I feel hurt and betrayed.”Enzo's brow knotted, “betrayed.”“Yes, you have been playing both sides.”Enzo rolled his eyes. “Don't be dramatic; besides, you shouldn't be angry at just me. Ray is responsible too.”Jake stomped his foot on the floor. “Start talking”.Enzo raised his hands into the air. “ok, fine, we dated 8 years ago. He was in the hood then, and…” he shrugge
Ray's POV.“Boss, Jake followed some bike guy out of the airport,” the guard Ray sent to trail Jake reported.Ray leaned lazily on his fist, spreading himself on the center couch in the sitting room.“I didn't follow because it seemed planned; he followed the bikers after a quick phone conversation with someone”.Ray's brow arched.“But he doesn't have any phone on him.”“He used the biker's burner phone.”Ray nodded, “he's chosen his path.” A sting of pain excruciated from Ray's chest; the thought of Jake being away suddenly felt unsettling.Like he lost something he had just gotten.But he consoled himself by believing that Jake was probably still in town and wasn't collaborating with Ricky.He waved his hands dismissively, and the soldier walked away.Reaching for the burner phone on the table, he dialed a number from his oregular phone.“Hello,” Ray's voice echoed in the phone.“Who’s this?” Ricky's voice rang back.Ray chuckled drily, “For someone who's been on my tail, I'm disa
Henry's POV.“Guess what?” Frank ran into the room holding a cell phone.“What?” Henry replied drily, his eyes buried in the lit-up screen of his laptop.“Just this morning I have gotten 6 calls from small brands willing to come on board” Frank clicked his tongue.Henry looked above his laptop to meet eyes with Frank, “Don't play with me now”Frank walked around the office to where Henry sat and scrolled the cellphone in his hand.“We are back in business baby” he exclaimed and hugged Henry.Henry stayed for a split second and shook Frank off when the thought of Ray suddenly coming in flashed in his head.Luckily Frank nudged it off with all the excitement he had bubbling inside.“We finally have work to do, I'll go back to my desk right away,” Frank blew him a kiss and made his way out of the room.With his door shut and Frank on the other side of the door, Henry threw a fist into the air as he exclaimed.“Ray would be so proud of me right now”He pushed some stacks of paper on the f
Jake POV“How long till we're there?” Jake asked clutching onto the motorbiker's leather jacket and his breath.The guy was insanely above the speed limit, but nobody else seemed to care, except Jake and his bike helmet.“Soon” the driver muttered.In 45 minutes Jake was standing in what felt like a lair.Only this time the lair was filled with men weighing, testing, and packaging drugs.Jake's stomach twisted as the stench of weed and cocaine wafted into his nostrils.“Hello brother,” Enzo called out as he walked into the room.Jake let out a forced grin as Enzo launched him into an embrace.“Welcome,” Enzo exclaimed.Jake's brow knotted. Something didn't feel right “Enzo, what about Matt”Enzo pulled away from the embrace and turned back in the direction he came.Jake followed.“He didn't make it,” Enzo responded finally, clutching the glass of whiskey he had just poured himself from a half-empty bottle in a room Jake later found out was his.Jake's fingers ran through his hair.Enz
Ray's POV “What the fuck” Ray cursed, still clasping Susan in his hands. There were only two people who had the key to the basement. “Henry forgot to lock me in,” Jake blurted. Ray's eyes trailed across his body, taking in his sunken eyes, his rough hair, the bruises on his feet, and then ba
Ray's POV“What are you doing here?” Jake asked, stepping out of the bathroom with drops of water falling free down his chest and his hair wet shattered across his forehead.Ray paused.Letting his eyes trail Jake's body from his brown oily dripping hair, down to his toes then back to his face.A s
Jake's POV.Ray’s gaze fell on Jake's trembling fingers.He patted the unoccupied side of the couch.“Sit….” He cooed, his voice softened.“No,” Ray paused.Ray froze, probably because Jake had never said no to him, never.“I demand an explanation” Jake stamped his feet hard on the wood floor.“I c
“Hell no…”Jake blurted, shutting the door right in their faces.“Bro, what the hell?” Enzo asked, barely able to contain his shock.Ray said nothing, his eyes lasered at the door like he could burn them off there and then, and his heart?They melted almost immediately.He let his fingers Braille ac
