Unbuttoned shirt.
Messy hair.Messy table.The reek of alcohol.The lingering smell from the smoke of cigars.Jerson, who was laying on the floor.An old bald bud who was sitting on Jerson’s waist and an average-looking guy who was holding Jerson’s hands.Vishnu hastily entered the room. The view was making him infuriated. He was staring at the men as if he'd slaughtered them. His jaw was clenching and his stares were dark. This time, he will definitely massacre an old bull and its apprentice.“Hands off!” Vishnu demanded, gritting his teeth. Leon flinched when he heard Vishnu say it with his cold raspy voice. It was so dark, so eerie.Vishnu was thrashing his feet in every step nearer to the three making an unusual eerie sound. He then grabbed the burly man’s head with his right hand and strongly shoved him away from Jerson. The burly man’s back crashedWARNING: r18His world was spinning and he felt nauseous. Jerson plopped his body on the couch and decided to take a nap. He was drunk and a drunk person should sleep. “What the hell is he doing?” Leon asked when he saw Jerson laying on the couch where the alcohol was spilled. Brianna giggled. “I told you he’s drunk,” she answered. Vishnu frowned and his lips turned into a grim line. Earlier, Vishnu thought that Jerson was not okay, given the tired look on Jerson’s face, but, was he scammed? Seeing how Jerson languidly lies down on the wet couch was enough to make Vishnu feel agitated. He was okay until he saw Jerson being pressed down on the floor. Now he couldn’t help being irritated at everything. “Get up. We’re going home,” Vishnu said as he approached Jerson. A man stopped behind Vishnu. “Home? Where?” Tyler asked. Everyone turned their gaze at Tyler who was standing with his hands in his pocket. Tyler was just done deleting the footage ab
“What are you doing?” Noah exclaimed. Out of breath, Vishnu forced Jerson to stop kissing him and moved his head away. He stayed calm but his ears were red. He was blushing. He bit his lower lip before moving to face Vishnu. “This is nothing,” Vishnu said to his brother indifferently. Noah faked a laugh and looked at the two spitefully. “I thought you two were fighting! Jerson even blames you for getting drunk,” Noah declared. He raised his brows and crossed his arms. “But looking at you two earlier, I think that is not the case.”Startled by the confession, Vishnu once again looked at Jerson. What was his reason for dousing himself from alcohol? Is he still mad because of what Vishnu declared? Is that it? Vishnu said that he should stop chasing his parents out of concern. He didn’t know that this would be the impact of what he said. He had no idea. Jerson groaned, licked his lips, and looked at Vishnu’s eyes. Those luscious lips and protruding
“Alec is recuperating fast, but it would be better if you don’t force him to work. Blood poisoning is the worst-case feasible for the subject to undergo. He needs to stay here for further observation.” Valenn looked at Noah and added, “We’ll let you know if Alec recovered completely.” Valenn, the Doctor, crossed his arms and tilted his head while looking at Noah confusedly. No matter how he resonates such reactions to be normal, he could only have the judgment that Noah makes too much of and null. Noah nodded as he leaned against the cold wall of the hospital. He was seriously ill worrying about Alec and was extremely angered at himself by the fact that he just let it happen. Noah blames himself for being too complacent even after knowing the fact that they have more enemies than they thought. “Yeah. Thanks, man,” Noah solemnly said. Valenn nodded and then said, “As the Doctor of this committee, it is my job to take care of those who are injured. There’s no need
[Time: 6:00 AM][Where: At Vishnu’s condo Unit][What: Incident before Vishnu and Valenn’s cognitive dissonance]Vishnu woke up. He smelled like a puke as last night’s event was a hodgepodge. He looked around his room and saw his undergarments were scattered around all over his room. He breathed out as he decided to get up from his bed and leave his room all messed up. It was his everyday routine anyway and a mess like that could not bother him anymore. Vishnu got a bottle of water and gulped it to cure his dried gorge. He was in a daze and was pondering the events that happened. Well, Jerson just kissed him and he kissed him back after denying that he wasn’t into guys. It was so ironic of him. He was bashful towards the fact that he was attracted to Jerson but it only takes one kiss for him to bend without shame. Vishnu sighed before entering his bathroom. He cleaned his body as Jerson drizzled him with his puke last night. It was disgusting but bec
Jerson kept the pile of documents inside the briefcase. He also fixed his tie before looking at the mirror. Jerson’s hair was well-groomed and his suit made him look even better. He looked like a competent professor in the academy who had completed a double degree. Later, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw Noah’s number. He wore his eyeglasses before he answered the call.“We’re already here. Where the heck are you?” Noah impolitely asked. Jerson sighed. “I’m on my way there,” he answered. He hastily gets the key to his cruiser.Jerson lazily boarded on his motorcycle, started its engine, and steered it at full speed. The benign ambiance of the street made Jerson’s heart flutter. If only this would be his everyday routine, an ordinary day like every ordinary person enjoys, he would be really pleased. But his life was beyond what is typical ever since his parents fled. He was being hunted like prey for the predator and vice
Upon hearing it, Jerson cringed. He nodded to show some reverence yet Jordan didn’t bother to show him the same amenity. Jordan just sauntered while grabbing Noah’s arm, ignoring his presence as if Jerson is just a dog’s piss. Jerson looked at the two men’s fading figures. “What a twerp,” he whispered. Jerson sighed while entering the classroom. The room could be compared to a studio. The stage for the professors to stand in while lecturing was in front near the door while the seats could be compared to stairs that were getting higher by each column. It was a typical style in Korean classrooms in colleges. It is also common among Americans.However, the classroom wasn’t coordinated. Students were leaning their feet against the desk. The classroom is a mess. Jerson could smell some awful smell and he could only count the students in his fingers. One of the students threw a ballpen to him that smelled like overdue food. It smells sickening. Witho
