2024-10-29 19:42:56An hour passes by in almost near silence as Kain settles down to check his social media accounts on his tablet, though he allows me to borrow one of his books to keep me entertained while he does so. This book is one that Kain himself has written. It is one of the few I’ve never been able to get my hands on because of my situation and most copies are really expensive to buy these days!
I waste no time getting into it, as I do not know how long Kain will allow me to stay here once morning comes. I’m about halfway through the book when I hear Kain say to me, “would you like a drink, Mister Smith?”
I glance up from the book and smile sheepishly. “I’d love a drink, thanks. What do you have?” I ask politely. Kain is so hard to read. I can’t tell if he’s a kind person, or if he’s unpleasant. So far, most of my interactions with him have been the latter, but he’s shown he can be nice too, so I’m torn about how to take his attitude towards me.

“Say it again!” I blurted out as my eyes remained wide and bulging at what I had just heard. I wasn’t sure if I had received Kain correctly. With a rather concerned look, Kain repeated his words slowly as he once more said, “I will let you join my company.” I needed to hear nothing else and in my excitement; I ignored all personal boundaries to leap over and wrap my arms around Kain’s neck. “You do not know what this means to me! I promise you’ll not regret giving me this chance! I’ll do anything you need me to do to grow and improve! Promise,” I said with enthusiasm. Kain was silent for a moment and it was only through this silence that I realised how tense he was with me, holding him like this. I reluctantly let go, my face burning with embarrassment. “S-sorry…” I mumbled though I was still overly excited. “Do not make me regret this choice, Mister Smith,” Kain said, once he was relaxed again. “You will start at the very botto

The next morning came too soon. I had somehow gotten some sleep, but I was too excited to settle down fully, so now I was paying the price. Despite the lack of sleep, I was still hyper to think about who’s penthouse I was in! I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside desk and saw that it was only seven in the morning. I did a bit of light reading until I was sure that Kain was awake and moving about.I get so stuck in this book that the light knocking startles me. Kain’s voice echoes through the door as he says, “Mister Smith, I am going to make some breakfast. If you are up, then come and eat with me. Or else I will get some cold water and-”I don’t let him finish. Calling out, I say, “I’m awake, no need for any cold water!” I fling the blankets off of me and look around for my clothes. Strangely enough, I find them clean and neatly folded. I don’t remember having them washed or dried. I let

I hate awkward silences and right now, that is what I am stuck dealing with. This Yuya woman is yapping on and on about how she has missed Kain and how he should have been in contact with her again while the three of us stand there in silence. I don’t recognise her at all, but I can only assume she is someone in the Entertainment business or from a wealthy family. I admit she seems attractive enough, probably Kain’s type. That thought has my stomach in knots.However, it isn’t my place to tell this woman to leave or be quiet. I have barely got acquainted with Kain, and am nothing more than a guest in his home. Yet despite that, I can tell she is not wanted here. I glance between Drake and Kain but hold my tongue. If they want to get rid of her, then it is up to them to say something. Though I am guessing Drake is waiting for Kain’s orders.As I glanced at Kain, I can see he seems to be getting somewhat annoyed with this wo

After Kain has gone over the contract, I am now fully aware that as a Companion, I will need to have at least one hundred ‘fans’ or clients before Kain will even consider promoting me for acting roles. I also don’t have to use my body in… ways that I am not fully comfortable with, so that’s a bonus. He explained it was to see if I would be popular enough with men and women before I could go on the big screen. It makes sense, in a way. You don’t want to put an unknown actor in your biggest roles.I only have two options. Either I accept the contract rules, or I give up on my dreams. I said I would do anything, and that means I can’t back out now. Well, I could, but then I would get Kain’s snarky remarks over backing out, and never have another chance again. So really, do I have a choice?There are other requirements and conditions that I need to adhere to, but most of them I fully expect from the jo

I still cannot believe Kain is going to buy me a whole new suit. Despite his generosity, I can’t help but feel there is going to be a catch to go along with the new suit. Drake drives us down the busy roads while chatting away to us, though if Kain is listening at all, I can’t tell. He makes vague sounds, but no proper reply ever escapes his lips. I can’t seem to take my eyes off of Kain. He’s just so handsome, even as he works hard on his tablet. The only time I am not in awe of him is when he opens that sarcastic mouth of his. That is when all illusions wear off, and I am left wondering who in the Outlands is in front of me. Drake finally pulls into a garage at the back of what I recognise as the largest shopping mall in the city. This seems to be a private spot, as very few cars have been parked here. Although part of me is surprised by this, another part of me is not. I allow my mind to linger on the questions of who

