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:***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: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
He punched me in the side and I lost my balance and tumbled to the ground, landing on my back with a painful thud. The sharp ache shot through my body and I couldn't help but let out a groan of discomfort.As I sat there, the group of boys surrounded me, jeering and laughing. Suddenly, one of them kicked me hard in the shin. I winced in pain, certain it was going to leave a nasty bruise. But that was just the beginning. Another boy kicked me in the arm and shoulders, while the others attacked my back. I felt the blows raining down on me, helpless and outnumbered.It was horrible but I've gotten used to the pain. I've been attacked several times over the last week and lately it's been getting worse. Sometimes, I would just pass out from exhaustion or faint, and honestly, I don't mind it. At least when I'm unconscious, I don't have to worry about what's happening to me. But I know I can't keep living like this, and I need to find a way to feel better.The boys kept on kicking with all t
Jeremy pov: The shrill sound of my alarm woke me up at 5 am. I may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm definitely a morning person. As I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and grabbed my phone, I checked my I*******m feed. Right at the top of my feed was Steve's story. Curiosity piqued, I clicked on it, only to see a scantily clad Nancy and a shirtless Steve lying on Steve's bed. As my eyes roamed over Steve's chiseled physique, I couldn't help but feel a tingle. Quickly snapping myself out of my reverie, I put my phone away. Steve seems to enjoy having sex with many girls, but he never seems to take any of them seriously. He's a one-night stand guy, and people like him make my blood boil. I mean, how can someone just have sex and forget about them so easily? It's not right. I used to believe that making love should be meaningful for both men and women, but it seems like people nowadays only focus on their own pleasure. It's a cringeworthy thought, really. For me, I'm proud to say
Steve pov:I sauntered down the hallway, a smirk playing on my lips. I had him right where I wanted him. Jeremy thought he could mess with the king Steve, but he was wrong. Dead wrong. I was the king, and I was about to teach him a lesson he'd never forget. Once the video was out, he'd be the laughingstock of the entire school. Even his so-called friend wouldn't be able to save him from the humiliation.I had meticulously edited the video, blurring my face and disposing of the jacket I had been wearing in the footage. I uploaded it to the school group and casually slipped my phone back into my pocket.As I sat in class, my mind wandered back to the intimate moment I shared with Jeremy. It was a twisted attempt to humiliate him, but I couldn't deny the strange feelings that bubbled inside me. I had never felt that way with any girl before. It was always a onetime thing for me, but with Jeremy, I wanted more. I craved more. "But that couldn't be right, could it? I'm attracted to boys?"
Steve pov:"One day, when you feel weak and someone hurts you, you will understand my pain." His words keep echoing in my head.I messed up big time. I did something I shouldn't have done and now I regret it deeply. Anger always gets the best of me and I acted on it without thinking. Steve was right, I was being selfish and I didn't even realize it at the time. I took down the video, but it was too late. People had already saved it and shared it in different groups. It went viral in our school and I am to blame. I feel so stupid and ashamed of myself. I know I have to make things right. I need to apologize to him and try to get everyone to delete that video, even if it means admitting that I am in it too. I messed up big time and I am going to make it up to him, no matter what it takes....I headed downstairs after my mother called me urgently. I could sense the worry on her face as soon as I reached her. "What's wrong, mom? Are you okay?" I asked, concerned."No, something terribl
Jeremy pov:Steve left the moment I confessed to him. My confession took him aback, which is not surprising. Did he expect me to pine for him while he didn't reciprocate my feelings?A nurse barged in to replace my saline bottle and gave me a friendly smile. "Your parents have been informed and they'll be here soon," she saidI simply nodded, not in the mood to converse.I felt weak, not because of any physical exertion, but because I was mentally exhausted. I slowly drifted off to sleep. ...Whispers surrounded me as I slowly opened my eyes, and there they were, my parents. My heart fluttered at the sight of them, for it had been a year and a half since we had last met. "Mom?" I whispered, my voice hoarse."My son, how are you feeling? Are you in pain?" She hugged me tightly."I'm fine, Mom. It was a major accident." I replied.But then, my father spoke up, "How can you be so careless? What if this news gets out? Have you no thought of our reputation?" His tone was laced with irri
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."

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
