Nikkie was Jakub's friend back in high school, but unlike Jakub who was easygoing, he was a delinquent who followed Jakub about, begging him to get him (Nikkie) into the Czarna Pantera pay lists. He had accidentally killed a fellow student at a party back then and was sent away as an adult for ten years. When he came back, all his friends were done with school. Even the ones whom he thought would end up like him. Some were married and some already had what he called a settled life... Wife, kids, businesses or a good career, their own house and great credit scores. He was left behind. With the help of the connections he made from prison, he was able to join a gang and started dealing. One day, he had coincidentally met Jakub at a pool party where he was dealing while claiming to be the lifeguard. A gang war broke out in downtown Texas some time later that led to the annihilation of his own gang. During the war, he had sought refu
It was a brown, sunny day. He was standing on what looked like clay soil. A reddish-brown dirt road. It was broad and caked, with cracks snaking into each other like an endless maze connections. A soft breeze blew the front of what looked like a maid's apron and he had to quickly use his hands to pat the apron back to his body. Looking up, all he could see was the back of the brown horse as its long tail swished around chasing away a fly or two from its butthole."Rosario. Look at me."It wasn't his name but it felt like it was, so he looked up from his fascinated observation of the hide and seek game the horse's tail was playing with the two unrelenting flies. Just as he was about to see the face belonging to the broad back seated on the house, the sun suddenly landed on it. It was too bright for him to see but he heard the man loud and clear."You promise to wait for me.""Yes. I will wait." He found himself nodding as h
Note : There was a problem while uploading these chapters which led to a double publishing of chapter 57. Waiting to rectify it through my editors will take time and since I couldn't publish any chapter last week, i find it hard to make you wait again. This is why I am doing this. My apologies. #Author**************************************************December was the only time of the year every member of the Filipiak family got to see each other. Not necessarily see but at least be within the same vicinity which was the Czarna Pantera's compound. Jan was an only son but he had two sisters who were returned to Poland through marriage to prestigious families as part of the strategic plans of the family to rebuild its Polish connections and reestablish the family in its motherland. Luckily for Jan, he had two sons and no daughters. These sons Marek and Jakub Filipiak went ahead to have only daughters, frustrating Jan's plans of han
Having dropped Hannah in her room and not seeing Jolanta on Hannah's floor, Rolph already knew she would be in his room. So when he opened his door and saw her seated in the middle of the bed with her back resting on the board, he wasn't surprised. He made his way into the room and stopped in the very middle when she didn't make any attempt to get out of bed. "Maybe I should just go back to Texas City since you are not happy to see me." He smirked. "I dare you Raphael. I dare you." She pointed with a long face and shrugged her shoulders but didn't get out of bed."What did I do this time around?" Rolph asked innocently. "Who is that boy?""Why ask when you already know?""You promised to tell me whenever you will get another one of those."" And you promised to stop spying on me."" What?! Are you trying to manipulate me right now Raphael? " She raised her voice."I dare?" Rolph asked with an ea
Everyone arrived at the villa in their own cars even though they left from the same house. When they got there, the drive was already filled with cars and the sun had long set to the west but its golden glow was still tainting the skyline, preventing the night to fully take over. Derrick, who was driving Rolph's car, was leading while Hannah and Jolanta followed in Hannah's car, driven by Delvin. Once they parked, Derrick and Delvin went to the double door and held them open for the ladies while Rolph followed. Derrick and Delvin stayed outside while the others stepped in. Hannah in a body hugging, scandalous, V-shaped, low neck, yellow blouse that left her grape fruit's size boobs exposed with a very long and tiny chain dragged down by a small cross, resting in the valley of her blossom, was the first to step into the long hall in skintight jeans and cowgirl boots. There was nothing in her dressing that hinted at dinner. She was dressed to go clubbing. B
Forty five minutes into the meal, everyone was done eating but couldn't leave until Jan announced that he was done. This announcement saw the people on the second dining table exit the dining room excited because now they were free to do whatever they like for the evening as long as it was done within the confines of the villa."Everyone on this table should stay back except for the ladies. There are important matters we need to discuss before I make my announcement." Jan said, the moment Derrick got up from his seat. The young man quietly resettled in and waited with his eyes fixed on the plates in front of him. The ladies got up and headed for the exit while Jan rang the tiny bell and the servers came in and started clearing the table. Nobody said a thing until every plate was gone but once the last server exited the room, Jan cut to the chase." What do you think about getting married to Jeniffer Derrick?"Rolph's temper flared again but he held o
By the time Rolph got back inside, Jolanta was at their seat with a tray of homemade sweets she got from the kitchen. Rolph told her it was time to leave and she went with the sweet tray despite the pleas from Rolph's half sisters who were quite close to the girls. Rolph was planning to have a talk with Derrick but when they got home, Derrick was nowhere to be seen. Rolph guessed that he had left for the mountains and called it a night, ignoring his father's multiple phone calls because he wasn't going to say anything to the man before talking to Derrick. The next morning, Rolph left for the mountains very early and by the time he got to their training ground, Derrick had already worked up a lot of sweat alongside Ben and Delvin."Good morning boss." They chorused as he entered the fenced off, very big, sparing space allocated to Rolph. "Excuse us." Rolph said to no one in particular but Delvin and Ben knew to leave immediately while Derri
After the auction, Ben spent the night satisfying his new master but it was not the same. He felt nothing. He had to depend on drugs to get an erection. Not just that. When his new master chained him up and beat him, he felt pain. Lots of pain but no pleasure. He didn't understand. Rolph had done worse things to him and he liked and enjoyed them. Since Rolph was his first and only partner, he had always gone through pain to please Rolph. He had no idea what sex without chains felt or look like. He only saw them on TV. He had never experienced them. He could take a lot of pain. Pain gave him immeasurable pleasure until that night. All he sensed was pain. He felt violated, dirty, guilty, disgusting, useless, lost. For the first time in his life, Ben thought of taking his life. Not because he was tired of life but because he felt he was no longer worthy of his real master. And while despairing over his bad luck, he accidentally overdosed. When next he opened his eyes, he
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