My new suit was a sight to behold. I had never seen such fine fabric in my entire life. I wanted to know the cost of such an outfit, but the only response I had gained from Kain was a hearty laugh and a sarcastic, “too much for you to afford.”We had waited for the tailor to finish any adjustments and then left to continue our couple of hours of shopping. It surprised me that Kain shopped like a regular person. Or as near enough to it as one could be when surrounded by fans from both sides.And every moment, he seemed to enjoy to the fullest. He loved the attention. The screaming women swooning over him. Even the men admired him and Kain paid their admiration back with friendly smiles, waves and playful winks.Was this the type of thing he expected everyone to put up with, even if they weren’t too keen on dealing with the public so much? This was the face I knew him by most of

The journey back to the apartment building was awkward as my mind still tried to process what exactly had happened. It was one thing for Kain to invest time in getting me new outfits to start my career, but it was a whole other ball game to have a new place to live that wasn’t shared between hundreds of other people trying to use the same facilities. I had grown so used to the poor life that I wasn’t sure I was ready to live on my own.On arrival, we took a detour to the main hall of the apartment building. The entrance was used by those who were not exclusive to the top floors. There, the receptionist handed me my personal keycard before letting us know that my stuff had been brought here already. I was curious how much of my stuff had actually made it here, or if they had even got the right room in the hospice.My room was on the floor below Kain, right next to Drake, apparently.Kain had left me and Drake to our own devices

“Pay attention everyone!” The loud voice startles me as I realise I’ve been daydreaming a bit too much this morning. I didn’t get as much sleep last night as I had hoped I would. At first, the silence had been too much, that it felt like I had gotten lost in the Outlands. That was until the sound of bumping and crashing started on the floor above me. The only apartment up there was Kain’s.I panicked at first. Not knowing if he was in danger or had fallen over. I was about ready to find Drake and go up to help Kain out… that was until the loud moans started. Confusion had filled my mind at first. Then slowly, I realised what was going on up there. Kain had a woman friend over and now I was paying the price.I tried everything to ignore it. To drown it out with my pillow over my head. Even tried to listen to my music with my headphones on. Nothing worked to quell the sound of Kain’s

A year has passed since everything happened and although a lot has changed, things have also stayed the same. I’ve become well known for my musical skills now, but Kain has caved in and allowed me to perform in a few acting roles. He has no more excuses to keep me to himself, outside of him mentoring me, as I have already proven I am one of the best Lotus Pond Entertainment has. However, I still have a long way to go before I am as popular as Kain used to be, so my promotion to the Face of the Company is still a long way off. Today, however, is the day Kain finally tells the entire world publicly about his plans for the company and me in particular. I have never felt so nervous and anxious as I do right now at this extravagant press conference. Out of all of my training, all of my public appearances, nothing has been so hyped up as this moment. It feels like everyone in the world is watching us right now, and they probably are!

Rose’s home is a place I never expected to find myself in, yet here I am with Kain, Drake, Rhiana, and even Wulf. I never thought I’d be happy to see him, but he has become a good friend, probably closer to me than Skyler, because he at least knows everything now, and I can trust him to keep it a secret. One day, I want to fill Skyler in too, but until Kain is ready to come out to the rest of the world, that isn’t an option. Wulf, much like Kain, prefers men but has openly flirted with women, to the point of being seen as a womanizer. The two have much in common but are very different people. I wish I could help Wulf find peace with himself over whoever hurt him, but all I can do is to be his friend and hope that’s enough. “You’re staring at me, Liam,” Wulf teases playfully, as he spots me looking in his direction. I blush faintly and look away. I don’t need him flirting with me while Kain is here! “S-sorry,” I mumble, looking at my lap

