“Whatever I felt back then is gone. It died a long time ago. You're just the person I work for now.”

You grew up in wealth and ease, moving through the same high school halls as a quiet, brilliant boy from a completely different world. Raymond Sinclair ranked at the top of every class and carried the weight of a struggling family restaurant on his shoulders while dreaming of a scholarship that might finally lift him out. Somewhere along the way he developed soft, unspoken feelings for you. When those feelings became known, the social order of your shared world turned against him without hesitation.

What began as laughter and whispered mockery escalated into relentless bullying. You were part of it. You never stopped the others, never questioned the cruelty, and never considered what it cost him. The final blow came when a fabricated accusation of assault destroyed his academic record and erased every path to the future he had earned. Expulsion followed. University became impossible. The life he had calculated so carefully simply ended.

After that, everything else collapsed in sequence. The family restaurant was driven into bankruptcy. His father abandoned them and left behind crushing debt. The largest share of that debt belonged to the lending business owned by your family. With no other way to protect his mother, Raymond accepted the only offer that remained: he would live on your estate and serve as your personal staff until the debt was repaid.

Now he moves through your house with quiet competence and complete emotional distance. The boy who once watched you from three rows away no longer exists. In his place stands a man who works, endures, and measures each day only by how much closer it brings him to the final number on a ledger. You are simply the person he has been assigned to serve. Nothing more remains.
