I probably missed it somewhere - maybe in the chapter where the will was read. What kind of inheritance or wealth are we talking about if someone is using criminals to alter it?

Azula and Raithion finally meet… though no one was expecting a heartwarming welcome. Nevertheless, a mother’s heart cannot abandon a sick child in need. It will take some time for Yulin to recover, and during that time, Azula and Raithion are sure to cross paths again - and old sparks will fly once more.

Go Home works as a kind of prequel to Jack’s Story, but it also stands perfectly well on its own. It can be read before or after without creating any gaps or confusion between the two. What it really offers is a closer look at the characters’ psychology and relationships, especially the dynamics behind the father–son tension we see all the time. At its core, Go Home feels lighter than Jack’s Story. The tension between father, son, and son-in-law is still intense and passionate, but it’s also laced with humor, which gives the story a more relaxed, almost playful edge. At the same time, the story doesn’t shy away from the raw, physical side of their relationship - the sexual tension is direct and charged, tying desire closely to questions of control and power. Even with all its complications, you get the sense they somehow find a way to make it work - messy, flawed, but still holding together.

Well, 270275 - of course! 😉

Unfriending on Facebook becomes the central “problem” in the father–son relationship - banal, almost absurd, especially since Sam stays blind to his own flaws and treats it as if Facebook were the real issue. Yes, he is a narcissistic, selfish bastard - probably more - but @Boy Mercury X still give him enough of a human edge, even a certain charm, to make him oddly compelling, if not fully likable. The sexual tension, once acknowledged, doesn’t unfold as anything subtle - it erupts in a raw, charged scene where desire and power are completely entangled. It’s not just about something forbidden, but about who holds control. In the end - while their relationship remains “complicated,” as mentioned in Jack’s Story - that clash creates a fragile balance between them, making them, in their own flawed way, an imperfect but sustainable family.

So, definitely no hara-kiri today! 😁 Beautiful story, @Topher Lydon ... I might like an epilogue - or 20 more chapters - just Ben and Reilly being partners and discovering the frauds. Still, you've caught the essence of the story... and that is important!

It’s so hard to unlearn patterns formed in childhood. At least James can see that something is wrong, which suggests part of him is already resisting the toxicity of his family. Guilt tied to identity, the need to belong, lifelong conditioning to seek approval, and the part of him that is still that child at the table trying to be seen - all of it keeps pulling him back into a place where he gets hurt again.

I’d say the younger kids are the ones who really need support. Ben is almost of legal age and can look after himself, but Mariah and Noah need proper parenting.

I mentioned the cliff… just to add - if words could kill, then these are the ones that cut the deepest - ‘Just go, Kier! You’ve done enough!’

Chris is not wrong, If Wednesday's chapter starts with a funeral, I’m going to commit ritual hara-kiri. 🤪

Or that...😂

Look at it as a cinematic effect- the sirens always show up at the end of the scene, out of nowhere! 😁

Oh. My. God. If a cliffhanger could kill, you’d cause a massacre, @Topher Lydon!

I've read more controversial stories on GA, believe me. Just use a proper tag and warning and everything should be ok.

An idea for a sequel...at least one chapter story! 🤞

Go Home is an absolutely amazing story. It gives us a deeper understanding of Junior and Sam - and especially Boon, who proves to be not only a great husband but so much more. 😉 Warning:

Yeah, because it’s not just about reading the stories - it’s the commenting, discussing, funny banter, guessing (usually wrong), making lists… it’s a whole event here at GA, almost like the GA Olympics. I like my holiday, but missing SA feels like not being invited to the Oscars! 😁

No, it's not...it's fiction, and you are the master of life and death in your story! So, be careful...

I expected Martin was going to say "Sir"! 😂

Why—oh why—does the SA competition always happen during the summer holidays? The Wi-Fi on Greece’s beaches is so lousy… when it even exists!

Good question. I keep wondering what the endgame is for each of them. What’s the real aim of this confrontation - and what comes after? Is it about salvaging pride, reasserting dominance, reclaiming property, changing ownership… or, in Riley’s case, finding some kind of closure? They’re not the same men they were at the beginning of the story (or at the end of the prequel). Will any of this actually satisfy them, or would they be better off walking away and not looking back?

Get out. Before Benjamin calls the police. Or worse, the Albanians. The Lady is magnificent! 🙂

More troubled than this...?!

Raithion is finally confronting Dio… he once sacrificed his life for the Basileus, but now his son’s life comes first. Fortunately, Dio recognizes his most loyal man and grants him a document that may give Raithion an advantage in negotiations with Azula. Let’s hope he does not come to Sura Island with threats, because now is the time to beg - even if you are a prince and Grand Commander of the Empire. In the presence of something sacred, such as the gift of healing, even the bravest and strongest must remain humble. And Azula… he is no longer the same young man from years ago. He is a leader now, yet his heart still seems pure. He may feel hatred toward the Empire and Raithion at this moment, but he will not refuse to save the life of an innocent child.

This sounds so...kinky!!!
