“Thank you, Ellie, for being so faithful to my son. After everything he's been through, I know how important this was to him. I never thanked you properly.”
Ellie smiled and shook her head.
“There is no need to thank me, Mr. Ashford. I like Brandon a lot. Let's just say it was 'love' at first sight, only one between brother and sister." She said happily, and William knew right there that there was no hope for Ellie and Brandon as a couple, ever.
“You are the daughter I didn't have. And I'd like you to be even closer to our family

The Almighty Heir's Return Trial
Judgment day has finally arrived. Brandon, other than visits from the attorney, was not allowed to speak to anyone else. He only ate what the lawyer brought him. As he hadn't been arrested with a trial, there was no problem with it.James was the one who escorted Brandon out of the police station, where many reporters were already waiting. Many pictures of Brandon were taken, and he kept his expression neutral, even when people other than the media swore at him, wished him dead.He tried not to look, not pay attention to it, but he ended up seeing some of the signs that were there. Apparently, his unblemished reputation was completely ruined.He got into the police vehicle and remained silent, heading to the courthouse. There, once again, the media and many more civilian people with signs and calling for 'justice'.“Mr Ashford, is it true that you kidnapped, raped and killed your girlfriend?”"Mr. Ashford, was your envy for your brother motivated?""Mr Ashford, is it true then that Br
The Almighty Heir's Return First day in prison
It didn't take long to read the verdict, and the result was one that Brandon knew, deep down, would happen: He was found guilty on account of the DNA. There was no refuting there. Unfortunately.Georgiana and Devon Montgomery were satisfied with that. Simon and Augustina too, but..“Why do you have that face on?” Augustina asked Rindley, who didn't respond, and as soon as he could, he got up and left the room, alone.As he left, he leaned against the wall. He knew inside him that it was some kind of setup. Friedrich loved Lucy. There was no doubt about that.Then the sound of a door opening and he saw her, Ellie. She had her head down, her eyes red. Rindley took a step forward, however, William Ashford walked away and put his arm around Ellie's shoulders, causing Rindley to stand still.William saw Rindley and said something in Ellie's ear, who nodded and went ahead. William then turned towards Rindley.Immediately, Rindley shifted his stance. His aura grew colder. He thought about tu
The Almighty Heir's Return Dark Cell
Brandon wasn't taken to talk to the counselor or anything like that. No, he was led straight through a door that opened into a steep and, to put it mildly, insalubrious corridor.There were few cells there, and Brandon was thrown into one of them, brutally to the floor. If he had been less robust, he probably would have been much more injured."Let us now teach the illustrious, magnanimous, almighty Lord Ashford, how troublemakers are treated here." One of the guards said with contempt and he tapped his club in his hand, approaching Brandon.He knew there was no point in complaining or yelling. And much less fight the guards. That would only make them use it as motivation to beat up and do even worse to him, in there, where no one was watching their actions. After the shower of blows Brandon received, the men came out and left him there, bleeding.'Chung-hee, I need to talk to him'...That was Brandon's last thought before he passed out. When he woke up, he had no way of knowing if i
The Almighty Heir's Return Is it true?
