Brandon and Ellie look at Gregory without understanding."What is happening? What do you mean, Gregory? We are talking.” Ellie responded"Ellie, aren't you ashamed?" He asked. “You… you're… offering yourself like that!”Ellie got up from her chair with a menacing face and started walking towards Gregory. Brandon didn't know she had such a dark side. Gregory swallowed and Brandon realized it.“Ashamed of what, Gregory? Brandon and I are just talking. We're friends. However, it would be none of your business if we were doing something else!”"I know, I know.” He put his hand in front of his face. “Sorry, little sister.”“Get out, Greg!” He nodded in agreement and walked away. Ellie turned to Brandon, who was looking at her with his eyebrows high."You're tough." He said.She rolled her eyes.“Gregory is the slacker!” She sat back down. “And Brandon, this girl is interested in you. I won't be asking for details, because it's none of my business, but if you need anything, just talk to me
The week that passed was very stressful for Lucy. Damon didn't get off her feet, asking for kisses and always trying to go further. He stopped when she asked, he didn't use violence and he didn't sulk when she was bothered. He smiled, said he loved her and that was it.Deep down, Lucy wanted him to behave really badly so she would have a plausible excuse to ask him to get away from her for good. But not! He was loving, increasingly cute. And, in a way, she felt guilty. The man was being what a good boyfriend should be, but she didn't like him and kept imagining it was Brandon she kissed, every time.'I'm so stupid!', she scolded herself, when they were inside the car and Damon nibbled on her neck, drawing a sigh from Lucy. Because she imagined it was Brandon who was touching her, she ended up sighing and moaning. Damon, of course, thought Lucy was reacting because she liked him.She avoided talking, after all, the worst would be for her to call another man's name, while Damon kissed a
The week started wonderfully well, from an academic point of view. Exams week.The world of all students was chaotic, especially for those who left to study at the last minute.Brandon was one of the few who were more than calm, after all, as much as he worked and trained, he studied every day.He and Lucy texted each other since their last meeting, and as the days passed and the weeks went by, he and she grew closer.Damon was still suffering from the 'punishment' imposed by Lucy's father, but he took every opportunity he had to be with her.Rindley visited Ellie whenever she went to the gym and he heard about it. How did he know? She and he spoke daily.Brandon didn't like Ellie, a person he was very fond of, being involved with Rindley at all. However, apparently Rindley was so focused on her that he stopped worrying and upsetting Lucy and him.In reality, Rindley didn't realize that he was actually getting involved with Ellie much more than he had planned.One fine morning, his mo
That day there would be no training as Chung-hee had traveled to Korea. Brandon finished cleaning up and he and Lucy left together. They walked to the back street and ordered a cab.Lucy was beyond nervous. But she wanted it. She really wanted to be with Brandon. Because if Damon continued to insist, she would be angry about it and she wanted to at least know that she gave her first time to the man she loved who loved her back.Brandon was sweating cold. It was super cold outside where it had started to snow, but Brandon was sweating.They got out of the taxi and entered his building. He was so nervous, he couldn't even put the key in the lock.Once inside the apartment, he showed her where everything was, including the bathroom. He'd showered in the locker room, but even so, he was afraid he wasn't clean enough. Lucy asked to take a shower. She also showered before leaving the house, but…Images of what had happened to him when Erika had asked to go to the bathroom and then the hotel
Damon couldn't believe that Lucy was finally being more active. She was on his lap, letting him put his hands inside her shirt, cupping her breasts over her bra."Let me suck your nipples, Lu." He asked. She nodded, taking another look at the house.Damon helped her off with her shirt and marveled, imagining that he could only have died and gone to heaven.He was not a virgin. In fact, even during their engagement, he had slept with others. He had needs and he'd tried to keep himself away from other women, but it was hard. 'But if Lucy gives in, I'll just need her,' he thought.His hot mouth had her moaning and her hips rolling.In her head, she was calling out to Brandon, asking him to possess her.Inside the house, Simon hadn't even noticed that the boys hadn't left, as the car was still there. However, Rindley noticed.He looked disinterestedly at the car, so much so that it took him a while to realize that Lucy was topless, Damon holding one of her breasts and sucking the other. L
“I need to see all the company documents.” The man spoke from behind the desk."Yes, sir." The assistant answered, bowing and leaving the office.The man in the suit gets up, turns and looks at the people below. Out of all those people, there is only one person who matters to him, and now that he was back, he would rescue her.Knock-Knock“Mr Ashford?” A female voice sounded from the other end."Come in."The redhead walked into the room, smiling at Brandon.“I brought the papers you asked for.”“Why, please, Ellie. there is no need for so much formality.” He said and sat back down.“We are in the company. We do need formality.”The year and a half that Brandon was away made all the difference in his life. He recovered from the attempt on his life, and studied abroad, graduated, mastered martial arts, and now he could defend himself very well. Not just him, but her."How is she?" Brandon asked. He knew of Lucy's state of madness."She is better. She went back to college. Apparently, h
