Salvatore;

“Who said what? “I question, and Lucas stuffs his mouth with food, and I watch him eat in silence. My anger keeps mounting as I watch him drink from his cup, and I roll my eyes in annoyance.

“Lucas… “I call, and he looks up at me. His usual, casual look on his face,

“You might want to sit down for this. I don’t want you going all Hulk smash mode on me when I tell you. “He says, pointing at the chair in front of him, and I huff before walking over to the chair and sitting in front of him.

“Who said what to David, Lucas? “I question as he starts eating, and he looks up at me with accusing eyes. He has a bored expression on his face that says this is all my fault.

“I tried to reason with you, Salu. I tried. But never listen. Once you set your mind to something, even amnesia would make you sway from your decision. “He says, and I stare at him still waiting for the answer to my question.

“You got a very able young man and confined him to your room. I don’t even think he knows his

    Salvatore:I walk into my yard, and all my men are assembled in a massive circle. Thirty of them. I walk into the middle of the circle, and I can sense the tension in the air. GOOD. They should be scared. They know I only call them together like this when there is trouble. I currently have just 10 men patrolling the property, but I have to address this, and I will do it now! Logic can wait.“I’m sure you’re all wondering why I called you all out here tonight. “I say as I look at all their faces. “We’re here to play a game. “I announce, and I hear murmurs.“It’s been a while since we’ve had fun or had any bonding activity. I think it’s high time I fix that. I’ve been so distant, that some of you are beginning to forget what I really am. “I add, and I’m blessed with silence. Silence and fear I can feel reverberating through the air.“Tonight, we will mimic my underground matches. Two folks will fight, and will only stop when I am satisfied with the condition one of them is in. “I conti

    David;I adjust my tie in annoyance as I walk down the corridor with a tray of Salvatore’s tea in my hands. I had worn a sweater and jeans earlier, but Mrs Lana asked me to change. She told me that what I had on was not a dressing fit for Salvatore’s assistant. She said he likes things in an organized manner and if I’m to be his assistant, I have to be official and dress like one. It’s not like I’m used to this. I’ve never been an assistant before. I’m a thief and a hacker. And overnight, I got promoted from captive to assistant. I know I wanted to do something, but this… I don’t think I’m cut out for this.I knock on the door to Salvatore’s office, but I get no reply. I had gone to his room earlier, but the maid cleaning it said he was in the office. I sigh and knock again, but I’m met with silence.“Mr. Salvatore? “I call, and once again, I’m met with silence. I place my head on the wooden door and let out a breath. Is this some kind of test?“I’m coming in. “I inform him, and with

What’s wrong? “He questions, as he rushes to hold me, and I stand straight. The pain in my side suddenly becoming irrelevant.“What? Why are you looking at me like that? You bent over like you were in pain and I… “He begins, but I cut him off.“You called me Sal. “I note, and he stares at me blankly.“Isn’t that your name? “He questions, and I smile.

Fuck! “Take off your shirt, Salvatore. “He demands, this time looking up at me, and I tilt my head. He looks so worried.“I’m fine, David.

    David:We walk out of the house, and I can not help but stare at Salvatore as he strides ahead. Looking at him, one wouldn’t know he has a ghastly wound under his shirt and is wrapped like a maiden in a corset. I roll my eyes as I keep walking. Wondering how he got so injured. I would have come out last night to check, but I was scared. Scared of what I might see…“Good morning, sir. “A guard suddenly greets me as he walks past me, and I come to an abrupt stop. I quickly look behind me to see if Lucas is there, but I’m alone. I was the one he greeted. Sir?? Me?? When did that start?I had only taken a few steps forward when another guard greets me, Addressing me as sir, and my confusion grows. I pick up a pace and walk beside Sal.“Salvatore. Something is wrong… “I whisper, and he looks down at me.“What? “He questions ever so casually, and I look around at the workers buzzing about with their activities.“Your men… They’re greeting me. And… Calling me sir. “I inform, and he raises a

    Salvatore:I stared at the smug expression on Dimitri’s face, and anger began to burn under my skin. I saw the way David froze when he heard his voice, and that was not a pleasant sight. I don’t want to have to see it again. I don’t want to see David so terrified of anyone, or thing!“Wow… You seem to have laid claims to my pet. “Dimitri says as he snatches his hand away from my grip, and I grit my teeth.“You’re right. I have laid claims. And if you dare to even breathe in his direction, you’ll wish you hadn’t been pushing so hard. “I reply, and he smirks.“Wow, David. After all these years, you still maintained your grip on him. “He says, and my heart skips a beat.“Dimitri! “I warn. I don’t know how he knows this, probably did some digging, but I can’t have him expose this secret to David. Not like this.“What? He doesn’t know that you both go way back? “He questions, and I can’t help but grab his throat.“One more word. I dare you. “I growl, ignoring his men who have now held up th

