SEBASTIAN * * We didn't go back until 4 days later when Timothy started asking about me a lot. It was one of the best moments I've had with him. It's scary to think that I might just be in love with this man. And no I don't think it's just the sex. Yes we have great sex but it's just something about him that I can't explain. And it's scary that I'm falling way to deep right now. I spent the remaining two days of my break with Timothy and then on Monday, I went to work. I met two Customized Greenwood Mobile cars in front of the company and I knew that it was Anthony's and my Dad. Here we go again. I went straight into my office and the full family was there. "Hello Mother", I said and kissed her cheek and then Went to My Dad. "You're 12 minutes late to work", he said as I was about to kiss him. I sighed and then went to Anthony and shook him. "It only gets worse", he mumbled and then I sat on the couch. "Family meeting again, why? The company is going perfectly well, the
Anthony had dropped out from the whole successor of the company thing cuz he knows he doesn't stand a chance and he wants to give me his full support cuz he'd rather get 70/30 than nothing at all.Plus, we both had a common enemy and whenever we had a common enemy, we already work together.We still hated each other's guts but hey we got to work together so that snake doesn't.To be very honest, I know I've won but I'm scared that for some reason, one thing can jeopardize everything and make me loose everything.Asher.He's the only secret I have that can wreck me. And I don't want to loose him. I can't, I'm so much obsessed with him that sometimes i send him home early so that I don't have to think of him every Goddamn time.But we needed to talk about our relationship and how we're going to make it workable.After work I went to his room and he was in the shower.I called him and he said he'd be out in a minute.I sat on his bed and I saw some files. I got a little curious and deci
ASHER**I rang a doorbell that I never thought I'd ring again in my life. About a couple minutes later a young maid appeared."Hello, how can I help you?", she asked."Is Mr Peterson at home?", I asked."Yes sir"."Please tell him he has a visitor", I said."Alright, please come in", she said and led me to the living room.I stood there waiting while she went to call the bastard.I looked around the house, I can't believe he got a life like this in the end.Life's not fair at all.Some minutes later he got down. He looked shocked to see me."Asher I-""We need to talk", I said sternly.He looked tensed, "Can we uhm, go somewhere private, my wife is around and-""Here seems fine to me, it is your home isn't it?".He swallowed hard."Can we go to the pool?", he asked."Oh, your house has a pool too? that's beautiful ", I said with deep sarcasm.He cleared his throat and led me to the back.We both sat down."I'm starting college in a week or two"."Oh that's good I-""I didn't fucken
SEBASTIAN *I couldn't stop thinking about what Asher told me today. I'd break into a smile in the middle of everything I'd do today.I've never seen someone want me so much, God why didn't I start dating men earlier?Truth is I was gonna come out, I was gonna make it known and public, I can't even imagine keeping him in the shadows, that's toxic and it's not love.Love will never hide you to protect his imagine. And I will never want to do that to him.I just need to get this company completely and have nothing else to loose, it's 2025 for fuck sake, who said you can't be proud of your sexuality?It's just my Dad and his mindset.Anthony barged in a few mins later. "Dad gave Landon an office"."It's okay, he should have a place to cry privately when he looses"."Sebastian can I fucken trust you on this, if you know you can't win this, give it to me"."Anthony, this company has always been mine , I don't know if what the fuck else to say, I don't even get why this is up for a fucken
SEBASTIAN **Timothy came into my office looking worried."Hey man there's something I need to talk to you about, I would have talked to Asher first but, I gotta be certain".Asher?"What's that?"."So you know how he had a feeling my mom knew about his brother and all, and I kept wondering why she didn't want to get even slightly involved. It kept bothering me cuz I knew my mom. I thought it was because she didn't want to get involved with the company. I started doing my diggings, for a while now I've been telling myself to stop cuz this isn't my fight and even Asher have given up, but they're things I'm finding out"."Like what?"."My mother wasn't a share Holder in that place, she was a nurse, the chief nurse there. I snooped into some of her things and I found an ID there, her ID from when she use to work there", he showed me the picture in his phone."It's old and all but I scanned it properly and it's Graceville hospital. What I'm confused is on why she will lie about it "."Y
ASHER**Sebastian hasn't in the country for the past 5 days, I had moved out already, though we didn't get to say Goodbye.I got an apartment and fully furnished it, and got everything I needed.I started school few days later, applied for another job as one of the Professors personal assistant, it wasn't anything too serious but I knew for sure it was gonna helpSebastian didn't come back for a full month so there was no use coming back for the weekend so I stay back and used the extra time for other things.We didn't really communicate cuz I didn't have access to the line he was using, I just knew he went to Spain and that was it.I felt like we needed that space, it was enough time to sort myself and my shit out.It was at this point I met a guy.His name was Eric. He had finished his first degree and was going for the second.He was Bi sexual. He made that very clear on our first meeting and I didn't tell him anything about my sexuality.He had invited to come grab a drink with
SEBASTIAN **I think I'm a horrible person, and here's why.I travel to Italy two days before I was meant to impromptu because I just didn't want to have to say goodbye to Asher.He wasn't leaving my life but, I felt like he was. And all this while I didn't contact him because... I don't know I actually didn't want to look like a clingy boyfriend.I was missing him so bad. it was gonna be different now, a lot different because I'm so used to the routine of him being there every time. Fall asleep with him, wake up in the morning, go to work with him. Seeing him everytime made me feel good.They got his replacement already. It was some guy named, I think Bruce or something.He was hot but he wasn't attractive, and he definitely wasn't AsherFor sure Asher is gonna get a breakdown when he sees Bruce and I'm gonna get the jealousy reaction from him and all, he's just dramatic.But there was no way I would find another man attractive. Right?Wrong.My trip in Italy was to bag all the c
SEBASTIAN * * I Looked at my phone for the last time, it was 11:43 pm. It was getting late and I wanted to leave. I've been waiting for Fuego for 3 hours and he hasn't showed up. I had a meeting in the morning, this was useless. I took my last sip of my drink and stood up to leave. As we approached the door I heard him call me from behind. I was already a little pissed cuz I just wasted 3 hours of my time here. "I am so sorry I had to keep you waiting, the police was here for investigation and they held me down pretty long, I'm truly sorry", he said. "It's okay, maybe another time, I've got a meeting by 8". "Maybe just a drink, I promise I won't take your time". "Some other time, have a lovely evening", I said and then we left the place and I headed back to our house. Timothy was in the pool side face timing his girlfriend, he's so obsessed with her. Asher... I should call him, shouldn't I? Or maybe I shouldn't, I don't know. I'm so mentally drained I don't know if I
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
