Chapter 9
“Withdrawal? London?” Blake’s brow furrowed tight. “Who gave her permission to leave?!”
was…]
She couldn’t just suddenly withdraw and go abroad! The only explanation was…
She knew! She knew everything![]
This realization made his irritation instantly escalate to a more complex, indescribable panic and rage.[]
Find her exact London address! School! Now! Immediately!” He was practically growling orders, his knuckles white with pressure.[]
His subordinate nervously agreed and rushed to handle it.[]
Ryan heard the news and whistled, his cocky grin widening: “Ran away pretty fast! Damn, shame I didn’t get enough of that… body, those hands…“[]
“Ryan Morrison!” Blake cut him off sharply, eyes sharp as knives with undisguised warning. “I told you to shut up. You deaf?”
Ryan saw the rare, nearly out–of–control violence in his brother’s eyes and finally backed down a bit, though his lips still held that hint of troublemaking amusement.[]
Blake irritably loosened his tie, feeling like he had nowhere to vent his rage.[]
How DARE she? How dare she just leave like that?![]
Ryan watched his brother’s obvious agitation and forced composure with fascination.[]
He moved closer, deliberately bumping Blake’s shoulder, voice suggestive and provocative:[]
“Blake, chill out man. Why are you freaking out? Unless… oh shit, you’re not falling for her, are you?” He smirked, deliberately pushing buttons. “I gotta say though, two years of fucking her and I’m definitely addicted. Perfect body, amazing in bed… Since you’re throwing her away anyway, might as well let me have another shot. Waste not, want not, right?“]
Blake’s face instantly went stormy, instinctively and harshly refusing: “Don’t you dare! Stop screwing around!“[]
Ryan was thrown off by the reaction, then grinned mockingly: “Blake, come on man. You’re gonna be with Harper soon. So why do you care about my love life? Madison’s basically trash to you now. I’m just taking out your garbage. What’s the big deal?“]
Elake was left speechless by his argument.]
Jugnt, he was about to be with Harper. Madison was just a chess piece in his plan, a tool to be discarded after use.]
Why should be care? Why should he interfere?
But the strong discomfort and opposition in his chest raged on, finding no reasonable outlet.
He could only suffly repeat: “I said don’t go! You hear me?!“]
Rym waary braying Since childhood, the more Blake forbade something, the more Ryan wanted it.[]
He pulled out his phone, rapidly typing while casually saying: “Relax, bro. Mind your own business. I’m over this college thing anyway–it’s boring. I’ll transfer to her school. Maybe we’ll have some exotic rekindled romance?“]
His tone was flippant, with that predatory, game playing attitude as he started contacting agents for transfer procedures.[]
Blake wairtied his acting so determined, feeling suffocated and frustrated. He could’t find any position or reason to forcibly stop him, could only watch helpdessly as his floyers unconsciously clenched, knuckles cracking sofily (
Desgate the expiralde irritation churning in his chest, blake stuck to his original plan-[]

win.
But why… wasn’t that expected euphoria coming? Instead, there was this strange… emptiness?||
Dating Harper wasn’t as thrilling as he’d imagined.]]
She loved being spoiled and needed his constant attention and care. The smallest thing would make her pout pitifully. He patiently coaxed her, but sometimes found his mind wandering.[]
She was very dependent, wanting him to arrange everything for her.|[]
He did it meticulously, but it felt like completing a series of tasks.
Even when she dressed up pretty and shyly tried to be intimate, something uncomfortably close to… boredom and fatigue flickered in his chest.]]
More terrifyingly, he started uncontrollably comparing Harper to Madison.[]
Harper needed to be treasured constantly, while Madison had always quietly arranged everything, even preparing things he needed in advance;]]
Harper would complain when he was too busy to spend time with her, while Madison never did–she’d just hand him coffee when he was tired and sit quietly with him:]
Harper was shyly passive about intimacy, but he kept thinking about those nights Ryan had described–Madison’s inexperienced but eager responses, her suppressed whimpers when emotional, even the tearful but still gentle look when Ryan occasionally hurt her…[]
Stop!!
Blake cut off those mental images, frowning hard.[]
Why was he thinking about those things? That was Ryan! Not him!
But the irritating, uncontrollable comparisons lingered, making him absent–minded around Harper.[]
Meanwhile, Ryan moved with amazing efficiency, handling all the transfer paperwork in under a week and flying straight to London.]]
He easily found Madison’s school and address.
Carrying a huge bouquet of bright roses, he leaned against her apartment building with what he thought was his most charming pose.
Seeing Madison come out with books, he immediately approached with his cocky, confident grin.]
“Madison- Surprised? I came all this way for you.” He tried to take her hand. “I was wrong before, lying to you. I’m sorry. But my brother’s with Harper now, you re free, and we can start fresh, can’t we? I was the one with you every night these past two years–we know each other best. Be with me,
yeah?”
