Steve pov:
*One week later*
I walked briskly towards the medical shop, my heart racing with anxiety. The doctor had prescribed some medicine for my mother, and I couldn't afford to waste any time.
As soon as I got the medicine, I ran towards my mother's room, my breath coming in short gasps. My father was there, sitting beside her, looking worried.
He made my mother sit up and carefully put the tablet inside her mouth, making her drink some water to help with the swallowing.
I collapsed on a chair by the side, feeling exhausted. It had been one whole week since I had slept properly, and the fatigue was catching up with me.
I couldn't leave my mother alone, not even for a minute. It was my fault she was in this situation. I was determined to keep her safe, no matter what.
Maggie had been coming in every day to
Steve pov:As I stared at the screen, frustration and anger boiled inside me."Yeah that's his phone number," I muttered under my breath.But as I turned to the hacker for help, his words left me feeling even more hopeless."It's switched off sir and it is protected with the highest security. We can't hack it, sir," he said with a defeated tone.I couldn't take it anymore. I got up, punched into the seat, and stormed out of the room.As I walked into the living room, I saw Matthew sitting there, talking to someone on the phone. He quickly hung up and motioned for me to sit down next to him."What's going on, Steve? You look like you've seen a ghost," he asked me with concern in his voice."How should I feel, Matthew? We've been searching for two days and still can't locate Oliver. It's driving me cra
Jeremy pov:"No, babe. They want us to go on a date, but who needs to wait until the night? Let's kick off our date with some fun between the sheets and then grab dinner." She suggested, teasing me by pressing her booty against my dick.I winced in discomfort, shoving her away and shooting her an angry look."I only came to this date because my parents insisted on it. Please don't try to overstep any boundaries," I said firmly."But we can still have a good time without any pressure or expectations," she replied, her tone flirtatious.I took a deep breath before speaking my truth."I'm sorry, but I'm gay and not interested in you that way," I explained, bracing myself for her reaction.She looked taken aback but quickly composed herself.“What? Do you feel disgusted by me?” I asked her.
Steve pov:As I tuned into the news, my heart sank at the sight of Jeremy holding hands with an actress.I couldn't believe my eyes. He was smiling at her like he used to smile at me, and I felt a wave of anger and sadness wash over me. How could he do this to me?I threw my phone to the ground in frustration, watching it shatter into pieces, just like my heart.I tried to hold back tears, but they streamed down my face, blurring my vision.Was Jeremy ever in love with me? Or was I just a fool to think he cared about me?As I walked past Matthew, who was scribbling something in his notebook, I felt a sense of comfort in his presence.Dad and I had been staying at his place since the incident, and Matthew had taken extra measures to ensure Mom's safety. But even with his security measures in place, we couldn't let o
Oliver pov:As I saw Steve telling Jeremy to move on, I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. The drama unfolding in front of me was just too good to be true.Watching them argue and misunderstand each other because of me was almost exhilarating.In my mind, Jeremy belonged to me and me alone. I felt that it was Steve's fault that their relationship was strained because he had been hiding it from me.I had no idea that they were even staying together. I couldn't let them continue to be together and fuck all night.I was determined to make Jeremy mine, and I would have his sweet asshole all to myself.I was confused about how Steve and Jeremy had reconciled, but I knew that Steve had done something to make it happen.Jeremy was so angry with him that he couldn't even bear to look at Steve's face. I was curious to kno
Jeremy pov:We were in the car, with the car windows rolled down to feel the breeze. I sat beside River, lost in thought about what Steve had said earlier.I couldn't understand why he would say that. I love him, but I didn't want to say it in response to a baseless suspicion. I wanted to wait for a special moment.Suddenly, River's voice broke my reverie."Jeremy, are you okay?" she asked, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.I took a deep breath and looked at her."I'm considering your offer, River," I whispered.Her eyebrows shot up in surprise."What offer?" she asked.I wiped my tears and met her gaze. As realization dawned on her, I spoke again."Let's be fuck buddies...Only for pleasure, no feelings. I want to be carefree," I said, try
Jeremy pov:"I'm sorry, River," I said, my voice laced with concern."You don't seem to be in the right state of mind. It's not a good idea to do this. You'll only regret it in the morning. Why don't you just go to sleep?"Her voice was shaky as she replied, "Jeremy, I really need it. I need to forget all this. Please, can you help me?"Her eyes were filled with desperation, and I knew that she was going through a lot but this wasn't right."I don't think it's a good idea, River," I said, trying to reason with her. "If you do it, you'll only end up feeling worse."She opened her mouth to protest, but I silenced her with a stern look."Listen, River," I continued. "I know I acted impulsively earlier and tried to have sex with you, but after hearing your story, I regretted it. Let's not do anything we'll regret in the morning."
