ViaAlexander isn't in the same place anymore, and I notice him right beside the stairs. Nathaniel and Sebastian are no longer by the door either, but I don't bother trying to look for them.I turn to look at Maximilian again and nod. "Yeah," I say, then try to reach a bowl from the top cabinet.In the process, I go on my tiptoes and try to succeed at fetching the bowl but fail terribly. I end up trying again, but this time I feel a hard body press me against the counter."What—" The smell of Maximilian's cologne and alcohol hits me hard, and I watch Maximilian's hand as he goes to grab a bowl."I just want to help you, Via," he says softly.Feeling trapped and small under him made my mind fuzzy. The amount of times I was in this position with every single one of them was beginning to consume my mind.Feeling so vulnerable under them made me feel hot and heated. Trying not to have this feeling was becoming harder and harder the longer I kept space between us.Maximilian places the bow
ViaI'm just going to roll my eyes and turn around to take another look at the documents that are sitting on Nathaniel's desk.Everything that I was learning at this point felt like fuel being added to a forest fire. Despite the fact that I had gained a great deal of knowledge about them, I suppose that I would not have had the strength to yell at them at this moment.However, there was one fact that could not be questioned. There was no explanation for why my guys were fighting with such ferocity. They had a great deal of similarities.The quest for power was the driving force behind all of them. That was clear and unquestionable.The day that we first met, Alexander informed me that he had married Amanda in order to raise his ownership part in his father's firm. I was not surprised by this information.This was not the case when Hazel fell pregnant after Nathaniel had married her in order to guarantee the succession of his family's titles.It was not until Sebastian made the decisio
Via"Kol," I chastised, shaking my head.He gave a headshake. "At first, you were correct. This was a poor choice. Come with me home." He bolted from there.My levels of annoyance and rage were so elevated that I felt like I might blow up.I approached him a few steps, and he swiftly placed the binder he was holding on top of the bookcase before grabbing the one I wanted. "Kol, give me the binder," I said, starting to lose patience."Via, listen—" He started, but everything he said after that simply made my fire grow bigger."Kol." I moved in closer to him as he pulled back once more."Listen to me, Via." He held the binder behind his back. "Your boyfriends are good men and you have strong feelings for them—""Jesus, Kol, shut the fuck up and give me the binder!" I screamed at him, and he leapt to his feet because I was so angry."All of this is getting to your head. You need a break. Come on, let's go," he said, rolling his eyes."For heaven's sake."I closed my eyes and took a deep
ViaThe second photograph depicts Sebastian working the cash register. Since the previous waitress is standing behind the register, I can only see his back even though he's facing me. In the last picture in this collection, Sebastian is leaving the café, and Nichole looks furious.I anticipated seeing more pictures as I turned to the next page, but there were none. Instead, I was confronted with another blank sheet bearing yet another time, date, and heading.28 November7:54 PM: The EventAs I turn the page, I am completely taken aback by what I discovered. It's hard for me to contain my laughter.In the first picture, Sebastian can be seen exiting a limousine. Dressed in a black tuxedo with a flower in his pocket square, he exudes refinement and sophistication.When I see the next photo, I find myself at a loss for words. Frustration causes my heart to swell. The intensity of my feelings leaves me completely submerged in the moment.Sebastian stands at the limousine entrance, extend
ViaI see another white page with writing after viewing the eight photographs.Fourth of DecemberThe meeting began at 9:36 a.m.Based on the date, Aston surprised me by having me on a computer call with Sebastian on December 5. It seems likely that this alleged meeting took place some hours following my conversation with him. My talk with him was probably cut short because of this meeting as well.I had no idea who the hell these four individuals were, but these photos showed Sebastian eating with them. Whatever this meeting was about, it was obviously important because there were three sets of images for this category, but I had no fucking idea.December 6thThe Deal, 23:34Based on the fact that December 6th fell on a Monday, I can infer that I spoke with him late that day.This photo set just shows Sebastian eating dinner with a few men once more. In every photo, Sebastian has a serious expression. There's only one photo of him that doesn't depict him as serious. His expression ha
Nathaniel"God, I missed her. I missed her so much. So fucking much," I muttered."She's one of the two things in my life I wouldn't take back for the world. The first being my son.""I was stupid for helping Sebastian lie to her. I should've ratted his ass out, and he would've been the only one to pay for his own bullshit. Me, Alexander, and Maximilian would've been fine. Perfectly fine."*Drip**Drip Drip*"I wish that were true too, but that too was bullshit.""Maybe if I said that lie enough, it could actually reverse time and manifest itself into reality. Even for a fucking second.""Just so I could hold her in my arms again, kiss her, and not wake up in a lifeless cold bed.""Yeah, she would come over to my house but not for me. She shows up and instantly goes straight to my son. Literally pretending that I'm not present. She pretends I'm like a painting on my house walls.""I was going crazy, and when I went to speak to her, she'd just ignore me. Unless it had to do with Lance.
NathanielThese are the moments where I wished we weren't on a break with her. I wanted Maximilian to spank the sass out of her. I wanted to watch as he turned her ass red. Then I wanted to see Alexander fuck her in the ass while Sebastian fucked her pussy.I originally wasn't a voyeur, that was more Alexander's thing, but man, the thought sounded great. Seeing Via so consumed with pleasure was a fucking sight, and man, was I addicted. Seeing her come over and over and beg for mercy was—"You know what, I'll order pizza," her words snapped me out of my thoughts."No, you won't." I quickly added tomatoes and onions to the pan and turned back to her. "Continue testing my patience by being a brat. I dare you, Via.""And if I continue to?" She rolled her eyes and grabbed the cup of yogurt from the counter. "It's not like you can fuck it out of me. Let alone touch me," she mumbled the second sentence."Can't I?" I bit back at her. "When I first made you cum, I barely touched you, and you b
NathanielAfter I set the table and finish setting everything up, I go to the living room and come to a halt.I see Via dressed in a short ass black skirt, black shirt, and in black slip-on shoes. Her makeup is all black-themed and she has her wavy hair up in a ponytail."Where are you going dressed like that?" I ask. The words come out harsh and my sudden voice makes her jump and drop the earring she was putting on.She instantly bends down to pick it up, which makes her short ass skirt go up. "Don't worry about it, I'll be safe and-" I cut her off instantly."Where are you going Via?" I ask again.She rolls her eyes and puts on her earring. "One of Aiden's races is a few towns away," she says, and I feel anger surge through my body."You're going to a fucking race dressed like that? What are you, the flag girl?" I ask, needing straightforward answers.She fixes her skirt and nods. "Yes, actually," she says, which makes me even more pissed."You're not going," I say, pointing at her
