“Right there,” I moaned, fisting his luscious hair as his tongue delved into my most sensitive area, lapping up all of my juices. “Oh God,” my head hits the pillow when he thrusted his tongue inside of me. the sounds he made only served to intensify the sensation.

“Do you want to cum?”

“Yes,” I said tightening both my hands on his hair, grinding on his face. “Yes, I want to c-cum,” I shuddered as I continued to grind on his face. “Fuck, it feels so good,” I threw my head, my hips rising and falling as he tongue fucked me.

“How bad do you want to cum?” I let out a sound between a squeal and a moan, but I was too deep to be embarrassed about it. “Tell me,” he prodded, his fingers sinking into my pussy, curling to that spot that had my hips bucking up and off the bed.

“Oh my God, right there,” I moaned, my mouth forming an o shape as I rode his fingers. “Please don’t stop. I’m so close,” I moaned.

“I decide when you cum,” I whined, gripping his wrist. I can hear how wet I am, his fingers moving in and out of me.

“Please, I want to cum so bad, please,” I moaned. I’m so close and if he stops, I’ll be really upset. It feels so good I don’t want to stop. Just a little more. I rubbed my clit, my body quivering. My eyes rolled to the back of the head as I came all over his fingers. “I’m cumming,” there was a loud beeping noise close by. I couldn’t concentrate on it while chasing my orgasm.

“Cum,” his voice coaxed me into a blissful sensation, his fingers moving in and out of me. Not long, his mouth was on me again, his tongue lapping me up. I shuddered, sinking back on the bed, panting. I kept my eyes closed while I catch my breath.

He finally came up for a kiss that I welcomed, wrapping my arms around him. He hummed, seemingly content. “You taste so fucking good I don’t want to stop,” I hummed lazily. The beeping was stopping. “But you have to WAKE UP!-“ I opened and there, Mr Stark is hovering above me. I screamed, “Aahh-“

“Aaah! What the fuck!”

“Oh shi-“ I groaned as I toppled to the floor with a loud thud, straining my shoulder in the process. Blinking my eyes open, the beeping sound is still going on.

“Oh my God, Miles!” I looked up to see Indra peering down at me at the edge of the bed.

Fuck. I was dreaming. Oh, my fucking God, I had a sex dream. With my boss.

“Aaahh! Fuck!!! Shit!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, thrashing against the comfort wrapped around my body. “What the hell?!!”

“What’s wrong with you?” Indra inquired. When I didn’t say anything, Indra started giggling. “I don’t know if I was dreaming, but I think I heard you moan,” I shot up, my wide eyes meeting hers. She burst out laughing then, rolling on the bed. “Oh my God, you manwhore. You were having a wet dream?” she giggled.

“Shut up,” I pointed a finger at her. “Stop being gross,”

“You were having a sex dream,” she repeated. “Who was it?” she asked.

“I’m not telling you that,” I grumbled under my breath.

“So, it’s true,” she confirmed. “Oh my…”

“Please…don’t,” I groaned, burying my face in the comforter still wrapped around my legs. I had rolled off bed with it. I moved my shoulder, wincing a little. “Can you turn off the alarm?” Indra was quick to tap on the alarm clock, stopping it.

“Tell me who was it,” she said.

“It was a dream, you sex freak,” I glared at her. she only smiled at me, kicking her legs behind her. “Ugh, you’re the worst,”

“If you moaned like that, then I deserve to know the person who can make you blush like that,” she pointed out.

“Black people don’t blush,” I stated, getting up.

“Blushing isn’t always visual,” she pointed out.

“It was Mr Stark,” she gasped as soon as the words left my mouth. “Don’t you dar-“

“Aaaaahhhhh!” Indra screamed, standing up at the speed of lightening before she started jumping on the bed, doing a little happy dance.

“Hey! You’re going to break the bed. I’m not paying for it,” I said moving to push her. Right now, I don’t care if she falls and busts her head open. I’d do just about anything to get her to forget about all of this. I grabbed a pillow, ready to swing when she jumped down, running away.

“Office sex was that good, huh?” she said turning to me with a shit eating grin. “Wow, now I want to know what you saw,” she said laughing. She screamed when I lunged for her, swinging the pillow.

“Shut it already,” I said running after her. “I’ve had enough of you, you piece of shit,”

“Your phone’s ringing!” she yelled as she ran across the room. I slowed down, eyeing it next to alarm clock.

