Warning: This chapter contains cursing and mature themes concerning homosexuals, which might be triggering. Reader discretion is advised.Aiden picked up the call from an unknown number and heard the person say, " Come to my office now," and hang up. He recognized the authoritative tone too well and got up from his seat to go to Dylan's office. Aiden didn't expect much from his conversation with Dylan, but he wanted to know what Dylan actually wanted from him. Dylan was sitting on his seat staring outside the window when Aiden entered his office. " Why did you want to meet me?" Dylan asked, still not looking at Aiden." D-Did you meet Noah's father?" Aiden asked." Yes."" Why?"" Don't you know why?" Dylan asked, looking at Aiden from the corner of his eye." I-I can't understand what you would achieve by talking to Noah's father. "" You didn't agree to leave him. So I had to take another route."" I-It's my personal matter. Y-You..." Aiden wanted to say not to interfere but stoppe

The following day Aiden called Dylan again. " I-I want to meet you."" I knew you would," Dylan smirked." Come to my office."" C-Can we meet somewhere else?" Aiden asked reluctantly as he didn't want to be alone with Dylan." Are you kidding me?" Dylan spat. " Come right now," he said and hung up.Aiden didn't want to meet Dylan alone, but he had to go for Noah's sake. Finally, gathering up his courage, he hesitantly walked towards Dylan's office. The receptionist he had met the last time was replaced by someone else, and this lady seemed too polite. She personally escorted Aiden to Dylan's office even though he refused multiple times. He felt awkward and wondered what was going on.Dylan was on his phone and indicated Aiden to wait. Aiden took his time to observe Dylan's office for the first time. It was simple yet elegant. A dark-walnut bookcase lined the entire left-hand wall. The window was big and gave a spectacular view of the city." So, what did you decide?" Dylan asked, maki

Warning: This chapter contains cursing and mature themes such as violence and abuse(physical and mental), which might be triggering. Reader discretion is advised.Aiden and Noah hardly got any sleep at night. Noah had gone completely silent and just hugged Aiden tightly, thinking the worst. Noah was not at home when Aiden woke up the following morning, and even his phone was switched off. Aiden realized Noah didn't want to see him leave, so he was not here at the moment. Aiden packed his luggage with a heavy heart, praying and hoping he would return here soon, and also didn't take half of his things so that Noah didn't feel completely abandoned by him.Meanwhile, Dylan was feeling irritated, but he didn't know why. He was particularly harsh with his employees and walked around with a chip on his shoulder. Everyone tried to steer clear of him, observing his sour mood.Before lunch, Dylan approached Aiden's desk and ordered him to join him for lunch. Dylan's girlfriend Natalie was with
Fear, Control or Love? Chap 42: Confrontations - Part1
Warning: This chapter contains cursing and mature themes such as violence and abuse(physical and verbal), which might be triggering. Reader discretion is advised.Aiden was in the car with Dylan on the way to the penthouse. Dylan was quiet the whole way, and Aiden found his silence even more scary. He recalled Dylan's threat he received at the restaurant and shuddered at the consequences. The penthouse Dylan had was screaming luxury. It had high ceilings and large ceiling windows that allowed light to flood in and create an illusion of more room. It was fitted with premium appliances and hardware that elevated the space. The view through the window was the best Aiden had ever seen. This would be his favorite spot in the penthouse." Do you like it?" Dylan asked, staring at Aiden, who was looking at the scenic view. He somehow felt peaceful seeing Aiden at his home. It felt as if Aiden belonged here. Aiden was surprised at the unexpected question. " It's beautiful."" Way better than
Fear, Control or Love? Chap 43: Confrontations - Part2
Dylan threw away the paperweight in anger. Noah's question, ' Are you in love with him?' was ringing in his head like a broken record. Over the past few days, he has been thinking about this question, and it appears that he can no longer lie to himself. Though he was unsure if it was love, he had to accept that he had some possessive feelings for Aiden. Also, he was utterly convinced that he couldn't see Aiden with anybody else. The thought itself caused an undescribable rage within him. But could he be in a relationship with Aiden? Obviously not. What would happen to his reputation if people saw him dating a guy? He would be a laughing stock. He thought of the times he had bullied various people for being gay and couldn't imagine others ridiculing him for the same. Why the f**k was this happening to him? Seems like his karma was hitting him hard. To avoid this situation, Dylan had to act fast. Now that Aiden was staying in his penthouse, he just had to make sure Aiden stayed away f

Warning: This chapter contains cursing and mature themes such as violence and abuse(physical and verbal), which might be triggering. Reader discretion is advised.Dylan caught Noah off-guard when he suddenly attacked him from behind. Dylan was in so much rage that he wanted to kill Noah at this moment. He was the reason for all his problems.Everything had been going so well according to plan. Dylan had struggled for the past few years and worked his ass off to get complete control over the Company. He just had to fit Aiden into his life the same way he was in his teen years, and everything would be perfect. But his plan was ruined by Noah. Not only had he changed Aiden, he even had the audacity to suggest Aiden leave Dylan and stay with him. How dare he?At that thought, Dylan saw red and began continuously punching Noah in his face.Aiden was shocked when he saw Dylan beating Noah. His body seemed to be paralyzed with fear. He badly wanted to stop Dylan, but this aggressive version

