Chapter 011 - Honey Trap

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

A sweet trap. That’s exactly what James has fallen into. The retreat is for his stamina, but he is being trained in the pleasures of bed instead. Which means that Rohan has time for his revenge. Irving is proving himself to be useful to his plans. So useful, in fact, that Rohan gets out of the house because James’ moans of pleasure have become annoying.

Every night, though, Irving still reports to him. He mentions that James is insecure about the power and influence of his mother. He also can’t admit to his mother that he is homosexual.

And at the very few moments he finds them training, Irving always gives him cold water. It’s as if it’s his showing that he cares for James.

“Here,” Irving will say. “You need to hydrate.”

“Oh, thank you,” James responds and accepts the offered water.

However, it will only take an hour. Soon, they are already kissing and making love again. And Rohan is getting a lot of resources. He has already finished a couple of videos and released them to the internet. It’s getting a lot of views and comments. He will upload another soon.

He smirks. Thankfully, homosexuals are not yet widely accepted in the country. James will return to the city with a damaged reputation. Hopefully, his mother will disown him.

Rohan sighs happily. Kyndra said that James Yu is at the bottom of the Twelve Elites. Still, it fills him with the accomplishment that he will destroy one member. If he beats them all, Walton will be alone and he can finally exact his revenge on them.

And so Rohan enters James' room and asks if he can leave early. James allowed it. He smirks. James is really making it so easy for him.

***************

The instant Rohan returned to the city, he sent his resignation, changed locations, and prepared his next set of actions.

Rohan is watching the main branch of Yu’s Gym when James and Irving arrive from the retreat-house-turned-to-love-nest. They might not be touching each other, but the way they look at each other–it is clear that they are in a relationship.

Like Rohan, the press is also waiting for James. They huddle around him, probably asking about those intimate videos he released. James escapes from the media. It doesn’t even take thirty minutes when a crashing sound is heard from James’s office, followed by a bellow. Rohan chuckles alone. James knew!

After a couple more minutes, a furious James comes out, followed by Irving, but he brushes him away. Ha! There goes the sweet, intimate moments they shared at the retreat house.

“Find Rudi!” he screams at Mr. Dugal before he drives off the gym.

When everything quiets down, Rohan climbs down from his hiding place and stands behind one of the journalists.

“You are looking for more videos and pictures?” he asks.

The journalist whirls towards him and scowls at the way he hides his face with a hood and handkerchief.

Rohan gives him the thumb drive. “There is also the picture and video of him taking steroids,” he informs.

“You will not ask for anything in exchange?”

“Send money to this account,” he says, pushing a piece of paper in his hand.

“Okay,” the journalist says as he glances at the documents. “The other competitors will want him to be removed, as this is considered cheating.”

He smiles at the man. That’s what he is hoping for as well.

And so, that night. The news is filled with James and Irving again. This time, there are pictures too. The video shows James and Irving kissing passionately. The reality show has canceled him too due to the steroids issue. Most importantly, there are demonstrations, religious and not, in front of his gym.

And oh! He is enjoying all the comments of the people. Some are calling him evil, and others say that he needs help. It doesn’t matter to him because his revenge is working perfectly.

*************

Rohan pulls himself up the fence into an opulent backyard. Irving is using the swimming pool. Rohan crouches behind the bushes as he watches him finish the lap.

Irving climbs from the pool, his body glistens wetly from the water. He takes a towel from the table and wipes himself with it.

Rohan gets out of his hiding place. “Hello, Irving,” he greets.

He whirls towards him. “Rudi! What are you doing here?!”

Rohan smirks. “You’ve been unavailable since you and James returned from the retreat house.”

Irving walks towards him. There is caution in the way he moves now. 

“Did you change loyalties now, Irving?” he asks.

“I have no loyalty to anyone except to myself,” he retorts.

Rohan nods. “I know that.” He approaches him. “I heard you married James abroad.”

Irving scoffs. “I did. “

He chuckles. “We both know that you will get his inheritance if James dies now.”

“He will not die!”

“Ah, the man-whore got a thing for James now?”

“Are you here to kill him?”

“And why would I do that?”

Rohan takes another step towards him, but Irving retreats. “I don’t want any trouble with you,” Irving says.

“I don’t want any trouble either.”

“James knows that you are the one who spread our sex videos. I told him everything.”