“Good morning, Mr Stark,” I greeted, and Indra wiggled her brows at me. I turned my back on her.

“Come to my place,” Mr Stark said, not even greeting me back. To be expected. “We leave at ten o’clock,”

“Yes sir, I’ll be there,” I said. He hung up.

“Yes daddy, I’ll be there, on my knee-“

“Ay shut it,” I threw the pillow across the room.

“God gave me the bestest of best friend, I swear,” she said laughing. “I swear you’re the best,”

“Bestest isn’t a word,” I said gathering the comforter. “Now, come and help me make this bed ‘cos you ruined it,”

“You’re the rolling off the bed with the comforter, while dreaming about McDaddy,” she said taking the other side.

“McDaddy?” I quirked a brow. “That’s the worst one yet,”

“Shall we try…McSteamy?”

“Shall we try…nothing?”

“Okay, hurry up and get to your man then,”

“I hate you,” I said dropping everything. I slammed the door on my way to the shower, succeeding in muffling her laughter. I started the shower before going to pee. I pulled down the shorts and underwear. My eyes widened when I saw the crotch of the underwear. I did not just…

“What the fuck is wrong with me?”

*****

“Everything’s ready, Mr Stark,” I said my eyes glued to the plan I had drafted two days ago. Mr Stark went ahead, getting in the private jet, with his best friend, Mr Kendrick. They were having a conversation I wasn’t interested in, so I occupied myself with my iPad, double checking. I wasn’t watching where I was going, and I ended up running into someone.

“Sorry,” Mr Stark peered down at me with a silent scowl. How is he taller than me? I hadn’t noticed the height difference until now. “I got…distracted,” I said waving the iPad in his face.

Once everything had settled down and the jet had taken off, I turned to Mr Stark and…froze. My eyes glued to him, I froze, my mind deciding now was the time to mess with me.

“What’s wrong with him?” I hear Mr Kendrick ask, eyeing me. “Is it your first time flying?” he asked me, and I blinked, grateful for the distraction. I dropped my eyes back to the iPad. I did catch Mr Stark rolling his eyes while he down a glass of whatever that was.

“He walked in on me and Isabelle,” Mr Stark stated, making Mr Kendrick whistle. “He’s been acting weird since then,”

“I’m not…acting weird,” I said quietly.

“Well…welcome to the club,” Mr Kendrick said chuckling to himself. “You’ll get used to it,” I frowned at that. “I walk in on him and his women quite a few times,” he explained.

“Oh,” was all I could manage. This happens all the time.

“Are you talking about the blonde Isabelle?” he turns to Mr Stark. When he nodded, “I thought you said you weren’t interested in her,”

“I was desperate,” was all Mr Stark said. Ouch. That’s a bit too harsh. “It didn’t even…work. The woman makes obnoxious moans,” Mr Stark’s face twisted in disgusted. Mr Kendrick laughed.

“You already knew that, and you still called her,” Mr Kendrick said, laughing at his best friend. “You’re supposed to be celibate. You’re getting married,”

“I don’t owe Eloise any dignity,” Mr Stark grumbled under his breathe. I cringed. I shouldn’t be listening to this.

“Whore,” Mr Kendrick said taunting Mr Stark.

“Miles,” Mr Stark calls out.

“Sir?” I looked up. When both of them looked at me expectantly.

“You were telling me something,” Mr Stark said with a confused look. Mr Kendrick laughed at me.

“You broke the poor kid, man,” he said eyeing me sideways.

“Yes,” I said clearing my throat. “I was…telling you something,” I said looking down at the iPad. “I was going to book you to a hotel, but Mrs Stark said you will be staying with the Romans…so,”

“Miles, do you work for me or my mother?” Mr Stark inquired.

“You sir,” I said.

“Then book the hotel room,” he said.

“It’s already done, sir,” I said quietly. “I was just checking. Should I also book for…Mr Kendrick?” I asked him. “You didn’t…tell me he was coming,”

“Oh no don’t worry, you won’t be seeing me,” Mr Kendrick said. “I already have a place to stay,”

“Yes sir,”

“Dude, you supposed to be with your soon-to-be bride. The closer the better,” Mr Kendrick was clearly taunting Mr Stark. “Why sleep in those cold sheets when you can get cuddles in the mansion,”

“I don’t want to be near that woman any longer than I have to,” Mr Stark grumbled under his breath.

