Bryan’s limo that drove into the company was tinted black and bulletproofed. From the outside, it was completely pitch black and no one could see inside, no matter how much they peered hard.The car drove into the underground parking garage, and next to the exclusive parking space was the CEO's private elevator. From the beginning to the end, the reporters and all irrelevant personnel were blocked from outside the garage, so, so far, no one outside knew who was in the car with the CEO.“Are you coming in with me?” Roy finally said after the driver pulled into the garage.Bryan shook his head, “No you go on ahead. I have a place to be.”“You have a place to be or you don’t want to be seen with me?”Bryan raised his eyes and locked gazes with Roy, “Is that what you really think? That I don’t want to be seen with you.” “I don’t know.” His expression was so crestfallen that Bryan had to look away.Letting out a heavy sigh, Bryan took a hold of his hand and exited the limo.Hand-in-hand,
At noon, Roy didn’t go to Anderson’s Inc. cafeteria to eat. Instead, he let the company and planned to visit Liam first.But as soon as he stepped out of the gate, a man rushed over with a bag in hand. Before he could move away, the man slammed the bag over his head repeatedly.There was rivets on the bag and since they were smashed down with that much force, his vision became hazy for a while as blood trickled down the side of his face.The security guard at the gate quickly stopped the man with the disheveled appearance, pinning him to the wall as he struggled to get away. Placing a hand over his head, Roy walked closer to the man and soon he could see the man’s face as clear as day.It was Frederick Macintyre. He had become very haggard.His face was drained of color and his swollen eyes glimmered red hot with hatred as he snarled at the security guards holding him down.His lips looked badly chapped and dry as he muttered various obscenities at the guard. He looked insane.Before,
A few days later.Roy didn’t go to the company today. After leaving Bryan’s mansion, he took a taxi to a hospital building.Having contacted those people earlier, he was aware that the day of the operation was getting closer and because he may or may not have mentioned the Anderson name, the doctors dares not to neglect the little girl and always checked on her every single day.There might be a lot of pain during the operation so it was necessary to ensure that all body organs are in a good state.“Mr. Jordan, my daughter is going to be fine all because of you. I can’t thank you enough.” A woman whispered beside him where he stood in front of a hospital bed and a sigh rose to his lips as his shoulders sagged in relief.He’d been scared that he couldn’t keep to the promise he made with Fred.He shuddered slightly as he recalled the intense conversation he had with Bryan concerning the issue and what it’d taken to make him calm down.“Don’t you ever fucking pull such a stunt!” he’d yel
“We need to talk Liam!”“No, I’m busy right now.” He tried to push past Roy but he stood his ground, staring ahead doggedly. “I’ve got classes man, can we do this later?”Kristine looked from the two brothers and swallowed, “Uh, Liam, Roy. I’ll see you some other time.”Roy only gave a short nod while Liam lightly kissed her.Before she left the apartment, she squeezed Roy’s hand, “I missed you. I hope you settled whatever this is as soon as possible.”The hard look in his eyes softened a little and he turned to look at her, “I missed you too Kris…My lunchtime at the office is so lonely without you.”And truly, he missed her. Since Kristine was only interning at Anderson Inc., they both knew it was a matter of time before she would finish her two-year internship and leave. Although she was offered a permanent position at Anderson Inc. she kindly declined for two major reasons. One, she hated Claire the witch who made her life at Anderson Inc. a living hell and basically turned her in
“He’s out of the woods now.” The doctor’s calm voice echoed in the hallway and Hailey collapsed into Elliot’s arms, her tears soaking into his shirt as he rubbed her back.At the side stood Roy and Liam, muttering words of gratitude under their breaths as they slapped each other’s backs.After the emergency call from Hailey, Roy, and Liam rushed over to the hospital where he was admitted and there were told he just started crying and then fainted.“What is wrong with my baby?” Hailey asked, still crying, “Is he going to be okay?”The doctor looked at her with kind eyes before shaking his head, “Is this young man the father of your child?”Before Hailey could respond, Elliot nodded, “Yes, I am Kyle’s father.”The doctor smiled gently, “Okay please you and your wife should join me in my office now. Thank you.” That said, he tossed a glance at Liam and Roy before walking away.“Thank you. We’ll be out in a minute.” Hailey said to Liam and Roy before walking with Elliot to the doctor’s of
Cassandra’s hands were shaking with anger as she drove to her parent’s house. She couldn’t believe that after the threats, the poisoning, and everything she and her family had done to keep Roy and Bryan apart, they were back together.She felt like she had been betrayed by the man she had been in love with for years. When she arrived at her parent’s house, she barged in, not bothering to knock.“Father, mother, you have to do something. Bryan Anderson is back with his plaything, that tiny little rat, Roy Jordan.” She said, her voice trembling with anger. “I need your help. Bryan’s family needs to be reminded of what will happen to their pack if they let their son be with anyone except me!”Her parents exchanged a look, and her father spoke up, “Cassandra, we can’t keep manipulating the King of Ortiz like this.”Cassandra rolled her eyes, “And you are one to talk about manipulation. Weren’t you the ones who wanted to steal the Golden Circle pack from Ortiz? Since I was a little child,
Roy sat at his desk, staring at the computer screen in front of him. He was lost in thought, thinking about the events of the morning when Mr. Flake, his old department leader, walked in, “Roy, can you do me a favor?” he asked.“Sure, what do you need?” Roy, replied, looking up from his computer."I need you to deliver these documents to the CEO's penthouse. It's urgent," Mr. Flake said, handing him a couple of files.Roy nodded and got up from his seat, making his way to the elevators. As he waited for the elevator doors to open, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him. He knew what was waiting for him at the penthouse.When the doors opened, Roy stepped inside and pressed the button for the top floor. As the elevator ascended, he couldn't help but notice how the floor numbers seemed to take an eternity to change. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doors opened to the penthouse.Roy walked towards the CEO's office, documents in hand, and when he pushed op
Roy slept in late and didn’t hear the knock on the door. He and Bryan had slept in a separate room the night before because Roy felt he wanted to be alone. A lot of things were happening and Roy needed space to clear his head. He wasn’t sure if he was truly comfortable with the new dynamics he had with Bryan.The secrecy. He shuns him in public and then holds him at night. Although he wouldn’t admit it, Roy knew it hurt deeper than it sounded.Then there was the issue about his past and their connection to Bryan’s parents. Something in him told him Bryan’s father had answers to all his questions but there was no way he could accost the man and shake the answers out of him.So he had gone to sleep with a heavy heart.Bryan pushed the door open after knocking for a while and saw that Roy was still asleep. He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he stood at the foot of Roy’s bed, gazing at his sleeping form. He couldn’t help but feel that Roy was slipping away from him and his hear