Rohan’s lips curl up, and he dashes towards Irving. He grabs his neck and pulls him up. Irving starts to choke. Rohan wonders if he looks like Kendrick now back when he is abusing him in the Walton estate.

“What did you tell him?” Rohan asks.

“T-that you… are an asshole!”

Rohan laughs. “I am.” He releases him and then punches him in the stomach.

Irving falls to the floor, coughing and gasping for air. “What else?”

“That you are a coward,” he pants. “That you will run away when things get hot.”

Rohan kneels beside him. “But you won’t, right?”

Irving growls. “I also told James that you don’t want him to join the reality contest.”

Ah! He still believes that. Kyndra said to lie to your allies. Thankfully, Rohan heeds that. “You are forgetting one thing.”

“That you want money from him through me.”

Rohan chuckles. “Correct. Now, where is it?”

“I have nothing to give you.”

“I need to break even, Irving. That’s our deal. I will let you meet him and make him fall for you. Then you will get all the money. But in exchange, you will triple what I paid you. That’s what we agreed upon.”

“And how do I know that you won’t ask for more?!” Irving snarls.

Rohan smiles widely. “Because I will run away! After I sent and distribute the sex videos, do you think the Yu family will not run after me?!”

Irving stares at him, deciding if he would trust Rohan’s words again. “Fine,” Irving finally says. “I will send you the money.”

“When?” Rohan asks.

“I will need to ask James. Give me two to three days. I will send it to that place, in cash, like what you’d like.”

Rohan cracks a smile. “Good. I’ll be waiting for you there.”

    The TV blares in the background while Rohan prepares his food and beer. He sits on the couch and watches the news. The anchorperson reports how the police discovered that James Yu died of a steroid overdose. Prolonged usage has made James healthy on the outside, but unhealthy and weak on the inside. “James Yu. The sole heir of the Yu dynasty died today,” the anchor said. “It will be remembered that James Yu has a problem with—” A knock comes on the door. Rohan smirks. Just about time. Hera did a good job, huh?

You have James Yu’s fortune.” “If he is alive! But if he’s dead,

    Two men enter the bedroom, breaking the door open. They point their guns at Rohan, who quickly grabs his pistol and points it at them, too. One of them smiles. “So you are the helper.” He pulls out a knife from his pocket and throws it at Rohan’s chest. He tries to evade, but the blade pierces through his shirt and the first layer of skin. He falls back onto the bed, clutching his shallow wound. Still, a trickle of blood gushes out from it. “You should’ve lived your life peacefully,” one of them snarls. Rohan looks at him with contempt. He did try, and what did that do to him? He became a slave to the Waltons. Worse, they took his inheritance from him, and they even attempted to take his life! So, this pain is nothing! “Where is Irving?” Rohan asks instead. “That half of a human will die today. We are—” To surprise them, he aims his gun at them and fires several shots before allowing them to finish speaking. One of them gets shot and collapses on the floor, bleeding heavily. Anot

She is his target, and she doesn’t even know the things he plans for her. Dashing out of the street, he grabs Rosalyn’s hand and makes his way to the parked car. It is a Range Rover, something that will not interest Rosalyn. However, when they enter, she realizes that it is customized, from the seats to the entertainment and even the hood. Before she can say anything, Rohan asks, “It may be insensitive of me, but may I know where your house is?” After saying her address, she settles on the seat. She seems so relaxed and harmless. No one would know that she’s previously one of the Ten Elites. She enjoyed her time there and even now, she gives massive support to them–as Kyndra had told him before. Maybe, instead of her house, Rohan can bring her somewhere he can kill her? No! He shakes his head. He is not a murderer like that

    After a while, Tyrianne comes out of her room wearing a skimpy outfit. “Oh, I didn’t know you were awake,” she comments, lowering down the volume of the television. “Who could sleep with that kind of noise?!” he snaps, straightening from the sofa. She chuckles, unaffected by his irritation. “We might have a little too much fun.” “A little?” Rohan’s voice rises in disbelief. “That was not a little. You two were practically screaming your lungs out!” Tyrianne just shrugs nonchalantly. “Well, we can’t help it if we enjoy each other’s company,” she smirks. Rohan rolls his eyes and huffs in annoyance. “I swear, you two have no sense of decency.” “Decency?” Tyrianne repeats, raising an eyebrow at him. “You’re one to talk about decency when you are watching TV at such a loud volume.” He gives her a pointed look before turning back to the TV. He doesn’t want to admit that he was trying to drown out the scandalous sounds coming from her room. She walks over and sits beside him on the co

The following day, Rohan watches from a safe distance as Douglas makes his move. He sees him looking around before slipping inside Gertrude’s office. Rohan can feel his heart racing with anticipation, knowing that this could make or break their case against Gertrude. Inside the office, Douglas quickly moves towards Gertrude’s computer and begins typing furiously. Rohan can see that he is nervous, but determined, as he sifts through files and folders on the computer. Then, there is a loud noise outside the office and Douglas freezes, looking around frantically for a place to hide. The door swings open, revealing Gertrude herself.

