FEAR. It is the most basic human emotion and in Aiden's case the most common too. He was pretty much scared of everything, but his fear increased ten fold after he met Dylan Hunt.CONTROL. It is the one thing which Dylan needed in his life. Whatever he did he wanted the things to be in his control. He never listened to anyone not even his parents. So, the moment he laid his eyes on Aiden he had the urge to control this fearful innocent boy.LOVE. The most beautiful emotion. It is said that when one falls in love everything in this World seems beautiful. That same feeling was experienced by Noah when he first met Aiden. Aiden had built up walls of fear around his heart and would not allow anyone to enter, but Noah had decided he would break those walls and fill it up with his love.So who would win? Fear,Control or Love?
It was a chilly winter day. 8-year-old Aiden was hiding under the bed of his small bedroom, shivering in the cold as well as in fear. He was hiding from his parents to avoid getting beaten. They were too drunk today from early morning itself and Aiden had also seen them inhaling some white coloured powder. On such days, they were extra violent and often vented out their anger on Aiden. As soon as he saw them with that powder thing he immediately looked for a place to hide. He shuddered thinking about the last time the abuse he had to take from his parents. They had beaten him black and blue until he lost consciousness. The next day when he woke up his body was covered with purple bruises. It was aching all over and he got up with much difficulty. He wanted to tell someone about his abusive parents but they often threatened him if he told anyone they would not hesitate to kill him. His parents were small-time thieves who earned their livelihood by pickpocketing
Life at the Orphanage was not as good as Aiden had imagined and hoped.At 7 p.m as instructed, he went for dinner at the dining hall. He saw many kids lining at the food counter. The other kids looked at him and started murmuring among themselves. Aiden was already very shy and he felt more awkward now. He joined the queue at the food counter and tried to talk to the boy who was standing at the end of the queue, but the boy just ignored him. Aiden was embarrassed. He just quietly stood in the queue and took the plates as the other kids.When it was his turn, the guy who was serving asked him “Are you new here?”Aiden nodded and left taking his food and looked around for a place to sit. He couldn’t bear the stares he received so he sat at a corner alone. The food looked really good, far better than what Aiden ate at his house. There was Bacon and Brocolli rice bowl along with some vegetable salad. He got a small serving of
It was a noisy day at the Hunt Mansion. All the maids and the servants of the house were running around the huge mansion looking for their Young Master’s pet dog.The Young Master Dylan Hunt was only 12 years old, but he was the most difficult person to handle in the household. He was a spoilt brat with overindulging parents who gave him too much power at a young age without setting any limits or boundaries. He was born with a silver spoon and never had shortage of anything in his life. So, there were only a few things he truly valued. So once he finds something which catches his interest, he will give his complete attention to it. One such thing which managed to gain his attention was a dog which he found on the street near his school. It was a cute little pug with a glossy coat of light brown color. So, he got the pug home and decided to make it his pet and named it ‘Coco’. With the help of a few servants, he took good care of him.
Mrs. Cecilia was very excited today. She had received a call from Mr. Hunt who regularly donated huge amounts to her orphanage. He had shown interest in adopting a boy of around 12-15 years of age. She absolutely could not disappoint him. Parents usually preferred young kids so there were not many kids of that age in the orphanage, but they were lucky as there were 2 boys Liam and Jack who were 15 and 14.So Mrs. Cecilia called in Liam and Jack and instructed them to be on their best behaviour as per the rules. They already knew about the rules as they had been taught to all the kids countless times. She even ordered the caretakers to instruct the other children to behave themselves just in case their guests took an interest in some other child.Aiden was sitting in the corner of a dark room waiting for someone to come and open the door. He was punished to be locked in the darkroom for the whole night as he was yet again wrongly accused of steali
Mrs. Cecilia was in a nasty mood. She asks John to get Aiden to her office immediately. John goes to Aiden's room and takes him to Madam's office.Aiden was so scared. He thought she knows about him leaving the room and will surely punish him now. While on his way to the office, he was trembling like a leaf. His fears are confirmed when he sees Madam Cecilia, as she looks at him with so much anger and hatred.Madam Cecilia wanted to punish this boy so bad, but she couldn't harm him now as Mr. Hunt had already shown an interest in him."Were you not instructed to stay in your room, boy?" she yells at Aiden.Aiden jumps up in fear and stutters, "I…I…I was in my r…r…room only.""Then how did the guests know about you?"Aiden was confused and didn't know what she was talking about.Looking at his confused look, she further asks, "Did you not meet Mr. Hunt's son?"Aiden was even mor
The Hunt Mansion was so huge and beautiful, Aiden couldn't stop staring at it in amazement. He had never in his life been inside a house so big and majestic. His little mind couldn't decipher the exact words to describe it; he just felt it was stunning. As they all entered the entrance hall, Mrs. Hunt calls for their family Butler Matthew and asks him to show Aiden to his room. Matthew smiles at Aiden and gestures for him to follow him. Matthew decides to show him the entire house before taking him to his room. He leads him to the family room, then the dining room, and the kitchen. There was a massive pantry beside the kitchen, fully stuffed. From the pantry, a door was leading to the Wine cellar. There was an extensive library and a home office, and Aiden is instructed never to enter these rooms without invitation. In the backyard, there were the servant quarters just behind the swimming pool. The garden was so beautiful with different
Aiden's new school will be starting next week. It was a typical elite school with socially privileged people from rich and powerful families like the Hunt's. Monday morning, Aiden leaves for school with Dylan in his car. This was a new experience for him, and it was apparent he was very nervous. As soon as Aiden entered the Prestigious school, he knew it was not meant for him. He got out of the car and stared at the grand building and the massive pillars that formed the entrance. He examined the dark, creepy-looking hallways and the antiques displayed authentically. Aiden and Dylan enter the hallway, and Aiden sees students are laughing and catching up all around. They all screamed of riches. Aiden immediately knew they were all out of his league. He spots a couple of guys at the end of the hallway, walking like they own the World. The guys approach Dylan, and he walks off with them, totally ignoring Aiden. Aiden knew nobody here apart
" 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
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
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,
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
