Kitmond Stocks By @jujymikey
Kit Archer is Raymond's ex-wife, whom he still loves deeply even though they have been divorced two years before 4.0. Initially hesitant to rekindle their relationship due to fear of another heartbreak, Raymond eventually found himself trying with Kit again. However, due to Raymond's fear, their relationship status remained ambiguous, where they are now "together" and dating exclusively but maintained they are "not in a relationship". Their time together are full of ups and downs, mostly due Raymond's lack of commitment and Kit's insecurities. Despite their future remains unclear at the moment, their love for each other is undeniable. They both care and support each other in every step of the way. The only thing that seems to be missing in their relationship is an official label.

When they were still together, they were inseparable and seemed to be "end game". They had helped each other grow into better people: Raymond became more caring and kinder, and Kit built up her self-confidence and belief in her abilities. Unfortunately, their relationship began to suffer sometime during the time skip when a financial crisis hit Los Santos, and it did not survive.
Two years into their marriage, Raymond lost his moral compass as he was forced to take on more violent jobs to preserve what he had built. This caused strain on their relationship as Kit could not deal with seeing the man she loved slowly fade away. After her sister, Charlotte, passed away, Kit reverted to her old habit and tried to run away. Being overly focused on the fight for R.U.S.T's survival, Raymond had forgotten to fight for their relationship, causing them to drift apart. Kit divorced Raymond, quit her job and returned to Minnesota. Her absence alongside R.U.S.T's inevitable collapse, pulled Raymond into a rabbit hole so deep that his life had almost fallen apart. Fortunately, he survived, and he promised himself to never be in that position ever again.
A few years had passed before Kit returned to Los Santos. During their heartfelt conversation, they admitted that they regretted giving up on their marriage so easily when things got tough. Kit wished that she had not left, and Raymond wished that he had stopped her from doing so all those years ago. Although their marriage had ended a while ago, it was clear that they still cared and loved each other very much. However, Raymond ultimately chose to let her go again because he didn't want to go through the pain again if she decided to leave after they got back together again.
Is this the end?

"Knock, Knock." "Who's there?" "Owl" "Owl who?" "I'll always love you." By @outiie.
For a while, Kit and Raymond were on their awkward phase, or at least Raymond was. They tried to move on with their lives as they turned their attention towards advancing their careers and stopped contacting each other. Kit went on a few dates here and there, only to realise that she had not moved on from their marriage and she was still in love with Raymond. On the flip side, encountering Kit again after all these years made it incredibly challenging for Raymond to move forward with his life. It was clear that he still harboured lingering feelings for her, as he would express affectionate gestures towards her before abruptly restraining himself and distancing from her each time. In all of his encounters with Kit, he would compliment her fits and how she looked, just like how he used to back when they were together.

Meanwhile, words were getting around that Raymond and Kit's marriage ended and Raymond's friends and exes, most notably Benji Ramos, Yuno Sykk, Ricardo Valdez and Juno Sweeney, began to "stir" and gaslighted both of them, upsetting Kit in the process. No longer able to deal with the constant provoking, Kit met up with Raymond, hoping that he could put the hurtful comments to a stop. Their talk went a bit further than expected and they began hanging out again ever since.

