SHADRACH'S POV...I slowly rolled on my bed as I flipped to the next chapter of the story I was writing. I felt reluctant and I decided to close the book and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I got ready after the shower and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner because it was almost evening and he would be coming back soon. I don’t want to keep him waiting, so serving him is technically my duty and I enjoy doing it.Life is not always a bed of roses as everyone thinks. We all live a hard life and at some points, we will feel like taking our souls. But the most difficult form of hardship in life is a situation whereby we have to endure the torture that is being inflicted on us. Even though we know that we can run away, but we can’t just do that because we find a bit of pleasure attached to that hardship.I never thought I would be someone's horrible secret. I would never believe that my life would turn out this way, even if a fortune teller predicted that, I wouldn't agree wi
MICHAEL’S POV…My whole body was trembling as I saw the body of the boy lying lifeless on the bed. I stare at him for a while thinking of what to do next. It’s getting late already, and I am sure my mother will be calling him for their dinner soon, even his friends will soon begin looking for him. I kept on strolling in the room thinking of what to do.As I kept on cracking my brain for a while, an idea strokes my head. I think I should inform my mother and also the kitchen that the black boy will be working for me tonight, that will prevent any suspicion of me. I quickly stood up and head out, but I remembered that I was just putting on a towel. I quickly came back and picked some decent clothes, dress properly, and headed to the main house.I was still looking a bit tense when I informed my mother. She wanted to argue but I quickly interrupted her. “You know I don’t like allowing everyone to my apartment right? And besides, I won’t suffer the boy, there is a kitchen over there at my
MICHAEL’S POV… I was worried since when I saw Shadrach talking to Jerry, they look so close and Jerry seems to be giving the boy an affectionate look. I already knew my junior brother to be a soft-hearted person but the kind of looks on his face on he was with the boy is alarming. “What if he told Jerry about the rape?” I asked myself while I was overthinking. “No, I won’t let that happen. I must threaten the boy with fear.” I said to myself as I walk to the balcony and started calling him.I watched the boy running towards my apartment as I stood on my balcony. I don’t actually know the reason why his clumsiness always attracts me to him. I quickly went back into the apartment and stand by the door as he came in panting. I folded my arms and frown my face as I leaned on the wall. “What took you so long to get here?” I asked giving him a scary look.He was trembling as he stood in front of me; his lips were shaking as he was mumbling about what to say. “What are you whispering?” I sh
SHADRACH’S POV…I snuffled a little as I slowly turned and saw Michael lying on the floor; he was breathing heavily and sweating profusely with his eyes closed tightly. He looks tired and unconscious. I sluggishly stood up and picked up my shirt that was torn by Michael. I nodded my head as I stare at the shirt. “I can’t wear this and head out,” I said to myself as I look around the room. I sighted his shirt lying freely on the bed and I quickly grabbed it. I wore the shirt and a trouser and head out of his apartment immediately.I rushed back to my apartment and met Ben strolling in the room while trying to place a call on me. That was when I remembered that I left my phone on the bed and it was really late, so Ben is technically worried about me. He quickly walked over to me as I came in. “Where are you coming from Shadrach? I have been trying to reach you.” He said holding my hands and looking at my body curiously. I giggled a little and let myself out of his grab, “You already kn
SHADRACH’S POV…Have you ever felt like you are at a stage in your life where you will do anything just to make someone happy? This stage is where you will want to offer your best just to earn their trust. Even though you know how that crashes you and how you hurt yourself. Even though they don’t accept you or look down on you. You just want to make them happy in your own way because you can’t resist them and you don’t even know why you are doing it.I think I am in that stage already. I don’t know what has gotten into me lately. I don’t know why I am being this sensitive about Michael. I don’t even know when I graduated from hating him to wanting to see him. I always want to be around him. I always want to make delicious dishes for him. I always want to be punished by him even when it hurts, but I must confess I love every bit of that punishment. I love the look on his face when he goes wild about me. I love the way he acts possessively toward me. I love the way he holds me tight an
SHADRACH’S POV…I rushed and ran after Michael who walked straight to his apartment. I know he is probably mad because he saw me with his brother. I hold his hands immediately when I entered the house, he was so furious and looking grumpy. He was still breathing heavily as he stared at me without saying a word. I sighed deeply and hold his hands but he removed them forcefully. He looked really angry, he wanted to say something but his heart is still boiling up from jealousy so he couldn’t utter a word.I nodded my head and moved closer to him. “Come on Michael, you know I can’t possibly ignore Jerry or chase him away without any qualified reason. I have been friends with him since before we had a thing, so cutting him off right now will bring the lead to him suspecting us, and remember we are keeping this a secret for now.” I said looking at him.He giggled and stared at me for a while. “Jerry is my fucking brother Shad. How do you expect me to keep calm when he is getting much closer
MICHAEL’S POV…Life could come up with an unexpected turn. Changes might occur to us at any time. Our long time plans can be disrupted by little things at any moment. These changes can be favorable or otherwise. The best solution is to accept and adapt to these changes. I have never thought that my plans to enjoy the moment with Shad will lead me to this situation. All I had in my mind was just to use him for the moment before I find myself a way out of this place and dump him.I never thought I would be trapped in Shadrach’s mind. My whole plans were disrupted as I have fallen totally for him. He has changed my mindset about this place. He made this mansion so comfortable for me. He made me understand the value of life and made me want to change for good. I currently want to be a better person so I can take care of Shadrach for life. I don’t think I can go a day without Shadrach in my life. I don’t even know how his love captured me suddenly, I am still battling with the fact that I
I walked out, shedding hurtful tears on my face. I couldn’t believe this would happen to me. I couldn’t believe I would be back to this stage again. I couldn’t believe Michael would actually hate me this much, acting so cold as if nothing ever happened between us. He clearly forgets what we had, treating me like some trash again. I walked back to my apartment still crying. I think it’s already over for me. I am slowly dwelling in my grave. This whole mansion feels like hell to me. At this point, I hate life and love at this same time.The following morning, I woke up as early as possible and headed to Michael’s apartment. I was rushing to arrive there before he wakes up when I heard my name being called from afar. It is definitely Louis. He is the only one stalking me lately. I decided to wait and talk it out with him. I turned and faced him as he approached me. He was panting because he ran from a distance. I stared at him for a while waiting for him to talk, but I became impatient t
