On the other side of the paper, he wrote down the name Damon Greyson, and beneath both names, he began to list their personality traits and his feelings toward each of them. Unbidden, his mind wandered back to the moments he had spent with Damon and Chen. The fiery nights filled with passion, the deepening emotions, even the rare glimpses of tenderness they had shown—all of it had once led him to believe he was truly beginning to understand them, especially Damon. But now, an unsettling thought crept into his mind: perhaps all he had ever seen was the version of Damon that Damon wanted him to see. The same could be said for Chen. Everything now seemed like a carefully woven web of lies, designed to pull him deeper with every step.

Even though his relationship with them had become more intimate over time, that intimacy was now clouded by a shadow that was impossible to ignore. Dean felt a weight settle heavily in his chest, as though a massive stone had been placed there, suffocating h

    Damon gave a subtle nod, his expression unchanging. "Yes, I did. For your safety. It's better not to have contact with the outside world right now."Dean’s anger flared hotter, but he bit his tongue, forcing himself to hold back. With a cold, controlled voice, he said, "This is too much, Damon."Damon’s face remained as calm as ever, his tone unwavering. "You didn’t have a phone on the island, did you? Or is it that you think I’m being unreasonable because I didn’t arrange for Chen to come?"Hearing Chen’s name only fueled the fire of his frustration, but Dean knew there was no point in arguing further. Instead, he turned his face away, avoiding Damon’s gaze, though his mind churned with resistance and discontent.In the days that followed, Dean’s irritation grew more intense. Being cut off from the outside world was wearing on him, making him feel trapped and on the verge of breaking down. Damon, perhaps sensing his growing distress, placed an essential oil diffuser in the room. The

    Gradually, Dean realized that he seemed to be trapped in an unsolvable dilemma. He both resisted the feeling of being controlled by desire and yet found himself deeply reliant on the fleeting satisfaction Damon brought him. He couldn’t understand why, as night fell, he became so desperate for Damon’s touch, even to the point where he knew his body couldn’t bear it anymore, yet still found himself unable to break free.Damon’s unwavering responses each night only added to Dean’s confusion. He couldn’t discern whether all of this was driven by Damon’s genuine feelings for him, or if there was something more, something hidden beneath the surface that he couldn’t grasp.It was another morning when Dean dragged his weary body downstairs for breakfast. One hand held the note Damon had left behind, while the other fumbled with the microwave to warm up his meal. Just as he thought he had a moment of peace, his phone screen suddenly lit up, breaking his calm. A strange message appeared—someone

    Dean began to consciously monitor his daily state as time passed, seeking to identify any connection between his physical reactions and the diffuser. During the day, the scent seemed ordinary enough. However, as night fell and the faintly sweet and spicy aroma permeated the air, he undeniably felt an inexplicable heat and yearning rise within his body. This forced him to reconsider Chen's warning. Yet, with only this tenuous clue, it wasn’t enough to confirm anything conclusively. For now, he resolved to remain vigilant, quietly executing his observation plan.In the meantime, a new "routine" emerged in Dean's life: chatting with Chen. However, these exchanges could only occur when Damon was away. Dean would wait patiently for Damon to leave the house, ensuring the coast was clear before using the little tricks Chen had taught him to establish contact. What began as cautious and tentative exchanges gradually became more frequent. Their conversations, though outwardly light-hearted, we

    Damon's gaze sharpened, and he stepped forward until he was standing directly before Dean, towering over him like a predator locking its eyes on prey. "The second party in a contract has no room for choice," he said, his voice cold and unforgiving, as though delivering an unassailable truth.Dean's breath quickened, the weight of the situation crashing down on him. He knew, with a sinking certainty, that he had lost all control in this conversation. It felt as though he were trapped in an invisible cage, with no way to escape, no way to fight back. Every word Damon spoke deepened his sense of despair, and a profound helplessness washed over him—like a man utterly at the mercy of fate, with no hope of altering his course.The tension in the room grew palpable, the air itself seeming to thicken as if it had grown too thin to breathe. Dean could barely draw in a full breath, the weight of the moment pressing down on him. He knew, with a sinking heart, that he was powerless to resist Damo

    Damon’s disbelief was palpable, his eyes narrowing with suspicion and fury. "If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?" he spat, his voice dripping with anger. "These things—there’s no one else who knows about them, except for you and me! Not even the HR department of the Dragon Gang knows! If neither of us said anything, then how the hell does Chen know all the details?"Dean froze, a dull ache spreading through his chest. He looked at Damon, the eyes that once made him feel safe and cherished were now filled with suspicion and coldness. A wave of disappointment crashed over him, threatening to drown him. He had wanted to explain, to defend himself, but the words caught in his throat. It felt as though something was choking him, rendering him silent. Deep inside, he urged himself to stay calm, to not argue any further, but the weight of the suffocating emotions grew heavier and heavier. In the end, he couldn’t hold it in any longer—the pain within him cracked open, piece by piece.

