2024-10-29 19:42:56The other young lad was just exiting the office as I made my back there. It hadn’t been long since I had left, but by the look of things, they had already rejected him. This did not surprise me; he wasn’t much older than me and his body type was not too dissimilar either. I offered him a small smile of comfort as I passed him by, but I had no intention of stopping to talk with him about things.
As I found myself back at the office, I could tell that the CEO was still within, as I heard him speaking with someone on the phone’s loudspeaker. I couldn’t quite hear who he was speaking with, but at a guess, it was the woman from before. I almost felt bad for interrupting them, but I felt this couldn’t wait until they finished.
I took a deep breath in and opened the door with a bit more force than I had planned to use. Kain paused in what he was talking about and looked up at me through his glasses. He did not look impressed to see me in the least. In

Shiya had been rather nice to me on the way down to the lobby and walked me to the front doors before leaving me outside to go back to her own work. She did not comment on what I had done, perhaps because there wasn’t much more to say about it. I just couldn’t believe someone like the Wulf man had got the job over me and had somehow kept it despite the filth he was. I couldn’t move from the spot for a while before I sighed and took a few steps to head home. I hesitated and looked back at the building. No. I would not give up just yet. There had to be a way to make the CEO see I was more than qualified to work for him. The fire inside of me hadn’t gone out just yet. I just needed an idea. I couldn’t go back into the building without the risk of security being called on me, but I could wait out here. There was no way Kain Jones used the front entrance, though. That meant there had to be a back entrance people came in and out of to come and go unn

The first blow lands in my gut, causing me to buckle over as far as I can go while being held by the big dude behind me. I don’t even have that much money on me, or even a phone. I had to scrape up what little I could just to afford the outfit for today and that meant selling what little I owned. It was a cruel irony in a way. The leader didn’t hold back his punches and when he had grown bored with hitting me; he let his friends have their fun. At least they weren’t punching my face… THWACK My cheek stung from the blow. I shouldn’t have tested fate by thinking about it. It was inevitable, really. Another blow landed on my other cheek. Regardless, I did my best to endure their onslaught of punches. As they slowed down, I shot them a small glare. I refused to give them the satisfaction of showing them any pain. Big mistake. The leader had the big fellow knock me to the ground and before I could get up or roll away, the fiv

When Kain had said limo, he had really meant the longest freaking car in the entire world. I was pretty sure he had a swimming pool in this limo, a bar and probably an entire house! Or maybe I was just being overly dramatic because I was not used to seeing a limo… all I knew was that this really was the longest car I had ever seen in my life! I was so stunned at the size of this thing that I had almost forgotten about the beating I had just endured. Drake seemed somewhat uncomfortable allowing Kain to open his own car door, but with me in his arms, he had little choice. Once the limo’s door was open, I remembered what was going on and tried to squirm my way out of his grasp. “You don’t need to take me anywhere. I’m fine and will manage!” I try to protest, but Drake doesn’t seem to listen to my request to be let go. Kain stands aside and allows Drake to put me into the limo, but before I can make my way back out again, Kain is already ge

For most of the ride, I spend it gawking at the various things inside the limo. There really is a whole cocktail bar in here! No swimming pool, but there are various options to turn it into a party car with working lights and all! I can’t even imagine how much this thing costs to own, let alone keep it in working order. I am so tempted to press some buttons and find out what each of them does, but I remind myself that I would only annoy Kain by doing so. I spare a glance at him, but he is fully engrossed in his work right now. Looking back at the buttons, I mull over each of them before turning my attention to the bar with the various drinks. I admit I am envious of Kain’s lavish lifestyle. I can only dream of this sort of thing right now. It takes about half an hour before the limo slows down and Kain finally puts his tablet away. He looks down at a watch on his wrist and then smiles to himself. He then turns to face me and nods his he

The elevator ride takes nearly too long, but on the plus side, once we’ve got out of the basement section of the building, we can see the view outside of the elevator’s building and onto the streets below. We’re in a much quieter area of the major city of Krusas. Directly below us, and what must be the backyard of this lavish resort-style apartment complex, is a tremendously luscious garden complete with water fountains, a maze and a large gazebo where I assume bands play their music for guests during social gatherings. I can’t help but gawk at it all. I’ve seen sizable gardens before, there are some the public can use, but they’re never anything like this and they’re far and few between in this monstrous city. No one really remembers when the city came to be, or who really runs it because we don’t really have any elected officials here, but many say that the richest of families were the founders and it is from them that the city continues to grow and

As the lights come on, I am amazed at what I see. The hallway leading into the apartment isn’t long, but it is wide. To the right is a spacious bathroom built with a walk-in bath, which might actually be a Jacuzzi! There is also a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. The whole thing looks absolutely stunning. Though the one thing that stands out above all else is the large windows and mirrors. It’s not like anyone can see anything this high up, but I still feel conscious about how visible it feels in there. Like there is no privacy at all. I manage to peel my eyes away from the bathroom, only to find myself within the living room with an open-plan dining room at the back. Large, comfortable-looking sofas and couches sit in the middle of the room, all facing the wall where an extensive flatscreen TV is mounted. Everything looks tidy, with nothing out of place here. Several bookcases line another wall, all of them full of DVD’s or books. Many of them

An 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

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