It was obvious that Raymond wanted to try again with Kit but he was afraid to get hurt again and that his primary focus was the The Company. He wanted to take things slow with her and just hang out and chill without putting a label on their relationship. So, whenever Kit raised questions about their relationship status, Raymond would deflect them and often say and do "sweet" and "cute" things for her to make amends with her. Consequently, he had been sending mixed messages to Kit unintentionally about his intentions with her. In addition to all of it, the fake "sex party" to help Jean "JP" Paul and the "stirs" from all their friends and colleagues certainly did not help either. To make matters worse, the conflict between The Company and Cypress shifted more of his focus away from his relationship with Kit, consequently the tension between them grew in their journey back together.
Ray called Kit to a fake "sex party" to uncuff JP after escaping an arrest.
In many instances, while they were hanging out, Raymond spent most of the time on the phone and was forced to leave early to assist his boys, making Kit extremely upset. In an attempt to cheer her up after the conflict had ended, Raymond tried to give Kit the “local” PD bike that he and JP found and talked to her outside of MRPD. Kit expressed how she is tired of the empty promises and all the "see you around"s. She also felt that they didn’t have much in common anymore and there was nothing much to talk about. Raymond explained everything that’s been going on and how his life had been in danger, but he had been trying his best. He apologized about how he hadn’t been able to hang out with her and how he failed to see things from her perspective. He also addressed the awkward tension between them that they needed to get through. However, Kit expressed that there was no point in trying and that she wasn't a priority for him. She also mentioned that there was nothing to apologize for because they weren't even officially together, and it had begun to feel like they weren’t even friends anymore. In the end, Raymond promised to make it up to her. Although she had reluctantly agreed to let him try again, Kit said that she couldn’t trust him anymore and she wasn’t going to keep her hopes up.

Chapter 4: Some Things Just Figure Out By Themselves
Secret "Sun-Ray" with Kit.
After Kit returned from her trip, Raymond whisked her away for a day of adventures to cheer her up after sensing her melancholy and to make up for all his recent shortcomings just like he promised. Their first stop was at the Hardwood & Lumber Supply at Murrieta Heights where Raymond patiently taught her how to ride her newly purchased manual motorcycle, the Daemon. Despite a few wobbles and falls, Kit eventually got the hang of it, thanks to his encouragement. Throughout the day, they vented about the frustrations of the "One-Child Act". Raymond, being optimistic, suggested a ludicrous idea of a "Child Battle Royale Game Show", seeing it as a potential money-making opportunity, much to Kit's amusement and disbelief because Maxine Celsius, her only child whom she shares with Raymond will be involved.

They also customized Raymond's first company car together and drove around the island in it. Their day took an unexpected turn when they stumbled upon the SDSO PD. Feeling mischievous, they sneaked inside and playfully explored the building, reminiscing about their past "Sun-Ray" meetings and the motivational speeches he used to give. They ended the day joining Yuno on a Gruppe 6 job. While on the job, Yuno, sensing their need for alone time, trapped them in the vault under the guise of a malfunction. Alone in the vault, they talked, laughed, flirted, and simply enjoyed each other's company. It was a much-needed moment of peace and connection. As they finally emerged from the vault, they exchanged knowing glances, silently acknowledging the progress they had made in their relationship. It had been a good day, and they both felt hopeful for the future.

Chapter 5: The Betrayal
Some things don’t change By @jujymikey.
In a shocking turn of events, JP, once a trusted board member of The Company and Raymond's friend, committed an act of betrayal by stealing a staggering 80% of The Company's assets. The news hit Raymond like a ton of bricks, prompting him to confide in Kit, his closest "friend" and confidante. Raymond, visibly shaken and emotionally drained, told her that the anger and sadness he felt was almost as bad as when his marriage with her went down the drain, ranking it as the second worst feeling he's ever had. Kit, with her unwavering support, held him close, offering a shoulder to lean on during his time of need. But Kit's role didn't end there. Determined to right the wrongs inflicted upon him and to help him get back on his feet, she also helped him pursue legal avenues through the PD to help him reclaim what was rightfully his. Meanwhile, JP, undeterred by his previous treachery, brazenly attempted another audacious scheme – the "Wife Heist". However, Kit, with her keen instincts, remained vigilant and alerted Raymond to JP's deceitful intentions. Despite the challenges they encountered, it seemed like they would pull through after all.
With the chaos of the past now a distant memory, Raymond and Kit found their relationship flourishing. Initially, the unexpected reappearance of Tilly Winters, Kit's half-sister, seemed like it could pose a challenge to their bond. However, Tilly's attempts to "stir" things up only served to bring Raymond and Kit closer together. And finally, after months of uncertainty and playful banter, they confirmed that they were dating but "not together". One day, Kit mentioned that she wanted to decorate her apartment, and Ray eagerly offered to help. They spent a fun day picking out furniture and decorations and even went to Jack Kettleman's furniture showroom to find the perfect pieces. Raymond even bought her a TV so they could "watch movies" together, though they both knew it was just an excuse to spend more time together. Soon, Ray would find himself spending many nights at Kit's apartment, practically moving in without even realizing it. above all of it, despite his initial hesitations, Raymond had trusted Kit enough to show her The Company's house and even part of the basement, revealing a deeper level of intimacy in their relationship.

