Chapter: Chapter 142 ENDLeo scratched his forehead, seemingly embarrassed by his own flimsy excuse."I'll tell the Belmontes you're on a business trip."Valentine said nonchalantly, then leaned back into the car seat. His face made it clear he had no intention of listening to any more protests."We're going to Miami on a private jet?"Jerry, who had been keeping quiet, cautiously asked Leo. When Leo nodded, Jerry raised his eyebrows as if he'd hit the jackpot.An uncomfortable silence fell over the car. Valentine had always been that kind of man, but it couldn't feel good to be dragged around like this in such a situation. Eugene didn't feel like protesting further to a man who would do as he pleased anyway, regardless of objections.How long had he been staring out the car window? Something touched his forearm resting on his leg.Looking down, he saw white fingers creeping onto his forearm. They carefully slid down his arm, across the back of his hand, and slipped between Eugene's fingers. When left undistu

Chapter: Chapter 141"Don Datero came to see you, didn't he? After yesterday, Eugene brother must have become the most famous person in New York. If Don Datero came all the way here to talk with you personally, that says it all, doesn't it?"Jerry chattered with an excited expression."Of course it's natural. Not only did you expose the FBI and Don Colvino's conspiracy by faking your death, but you also instantly—BANG!—took out Don Colvino while he was threatening Don Luciano with a gun to his head. This is practically like saving all of New York!""..."Hearing the heavily embellished heroic tale that Jerry had been spouting while drunk yesterday now coming out in broad daylight, Eugene felt like he wanted to clamp Jerry's mouth shut."If it weren't for our Eugene brother, wouldn't the council and all of New York have been destroyed by those FBI bastards? Right, brother?"Jerry sought agreement from Angelo Casani, who was approaching."That's right."Angelo Casani readily agreed with Jerry and went furth

Chapter: Chapter 140They spoke simultaneously and then fell silent at the same time."...My mouth was dry from drinking too much, so I ate some candy."Eugene calmly said, picking up the candy wrappers and putting them on the nightstand."I see."Jerry nodded, adjusting the tray to a comfortable position for Eugene with an awkward expression. Eugene straightened his posture and removed the sheet. Two more candy wrappers were revealed, scattered on the bed."...Those too?"Jerry asked. Eugene silently collected the plastic wrappers and placed them on the nightstand.The freshly made frittata stimulated his appetite. Eugene moistened his throat with water, drained half a cup of strong coffee, and immediately picked up his fork. Jerry, perched on the edge of the bed watching Eugene eat, kept glancing at the candy wrappers on the nightstand. The twitching at the corner of his mouth suggested he had something he wanted to say."Could you get me another cup of coffee?"After finishing the remaining coffee and

Chapter: Chapter 139"Jerry."Before Eugene could offer any comfort or greeting, Jerry's shoulders began to shake."I thought... you... were... dead..."Jerry sobbed, uttering each word separately, and as it became difficult to stand on one leg, he slowly slid downward while still embracing Eugene. Despite trying to keep Jerry upright, it was beyond Eugene's strength to support the large young man. Eventually, Jerry, just like on the first day he came to the Belmonte residence, wrapped his arms around Eugene's calves and shed tears. Tony Rico, who had initially watched with a mocking gaze, finally had to forcibly drag Jerry away, ending the emotional reunion."...I need to clean up."As the welcome was winding down, Eugene spoke while examining his disheveled appearance. Jerry, who had been sitting sprawled on the floor, sniffled and wobbled to his feet, tucking his crutch under his armpit. Perhaps because he was severely injured during the attack, or maybe because something had happened between them afte

Chapter: Chapter 138"I'm sorry."The elderly man holding the gun to Don Luciano's temple, Don Colvino, apologized to the Chirico brothers with a melancholy expression."Everyone would be wise not to move."Don Colvino warned, pressing the gun muzzle harder against Don Luciano's temple. Leo, who had been aiming his gun at Don Colvino from right beside him, stepped back with a troubled expression."Unbelievable."Giovanni Belmonte was the first to mutter in a cold tone. Mateo and Alberto, who had been friends with Santino Colvino for decades, stood frozen with their eyes wide open in shock."Oh, Santino. My friend."Don Luciano sighed with a face immersed in sadness. Don Colvino's face contorted as if about to cry."I'm sorry, Ricardo. But I had no choice. Melania, my only granddaughter, was arrested on drug possession charges. Ricardo, you know Melania. She's a good girl who got into college on a scholarship. She just made a momentary mistake, falling for a friend's deception.""You could have told me.""