Lucy went to the gym where Brandon used to work and train. She looked around and didn't see him, but she wouldn't give up so easily.“Oh, excuse me.” she said to the receptionist. “I look for Friedrich Ashford…”“Who’s looking for him?” the receptionist asked in a very polite voice. “Lucinda Fairfax.” She replied, with a friendly but nervous smile.The attendant asked her to wait while he checked to see if the man she was looking for was there. After a few minutes of waiting, the attendant asked her to follow the other employee.She did and came to a farther room, much larger, with mirrors. And Friedrich was there."I knew you'd like to talk to me." He said and Lucy almost fainted. The voice was the same. More serious, perhaps."Oh yes. I… well… are you related to Brandon Ashford?” She asked and the man, who was shirtless, smirked. He slowly approached Lucy.“And who wants to know?” he asked and she knew he was playing. They asked for her name, minutes before.“Lucinda Fairfax.” She
Inside, Brandon was fuming, but on the outside, he even smiled, politely. Damon was paralysed by the door, looking at Brandon, no, at Friedrich. “B-brandon?” He asked, stuttering. “No, Mr. Montgomery. My name is Friedrich Ashford.” Brandon said and got up, walking to Damon and offering his hand for a shake. Damon didn’t change much, Brandon thought. He was muscled, and that was it. “Friedrich? I’m sorry, you really look like someone else.” “Oh, I bet I do. I had a twin.” Friedrich said and smiled. “A t-twin?” “Yes, a twin. He was a rebel, you see. Left the family, and in the end, we were the ones having to clean up his mess.” Damon frowned. He didn’t like Brandon, but what mess did the family clean? “Wasn’t him… murdered?” “He was. But we don’t have to talk about those private family affairs. What is it that you’d like to discuss?” Brandon asked in a very polite manner. “Please, take a seat.”“Thank you, Mr. Ashford.” Damon said. “Well, my company is looking for investors a
After Peter was dropped off at a house with Ashford security, Gideon went to the hospital to visit Wanda. Her father was there and when Matteo saw his future son-in-law, he decided to talk to him."Ah, Friedrich, can we have a word before you go into Wanda's room?"“Yes, of course, Mr Grayson.” He answered and the two sat on some benches farther away, where there were no people around.“I'll be direct, okay? Wanda and you… Are you really going to get married? I mean, are you a real couple?”Matteo Grayson's question made Gideon frown. He didn't understand why that man decided to ask him something like that.“Yes, we’re going to get married. And yes, we are a real couple. Wanda is the woman of my life, Mr Grayson.”“It's just… She came up with these questions about me forcing her to marry another man if she didn't marry you. I know you've been through the odds and ends, but did anything else happen? Something I don't know about?""No. Wanda is the love of my life, the woman I want to s
Peter was very competent at what he did and Gideon was thoughtful as he watched the boy working on what he had been asked to do.'If he had had more opportunities, maybe today he would be much better off in life', he thought and looked at Brandon, who didn't take his eyes off Peter.Brandon was worried. He knew that if he didn't hear from the Clan, he would be forced to travel, but without being sure about Krasner’s death, he couldn't afford that luxury. He would be risky and falling again from the mad doctor's hands would be certain death.It wasn't that Brandon feared dying. No, he was not afraid of death. Not when it came to himself. But if he was captured and killed, Gideon and Lucy would be after him for sure and they would most likely suffer the same fate. And that Brandon could never risk."I got it!" Peter announced and started rummaging around. “Their initial system is rudimentary, but despite that, it's all well done and protected. Afterwards, the bastards managed to put up
“So, boy. Here's the thing: we need you to hack a system for us. We are without our agent at the moment and I heard that you are a formidable hacker.” Gideon said as he popped a piece of gum into his mouth. He didn't smoke, never had, but when he got too nervous, he liked to chew gum.The boy adjusted his glasses again and looked at Gideon, still amazed.“Yeah… Is this some kind of test?” he asked and Gideon rolled his eyes."I'm not a cop trying to catch you with your hand in the cruse." Gideon sighed. “I need you to get into that system. I need to know if a person is still alive.”“Look, then I think you should go to the police. I am not…"“Enough with the small talk, boy!” Gideon said and approached the boy, who took a few steps back until he bumped into a trash can in the street and almost fell with it. But Gideon caught him by the collar of his shirt. "I need it now. I will pay you well for this.”Peter remembered the wad of cash his father was given and didn't doubt that the man
