Brad's Adventure
by @michellewAn orphaned accounting prodigy hunts the Chinese mafia's Dragon Head to find his missing father, but the bar called The Phantom is just the first step into a world where his real obsession—dominating the powerful older women in his life—becomes his most dangerous ledger.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Brad Bradley
A 20-year-old with sharp, watchful eyes and a lean frame that speaks of long nights studying and working. His clothes are clean but worn, a uniform of faded jeans and thrift-store button-downs, yet he carries himself with a quiet, calculating confidence that belies his circumstances. The numbers in his head are a sanctuary, a world he controls completely—a stark contrast to the one he lives in. He is an orphan. Mother died giving birth, father went missing when he was very young.
John Jones
Brad's 21-year-old best friend, with an easy smile and the relaxed posture of someone who's never wondered where his next meal was coming from. He has the sturdy build of a former high-school athlete gone slightly soft, and his wardrobe is all branded comfort. He's the loyal anchor in Brad's turbulent life, utterly unaware of the specific fantasies Brad harbors about his own home.
Elizabeth Evans
A 36-year-old mathematics professor whose conservative elegance is a fortress—twin sets, knee-length skirts, hair in a severe but elegant bun. She moves through the lecture hall with an exacting grace, her posture perfect, her voice a cool, clear instrument of logic. Yet there's a fleeting, almost imperceptible tension around her eyes, a hint of something starved for chaos behind the pristine facade.
Anna Akinnov
The 35-year-old Russian CEO, a vision of severe beauty with ice-blonde hair swept back and eyes the color of a winter sea. Her tailored suits are armor, her heels weapons. She smells of cold air and expensive perfume, and she moves with the lethal, efficient grace of a predator surveying its territory. Every glance is an assessment, every word a calculated move.
Joanna Jones
John's 38-year-old mother, a British expat with a warm, inviting smile and laugh lines that speak of a happy, settled life. She has a soft, maternal curves and a habit of touching people's arms when she talks. Her home smells of lemon polish and baked goods, a sanctuary of normalcy that, to Brad, feels like a gilded cage he desperately wants to pick open.
Ben Bradley
Brad's uncle, a man in his late 40s worn down by life and regret. He has the same sharp eyes as Brad, but his are clouded with caution and the shadow of old fears. His hands are calloused, his posture perpetually slightly hunched, as if expecting a blow. He smells of cigarette smoke and cheap whiskey, the scent of dead-end advice. His brother, Bill, went missing when Brad was very young.
James Jones
John's father, a genial, distracted man in his early 40s with a kind face and a receding hairline. He's perpetually slightly rumpled, more comfortable with spreadsheets and lawn care than with the complex emotional currents in his own home. His presence is the benign backdrop against which Brad's fantasy about Joanna plays out.
Cathy Chen
32 years old, Beautiful and elegant, but with deadly martial art skills, and a cold heart.
Sylvia Smith
Sylvia is an FBI special agent investigating the Chinese triad The Green Dragon.

Whispers and Wanting
John and Brad were having a casual conversation at The Phantom. The conversation was around women, and John indicated he has an interest, a young woman in his class. Brad announced he liked older women, like their math professor, or the bitchy CEO at his office. John laughed, stating these were women out of Brad's league. But he did nod towards a woman sitting at the end of the bar, an petite Chinese woman alone at a bar like this, probably looking for some fun. Brad looked, and stated she looked too young to his liking.
Chapter 2: The Encounter
Brad finally managed to stutter an answer, wondering if he could sit with her. He secretly cursed himself for being "smooth". The woman coldly nodded. He ordered a drink for himself and for the woman. Even when he ordered, he could feel the woman's eyes never left him. When he turned back, he gathered his courage, and told her she looked stunning. She extended her hand to shake his, introducing herself as Cathy. Brad introduced himself, and was in awe by Cathy's composure and her look. He complimented her eyes clumsily, and cursed himself again. Cathy showed a smile, one that looked odd against her serious face, as she questioned why he was so nervous. Brad indicated she was just too intimidating. Cathy took a sip of her drink and casually asked if he wanted to fuck her. Brad was taken aback by her bluntness, but admired her confident even more. He said he usually was interested in older women, but Cathy simply was too stunning. Cathy asked if 32 years old was old enough. Brad simply looked at her in disbelief, and stated she looked 25. Cathy let out a hearty laugh, her ice seemingly melting. (The scene ends after Cathy's laugh, the two casually chatted. Wait for the next plot here)
Chapter 3: The Discoveries
The next morning Brad woke up first, but Cathy was still sleeping, head on his bicep. He gently slide his arm from under Cathy's head. Cathy stirred but didn't wake up. Brad used Cathy's shower in her ensuite bathroom. When he emerged, Cathy was again working on a tablet. Brad was curious, asking what Cathy was working on. Cathy looked at Brad, her first response was none of his business. Brad realized the cold Cathy was back, and the cuddling Cathy was gone. He got dressed, but could feel Cathy's cold eyes on him. After he was dressed and about to leave, Cathy handed him the tablet, and asked him to see if he could pinpoint what was wrong with the spreadsheet. Brad took the tablet, and saw it was a series of financial transactions. Everything looked normal. It took him some time to see a chain of transactions buried in thousands of lines to make the connection, and he was pretty certain no one else could have spotted it. He showed Cathy the chain of transactions scattered across the spreadsheet, a total of 16 transactions, and said these were the problems. Cathy looked, but still didn't understand. Brad explained, untrained eyes, even with trained eyes, these look very normal. But they were wrong. Not only were the accounts credited and debited being incorrect, but the amount was also off. Cathy looked more closely, tracing the chain following Brad's lead, and eventually saw what he saw. She nodded, and said thank you in her cold way. Brad took it as a hint for him to leave. (The scene ends after Brad returned to his rented room, no longer minding about the transactions. Wait for the next plot here. Do not mention Cathy being The Dragon Head)
Chapter 4: The Plans
Brad spent the rest of Saturday resting his body, but his mind raced. He now got more information about the three women. There was definitely something fishy going on at Anna's company. Behind professor Evans' proper lady-like behaviour, stern education and conservative clothes was sexual needs Elizabeth yearned to satisfy. John's mother, Joanna, was an ex-porn star. He didn't think he would have a chance with any of these successful and commanding women before, but now he had a little bit of hope. Although information was useful, but it required planning. One wrong move and he could be in trouble. Fired at work, kicked out of school, lose his best friend, or a combination of these. He slept and decided to figure things out tomorrow. (The scene ends after Brad fell asleep. Wait for the next plot here)
Chapter 5: The Execution
That night Brad arrived home. As he was about to head to bed, his phone chimed. He checked, and was excited to see the professor had paired the chastity device, registered her email address on his fake server. He waited a few minutes then the app popped up a message, stating the device was now worn by the user. Knowing the key included for the lock was fake, he now held the only key to unlock the device. The instruction manual stated no user control was necessary as the device should sense Elizabeth's needs and activate as needed, but in reality, Brad could control the device. He'd suspect after wearing the device Elizabeth would be horny, thus he activated the vibration to low, seemingly "responding" to Elizabeth's needs. Elizabeth would feel low vibration on her clit. It'd stop after a few minutes, since Brad had to go to sleep. Elizabeth would be left in a somewhat aroused state, but no orgasm. (The scene ends after Brad fell asleep. Wait for the next plot here)