“The Romans are expecting you, sir,” I said. “Mr Kevin Roman requested a meeting with you at two o’clock,”

“Cancel it,” he said.

“Eloise is pretty. I’m sure you’ll get along with her,” Mr Kendrick spoke up when neither of us said anything for a minute or two. “I bet she’s a virgin too,” he smirked.

“Can you shut up?” Mr Stark turned to his friend. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”

“What? I’m being supportive here,” Mr Kendrick. “You look miserable, so I’m trying to cheer you up,” he said with a goofy smile. Mr Stark’s face twisted in disgust.

“For the love of the fucking God, stop making that face,” he groaned, making Mr Kendrick laugh.

“I just don’t get why you’re going ahead with this,” he said with a shrug. “I get that it was your dad’s wish or something, but you can’t not see these people are playing with your mother. And I don’t think the marriage alliance is necessary,”

“What do you suggest I do?”

“I don’t know,” Mr Kendrick said with a shrug. “Anything but that,”

“Seriously? You’re telling me not to do this and that’s your response?”

“What? I own a club, not a multi-billion company,” Mr Kendrick said in defence. Mr Stark only grumbled under his breath. “Okay, but look on the bright side,” Mr Stark slowly turned to Mr Kendrick. “You get a pretty wife,” he smiled.

“Motherfucker, I’ll kill you right now, if you don’t shut your mou-“

“I’m just saying that you don’t have to deal with an ugly face when ya’ll are fucki-“

“I’m not fucking her,” Mr Stark said.

“You’ll get desperate,” Mr Kendrick pointed. “What was your longest…free from sex time?” he asked him. “Two days? That’s what I thought. You two will be fucking like rabbits in no time. If you look on the bright side, once you’re married, the world will no longer see you as the manwhore,”

“Liam, are you calling me a whore?”

“It’s no me, it’s the press and the public,” he shrugged.

“And you don’t fuck around?” Mr Stark snapped back.

“Hey, don’t fuck with me. I’m sentimental about it, okay? There’s a difference,” I frowned. How does that make it any better?

“And that’s supposed to make it better?” Mr Stark rose a brow.

“Yeah, it does,” Mr Kendrick nodded to himself, seemingly proud of the ‘sentimental’ part. “And if you don’t stop before the wedding is announced, your mother will be on your back,” he laughed to himself before adding. “I can almost hear her. ‘Emmanuel, I raised you better than that. Pull yourself together.’ She’s delusional thinking she can change you,” I snickered under my breath and quickly covered it with a cough when they both turned to me.

“Miles Manando,” I tensed. “Are you laughing?”

“No sir,” I said clearing my throat. “Definitely not laughing,”

“He was laughing,” Mr Kendrick said eyeing me with a smirk. “And he agrees with me,” I looked between the two friends.

Deciding I’ve heard enough of their conversation, I stood up. “I’ll just be…in the bedroom,” I said pointing to the close door at the end of the jet. “If you don’t mind. It’s a long flight and I didn’t get much sleep, so…” I grabbed my phone and everything else that belongs to me.

I can’t believe I had to listen to that.

*****

“Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?” I asked, looking around the hotel apartment they’d allocated to Mr Stark. It had the perfect view of the city lights. I know I’d stay glued up against the glass wall every night, just to look at that beautiful view. Sadly, I cannot afford this place, so I found a cheaper hotel not too far from this one. I’d rented a car so I can get to Mr Stark faster, should he need me.

“We’re going to the Romans tomorrow at 10 o’clock,” he said taking his coat off.

“I know sir,” I said. When he turns to me, I realised I should have said ‘yes sir’ even though I already knew of tomorrow’s schedule. “Yes sir,” I said looking away.

“You can leave,” he said.

“I can call room service for you, before I g-“

“I know how to make a call, Mr Manando,” he said.

“Okay, then…have a good night, sir,” I said making my way to the door.

On my way to the hotel, I stopped by the local restaurant to get myself dinner. I almost shit myself when I realised how expensive things were compared to the South African currency. I’m losing over a hundred dollars over a meal and a cheap ass wine bottle. Fuck.