    David’s POV;I got into the car after Salvatore, and as Salvatore was about to tell the driver to start, I stole a glance at him. His face is rigid and his eyes are keen on his phone’s screen. I stare at the guitar… The $500,000 guitar sitting proudly between us, and I can’t stop myself.“...Sal? ““Hmm? ““What’s your net worth? “I question, and he pauses, he finally looks up from his phone, and at me, and I battle to maintain eye contact.“I mean… How much… Do you make? No… I mean… Do you… “I start, begging my brain for words it fails to deliver, and Salvatore smiles.“Is this about the guitar? “He questions with a shining smile, and I nod slowly. I don’t want to piss him off or seem ungrateful, but he spent way too much on this guitar. Quite frankly, I’m scared to even touch it. If I break a string, I’ll feel like I’ve wasted money that could help some NGO somewhere. “Stop worrying about it. You just have to decide that you like something.

    Salvatore:“I don’t think you should be drinking this much, “I say to David, but he raises a hand to stop me as he pours himself another shot.“I do. I want to tell you something, and I need the courage to do it. “He replies, and I raise a brow at him. What could he possibly want to tell me? And why does he need to be drunk to say it? I should stop him, but if he says this is how he wants to tell me whatever it is he has to tell me… then I should let him do what he feels is best.I sigh as I also take a shot. Waiting for him to get comfortable enough to talk. The bar lit with gold and orange lights is alive around us, and people are chatting, dancing, playing drinking games and betting all around us, but the only thing that has my interest is David.I cradle my chin as I watch him. His ears are red from drinking, and so is his flushed face. Every time he tilts his head to take a shot, his eyes twinkle under the light. His fair skin looks milky and flawless, and I take a deep breath as

    David:“Mmm… “The purr escapes my lips, as I adjust. I slowly open my eyes as I try to make sense of where I am, but the first thing I see when I open my eyes, is Salvatore… He is fast asleep beside me, and is lying on his back. I, on the other hand, am snug beside him with his outstretched right arm as my pillow.A smile splits my face as I stare at his peaceful side profile. He looks angelic this way. A beautiful work of art in his slumber. Art that can transform into explosives anytime once those eyes open. I wince a bit as memories from a few hours ago begin to flood my mind. ‘If they’re not there to console you when you are at your lowest, what gives them the right to determine what makes you happy? ‘The words replay in my mind, and as memories of everything we spoke about, crash down on me, I look back up at him. I’ve heard words of advice very similar to this before. It was Desmond who told me that years ago. I wanted to try out for the school baseball team, but I was scared

    Lucas;He adjusts on the bed and bites into one of his cookies. “I’ve known for a while now.” He says casually as he chews, and suddenly, his eyes light up.“Wow! This tastes amazing!” He exclaims, and I blink at him. How the hell did he figure it out? Should I lie? Does Sal know he knows this? Does he know Sal was…“I also know Sal was Desmond.” He adds as he keeps eating, and I reach for the wall for support.I don’t know if to deny this.“Sal knows I know. I don’t think it would be fair to keep you in the dark.” He adds, and finally, he looks up at me again. He looks unbothered, and me. I don’t know how to feel about this, so I blurt out the first thing that makes it past the chaos in my head.“How did you figure that out?” “What do they say about a magician and his tricks?“ He replies, and I scoff before moving back to the bed. He doesn’t seem upset or worried by it.“I underestimated you,” I note, and he laughs.“A lot of people do.” He replies, and I stare at him in disbeli

    Lucas;“What if Sal hasn’t let himself love anyone else since Dimitri, cause… somewhere in his heart, he still… loves him?” I chomp on the chocolate cookies Mrs. Lana made me as I reminisce on David’s words.Sal can’t possibly have feelings for Dimitri. It’s impossible. Right?I’d know… For me, not even being able to tell that they once dated, it should mean he doesn’t love Dimitri anymore. Right??I groan as I walk over to my ceiling-to-floor window and stare at the ocean. This man will be the death of me. I watch as the water ripples gently with the moon reflecting gracefully on it, as I listen to the waves gently clap in the distance. I shut my eyes. David’s sad face comes to my mind, and I peel my eyes back open. I understand how he feels. But it’s pointless for him to feel that way.I don’t understand the Sal and Dimitri drama, but I know Sal is in love with David. That’s not up for debate. The only person who isn’t loved here… Is me.There’s suddenly a knock on my door, and I

How did you… Where did you hear something like that?” He questions. Absolutely dumbfounded, and I scoff in disbelief.I can’t believe Sal didn’t even tell him.“WOW!” I exclaim before looking away in disbelief.“Wait. You can’t be serious. That’s not possible. I would know. He’s never mentioned anything like that.” Lucas exclaims, still in shock, and I turn to him.“It is true. When they were teenagers. Dimitri told me… And he showed me pictures.” I replied, and Lucas stared at me in silence. His dark green eyes blinking in disbelief.“You’re sure they were photoshopped or… or edited pictures?” He asks, refusing to believe it, and I shake my head in disagreement.“I would know an edited picture when I see one. It wasn’t fake, Lucas. I asked Sal about it, and he begged me not to talk about it.” I reply, and silence falls upon us. “How could he hide so

