ASHER * * I was a week off. I told Sebastian I wasn't going to let him walk around like that and he assured me that security was tighter now. I did check up on him everyday. One day I was at the Garden when Timothy came around to pick up some things from Sebastian's room. I went to meet him. "Hey Asher, how are you feeling?",he asked. "I'm a lot better, thank you", I said. He attempted to leave but then I stopped him. "Sorry but uhm, just wanted to check in... I ...I know it's a lot for you right now I understand that, I just wanted to remind you about your mom and the whole Graceville thing", I said. "Oh right, my mom's not talking but, here's her card, it has her office address. You can go and see her, try and get the truth out of her", he said. "What if she doesn't want to talk?". "Well at least you've tried, she's the only one I know that worked there, and it's going to be a lot harder finding someone else, just give it a shot", he said. I nodded, "Thank I sir", I
ASHER **The very moment I got home, I took off my clothes and hit the gym.Sebastian has a gym at the basement, he turned it into a gym. He doesn't really use it so I go there most times. I was so frustrated and pissed. I went straight to the punching bag and put my gloves on.I put a headset over my ears and started punching the bag.Consistently.Over and over again, not taking a break for even a second. I was loosing it.Fuck why is everything in my life going so wrong? the only thing that's making sense right now is Sebastian, nothing else seems to be working.I don't even know what to do right now? give up or keep pushing?Belinda is right, what the fuck am I going to do when I find him? Yeah I tell him he's my brother, what's next then?Why go and ruin a perfect family? cause complications? make things more difficult for them? "Hey hey hey that's enough", Sebastian said pulling me from the punching bag .I pulled away from him and walked over to the other side of the room a
He was joking, he just had to be joking. There was no way he was gonna have a sex party at his house, right?"You're teasing me now aren't you?", I asked.He shrugged and then stood up from the chair and went to greet Rebecca, he kissed her cheek."The woman that dumped me", he asked."My ex fiance", she said."Fancy seeing you here"."Stephanie invited us"."How's your parent? any word from them?", he asked."My mom's been keeping in touch, My Dad will probably die sad", she said."Awwn I'm so happy for you, Beatrice", he said and kissed her on her on her cheeks.I started feeling very awkward, this wasn't my space.I left quietly back to my room. I started this series some days ago, decided to finish it up.About 3 hour later my door opened. It was Sebastian."Hey", I said sitting up."Why'd you leave?"."What would I be doing there? that'll be awkward", I said.He came and crashed on me."Well I wanted you there", he said."Aren't they going to find you?", I asked noticing how co
"Just so you know, you scream a lot and you're loud as fuck".He chuckled,"I don't care, I want you"."Wear your clothes back on Mr Greenwood, and go and be with your friends, you can come back when they're gone", I was going to the bathroom to clean up.I came back and he was still lying down there. "Sebastian", I said tapping him but he looked sleepy."Can you turn off the lights and come sleep with me, please?".I so love his drunk state, he's so cute and vulnerable."What if they -"."I really don't care right now, come on, I want to cuddle", he said.I can't believe I'm more concerned about him getting caught and I'm the one that's out of the closet.I went to kill the lights and then went to him and laid beside him, cuddling him into a spoon, I wrapped the duvet over his nude body. His body suddenly relaxed. "I want to show you off so bad", he mumbled sleepy."You don't have to, I like this, it's peaceful", I said.Maybe that was a little bit of a lie. But it had to be the tr
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in and then released it.Then I went to the floor and picked up the files and dropped them on Sebastian's table."Asher", the bastard man who is to be called my father called me."Excuse me sir", I said to Sebastian and tried to leave.The bastard man pulled my hands Oh God help me not to snap and kill somebody today."Asher it's me, it's your Dad", he said.I looked at him dead in the eyes "I don't want to jail for murder or attempted murder or manslaughter, so please take your hands off me", I said in the most calm voice as possible."What are you talking about? it's me, it's your Dad", he said again like I didn't hear him the first time."I do not have a father", I said and walked out of the office, far far away from them.I went to Lucy's office, she was packing up."Hey what's up?", she asked."My father's in Mr Greenwood's office", I said trying to calm myself down."Your father?", she asked shocked."Yes"."Wait, the motherfucker that r