As Valentine's Day approached, and it also happened to be Raymond's birthday, Raymond and Kit exchanged thoughtful gifts and went to The Company's Valentine's event at Bahama Mamas West together. On top of it all, Raymond had supported Kit through a tough time at her work, making himself available for her to vent, encouraging her and caring for her. When Kit was injured on duty and had to be placed in the ICU, Raymond was seen running around trying to find out about her well-being. Their relationship continued to deepen and evolve, filled with laughter, love, and plenty of movie nights on the couch. Ray and Kit were happier than ever, grateful to have found each other and excited for whatever the future held for them.

Chapter 7: Breaking Point

While Raymond was hanging out with a couple of friends, he paid Kit an impromptu visit to see her bike. Everything was going well until January Fooze, Benji Ramos and Karl Johnny "KJ" Black suggested to go "Ghost Hunting", aka. chopping vehicles, which Kit could not involve herself in. Raymond initially wanted to go with them but changed his mind to spend some time alone with Kit after learning how upset she got. Although Kit's mood had gotten better throughout their date and they even confirmed that were dating exclusively, the damage had already been done. The following day, right after Maximilian Thoroughbred and Siobhan Fitzpatrick's wedding, Kit told Raymond about how bad she felt on that day because she thought that she was forcing him to hang out with her when he was more interested in spending time with his friends. She also told him that she had felt like an obligation to him, and she did not want to be one to him. Although it was not meant to be a "throw", Raymond told her that she was, in fact, an obligation but only because she was his priority, which lightened her mood a little.
However, just like every other time, Raymond "Throwmanov" struck again but this time he may have overcooked it and burnt the bridge between them. In what was planned as an intimate Mosley's work date for just the two of them a few days later, Kit found herself feeling frustrated and unimportant as Raymond began inviting others to join. What was supposed to be a bonding moment turned into a group outing, so Kit made up an excuse and left the gathering abruptly. Unable to shake off her feelings of disappointment and disillusionment while being away, Kit finally made the difficult decision to call Raymond and break things off. Raymond attempted to call her back twice after that but she rejected each time.

While being apart, Kit realised that ending things over the phone was unfair to what they had, and Raymond deserved more than that. They eventually met up to talk about what had gone wrong between them. Kit communicated about her frustrations with his tendency to involve others in their personal time. She also told him that she felt like a second choice in his life and that he would only check in or hang out with her when no one else was around. Raymond told her that he did not know that she was feeling those things and thought that they were doing great. He apologised for making her feel those things to the point she wanted a breakup. Kit also apologised for her lack of communication and that she had been keeping her issues inside out of fear of making him feel bad or pressured. She also admitted that she was having a temper tantrum when she wanted to break up with him over the phone. At the end of the talk, Kitmond was steered back on track, and they promised to work on their communication together.

