"Does my mom know about this?", he suddenly asked."No not yet"."Good, don't tell her, she cannot know, I don't want her freaking out unnecessarily , at least until I get better. ""You care about her so much", I said.He shrugged, "She's all I have, yesterday you kept on saying I should stay awake for her, and honestly that was who I was thinking about. I mean she's gonna die of a broken heart and not even the cancer.""And you're the only child?"."The only I know of"."Do you ever think of finding your Dad? maybe he has a family somewhere and maybe I don't know a last minute reunion could fix everything for your mother?"He scoffed, "My mother will die happily and peacefully without seeing his face, if she sees his face before she dies, she might not make it to heaven, I need her heart as pure as possible, I don't need any hate or bitterness "."He really messed up?""Messed up is a decent way to say things, He was an alcoholic, chronic abuser, my mom had her first pregnancy when
SEBASTIAN **Asher aside , let's deal with Rebecca. I went to her house and she wasn't there. The security said neither of them had been home since the last time I was there.Beatrice had moved out.Damn.I tipped him and he gave me her address.I moved there .I knocked on the door and moments later Beatrice came out. She looked so pissed."What the fuck are you doing today here?"."I'm here to talk"."About what?"."If you let me in we can get it over with"."You are the last person in the world I want to see right now"."Why? I didn't take your girlfriend, even when she made advances when she was drunk I was gentleman enough not to take advantage of the situation, I'm not the enemy here ", I stated.She grunted and let me in."Have a seat and get it over with ", she mumbled."What happened between you and Rebecca?"."I broke up with her, she has feelings for you, so why is she with me? and not to mention that you guys are getting married, it's only a matter of time before things
ASHER**Sebastian walked into my room naked. I sat up, his 8 inches fully erected dick was staring at me."W...wha-""Oh shut it Asher", he said climbing the bed."Clothes off", he said with this hint of authority.I suddenly didn't care if I was still injured. I took my shirt off, slowly. He started kissing me roughly, but I felt too shocked and too numb, maybe because it was happening too fast I don't know.My shorts were off my body in a flash and then he pulled me closer to himWait, I thought he didn't want this anymore?"I thought you didn't -"."If you speak again I might have to gag you", he said.He went on his knees in front of me and immediately he put my mouth in his dick, I jerked back to reality.I looked around and it was just me in my room. My hand was still injured. I looked down and realized I was hard as fuck.Sex Dreams, Damn it.I rubbed my temples and sighed. Why the fuck am I having sex dreams of Sebastian.I thought I'd told myself this was over and it was t
A week later, my entire life changed.I got out of the bathroom and saw series of missed calls from Rose.My heart was pounding.I called her back."Asher, Mr Peterson, you need to come here, now!", you could hear the panic and rage in her voice.My vision had began to blur. My head was spinning.I threw the first thing I saw on my body and ran out with my damp hair.Larry was sitting outside.I ran to him."Please, it's an emergency, my mother... my mother please", I said shaking.He didn't even question anything, he opened the car and we got in.I could barely even see the road cuz my vision was blurry. I just had to give him the name of the health center she was in and he used the Google map to find it.God please don't let me be late, please.Larry was on high speed, we immediately pulled up in front of the hospital. I thanked him and jumped out.I ran straight to her room.It was filled with doctors and nurses. I pulled one of them."What's happening?".She shook her head, "She's
"So you're telling me that your mom has another son that she sold out to some fancy rich family because of your Dad was an abuser?", Larry asked looking at me shocked, reading the journal."That's what she said "."That is crazy, but it can also be great news "."How?", I asked."She said they were rich right? exactly, if you find him, you can be family again and they'll take you out of the slums "."It doesn't work that way Larry"."Think about it, okay imagine if Mr Greenwood was your long lost brother, you think your life is ever gonna be the same again?".Godforbid Sebastian be my brother, we've done things that will be abominable to talk about."That's different, plus Mr Greenwood is a really good man, what if he isn't "."Asher find him, at least use that to give you hope, something to keep you busy and keep your mind off your mother. You're lonely right now and the worse thing you'd need is to be idle "."Larry how am I supposed to do that? start looking for all the women in th
SEBASTIAN**I grabbed my phone with shaky hands and called Anthony."What is it?", he asked not so excited to hear my voice."Anthony, Asher's mother is dead", I said."Who the fuck is Asher and what's my business with his mother?"."Asher, me bodyguard, the mother had cancer, Leukemia, same thing Dad has", I stated."Oh... Damn, she died?", he started getting the memo."Anthony we need to talk to Dad about this thing, we need to tell mom, so we can sit down like one fucken retarded family and have a Goddamn conversation about what we're doing", I stated."Dad is not gonna want to talk about it, he might even get furious and send us out "."Anthony we're walking on Eggshells, we don't even know what we're doing. One day he's gonna up and die and we're left with zero idea on what he wants or what he didn't want. All this hints no I'm not fucking with them, I'm not. I want to know what he wants and everything, Damn it" He sighed exhausted, "Look, Dad's not gonna want to talk about i
ASHER * * I was standing in front of a beach house. An actual beach house. Sebastian brushed pass me. "What's wrong? you don't like it?", he asked. "Like it? this place will take me a full century to even-" "Asher, don't, just take a deep breath in and enjoy", he said holding my shoulders. I nodded, It's hard not to overthink. "So, do you know how to cook?", he asked. "What?". "I totally forgot to get a cook, I only paid for a house keeper and I don't want to go through all that stress of getting one", he said. "You don't know how to cook?", I asked about to laugh. "I spent my childhood trying to be an ideal son for my Dad, cooking was not an ideal son". I chuckled, "I can cook", I said. "Good, perfect". We went into the house, it was a cabin but with glass walls. It was beautiful. "Alright so unfortunately There's only one bedroom, I can't believe I'm only realizing that now. But there's like 4 bathrooms, what the fuck, who built this place, I can't believe I bough
