Torn Between Three

Torn Between Three

Liam thought his life couldn’t get any worse—struggling to survive, working multiple jobs, and dealing with a rich, spoiled bully at school who made his life miserable. But everything takes a terrifying turn when he receives a text from the one person he never wanted to hear from again—Fabian, his obsessive, psychopathic ex, freshly released from prison and determined to get him back no matter the cost. Just as he plans to disappear and start over, things grow even more complicated. Damien, the arrogant heir who has tormented him for years, suddenly begins acting differently—offering help, showing concern, and blurring the lines between enemy and something more. And then there’s Sebastian Devereaux—a cold, powerful CEO with a haunted past. A man who isn’t supposed to care, yet somehow gets entangled in Liam’s life in ways neither of them expect. Caught between a past that won’t let him go, an enemy who might be something else entirely, and a man with demons of his own, Liam must make a choice: run for his life or risk being Torn Between Three.

Chapter: Chapter 10: MEMORIES
Before I could answer, he slammed me against the streetlight behind me, my head spun from the impact and it took me a while to regain my focus. By the time the world stopped spinning, Fabian had unzipped the backpack at his side, my stomach dropped when I saw what was inside. There were so many bottles of alcoholic drinks in his bag.“No…” I started to struggle when I realised he was about to force me to drink. My struggles were of no use, I was already weak from the alcohol, and even without the alcohol, I wasn't one to win against Fabian in a fight. I tried to push away from the pole, but Fabian’s hand shot out and caught my jaw, his fingers digging painfully into my skin. “Fabian, please.” I managed to say.It fell on deaf ears. He twisted the cap off one bottle. "If they get to make you drink," he murmured, "so do I."He forced the bottle against my mouth. I tried to twist away, but his grip on my jaw was too strong, and the alcohol poured down my throat before I could stop it. I

Chapter: Entertaining Guests
Before I knew it, a week was over, and the time Gregg me to adjust to the Enclispe Lounge had elapsed.I went to the club straight after classes, the way I always did. My feet dragged on the pavement, but I had no choice. Bills don't pay themselves and Mia's smile in my head kept reminding me why I was doing this.The moment I walked in, Gregg called me into his office. I took a deep breath before forcing my legs to follow closely behind him.He smiled when I stepped inside, but something about that smile made my skin crawl."I trust you've finished adjusting to the club." he said, as he sat down leaning back in his chair. "Tonight,” he paused. “You start making real money."I frowned. "What does that mean?"He laced his fingers together and explained. I wasn't expected to sleep with anyone, he said, like that should comfort me. I just had to sit with the wealthy clients, laugh at their jokes, drink with them, and let them touch me if they wanted.He said I shouldn't refuse anything un

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT: DAMIEN'S MUM
I frowned at his behaviour and went to the back room. After changing into the uniform I found a corner to sit in and rest my eyes. I wanted to catch up on the sleep I had missed . My eyelids felt heavy and I dozed off leaning against the wall.I don’t know how long I was out but something soft hit my face. I stood up quickly, looking around alertly, then heaved a sigh of relief when I saw it was just Daniel. “Relax, the towel didn’t hit you that hard” I smiled and picked the towel that had slid off from my chest to the floor.“Bar’s open,” he said, taking the towel from me. “Why do you always come early just to sleep? This isn’t a hotel” I couldn’t tell him that I was scared of being alone at home, so I just stood there smiling awkwardly. He rolled his eyes and threw the towel into the laundry basket in the corner before heading out.I put on my apron and followed him out. The music was on and the thumping beats made my head hurt. Sigh. No matter what, I'm never going to

Chapter: ASKING FOR GAMBLING MONEY
The next day, I dragged myself out of bed for school. I barely slept — again. The club closed around 1 a.m., and by the time I got home, showered, and tried to calm my racing heart, it was already close to 3 a.m. The constant late nights were wearing me down. I glanced at the mirror, and as expected, I saw the exhaustion in my eyes. My skin was pale and I looked like a ghost. I sighed and splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would wake me up. It didn’t help much.School was a blur. I sat through class after class, barely listening. My mind kept wandering back to Fabian — to that night when he whispered in my ear. I still hadn’t seen him since then, but that didn’t make me feel safe. In fact, not seeing him scared me more. It made it feel like he was just waiting for the right moment. Watching. Waiting.Every small sound made me flinch. A chair scraping the floor. A book falling off a desk. Someone slamming their locker shut. Even laughter felt too loud. I hated how paranoid I’d

Chapter: Unwanted Attention
I didn’t want to get up. My body felt like it weighed a ton, and my head hurt so bad, I thought it might burst. Every sound outside my door made me flinch. Even the sunlight sneaking through the curtains made my skin feel too warm.Then came the knocking.At first, it was soft.“Liam?” That voice again. Damien.I didn’t move.He knocked again, louder this time. “Liam, open the door.”I buried my head in my pillow. Maybe if I stayed still long enough, he’d leave.But the knocking turned into banging. “Liam! If you don’t open this door, I swear—”I dragged myself off the mattress and unlocked the door just in time to see him about to slam into it with his shoulder.He stopped. His eyes widened. “What the hell, Liam...?”I blinked up at him. Everything was spinning. “What... are you doing here?”“You didn’t reply to my texts. You didn’t answer your phone. What's going on with you? Did you cry? You look like shit” I ignored whatever he was saying and stared at him like he had two he

Chapter: Meeting Face to Face
I accompanied Mia the whole day, then walked her home when we were done. “You're not going to come in?” She said when we reached the streets to the house.She always asks this question whenever I accompany her home, though she knows the answer but she still hopes I would go in. I shook my head “Not today”She sighed, expecting that as my answer.I smiled “Go inside” “See you later Lee” she said softly. I watched her enter the house before turning away. Eclipse Lounge was louder than expected. I weaved my way through the crowd and went to the counter. I felt someone tap me “ You're the new kid” I nodded, not comfortable with the word kid. “I'm Gregg, the owner of the place” he handed me a black button-up shirt.”Wear this”“Where do I change?”“The locker room”I blinked at him“Oh, you're new here.” He pointed towards the back. “Once you reach the back, keep moving forward. You'll see a locker room sign.”I nodded and went in the direction he pointed at and quickly