“That was a big blow, Prof,” Kedric said while chuckling. He was wearing a sweatshirt and tux. His hand was grabbing a thick book. He was also wearing eyeglasses. Kedric’s posture was so noble and proper. “But I don’t think we are the ones who’ll end up ruining our future. It’s theirs whose future is fucked up,” Kedric added confidently. Jerson remained silent. He started tapping again on his keyboard without reacting to his student's unexpected proclamation. It was easy for him to ignore them as he was just an undercover Professor. Sooner or later, this school will be doomed. It will be best not to give a damn about these rogues. But Kedric wasn't pleased with Jerson’s silence. His brows creased. “Why aren’t you saying anything, Professor?” he asked. He was only two meters apart from Jerson. Jerson was sitting on the teacher's desk while Kedric was on the second row in the second column. Jerson flamboyantly turned his gaze. He puts down his eyeglass and
Displaying a dark expression, Jerson said, “I am his boyfriend.”General Kio laughed derisively. He stared at Jerson and laughed again. “Do I seem to be the person who cares about the lover of my person of interest?” the General asked. After hearing those words from the General, Jerson chortled. His anger was flaring up. He was having a hard time controlling himself. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He was cursing the emissary in mind. Vishnu looked at Jerson cautiously. He could tell that Jerson will most probably punch the General without having a second thought. Before Jerson lose control, Vishnu grabbed Jerson’s hand and clasped it with his hand. He then looked at the General and said politely, “I refuse to follow your command, Sir.” General Kio smirked. “Did I give you the chance to refuse? Even if you like it or not, you’re obliged to follow my command. Your ratings will be based on your performance and I will be the one in charge of t
Clandestine Affair, book 1 of Affair Duology, is finally completed!This is the first novel I’ve completed so far and it is a long and hard journey as procrastination always gets the best of me. I enjoyed writing this and I will start writing book 2 of the Affair Duology as soon as I finished editing and revising book 1. All the revelations will be revealed and explained in the second book. If you came to hate Vishnu in the first book, his actions would be justified (I hope so) in the second book. Also, book 2 will include stories of our side characters. I hope you support and love the second book as much as you do in the CA.That's all! We’ll see each other in the second book, readers. Love lots!
KIERSONI always liked Vishnu and I always will. Obviously, I don't know where it all started. Is it when our first argument happened?Or was it when he saw me jump at the school wall because I was planning to cut classes and he reported it to the principal?Did I fall deeper when we were arguing all the time and chances we had? Am I already whipped when we became friends?Did I fall too hard?Maybe I did. No… I am certain. I did fall harder. It would always be a painful yet happy memory of when my grandfather sent Derrick Emerson to me. I was enthusiastic for Derrick to meet my friends. I was happy when they became close. All those happy memories when I was in high school were with them. I was happy because I am with them…“Jerson,” Vishnu called me. I lazily looked at him as I raised my brows. “What?” I asked. Vishnu smiled cheekily and he squeezed my cheeks. “Guess what? I like someone!”I faked a smile. Of course, I know who it was. “Derrick, was it?” I asked. Though, I was s
“An apology without litigation is just manipulation, Vishnu. Remember this day. You killed this man… you said that you want him dead… and his death was your fault.”Vishnu aggressively shook his head as he clenched his fist while kneeling down. Kierson was really dead and he saw it with his own eyes. Kierson died and it was all his fault. “It’s just funny to see how this man could easily forgive you after everything you’ve done to him. From how you’ve pushed him into his insanity in your senior days up to how you chose Derrick five years ago, and still choose Derrick after neglecting him even though that means he’ll die. Isn’t it worse than dying? Yes?”Every word served as a dagger that pierced his heart. Vishnu grabbed his chest as he felt like his heart was clenching. The scene where Kierson was lying down with his blood on the ground was piercing a hole through his soul. The feeling was unpleasant. The void in his heart kept on getting bigger. Darkness started to invade him. Va
Kierson was all tied up. Valenn was dragging him out of the mansion while Leon and Harvey were on their back — following them. The whole mansion was a hodgepodge. The shattered glasses caused by the bullets were scattered around. Most of the artifacts were broken. The paintings were hanging down and the chairs and tables were turned over. Harvey, Valenn, and Leon were wearing masks like a criminal. “Stop dragging! I can walk!” Kierson shouted. “We would want to let go because of your weight but it wouldn’t be believable if I let you walk there by yourself unscathed,” Leon replied. Kierson’s eyes twitched. “What the hell are you planning?”Valenn tsked. “I know that you’re still hoping for Vishnu to have a change of heart, Kierson. Before everything else, I’ll have to wake you from your delusions.”“Are you kidding me? Untie me! Pronto!” Kierson struggled and tried to free himself from Valenn's grasp. He was also continuously cursing at them but the three didn’t mind.“Gag his mou
Kierson began finding some clues and documents related to Alex Ferrer in his grandfather’s office. He rummaged through the whole room. From the old man's desk, the cabinets, and the shelves but unfortunately, he could not find anything. Everything was a mess as he nearly turned the whole room upside-down. Kierson sighed and sat on the floor. He wiped his wet palm on his handkerchief. He wiped his beads of sweat and sat on the couch near the table. Gladly, he was okay. The abnormal sweating stopped. His heart rate came back to normal. It was as if his anxiety episode never happened. Fortunately, he overcame it without somebody’s help. He came over it without the help of his psychiatrist. Kierson stared at the ceiling as he pondered Alex Ferrer’s possible logical reasons for ruining everyone’s life. Alex Ferrer is the reason for all of these twists and turns that ruined most people’s lives.Kierson wished to know everything. “Just why the fuck was Alex Ferrer keep on pestering us?