Noah's parents arrived at that moment, looking concerned." What happened?" Noah's mom Amelia asked Aiden in panic." Nothing to worry about; it's just a few bruises," Aiden tried to assure her." But how did it happen?" Aiden was hesitant to reply." Please tell me," Noah's dad Daryl insisted." N-Noah had a fight."" What?" Daryl and Amelia were shocked. " He is not someone to start a fight."" I beat him up."Aiden flinched when he heard the voice from behind. " You?" Daryl asked angrily. " What is the meaning of this?"" Didn't I warn you to keep your son away from Aiden?" Dylan sneered." What the hell is going on?" Amelia asked, looking from Daryl to Aiden." Why did you hit my son? I will report you," Daryl threatened." You can try," Dylan said indifferently." P-Please stop," Aiden pleaded with Dylan." Then come with me," Dylan sai

He would have left in the middle of the night, but Dylan was sleeping in his room on his bed, hugging him tightly from behind. He still couldn't come to terms with the fact that Dylan had confessed his love to him. Did Dylan mean it seriously, or was he playing a trick so that he could further control Aiden? If at all his confession was true, then Aiden's situation was even worse than before.Aiden tried to get Dylan's hands off his waist, but his attempts were futile.Thinking about the numerous possibilities and how to get out of the situation, Aiden finally fell asleep after an hour.The following morning, Dylan woke up beside Aiden, his hands on his waist. Aiden was still asleep beside him, and Dylan felt peaceful looking at him. For the past few days, he couldn't sleep proper

" W-Who a-are you all?" Aiden stuttered, backing away. He glanced at his surroundings and noticed it was deserted except for him and these dangerous-looking people." We are here for you."" W-What? W-Why?"" We were ordered to teach you a lesson."" W-What do you m-mean?" Aiden asked in fear and confusion." You have angered some big people."" I-I do not u-understand..." Aiden looked around for a way to escape. The sun had already set, and these people screamed trouble. As he was about to run, he was stopped by one of the men from behind." Where do you think you are going?" The goon violently held Aiden by his arm, stopping him from escaping." W-What do you want f-from me?" Aiden couldn't understand what he had done to anger these men whom he was seeing for the first time in his life." We were told that you do not listen to anyone."" W-Who did I not listen t-to?" Aiden was really confused now. Who were they talking about?" Mrs. Diana Hunt. She hired us to warn you."Aiden was s

The following morning, Dylan left, leaving Aiden locked up at home. He wanted to work from home but was forced to go as he had to meet an important client. As soon as he left, Aiden searched the entire house looking for a way to escape. He tried all the doors and windows, but everything was locked. Dylan watched his home camera feed on his phone and angrily clenched his teeth. Though he was sure Aiden wouldn't be able to escape, he didn't like his desperate attempts to stay away from Dylan." Drive faster," Dylan instructed the driver as he could soon finish his work and return to Aiden. All his plans had gotten complicated, and he soon had to find a solution for everything. Meanwhile, Dylan's mother had met Natalie and tried to give a reasonable explanation blaming everything on Aiden. Natalie, who had seen everything with her eyes, thoroughly denied it, saying she was involved with Dylan and he was still cheating on her. " Can you give my son a second chance? " Mrs. Hunt said in a

Dylan suddenly held Aiden's arms in a tight grip and screamed, " How do you know about Nat?"" So it is about her?"" Tell me, what do you know?"Aiden just stared at Dylan, looking disgusted.Dylan felt tensed looking at Aiden's expression. " It's not what you think. You shouldn't be worried about it."" Why would I be worried?" Aiden asked. " Actually, I am relieved."" What do you mean?" Dylan asked, confused." Now that Natalie knows about us, don't you think you should stop all this?"" Stop what?"" Stop this madness and let me go," Aiden spat." And why would I do that?" Dylan seethed." Come on, Dylan. You were supposed to get married."" What has that got to do with you? It's my personal matter."" Then what am I doing here?"" You are here because I love you."Aiden almost pulled out his hair in frustration. How much ever he tried to talk it out with Dylan, he never seemed to understand. He pushed Dylan away and screamed, " Do you know how absurd you sound right now?"" What

