The running away route is coming! There will be time that he can be successfully escaped!
I am routing for Ray! I don’t hate ML. If you read more BL, you will be used to it since this kind of behavior just typical possessive Top. Of cause it’s red flags if we use logic but this is fiction so in this level to me it still acceptable and not too bad comparing from other black flags I would say. Anyway, it’s true Ray has been convenient and comfortable in everything, plus living as luxury but it’s not what he wants. It’s not normal at all to have chains on his legs all the time. He was treated as a pet. No matter what how luxurious his living is it’s not really normal life as he needs. Nobody wants to be chaining for the rest of their life. Freedom is something that everyone want.