Going back to my place, I realised how fucked I am. Here I’d assumed that we would be staying no more than a week here, and now I’m not so sure. I feel like this will be a long process; whatever Mr Stark is trying to do with the Romans. I don’t have enough money. Fuck. I grabbed my wallet and sat down on the bed, counting. How’d I get Mr Stark’s schedule perfect, and I screw up mine? You know what, I’m just going to call Indra.

“Found any chick yet?” was the first thing I heard when she answered.

“The obsession you have with my love or sexual life is concerning Indra,” I said rolling my eyes. “We just got here, and I realised I’m too broke for this lifestyle,” Indra bursts out laughing. I plugged in my air pods and shoved my phone in my jean pockets before unpacking my travelling bag, getting ready for the night. “This isn’t a laughing matter, you idiot,”

“I’m sorry, it’s just the way you said. What’s up?” she said.

“I just realised I don’t know how long Mr Stark will be and so I booked myself into a cheaper hotel, but my wallet doesn’t think it’s cheap, so I’m fucked,”

“How much do you want me to send you?” she asked. And it’s reasons like these that I stuck around with her annoying ass.

“I’ll send you the total in dollars and you figure it o-“

“Shit, I’m about to go broke over your dumbass,” she said. “Why didn’t you stay with Mr Stark?”

“Excuse me?” she giggled.

“What? He can pay for you to sleep in silky clean sheets, mixed with his strong arms around your wai-“

“Shut up,” I groaned, reaching for my small bag. I looked through it, checking to see if I missed anything. “I don’t even know why I called you?”

“Because you love me,” she said laughing. “It’s quiet without you here. If I get robbed, it’s on you,”

“Tell the robbers to saw your mouth shut,” I snorted.

“Bitch,”

“See? You don’t shu-“ I froze when it finally dawned on me, I forgot something. “Oh no,” I rummaged through the whole bags. “Oh no, this can’t be happening,”

“What’s happening?” Indra asked. I looked around, my heart hammering in my chest. “Miles, what’s-“

“Indra, can you check if I left my meds in the nightstand? The one on the right,” I asked.

“Oh no bitch, you didn’t,” I heard her shuffling. I came looking while she went over to my place. “They’re all here,” my heart sank. “How do you leave the most important?”

“I was rushing in the morning. I didn’t think Mr Stark would call until later in the afternoon or something,” I said. “I’m fucked,”

“You got pads with you?” Indra asked.

“Yes, I have the emergency pack with me, but it won’t be enough,” I said sitting at the edge of the bed.

“Okay, you have your prescription card with you?” I grabbed my wallet, looking for it.

“Yeah, I do,”

“Great, get to the nearest pharmacy store and get new meds,” she said.

“Indra, it’s ten o’clock in the night here,”

“Then you better pray they don’t close early or at all,” she said. “Get moving,”

“Uh…okay, I’ll call you,” I said.

I drove around the area, looking for any pharmacy that might be open. When I ended up driving to town and thankfully, they weren’t closed. Walking in, I rushed to the counter, right at the back. There was another guy also waiting.

“Hi,” he greeted me. I looked for the worker. “She’s…uh, busy with something at the moment,” he told me. I turned to him. He smiled at me.

“Sorry, hi,” I said. “I just…my mind’s pretty occupied,”

“Oh no it’s cool man,” he said. I nodded. “Where you from?” I quirked a brow at him, and he chuckled lowly. “That was weird, wasn’t it?” he said. “Your accent. I don’t think I’m familiar,”

“South Africa,” I said. “I’m from South Africa,”

“That’s cool. You’re here for vacation? It’s quite a long trip, I suppose,” he said. “I mean, you’re right at the bottom of Africa,” I laughed at that. When he looks at me like I grew a second head, I stopped.

“This might sound offensive, but I was expecting something along the lines of you thinking South Africa is the continent and not a country,” he laughed. “I get that a lot more than I’d like to admit. So, this is quite refreshing,”

“No, I get you,” he said. “I mean, I’m American, so I know exactly what you’re talking about. I guess you could say I paid attention to Geography,” we both share a laugh while I looked around the lady who’s supposed to be here. “I’m Sam,” he held out his hand.

“Miles,” I said shaking his hand.

There’s a moment of silence before he speaks again. “So, vacation?”

“Oh no, business trip,” I said. When he frowned, I added, “I’m here with the boss. I’m his PA,”

“Damn, that’s got to be some top-notch job or something,” Sam says. I frowned at that. “You know the boss personally. And in a way, you get to hang out with the top dogs,”

“I guess,”

“Which company is it?”

