reaching out to timidly pull the corner of Ryan’s shirt.Feeling something disturbing him the boy dropped his eye down just to get himself stunned; it was a little girl much shorter than him. She had a round face with clear skin, her eyes were big and round with long curly eye lashes. A tiny nose and quivering pink lips like newly bloomed cherry blossom complimented her angelic face. Her hairs were long and were left
"What is your name?" Catherine's question rang in the room in her yet to ripe childish voice. Her star like eyes stared merrily at her two guests; Jack threw the candy wrapper on the bin nearby before quenching her curiosity, "I am Jack and this is Ryan."The girl replied, "Nice to meet you, big brothers."Ryan was a born introvert and didn't like interacting much, even though he was curious about this young girl who was sending tingles down his heart he chose to stay mum and scan her with his watchful gaze. While he was silent Jack couldn't hold back himself from talking to this sweet kid; it didn't take long before he started throwing questions at her."How old are you, little one."Catherine showed him her chubby palm with five fingers. Jack laughed, "You are really a kid..." She was just a five year old yet had more manners than many adults he knew. The boy couldn't help but adore her; since he was young he always wanted a baby sister but whenever he
His words were solemn and sounded serious as if he was making a sincere promise to her. The girl was still childish, she looked up at him with her worn out depressed eyes and showed him her pinky finger, "Do you pinky promise?"Ryan couldn't help but get his straight lips curl up into a smile, he hooked his pinky pinger with her before making his promise to her.This was illogical, as a grown up boy he never believed on this childish rituals and pinky promises but seeing that this filled the girl with rays of hope and happines he gladly put up with it.the tension between his furrowed eyebrows and the room started to ease out as the girl's sound of chuckling resounded in the room.Ryan got up and two boys left after saying goodbye to the little girl who even came down with Miss Lala to escort them out.Inside the car Ryan had his eyes hooked on the girl untill his car moved out making her disappear from his sight. Jack said, "She is a really good girl, isn
The lonely bungalow was echoing with the joyful laughter of the kids, especially the little girl who never had many visitors coming by. The Little initiative the two boys took really meant a lot to the girl. The three played in the mini playground that was specially made for her in the garden all day long. The Little girl was awfully cheerful today, she tugged onto Ryan's hands and kept on running here and there trying all the swings with him that she had been playing with all these years alone. While Jack and Ryan managed to go and pull stunts with the swings as they were professionally trained Catherine, with her small frail body, would fall clumsily while trying to keep up with them. Seeing her hurting herself when chasing them Ryan gave up in his play and accompanied her for the rest of the day. The du
To my dearest readers,Since I am in college and is living in a hostel it is getting really difficult for me to write. There is no proper electricity, no laptop or computer to write or proper internet to upload the chapter (even now I am uploading it using paid internet who's hourly rate is no less than any gold.)Since I don't want to hang the readers I am going to summarize the rest of the novel in this one chapter. If I am able to in future I will write the expanded form. Please forgive me for this, I… really am helpless right now.________________________________Previous-Ryan and Catherine go on a date and after a day of hustle he takes her to her father's office where they first met. He, to surpris
Standing on the first floor by the stairs was her small frail figure dressed in knee length denim skirt and a white off shoulder top. She completed her look with white sneakers and a French hat sitting above her beautiful wavey hairs. She chose pearl earrings and a simple necklace to compliment her beauty!She wasn't white like him but rather had an olive tone; in that outfit she looked young and chaste- like a flower yet to be seen or touched by mankind. She never dresses up like this, maybe she put efforts on her look keeping in mind that they were going on an official date. Ryan's heart skipped a few beats when she tucked her locks behind her ears and smiled at him shyly.She walked down the stairs and stood in front of him; Ryan, though never lost his cool, was getting his hands soaked in swear as she inches closer. He stood up and observed her charm, how can someone not fall in love with her- she was literally an angel in disguise. "Happy Valentine's day, gorgeous
Ryan kept mum for a while; his temper which was already in tempest hit its limit when she wasn't getting his actions and wasn't reacting in the way he wanted her to act. Afraid that he would embarrass himself more he decided t give up on it for now. "Nevermind!" He spat and turned away without even waiting for her to react."I- Ok." Catherine, who was well aware of how his mood worked, decided to let it go. He had never yelled out at her, not in the past long years was once when he talked to her with the slightest irritation in his tone but she had seen how scary he could get when he was not in the right mind.The two were about to reach school, while she was playing with the bouquet he gave her Ryan was deep in thoughts. Everything he heard from Jack, the times when he warned her admirers to stay away and random compliments he heard about her were echoing as a cacophony in his ears.When the car finally stopped he stepped out of the car absent-minded; he looked