Brandon's POV"An accident?" I asked very seriously. “What kind of accident?” Seemed like everything was happening together. “The friends of Mr. Jin, those who helped you when… a-hen… the issue with Mr. M. Well, they were assigned a mission and there was an accident.”“Ok, and has anyone died?” I asked. “Yes, Mr. Ashford. Many. Most of them, actually.” Andrew answered and he was definitely trying to be very light about it. Then I understood what was going on. It was an ambush, no doubt. But of course... without Chung-hee and his allies in the police, there would be no way, or at least it would be very difficult, to prove my innocence."I understand." I said finally. My throat was still dry and my body ached from the beatings, but mostly my arms.“Try to keep a low profile for now, Mr. Ashford. Until we can resolve this situation.”“And Lucy?” She was what mattered most to me. Not knowing if she was dead or alive and being abused by the damned Gang was an agonizing pain every second
The Almighty Heir's Return Damn right
“Friedrich Ashford!” A guard shouted his name from the front of the cell. He had a mocking stare directed to Brandon, as if he knew something big was about to happen, and that was not meant to be for Friedrich’s delight. Brandon turned his head around, still laying on the bed, and faced the guard, sitting up on the bed and then standing. "Yes, sir?" Brandon replied, keeping his voice neutral. “The director wants to have a word with you!” He said. “Now, you twit!” Brandon just nodded and the two men in the cell with him gave the thumbs-up sign, as if giving Friedrich strength. He was not in a good mood, but at least, he would know the face of the man commanding that freak show. The guard opened the cell’s door and Brandon got out, letting himself be handcuffed. He would finally see the director.They walked the halls and several inmates shouted obscenities, including asking for Friedrich to be placed in their cell so they could enjoy his 'his nice round ass'.“We need a lady, here
The Almighty Heir's Return A deal
"I didn't say she isn't." The director said, but shrugged. “Friedrich is the one who calls the shots, boy.” He spoke, making a pitying face at Brandon.“Help me out of here.” Brandon asked.The director put his hand to his chest."Are you trying to buy me off, Lord Ashford?"“I pay whatever you ask for. You know very well that I am innocent. You know I didn't do this!" Brandon was desperate. His brother… was alive."Do I, now?" Bismark asked, smoothing his chin. “I don't know if I even know, Bran. It's complicated. I hope you understand my side.”"How much? Whatever that fucker paid, I pay double, triple!”"Hmmm... I'm enjoying how stubborn you are, Mr Ashford."“He did not act alone. Who's with him? The gang?"Bismark smiled even more widely, if that was possible.“Smart boy! You must be the pride to your father!” Bismarck spoke.“I mean it, Bismark!” Brandon said. “I need to save my woman!”“So romantic! The gallant knight saving the damsel in despair.” He said, dramatically. “Ah… b
The Almighty Heir's Return Little Gideon
“Please… with the lights off.” She asked, embarrassed. . That way, she could think about Brandon more freely."But I want to look at your face." Gideon spoke and kissed her. "Lucy..." She turned her head slightly to the side“Gideon…why?” She asked and he, who was about to close the bedroom door behind her, looked up. Those blue eyes of Brandon."Why what, my goddess?"She bit her lip and that caught his attention. He loved the form of her lips. He wanted to have her all the way. "Why do you want me?" She asked.He sighed deeply and caressed her face.“Because I fell in love from the first moment I saw you.”"Perhaps you are mistaken."“No…” He shook his head. “I saw you with Brandon, and then I knew you and I would be great together. A perfect couple."She wanted to say he wasn't Brandon, but she wouldn't make that mistake again."Turn off the lights..." She asked and kissed his cheek.Gideon nodded and pressed his mouth to her ear."Call me Brandon, I'll let you do it, tonight." He
The Almighty Heir's Return Perfection
Gideon didn't ask questions, he didn't interrupt Dr. Krasner at any time. He had learned all too well what happened to anyone who interrupted one of the adults. And as much as Dr. Krasner was good enough to take care of him and beat him up, still, Gideon had to hold to the rules. He was already playing with his luck. “Are you understanding so far, Gideon?”"Yes sir." He replied and Krasner smiled. The light reflected off his round glasses, making Gideon unable to see the man's eyes. Such a creepy image. "Very good. After insemination, they discovered that they would not have one, but two children. To the family’s discomfort, they would have two boys.”“In a family like this, having two boys, twins, was a very big problem. And do you know why, Gideon?”"No sir." The boy asked, calmly, his head down. "Well, I'll tell you: the problem is that just that could cause a fight between the brothers." Krasner said. “There can only be one heir. Therefore, they would need to get rid of each ot

Wanda is mine
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
We need to go
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
Here, boy
“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
It can't be
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
Problems
“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
Celebration
"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
Married
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
A paper
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,
Reencounter
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