“Stark Corp,” his eyes widened at that.

“No way,” he said turning his full body to me. “Emmanuel Stark?”

“Yeah,”

“Well now I’m definitely jealous,” he said. “That’s lit man. Salute,” he said bumping fists with me.

“It’s not a big deal,” I shrugged.

“Dude, you’re one of the wealthiest man’s PA, that’s a freakin’ big deal,” he said. “Or that’s what I think. I thought about taking that route, but then I don’t have that kind of patience nor intelligence,” he shook his head. “I mean if you think about it, half the times, the company is in your hands. If I messed up, I’d just straight-out cry,” I laughed.

“I think I’ve done that in the beginning. You get used to it eventually,” I said laughing. “You just have to learn what to avoid and learn how he likes things done, then you should be fine,”

“No but the rich businessmen have got to be the meanest,” Sam said. “I can’t handle that,”

“Mr Stark isn’t mean, he just doesn’t like certain things,” I said with a shrug.

“You’re either really nice or you’re sleeping with the boss,” I gasped turning to Sam. He held his hands up, laughing.

“I’m not…gay,” I protested.

“Then you’re really a nice person,” he said smiling at me. “You’re blushing,” he pointed out.

“Black people don’t blush,” I blurted out.

“Because turning pink is the only form of blushing, huh?” he said with a knowing smirk when I smacked my lips closed. Thankfully, the lady came back.

“I’m sorry Sam, but these are the only ones I could find,” the lady said handing Sam pills. “Check in with us in the next…four days. Or you can go to the-“

“It’s fine,” Sam said grabbing the pills. “I’ll just go up my bills at the hospital tomorrow,” he said sadly. “Period pains suck,” he added.

“Hi, how can I help you?” the lady turns to me with a smile.

“Uh,” I looked sideways at Sam. “I’m on a business trip, from South Africa and I forgot my prescribed meds. Is there a chance I could get them here?”

“Do you have the card?” I placed it on the counter. The lady sighed, looking up at me sadly. “I’m sorry sweetie, we ran out. This is a low-cost drug store, so I don’t always have the stock. I just gave Sam the last pills. I really am sorry,”

“Fuck,” I am royally screwed.

“You’re transgender,” I hear Sam speak up. Turning to him, he’s anything but judging. He’s smiling at me.

“Yes,” I said with a sigh. “I am a transman,” his smile widened, and I’m left confused. “Can I get sanitary pads and ibuprofen, please,” I said.

“Period pains suck,”

“You can say that again,” Sam agreed.

*****

Okay so, first things first, please be advised that I’ve never been to Seattle, so I don’t know how it works, alright? I’ve never seen, smelt, or tasted anything Seattle related, so if you see anything wrong with the above chapter, know that it’s made up or part of the plot to keep the storyline going. If there’s anything worth changing that won’t alter the storyline, feel free to let me know.

And I think we’re familiar with transgender people taking hormonal pills for various reasons. I just stated the menstrual cycle part, but there’s obviously more, right? I believe they take testosterone meds. I think they are called Exogenous testosterone and they’re used to induce virilization suppress feminizing characteristics. Virilization is basically a condition in which a female develops characteristics associated with male hormones (androgens), or when a new-born has characteristics of male hormone exposure at birth.

And just a reminder, Miles transitioned from female to male, so he’s a transman.

Until next time, people.

    “Candice,” “Huh?” I turned to Sam. “My-“ he paused, looking out the window. “Her name was Candice,” he said quietly. “Oh no, you don’t have to tell me,” I said quickly. “I’m a stranger, after all,” Sam turns to me with a small smile. “I know,” he said. “Sometimes it helps to talk,” he murmured. “I haven’t exactly been doing that for a long time and…you’re the first transman I've met, so…” he looked at me sideways. “If you don’t mind,” “No, it’s okay,” I nodded. “I was eighteen when I first started the treatment.