Chapter: Chapter 137Just before reaching the yacht, Eugene looked at Valentine, who stood tall beside him. His golden hair, fluttering in the sea breeze, sparkled like gold dust under the strong sunlight. From the moment they boarded the yacht, Valentine and Eugene would return to being Luciano and Belmonte. It was uncertain how their relationship would unfold afterward. They hadn't discussed this point at all. But somehow, Eugene wasn't worried. He had a vague feeling that everything would work out. It wasn't forced optimism. It was simply a groundless belief that Valentine would resolve things on his own.Finally, they reached the yacht. Leo went first, pushing the wheelchair across the gangplank. Valentine followed behind."My God, Ricky! Valentine!"Mateo exclaimed, hugging Don Luciano and Valentine in turn and showering them with kisses. Alberto was no exception.Eugene walked toward Giovanni Belmonte, who stood tall. Giovanni Belmonte waited until Eugene reached him, then extended both arms to embr

Chapter: Chapter 96As they got closer to the express bus terminal, the traffic should have become more congested, but there was nothing around.When Mitch anxiously stared at the gardener who was driving, he gave an awkward smile.“The road to the terminal is blocked at this hour, so we’re taking a detour… We’re almost there.”“…”Since Mitch had never driven to the terminal himself, he had no choice but to believe the gardener’s words.I should have insisted on going alone. I shouldn’t have asked him to drive. He felt uncomfortable in many ways throughout the drive. But it wasn’t something he could undo now. Mitch tried to remain calm and stared out the window.“If you go down that road, you’ll find a famous temple called Caryen Temple. It’s quite large, so you should visit sometime.”The gardener explained, as if he had suddenly remembered, looking at the direction leading to the side road. Mitch, still not completely erasing his suspicion, simply replied shortly, “Yes.”And about a minute later, cars

Chapter: Chapter 95Perhaps, if things continue like this, I might lose Kadlawon.Upon reaching that conclusion, Mitch’s body grew cold. As he began to harbor suspicions about every word and action of Douglass’s, everything felt like a lie.No, wasn’t it actually a lie? Douglass had already deceived him countless times.Mitch took a deep breath, feeling a dull ache spreading from his lower abdomen. This sometimes happened when he didn’t sleep well or wasn’t feeling well, but it would always get better quickly. But now, unlike usual, the pain felt more intense.“I’m sorry, but I’d like you to leave now.”Hazel seemed to say something more to him after that, but Mitch no longer had the capacity to listen to her voice. Leaning against a nearby wall, he interrupted her incessant talking and asked her to leave in the calmest tone he could muster.Hazel didn’t show any displeasure even though her words were cut short.“Well, that’s something for you two to figure out. Anyway, if you’ve seen everything inside,

Chapter: Chapter 94It was a statement loaded with meaning.While Hazel was clearly the intruder in this space, Mitch stood rooted to the spot, unable to move, as if shackled. Watching him, Hazel smiled faintly.“I never imagined I’d see you here again. Surprise.”“…I asked what brings you here.”Mitch reiterated his question about the purpose of her visit.“I think that’s what I should be asking. I kind of knew you were seeing Douglass, but this is… how should I put it… serious?”Hazel glanced around the interior of the villa beyond the entrance. Mitch felt tense and uncomfortable, as if her gaze was peering into his private life.“Is Douglass inside?”“No. He’s at work.”“Judging by the fact that he hasn’t appeared yet, I suppose so. Um, Mr. Mitch, can I come in? The atmosphere makes it seem like I’m the guest.”Hazel asked politely before taking off her shoes.Mitch, still undecided on how to handle this situation, hesitated for a moment before nodding. It didn’t seem right to keep her standing at the

