The Son-in-Law's Revenge Against the Elites

Chapter 011 - Honey Trap

A sweet trap. That’s exactly what James has fallen into. The retreat is for his stamina, but he is being trained in the pleasures of bed instead. Which means that Rohan has time for his revenge. Irving is proving himself to be useful to his plans. So useful, in fact, that Rohan gets out of the house because James’ moans of pleasure have become annoying.

Every night, though, Irving still reports to him. He mentions that James is insecure about the power and influence of his mother. He also can’t admit to his mother that he is homosexual.

And at the very few moments he finds them training, Irving always gives him cold water. It’s as if it’s his showing that he cares for James.

“Here,” Irving will say. “You need to hydrate.”

“Oh, thank you,” James responds and accepts the offered water.

However, it will only take an hour. Soon, they are already kissing and making love again. And Rohan is getting a lot of resources. He has already finished a couple of videos and released them to the internet. It’s getting a lot of views and comments. He will upload another soon.

He smirks. Thankfully, homosexuals are not yet widely accepted in the country. James will return to the city with a damaged reputation. Hopefully, his mother will disown him.

Rohan sighs happily. Kyndra said that James Yu is at the bottom of the Twelve Elites. Still, it fills him with the accomplishment that he will destroy one member. If he beats them all, Walton will be alone and he can finally exact his revenge on them.

And so Rohan enters James' room and asks if he can leave early. James allowed it. He smirks. James is really making it so easy for him.

***************

The instant Rohan returned to the city, he sent his resignation, changed locations, and prepared his next set of actions.

Rohan is watching the main branch of Yu’s Gym when James and Irving arrive from the retreat-house-turned-to-love-nest. They might not be touching each other, but the way they look at each other–it is clear that they are in a relationship.

Like Rohan, the press is also waiting for James. They huddle around him, probably asking about those intimate videos he released. James escapes from the media. It doesn’t even take thirty minutes when a crashing sound is heard from James’s office, followed by a bellow. Rohan chuckles alone. James knew!

After a couple more minutes, a furious James comes out, followed by Irving, but he brushes him away. Ha! There goes the sweet, intimate moments they shared at the retreat house.

“Find Rudi!” he screams at Mr. Dugal before he drives off the gym.

When everything quiets down, Rohan climbs down from his hiding place and stands behind one of the journalists.

“You are looking for more videos and pictures?” he asks.

The journalist whirls towards him and scowls at the way he hides his face with a hood and handkerchief.

Rohan gives him the thumb drive. “There is also the picture and video of him taking steroids,” he informs.

“You will not ask for anything in exchange?”

“Send money to this account,” he says, pushing a piece of paper in his hand.

“Okay,” the journalist says as he glances at the documents. “The other competitors will want him to be removed, as this is considered cheating.”

He smiles at the man. That’s what he is hoping for as well.

And so, that night. The news is filled with James and Irving again. This time, there are pictures too. The video shows James and Irving kissing passionately. The reality show has canceled him too due to the steroids issue. Most importantly, there are demonstrations, religious and not, in front of his gym.

And oh! He is enjoying all the comments of the people. Some are calling him evil, and others say that he needs help. It doesn’t matter to him because his revenge is working perfectly.

*************

Rohan pulls himself up the fence into an opulent backyard. Irving is using the swimming pool. Rohan crouches behind the bushes as he watches him finish the lap.

Irving climbs from the pool, his body glistens wetly from the water. He takes a towel from the table and wipes himself with it.

Rohan gets out of his hiding place. “Hello, Irving,” he greets.

He whirls towards him. “Rudi! What are you doing here?!”

Rohan smirks. “You’ve been unavailable since you and James returned from the retreat house.”

Irving walks towards him. There is caution in the way he moves now. 

“Did you change loyalties now, Irving?” he asks.

“I have no loyalty to anyone except to myself,” he retorts.

Rohan nods. “I know that.” He approaches him. “I heard you married James abroad.”

Irving scoffs. “I did. “

He chuckles. “We both know that you will get his inheritance if James dies now.”

“He will not die!”

“Ah, the man-whore got a thing for James now?”

“Are you here to kill him?”

“And why would I do that?”

Rohan takes another step towards him, but Irving retreats. “I don’t want any trouble with you,” Irving says.

“I don’t want any trouble either.”

“James knows that you are the one who spread our sex videos. I told him everything.”

Rohan’s lips curl up, and he dashes towards Irving. He grabs his neck and pulls him up. Irving starts to choke. Rohan wonders if he looks like Kendrick now back when he is abusing him in the Walton estate.

“What did you tell him?” Rohan asks.

“T-that you… are an asshole!”

Rohan laughs. “I am.” He releases him and then punches him in the stomach.

Irving falls to the floor, coughing and gasping for air. “What else?”

“That you are a coward,” he pants. “That you will run away when things get hot.”

Rohan kneels beside him. “But you won’t, right?”

Irving growls. “I also told James that you don’t want him to join the reality contest.”

Ah! He still believes that. Kyndra said to lie to your allies. Thankfully, Rohan heeds that. “You are forgetting one thing.”

“That you want money from him through me.”

Rohan chuckles. “Correct. Now, where is it?”

“I have nothing to give you.”

“I need to break even, Irving. That’s our deal. I will let you meet him and make him fall for you. Then you will get all the money. But in exchange, you will triple what I paid you. That’s what we agreed upon.”

“And how do I know that you won’t ask for more?!” Irving snarls.

Rohan smiles widely. “Because I will run away! After I sent and distribute the sex videos, do you think the Yu family will not run after me?!”

Irving stares at him, deciding if he would trust Rohan’s words again. “Fine,” Irving finally says. “I will send you the money.”

“When?” Rohan asks.

“I will need to ask James. Give me two to three days. I will send it to that place, in cash, like what you’d like.”

Rohan cracks a smile. “Good. I’ll be waiting for you there.”