Jeremy pov:As I looked into Sebastian's eyes, I felt a shiver run down my spine. His touch on my cheek made me recoil in disgust, but he seemed unfazed by my reaction.My hands were tightly bound in handcuffs, and my attempts to free myself only made the restraints feel tighter."Let me go!" I shouted, desperation creeping into my voice."I will," Sebastian replied calmly, "but first, I need to give you a warning."My mind raced as I tried to figure out what he could possibly want from me. I knew he was a dangerous person, but I never imagined he would come after me."There are people who worry about you," he continued, his hand now caressing my hair. "You're lucky to have such caring friends."I knew he was talking about Oliver. But Sebastian's words held a sinister tone that made me doubt his intentions."Don
Jeremy pov:I held her hand tightly and looked into her eyes, desperation evident in my voice."Please, river. Help me," I begged her."But Jeremy, you will regret it. You don't want this," she cautioned me, concern etched on her face."I'm so sure, river. I want it," I insisted, my heart pounding in my chest.She smiled softly at me and pulled me into a hug, patting my back as I struggled to hold back tears.I needed a distraction, anything to forget the pain that consumed me. I couldn't continue like this; my heart felt like it would burst at any moment."I can't do it, Jeremy. I learned my lesson because of you," she said firmly, her voice filled with conviction.My face fell for a moment, but I smiled at her nonetheless.She had learned what was right for her and was being lo
Jeremy pov:I pushed him away, feeling disgusted by being near him. His face fell, but in an instant, he put on a smile.“How are you, jer?’’ he asked me.“I'm so good. and it's Jeremy for you." I replied coldly.“So you are still angry at me…” he said, hanging his head low.As he settled into a chair, his hands secured to the table with handcuffs, I took a seat opposite him, our eyes locking in a tense, charged silence."Talk to me, Jeremy. Please," he begged, his eyes pleading with mine.I slammed my hands on the table, causing Oliver to jump back in surprise."Why should I speak with you? I'll be angry with you until my last breath. What you did... It's not a game, Oliver. You hurt us, hurt everyone who loves you. And yet, we still feel sorry for leaving you alone here. That's our weakness. When I came here, I was scared, because seeing you reminds me of all the horrible things you did to me and your mother..." A tear rolled down my cheek as I spoke.Oliver's sorrowful expression d
Jeremy pov:***Three Year Later***"JEREMY!! WAKE UP!!" The shout jolted me awake, and I rubbed my eyes, groaning in pain as I got up from the ground."Why did you sleep on the ground?" Steve asked, concern in his voice."I fell down, you can call me slowly, no need to shout," I retorted, still feeling groggy."Sorry," Steve apologized, coming close and wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me towards him."I made breakfast for you," he said softly."Thanks," I smiled, giving him a quick peck on the lips."Freshen up and come down. Mom, Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard are waiting too," he informed me."Ok, sir," I teased and went to grab my clothes."I'm going!" he shouted before leaving my room.I stepped into the shower and cranked the faucet, feeling the cold water rush over my skin.Life is finally good and peaceful. We're all still recovering from the past traumas, especially Mrs. Hamilton and me. We've started seeing a therapist, and it's been helping a lot.Steve has been my roc
Jeremy pov:As I watched in terror, my heart skipped a beat as Steve crumpled to the ground, blood staining the spot where he had been shot. I rushed over to his side, desperately trying to rouse him."Steve, please wake up! Don't you dare leave me!" I cried out, clinging to his limp form.His eyes remained shut, his complexion turning pale. Oliver stood there, laughing like a heartless monster. He had pulled the trigger, taking the life of my beloved, his very own brother. At that moment, I realized I could despise him no more than I did already. Today, I longed for nothing more than to end his existence.As I stared up at Oliver, his twisted grin etched deeply into my memory, I couldn't shake off the sick pleasure that gleamed in his eyes. He revelled in the pain he had caused, and in that moment, I silently vowed to myself that he wouldn't get away with it. I was determined to make him pay for the anguish he had inflicted upon everyone around him."I'll end you, Oliver," I seethed,
Jeremy pov:In the dimly lit alley, Steve's heart was pounding like a drum, he held me close, my breath warm against his neck. With every step, the sound of his footsteps echoed like a haunting melody. Shadows danced around us as we were running out of the building.My heart was beating loudly, and I was still in shock, one minute everything was ok, but the next minute everything was a mess and we were running for our lives keeping Maggie's life at stake. I felt frustrated for feeling helpless and became weak because of Oliver. I trained hard to face this situation but the trauma is making me weak.The gunshots around the building made me even more scared, Steve's grip on my arm tightened, his fingers digging into my flesh, a silent reassurance that we were in this together.“I will not let anything happen to you, Jerry,” Steve said breathing heavily.I couldn't form words as I just closed my eyes, but suddenly Steve stopped in the way. My gaze was fixed on the ground, and when Steve