Chapter: Chapter 93“…….”Was Douglass still considering marrying his fiancée? The wedding was supposed to be next year, still a long way off.It didn’t add up. Douglass had promised to take responsibility for the child, and that meant he might call off the scheduled wedding, so there shouldn’t have been any progress in the wedding preparations during that time.Could it be that he wasn’t yet certain about Kadlawon’s paternity and was just going through the motions of marrying his fiancée?The thought that wedding preparations might be underway without his knowledge made Mitch’s stomach churn. Unpleasant palpitations and heavy, negative thoughts overwhelmed him.Rather than agonizing over this alone, it might be better to ask Douglass directly. It had also been a while since they’d talked about marriage…No, honestly, it was difficult to even say they had properly discussed it. He always tried to hide the schedule and his partner, and Mitch had only overheard information from others at gatherings.Ultima

Chapter: Chapter 92He frowned as if he was incredibly annoyed. He’d said he had a lot of work at the company, but if his secretary was coming all the way out to this remote place on a weekend, he must be really busy these days.“When are they coming? Don’t you need to go to Manila?”“No, not that. I’ll be out for just two hours.”“…Alright.”Mitch said sympathetically. Seeing Mitch’s expression, Douglass pulled up one corner of his mouth and approached him.“Button my shirt for me.”Mitch nodded obediently. And he buttoned Douglass’s shirt one by one. Each time he reached out and moved, his swollen belly repeatedly brushed against Douglass’s lower abdomen.“Do you know you waddle like a penguin these days? You’re totally swaying.”“Funny. It hasn’t gotten that big yet.”“It’s true. Shouldn’t you be wearing maternity clothes like dresses now?”“It’s not that bad.”Mitch lightly pinched Douglass’s side, and Douglass feigned pain. Then he carefully wrapped his hand around Mitch’s belly.“Is that so? I wish

Chapter: Chapter 91Mitch slowly picked it up. His movements were naturally sluggish as he tried to move without putting pressure on his stomach.The ring had an unremarkable design, but judging by the overall finish and the evenly balanced thickness, it was hard to consider it entirely ordinary.However, as far as he knew, the only accessory Douglass usually wore was a watch. He’d never seen him wear a ring before.So why did this come out of his clothes? Besides, the size seemed to fit Douglass’s finger perfectly.“Let’s go.”Just as Mitch’s thoughts reached that point, Douglass returned. Mitch instinctively clenched his fist, hiding the ring.“Okay.”Before starting the car, Douglass, sitting in the driver’s seat, checked on Mitch as usual.“Why did you unbuckle your seatbelt?”“Ah, it was a bit stuffy…”“Put it back on.”“Mm-hmm.”Mitch fumbled with the seatbelt, fastening it. The ring was still in his hand.Strangely, his heart was racing.Should he ask now? If it was his ring. Actually, whether it

Chapter: Scene 16Adrian’s face was full of expectation as he handed the ball to Arth.Arth hesitated before taking it, positioning himself midway to the hoop. He stood just shy of the three-point line, and his stance looked familiar—like something out of a textbook.He jumped and shot with textbook form.The ball arced nicely but fell short, bouncing off before it even touched the rim.I sighed in relief. Even I miss three-pointers sometimes, and if a complete beginner like him had sunk one on his first try, my spot as shooting guard might’ve been in jeopardy. For now, his height made him a better fit for center.Adrian clapped exaggeratedly and stepped forward. “Great job! You’ve got potential. Your form’s clean. I was shocked—it’s just like Elias. Now that I think about it, you two kinda look alike.”“How so?”Arth, who’d been staring blankly at the rolling ball, suddenly looked up.“Uh… the handsome part?”Seriously? I rolled my eyes so hard it was almost audible.Arth, unlike me, took Adrian’

