Totally agree. The family's reference to Jeremy's "Bitchiness" along with their own inability to assume any responsibility, gives credence to the thought they lacked any understanding of Jeremy's true mental health. The family's lack of accountability (especially Bradley) leaves a void of compassion and introspection I up to this point, would have to some degree expected to take place. Jeremy left to his own devices, has through therapy and the correct pharmaceuticals, is managing his "Bitchiness" and receives the golden thumbs up from the No.1 son.

I'd like to believe that feelings of the heart, can't simply be defined as straight or gay, but something uniquely experienced with that one individual who erases those social and self inflicted boundaries and allows their heart to have it's way with them. Naive? Fantasy? A romantic relationship for Alan and Cal may not be in the cards, but Cal's memories of his first will be filled with positives.

A brief flash of humanity, revealed only away from prying eyes who would exploit it as weakness. A great many options to exploit us as well. Looking forward to it.

Even with questions as to how and why? Gael's dramatic return, helped to satisfy the readers need for vengeance for Carlos's betrayal and Natalie's deception. Great chapter. Anxiously awaiting the next.

Touching.

Heartbreaking 💔 Will's loving and patient doting will go a long way in calming Travis's conflicted emotions. Will is right to suggest notifying Travis's therapist. Jeremy rocked! He and Kris ( with a K) are showing growth as a couple. Jeremy's confident and bold approach to these caddy bullies like will set him in good stead in future dealings. Great chapter.

Dibbs! 😝

The pleasure was all mine❤️

It's my impression that Marc has, by his very DNA, been created for the situation he now finds himself in. Thus, all those even much more his senior in age and experience, stepping back to allow Marc complete control. Control in which his mission undeniably made him the center of that universe. A mission placed in jeopardy by those most dear to him. Forcing a choice no one should ever have to make. While Marc will never regret saving those he loves, he still must live with the deaths of those under his command he turned his back on. He seems to have found his nest for his future with Adam Pressure from outside sources to speed his recovery will most likely not not be rewarded with the positive response. Great chapter, love this story.😉

" I have some idea how to live with the deaths now " hopefully, Adam's return will help advance Marc's healing. However forgiveness is never a given.

Beautifully said.

" they know that Jeremy doesn't get how badly his behavior hurt the rest of the family". At the behest of his "father" his " family" kept, what could be the most soul crushing secret to anyone undisclosed to ONLY him for nearly twenty years, and Jeremy needs to worry about how badly he hurt his family? They lied to him, they allowed a "family" member to physically abuse him,v with no repercussions, except a redesigned dorm room, then they isolated him. All this, knowing he had mental illness issues. Gee, who would not want to rush back into that supportive loving "family"? Was Bradley's game to wait until Jeremy was of legal age so as to not be financially responsible? My advice to Jeremy, find a new therapist with no link to the "family", find an attorney for financial options, from Bradley and Bio daddy. Move and send the Maybach keys to Stef, no note. As for his prince, it's time to choose, him or his "family". Is any of this realistic? Of course not. Great drama though. But this "family needs a wake up call. And All the above just might not be enough. They are redefining, oblivious.

Extremely well written. Attention to detail is remarkable. You place us right where you want us, we feel your strong hand in your writing. "Somewhere your monster still lives. I'm trying to find him". Brilliant! As I've mentioned before, I'm not taken with this genre often. However, taken I am. Great chapter.

Thoroughly enjoyed your story. Well done.👏

Completely agree. Bradley's decision/deception, along with the other family members cooperation is what ultimately created the situation they now find themselves in. A thought, might the GC himself turn out to be Jeremy's most staunch supporter when the realization to the full ectent of harm caused by Bradley's/ family's, cowardly and nearly two decade long deception is confided to him by Jeremy? Wait, that would require some pretty extreme introspection... NAAH!

Yeah, just how oblivious the family is to the reason for Jeremy's original outburst and feelings of betrayal. Somehow Jeremy needs to suffer the consequences of his actions, ( hurting GC's feelings) mental illness or no, pummeling aside, the family (Claire) the exception, sit in guiltless judgment. Not to worry, Jeremy returns, tail between his legs. His bad.

That works too.

In depth research, no doubt 😁

Perfect! Carlos put in his place. Hoping for the same for Amanda soon?

Will the lure of big 🤑, erase Cal's fears of exposure? I certainly hope so! 😃

Not a genre that usually holds my attention. This story however, not only holds it, but leaves me wanting. We'll done.👏👏👏

More, please.🔥

So So good!

Good points. Thank you. It's just that, Mark is sooo good at the inner dialog, giving us that honest insight into his character's deepest thoughts and emotions. It's selfish, I know, but I missed that here with GC. From GC's perspective, Travis's decision would have hurt deeply, reasoning understood or not. Talking this out here, maybe GC's quick departure was Mark's way of allowing GC space to collect his thoughts? IDK. Rambling now, sorry.