    “Why?” I looked up to both Anthony and Mr Stark standing at the top of the stairs, overlooking the front door. “What do you mean, why?” Mr Stark asked. “I mean why me?” “Is that a trick question?” “No Emmanuel, just…tell me what it is that you’re trying to do that could get me killed by Kevin in my sleep,” Anthony said. “It’s simple, if you’d taken your rightful place, none of this would be happening right now,” Mr Stark said. “Kevin doesn’t know anything besides bragging about the damn position-“ “But you know the situation here,” “I do, but that’s not my problem,” Mr Stark said. “If they need my help, they’ll do as I say,” I wasn’t too far from them so I could hear them talking. I was checking out the notes Eloise jotted down for Mr Stark, in my absence. I needed to know the way forward with this, so that I’m well prepared and I don’t make thing hard

    “Maybe I can fake sickness,” I said pacing around the bathroom mirror. “You’ll do no such thing,” Indra said. “You’re going to go out with Mr Stark and his friends, and you will drink your problems away,” “Bitch you know what happens when I drink alcohol,” “It’s not going to happen, relax,” she said. “You’re with your boss. Unless you want to sleep with him, everything will be fine,” “No this is a terrible idea,” I said looking at myself through the mirror. “I’m not goin-“ “What are the chances that he fires you for not going?” Indra said cutting me off. “If he wants you there, and you go against his words, he’ll fire you. Think Miles,” she said. “Think ‘best job in the world’ gone, just like that,” “You’re a dick, you know that” I groaned. “Fine I’m going. Anything happens, it’s on you,” “Good. Back t

    “Miles, if you don’t come out of the bathroom, I’m firing you,” I hear Mr Stark call out eventually, possibly two hours later. I’d probably sat on the floor, wrapped around Mr Stark’s bed cover, and zoned out. I’d panicked until I couldn’t. Now, I’m just…stuck. Stuck in the presence and I don’t know how to take a step forward for the fear of what I might find. I can still see Mr Stark’s shadow underneath the door. I want to get scared. I want to believe that he’ll really fire me, but until I shake off this numbness, I don’t think I care at the moment. Countless times, I panicked, and I wanted to cry but I couldn’t. I’m just…stuck. Bottomline is that I ruined everything. I slept with my boss, and this changes everything. I’ll lose my job. I don’t even remember what happened. How did we even get to that? And…what about Anthony? I remember the way they were so close. In a sexual way, but really close. And now I went ahead and do this. How cou

    Seven o’clock in the evening and I’m curled up, cocooned in the blankets, the pain back and demanding. I’d taken the pills again and the only thing that was working for me was the device. Sadly, I gave it back to the owner. If we were back home and Martha was still on leave, I’d worry about Mr Stark’s dinner, but he can call room service. I just don’t want to move when my body is ripping itself apart. I’m sweating again and I’m silently praying I don’t have to get up and throw up again. A knock on the door and I pulled the blanket over my head, my heart hammering in my chest. I really don’t want to see Mr Stark. Not now. I don’t think I want to be in the same room as him. He knocks again and I want to pretend to be asleep. I know for a fact he’d most likely yell at me for not eating the meal we’d stopped to buy on the way here, on Anthony’s command to ‘Emmanuel’. I got so used to calling him Mr Stark that it’d feel weird to call him by his

    “Dude, you’re a Sirenio?” Anthony gawked at me. “But Mr Stark just said that the missing heir to the Sirenio is a woman,” Eloise said in confusion. “Does than mean you’re the one who’s supposed to be taking over from your father,” “He’s not my father,” “But she just said you’re a Sireni-“ “I’m not a Sirenio and he’s not my father,” I turned back to auntie Genevieve who’s eyeing me with a knowing look. “So you didn’t tell your friends who you are,” she said. “They are business colleagues, not friends,” I murmured. “And I don’t need to tell them anything. It would have been nice to keep it that way,” I said looking at her with a disappointed look. “Boy don’t give me that look, I’m still you auntie,” she said backhanding my arm. I laughed quietly. “No one knows who you are,” “No,” I said. “Well, aside from them and…Indra,” auntie Gen gasped.

