**Cole's POV***“Hello Master Cole, the food is getting cold. Are you perhaps not hungry yet?”I slowly looked up at the maid and shut my eyes, heaving a deep sigh. “I told you I wasn't hungry, but you served the meal anyway.”“That's because you haven't eaten for days now. You've only been having drinks.”I looked up at the cook a second time. I wasn't in the best of mood and all I wanted to do presently was to yell at her to leave me the fuck alone. But then, when I laid eyes on her I couldn't afford to scream at her. It's not like it's her fault anyway. She's not the reason for my frustration and for this I can't unleash my anger. “Please, just clear the table. I'll eat when I'm hungry or at least I'll inform you about it.”“Oh okay,” she quietly cleaned up the table while I continued with what I was doing and that was drinking myself to stupor even though I know drinking without adding an enhancer, will never get me drunk. Everyone must be wondering why I'm looking so lost and
**Gael's POV**Just when I was hugging Turstin, I suddenly laid eyes on Cole. This immediately made me freeze, as I wasn't expecting to see him in the mansion. “Why do you look at me that way? Are you not happy to see me?” Cole asked. I could tell from his expression that he wasn't pleased with the fact that I didn't show that much reaction when I saw him. He can't blame me for this, can he? Everything about the present is still very new to me. I still don't know whether I should trust him or not. The fact that he had marked me was the only thing causing me to waver now. At first, I thought he marked me to keep the others away from me. But then when Thale and Alan marked me, I got confused. I asked them if it was possible to get marked by them after I had been marked by Cole, and they said it was highly possible. I want to believe that he didn't do that because he wanted to control me. But then, whenever I see him, the memories of what he did to me in the past just won't go away.
**Gael's POV**After the food was prepared, I carried the tray and headed upstairs to Cole's room. While on my way, I can't help but develop a fast beating heart. This is because I don't know what to expect when I get there. I mean, what if I meet a furious Cole. What if he does something bad to me simply because I had refused to take his calls. Getting to his room door, I decided to take a breather. I mean, I don't know what to expect from him, but then, there's no harm in trying. I placed a sharp knock on the door, but got no reply. I'm sure he would know that I was at the door. He told me himself that since he has marked me, he'll be able to sense me even if I was a mile away. I placed a second knock but still got the silent treatment. At this point, I had no choice but to barge in. There's no doubt that he was mad at me. I'll just drop the tray on the table and walk away. With that in mind, I slowly opened the door and walked in. Good thing the room wasn't that dark, and I w
**Cole's POV**“W…what are you talking about?”“What I mean is, I don't know since when my feelings changed towards you to the point that I wanted you so badly in my life. This is something that has never happened before with anyone.”"I wish I understood what that means, but I honestly don't."I wanted to tell him that everything changed after Stacey's betrayal. It was like a dream to me too. At first, I wanted revenge, but the more I searched for Gael the more I craved and longed for him. I thought it was all the feeling of wanting to find him to exert my revenge. But when I finally found him, that wasn't the case at all. I discovered that I wanted him for real. It seemed as though my feelings were unleashed. And when I finally let myself be immersed into him, that was all it took for every hate I had for Gael to wear off. I didn't see him as a faggot anymore, but I saw him as someone fragile. Someone I want to protect with everything in me. He became even more fragile than Stacey
**Gael's POV***As much as I was telling Cole no, I was burning down there, especially when he started kissing my neck. When he finally pulled off his briefs, I saw him hard, large and ready for action. This further made it impossible for me to resist him and so when he began taking off my clothes I let him even though I was trying to struggle. “Gael I know you want me. Just give yourself to me and I promise that I will treat you right. I'll make you feel good,” he said amidst peppering my shoulders and neck with soft kisses. I was literally melting under him. I only came to serve him food, but never did I imagine that I'll end up satisfying not just his food starvation but also his sexual starvation. “Just let me, I'm terribly hungry for you.”I looked him in the eye and lust was written all over. Does he want to fuck me that bad? Was that why he was starving himself? “Cole, I thought you only needed food.”“Yes, I needed food, but not the one on the tray.”“If not the one on th
**Gael's POV***The next day, I was supposed to meet with Turstin but he left the mansion to attend to an emergency in his company. Not only that, the others had all gone back to their businesses, leaving just me in the mansion. I wouldn't deny the fact that I felt useless. I wanted to do something worthwhile, but I'm not sure I'll ever have the opportunity to go back to my apartment any time soon. Well, it's not like they are depriving me of going to my apartment. I think it's just me and the fact that I missed them. Maybe I'm here in the mansion because I wanted to be with them for a little while. I sat on the patio, and drank a glass of fruit juice while staring at the clear sky. How I missed this place. It has always been my favorite spot to be. While I was basking in peaceful moment, I suddenly heard my phone vibrate in my pocket. I creased my brow, wondering who was calling me. Looking at the caller, I froze for a few seconds. Why was she suddenly calling me again? I thou
**Gael's POV***Tracy and I chatted for almost an hour. From our discussions, I came to realize that she was actually a free soul. Maybe, just maybe, if I wasn't what I was then I'm sure that I would have considered her my girlfriend because she seems to have all what it takes. “So, let's talk about why you called me. Tracy, is there anyone bothering you perhaps?”“Huh?” She muttered, looking at me as if she didn't understand what I was saying. “I mean, when you called me earlier, remember you said you needed someone to talk to. Could there have been a reason why you were in that state.”“Gael, I'll be honest with you. I don't feel like talking about it now. You've made me so happy that I had forgotten what I was going through to be honest.”“If that's the case, then you don't need to tell me what happened then. My main purpose of coming here is to cheer you up. I do not wish to see you in a bad mood, if you understand what I mean.”“Oh thank you so much, Gael. You have no idea jus
**Turstin / Gael's POV***I was mad and this was because I came early just so I could spend time with Gael. Who would have thought that he would go out to be with a woman he knows full well has a crush on him. “Turstin, I know why you're like this, but let's be honest here. You know for a fact that I won't be able to do anything with her even if there's a possibility of what you're afraid of.”“Well, I don't care. The fact that I know she's in love with you disqualifies her from being your friend. Take Fred for an example, if you tell me you're with Fred, I have no reason to stop you even though I still wouldn't want to see you with anyone. But then, it's better than seeing you with someone I know likes you.”Even though I had said I wasn't going to disclose my feelings this way, I can't stop myself. “Turstin, I know I can't argue with you about this but all I'm asking is that you give me a little time with her. An hour will do.”“What are you talking about? So, you still have the t
