Series 3 has been going at a slow pace @Lupus till you hit us with this gem of a chapter. I have just re-read it thrice ..just to make sure am not dreaming . This chapter is not just a dearth of information....it subtly connects all the characters..without them being in the same location. You even subtly hinted that Franz might have the Might 😂👍.. Now I finally and fully understand what you meant before. That the pacing might be slow...but everything is inter-connected.. Am just so in awe. Thank you and now find myself wishing was a time turned so that Next Thursday was here sooner .

Your updates are actually my wake up alarm.hihi...The notification alert on my phone usually wakes me up.. Thank you! That being said ....I learnt something from this chapter..I have always wondered about this statement .'Man proposes, God disposes'.I always thought it was a little naive till I read this chapter. Enrico planned everything to the last detail, so confident in his 'invisibility' and yet if this chapter is anything to go by he will be undone by a small detail that skipped his notice. A camera !!. Oh Ezra Reed, you poor lad!...reading Ezra is reminds me of Marianne Dashwood of the Sense and Sensibility fame.. Thank you @Topher Lydon for a story that is equally entertainment and education for me! Blessed day!

Oh...am not going anywhere ..you can count on that😂...Years ago when I had discovered Nifty archives...there is a story that I read there..it was such a dark tale that more than a decade later I shudder when I remember it. I know I have said it countless times ..but kudos to you. Usually stories here almost always culminate in happy ending for the main characters.. I find myself just hoping for healing for Peter,Lucian and Daniel. In my opinion that is the Happily Ever After for them...

Sorry...basic addition got past me😂 The reason am not that frustrated is because my solace lies in the fact that this is the tale of Nicky and Jack. So will just have to just hang in there 😂😂😂

Well...we got more 22 chapters to go.. so buckle up😂😂..So we ought to prepare to be pissed off to no end

Well...even adults sometimes cannot differentiate the two....it's a tall order for us to expect a 14 yo lad to do..even though he is just a character..

Welcome to the club...have been getting 'pissed' off for the last 3 chapters... He is treating Jack as his fall back option..

Stoker seems like a good addition...Like someone who does not abide by rules...at least thats the impression I got from that brief introduction... Thanks

Well...good thing towards the end of the chapter he realised he is the problem...Hopefully in next outing he displays some degree of personal growth because honestly he is coming off a stinker

Oh God..Lucian is such a broken man ..He needs serious therapy.. his compulsive behaviour is a recipe for disaster.He is so messed up that he does not even seem to recognise that his brothers care about him ...Bruno Greene really did a number on that one...eh.. This is yet another chapter in a row that Daniel's harmful yearning for his father's attention and 'love' has driven him to the precipice of depression!. You warned us sometime back, to be prepared for this story...just realised you were not exaggerating...I can only imagine you who puts this 'darkness' in writing....All the more respect to you! Thank you....next week cannot come soon enough..

When I was reading ...this chapter couldn't help but think..if angst were a person....he would have had a field day with these blokes😂

The learning curve for Killian is going to be helluva steep..

Emotions are just weird..eh

I do not even know where to start with this one...It is like Nick becomes insufferable each chapter. We are supposed to empathize with him since he is just 14 and is just a novice at emotional entanglements....However I find I cannot seem to do with each new chapter update . He knows Jack loves him and he takes advantage of it.He is not intentionally malicious but he is indeed taking advantage of it. He is a smart young lad and like to believe he has the emotional maturity to understand the consequences of his choice . What does he do instead?..He naively thinks he can have Jack as a bff when he is busy schmoozing around with Noah. Knowing every well how emotionally fragile Jack is... Seeing the part below Had me up in arms ...in my head of course!...😂...Was like bitch please!

Sentiment is mutual in the case of Randy-Rick indeed . Maama Carpenter will just have to get on with the program..😂

Well...as longer as you don't get stressed trying to bring them all out at once...will take anything you dish out whenever you can😂

Like we expected otherwise?..I swear one day I will drop my therapy bills on you😂😂

That was intense...eh.

This has been a beautiful tale...have enjoyed the journey but as is always the case ,all good things come to an end. I like to believe that these young men are thriving wherever they are in their universe... I have learnt that societal expectation(in the case of marrying and having children) is really detrimental one's holistic happiness. That parting scene between Rick and Randy is really sad to read for me...these are two lads who definitely love each other deeply but for the expectation of marriage and children. Thank you for sharing this story with us and I hope the Literary Diety wherever they are will bless you with more inspiration to craft more riveting tales to indulge us with.

That was a beautiful written battle...now Scarlet-Oeus need to be smudged as soon as possible.They have caused enough trouble

@vanalas.. I think am becoming jaded where you are concerned Mr.Despair😂😂...You know when was reading the scene with his friend Chris...I somewhat knew the final scene of this chapter would come to pass .Not necessarily how it ended...but that Jace and Matteo would cross paths again...which reminds me what is that you have a penchant for ghosts reappearing when the main characters are either driving or running errands?😂😂😂 Thank you for the update .. going to anxiously wait for the 'what happens next'😂

Now this is what they call thrilling!...This was an action thriller at its best!... Thank you!

Something always happens ....

Haha...I can imagine your reaction indeed....You must have had a laughing fit at such a blatant contradiction.😂

Honestly ..am just still in awe of the fact that you wrote this story series years ago..By the time you wrote this series, I was probably still in Primary school ...Age does wise us up indeed.