Chapter 9: Love Never Fails
Raymond and Kit visiting the Memorial Park.
Since getting back together, Raymond and Kit have been communicating better. Raymond had started paying more attention to Kit's well-being, often checking in with her to see how her day was going. As they spent more time together, it became evident that their love hadn't faded over the years. Their interactions had been adorable and flirtatious, with both showing a lot of affection for one another. They went to the Wu Chang Block Party on Grove Street and the trivia night at the newly opened Memorial Park together as a couple. Throughout the weeks, they had been hinting at the idea of making their relationship official. Raymond had been subtly nudging the boundaries of their undefined relationship, playfully joking about Perez and Skye's being "more" than them, or teasingly complimenting Kit looking good with a ring, and then came the sly suggestions of marriage, met with Kit's giggle, unanswered but not entirely dismissed.
During one of their hunting dates, Raymond brought up a sensitive topic: his invite to Eli Lum's Dating Show. He wanted to press Kit slightly and to see her reaction to the topic at hand but had no intention of participating in the show because of his love and respect for her. Throughout their date, she consistently agreed to let him join the show hesitantly, but her true feelings of jealousy soon became apparent at the end. Sensing the tension, Raymond explained his true intentions, wanting to reassure Kit of his feelings. Kit admitted her hurt and frustration, saying that she was "mad" at him, as she revealed her true emotions. Raymond, attempting to coax her back into a good mood, offered her a ride home, which she poutingly refused initially before folding to him one whole second later and accepting the ride. While on the road, Raymond comforted Kit by "buttering [her] up" with gentle and sweet words and gestures. He even took "wrong" turns and "accidentally" jumped out of a moving vehicle just so they could spend more time together. They ended their day in Kit's apartment, both feeling a sense of joy and intimacy, savouring every moment of each other's company.

Chapter 10: Uncharted Territory
It has been almost three months since they decided to give their relationship another shot. Kit and Raymond found themselves in a much better place than they were after their recent breakup, but they were still in their "not together" phase. However, Kit's insecurities slowly resurfaced, leading to a tantrum during a date fuelled by her fear of uncertainty and lack of assurance regarding their relationship status. She told him that their vibe had been off recently as if they were not on the page most of the time. Raymond did his best to reassure her, explaining that it was primarily due to their recent lack of interaction because of his trip out of town. Although not communicated to him directly, Kit felt that Raymond's reluctance to label their relationship meant there was something wrong with her.

Realising her mistake and acknowledging that she hadn't communicated her feelings to him, Kit reached out to apologise and initiate a conversation. She opened up about her insecurities, explaining that the months-long dating phase was unfamiliar territory for her, as their relationship had progressed quickly from dating to marriage in the past. During their talk, Raymond confessed that he was still afraid. Even though he did not elaborate on its specifics, his fear stemmed from the idea of losing her again, as she had left him just a few weeks ago. However, again not communicated to her directly, he had begun to notice Kit's determination to make things work over the past few months. He recognised her remarkable strength in confronting challenges head-on instead of opting for the easier route of avoidance. Raymond concluded their heartfelt talk by asking Kit to be his date for the upcoming My Criminal Academia prom, to which she happily agreed. Before she left, she asked him for a hug, just like how she would once upon a time.

At the prom, they enjoyed each other's company, mingling and dancing together. As they shared a tender moment towards the end, an urgent company matter interrupted, but not before Raymond expressed his happiness with where he was at in his new life and with Kit being there with him. Despite enjoying a few moments of tenderness and connection at the prom, Raymond had spent the majority of the time socializing away from her. While Kit tried to be understanding, she couldn't shake the feeling of being sidelined yet again. As the day progressed, her insecurities resurfaced, leading her to question Raymond's commitment and her place in their "relationship". Although none of it was mentioned to Raymond directly, Kit told Skye in a conversation that was already feeling exhausted from constantly needing to talk about their issues. She was not sure Raymond truly cared about her anymore and despite her love for him, she was beginning to anticipate the end of their relationship. However, she remained open to continue trying if Raymond showed genuine effort and desire to make things work.
Chapter 11: The Good, The Bad and Everything in Between
Happy Easter!!
Not long after the conversation with Skye, Raymond and Kit spent a delightful day together, starting with a shopping date where Raymond admired her new outfits, including her "Sl*tty Bunny" outfit for Easter. They even decided on matching Easter outfits, adding a touch of fun to their plans. After getting some food together at the newly opened food stores, they met up with Ellie and headed to the Liquid Library for a photo shoot. Then they ended their date doing some Mosley's together. Throughout the date, Raymond showered Kit with affection, being extra cute and sweet, making her incredibly happy. Ever since that day, Raymond had been nothing short but sweet and supportive towards Kit. He spent more time with her, doing Mosley's, going on hunting trips, going to the Campany and spending the weekend together at the cabins after. He also made yoga mats for her, bought and installed a turbo for her bike and took her to the carnival and even did tarot readings with her despite never believing in them. Above it all, during a conversation he had with Perez, Raymond mentioned that his initial fear of Kit leaving him again had already faded away. They grew more comfortable with each other, their relationship blossomed, deepening with each passing day.