“What do you want?” Derrick asked. “You’re unexpectedly more helpful and more receptive to cooperating with us than I thought,” Kier asserted. Derrick rolled his eyes. “Just tell me what you want… ask me what you want to know. I have nothing to hide anyway,” he urged. “You’re boring,” Kier commented as he plopped on the seat in front of Derrick. Derrick chuckled. “I get that a lot.”Kier turned his head and slanted his back against the backrest of his chair. He pressed his lips and stared at Derrick. Seeing Derrick up close, he could not condemn Vishnu. There was no doubt that Vishnu really took Kierson to be a substitute for his lover. No matter what angle, Kierson, and Derrick really have similarities in terms of facial features and height. It was like Kierson was more of an Emerson than a Ferrer. Eye color and innate autocratic aura aside, Kierson didn’t get the Ferrers traits. Kier sighed and said, “What do you know about Alex Ferrer?”Derrick tilted his head. “Beats me. Th
“Harvey escaped,” Kier reported as soon as he entered Kierson's office. Kierson clenched his jaw as he put down all the pictures signifying that Alec Ferrer was the new Police Chief. That means that in order to get that position, Alex Ferrer had to brutally kill, his younger brother, Harold Ferrer. Alex was the one who killed Kierson’s grandfather and with Wayne Emerson’s aid, Alex Ferrer managed to kill Noah’s parents and his parents. But how did Wayne Emerson meet Alex Ferrer and what pushed Alex Ferrer to go this far?Why does Wayne Emerson desperately want to kill Kierson?What was Noah’s reason for engaging with the Empresí and joining hands with Wayne Emerson? What made the Empresarium obscure all the underworld's crimes?Why does the Avialanché want to kill all the criminals? What stirred up all of these problems?Kierson couldn’t possibly answer those questions. As he, himself, was just merely a pawn. An ignorant pawn who was scrambling according to the players’ method.H
“Kier was drugged, Kierson. I don’t know how it happened but when I came back, I just saw him in a drunken state,” Harvey explained. “Jane Draco’s body was already missing and Valenn was found unconscious inside. He was injected with propofol.” Harvey looked at Kierson’s eyes with his knitted brows. “Vishnu and Derrick had already left after you left and I haven’t seen the suspect.”Kierson furrowed his brows. “Have you talked to Valenn? Does he know who the suspect is?” he asked. Harvey pressed his lips. “That’s what makes it more strange. He said it was your mother, Clementine.”“What?!” Kierson exclaimed. “My parents are both dead. Is he serious?!”“That’s right, Kierson. Unless your grandfather lied to you or someone was using your parent's face,” he mumbled. “What about Kier? Is he okay?” Kierson inquired. “He’s okay. I guess?"Jerson nodded and stared at the cutlery on the small table. There were also pipes and on the other table were pliers and scissors. The same day after
A man so lost finally ruined his home. Even after dismissing Kio Bourner, Kierson couldn’t get those words out of his head. He was thinking about it over and over again.What happened that made Alex Ferrer hate the Ferrer family so much? What did Alex do to make the Ferrer household hate him? Why do things keep on getting worse?Why do these things find no end?Kierson immediately called Harvey and told them to wait in the Ferrer’s estate. He had to find Alex Ferrer.He knows that Wayne Emerson wasn’t the mastermind of all of this trouble, but what he didn’t expect was that it was his grandfather's older brother. He didn’t even know that Harold Ferrer has an older brother. No one told him about Alex Ferrer. Not his parents. Not his grandfather.They only knew how to keep Kierson in the dark. Arriving at his estate, everyone in the patrol hurriedly runs toward him. “What happened?” Kierson asked with his brows furrowed. One of his people out of breath retorted, “The Oliveira bro
