SEBASTIAN Anthony had already fumed and left, oh and he left his wife here, he told her to meet him at the club whenever she wants, but she's pregnant obviously, so that can't work. So she's here trying to talk to my mother and Rebecca to keep her busy. Honestly I pity her, Anthony obviously married her because of the company, but it's different with Rebecca because she's fully aware of that. Camille actually loves Anthony, she really does that I feel sorry for her, because he's never going to return that love for the rest of his life. Anthony doesn't love, he doesn't let anyone or anything come close to his heart. The only thing he ever did was getting my father's company and see how that's making him act. Sometimes I just want to end everything and give it up to him but, I just can't; Anthony can't do it. He'll run everything based off his emotions and feelings and it's a bad start. Everyone was having fun, My mom were with the ladies, my dad had gone inside right before Ant
ASHER * * There's this woman at work that has been trying to get my attention since I came in. Her name is Lucy. She's Mrs Anderson's assistant. She'd buy me coffee every morning and even lunch sometimes, she always comes to check up on me every single day. At first I thought it was because I was new and she was trying to make me feel welcome, but it's been a month now heading to two.. And she shocked me this morning by saying, "Would you be free after work today? maybe we could go grab a drink together, or maybe even something to eat". "I uhm... I... wow that is really nice of you but uhm, I don't know, I have to be with Mr Greenwood most of the days so, it's probably when he's less busy or not going anywhere", I replied. She looked disappointed, "Okay, that's fine, maybe something time", she said and left. I know I said I had sworn away from women after what Veronica did to me. But maybe this time I should go for someone of my level. I'm always chasing the wind, Sebasti
SEBASTIAN * * "Asher please could you excuse us", I said. He nodded and left. "What the fuck do you mean dad has Cancer?". He sat down. "I went to meet our doctor today, for my wife's pregnancy stuffs ". "Well that's a first ", I mumbled. "Sebastian focus, I went to meet him today and I was just going through our family files and I saw Dad's, I was in his office alone, cuz he left them on his table while he attended to Camille. I saw Dad's and I opened it, I even took pictures of it ", he said showing me his phone. "Dad has Leukemia, the real reason he's not visited the company in months is not because he wants us to handle things on our own, it's because he's been in Chemotherapy in and out of it.i confronted the doctor about it and he kept on apologizing and begging me not to tell my father because it was supposed to be a secret. Dad's dying, that's why he wants to see everything in order before he does, the doctor said he'll stop chemo once he sees things in order". I s
SEBASTIAN. * * * It's 12:46 am and I've passed out twice already and I still want to drink more. "Sebastian, you've still not told you what's up with you?", Timothy Said dragging the bottle from my hand. "I don't want to talk about it", I slurred. "No this time you have to, I've never seen you so wasted before like this, what's going on bro?". I sighed, "My old man is sick", I said sitting up, still feeling tipsy. "Sick?" "And dying, he's sick and dying, that's why he's tryna make me settle down before he dies". He looked so confused, "Dude your old man is string, he can fight it". I shook my head, "It's cancer dude, fucken cancer". His eyes went wide. "Shit". "I know, it's fucked up, and I'm lying to him that everything is going to end well and I've found the love of my life, which is a fucken lie man, it's a fucken lie and everything is going to blow up in my fucken face when he's dead and the truth comes out. I'm actually considering giving Anthony to company to run
ASHER * * Lucy asked me out on a date, a real date. Outside work. It was Mr Greenwood's week off so I basically had nothing as an exclusive, I accepted obviously because I didn't want to be a terrible person. She's nice, sweet, very soft spoken and gentle. She's an interesting girl. She talked about her ex's. They were all nice cool guys but they couldn't work out because she had high standards and wouldn't settle for bare minimum. "I'm bare minimum", I stated. "No you're not, you literally set a date at your office cuz we couldn't make out time to have a proper one, that's the definition of if he wanted to he would. Some guys will use that as an excuse." "Well true". "So enough about me, tell me about your relationships in the past". Lol, I've fucked 3 men, was in a situation with a guy and was in a relationship with a supermodel who ended up cheating on me with two other guys, it's the classic. Oh and I'm in love with my boss. But instead I say; "There's nothing to tal
ASHER * * Lucy is different. She's so different that if my feelings for men died I'd date her instantly. We had a really good time last time honestly. And no we didn't do anything sexual again. We cooked together, watched a movie and fell asleep. The next morning I had to leave impromptu when I got a text from Sebastian that he needs me around. I did text her though, didn't want to wake her up. And we haven't spoken until today when I came to work after Sebastian's week off was over "Hi", she said smiling, poking her head at my door I smiled, "Hey". "We have a date, remember?", She asked. "Yes yes, but, I thought maybe you didn't want to... you know after everything". "You're my friend Asher, I'm going to have to live with that and I'm fine with you. Plus you're the only person I find tolerable here so you're stuck with me until one of us gets fired or leaves ", she said dropping her takeout on the table and sitting down. I chuckled,"Okay ". "Is Mr Greenwood
