While waiting for Derrick in the toilet, Asahi had switched off his phone but that was not enough. His tracker was still on. If only he knew which of the Chinese gods to pray to. Thankfully, Derrick joined him pretty soon and he started breathing again."Derrick, thank you. I know you will come through for me." He quaked, grabbing Derrick's hand and acting cute. "Why is my club not safe?" Derrick went straight to the point. "Aaah. About that…..Actually your club is the safest place in all of Texas. It's just that my master for the night asked me to leave but I am scared that he would change his mind soon so I want to go incognito throughout the night." Asahi laid his cards plain, his eyes begging Derrick to understand and ask no question." You know I can't help you right?." Derrick asked him. "Please. I just need to stay in a place where my tracker can get disabled just for the night. Derrick, please , you have to help
"He is Japanese. He should know." Derrick shrugged and went back to his phone. " Sorry I don't." Asahi smacked his lips loudly….."but I like it. Can I have some Derrick?"Derrick rolled his eyes and stood up. "Coming up." He said before leaving the lounge. "So Ben...is it Benjamin or Benson or….."" It's Just Ben." Ben answered, cutting him off, hardly able to hide the annoyance in his voice."Okay so can I sit beside you?"Before Ben could come up with a reply, Asahi was already thigh to thigh with him on the three-seater, smiling sweetly at him.Ben reflexively shifted into the armrest. "Some personal space please."" Oh! Sorry!" Asahi shifted a little, creating a very tiny gap between them. It wasn't enough for Ben but he wasn't one to be openly rude to a stranger. He would have even warmed up to this person if it was a woman. Gay men repulsed him and he was reacting accor
Ben woke up alone.When he checked the time, it was way into the afternoon and he needed a fix. Looking down, the club was pretty dark and some strip dancers were practicing on the stage. He watched them for sometime then remembered what woke him up……..He needed a fix. Looking around him, he found the table empty. The soup bowls, wine bottles and cups were gone. Why didn't they wake him? Not dwelling on the thought, Ben stood up and left the lounge. When he got to his crib, he quickly ordered for food because his drugs always come with the food. He doesn't even need the whole set of drugs. Just the coke.He went to the balcony and sat down. Ben loved the view. Texas city; The city that never dies. For Ben, Texas City was his future. If things had gone the way he planned, he would have finished high school that spring, moved to College of Mainland (COM) to study Chemistry and after
While Derrick was cooling off and figuring out how to apologize for his insubordination, Rolph was trying to figure out how to break the ice.The first time Derrick got scared of Rolph was when he had killed that boy with his whip. Derrick was kowtowing to him for weeks. He wouldn't stop calling Rolph 'boss' since then. Rolph had begged, fought him and stopped talking to him just so he could drop the 'boss' tag, but Derrick stuck to it. It was later he got to know that Derrick was distancing himself from him because he had killed someone simply to please Jolanta. Derrick was insecure. They had a talk and he had promised that Derrick was family and he would never do that to him. That was why he wanted to let Ben go. If Derrick likes Ben, then He wouldn't be happy to see the boy suffer right? So why is he angry with me? Rolph pondered. "Over here!" One of the men shouted from atop a hill 4 hours later. He had found the panels. Rolph was righ
Back in Texas within an hour, Derrick went to see Ben and found him sleeping outside. Having seen the tray of food in the living room, he knew the boy was still not eating of his own volition and was going to scold him but when he got outside, Ben was crying in his sleep.He knew immediately that the boy was dreaming about a bad memory. Rolph had gone through the same. Sometimes he remembered the dream and sometimes, he didn't. Signing, Derrick stooped and gently shook Ben's shoulder until the boy opened his eyes."Maaa!" Ben whimpered expectantly when he saw Derrick. His eyes then cleared and he quickly sat up. He cleared his throat in embarrassment."Derrick. You are back."" Why is there a tray of food left untouched in there?" Derrick asked in an armless voice. He couldn't bring himself to scold the boy again."Errm...i was going to eat but slept off….i will go eat it now."Ben stood up."It's cold alr
The morning after, Ben was given a phone and was visited by Asahi. They made plans and went shopping that day. Because Asahi was a busy model, they didn't really spend much time together. A week later, when Ben started learning bartending, he invited Asahi at the end of the week to come taste his drinks. Since Ben was specifically being trained to serve Rolph, his training was focused on the kind of drinks Rolph loved. He was trained to make fifteen different drinks for Rolph ranging from Cosmopolitan, Zombie, Martinis, Caipirinha, Tom Collins to Margaritas and Pina Colada. But he was told that four of those were Rolph's favorites so he was repeatedly remaking them in his free time. Now sure that he had the hang of it, he was ready to test his skills on Asahi and also used it as an excuse to get the pretty man into his crib for a much desired discussion. Ben got the kitchen to bring in a long table and borrowed a set of tools from the ba