Dylan was pacing around in his office, recalling his confrontation with Natalie and thinking about what to do next. Suddenly his office door burst open, and Dylan angrily turned around, yelling," Didn't I tell you not to disturb..." He paused when he noticed his Dad and Mom standing before him, looking smug." F**k!!" Dylan cursed under his breath, thinking about why his Dad was there as he usually never visited him in the office." Why are you here?" Dylan asked, looking from his Dad to his mother." Look at you acting so cool after what you have done," Dylan's mother spat out." What is it now?" Dylan asked in irritation. Did Nat say anything to them?" What is it that I am hearing, son," Dylan's Dad said. " You and Aiden?"Dylan was shocked and looked at his mother accusingly." I had to tell him," Mrs. Hunt said defensively. " Even Natalie knows about it now. How do we face her family?"" How did you know?" Dylan asked." I happened to be at the restaurant today," Mrs. Hunt replie
Fear, Control or Love? Chap 62: Meeting with the fiance
The following day, Dylan met with Natalie at a restaurant for lunch. Natalie had purposely booked a private room, knowing the conversation might get heated anytime." What is it, Nat? What did you want to talk about?" Dylan seemed distracted and uninterested." What's your relationship with Aiden?" Natalie got straight to the point as she wanted to catch Dylan off-guard. Dylan's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed confused and shocked. " W-What do you mean?"" You know what I mean."" Can you be more specific?" Dylan was wondering why Natalie was asking about Aiden. Did she find out about their relationship? This was bad. How would she react if she knew he liked men? Would she tell everyone?" Fine!!" Natalie huffed. " I heard the conversation between you and Aiden in your conference room the other day."Normally Dylan wouldn't be intimidated by anyone, but now he was genuinely worried. He wanted to make sure how much she knew. After a few minutes of silence, he asked, " What

After leaving the office, Dylan asked the driver to take them home. The entire ride home was silent as Dylan still wasn't in a good mood while a thousand things were running around in Aiden's mind. Should he tell Dylan about Natalie? Or Did Natalie already tell him?As soon as they were inside the penthouse, Aiden could hear Dylan's loud voice, " What do you want me to do?"" What do you mean?" Aiden turned around and asked in confusion. " I am out of ideas, so you tell me, how do I make you love me? What should I do for you to stop thinking about your boyfriend?"" That's not possible," Aiden said, trying to sound confident though he was freaked out from the inside. Dylan closed his eyes and clenched his fists to control his anger. Right now, he wanted to lock Aiden in his room and only allow him to leave once he agreed to be with Dylan forever. He stared at Aiden, who looked scared as if waiting for Dylan to retaliate. Suddenly, he turned around and dashed towards his room, closin
Fear, Control or Love? Chap 60: Caught in the act
Aiden just stared at Natalie for a few seconds, not knowing what to do. As soon as he saw her tears, he looked down in remorse wishing the earth would swallow him whole. After a few agonizing moments, Natalie herself approached Aiden and whispered in a sad tone, " W-What is going on between you two?"Aiden was so nervous he couldn't seem to say anything." Tell me, what is going on?" Natalie insisted, her tone a bit louder.Aiden couldn't seem to look Natalie in the eye, but he tried to reason with her. " I-Its n-not what you think...""I heard it all," Natalie spat. " You can't deny it now."Aiden was at a loss again. He was hoping that Natalie must not have heard everything, but her words proved him wrong. What would she think about Aiden now? Her impression of him would be of a relationship wrecker." W-Why...? Natalie asked in between her tears. " W-Why did Dylan say that you are his? Does he l-love you?" Natalie had already predicted that Dylan would be in love with someone else,
Fear, Control or Love? Chap 59: Trapped in Love or Obsession - Part6
Aiden was smiling like a fool, recalling his time with Noah the previous night. Dylan had been gone for two days now. He had to travel overseas on an emergency Business trip, and before leaving, Dylan had instructed Aiden to straight away go back home after office. The first day Aiden obliged, fearing it might be one of Dylan's tricks and he might suddenly appear in front of him. Nevertheless, he became convinced Dylan was indeed overseas when he video-called him, showed him the London bridge, and said he wished to take Aiden there. So, on the second day, after returning to the penthouse, Aiden changed and left to meet Noah. As soon as Aiden was out, he got a call from Dylan asking where he was, and he replied he was going to the departmental store. Aiden and Noah had dinner after a long time and talked about the things going on in their life. While having dinner, Dylan repeatedly called Aiden, urging him to return home soon, so Aiden kissed Noah goodbye and left after two hours. Dy

Dylan immediately turned towards the window as if watching the city outside. He wanted to kill Clara for even thinking of trying to make Aiden her submissive. Clenching his fist, he took deep breaths to calm himself as he didn't want to get angry in front of Aiden. After a few minutes, he turned towards Aiden with a smile. " Don't worry; it's nothing important.""Okay," Aiden agreed." I-I will go to my room then," he whispered so that he could escape and avoid further questions." What's the hurry?" Dylan said, holding Aiden's arm to stop him.Aiden's heart was beating fast, waiting for Dylan to burst out any moment. " A-Are you not sleepy?"" Not at all," Dylan replied huskily. " How can I sleep when I miss you so much? I hardly saw you today."" W-We are in the same office." Aiden didn't like where the conversation was leading." You are a busy person," Dylan said calmly. " You don't even have the time to pick up my call.""I-I a-am sorry. I-I was having my lunch s-so I missed your