Jeremy pov:As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt the warm sun rays on my face. I stretched my limbs and pushed the blanket away. Feeling a bit groggy, I made my way to the bathroom. With half-opened eyes, I turned the shower on and let the water cascade over my body. It was such a blissful feeling that I wished I could stay there forever.I picked up the shampoo and lathered my hair. The scent of lavender filled up the steamy room. I took my time to rinse my hair and let the water wash away all the stress from my body. Finally, I turned the faucet off and wrapped the towel around my hips.As I walked into the room, I caught Steve's gaze. He was sitting on the bed, his eyes tracing every curve of my body. I couldn't help but smirk at his expression. His cheeks were flushed, and he looked away, embarrassed. "Why are you here?" I asked, trying to keep my poker face on."There is an important matter to discuss, everyone is waiting for you," he replied while avoiding eye contact and stari
Oliver pov:My voice echoed through the hallway as I shouted at the group of men, "What the hell do you think you are doing?"The men quickly lowered their heads in apology, "Sorry, boss. We are sorry."I clenched my fists, struggling to contain my anger as I walked past them. I made a mental note to remember their faces. They would surely face consequences for mocking me.How could they even think that I backstabbed Sebastian and took his kingdom? I had worked tirelessly to earn my place as the rightful ruler, and I wasn't going to let anyone question my authority.As I made my way towards my office room, my heart was pounding with anticipation. I couldn't wait to check on my beloved Jeremy and see how he was doing.I sat down on my chair, took a deep breath, and opened my laptop. But what I saw on the screen left me reeling.Jeremy was at the gym, and Steve had kissed him without his consent. My heart sank as I read the details of what had happened. Jeremy had been caught off guard,
Jeremy pov:The struggle is real. Whenever his skin brushes against mine, it sets off an inferno inside me that I cannot seem to quell. Despite knowing that I should resist his advances, his kisses are so irresistible, making it impossible for me to keep my guard up.Whenever he moves closer, my heart starts to race, and my resolve crumbles with each passing moment. It's as if he has some kind of mysterious power over me that I cannot resist.“Steve…” I try to protest, to tell him to stop, but my voice fails me every time. His lips on my neck make me lose myself, and I find myself entangled in his hair, surrendering to his touch. It's a constant battle between my head and my heart, and at this moment, my heart is winning the war.As I uttered his name, "Steve...", the air around us seemed to crackle with electrifying energy. Standing before me, Steve was the epitome of temptation, his every touch, every caress of his lips on my skin, held me captive in a way that was both thrilling
Jeremy pov:The next few days felt like an endless cycle of sadness and confusion. Every moment seemed to weigh me down with the heaviness of what had happened. The images of betrayal kept playing over and over in my mind, like a broken record that refused to stop. My heart felt like it had been shattered into a million pieces, and I didn't know if I could ever put it back together again.Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on my door. I got up to answer it and found Luca and Maggie standing outside, looking concerned. I tried to put on a brave face and gave them a fake smile, but I knew they could see through it."Yeah, what do you want, guys?" I asked, not really sure who was on the other side."We want to talk to you about Steve," Luca said, his voice sounding tense."I don't know who he is," I replied, feeling a little irritated."Don't talk like that, jer. Please listen to what he has to say. There's been a misunderstanding," Maggie interjected, trying to calm the
Jeremy pov:"Hey, what video are you talking about, Maggie?" I asked, curious about what she wanted to show me."Come here," she said, motioning me to sit beside her on the sofa.As she connected her phone to the TV, I watched the blank screen, wondering what could be so important. But then, Oliver's face appeared, and my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't believe my eyes, Oliver was supposed to be dead!Despite what Steve and everyone else had told me, I was now seeing him right in front of me, alive and well. It was a moment of pure shock and disbelief, one that I'll never forget.As soon as Oliver's voice echoed through the speakers, my heart skipped a beat. I could feel my skin crawl as his words sank in."I've missed you so much, Jer. I wish I could hold you right now," he said, his tone filled with longing.My mind raced with fear as I heard his words. My hands trembled uncontrollably until Maggie took hold of my hand, calming me down."Jer, I've missed our daily talks. I wish we