Rohan mimics her. They are using crystal glasses and extravagant decorations. There is also a huge chandelier above, which gives off a more opulent atmosphere that matches Gertrude’s persona. “She loves to show off her wealth and power? I guess this is a great place to do it.” As they carefully navigate through the throngs of people, Rohan and Tyrianne keep up a steady stream of discreet conversation, keepi

    Rohan and Tyrianne quickly make their way towards their safe-house, the injured mercenary slung over Rohan’s shoulder. They have no time to waste, as they need answers from this man before he succumbs to his wounds. As they enter the safe-house, Rohan sets the injured man down in a chair while Tyrianne begins to prepare for the interrogation. She brings out various tools, including ropes and knives, that she knows will be effective in getting information out of someone. She also prepares medicines and bandages — another path for the mercenary if he chooses to cooperate. When the mercenary wakes up, he struggles weakly against his restraints as Rohan takes a seat across from him. His eyes flicker with fear and pain, but he remains silent. “Who hired you?” Rohan starts off calmly. The mercenary remains silent, his gaze shifting between Rohan and Tyrianne. “Are you not going to answer?” Tyrianne asks coldly, her fingers daintily touching the different tools setup for him. “I—I can’

Tyrianne nods in agreement. “I’ll create a diversion. You sneak up on him from behind,” she says, before dashing towards the opposite end of the hallway. Jackson’s attention turns towards her, and he starts shooting in her direction. Meanwhile, Rohan takes advantage of the distraction and stealthily moves towards him. Just as Jackson turns around, Rohan tackles him to the ground, sending both of them tumbling down the stairs. The impact knocks the wind out of Rohan, and he struggles to maintain his grip on Jackson’s gun. They wrestle on the floor. He can feel his muscles straining from the effort. “You think you can take m

Dust fills the air and the slivers of light that sneak in from the outside illuminate the room. He shifts his gaze to her, and like him, her face is pale and drawn. He can see the worry in her expression, the same as what he is feeling now. Tyrianne breaks the silence. “How could it have been so easy?” Her voice is barely audible and there is a tremble in her voice as she speaks. Rohan shakes his head. “I don’t know,” he admits. “Do you think it’s a trap?” “But we’re still alive.” “A delayed trap, perhaps?” Still, Rohan feels like someone is laughing at him–as if he is being played around. “How safe is this place?” she asks. “You’re the only person who knows this place.” “I’m worried about my kids in the orphanage.” “I don’t think they would massacre them.” “Rohan!” she scolds, and she might not have noticed herself, but she just called him by his name. “Should I apolog

Shadows dance through the shattered windows as he and Tyrianne pick their way carefully over the debris on the floor.“He did say that Gertrude’s allies are using this place to store incriminating documents.”“Without a guard?”“We’re not yet sure of that,” she answers.Rohan keeps quiet as they delve deeper into the crumbling building.“Over here,” Tyrianne calls softly, her flashlight illuminating a stack of dusty file boxes tucked away in a corner.Rohan joins her, his pulse quickening as he opens the first box. “Look at this,” he murmurs

Although, Tyrianne looks all harmless, innocent, and sincere—it belies the fact that she can ensnare anyone within her traps.The door opens, and Tyrianne comes into his office. She is wearing a purple dress that reaches half her thighs. Her hair is up in a lovely bun and her heels are at least five inches high.Sitting on a couch, she removes her heels and starts to massage her feet.“Gertrude Mendoza has her fingers in a lot of pies,” Rohan informs her.“Right,” she says. Clearly tired and annoyed by the recent social event she had just attended.“How’s everything on your side?”“Bad. I didn’t see Clint at all. No one from Gertrude’s side attended the event too.”“A waste for the get-up?”“What?” she asks, frowning.“Well, you look pretty in that dress,” he comments, almost trip
