It was the next day and true to his word, my father was nowhere to be found. I quickly went back to my room after breakfast after feeling the hostile environment of the people at the table. Milan followed behind me and went inside the room with me. As I was sitting on the bed, Milan handed me an old phone. It was one of those Nokias that would break the floor if you drop them."What's this for?" I asked Milan."Arturo," he simply said.I looked back on the screen and found Arturo's name in an ongoing call. I quickly brought the phone up to my ear. My heart is beating rapidly in my chest. It felt like it would break at any minute."Hey, Avery," Arturo's voice said through the call.Tears started to flow uncontrollably out of my eyes. "Arturo," I cried out."Hey, baby," he chuckled. Arturo tried calming me through the phone as I cried. I can't believe that I'm hearing his voice right now. After two months, I finally get to talk to him again."I'm so happy to hear your voice again, Ave
Avery's POV"You've met Alexis, right?" Milan asked as soon as we got back to my room."Yes, I think? She's Lorenzo's right hand, yes?" I asked, unsure if I was referring to the right person."Yes, that's her. We can work with her to get you out," Milan said."What? How?" I asked."She hates your father more than anyone else, and your father is not a very good person. You already saw his facade slipping last time and that would only get worse," Milan said. "So what do we do?" I asked."We could ask her to kill you and then she'll kill your father for real and then you get back to Arturo," he said."Kill me?! What do you mean?" I asked in a panic."No, not kill you, kill you. She's just going to fake kill you and then when Lorenzo comes back, she'll kill him. After that, she'll take over and cover your identity and you can live happily ever after with Arturo," Milan said with a weirdly creepy smile on his face."Okay? Are you sure that she'll accept it or even agree with this?" I aske
My mouth formed an 'o' shape as I stare at Milan. He looked nervous upon spilling that information."Are you mad?" he asked."No. Why would I be mad?" I asked."I just thought that you might be upset that I used to date the guy you're dating?" he said, but it was more of a question."I'm not upset. I mean, I don't see the reason to be upset. I know nothing about the relationship between the two of you and I don't think it's right for me to be upset at you for something that happened in the past," I shrugged."You're a smart kid. Smarter than Arturo," he said as he patted my head. "Thanks," I mumbled in response.The door suddenly barged open and Alexis came inside."He's coming back," she said as she approached me."Wait, what? I thought he was going to be gone for a few more days," Milan said, panic evident on his face."Yep, I thought so too. So now we don't have time to refine the plan, we're just going to have to do it," she said before pulling out a gun and hitting the back of m
Arturo's POVUpon hearing about the death of Lorenzo, I thought Avery was going to come home right after, but Alexis kept him locked in his room. I tried talking to Milan about why this happened and he kept saying that he doesn't know. I knew better than to trust him, but I was desperate. She said she will let him go once we give her what she wants.Today's the day of her ascension ceremony, right after the day of Lorenzo's funeral. I got to talk to Avery on the phone yesterday, concerned that he might be devastated by his father's death. I was shocked to hear when he said he really didn't feel anything about his father's death. I could only guess that he didn't form a deep attachment with his father in that short amount of time, but I'm still surprised that he's handling this well.We reached the estate and it was clear that Alexis was trying to rebrand and reform their clan. The Esteves and The Biacnhis are here. Just like us, there were rivals with Lorenzo's clan. Marco Esteves app
Avery's POVWe finally got back home and Tiago immediately suggested a makeover. Given that quite a few people already saw me backat Lorenzo's estate, he reasoned out that it's best that I change my appearance until people forget about me so now I'm sitting on a chair in front of a mirror getting my hair bleached. Even my brows weren't safe. I asked Tiago how will I explain the lashes and he just told me that we could just tell people that I got it tinted.My nose scrunched at the smell of bleach on my head. I honestly think that Tiago wanted to bleach Leo's hair, but he constantly refused so I was the next target. He really didn't give me a chance to say no. He didn't even tell Arturo so when he saw what Tiago was doing, he got an earful. I didn't mind though, and as soon as Arturo realized that I wasn't really bother by it. He gave up. Tiago washed off the bleac and toned my hair and I'm surprised that it turned into platinum blonde without frying all my hair off. I guess Tiago was
Ever since I got back here, I've already claimed Arturo's room as my own. Arturo wasn't complaining so I started slowly moving my thighs into his room one by one. Leo even caught me carrying a bunch of my clothes into Arturo's room. He raised a brow at me but didn't question it. Luckily, his closet had enough room for both of our clothes."I don't know why you even bother putting your clothes in there when you keep using mine," Arturo said as he wrapped his arms around my waist."You can use it?" I asked, knowing full well that he was two sizes bigger than me. "If I wanted a crop top, maybe I would," he chuckled."Some of my clothes don't fit me anymore. That's why I've been wearing yours," I said as I turn around his arms so I could face him."Want to go shopping?" he asked."I'll feel bad if you're paying for me again," I replied."No need to feel bad. I'd gladly spend millions on you if I have to," he said."That's not very smart," I said, making him laugh. "I really want a job,