My whole body hurts from last night. There isn’t a part of me that doesn’t hurt. Even with Kain being overly gentle and preparing me beforehand, I still hurt. However, I wouldn’t change last night for anything. It was as perfect as things could have been. He wasn’t in one of his odd moods where he wanted to do strange things, instead, he was all gentle and loving towards me. Despite the aches I am in, I agreed to meet up with Wulf. After all, me not going back to his last night seemed to have worried him, even though he had received my text to tell him I would be safe. Besides, I probably should let him know that I’ve made up with the person who I like. Thankfully, Wulf agreed to meet me somewhere nearby and Kain has gone to work so that I do not have to worry about him getting jealous or clingy in front of Wulf. We should keep our make-up private until we’ve seen Malak Rose again. Once we’ve gotten him to back off, then

As soon as we get back to Kain’s apartment, his familiar scent fills my nose. I make sure Wulf knows I won’t be back tonight, as making him worry wouldn’t be fair at all. We may have started on the wrong foot, but he has become a friend during this entire ordeal. I’ve missed this place more than I thought I might, but I don’t get the chance to think much about our time apart as I find my back is pushed against the wall as soon as we lock the door behind us. Kain’s lips slam against mine, kissing me desperately. I can’t help but moan into his lips and wrap my arms around his neck. I’ve missed this so much that it hurts. I feel Kain’s hands lower down to my legs and hoist me up, causing my legs to wrap around his hips automatically. He breaks the kiss for a moment to mumble, “never leave me again, Liam. I can’t live without you at my side. These last few days have been awful.” I wiggle my nose at him in mock annoyan

Joy overflowed through my whole body, as everything I had wondered about Rhiana was confirmed by the two sitting across from me. She was indeed someone who preferred other women, and in fact, was planning on marrying her girlfriend of several years. “I started working here, just to get away from the hustle and bustle of a rich life, and to avoid my father. He often tries to drag me into his social parties to meet people,” Rhiana complained with a roll of her eyes. “This isn’t a glamorous life, but there are many people who love to spend cash on things they can’t touch, so I’m happy to get this sense of freedom.” “Your father is as old as mine. He should have retired a long time ago,” Kain says, shaking his head. He then takes another sip of his drink and then adds, “but why drag me involved in all this? Does he have money troubles?” “No, nothing like that. It might be my fault for avoiding this co

“Do you really hate me so much now?” The question Kain proposed to me had my heart pounding and aching so much that I felt dizzy and sick. Of course, I didn’t hate Kain! The problem wasn’t because I hated him, quite the opposite in fact! It was because I loved him so deeply, so hard, that it hurts to even see his face or hear his voice. “Sir, that isn’t helping at all. You’re just making him feel even more afraid,” Drake chided softly. “You don’t hate the boss, do you, Liam?” He then asked, his voice much softer. I shook my head slowly but refused to come out of my scrunched up position on the padded bench of the booth. It was a rather awkward position, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at anything around me. A sigh escaped Kain’s lips. It sounded like it relieved him to know I didn’t hate him. “Then you will not quit, right?” His question made me angry, but before I could shoot him a glare, he continued to say,

The flicker of the streetlight above my head is grinding my gears. I almost want to yell at the top of my voice for someone to come and fix the broken thing, but I don’t. I’ve already made a fool of myself once today, no reason to make such a thing known to the public too! I don’t know why Drake wanted to meet me here, of all places, but I can tell that this isn’t one of his usual hangouts. At least, none that he has ever taken me to before. The area is quite a distance away from where we work, to where I think we might even be closer to the Outskirts than anywhere near the city centre. The buildings are not quite falling apart, but they’ve certainly seen better days. That includes the annoying streetlight. Still, despite the almost rundown appearance, many people seem to come to this place. The sign gave little away about the type of hangout it was. All I could tell was that they named it, ‘The Moist Pussy’. I thought it was an odd nam

It has been almost a whole week now since I last saw Kain in person. It almost feels like he is avoiding me deliberately, much like I was doing to him. However, regardless if I am avoiding him or not, I can’t help but get even angrier at him for evading me for this long! Call me a hypocrite, but I don’t care at this point. He is such a jerk-face! I vow to myself, as soon as I see him, I am going to give him a piece of my mind! Maybe I’ll even go to his office and scold him! That’s an idea! However… the moment I get to his floor, I hesitate. I’m the one who ran out on him, crying no less. Now that I can see his office door, my anxiety has me unable to take another step forwards. What if he has already moved on and stopped caring about me? What if he has already met with this woman and she is all over him and I disturb them in the middle of something!? I can’t do this! I shake my head and turn around, darting back t
