Chapter: THE GLASS CASTLE CRACKS The sun dripped gold across the lavish wedding venue, setting the scene aglow with a surreal charm. Everything looked picture-perfect, almost too perfect, like a fairytale written with precision and power. Clara and Julian's wedding was the event of the season, an opulent affair meant to dazzle, silence rumors, and elevate prestige.Liam stood at the edge of the gathering, watching everything unfold as though he were underwater, sound muffled and movements slowed. His chest felt tight, constricted by the choking grip of disbelief. Julian looked striking in his white tuxedo, Clara dazzling in a sleeveless, crystal-embellished gown that shimmered like a river of stars.It was happening. It was actually happening.Julian was marrying Clara.Liam couldn’t breathe.He clutched his champagne glass too tightly, the sweat of his palm sliding against the stem. He had spent days burying guilt, pretending everything was fine, smiling for Jasper, laughing at nothing. But right here, in this momen

Chapter: BREAKLiam bit the inside of his cheek. Hard.The words he wanted to say, about Julian, about everything, burned on his tongue.But he swallowed them down.“I'm just tired,” he said instead.It was the safest lie he had left.Jasper studied him for a long moment, something dark and pained in his eyes.“Just... hold on a little longer, okay?” Jasper said softly. "After the wedding... everything will be different."Liam nodded mutely, but inside, he wasn’t so sure.Because some wounds didn’t heal with time.Some bruises didn’t fade.And Liam was starting to realize — some cracks, once made, could never be undone.The house was quiet — unnervingly so.Liam walked barefoot through the guest wing of the estate, one hand trailing along the polished banister. Everything looked picture-perfect, but all he could feel was the invisible weight of judgment and whispers clinging to the walls.He hadn’t seen Clara since the scene she caused at the rehearsal venue. He didn’t want to.Julian hadn’t called.

Chapter: A BRUISE He stood by the stairwell, watching Clara twirl in her wedding dress as Julian beamed at her. Cameras flashed around them, capturing every perfect angle, every loving gaze.Liam's stomach churned.Julian looked so comfortable — so natural. Like he hadn't turned Liam's world upside down just days ago. Like the night they had spent together had been nothing more than a figment of Liam’s stupid, selfish imagination.You fool, Liam thought bitterly, clenching his fists behind his back.Beside him, Jasper was chatting lightly with one of Clara’s bridesmaids, a polite smile fixed on his face. His hand brushed Liam’s in a small, grounding touch — an unspoken I’m here — but it only made Liam feel sicker.He didn’t deserve Jasper’s warmth.He didn’t deserve his trust.“Hey,” Jasper murmured, leaning closer, “you okay?”Liam blinked rapidly, forcing a grin. “Yeah. Just… hungry.”Jasper chuckled softly, squeezing his hand before stepping away to grab them both something from the buffet.Liam wat

Chapter: PRETENCE “You’re disgusting,” Jasper said, stepping forward. “You only care about perception. Never people.”“Well,” Mr. Davenport said calmly, “you have two weeks. By your brother’s wedding, this ‘relationship’ ends. Or I end it for you.”Jasper stared at him, loathing burning in his veins. “I hate you.”He meant it more now than ever before.“I wish you’d died instead of Mom.”That should’ve been the nuclear bomb. The unforgivable statement.But Mr. Davenport didn’t flinch.He smiled.“If you really wish that,” he said coldly, “I hope you’re prepared to watch that boy die because of you.”The words hung in the air like poison.Jasper’s chest tightened. “You wouldn’t Dare”“You know what I’m capable of,” his father said, standing now, his presence towering. “You’ve seen it.”“I’ll go to the press,” Jasper threatened. “I’ll destroy you.”His father leaned in, voice quiet. “And drag Liam down with you? Who do you think they’ll believe, Jasper? Me, the respected billionaire with a network of law

Chapter: HIDE ITHe slicked himself up, then positioned himself at Julian’s entrance.“Do it,” Julian gritted out.Liam pressed in slowly, watching Julian’s face for any sign of pain. Julian’s breath hitched, but he kept his gaze steady.When Liam was fully inside him, he paused. “Are you okay?”Julian laughed bitterly. “Do I look okay?”Liam shook his head. “You shouldn’t have called me.”“Maybe not,” Julian admitted. “But I couldn’t stand seeing you with him. I can’t let you go, Liam. Not completely.”Liam didn’t know what to say to that. So he started to move. Slow, deep thrusts that made Julian’s breath catch in his throat.Julian reached down and started stroking himself in time with Liam’s movements.Laim watched him, mesmerized. “Fuck, I really do fucking hate you” he murmured.Julian’s lips curled into a smirk. “I know,” he said. “And you love it.”Liam shook his head, smiling despite himself. “You’re impossible.”Julian wrapped his Liam's legs tighter around his waist. “I know. Now I will mak

Chapter: THE GUILT Julian didn’t hear the door open. He was sitting in the private back room of the lounge, the bottle now almost empty, his face flushed, eyes red.Liam stepped in quietly.“Julian.”Julian looked up, startled. And then, seeing Liam, his expression cracked. Like a wall collapsing. He stood shakily, knocking over his glass.“You came,” he said hoarsely.Liam took a step closer. “You texted me.”Julian’s eyes shimmered. “I’m sorry, Liam.”He stumbled forward and gripped Liam’s shirt like a man drowning. “I’m so fucking sorry.”Liam didn’t answer. But his arms wrapped around Julian before he realized he’d moved. It felt like muscle memory. Like exhaling after holding his breath for too long.Julian buried his face in Liam’s neck, trembling. “You were the only thing that felt right.”“I know,” Liam whispered. “I know.”Julian pulled back slightly, his eyes bloodshot but locked on Liam’s. “Can I kiss you?”Liam didn’t respond.Julian leaned forward anyway.Their lips met like a crash –despe
