2021-11-03 00:22:23“Father, please. Don’t you think this is a little unusual in this day and age? No one arranges a marriage for their children anymore,” Kain’s voice lacked any warmth within it. However, he was a master at concealing his emotions to where no one knew they upset him if they had. I knew he was not happy about being forced into anything such as marriage. Not to mention my own reservations!
Kain’s father peered at his son critically before saying, “and yet you do nothing but experiment with every woman you come across, never once settling down. It is a bad image for the company for you to be messing around in such a childish way. Besides, this union will be good for both of our companies.”
I swallowed hard. I wanted to protest, but I couldn’t say anything. Fear of losing Kain washed over me. Even if I fought to keep Kain, the two of us could risk our jobs. While I would give up anything, even my chances of being a star for Kain, I wasn’t sure he wou

Tonight wasn’t even halfway done and already I was exhausted. Learning Kain was being blackmailed into an arranged marriage, and then finding out I was supposed to be taking over his spot as the company’s most popular entertainer? It was all too much! I floundered my way back to Skyler as soon as I had found her again. It had annoyed her when I had ‘dumped’ her, but as soon as she found out the (singular) reasoning behind it; me being introduced to the Sponsor as Kain’s protegee; she quickly forgave me. I did not mention the blackmail. That was not something anyone else could ever learn. “Ah! I knew there had to be some reason! But to never once tell you!? I’m so surprised! I would have thought he would have said something sooner!” Skyler said as she took my hands into her own and was shaking them up and down to congratulate me. “All the personal lessons, all the events you got dragged to, it all makes sense now!” I offered a nervous la

Flopping down on the couch, I spread my arms and legs out in exhaustion. I wasn’t sure I had any more energy to deal with anything else tonight. Drake had brought us back from our night out and had chatted the entire way home, unknowing about what had happened. Not that I had expected him to have known. He had spent the night with a date and did not spend any of his time with us. Kain was pretty silent the entire way home, and all I could do was silently offer him comfort while Skyler was still with us. The moment we had dropped her off, I held Kain tightly until he had stopped grinding his teeth in frustration. I decided I wouldn’t leave his side tonight, no matter what. “You look stressed.” Kain’s gentle voice hit my ears like a bell. I lift my head from the couch and offer him a small smile. “Want a massage?” He then offered. I couldn’t help but laugh a little and shook my head slowly. Silly man.

“Damnit, damnit, damnit!” Kain’s voice startled me awake. It was still early, but for some ungodly reason, Kain had woken up early and was now cursing downstairs. Rolling over, I look at the alarm clock. It has barely gone past seven in the morning! I groan and slowly slide myself out of the bed. I grab my boxers to at least attempt to hold some sort of modesty, but I’m not that bothered by it as much as I used to be. It’s rare Kain has visitors besides Drake, and I doubt he would be here this early. As I make my way down the stairs, I see a half-naked Kain pacing over by the couch with his laptop open to his email page. I can’t read it from here, but I don’t need to see or read it to know that he has the information needed to start our investigation. As I reach Kain’s side, I offer his arm a gentle touch. He glances back at me, surprised to see me awake this early when there’s no need to be. “Sorry, did I wake you?” He asks sof

I never thought my whole body could feel so numb and cold. I gawked at the picture in front of us for a long time, unable to say or do anything. Kain was even quieter than I am, though I know he is handling this situation even worse. I can barely breathe, but finally my gaze shifts from the photo to Kain. His face was a pale white, but I have no words that can comfort him right now. Looking back at the photo, it is very clear who those two men are. It is us and we’re not exactly hiding our affections for each other. I had thought we had kept anything between us a complete secret, but this photo proved me wrong. “I have to admit, I did not care to do this,” Malak said, giving us time to view the photo before he placed it back where he got it from. “When Liam turned me down, I was willing to accept my losses, but then when I saw how you responded to everything and became possessive, I wondered why. It was curious, the great

I can feel my heart shattering into a thousand little pieces as Kain accepts Malak’s terms to keep our secret from having been in a same-sexed relationship. That a man who also likes other men could even conceive of such a notion to do this to someone else, while knowing the pain something like this could cause, has my mind seeing nothing but red. He doesn’t have the risk of losing his company if he ‘came out’ as gay, so he never hid it, but Kain stands to lose everything. This whole thing is not okay! I can’t stand for this kind of injustice! There is no way I am about to let Kain go through with this! Not in a million years! “I’ll give you twenty-four hours. Get back to me with your ultimate answer through your father. If you agree, we will plan and set everything up. You need not worry about handling anything,” Malak says as he slowly stands up with that charming smile of his. Sharply, I shoot him an angry glare. “I don’t know who yo

I can barely see where I am going because of the constant flow of tears trailing down my face. I don’t stop though, even as I almost run into several people who yell at me for not watching where I am going. The only thought in my mind is that I need to get away from Kain for a while. I don’t have anywhere in mind that I think I should go, but I know I can’t go home right now. He can easily get into my place if he wanted to, being the owner of the building, so going there right now is out of the question!I’m not sure where I ended up after I had exhausted myself, to where I couldn’t run anymore, but by the time I had finally stopped, nothing looked familiar anymore. Leaning against one building, I rubbed at my eyes, trying to dry the tears, but no matter how much I tried, they just would not stop flowing. I had no plans beyond running off, and my mind just wasn’t focused to think of what I&rsquo

Wulf’s place loomed over me like a bad, drunken decision. Why I thought agreeing to his offer was a good idea, I will never know, but I relented after thinking things over. If I went back to my roots, I might never work in show business again, as people would assume I couldn’t handle the pressure and would flee every time an issue reared its ugly head. Plus, Drake and Kain would know where to look for me there.The only other option was to ask Skyler, but I didn’t want to burden her, and knowing my poor luck, she would force the reason out of me and I did not want to out Kain anyway, not even my friend. Part of me still loved him, even now, while my heart was shattering into a million pieces.“I live alone,” Wulf said nonchalantly as he unlocked the door to his home. He lived in a rather luxurious apartment complex. Unlike the one I now lived in, this one was not so hotel-like and was more like a group of flats built

The slightly floaty feeling in my head feels good. Whatever alcohol Wulf put in this drink really does wonders for getting you tipsy, and now that I am pacing myself, there is far less risk of me getting too drunk and spilling the beans to Wulf about me and Kain. I have to admit, I would have thought Wulf would have taken advantage of the situation, but true to his word, he never once placed a hand on me. Nor did he push his questions, though I can tell that he is dying to know what had me so upset.“Will you be going to work tomorrow?” The sudden question catches me off guard. I glance at Wulf while mulling over the question. He takes a long sip of his drink as he waits for my answer. It is a good question to ask. I would have been training with Kain tomorrow, but there’s no way I can do that now.After some thought, I offer a shrug in reply. “I probably shouldn’t avoid going in, but I might u

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!
I am not Your Love Story CH83
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