ASHER * * I woke up at 9:15 and the house was smelling so good. I noticed first of all that I had a blanket around me. Again. I smiled and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I came out and went to find what was smelling so good. Sebastian was in the kitchen, he was making burgers. Again! And this time they didn't look so bad. "Okay, what's going on?", I asked "Well I'm recreating everything you did last night", he said passing me a plate. I took a bite out of it, surprisingly, it wasn't so bad. "It's not terrible", I said. "I'm making progress, so I'm guessing I've got a good teacher", he said "That's nice, but if I'm gonna let you do the cooking that'll probably mean we'll have to be eating burgers everyday", I said. "Anything to prove to you that I'm not just a rich spoilt son of an Alpha male". I smirked. "What do you want to have for breakfast?", I asked. "No it's okay I already ate a lot of these before you came, how are you? how was your night? did you sl
"What?"."It was a harmless kiss I promise... and I didn't kiss him, he kissed me and -""WHAT?!"."I'm sorry I'm only telling you this now and it's like... terrible timing, I know I'm sorry, I really am, but I promise like... it meant nothing to me okay? we were just hanging out and I felt like he was starting to reconnect with old feelings so I told myself it would be the last time we'd meet and I went to meet him to tell him that I was in a relationship with you and that he shouldn't get any ideas that all of this was just platonic.We started talking.. I don't know what happened but he kissed me... I kinda snapped back to reality and then I told him about you and that I was in love with you and -""Why didn't you tell me like... months ago?"."I'm sorry, I just didn't think it was gonna be anything, I'm just telling you now because I'm beginning to see how horrible it's looking like now... I'm sorry Asher".He raked his hair."Do you find him attractive? I mean it's fine if you w
I had to put on my fake smile."Hi", I said."Fancy seeing you here", he said shaking me."Yeah I just came for a short vacation, work stress is killing me, you?"."I'm actually here for a friend's wedding, it's tomorrow", he said."That's nice.... uhm this is my Boyfriend Asher, Asher this is El Fuego".Yeah I saw Asher's face when I mentioned his name. The cute thing about Asher was that he doesn't know how to hide his facial expressions."Oh .... wow, this is... THE Asher, pleasure to meet you", Fuego said .Asher just gave a fake friendly smile and nodded."So ... what are you guys doing today?", he asked ."Nothing in particular, we just planned on staying home and enjoying the weather.", I said."Well, you can join us, we're going sight seeing", he said..I looked at Asher, of course he wasn't interested in going sight seeing with me and my ex"."We would love to, but maybe some other time", i said."Alright then, we'll see you around", he said and then we waved each other a goo
SEBASTIAN **Work has been crazy recently. I'm going to work by 6 am and coming home by 2 am. Most times I just sleep at work.We had to create a small room right next to my office with two beds, a closet and a bathroom for Timothy and I, cuz recently we've been working from the office.Now I low-key get why my Dad was so paranoid about getting a good CEO to take over, this company required a lot of work.After one month of stressing each and everyone of my employees, We finally hit our monthly target.I had to double everyone's salary for the month, I was definitely the one to reward someone when they've done well.I decided I was going on a two weeks vacation with the love of my life. And you know the universe wanted that too because that also happened to be the same period he was on his break."Asher just pick one country, it's not a big deal"."I genuinely have nothing in my head right now, honestly, they're just so many places I've wanted to go but .. there's nothing in my head
I gave Timothy and Sebastian a run down of everything that happened, in details. But it got dark and twisted when I got to Nona's part. Sebastian said he was gonna convince her to talk but Timothy reminded him that she's very religious, and blood oaths aren't to be broken.So we had to figure it all out on our own. I gave them my own piece of advice; We drop all of this and move on with our lives whether or not we get to live in a lie or not. Nona already mentioned we stay out of it, that It was more complicated than we imagined and we should stay out of it. Honestly I didn't want to get involved in it anymore. I'm getting my life on track, I've got a degree to a prestigious college, I'm dating the best man to exist in the universe, I'm slowly finding comfort and healing from my past trauma's and no longer feel pain from my mother's death. I don't want to go back there again. And that's what I told both of them. And we all agreed to not talk about it again and let everything die.
ASHER * * Sebastian mother was the nicest woman I had ever met and for a second, I legit forgot that I was here to find out about things. She couldn't stop talking about me and how much she loves that I was able to make Sebastian comfortable and bold enough to face his ruthless father and come out. She talked about her marriage with her husband and how cruel he was and apart from the money, one of the biggest reasons she chose to stay was because of her kids. She reminded me so Much about my own mother. Her's was mental abuse while my mother's was Physical. I genuinely felt so bad for her. Infact I was convinced that the real monster here if there was any was Belinda because this woman was too kind to be involved in anything shady. It was until Belinda came that I snapped out of everything and realized why I was really here. "What is he doing here?", Belinda asked not so pleased to see me. "I came into town and so I invited him for Lunch", she said nicely. Belinda rolled he
"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