    *Song For This Chapter: I Can’t Make You Love Me(Cover) By Bon Iver*Lucas;I stroll through Sal’s mansion with my cup of milk in my hand. I wanted booze, but Mrs Lana refused to give me any till my wounds healed properly. I kiss my teeth as my mind fails to make the milk taste or seem like alcohol.“So much for the power of imagination…” I whisper to myself as I keep walking, and looking about the dimly lit house. Dark as Sal likes it. This was his childhood home. He always avoided this place, but he came here to keep David Safe. He loves him that much… It is pitiable to see that the fool still hasn’t realised how much he loves the boy. I’m about to walk past a corridor when I hear someone humming in the distance. I look down at my watch, and it’s 11:30 pm. What normal person isn’t asleep by this time? Oh… Right. I’m awake too.I follow the voice, and I stop when I see David. He has his back turned to me and is staring over the sea behind the estate. He’s in long, navy blue woolle

    David;I let out a long yawn as I open my eyes, and I’m confused when my gaze lands on a black ceiling. Where the fuck…? What is this place?? Wasn’t I with Sal??I sit up in a panic, and relief washes over me when I find that I’m still in the car. I look back down at the seat in confusion, and I find that the chair has been reclined. Salvatore must have done that.I realise that I’m alone in the car with its windows down, and the car is parked directly in front of a hospital. A hospital??Why are we here??Aren’t we going to pick up Lucas? Salvatore soon walks through the hospital doors, but my brows crease at the person beside him. The person Sal is helping to walk. It’s Lucas. What happened to him? I try to open the door, but realise that Sal locked me in, and I frown.Why did he do that? They soon get to the car, and I scowl at Sal as he reaches for the car key in his pocket. He presses a button, and all the doors open. Causing me to roll my eyes. “Why did you lock me in?” I

    David;I thank Salvatore as I take the bag from him and pull out one of the gummy packs, when a thought hits me.“Want one?” I question, and he nods awkwardly.“S-Sure…” He replies, and I reach into the bag to give him one. He got me so many…“Thank you.” He replies, and I force a smile at him before looking down at the pack in my hands. I tear it open and am about to put my earpiece back into my ear, but he suddenly speaks.“D-did you like breakfast?” He questions, and I look up at him with a raised brow. Why did that sound weird… and rushed? Like he was desperately trying to start a conversation? Well, I have been silent for half an hour. It’s only fair I say something.“Hmm,” I reply, and I see hurt in his eyes. I let out a breath as he looks away, and kicks the car back to life. I watch his gloomy face as he pulls out of the gas station, and I begin to feel guilty. He was expecting more… but I’m not in the mood to talk.“It tasted different, though,” I add, and I see his eyes lig

It’s time for breakfast.” He says as he tries to pull off the duvet, but I don’t let him.“I’m not hungry…” I slur, but he doesn’t relent.“Yes, you are. You didn’t eat last night.” He says, but I don’t respond.“You don’t have to get out of bed. I brought it up here for you.” He adds, and this partially removes sleep from my eyes.What does he mean he brought it up here for me?I slowly raise the duvet and peek out at him from under it. In his hands is a tray of covered plates, and the aroma hits my nose. My stomach rumbles, and I immediately sit up as I rub my eyes.“Good morning, sleepy head.” He greets me as I yawn and stretch, and I just stare at him as my thoughts start falling into place. I need a few seconds to do that every morning.“Good morning.” I greet him, and he smiles. He

To choose to love me…” I croak as I wipe a line of tears from my eyes, and Mrs Lana sighs as she closes the bottle of honey and stands up.“Do you know why I decided to work as a cook for Salvatore’s family?” She questions as she returns the honey to the fridge, and I raise a brow.“Why?” I question, wondering how any of this is related to what I just told her.“Cause I wanted peace. I wanted to be able to cook, and sleep, drink tea, and watch television for as long as I wanted,” she says as she closes the fridge. And I raise a brow.“And… You don’t do that?”“I do it. But every now and then, I can’t enjoy the simplicity of my life, cause you two boys want to kill me with stress. “She says as she folds her hands over her chest and gives me a look.“One of you’s a coward, the other’s blind— and I’m just a

He wants me to stay… He needs me to stay… But he doesn’t love me. And that kills me. I couldn’t bear to see him broken like that… crying like that. I said I’d stay but I don’t know if I have the strength to. To leave, or to stay… I don’t know if I have that strength. Why won’t he just love me?Does he think I don’t love him? Am I not good enough? Will people laugh at or disrespect him if they find out that we’re together? Maybe I’m unworthy of his love…“I told you from the start, didn’t I?” Her voice flows into my ears, and I freeze.
