Someone once said ..sexual orientation is fluid or something of that sort😂😂...just kidding... That being said.. fact that the boy is closer or even same age as Julian speaks volumes 😂😂

Eh..who are we to refuse the offering...thank you Sir😂

God..!..Brady never seems to catch a break...eh.. I hope he gets a win soon...because those hits must hurt like hell..

Oh that household is nasty!...When was reading at the beginning of the chapter,I had hope that Robert was different in a way...but I guess that was too much to hope for. Imagine the pain that Julian must be going through after having been made to feel like he should feel grateful that he was adopted and all the time Robert had a biological son.. who could have handled the emotional abuse coming from the expectations.. One aspect I didn't like was a hint of a Dean/Julian romance...that would be so out of the blue and unearned😂. Thank you!

I was watching some Chinese TV series yesterday and coincidentally there was a scene where two characters are playing Xiangqi( the Chinese chess) and then one character mentions that one must always exercise utmost calm during the most chaotic moment...Reading this chapter made me remember that scene. Hubris is such a bitch.Abernathy has always overestimated his strategic mind ,thinking he has no equal...Guess this chapter just disabused him of that notion and now the die is cast.. Hmm...super marvelous action sequence and thrill Mr.Lydon🫡

Oh Lyn ..you slippery lad!..Sometimes I feel like Lyn is in the wrong profession...the way he is able to negotiate that encounter with Quinn and Joe ought to have a thesis written on it😂

I personally disagree with you on the first one @Geemeedee...At least we would have gotten a hint of it from earlier...Like others have mentioned many times...Lyn just over thinks and in doing so he can't see the forest for the trees..

And trigger an international crisis?😂

Damn that cliff hanger!..😂

Mr.Aterovis...sometimes I wonder how you feel about Killian Kendall😂...I don't know how a character can be equal parts frustrating, infuriating ,intelligent, dumb and likeable at the same time....That lad is a bag of contradictions....never read a character who is so self absorbed and yet empathetic at the same time.. Thank you!

Well sometimes things are not as they seem....but if we are to go complex...we could argue about free will and choice😂😂

Because you had not introduced all the main characters yet...especially the one who appears in the story cover ...The boy!..For some reason I don't have the feeling that the boy is the evil incarnate ..but maybe I will be surprised😉😂

Oh God!...my heart broke with that story...2 years of that torture ...Brady is stronger than he gives himself credit

@vanalas...I am making a new assessment...you took long in writing a story of this genre..This story slaps big time😂...and it's just chapter 2.. I cannot wait long enough for me😉

This is unlike your usual offerings...and am all for it! ..I have a feeling it's going to be a crazy ride... Thank you!

Oh Elinore you have fucked up really badly!...Now I find myself excited for the family to tear her a new one.. That being said...Josh is in real trouble now.... That was really intense Mr.Burton.

This is one of those chapters where a comment is like desecration...Like one of those beautiful moments that you need not explain but feel.. Thank you @LittleBuddhaTW...this was a superb offering!

Okay...I take back my word ..Sarah McLeod needs to be defenestrated ...no more diplomacy . I rarely have, if ever ,any negative word concerning Andrew but this time I feel I have ....Ned being taken is failure on their part ...They knew he was a sitting duck and yet didn't take any measures to secure him...especially after last chapter when they knew who Sarah is. I know Mr.Lydon is working his magic on page as we speak but damn if I was not frustrated with Andrew and his team!

If this was primetime tv...I would name this episode ..The unraveling...We are given front seat to Lyn's psychic dissonance and I for one have to admit it was tough to witness.. The ambivalence Lyn displays during that sexual encounter with Alexander has to rank among the best pieces of writing in this story so far... @Cane23 aptly stated that the sex was about control and tenderness from Alexander's perspective..I like to believe that for Lyn it's about trying to regain some semblance of control over his emotions at that particular moment..He has literally had his belief system upended when he witnesses the blow job between Luke and Brad. So he is running on 'emotional fumes' so to speak ....I equated his new found 'dominance' with Alexander, braving through the pain and discomfort of taking Alexander's more than considerable weiner as a form of self-flagellation ..Like he is punishing himself for the wasted time ,effort and the shame . That being said it was nice to see our Alexander get a win albeit a temporary one...

Consider me shocked!🤣🤣....now the plot can kick off properly....all other twists have been teasers🤣🤣

Oh God!...what a way to wake up! The best moment was the expression on General Gallagher's face 🤣🤣

Well ..this time we have a grandpa from hell

When does pretence become real ?.This story attempts to answer that .We are introduced to our protagonists Zayn Monroe and River Flores who strike a bargain to pretend to be a couple for a family reunion. What follows is beautiful chaos as we they navigate family dynamics. one snark after another. The story is beautifully set up with good pacing, well written characters and witty dialogue. A highly recommended good read piece !

Good to see you update .. I hope you recover soon... Thanks !

That is not Will's MO...that's the current US Senate Minority 's forte 🤣