I spent the last 20 minutes listen to Georgia talk about her and her supposed perfect family and how the bastard is the perfect husband. I was boiling, boiling so badly but I had to keep my cool because this was Sebastian's client too, I can't ruin this for him."So tell me, how did you meet Mr Peterson?", Sebastian asked."Oh we met at a Charity banquet in LA, it was like love at first sight, he recently moved there after he had lost his wife and son-"I coughed, so loudly it interrupted her.I apologized and she continued. You could see the bastards hands shaking, visibly shaking."You lost your first wife? I'm so sorry about that, what happened?", Sebastian asked, he knew what he was doing; torturing him with his own words."We were married for two, she had an accident and died with my son ", he said."My condolences ", Sebastian said."Thank you"."Guess everything works for good, would have never met him and have the best husband ever", she said so cheerful."Your bodyguard shoul
"I was just talking to my new friend", the little boy said."You can talk to him later okay? it's cold, go inside and I'll meet you in a minute", he said and the little boy jogged away leaving me alone with him."So... you leave us and marry a rich woman and you're living the life right?", I asked him."Asher, Asher I'm sorry, I'm sorry for -""What the fuck are you apologizing for? you think I'm here cuz I wanted a fucken apology? you think you're fucken apologize is gonna fix anything?", I asked my voice rising."Please please keep your voice down", he begged."Why? so your perfect wife won't know you had a fucken family that you stole from and abandoned. The one who allegedly died in an accident?", I yelled."Asher I promise you, I was in a bad place that time, I was a terrible father, I really was and I'm sorry, I promise you I'm changed, I'm not that man from years ago , I'm so sorry I was the way I was, I'm sorry for being toxic and I know that nothing I can do can change the pa
ASHER * * I've probably lost my job, hell I have lost my job. Haven't been home in 3 days, switched my phone off so I was unreachable. I was filled with so much negative emotions, I can't even believe the thought of murder comes to my mind once in a while. Right now I wasn't Asher, I was a different person, and there was no way I was gonna be this person in front of Sebastian, I've ruined our relationship already, nothing was ever going to be the same way now. But I had a life to put together, so yeah I was gonna have to put that aside. I walked into a very familiar health care center. For the first time I didn't feel that knot in my stomach or the will to cry or breakdown emotionally, I had just one will; Find my brother. Who cares if I ruin a happy family? I don't. "Mrs Belinda", I told Rose coldly. "Good to see you too", she said noticing how off I was. "Tell her I want to see her", I said. "Uhm, okay", she said and then left and came back minutes later. "She's availa
ASHER**The ray of sunshine woke me up to the most beautiful view in the world. Sebastian sleeping in my arms - naked.I smiled and kissed his forehead.I got out of the bed slowly and went to brush my teeth and shower.When I got out he was awake."Good morning handsome", I said.He smiled and I kissed him on his lips."You taste so good, what's that?", he asked sleepily."Uhm... mouth wash?", i said in an obvious tone.He stretched out and then rolled to the other side of the bed."I'm tired",he mumbled."C'mon, our tour guide is gonna be here soon", I said."I don't want to get out of bed", he cried like a three year old."C'mon now Mr Greenwood, don't be a lazy baby"."You know I fucken hate it when you call me Mr Greenwood, it feels so ughhhhh"."Well I'll keep calling you that if you don't get out of bed and get a shower ", I said.He stretched his hands."Carry me"."What?"."Pleaaseeeeeee"."Okay okay fine", I said reluctantly and carried him bridal style.He clung to me li
"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
