MICHAEL’S POV…We all believe in love changing us into better people, we all believe love can make us do extraordinary things, and we all believe love can make us change our ways of living, but what we refused to see or believe is that broken love can make us more worse than we were before, it can make us change into more horrible beings that we were before.I have been living a bitter life since the day I saw Shadrach naked on someone’s bed, my life has been bitter since that day. I couldn’t believe he could do that to me, not after all that we shared, not after the assurance I gave him of myself, not after changing myself for good just to please him. That thing he did has currently destabilized my life, I have lost focus on myself and work also. It has been almost two weeks and I have been taking a break from work since then.I sat on the largest couch in my apartment on an early Friday morning holding a bottle of wine and a wrapped weed in my other hand. The whole room was filled w
SHADRACH’S POV…I sluggishly walked back to the kitchen with tears rushing out of my eyes. I don’t know why I was crying, I am sure it wasn’t because of Dianne but because of how Michael disgraced me. That was when it dawned on me that I am only his maid and can’t be more than that. I know he has every right to address me as his house help, but does it has to be Dianne? She was his fucking ex and that was what annoyed me the most. I wiped off the tears on my face as I begin preparing lunch for them. It is high time I get myself together and move on from Michael. It is already obvious that he is done with me; I am of no use to him anymore. It is now left for me to move on with my life or get myself trapped in his love. I don’t think there is any need to continue holding on to him, he has already invited his ex to his place, he probably wants to make up with her and have a new life. I am just a tool to him by the way.I wasn’t concentrating while cooking because of their loud noise. Th
SHADRACH’S POV…I sat dumb facing Louis as he stares closely at me. It rang like a bell in my head that he is suddenly asking me to live the mansion with him. I knew we have been talking about that but I never thought it will be this soon. I slowly adjusted myself as we were seated under the tree and faced him properly. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a while before I opened them.“Okay, Louis. I understand that you really care about me and always want the best for me, but I cannot leave this mansion. This place is my home and I don’t think I will ever appreciate staying in other places apart from this mansion.” I said looking at him. He sighed and holds my hands. “I know Shadrach. I am not asking you to leave totally with me. I just want you to take some sort of vacation and cool your brain for a while. A lot has been going on these days and I think you should rest a little.” He said looking at me.I was quiet for a while thinking about his proposal. Maybe he is actually
MICHAEL’S POV…We live in a fearful world where people are the scariest creatures. Everyone in this present world of ours will fight to any extent to get what they want. Without any regrets or second thoughts, people are betraying their trusted ones. Families are snitching on each other; friends are envying themselves, partners cheating on each other, and all sorts of mysterious behaviors that break relationships.I slowly opened my eyes that were soaked in tears as I stared slowly around the room. I must be currently in the main house. Tears are still rolling down my face as my father moved closer to me. “What has happened Michael? Why are you like this?” He asked staring at me. My mother was also worried as she stood from the seat she was sitting on and moved closer. She also asked the same question looking so disturbed. My lips are still gummed and I couldn’t utter a single word.I sniffled a bit and closed my eyes for a while. I still couldn’t believe that my most trusted brother
SHADRACH’S POV…I took a deep breath as I rolled on the large bed I was laying on. I am in a stage of confusion right now in my life. I don’t even know what I want. There is this feeling about Michael which I can’t run away from, I couldn’t move on from him no matter how hard I try. I always think about him whenever Louis is acting romantic. I just couldn’t take Michael out of my heart.On the other hand, these few days with Louis have been nothing but amazing. He takes care of me so good that I couldn’t help but start falling for him. I tried as possible as I could but I couldn’t resist his charms. He tends to tempt me whenever he is around and I am sure I am falling for these temptations. I was still laying on the bed thinking of what to do when the door slowly opened. Louis came in with this beautiful smile on his face.He walked towards the bed. “I thought you were already asleep.” He said as he sat beside me. I giggled and smiled without saying a word as I slowly sat up from the
JERRY’S POV… I stood numb staring at Louis who was standing stacked naked before me. I was also naked and my body was trembling. I couldn’t believe what just happened. I couldn’t believe that I spent the night with Louis. This shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have been Louis. I quickly picked on my clothes and wear them as I head out of the room quickly. He also wore his clothes and followed me while shouting my name. “Jerry. Jerry.” He kept on calling but I ran quickly and head to the main house. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I kept on crying as I rushed home while Louis stopped chasing me and returned.Immediately when I reached the main house’s gate, I saw Shadrach and Ben coming out of the house. I quickly cleaned my face and approached him hoping I could still have a last-minute chance with him. I just hope he will see how miserable I am and probably forgive me. “Hey Shadrach; how have you been? I learned that you have traveled for a couple of days. I missed
He slowly moved back and holds my hands instead. “I always knew you are gay Jerry, but Michael’s situation comes as a shock to me. I am still trying to adapt to it. I don’t have a problem with you both living your lives the way you want them. What I will not tolerate is seeing you become a monster. I will not condone the act of betrayal in my family. How dare you pull that string on your brother? How dare you, Jerry? Even when the boy clearly states to you that he is not interested in you? How dare you display that act?” He asked looking furious.My body was trembling as I ran out of words to say. “I will not listen to any excuse from you Jerry. You will go ahead right now and apologize to the people you have wronged. And for your information, I won’t let you go scot-free for behaving like the jerk you are. I have registered you to a private business school and you will be leaving in a week.” He said as he walked out of the room.I sluggishly fell on the bed with tears on my face. Th
SHADRACH’S POV…“What? You mean Michael raped you before you guys started as boyfriends?” Ben shouted staring at me with a surprised face. I sighed deeply and adjusted myself on the bed we were sitting together. “Yes Ben, he actually raped me a couple of times before I started enjoying the act. It reached to a point where I gave in myself to him because I enjoyed the torture. I enjoyed it when he tied me and whipped me while having sex. I enjoyed it when he dominates me and makes me his slave. I actually enjoyed every bit of it, Ben.” I said looking at him.He was totally confused as he stared at me. He became speechless for a while. “That was sexual abuse Shadrach. And because you were probably afraid, you couldn’t let it out. I don’t think you are in love with Michael, you are just addicted to the torture, you are just addicted to the hardship he inflicts on you during the sex and that is the reason you feel like you loved him.” He said looking at me. He moved closer and holds my ha