Despite them being in a good place, life had its own trials in store for them. Kit stepped down from Senior Officer, her confidence shaken by the whispers behind her back. Raymond, too, encountered setbacks as The Company dissolved due to internal conflicts while he was away in Korea for a week. Despite the trials, they found solace in each other's unwavering support. Raymond stood by Kit, offering encouragement and a listening ear as she navigated the uncertainty of her career. Similarly, Kit became Raymond's rock, providing reassurance and love while he began his journey to rediscover his purpose. In the midst of life's challenges, they carved out moments of joy and intimacy, cherishing the simple pleasures of spending quality time together.

Chapter 12: A New Beginning
Kit has quit the force and doing crime with Ray. By @jujymikey.
After Kit quit the force, Raymond and Kit's life began to stabilize again and their relationship improved significantly. Kit dabbled into a few criminal activities, such as chopping cars, roof running, and weed runs, with help from Raymond and Ellie Fletch. During that time, she discovered a newfound passion for farming after Raymond introduced her to Reggie Might and Billy Thorne. A few days later, Ellie bought a warehouse for her and Kit and they started a farming business together. Kit also obtained a bar license and became a lawyer. Meanwhile, Raymond and Benji Ramos decided to pool their resources together and founded Hades. With Kit no longer an officer, Raymond could speak freely about anything. As a result, Kit gained a clearer understanding of what was happening in Raymond's life and the communication between them improved. Kit was initially hesitant about joining Hades, particularly because Raymond was involved. However, as she grew closer to Reggie and Billy through their farming work, she began to feel more integrated. Ultimately, she chose to join Hades as an Associate, influenced by Raymond’s and others' desire for her to be part of the group. Raymond glazed Kit on her work and achievements at every chance he had and they were very supportive and protective of each other. They grew closer to each other as they navigated their new ventures together.

Chapter 13: True Colours
Kitmond shareholders POV waiting for "the talk".
During a conversation with Raymond, Kit mentioned that she was considering asking Ellie Fletch for her share of the profit from their business, given they no longer needed a new warehouse. As usual, Kit felt awkward approaching the subject. Raymond, ever the supportive partner, encouraged Kit to confront her fears and pressed her to get the money. Tensions escalated when Raymond, in a moment of playful teasing, inadvertently offended Ellie while teasing Kit about how she would not spend her money as Ellie did. This led to a heated phone call between Raymond and Ellie, leading to a confrontation between Kit and Ellie. Ellie felt her trust had been betrayed after discovering the extent of what Kit had shared with Raymond, including details about their business. Angry and hurt, Ellie repeatedly criticized Raymond and dragged Kit and Raymond’s relationship into the argument, making Kit feel both attacked and manipulated.

Despite the emotional turmoil, Kit showed significant personal growth by standing her ground during the confrontation. She defended both Raymond and their relationship with unwavering resolve, even as Ellie’s criticisms intensified. As a result, Kit lost a close friend and her business partnership with Ellie, but she emerged stronger and more mature. During this period, Raymond and Hades provided Kit with crucial support and reassurance. Raymond also entrusted her with overseeing the gang’s growing operation. Furthermore, despite the potential benefits to the gang, Raymond supported Kit's decision to decline an opportunity to become Nino Chavez’s Chief of Staff. He understood that she was feeling overwhelmed and was enjoying her work as a lawyer. Raymond emphasized that her happiness was his priority, reassuring her that he would always be available to talk whenever she needed.