    “It kinda sucks that it’s your birthday and you’re not here,” I rolled my eyes at Indra. Out of all the times, she’d chose now to do a video call when I can’t even find my iPods. I yawned, as I looked through the available fridge to see if there’s anything I can eat. “It’s just another day, Indra,” I murmured, frowning when I realised that we’re not in Mr Stark’s apartment and there’s room service. “Ugh, there’s nothing to eat here,” I slumped on the isle stood, grabbing the phone. My heart almost jumps out of my chest when Mr Stark suddenly appears in the doorway. “Indra, let me-“ “This is the first time we’re apart on our birthdays,” Indra said quietly. “You said you’d come back in a week. Two weeks’ over now,” “Something came up,” I said. “I have to do something important today in London,” I refused to look at Mr Stark’s naked torso as he leaned against the doorway, looking at me. He’s doing this on purpose. “You’r

    “You did great,” Ludo says, standing next to me. “Seriously, you were bitch and badass in there. Honestly, no one’s ever talked to father that way,” he said. “It was hilarious,” I grabbed my phone, dialling Indra’s number. “Are you okay?” “Why wouldn’t I be?” I casted him a look, placing the phone to my ear. “I mean, after what happened in there,” he inquired. “Is there a room I can use?” I asked him, looking around. “Yeah, over there,” he pointed at the door, opposite the boardroom. “No one uses it,” I hurried to the said room just as Indra picked up my call.“Hi,”“Hey,” I let out a heavy breath, sinking on the floor, my heart still hammering. I can’t believe I just did that. “Uh…can you-“ I sucked in a sharp breath. “I think I’m about to have a panic attack,” I said leaning my head back. “I just need to hear your voice,” I let out shakily. “Okay, uhm…” Indra is quiet and fo

    I must have hallucinated my mother. Or maybe I died and came back to life. Either way, it’s impossible and I would never know. I’m grateful though. That I will be seeing my mother in that manner and not like how I last saw her in London. What I wish I was hallucinating right now was Mrs Stark trying to feed me and actually being fussy about my wellbeing. That one, I wished I was hallucinating. This woman unnerves me. I’ve always known her as the controlling, demanding and entitled type. Never this caring for someone as low as a PA to her son. I don’t even think she did this for her son, Emmanuel. Oh Emmanuel. It was so good to see him. I’d convinced myself I was going to die, and I wouldn’t see him again. He’d be alone and I would have made him sad. “Are you sure you can’t have any more?” Mrs Stark, aka Mrs McDevil, asked me when I gently pushed away the tub of yoghurt she brought for me. Amongst a whole lot of other things I couldn’t possibly eat in my state. “Doctor said

    The boardroom is dead silent, as everyone looks at me expectantly. I looked at each of the faces, silently brooding and wanting to get this over and done with. Neither of them say anything, but I can already detect uneasiness in their eyes. William, on the other hand, is still a prideful bastard, sizing me up with a look that stinks of entitlement. I presume he has no clue that he’s been caught. Kevin, on the other hand, looks like a mouse trapped in the corner with no way out. A mouse about to shit on my floor, if he doesn’t stop with the constipated look on his face. He knows. Good. Indra sits quietly next to me, looking between me and the Roman family. It isn’t long before my phone beeps, letting me know the people I was expecting were here. “Sir, should I-“ “It’s fine. They’ll find their way here,” I said. Indra sits back down. True to my words, the door swung open to reveal my legal advisor, Augustus Stone, followed two policemen. Ther

    FOUR DAYS LATER It was just as the two Mafia doctors told us. No hip fracture, no broken ribs, just a lot of bruising and blood loss. Miles had suffered greatly and he’s still breathing. The only thing that keeps me from going crazy is watching his chest rise and fall, letting me know that he’s still fighting. And he’ll come back to us when he’s ready. I just need to be strong. That’s all. Be strong and stick by his side. Sticking by his side was proving to be harder than I thought. The amount of visitors he is getting is astounding. I didn’t realise he knew this many people. I didn’t realised that Miles was loved by many. And those that didn’t love him, he’d somehow touched their lives in a certain way. Genevieve had made her way to the hospital as soon as I gave her the address. Miles’ uncle, Desmond was also here. Apparently, he was working abroad, but he flew all the way to be by Miles’ side. They’d brought one of their daughters with

    The house is in pretty good shape, I have to admit. Seeing it from the outside, it looked like it might collapse. And with a house full right now, I was afraid that might actually happen. It’s designed to looked like a cottage house and it only has two bedrooms. “Would you like some water, sir?” I looked down at the little girl, Faith, holding a glass of water for me. “Thank you,” I smiled at her, taking the surprisingly clean glass. I basically chugged the whole thing. It might have been the nerves. It’s been hours and it’s getting dark outside, but we’ve had no news from either Aaron or the doctors. Wesley had gone in there as well. “Man, this is killing me,” Hae-Jin groaned, stretching himself as he stood up, walking about. “What’s taking them so long?” he eyed the door. “Uncle Aaron said not to let anybody in there. It’ll distract the doctors,” Faith spoke up, offering the next glass to Indra, who thanked her softly. “Yeah, b