SEBASTIAN **Rebecca called this morning, saying something about running into Veronica and she was threatening her life and all and she doesn't like all those type of drama.I sighed.I'm dealing with my family drama and I'm also dealing with a crazy ex.I decided to go and visit Rebecca at her house so we could talk .The security said she was at the back of the house at the pool when I introduced myself.Her house was nice and decent.Asher couldn't follow me today because he said his mother was sick and he needed to be around her and she something things and took two days off.When I got to the pool side, she was having a make out session with this girl.I cleared my throat.They broke the kiss, the girl panicked and pulled away."Babe relax, he's aware", she said pulling her back."You know you should probably do that inside the house, where someone won't just walk in on you"."Definitely", she said laughing.."Sebastian this is Beatrice, my girlfriend, my wife actually. Beatric
SEBASTIAN **It's one of those days I just crash out from the world entirely and be on my own.Timothy was with his girlfriend, she's been sick and he's been taking care of her.Stephanie and Valerie are in Washington for work. Asher asked for an extra day off to take care of his mother.It's just me and my alcohol till I get better.There's this place I use to go to whenever I get into one of these depressive moods. It's a lake down town, a little to the ghetto side.I just want to clear my head.I walked out of the house and got into my car, my security guards start following me."I'm going alone", I stated."Sir we -""That's an order", I stated.For once, I wanted to be away from people and responsibilities and being this son of a fucken billionaire, I just wanted to be on my own.It was 10:15 by the time I got there.Just like I loved it, it was quiet.Peaceful.I took my shoes off and sank my legs into the wet sand.I laid on my back, facing the moon.A couple of people walke
"What? no , look I already closed that chapter of my life already, I'm genuinely not interested in finding any lost sibling of mine"."I know Asher, it took you a while to move on from the whole thing but right now we need your help, things are far more complicated than it's looking", Timothy said."What's happening?", he asked.Timothy looked at me, I looked at him."We think somehow... one of us might be adopted from Graceville".Asher looked taken aback, "What?"."There's just way too many evidences, but then so many loopholes we can't just connect the dots"."Wait I'm confused, when do you mean one of you are from Graceville?"."There's a secret birth certificate of Sebastian, we managed to scan it properly and it had Graceville as the address. And I the picture of Sebastian's birth, my mom was there, but she wasn't pregnant, which is odd because.... I was born two months after him".Asher stared at both of us, startled."When did you guys... when did you start all these? when did
Before I came back to New York, I paid a short visit back to my mother's house to meet Nona.She was surprised to see me."Can you explain more on what you told me that day? about replacing my letters with more valuable informations"."Oh, it's just pictures of you and Timothy, I found them when they were renovation the house some months ago in the garage, didn't want it to be thrown away so I decided to keep them, for memory", she said calmly.But this wasn't the answer I was looking for, and deep down I felt like she knew the answers to everything,but she wasn't going to tell me."Is there... anything you wish to let me know?", I asked."Only that I wish the best for you", she said and then returned back to her daily activities.I left home more than confused, everything seemed to be crashing in my head.My relationship with Timothy was on a loose thread, the only thing that's keeping him around Is the company.We barely talk to each other unless it had something to do with work, de
SEBASTIAN * * * I genuinely didn't even know when or how we got back, but I woke up in Asher's arms. We had a pretty long night, I think we both got drunk and had a karaoke night, good thing it was just the two of us there. Whenever I was with him, I felt free, I didn't feel like I had to act perfect and pretend... my inner child always come alive when I am with him. "What time is it?", he asked rubbing his eyes sounding so sleepy and hungover. I looked at my watch. "Almost 10 am", I said. He sprung out of the bed, "Are for for real? fuck I have a class in like 40 minutes", he said grabbing his phone. He held his mouth, "28 missed calls from Eric?". I sat up. "Why is he calling you that much?". "We were supposed to go to the Superbowl last night remember? I Just ghosted him, Damn", he said calling him back. I rolled my eyes and laid back on the bed. "Hey.... I'm so sorry... Rea really sorry about last night, something very important came up ... yes it was very importa