Chapter 14: The Family We Choose
Hades By @jujymikey.
After losing her best friend, Kit started hanging out with Hades more frequently. She also bought storefronts to continue her farming endeavors before Hades purchased a warehouse in Paleto Bay and offered her a space to farm and oversee their Moonshine growing operation. Meanwhile, with Hades going through wars against Black Lotus and The Saints, and her busy schedule, Kit and Raymond did not have many opportunities to hang out as much as they would have liked. However, the limited time that they had together helped Kit realise the complexities of his role as a gang leader—something he had previously shielded her from to keep her safe.
Kit: "We are NOT a triangle!!!"
When the wars ended, Kit was offered to be a Full Member of Hades, backed by Raymond and Reggie Might. She initially rejected the promotion mainly due to the "Rayden" jokes that arose during the wars about Raymond's chemistry with Jayden "IRS" Dennis, which made her feel disrespected. She also felt undeserving of the promotion because of her newfound obligations outside Los Santos. However, upon learning all of it, Raymond apologized and assured her of her value to the gang, and with encouragement from Marlo Stanfield and Benji Ramos, Kit realized that Raymond wanted her in Hades because he saw her as his family. She ultimately accepted the promotion. Meanwhile, Raymond had been shutting down any jokes that could hurt Kit and made sure other members of the gang refrained from stirring her again, especially if it was about their relationship. Kit also confirmed that she wanted to end her lawyer arc soon and start committing crimes with Hades. Raymond was very supportive of it and promised to involve her in any activity she wanted and to teach her everything she needed to know.