    Serenity. Defined as a disposition free from stress or emotion/ The absence of mental stress or anxiety. Or to put it in one simple word… Peacefulness. The one thing I’ve been searching for my whole life. This serene feeling of…floating in the clouds, shoulders free of any burden or pain. It’s just me and the quietness. It’s addictive. The more I dwell in it, the more I want to stay there. If humanity knew what this felt like, it’d be like a discovered drug. Good for your mental health, but toxic when abused. When you’ve lived your whole life in chaos and you suddenly get a taste of this, you can’t help but want more of it. Is this what death feels like? Or am I just…hallucinating? What’s the worst between the two? Knowing you’re dead and you might never be able to see your loved ones. Or…hallucinating this quietude and knowing it’ll be ripped from you any second and you’ll be plunged back into the chaos.

    “Just make sure it’s a secluded area and…the staff needs to be gone by the time we come. I’ll handle the rest,” I spoke up. “Yes sir, we will do as you say,” the manager spoke on the phone. “And don’t put red roses. They need to be white roses, alright?” “Yes sir,” “I’ll see you tonight,” I said before hanging up, not giving him a chance to say goodbye. This date needs to be perfect. It’s my first date with Miles and I need it to be perfect. I don’t want anything less for my sweet boy. It’s only a few hours before he comes home. He’d mentioned by six in the evening, he’d be home. It’s only two in the afternoon, so I have time. Fuck, I feel so giddy. I probably am shitting rainbows right now. I can’t even keep still. I tried to get some work done. Instead, my eyes are constantly glued to the phone, waiting for my love to call. I want to call him so bad, but I know he’s driving. I don’t want to distract him.

    “Be careful, Miles,” Indra stood by the door, watching me pack my bags. I gave her a look for the thousandth time since my announcement to visit our old home, where I hoped to find Grandpa’s grave. “I’m not going alone, Indra,” I said rolling my eyes as I thought about the two bodyguards Emmanuel had hired for me. I hate being followed around. Makes me feel helpless. I’m anything but helpless. I know how to defend myself and besides, father isn’t coming anywhere near me… …not if he knows what’s good for him. “I’m serious,” I feel her hand on my shoulder. I turned to her and frowned, seeing her eyes glossing over. “I-“ she looked back at the door. “I have a bad feeling about this. Maybe you shouldn’t-“ “Indra,” I held her by the shoulder, watching her fight off the tears threatening to spill. She’s been rather emotional lately. Could be the pregnancy. Could be her. I know she worries about me.

    I’d debated with myself for about a good thirty minutes or so before actually willing myself to get out of bed and go make the call. Miles was right in every way possible. I was angry. Felt even betrayed, but… …she’s still my mother. I owe her a chance. At everything. Maybe I’m overreacting. Maybe I’m being a dick. Maybe I’m being too hard on her. I don’t know the whole story anyway. I just can’t help but want to kill that bastard William, for betraying his own best friend. The one person that made him everything that he is today. The cold night air was rather harsh on my bare skin, but I couldn’t care less about it as I stared at my phone. It’s almost the end of my birthday and I haven’t spoken to my mom. What kind of a son does that make me? To think she could be crying and all alone, wherever she is. Emery is gone and she s

    “Just give me a second, I gotta take a call,” I watched Miles wiping his hands before grabbing his ringing phone, officially leaving Indra and I in the kitchen alone. They were both washing dishes after we all had dinner. Aside from Liam’s ‘unalarming’ news, my day has been pretty amazing. When it started pouring outside, we’d decided upon a movie. Miles’ theatre room had makeshift beds, with pillows and warm blankets to keep us warm. Plus he pretty much brought snacks that everyone munched on whilst we all watched Ludo’s movie. I have to admit that this day has been weirdly unfamiliar but oddly relaxing and comforting. It isn’t something I’d normally do. Hanging out with everyone. Having lunch and watching a movie thereafter. It used to be Liam and I at his club, drinking the night away and fucking random girls. During the day, I’d be at the office. That was my celebration day. Miles has shown me
