Ryan's POV:

"I'll brief you all again. Rey, you will be stationed at Tower C while Vin will be stationed at Tower A. Rey You will watch the person's back while Vin will watch the front." Dwayne instructed as we sat around the map of the area we'll be at, with us fully armed and dressed.

"Noted." Vin and I nodded in acknowledgement before grabbing hold of our snipers to do a final check that it's loaded and with a silencer.

"Good. Chris, you will guard the person from the back of the podium while Arien will blend in with the reporters at the front. I'll be on the stairs of the podium where it's nearer to him. If you guys see anyone suspicious, disarm them and knock then them down. Got it?"

"Yes Sir." Arien replied while Chris just nodded quietly as he pulled on his black leather gloves. He looks so hot in full black. Wait...what the hell am I thinking about? This is not the time to think hot hot he is. I've got to concentrate.

"Great. Now roll out. I expect to see all of you in position in 10. Now go!" Dwayne barked out authoritatively as he tightened the laces of his combat boots before sprinting off to his own position.

Within record time, I raced to my designated place before crouching down low when I reached the rooftop silently with my rifle in hand. Peering down from the edge of the roof, my eyes met Dwayne's as he gave me a quick nod before turning away to make sure that the others are at position too.

"The person will be coming in shortly. Prepare yourselves." Dwayne informed us through our bluetooth earpieces as we sent our acknowledgement back to him.

Minutes later, we received another notice from Dwayne, informing us that the person is entering the area now. Loading my rifle, I laid down on the ground flat as I scanned the area through my scope, giving me a clear bird-eye view of the area from above.

"Everyone, standby in positions now. He's going up on podium." Dwayne informed us once again as I aimed my rifle down towards the podium to the the back of the person's head. I guess I should not aim at him in case I accidentally pull the trigger. Shifting my rifle away from the person's head, I turned it towards the large empty screen which is facing my direction.

Without further ado, the large screen lit up, showing the persons face as he began to speak. "Good Afternoon everyone. I'm Adrian Black, CEO of Black Inc. Thank you for-"

The rest of his words blanked out from my mind as his name and his face raced in my mind, making my head hurt. Clutching my head in anguish, I dropped my rifle on the ground in pain as my head felt like it was going to erupt as memories related to the person came flooding in instantaneously, not giving me any time to process them.

"Are you okay? Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm Adrian. What's your name?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ryan?" He stared up innocently as he held tightly onto my hand.

"Y-Yes?"

"You're beautiful. I like you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I hate him..." Adrian glared darkly at the waiter's back, sending a chill down my spine.

"Why, Young Master?"

"He was flirting with you. You're m-" He stopped mid-sentence before fiddling with his thumbs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you Adrian. For treating me as one of your family."

"No problem beautiful. You're everything to me." He smiled down warmly as he stroked my cheek tenderly with his thumb.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Will you be my boyfriend, Ryan?"

"I...I will."

"Thank you beautiful. You will not regret this."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Can I kiss you?"

"We're in the lift..."

"I'll take that as a yes." Smashing his lips against mine, he slipped his tongue inside my mouth gently but demandingly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Ryan... and Adrian is my boyfriend... He's the one I loved since young when no one was there for me.

"Oops?" Eyeing his fingers, he quickly hid them behind his back in embarrassment.

"They must have hurt. Thanks a lot, Adrian."

"It's nothing. It's my duty as your boyfriend right?" Sigh...this is why I love him so much.

"Give me your hands."

"Why?"

"It's my duty then to make them feel better right?" Holding his hands up using my right, I pressed my lips against every single one of his finger tips before pressing my lips against his gently. "Thank you Adrian. I love you so much."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good...take care, Adrian. I'll be waiting for you to be back."

"I'll see you within a week. I love you, Ryan."

"I love you too, Adrian." Stepping into his embrace, I tilt my head up to stare into Adrian's eyes intensely before pressing my lips against his hard.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay. I'll call you tomorrow morning. Take care of yourself and don't overwork too much okay? Love you, Ryan."

"I will. Love you too, Adrian. Goodnight."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember everything now. From the first time we met to the time before he left. We loved each other deeply but couldn't be together openly. I remember how I ended up there. His dad did that to me. He found out about us.

Unable to stand it any longer, I stood up rashly, taking a deep breath before shouting for Adrian but before I can even shout his name, I felt a gunshot to my thigh, causing me to fall over the ledge due to the sudden instability. Shit. I got distracted.

Adrian's POV:

"Now that I'm done with my speech, I'm going to announce another big thing to the crowd. I'm getting mar-" Before I can even finish my sentence, a female press shrieked in horror, capturing everyone's attention as she pointed at something behind me.

"Someone's going to fall!" Everyone gasped in terror as we caught sight of a man trying to hold onto the ledge of the building as tightly as possible but kept slipping due to the wetness caused by the rain from before.

Not even waiting for anyone to take action, I dashed into the building and up the elevator as the building is freaking 50 stories high. I know that I'm supposed to be the one that's protected but that's not the time for that now. Closing my distance I bent over only to see Ryan staring up with slight panic in his eyes as he stared into my eyes with surprise and relief. He's here. Ryan's actually here!

"Ryan!" Ignoring everyone that ran after me, I bent over the ledge and grabbed hold of both of his arms just as his hands slipped as I struggled to pull him back, the wet surface hindering the action.

"Hi Adrian." He smiled softly as he peered into my eyes. Large arms wrapped around my waist making me turn around to see my hired bodyguard who simply gave me a nod.

"Hold on to me Ryan, I'll pull you up!" I ordered him anxiously as my grip started to slip. No. I can't lose him again. Not after so long. I can't. I finally got him back.

"Adrian?" He called out to me softly as my eyes shot to him immediately.

"Y-Yes?"

"I remembered. I remember everything. I guess I missed the chance to say this but, welcome home Adrian." He says with tears in his eyes as he smiled at me warmly with happiness shining in his eyes.

"I-I'm back, Ryan." Tears welled up in my eyes as I gripped around his wrists even tightly. I'm back. I'm back to your side, Ryan.

"I'm really glad to see you safe." He took a glance behind me to see my bodyguard struggling to get a grip as he slid along the ground, getting closer and closer to the edge. "I love you Adrian, I really do." He says it gently before mouthing a 'Thank you'.

Before I can even comprehend the situation, I felt his hands wrap around my hands before releasing them from his wrists swiftly as he fell backwards down the building with a soft smile on his lips while my bodyguard fell back onto the hard ground with me in his arms due to the sudden loss. No... No no no no no!

"Ryannnnnnn!" 

So.......I may be ending this book by Chapter 50. I realize that the response is not that good already so may I know where did I go wrong at? Is my plot getting boring ,confusing, lame or...? Please feel free to comment :)