Chapter 15: The Power "Not" Couple
Donating to the Kitmond shareholders fund. By @VILZ.
After stepping back from taking on big court cases, Kit began delving into more crimes, particularly as more members of Hades started picking up farming. She shifted her focus to crimes, beginning with Roof Running. She began spending more time with Marlo Stanfield, who showed her the ropes as the two began to develop a close friendship. They even started a funny "bit" where Kit made Marlo pay her a crisp 20-dollar bill for each AC unit she came across—a sum far below their actual worth, making it seem as if Marlo was scamming her. Whenever Raymond was free, he would join Kit in place of Marlo, and they would "woof run" together. Kit waited for Raymond to bring her on her first moonshine runs and boosting jobs, which he did, because he was the only person she truly felt safe with and trusted to always get her out of sticky situations. During these moments, Raymond would also throw cute, supportive comments her way, cheering her on as she completed her jobs.
Kitmond Woof Running Date.
During the Wu-Chang Masquerade Party, Benji Ramos tried to stir trouble by telling Kit that Raymond had brought Darcy Lane, one of the women Benji was interested in at the time, as his date to the party and slept with her afterward. However, Raymond only brought Lane there to interrupt Benji's date with Claire Miles. Kit did not believe Benji because she knew Raymond had always been a loyal partner to her. Instead, she teamed up with Raymond to turn the tables, pretending to be upset with Raymond for allowing Benji to interfere in their relationship, all part of a playful scheme to crash Benji out.
While Kit and Raymond were spending some time together, they ran into Louis Blanc, who prompted a conversation about their relationship when asking about it. This interaction triggered Kit's lingering insecurities, especially when Raymond was still hesitant to fully commit to the relationship. However, he reassured Kit that he was committed to only her, but his ambiguity left Kit feeling uneasy. To avoid getting cornered, he claimed that they were "together" but still insisting they were not in a relationship. Things seemed to be fine until the emergence of Tiffany Barbosa. Tiffany tried to seduce Raymond and was doing so publicly on Twatter caught Kit off guard. Already upset about how their relationship had been stagnant for the past 9 months with no signs of progression, Kit’s insecurities resurfaced, and she crashed out.
Kitmond as Barbie and Ken.
Kit eventually opened up to Raymond, expressing her frustration and being upset at herself that she would even think that Raymond would be involved with another woman even though she knew that he would never. Kit went on to tell Raymond that they were not truly together and that he was essentially single because they were not in a relationship. Raymond reassured her again, stating that they were indeed together, and he was not single. He also mentioned that he could not be in a relationship at the moment because he did not want to risk getting hurt again. During the conversation, Kit also shared how much their divorce had hurt her and how she has been pouring everything she had—her money, sweat, and tears—into helping Hades thrive, fearing it might end up just like R.U.S.T did, which started the chain of events that had led to the downfall of their marriage. They also spoke about the broken trust between them, with Raymond assuring her that it would take time, but it could be rebuilt. After the talk, Kit seemed to have calmed down, stating that she will be fine and mentioning she just needed time to work through her feelings. They spent some much-needed quality time together and they had a "Barbie and Ken" day a few days later. However, even before this latest episode, Kit's unresolved insecurities and Raymond's reluctance to fully commit to their relationship again have fueled questions about whether Kitmond is living on borrowed time.
Timeline: Sep 29, 2024 Onwards.
Previous
This section is not going to be filled any time soon. Raymond and Kit Archer will just fold to each other and get back together within two days after each breakup.
Yuno is the closest friend Raymond has since the beginning and the days of the Cleanbois. They had always been known to be the "helmet-twins". They always had each other's back even during the toughest of times. Yuno had always chosen to back Raymond during his past conflicts both with Mickey and with Lang during R.U.S.T's "Infinity War" against Cerberus. There is still no love lost between them even after all these years.
Benji is one of Raymond's most trusted friends. They are both former leaders of their gangs in the past, Raymond of R.U.S.T and Benji of Seaside. Their bonds began to form when their gangs allied and only strengthened after deciding to work together.
Mickey is one of Raymond's closest friends. They met each other on Raymond's first day and became friends almost immediately. Their relationship had many ups and downs in the past, where Mickey is like Raymond's annoying little brother and Raymond almost killed him because of how he acted. After the time skip, they mended their relationship and grew close to each other after working together.
Ginger Ale was one of The Company's most trusted assets and one of the people Raymond liked working with. Due to her relationship with the former CEO, Jean Paul, Raymond and most of the trusted members of The Company cut ties with her and forced her out of The Company because they could no longer trust her after JP had just betrayed them. Although Raymond initially planned to seek vengeance by hurting Ginger, he has not gone through with it until today. Raymond seemed to have already moved on from his hatred of Ginger and both were seen greeting each other at Maximilian Thoroughbred and Siobhan Fitzpatrick's wedding.
Marty Banks was one of the founders of The Company and one of Raymond's most trusted friends. Their relationship began spiralling downhill after Marty attempted to expose Jean "JP" Paul and his plans to betray The Company, a prophecy JP eventually fulfilled. After Marty had left The Company on good terms, Raymond and many members of The Company remained their friendliness and had even spent time together. However, Raymond caught Marty helping JP after JP had just betrayed The Company by sneaking into the trunk of Marty's vehicle. The uncertainty of trust hung heavy between them, leaving the future of their relationship shrouded in doubt.
Outto-Tune Tyrone (OTT) was one of Raymond's most trusted friends. They mended their relationship during the early days of 4.0 when they were part of The Company. After The Company dissolved, OTT held a grudge against Raymond and the other Board Members for how he was treated. Their relationship eventually turned sour again after a war broke out between Hades and Black Lotus, with OTT playing a huge part in it.
Initially seen as a friend and a trusted partner in crime, Jean "JP" Paul had betrayed Raymond and members of The Company by stealing almost 80% of their assets before leaving them. This is seen as a severe breach of trust in Raymond's eyes as he no longer trusts the man he once called "family". Above it all, JP had even attempted the "Wife Heist" on Kit Archer, Raymond's ex-wife and the person he was "dating" at the time, but to no avail. Their relationship is beyond reparable at this point.