The trip to New York had nothing to write home about. Ben had met JAKUB Filipiak who was the grown up version of his son and Hanah Filipiak who had no resemblance to either her father or her brother. She looked like a delicate Mexican beauty with her long, shiny black hair, reaching beyond her shoulders, oval face and skin caught between pale and butter ish,- until you looked into her blue eyes where there is a glimpse of calculated shrewdness…. Ben knew immediately that she was one to be avoided. After meeting those, Ben was left in another penthouse while Derrick and his men did whatever business they had to do. Why did they bring him in the first place? Upon their return to Texas City, Ben was finally able to ask Asahi about sex. Asahi recommended some porn videos which he had to transfer from his own phone to Ben's phone since he couldn't connect to the internet. Asahi wanted to show him how things are done but Derrick had warned Ben
After emptying their glasses, they entered the lift and it took them directly to Rolph's underground red room. Unlike the San Antonio's redroom that was like a junkyard of sex tools and the Marfa bedroom that was a bedroom inside a cage, this room was almost empty except for the very large bed with poles and several hook loops and a body hanger attached to the ceiling. There was not a single toy or tool in sight. Ben breathed in relief. "Let's take a shower first. Undress each other."" Yes master." Asahi replied and moved close to Ben who was caught unaware. The puzzled look on his face made Asahi chuckle slightly. "You can't have that look if you don't want to suffer, Ben. Remember all the things I told you." Asahi whispered as he started unbuckling Ben's Pants. Ben quickly wiped the annoying look off and replaced it with a poker face. " That is not good either." Asahi said before stooping to pull down Ben's pants."W
THWWTHW : The String Of FateBlurb:A Young Master's Journey to True Love.Two years after his disappearance in the state of Texas, Raphael Filipiak, popularly Known as Rolph, resurfaces In NewYork city with a new Face and a New name.This isn't his first appearance in New-York City but on this particular visit, he comes across Ray, the boy who appeared before him at Rockport beach four years ago. This time around, Rolph decides to leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of this stranger who makes his heart beat in a peculiar but pleasant way. Excerpt After that day, Rolph (now Ian) would keep turning down Becca's invites with one excuse or the other but will keep inviting Ray out to drink. Since Ian was a lady's man and quite popular with the girls, it never occurred to Ray to keep his guard up. In fact, he was thrilled that an older boy wanted to hang out with him. One day, Ian invited Ray to a cl
ES03 and '01 were the ones sent to meet up with Rolph after he made contact with them while on the train. They were supposed to meet him at the train station but had to set out to meet him two towns away after he told them he was being followed and a trap was already set for him at the Houston terminal. After leaving Houston, they tried their best to leave no trace of their movements but lost Rolph's phone signals when they got to spring valley. So now they had to go online and track him using his tracker. By the time they got to Jersey, they discovered that they were already made, not by one assassin but by multiple assassins. These people were hoping they would lead them to Rolph. These Elites had no choice than to engage and evade. It took them hours to get rid of two sets of assassins and seeing how time was gone and Rolph's signal wasn't moving, they quickly made the decision to split up. '01 revealed himself and led the assassins away w
After racing through the town with the police in hot pursuit, Rolph finally connected to the road that led to the exit of the town but to his surprise, the police suddenly stopped giving chase. Not knowing what to make of this action, he hightailed it out of town, connected to the remote highway google picked and headed towards Houston. Having caused a huge ruckus in Jersey, to the point where the local news stations reported a hot and dangerous chase between the police and some unnamed suspect, it was not long before Jan got tipped about Rolph's whereabouts. He immediately relayed the information to Boris and his men who then hurried over to Jersey but by the time they got there, Rolph was long gone. All Boris could do was try to clear up the mess he left behind. Just after Texas City, close to his now abandoned home, an unknown object flew out of nowhere and hit Rolph by the side, sending him flying at high speed while the delivery bike also
After Derrick left in the chopper, Jan's men hurriedly hid what they could before the army came in to investigate. By the time the military left, Rolph's safety net had run out and it had already appeared on the darknet that he was no longer under the protection of Czarna Pantera. In the wee hours of the morning, as Jan was Preparing to meet with the family's PR team to plan the press conference where they will announce that Rolph was no longer the future heir of the family, Adam's call came in. His voice boomed with anger and resentment. He demanded to know the reason for the darknet announcement. But after Jan's timid explanation, all Adam said was …"Make sure my son-in-law is back at the ranch unharmed by the time I arrive at midnight." He then disconnected the call. Leaving Jan disoriented, frustrated and even more angry. Jan was caught between the cliff and the valley. Jan called Boris."Where is Rolph ?"