Chapter: Scene 15The wind rushed in through the hole stretched open by the vibrator. Shiver—. Shiver—. My shoulders trembled violently, jerking sporadically.The man held the remote for the pink vibrator and looked at me. I frantically shook my head. If both vibrators started vibrating at once, I felt like I’d realize something I could never take back. The man watched me shake my head and leisurely turned up the switch. The vibrator inside me began to move. The pink vibrator collided with the black one, shaking. The vibrations traveled through my insides, sending heat straight to my core. The intensity was so brutal that the pain in my guts was secondary—my hips jerked up violently.Everything that had been building up exploded like fireworks, just from adding one more tiny vibrator.“Ah, ah, no. I said no. I don’t want this!”I couldn’t admit to the pleasure.Feeling it in my ass was something only gays did.I wasn’t gay. I hated myself so much in that moment, I couldn’t stand it.“Shut up

Chapter: Scene 14I clenched my mouth shut and resisted. The man pressed inside me roughly, as if probing my insides. The pain made me open my mouth involuntarily, and he took the chance to push the vibrator inside.The man let out a low moan, as if excited.Below, he roughly probed my insides, and above, he forced my mouth open wider around the vibrator.When I tried to push the vibrator out with my tongue, he laughed. Then, he twisted the vibrator.“I thought about how to become the person you need.”“What nonsense…… Ah……!”“You need me, but I don’t seem to need you. I wondered why. The answer was obvious. Ah, you only refuse me because it hurts.”With the vibrator in my mouth, my words were muffled. The man pulled it out and shoved his hand into my mouth. His rough fingers made me gag, and I thrashed.He pressed my tongue down with his thumb and index finger, playfully lifting it. The pain of my tongue being forced out of my mouth felt like the muscle was tearing.He placed the black vibrator

Chapter: Scene 13After dropping the boxes in the recycling area, I turned around to see Arth standing there. He still had that stiff expression as he placed the box he’d brought next to the one I’d set down. His box was filled with square plastic cases—CD cases, it seemed. Maybe he was into watching movies. I glanced at the movie posters peeking out from the cases and muttered to myself. There had to be dozens of them.“By the way, you’re tall.”“……”“Our department is recruiting freshmen, and being tall is an advantage. It’s the basketball club. You could even be a starter…… Well……”“……”“Right…… I guess not. No interest, huh. Okay……”Maybe it was better not to talk at all.“Nice meeting you, then.”I gave him an awkward smile, and he furrowed his brow. I bowed my head and turned to walk past him.Arth took a step to block my path.I thought he was trying to pass by, so I moved to the left, but he blocked me again.Confused, I looked up at him.“First time.”“……What?”I didn’t understand, so I asked

Chapter: Scene 12For a moment, his eyes darkened with an unreadable depth as he stared at the dominoes. Then, he met my gaze and spoke in a suddenly low voice.“You’re good at dominoes.”“I played a lot when I was little.”“With who?”“……”Who had I played with? I remembered playing dominoes often as a child, but I couldn’t recall exactly who it was with. I tilted my head, lost in thought.After a brief hesitation, I nudged the last block with a tap.It fell with a crisp clatter, forming a perfect star shape.“I was too young to remember.”“Is that so?”Eric seemed to study my dominoes before turning back to his laptop.“Can you make other shapes?”“A rose, maybe……”“That must be hard. Try it.”“Eric, do you like this kind of thing?”“……Yeah.”There was a short pause, but he ended our conversation and flipped through the design files on his screen. I started arranging the dominoes into a rose shape.A rose needed red and green blocks. It didn’t require many pieces, and it was simple to make. I used th

Chapter: Scene 11I didn’t understand what that had to do with me, but if it wasn’t something that would hurt me and was just about stacking dominoes, it wasn’t so bad. Still, I couldn’t trust him, so I hesitated and asked, “……Is that all?”The man knew what I was afraid of. He stared at me, then suddenly smirked. He placed the chicken inasal in front of me and took out a pair of plastic spork and spoon from the bag, aligning them neatly.“I want to be someone you need.”“……”“So let’s play dominoes.”“……”I couldn’t comprehend the connection between his terrifying declaration and the domino game. My ordinary mind couldn’t make sense of what this madman was saying. But one thing was certain: no matter what, he could never become someone I needed.“Eat.”I cautiously picked up the spork and put a chicken in my mouth. My eyes watered. I couldn’t hold back and quickly stuffed the chicken inasal into my mouth.The short meal lasted about 10 minutes. It wasn’t because he told me to stop, but because there w