    Chen’s appearance felt like a lifeline amid a storm, and Dean felt a flicker of hope for the first time in a long while. Despite everything he had been through, he couldn’t ignore the sudden sense of possibility that arose within him. He quickly responded; his voice filled with desperation: “Can you help me? I really… I need help.”There was a brief silence on the other end of the call before Chen’s calm voice broke through. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you. From now on, you need to keep important things with you at all times. But stay low and don’t act suspiciously—don’t alert them. I’ll arrange everything as quickly as possible.”The decisiveness in Chen’s voice gave Dean a sense of security he hadn’t felt in ages. It was as if someone finally understood, someone was finally taking his side. The walls around his heart, hardened by fear and isolation, began to crack open just a little more.The next morning, not long after Damon left the house, an eerie silence descended over the villa. F

    Dean suddenly realized that Chen's demeanor at this moment bore an uncanny resemblance to how Damon had once described someone to him. A chill coursed through his heart as unease crept in—Chen, the man before him, seemed to merge with the reckless figure Dean had known in the past, forming a far more complex and dangerous persona.Taking a deep breath, Dean forced himself to stay calm. He needed to find a way out of this power game—a route allowing him to escape with his dignity and life intact. Gathering his thoughts, he proposed an idea that caught Chen slightly off guard. "Chen, what if I help you build your business to rival the Dragon Gang? In return, you let me walk away. How does that sound?"Dean wasn’t bluffing. If he couldn’t stay in the Cobra Gang to do what Dean Harrison excelled at—law—then he would pivot to what Noah Leslie was best at — business. Starting from scratch, he had carved out success before. With the Cobra Gang already having some foundation, he refused to be

    The butler continued; his voice steady yet filled with a sense of reflection. "Damon’s personality was shaped by the loss of his family, by the absence of love and support in his life. In contrast, Chen still had his mother with him. To give Damon’s parents some closure, I took it upon myself to care for him—making sure he had everything he needed, from food to shelter. This responsibility has been mine for over a decade now."Dean could feel the depth of the butler’s devotion and understood the weight of his words. He couldn’t help but admire the man’s unwavering commitment. The butler added, "There was one time when I had a brief contact with the Dankworth family, that Chen invited me to join the Cobra Gang. At the time, there were rumors that the Cobra Gang was trying to seize certain things from the Dragon Gang, both tangible and intangible. I didn’t give those rumors much thought and politely declined."The butler’s gaze seemed distant as he continued, "But then, on a chance pers

    Damon’s eyes instantly filled with panic.Unable to stand still any longer, he rushed toward Dean, and no matter how much Dean struggled, he held onto him tightly. "Dean! Please, listen to me—please, let me explain!""I don’t want to hear it!" Dean fought with every ounce of strength, his voice raw. "I don’t want to hear it! I’m nothing but a disposable pawn in your grand Dragon Gang plan!"Damon’s heart clenched violently. He had never felt so frantic in his life. "Dean, please! Calm down! Just listen to me—"Seizing the moment of Damon’s panic, Dean wrenched himself free from his grip and bolted toward the door of the office.He threw all his strength into yanking the door open, and there, just outside the elevator, he saw Leo standing, looking at him in confusion."Dean?"Dean’s gaze fell on the elevator as the doors slowly slid open. He turned back one last time to look at Damon, his eyes hollow with utter despair.He looked at Leo, his voice trembling. "Leo… If you consider me yo

    He frowned, a sense of unease creeping up on him. It all felt a little too coincidental, like something was off, but he couldn't quite place it.Still, no matter what, he was always used to being alone. Shrugging off the nagging feeling, he let it go for now. Breakfast first.After breakfast, Dean went as usual to sort through the boxes that had been moved from Joe's villa. There were forty boxes in total, and he had already gone through most of them. The remaining ones seemed to hold little importance. Yet, he continued his meticulous search, knowing that even in these seemingly insignificant items, there might be a clue that could shed light on either Sally or Joe.However, today’s search felt different.When his eyes landed on a box in the corner of the room, he furrowed his brow.He had no memory of this box.It appeared older than the others, its surface covered in a thin layer of dust, as though it hadn't been touched in years. Stranger still, when he tried to move it, he found

    Damon’s hand was the first to rest gently on his, his voice tender but tinged with worry. "Are you okay?"Chen gently supported his shoulder, carefully studying his face. "Do you feel any discomfort?"Shawn furrowed his brow, his gaze never leaving him. "Do you need me to call a doctor?"Greg’s expression was more somber than the others, a hint of restlessness in his voice as he sighed. "Why aren't you speaking? Does something hurt again?"Dean blinked, fully realizing that he had indeed returned.The words of the messenger from the afterlife echoed in his mind—he hadn’t been taken advantage of by Joe. Yet, even so, he still needed to hear it from these four, to hear the truth from them before he could truly find peace.He cleared his throat slowly, his voice hoarse. "I... was I... slept with?"The four of them froze almost simultaneously, their expressions varying, yet all betraying a mix of anger and concern.Damon tightened his grip on his hand, looking at him with unwavering deter

