The friends had joined in the bar, especially in the private room. Eryx was going to reveal the big secret today, definitely it was gonna have a negative impact on the duo. The drinks were served. "Today, it's my treat." Eryx raised his glass, smiling warmly. Revilla eyed him Weirdly, having doubts that he was gonna do something crazy if he acted all simple and calm. "Do you have anything to confess, Eryx?" Revilla felt relieved hearing Alex's question, he asked what was on her mind. "Maybe!" Eryx gulped down the drink in one go, coughing hardly. "We are all ears, baby." Revilla vocalised, caressing his back, gently. With the liquor slid down to his throat, a small courage peeked out, voluntarily. "I thought of quitting my job. And going to join my dad's company." Alex spritzed the beer, hearing the shocking news. "Are you for real? You are going to quit. But why? You came to this field because you liked it. Did your father threaten you or something?" He showered him with questio
"So, I've something to confess here too." Adler spoke, getting the attention of the friends. His hands tangled with Franklyn, making him panic. He was not going to reveal, right. Franklyn gazed at Adler and then others. "Me and Franklyn are officially dating." Surely, he planned this. Franklyn facepalmed internally, gazing at Arthur who stood in the corner.Arthur's jaw clenched visibly, eyes holding pain. But he didn't show much of his emotions, meanwhile no one gave him attention, a mere bodyguard after all."Finally, gosh. You guys took almost a decade to confess, oh my!" Revilla dramatically fanned her hand, Braylon eyed them knowingly."Another couple added in the gang. That's awesome." Alex squealed. The remaining hours went with drinks and karaoke. They got wasted in simple words. Arthur walked out to vent his emotions for a while, it was hard for him to hide those things. He felt like a human when he experienced the love but what to say, everything crumbled.Franklyn looked
"Alright, listen up, everyone," Arthur began, his voice firm and commanding. "We've been watching these cult people for two weeks now, and it's time we take action. Our precise plan is to take them down without leaving any trace, Illegally to be exact."The gang had gathered at the spot which was located out of the city, the radius of where they could execute their plan on the cult people. They had been watching the cult and this time they were going to take them down, no delay. It was the order from Adler.He paused, looking at his team. "Here's the plan: Jack, you'll take care of the surveillance. Get my eyes on their leader, find out where they're right now, and keep an eye on their movements. They had some plans for today and it will be in their hideout."Jack nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Finally, he was going to do something fun after so many months. "Sarah, Get into their system, disable their security cameras."Sarah nodded, her fingers already flying across her
The eerie night had come; the team had arranged the things for taking down the cult people. Jack crouched low behind the bushes, his eyes scanning the perimeter of the cult's compound. He adjusted the earpiece and whispered, "Surveillance is up. All clear on my end."In another part of the forest, Sarah's fingers flew over her laptop keyboard. "The Internet's down," she confirmed. "The cult's completely cut off.""You guys are doing great." Arthur complimented. It took only a few minutes for the cult members to realize something was wrong. Doubt spread through their ranks as they discovered they were surrounded, but had no idea by whom. They had been lying low since their failed attempt to kidnap Alan, and the police had been on high alert ever since. Stiles came to know the tension around his people. He barked orders to his men, "Who the hell dared to sneak into our base? Stay alert, we shouldn't let them have their way."Mike led the charge. "Clear the path!" he shouted, his voic
"See, It's going leathery." Adler snapped regardless of how Stiles was wrestling with the wire. He yawped his lungs out; the body was burning alive slowly."Let's go, I can't stand his voice." Adler got up from the chair and walked away, Arthur following him shortly, after glancing at Stiles one last time."Fucking help me. Ahhh!" His screams faded in the distance when they walked out of the hideout."It will take some time for the police to find out about this. Clear all the evidence and destroy it. It's just a small group, their master is not Stiles. Portray it like some fight or something. Did you get it?" Adler ordered, Matching his eyes with Arthur.Arthur bowed his head, "On it, Your Highness." With that, Adler left from there, not giving him a second glance. Arthur's eyes shattered, not giving much thought about his emotions, Arthur went to look after the traces they left behind.The evening park was calm compared to the chaos of the city. The sky was painted in hues of orange
It had been a few days since Eryx joined his father's company. Despite his extensive tutoring in business, his role started with basic tasks like a regular employee. However, his time at the company quickly turned sour. Eryx wasn't treated like other staff. His colleagues picked on him, mocked him, and did dirty tricks to humiliate him. The primary reason was his open homosexuality, which made him a target. And the secondary reason was the post he posted online. He was disowned, that's what the people knew but if he was disowned, how could he join his father's company? They forgot to think of it.Despite the mistreatment, Eryx endured it all. His father had explicitly ordered him not to use his authority over the staff, and Eryx had accepted this condition. For the sake of his love, he decided to do anything.In the afternoon, during lunch break, Eryx sat alone in the company cafeteria, quietly eating his sandwich, texting Braylon. The only good thing was he was able to talk to Bray
The dinner was nice, they talked randomly, not much yet warm and comfortable. After that, Alan was soon sound asleep. After the dinner, making Alan sleep, Eryx prepared to leave. He got up from his seat and began to say his goodbyes; Mr and Mrs Rhys went to their room after concluding their conversation, but Braylon hesitated.“Are you sure you have to go?” Braylon asked with a tiny amount of desperation in his voice. “It’s late, and you could stay here tonight. You know, it's quite comfortable for you also, less travel.”Eryx smiled at how Braylon was trying to make him stay, it's cute. “I badly want to, but I really should be getting home. I have an early meeting tomorrow. Not to mention my dad, he will bury me with his endless lecture. If I don't go.”Braylon stood and approached Eryx, his eyes pleading. “Please, Eryx. Just stay. It’s been so long since we’ve had a chance to spend time together. I miss you.” 'Miss you', the word did some great magic, changed Eryx's mind in a good
Amy burst through the cabin door with a loud bang, startling Mr. Silvester immediately looked up from his desk. His secretary stood behind Amy, her face flushed and her hands wringing nervously, unable to stop Amy from intruding into the CEO's office. With a wave, Mr Silvester signalled for his secretary to leave them alone. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and quietly closed the door behind her, leaving the two of them in the room.Mr. Silvester calmly gazed at Amy's angry face. She stood there, her fists clenched at her sides, her eyes blazing with fury. “How could you do this?” she shouted, her voice echoing in the spacious office. “You just broke off the merger without any warning!”Mr. Silvester leaned back in his chair, “I had to, Miss Anderson,” he said evenly. “My son wasn’t fond of the decision.” Amy let out a derisive laugh. “Oh, please! Don’t try to pin this on your homo son. You were okay with the merger, regardless of how much he opposed it. This was your decisio
