Forced to Marry: The Apple of His Eye Chapter 31
Dimitri knew Brooklyn had nothing to do with this, of course. He knew the situation had only happened because he hadn't been by the latter's side. Still, he was mad."Why didn't you think about calling me when running into trouble?" Dimitri clutched the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. "I would've immediately come down if you'd called me. Why didn't you?""I…" Brooklyn was a little scared of him. "I was worried you wouldn't have time to answer my call. You were with your mother, weren't you? I would've disturbed you if I'd called.""Zachary!" Dimitri raised his voice. "Come here."Brooklyn circled to stand before him. Then, he crouched so they were eye-level and asked, "What's wrong?""I want you to understand one thing, Zachary. You'll always be my top priority. Always." Dimitri caressed his face. "I'll back you up and support you forever."Brooklyn looked at him without saying anything. Sometimes, he couldn't help thinking that he didn't want to lie to Dimitri like this. The

Dimitri released Brooklyn and looked at the maid. There was a trace of blood on his lips, which he was well aware of. He reached out to hold Brooklyn steady."Are you okay?" he asked. "It's time for the banquet.""Yeah." Brooklyn nodded, sounding weak. That alone was enough to tell that he wasn't doing so well.Dimitri knew that Brooklyn was probably feeling like jelly now. It couldn't be comfortable. He'd channeled more of his pheromones into Brooklyn's body earlier, which meant the effect he had on the latter would amplify.Brooklyn needed to rest, not attend a banquet. Dimitri knew he shouldn't have done it, but he'd lost control of himself because he was afraid of things going wrong. He was worried Brooklyn would disappear once he had his back turned."Let's join the celebration, then." He wanted to be understanding and allow Brooklyn to rest, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He had to have the latter by his side. Otherwise, how would he be able to explain to his parent

On the way home, neither Dimitri nor Brooklyn spoke. Somehow, things had become awkward. Perhaps the banquet had driven a bit of a wedge between them.When Dimitri got out of the car, he called Brooklyn, who had walked ahead of him. "Zachary, come walk behind me."Brooklyn didn't understand this but still did as told. He moved behind Dimitri's wheelchair and pushed it slowly."I'm taking you to university tomorrow," Dimitri said. "Remember to wake up early so I can get all your information sorted."Brooklyn looked down at Dimitri's head and thought about Amanda saying that their story should've ended long ago."Why are you still in love with me?" he asked. "No one wants us to be together. We're going against the world.""Why do we have to stick to what the world wants for us?" Dimitri stared into the distance, seemingly thinking about things that had happened in the past. "Do you remember when we first met, Zachary?"Brooklyn didn't know when Dimitri and Zachary had first met. T

Brooklyn felt empty inside as he watched everyone leave. He wondered whether Dimitri was avoiding him. Wasn't he part of the wedding party? Why couldn't he be around to listen to the details? He couldn't understand it.He slowly headed up to the bedroom. It was much better than his old place—the bed was comfortable, and there was so much space. There was also plenty of hot water, but he felt so cold and empty.Brooklyn wondered when Dimitri would be back as he showered. He didn't want to sleep alone in the huge bed. He clutched the sheets tightly and rolled around in bed. He shut his eyes, eventually drifting off to sleep.He started dreaming again. This time, he dreamed of his 17-year-old self."You guys will be sitting for your SATs soon, and you're going to be seniors in high school in a week's time. You'll be under all sorts of pressure, so prepare yourself for that." The teacher's voice reverberated around the room as she wrote on the blackboard.The sound wasn't exactly plea

Brooklyn had been startled awake by a nightmare, so his emotions were out of control. He only managed to go back to sleep thanks to Dimitri's comforting embrace and soft words.Dimitri looked down at Brooklyn's face as the latter slept. Then, he lifted the sheets and got out of bed as gently as possible. He slowly straightened up and headed to the balcony. There, he stared out at the garden, which was filled with roses he'd planted. They were beautiful and alluring.He lit a cigarette. He didn't actually enjoy smoking; he only did it when he was troubled. It was about the only thing that could calm him down.Keira wasn't an easy person to deal with. They'd already agreed that this whole thing would be a farce from beginning to end, but she'd still managed to reap some benefits from it.If he had to be honest, he didn't want to give her anything worth a hundred million dollars. He had no choice, though. If he wanted "Zachary", this was the only way.Dimitri took a drag from his cig

"Mr. Hart, here are your clothes." A maid approached Brooklyn with some clothes when she saw he was awake. "This is your uniform. Mr. Wood said to have you change into this after you wake up; he'll take you to the university later.""Okay." Brooklyn looked at the blue uniform. It looked nice, and the size fit him perfectly. Dimitri had probably chosen it carefully.Dimitri happened to return when Brooklyn came out of the room. When he saw the latter, he hooked a finger at him and said, "Come over and let me see you."Brooklyn headed downstairs and approached Dimitri. Dimitri straightened Brooklyn's tie and said, "It suits you well.""That's good." Brooklyn looked at him happily. Then, he leaned close and said, "I really like the little badge you prepared for me."Earlier, he'd noticed that Dimitri had prepared a little metal badge that had been pinned on the right side of his blazer. His name was carved on it along with Dimitri's initials."I was worried you'd get lost on campus.

The university Dimitri had signed Brooklyn up at was a private one. When they arrived, there were luxurious cars everywhere. Brooklyn stared at them and started worrying that he wouldn't be able to fit in."Why does it feel like you're a little scared?" Dimitri was beside him and sensed the change in his emotions. "Are you?""Yeah. I'm worried I can't get used to campus life." It had been seven or eight years since Brooklyn had last studied. What if he couldn't get used to being a student again? Would he blow his cover? There were too many things to worry about."Don't worry about anything. You're just here to study—if you can't get along with the students here, you don't have to," Dimitri said comfortingly. "Let's look for your counselor and pay the fees."Brooklyn nodded and followed him to the counselor's office. When the counselor saw Dimitri, he ran over and said, "You didn't have to come in person, Mr. Wood.""I came to drop this little one off. I was worried he wouldn't kno

"I'm a fellow student's husband," Dimitri said, his tone still as gentle as ever. He looked at the young women. "I hope you'll help care for him in the future."The young women had been chattering just a second ago, but they now fell silent. Dimitri turned back to watch the basketball game; he quite wanted to join them.Brooklyn was soon done. Because of his connection to Dimitri, the counselor had sped up the process and handled all procedures personally. He didn't dare keep Brooklyn and Dimitri waiting for long.Brooklyn left the building upon finishing the procedures. He didn't need to stay at the dormitory, so he could leave campus whenever he wanted. When he returned to the faculty building, he saw Dimitri watching the basketball game.Suddenly, his heart ached. He realized he'd never tried to understand what had happened to Dimitri's leg. He knew nothing about Dimitri's past."Dimitri!" He ran over to Dimitri and held the latter's hand. "Which game are you watching?"Dimitr