When Jan got to the desert, he met total chaos. Dead bodies littered the ground and half of the den was a heap of blocks and dust. His men had Nikkie's surrounded. Two of Nikkie's men were holding up the still unconscious Derrick in-between themselves, while the rest guarded them with weapons drawn. The two teams were having a standoff waiting for who would fire first but this was only possible because Jan had called his men earlier and told them to cease fire. Jan gallantly strolled to stand beside Boris who was leading his men. He took his time to look Nikkie's men over and imprint their faces in his heart before smirking in a derisive way. " So you all are Jakub's men living right under my nose." He nodded his head in acceptance of the fact in front of him. Jan was brimming with anger and the restraints he placed on himself knowing that Jakub could blow up his ranch was evident in his voice and body language. He was trembling and had his p
As Rolph made his way to the nearest safehouse on his way out of Texas State, Every security personnel affiliated to Nikkie but working for Jan were simultaneously packing up. They have always been ready for this day for years. They were Jakub's ears and eyes on the ranch but their main duty was to watch out for Rolph. Now that Rolph was leaving and Jakub had no interest whatsoever in the family's black market businesses, there was no reason for them to stay. Whatever monitoring needed would from thenceforth be done from underground.They were given two assignments. First was to rescue Derrick and the second was to bring Rolph to New-York. But because they were just a few hands and getting Derrick out was going to be tricky, they couldn't divide the team. So Nikkie's team in San Antonio was assigned to Join up with Rolph at Rockport where the nearest safehouse was situated. This team was to get Rolph moving and meet up later in New-York. While Jan was in his room
When Jan left the office, he made his way to his Villa in a very dark mood. All he ever wanted was to reinstate his family back in Poland as his father made him promise before his death. And he could only do that by having a male heir who will carry on the name of the family. But somehow, the universe decided to make a joke of him by giving him two boys and giving those two boys nothing but girls. When he had discovered Rolph's existence, it was a miracle to him because he had already given up hope. Now after years of grooming the boy with everything he had, he was faced with turning the boy into a prey for his enemies to hunt down. If only Rolph didn't take after his soft hearted, peace loving father, right now, Rolph wouldn't be running for his life but they would be celebrating the elimination of a threat. Now his only hope was to find a middle ground with Adam. If not, after the Roberts were done with him, Adam would finish him and his family off for what Jennifer did to Jolan
By the time Rolph stepped into Jan's office, he found Jan standing by a window with a freshly lit cigar in his mouth. Rolph humbly walked over to Jan's desk and stood there with his head bowed, waiting for further instructions. "Sit down." Jan muttered. In fact, if Rolph's five senses, except for his down-turned eyes, weren't focused on Jan, he probably wouldn't have heard the order. It was as if Jan wasn't talking to him. This made him wonder if there were more troubling things to come. Whatever it was that had Jan so distracted could only be resolved by Jan. Even his own present issues were out of his hands. Rolph took one of the seats and waited. He didn't have to wait for long because Jan puffed a fog of smoke then returned to his seat where he opened his laptop and turned it to face Rolph. On the screen was an open letter from the leader of Robert's family. "They have contacted you?!" Rolph gasped."Read it." Jan replied.Rolph heaved and started reading. The first thing
The moment they stepped into the room, two men already on standby grabbed Derrick and dragged him to a set of heavy iron chains hanging down from the ceiling, just like the one Rolph had in his underground torture room back in Texas. Since Derrick was declared as Rolph's property, Rolph had stopped receiving his punishments. Derrick was the one receiving them in his stead. So when he was grabbed, Derrick and Rolph were not surprised and Derrick didn't put up a fight. Rolph rolled his eyes and faced Jan who had settled in his seat, smoking his cigar as he watched his men chain Derrick up. "How is what Jolanta does with Jennifer any of my business? I don't know where they are. Why are you putting this on me?" Rolph demanded with a straight face. Jan chuckled silently and glanced at Rolph before crushing out his cigar on an ashtray on the table beside his chair. "You have really overestimated yourself. Do you really think that i di
