“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