Gideon was in the hospital room with Wanda, reading one of her favorite books for her, Jane Eyre, when his cell phone rang.“Just a moment, my love.” Gideon asked, raising one finger and Wanda, who was more than pale in the face and smiled slightly, in agreement.Outside Wanda's ward, Gideon answered the phone.“Hi, Bro. What is going on?""Rindley still hasn't been found, but we have a plan." Brandon said on the other end of the line and Gideon listened intently.Upon entering back the room, Wanda was more than awake, looking at Gideon.“I'm going to have to leave for a few moments, honey.” He told her softly.“Gideon… You don't have to go through with this.” She said and sighed. “Our marriage is a sham. You don't have to keep coming here.”He frowned at her and walked over to the bed, sitting in the chair and taking her hand in his.“Do you think I would risk dying for you if I didn't like you?” he asked with an offended tone. “Fuck, I dare say I love you, Wanda!”He notices when he
“It means we have no way of contacting the Clan?” Brandon asked Lucy. He was sitting in a hospital bed, his torso getting wrapped in gauze, while he talked to Lucy on the phone. “I’ll try to find another way. I’ll call Rindley again.” “Ok, love.” Brandon answered and smiled. “I love you, Lucy. And I’m sorry for dragging you into all those problems.”“It is not your fault, baby. Actually, if not for me, you’d have never gone into that trouble.” Lucy said, since Brandon decided to start training because of her, then, he got ‘murdered’ because of her as well. “We were made in heaven.” Brandon laughed, feeling a sting on his flank. The adrenaline was not high anymore running through his veins. The doctor wanted to give him morphine, since he had a great wound on his side, but he denied it, with fear it might make him vulnerable.“Keep still, Brandon! I can hear you’re in pain!” Lucy nagged. “I’ll call my brother.” She finished the call with Brandon, but her heart was clenching, as if
"My children!" Gareth smiled and spread his arms wide, as if genuinely happy to see the twins and their mates."Father!" Gideon said and broke into a huge smile. “We have something new and we wanted to come and tell you in person.”Gareth looked from one to the other, and then, the four raised their hands and the rings gleamed in the ambient light. Gareth widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.“Did you get married?” he asked, surprised."Yes! We couldn't take it anymore. After everything that happened, we decided it was necessary. I had no reason to keep putting it off.” Brandon spoke and sounded very calm.“Then… Then we need to celebrate!”For Brandon, it was very strange to have to look at that man who was in his biological father's body, but in reality, he was nothing more than a crazy doctor, capable of anything to put the crazy creations of his mind into action.A party was arranged and the four had to pretend that everything was fine, that they were a happy family.“So, any
The trip to Las Vegas was quiet and for just a few moments, they wanted to forget all the shit they were living in and focus on their happiness.Since Brandon agreed to work in that martial arts academy, his life has never been the same. In fact, since he had agreed to move back to Bloomington. He knew he would eventually have to go back to the family, living in the city that his family practically ruled.So he met Lucy. Lucy was the key point of everything. If it weren't for her, he would not have decided to learn to fight. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have arranged an absurd fight with Damon Montgomery A, in this, was almost murdered by the young man's jealousy.Then he was saved and stayed for years in a place learning martial arts and how to use weapons. He came back powerful and assuming his twin brother's identity, which he only learned that he had the moment he had to be a new person. But then, he was not prepared for another surprise. His brother was alive and was named
Peter was more than shocked by everything he had just read. So he ran to the driver and asked him to take him to the Ashford mansion.Gideon was waking up next to Wanda and smiled to see his wife who would soon be his wife, sleeping quietly.'She's finally mine!' He thought proud. 'My wife. Just mine!'.When he was waking up Wanda with kisses, ready to have morning sex, someone knocked on his bedroom door and Gideon growled in frustration as Wanda laughed softly.“Good morning, Harold. What there was?" He asked angrily."Mr. Peter is down there and he said it is a matter of greatest importance." The butler spoke. "He is even having difficulty breathing."Gideon agreed with his head and inspired deeply.“Okay, tell him that I'm already going down, okay? Let me just take a shower. ”"Yes sir."Gideon closed the bedroom door and saw Wanda sitting on the bed, her breasts from the outside. He approached her more than he quickly and ran his tongue on one of the nipples."Love!"He laid her,
The car drove through the gates and soon parked. The men put Brandon and Gideon on the stretchers and when it was time to put Peter on, they made fun of him because he was shaking. “This one, poor guy… He was the most affected.” One of the guards spoke in a mocking tone. “Look at him, poor guy. So frail. He got in trouble just hanging out with the Ashfords.” “Ow… I'm straight, but these guys are hot.” “I wanted to be like this… I saw them awake. What a beautiful eyes! That must be why they get such beautiful girls!” “Are we going to have to inject them with more of the hallucinogen?” “The boss didn't say anything about that. They are sleeping. Let's put them in the rooms and wait for further orders.” The men continued to talk about subjects that neither Brandon nor Gideon were interested in. Once in the rooms, Brandon opened his eyes slightly and looked around as best he could. He figured he was being filmed, so he didn't wake up right away. He started to move, like he did in
