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:As I paced back and forth outside the ICU room, I couldn't help but notice the red stains on my shirt. But in that moment of panic, I didn't care about them.All I could think about was River, who was fighting for her life in that room. I prayed to God that she would be okay.As I collapsed onto a nearby bench, my hands trembled with fear and guilt.The images from the accident were still fresh in my mind, the look of terror on River's face as the bullet hit her, and how she fell into my arms.I knew that the bullet was meant for me, but it hit River instead. It was all my fault that she was lying in that hospital bed, and I couldn't help but blame myself.As I sat there, tears streaming down my face, a voice suddenly broke through my sorrow."JEREMY!!!" The voice shouted, and I looked up through my blu
Steve pov:My heart raced as I stared at Jeremy standing stubbornly in the middle of the road. What was he thinking?! The truck was barreling down the road, honking loudly, but he just stood there like a statue. I didn't think twice before sprinting toward him, my mind focused on just one thing, saving him.With every step I took, the sound of the truck's engine grew louder, making my heart beat faster. And then, with a burst of energy, I pushed him off the road just in time as we both tumbled to the ground. My ears were ringing with the sound of the truck's blaring horn as it rushed by us.As I caught my breath, a wave of anger washed over me. If I had been a second too late, Jeremy would have been hit by that truck. I couldn't believe he had put himself in such danger.As we both rose to our feet, I hastily pulled Jeremy towards the hospital parking lot. Standing in front of him, I could see his eyes were red and puffy from all the crying. I felt a mix of anger and sadness at t
Jeremy pov:My heart was shattered into a million pieces as Steve left without uttering another word. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the words I said. Steve, my love, I didn't mean to hurt you. I haven't moved on from you; I still love you with every fiber of my being.But fate seems to have other plans for us, and it's tearing me apart. If only I could muster the courage to tell you how I feel, but it seems like the universe is conspiring against us.As I wiped my tears away, I was reminded of the cause of my pain and drama; Oliver, my supposed best friend. I wish I could slap him and tell him how much I hate what he's doing. He's not the sweet and innocent Oliver I used to know; he's become a monster, devoid of any empathy or heart. He's causing me so much pain, and I can't take it anymore.I fear that Steve might move on from me while all this drama unfolds, and that thought terrifies me. I can't lose him; he means everything to me.When will
Jeremy pov:As I slowly opened my eyes, I felt my head throbbing with pain. The loud sounds of laughter from people around me seemed to echo in my ears. I tried to make sense of my surroundings, but my vision was still blurry. Suddenly, a sharp sting at the back of my head reminded me of the hard hit that landed me in this predicament.To my horror, I realized that I was surrounded by a group of strangers, and I had no idea how I got there or why. Panic started to set in as one of them spoke up, "This guy is so innocent. I wish I could fuck him."My heart raced as another person responded, "No, we can't. The boss gave us strict orders. This one is special for the boss, it seems."Suddenly, I felt a hand groping my ass. I clenched my teeth to stop myself from making any noise as I tried to figure out what was happening. Were they selling me? Who were these people? I didn't dare open my eyes, afraid of what they might do next.I felt my body being lifted up by someone with strong ar
Steve pov: I bolted towards my bike, my heart racing against my chest as I drove as fast as I could. I was petrified that something terrible might happen to Jeremy. I was kicking myself for not seeing through Oliver's plan. I should have noticed the change in Jeremy's behavior. Looking back, it was evident that he loved me all along; the pain in his eyes when he denied it was a dead giveaway. I was foolish to think that he would fall for someone he had just met. I'm sorry, Jeremy. If anything happens to you, Oliver will face my wrath! As soon as I reached Matthew's house, I didn't even bother turning off the engine. I ran inside, frantically searching for him. But he was nowhere to be found. I dashed into the bar and found him surrounded by a bevy of gorgeous girls. I jogged towards him, glaring at them until they backed off, leaving us alone. "Steve! What's going on?" Said Matthew, as I came running towards him, panting heavily. "It's Jeremy, he's in trouble," I blurted out, co
Jeremy pov: As I slowly opened my eyes, I couldn't believe what I saw. The room was pitch black, and I couldn't remember how I got there. Did I pass out on the jet? And if so, for how long? It could have been a day or a week, but I had no way of telling. The only thing I knew was that I was in trouble. My heart was pounding as I scanned the room, trying to make sense of my surroundings. There were no windows, no doors that I could see. And then it hit me, had they already sold me? And what about the other boys? Had they been sold too? As I looked down at my body, I realized that I was no longer naked. Instead, I was dressed in a dress that someone else had put on me. And there was a bandage wrapped tightly around my head, reminding me of the beating I had taken. But despite the pain and confusion, the worst part was the silence. It was so quiet that I could hear my own breathing and the sound of my dry mouth. My throat felt like sandpaper as I croaked out, "Is anyone there?" I
Steve pov:As I slowly opened my eyes, I realized that we were in the same car that we had driven to get here. I sat up and looked around to see Maggie and Matthew smoking outside with a look of frustration etched on their faces. My chest felt fine, surprisingly, and when I checked, there was no sign of a wound. I stepped out of the car and walked towards Maggie and Matthew. Maggie rolled her eyes when she saw me approaching and took another drag from her cigarette. "What's the matter, Maggie?" I asked her, concerned. "You're the matter, Steve," she snapped, pointing at my chest, "I thought you got shot and I was freaked out." Matthew just stood there, silently watching us, and chuckled."Wait, what? How did I not get shot?!" I exclaimed in confusion."Relax, buddy. You were wearing a bulletproof vest. Remember when we got out of the jet? I gave it to you, but you were so mad that you didn't even listen to me. Luckily, the vest saved your life," Matthew explained calmly."Oh, rig
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