    Dean held his breath, barely daring to hear the words that were about to follow.Joe slowly curved his lips into a smile, and with a soft exhale, he uttered two words that sent a chill through the air."Sleep with you."As his words hung in the air, Joe didn’t hesitate for a moment. He leaned down, capturing Dean’s lips with an intensity that left no room for escape.Joe’s kiss was ruthless and commanding, carrying the unmistakable weight of someone who expected complete control, without the slightest trace of tenderness. Dean tried to pull away, but he couldn’t even summon the strength to turn his head. The pressure from Joe’s presence was overwhelming. He fought desperately, but the lingering numbness from the shock earlier still gripped his body, leaving his limbs unresponsive. Every attempt at resistance only felt more futile than the last.Joe clearly showed no concern for Dean’s resistance; if anything, he seemed to take pleasure in the desperation of his prey. With one hand, he

    Dean’s face drained of color in an instant, his pupils narrowing slightly. “What?” he breathed, his voice barely a whisper.Sally shrugged casually as if discussing something insignificant. “It was me who told everyone you were an easy target, which is why they liked bullying you.”It was as though the very foundation of Dean’s world crumbled at that moment.He stared at Sally, his eyes wide with shock, anger, and disbelief. He never could have imagined that the painful memories from his childhood and adolescence, the ones that haunted him, had all come from the very sister he had trusted most.He opened his mouth, but the words were trapped in his throat as if his very vocal cords had been scorched by fire. “Why…?”Sally’s laugh was sharp, dripping with sarcasm. “Why do you look so shocked? Fine, let me tell you,” she said with a lazy smile.She narrowed her eyes slightly, a malicious curve to her lips. “I did it all to make you angry, to push you into cutting ties with me.”Dean’s f

    Joe strolled toward him at a leisurely pace, a knowing smile playing at the corner of his lips. With eerie ease, he scooped Dean off the ground as though lifting a helpless kitten, the motion so smooth it sent a chill down Dean’s spine."Be good," Joe murmured, his voice soft and almost playful as he gently placed Dean back on the bed.Then, standing before Sally, Joe lowered his head and pressed a kiss to her cheek, a smug look spreading across his face. "See, I told you, your plan isn’t going to work."Sally didn’t say a word. She just coldly watched Dean on the bed, her gaze unreadable, emotions flickering behind her eyes like a storm waiting to break.Joe bent down, his fingers curling around Dean's chin, forcing him to look up and meet his eyes.There was something possessive in his gaze—mocking, assessing, even tinged with a dark, almost malicious amusement."Your little brother, huh? He's a lot sharper than you think," Joe remarked, his voice lazy, a playful hint of admiration

    The air in the room grew thick with emotion, the weight of years apart pressing down on them in silence.For a long while, neither of them spoke.Finally, Dean broke the quiet, his voice carrying a tangle of emotions.“Sis… your face…”Sally loosened her hold on him and gave a small smile. “I had an accident. It left me scarred, so… I no longer look the same.”Dean fell silent.A flicker of pain crossed his gaze.Memories crashed over him—the fights, the reckless words, the way they parted on bitter terms… the way they had cut ties completely.For years, he had convinced himself she wanted nothing to do with him, that she had disappeared from his life for good.But now—she was here.Alive.The realization came with a wave of overwhelming guilt.He lowered his head, his throat tightening. His voice was hoarse when he finally spoke.“Sis, I’m sorry.”Sally’s eyes widened slightly. Then, with a soft chuckle, she reached out and ruffled his hair, just like she used to when they were kids.

    Bang!Greg slammed his palm against the wall, caging Dean in with a forceful wall bang.Before Dean could even react, a searing heat crashed against his lips—Greg kissed him.Unlike Damon’s tenderness, Chen’s aggression, or Shawn’s untamed wildness, Greg’s kiss was something else entirely. It was possessive, dangerous, and completely unchecked in its intensity.His hand cupped the back of Dean’s neck, his tongue forcefully prying his lips apart, devouring him with unrelenting dominance. It wasn’t just a kiss but a claim, as if he was trying to erase every other mark left on Dean’s body.Dean’s eyes widened in shock, his entire body burning with humiliation. He wanted to die on the spot.Panicked, he instinctively raised his hands to push Greg away, but the man showed no intention of letting go. If anything, he deepened the kiss, pressing even closer—And then, suddenly—He was yanked away.Damon, Chen, and Shawn had had enough. Without hesitation, they ripped Greg off of Dean and, be

    Dean’s breath caught in his throat, his heart pounding wildly, uncontrollably.Chen let out a low laugh, releasing him, and with a swift, practiced movement, his long fingers tugged at Dean’s collar, leaving a deep kiss mark on his left shoulder.Then, Chen planted several more marks on Dean's collarbone.His actions carried an unmistakable sense of possession as if declaring his claim most intimately.Once he was done, Chen straightened up, admiring the marks he had left, a dangerous smile curling at the corner of his lips.“Alright, for now, this will do.”Chen gently pinched Dean’s chin, his voice low but firm. "But remember, you're mine."Only after that did he release him, turning to walk out of the bathroom.Dean stood frozen, his legs barely holding him up.He took a deep breath, raising a hand to cover his flushed face, his heart racing so fast it felt like it might explode.His gaze fell on his reflection in the mirror—his lips swollen and red from the kiss, the visible marks