I sat still on the bed, my face looking like I'd dipped it on a platter of red blush. "You want my help?" Arturo asked and I quickly shook my head.I hesitantly took off my shirt and neatly folded it before placing it beside me. I was wasting as much time as I can. I was excited yet nervous. I didn't know that kind of thing can make me feel in such a way that I would want more. I took a deep breath before standing up and pulling down my pants along with my underwear. I kicked them to the side and now I was completely naked in front of Arturo.I kept my gaze on his chest, preventing my eyes from wandering further down and it almost looked like I was glaring at his chest. He placed his hands on my hips and pulled me closer to him, making our bodies touch. My body reacted almost immediately and I know Arturo could feel it."Tell me when you want me to stop, okay?" he said and I nodded. "Use your words.""Okay, I'll tell you when you want to stop," I said.Arturo was satisfied with my an
Arturo's POVAfter that night, I could no longer think straight. I want Avery so bad, but I know I can't force him to do something he's not yet comfortable with. I didn't want to overwhelm him, but god I want to be inside him so bad. I just want to snatch him from the kitchen and fuck him senseless. "Arturo!" Tiago yelled while snapping his fingers in front of my face."Huh, what?" I asked as I snapped back into reality. "We have a meeting with Alexis this afternoon, remember?" he asked."Y-yeah, that. For what again?" I asked."You know what, maybe Tiago and I just deal with it. The way you've been looking at my brother and you being distracted the whole day already tells me everything I need to know and I really want to get it out of my mind so we'll just leave you alone before I try and kill you for wanting to fuck my brother," Leo said in one breath and dragged Tiago out of my office.I let out a sigh of relief when they left because my pants were already killing me. I tucked m
It's been a few weeks and Arturo has been completely busy. I was missing him terribly but I knew he was just finishing up some work so we can leave as safely as possible. I busied myself in the kitchen and even worked until the late hours of the night so I can stay awake until Arturo gets home. Arturo wasn't a fan of me staying up so late at night but I don't want to go to sleep without seeing him for the whole day.The bags under his eyes are deepening and it was worrying me. Even Leo and Tiago noticed it and begged him to take a rest, but he didn't listen to any of them. After a few days, I was finally able to convince him to take a rest. Arturo always seemed peaceful as he sleeps. He was genuinely a beautiful man. It was already past noon but I didn't want to wake him up yet. I want him to rest as much as possible. Arturo had his arms around me as he slept. His grip suddenly tightened around me as he nuzzled his face in my neck. He gently bit the skin at the juncture of my neck, e
I woke up later and the sun was already setting. My bladder also felt like it was about to explode. I tried getting out of bed but two arms are wrapped around me like some sort of harness, preventing me from getting out. I looked behind me and saw Arturo dead asleep. Blood doesn't seem to be coming out of his nose anymore so that's good, but it still looked a little bit bruised. I tried shaking him awake but his grip just tightened around me. "Arturo, I need to pee. Let go," I said, trying to wake him up."No," he grumbled with his eyes still closed."I need to pee," I said as I try to push him off of me. "Just pee on me then," he said and I stared at him in disbelief as his eyes snapped open, as if in shock at what just came out of his mouth.Arturo slowly let go of me and I quickly got up and went for the bathroom. After I was done relieving myself, Arturo was still on the bed, scrolling through his phone. with the way he was laying on the bed, I just wanted to go on top of him an
Avery's POVArturo had to leave the house for work today and I took the opportunity to talk to Leo since he was left behind. I knocked on his door and heard shuffling and cursing from the other side of the door before it was opened."I'm sorry, I can talk later if that's fine," I said."No, it's okay.""Yes, please."Leo and, I'm guessing Tiago, said at the same time. Silence followed after and I looked at Leo it did look like they were in the middle of something. He was shirtless and had red marks all over his neck and it didn't take a genius to figure out what they were doing. "We'll talk in my office. Let me just get dressed," Leo said and I nodded.Oddly enough, I wasn't really bothered by what I saw. I went to his office as instructed, and sat on the couch in front of his desk. I tried going over what I was going to say to him and I could feel my hands start to sweat. I bit my lip as I waited anxiously for Leo to come in, I don't know how he's going to react and it's scaring me
It's just been a few days since Avery asked for space and it's already driving me crazy. His side of the bed still smells like him an it's making me want to grab him from that kitchen and lock him in my room. I don't know what's causingme to be this clingy towards him. It's probably the horniness. I just can't belive I'm careles enough to let Avery see me like that. I keep on forgetting how different he grew up compared to me. I just hope that incident won't push him away. I'd be willing to give up everything just for him. Tiago had to make me stop working after seeing me so distracted and I hated it even more now than I don't have work to do.I'm stuck with my thoughts and I hated it. I know Avery is distracting himself by working at the kitchen and I could only watch from afar as he immerse himself into cooking. Even when we were eating together, he barely spared a galnce towards me. It took every muscle inme to stop myself from pulling him into my lap. I sighed for probably the nth
