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

    “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.

    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.

    “That’s for you to learn your place! Got me?” Kayle Jamerson said, while kicking Brandon, who was on the ground. Kayle bent down and grabbed the poor young man off the ground by the hair, to make him lift his head and look at him. “You answer me when I talk to you, shithead!” He pushed Brandon hard on the ground and motioned with his head for the others to finish the job, while he stepped aside and lit a cigarette. While the others kicked, punched and laughed at Brandon, Kayle felt his chest warmer. He hated to be second place, and if that stupid boy thught he could humiliate the great Kayle Jamerson like that, he was damn wrong!When they were satisfied, Kayle and his gang left, laughing, while Brandon was scattered on the floor, bleeding from the cuts in his face and all his body hurt. That was not the first beating he received from Kayle and the others, but that time they hit him really badly. ‘I have to get up…’, he told himself. And that was not just about his honor, but becaus

Nice to meet you!” The girl greeted Brandon, which made him very nervous.“H..Hi, I’m Brandon.” He replied.Looking at the nervous boy, the girl smiled.“Could you tell me about this lesson?

    Kayle. Kayle Jarmerson, with all his almost 6.5’ height, muscled arms, dirty blond hair and malicious icy blue eyes, was there, inside the room, holding a camera and his friends were just behind him. Brandon could only think about Erika, but all his worries vanished in the next moment, because she left the bathroom and was held by Kayle, who kissed her. “Did you really think she would want you? She is my girlfriend, you idiot!” Kayle asked, full of venom in his words. “Let’s show the world what Mr. Brandon Ashford’s incredible body!” Everybody, except Brandon, started to laugh. He cast a glance at Erika and she was not the same person from minutes before!Brandon was not too skinny, but he was not too muscled, either. His body was full of bruises, given by none other than Kayle and his friends. “What are you doing here? Why are you here?” Brandon ended up asking. He thought his life was going to change, once he was far from those bullies who made his life a living hell since he was

    “Do you really think we’ll fall for it, Brandon?” Kayle sneered. He looked at the others who were getting up from the floor and they all started to nodd. “My dad is rich and you, shit head, is a good-for-nothing beggar!”Brandon remained silent, just watching while his butler worked on the phone. He was just staring, serious, and his expression was blank. Erika, who was still by Kayle’s side and watched the whole thing, was now observing Brandon a bit better. She had just played her role as Kayle asked and, in fact, she had not looked at the man near her. But now she could see how handsome he was. And of course, his kiss was great, although she could never admit it. “Kayle’s father will end you!” One of the bullies said. “Not only you, Brandon, but those clowns, too!” “Yeah, he will. Nobody touches me and lives another day!” Kayle smirke, nodding. “All done, sir. The information is gathered.” The old man said in a very polite and professional way. Then, turning to Kayle, he contin

    The next day arrived and Brandon acted as if nothing happened. He got up, took his shower, put his clothes on and after having his bag on his shoulder, he left for classes. His butler had called a few more times, but he was not in the mood to answer just to dismiss the man. While he was walking inside the campus, he noticed that a few people were looking at him and he frowned a bit, but thought that was nothing, after all, except from Kayle and his friends, he was not known. “Sexy abs, huh?” Brandon heard someone say, but he didn’t think the person was talking to him and kept walking to his classroom. “Damn skinny. He should eat more.”“At least he seems to be quite big down there.”“Gross! Don’t talk about it… his body is not nice…And he is weird. A loser.”Now, Brandon was sure they were talking about him. Not that he really cared about what others thought or said about him, but in some way, it disappointed him. Going to college should have been a new start, a new life, but no. I

    “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

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

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