I was emotional about today.. I turn 29 and I have zero accomplishments... this is definitely not how I had pictured my 29 years to be.And tomorrow would make it a year since I met Sebastian. I remember because Veronica forgot today was my birthday and then she said she would make it up to me by going on a date with me... one she constantly forgot about everytime.Maybe this year was gonna be different, because I was determined to be different, and I wasn't going back.The next morning I got a basket of gifts from GWM employees. I guess they never forgot my birthday. I called Lucy to thank her because I knew it was all her , we talked and caught up with each other.Maybe I would go for the Superbowl. At least I don't have to be sad and emotional today.I went to my mom's grave later that day, spoke to her for hours, cried at a point, reminded her how much I missed her so much and then I got home in the evening.Eric called reminding me of the Superbowl and I told him I was definite
ASHER **"There's no way I'm going to join you and your family for a celebration vacation of your Dad's death", I said for the 600th time."But my mom insists", he said."Look I get you, I really do and yes I do want to spend time with you, but there's no way I'll be comfortable there, I just won't. I would love to meet your mother again, she was so nice to me the other time, but right now no, I just can't "."It's gonna fall on your birthday, we can spend time there instead of reading books or whatever it is you do there", he said ."Babe don't worry about me I'll be fine I promise, go spend time with your family"."I want to spend time with you ", he said."Me too, but that'll be when you come back, I promise "."Fine", he mumbled."I love when you're like this, it's cute, we'll talk later okay? I gotta go now ", I said He groaned and then I blew him a kiss and cut the call.I went back to my project. I was sitting at the football mini stadium. Just a few people were there."Hey
At my Dad's funeral, I watched my mother cry her heart out, but get this... it's fake. Now I've seen her in her most emotional state, I've seen her cry I've seen her emotional, I've seen her Sad over the past few months because of my Dad's health. The day he died she showed zero emotions, she didn't cry , not even for a second. And now she's weeping at his grave but she doesn't even mean it, at all. It's so fake that it's scaring me. "Sebastian what's happening with mom?", Anthony asked coming to stand beside me. "I don't know", I mumbled. "I mean we're the ones that are supposed to fake the tears and she's doing that for us". "It's like she's happy he's dead, but she's putting on this show so people will sympathize with her", I said. "Hey I don't blame her, I mean if I were her and went through all those shits she went through, believe me even I will be happy ", he said. "Exactly, but we're not her, it's mom. This woman is obsessed with him, badly obsessed". "I think we sh
At 6:42 am, I got a call from the hospital. It was a call I expected a long time ago. I had lived this day in my head a couple of times but my reaction to the reality of it was different. My Dad was dead. Immediately I cut the call the first person I called was Anthony. Not to ask him how he was taking the whole news, not to ask him if he was ok, but to check up on my mom. She's been attached to this man all her life, she changed her entire identity just to become the person he would love to have as a wife. His eyes decisions became her decisions, his life became hers. Although my father never loved her, he only loved the ideas of having a woman like her. "How's mom?", I asked. "She's... she's not breaking down", he said sounding so surprised. "I don't get it". "She's already planning his funeral with his sister's, I don't know if she's pretending to be strong or she's just kinda happy he's finally dead I don't know". "Where are you guys?". "We're at the airport heading back
I hated that hangover feeling you get after drinking your ass out the previous night.My head was banging, there was pain relief on the table with a bottle of water.Asher I swallowed the pills and then went to take a shower and then got out feeling a lot better than earlier.I got downstairs and found Asher in the kitchen."Someone finally woke up"."What time is it?"."Past 12pm"."Whatttt???", I shrieked."Yeah your friends just left like 30 minutes ago, they came to check up on you since you ghosted them last night and didn't show up at work today", he said dropping a plate of freshly baked bread and eggs in front of me."Damn it, and I had somethings to do at work today", I said digging into my food."You're such a good cook you know that right?",I asked.He smiled, "So, you want to tell me what happened last night?", he asked taking a seat beside me.It was at that point that memories of last night flooded my head. I paused and took a deep breath in and then released it."Nothi
"Are you telling me that my mother has been lying to me? what for? she had no business with Graceville. Your mother might be involved because I mean clearly she use to work there, but what mother has to do with any of this? let's assume what you're insinuating is true in the slightest way possible, why the fuck will she want to buy a trafficked child? I was there on the day Anthony was born, I lived through it all, from the very first day, I was young but I remember things clearly, so what are you even saying?", I was getting pissed at this point. "I don't know okay? I genuinely don't, and I want to lie and convince myself that we're just imagining things, but lines are crossing Sebastian, lines are joining . And Asher-". "Asher is older than me, so there's no possible human way that I'm his older brother, it's impossible, clear it from your mind. Even if you think our mothers are lying to us, his definitely won't, especially because she's dead so please, shove all of us in the bin