Jack adjusted his position and turned towards his friend to explain, "Ryan, the whole school knows you like her but does she know about it?" Ryan fell silent processing his words while the latter continued, "This all flirting and asking out is happening because no matter who likes her she is still single at the end of the day!""She isn't your woman, she is your crush! None of this will stop, no amount of beating will hold people back from eyeing her because... She isn't officially dating anyone. You get that?"Ryan processed his thoughts and nodded, Jack's words made sense to him but he didn't know what he was implying. He asked, "So... What should I do?"Jack's eyes curled up as he said, "You need to make her yours officially!""Official?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, "She is still a kid, this is not the right time." Ryan turned down Jack's idea. She was only 12 and in his opinion not prepared for dating and commitments. He wanted to wait till she was 18 and
Time flew past and the two weren't kids anymore, one was seventeen while the other was twelve already. Many things changed, the way they looked and the way they were addressed in society but what didn't change was the way they treated each other.Six years later in the same school premises, a guy went crashing against the wall while his classmate stood dumbstruck, too afraid to do or say anything. The boy who was sent crashing went numb with pain as he shot a fearful glance at the one who did this to him... Ryan, in the school uniform but without his jacket stood there correcting a black band in his hands. Even though his face was calm and collected one could easily see the anger dancing on his face, he grabbed the latter's collar and pulled him up in the air. With his handsome face just a few inches away from his Ryan spoke out, "You must have some guts to flirt with the woman I love."The students who were witnessing the fight heard what Ryan just said and started to
Since the time Catherine was taken to her class and Ryan to his own the boy kept on wondering if she was doing ok there. He was so worried that he couldn't even concentrate in class, if not for his homeschool lessons which were too advanced the the one he was learning in class he could have been punished for not answering the questions the teacher threw at him.When a short break was given to them Ryan dashed across the corridors to her class to make sure she was okay. When he entered in he found he missing from her seat, he looked tensed at Jack and asked where she was. The two boys went inside the class to find Catherine standing at a corner hugging a single notebook."Ryan!" Her saddened face brightened up as soon as she saw those two similar faces. She ran and hugged his legs. Ryan knealt down to match her height and asked, "What is it, why are you here alone? And where are your stuffs."Her grip on the book tightened as she confessed slowly, "They took away
Around fifteen minutes later, the door of the principal's chamber flew open. Ryan stood up from his seat seeing Catherine walk out happily, "Ryan, I got accepted." The boy chuckled, "Of course, you did. Who would not take in my little Cathey."Jack looked around and asked the housekeeper, "If it's all done we can go for shopping.""No, I have a little work." Ryan stood upstriaght, he looked down at Catheine and said, "Wait for me, ok?" He entered straight into the principal's chamber leaving behind a confused Jack and housekeeper. The woman asked, "What happened to Young Master?" Jack shrugged and sat back on his seat, no one would know what he was cooking in his mind utill he produced the reuslts.A few minutes later Ryan came out with two pamplets in his hands, he looked at the gang who was waiting for him and said, "Let's go.""What were you doing inside?" Jack inquired and then his eyes fell on the two papers he held in his hand. Pointing at those he
After the account was made he saved his number in her phone and started teaching her. He showed her the interface and explained everything to her. "If you miss me and want to see me all you will have to open the app like this, can you see my name and photo here... Yes, that is. You click on it and tap this video recording button. You see this one... Yes! Click on it and wait for me to answer." Catherine listened to everything he said and nodded that she understood it all but a little unsure Ryan got her drawing book and drew the steps to video call. He gave the tablet to her, even though it was bigger than her hands she still held it firmly. He took out his phone and got up, "I am going out, follow the steps how I taught you and call me." She nodded an okay and watched him leave; after Ryan disappeared she opened the tablet and followed the instructions. The call was successfully placed. Outside at the garden Ryan saw his phone ringing, he looked at t
The next day, Jack came to fetch Ryan with the chauffeur. Seeing that his car has pulled up Ryan looked at the girl who was sleeping beside him. She still had his hands clasped; he smiled before slowly removing his hands from her grasp. He made sure that she was sleeping before locking the door behind him and descending down. It was still early in the morning but the housekeeper was up and welcoming Jack insdie. Seeing that Ryan too had came out she greeted him; Ryan nodded in acknowledgement. When he was asked what the two boys would want to have for the breakfast he replied plainly that he won't stick around for meal and would leave once Catherine woke up. "Hey, buddy." Jack jumped off the car, Ryan asked, "Did you get what you were telling me about last night?" Jack nodded positively before pulling out a gift wrapped box from his seat. He handed it to Ryan and reported, "I did my fair share of re search of in it. Couples who are in lo
