Bloody Road: Abandoned by Family, Imprisoned by Destiny
Jose Watson, a young man ostracized by his family due to his sexual orientation, found his life shattered after being betrayed by his own lover, Kent Morris. Wounded and desperate, Jose fled to the City of Meridian to build a new identity as Sebastian Allen.
His life changed drastically after meeting Mateo Luca, who helped him get a job at the Bridge Log company. At work, Sebastian became involved in a complicated love triangle with two male friends, Luis Anderson and Jason Smith. Although he eventually chose Luis, Sebastian's happiness was disturbed by the evil conspiracy of Clara Taylor, Luis's ex-lover, who spread vicious slander to destroy his reputation.
It did not stop there; Sebastian was dragged into corporate intrigue until he had to languish behind bars on charges of embezzlement that he never committed. At the lowest point of his life, he must engage in a hard struggle to clear his name amidst the barrage of slander and betrayal that never ends.
Sebastian Allen now stands at a crossroads full of uncertainty. Will he be able to prove the truth and seize back his freedom from the snares of the conspiracy that bind him, or will he give in to fate and let those accusations destroy his own future forever?

Chapter: Capther 9My stomach twisted violently, forcing my eyelids open. I woke up curled in a ball, the lingering ache from the long journey still stuck in my shoulders. Bright light pierced through the window glass, dazzling my vision that wasn't fully focused yet. I sat on the edge of the mattress, staring at the floor for a few seconds to gather my consciousness.My hand groped the small table beside the bed. My phone was lying there with a black screen. I pressed it repeatedly, but there was no reaction. The battery was dead. A small panic immediately struck my chest. I needed this phone for information, for directions, for everything."I have to find a charger cable," I muttered softly. The phone wasn't just an object; without it, I was lost in a city this big. After the dizziness subsided, I washed my face with cold water. The mirror showed a face I didn't fully recognize: Sebastian Allen. This new identity still felt like clothes that were too big. I dried my face, grabbed a t-shirt from the su

Chapter: Chapter 8I stood frozen in front of the old building, trying to gather the remnants of my courage. I took deep breaths over and over, hoping this fear would soon go away. Yet, my fingers couldn't lie; my hands were shaking violently as I pulled my phone from my pocket. After keeping it off for so long for the sake of peace, I finally turned it back on. It only took a few seconds to type the number from that ad, until, finally, the ringtone was heard."Hello?" A woman's voice sounded on the other end. Her tone was firm, thin, and sounded busy."Hello, I'm Sebastian. Is this the owner of the apartment advertised in the newspaper?" I asked. My voice sounded more anxious than I wanted it to."Yes, that's right. Is there something I can help you with?""I'd like to see the apartment. Is today possible? I'm already in front of the location now," I said quickly. I hoped she wouldn't refuse. I had no other plan if this place was already taken."Oh, today is fine. I'm not far from there. Wait ten minut

Chapter: Chapter 7The pier floor felt hard under my shoes as I dragged the suitcase with the lopsided wheel. The scraping sound of that broken suitcase wheel was deafening, creating a screech that made me feel like everyone around was staring at me. I bowed my head, trying to hide my face. I didn't want anyone to recognize my anxious gestures. Everyone passing by seemed to have a clear destination, their steps fast and confident. I, on the other hand, just stood frozen near the pier exit, trying to hold back the panic creeping up my neck.I saw a bus stop not far from there. Without thinking, I immediately walked toward it. My stride was a bit jerky because the suitcase wheel kept getting caught in the cracks of the tiles. I pulled the suitcase roughly, forcing it to move. Sweat began to soak my back from the effort. Once at the stop, I stared at the route board filled with numbers and street names unfamiliar to me. My head spun seeing that array of information. I didn't know where I had to go. I didn'

Chapter: CHAPTER 6The ferry engine's vibration traveled constantly through the metal floor, rising to the soles of my feet and continuing up to my shoulders. I sat in the darkest corner of the deck, away from the crowd of other passengers. My hand squeezed my jeans pocket tightly. There was an envelope full of money in there. It contained Yael’s savings. I could feel the corners of the paper digging into my thigh every time I moved even a little. The money felt heavy, heavier than the suitcase I was carrying beside my feet.I didn't dare look toward the open deck. I just stared at the oil stain drying on the ship's floor. My stomach twisted violently. Every time the ship swayed, the nausea rose to my throat. I had to swallow repeatedly to hold back the bitter sensation stuck in my throat.Suddenly, a shadow fell over me."May I sit here?"I jolted. My head snapped up quickly. A middle-aged man in a shirt that looked worn, yet had a neatly arranged collar, was standing there. He didn't wait for my answe

Chapter: Chapter 5The smell of the harbor was suffocating. A mixture of spilled diesel fuel, rusty metal, fishy odor, and the sweat of hundreds of people crowding together made my stomach churn. I stood among the crowd, freezing on the dock while people passed by, pushing suitcases, or shouting, looking for their family members. In front of me, the hull of the ferry towered high, its steel walls looking cold and indifferent to anyone trying to get on board.This wasn't just a ship. This was a clear boundary line. Behind me was the world that had thrown me away, and in front of me was a terrifying uncertainty.My fingers shook violently in my jacket pocket, touching the envelope Yael had given me. The texture of the paper felt rough, a reminder of the heavy burden I had left on my brother’s shoulders.I wasn't just carrying money; I was carrying the trust of someone who still saw me as a human being, not as a family asset or a "perfect child." Every time my fingers brushed against the envelope, I felt a

Chapter: Chapter 4My footsteps dragged, clashing with the asphalt that now felt like an enemy hindering my escape. This city park, which usually bore witness to Yael and Mei's laughter, now felt foreign. I threw myself down on a wet and cold iron bench. My clothes were soaked, clinging to my skin like a layer of burden I could no longer carry.My mind spun wildly. Not just about Dad throwing me out onto the street as if I were garbage, but about Kent. That scene from earlier—Kent’s hand wrapped around the girl's waist, their crisp laughter—kept replaying in my head. It felt like a thorn being forcibly ripped from a freshly gaping wound. I laughed, the hoarse sound coming out of my throat sounding out of tune. I threw everything away, leaving behind the comfort of life for the sake of honesty, while the person I made my support turned out to be playing a role behind my back."Brother Jose? Brother Jose, is that really you?"I flinched. My head turned quickly, my neck feeling stiff. There stood Yael, cat
