Chapter 1:The spell I'm under
publish date:
2026-06-25 16:01:55Life is so fucking cruel.
You can want so many things, dream so hard, but never get any of it. It sucks. I never planned to live like this. I didn’t choose this path, yet every single day I find myself stuck in it, again and again. Like a cycle I can’t break. When I was little, I dreamt of being so many things. I had wild illusions about the future: freedom, love, success - hell, even peace. But this? This life I’m living now? This was never part of the dream. If someone had told me back then that this is how things would turn out, I’d have laughed in their face and called them delusional. I sigh, dragging my feet to my father’s office. I don’t know what he wants from me. Today was supposed to be my off day, my one day to be human, to do the things I love. Unless… No. He can’t know my secret. I can’t let that happen. I’m 24 years old, not some little kid he can push around anymore. But who the hell am I kidding? This man would walk through fire just to make sure I’m under his control. Always playing his twisted little mind games. That’s why I never call him my father. To me, he’s just a sperm donor, and he’ll never be addressed as anything more. I knock twice on his office door. “Come in,” he growls. Pushing the door open, I walk in. He’s already staring at me with those cold, malicious eyes. “You can have a seat,” he says, motioning toward the chair across from him. “I’m good standing,” I reply flatly, arms folded. “Fine. Stand like the fool you are. I don’t care.” I scoff. This grumpy bastard… “Why am I here? Today’s supposed to be my off day,” I state, arms still crossed. “How is that my concern, mister?” Ugh. This son of a bitch. “What do you even do with your off days anyway?” “None of your business, Mr.,” I snap, eyes narrowing. “Don’t you dare talk to me like that!” he barks, slamming his hand on the desk as he stands up. He throws a file at me. “I want you to go to the BDSM club and get information on this guy.” He points at a picture on his desk. “No questions. Do as I say. Now get the hell out of my office.” I sigh, snatch the file, and walk out into the corridor. The moment I shut the door behind me, I pull out my phone and dial Amanda. She answers on the first ring. “Hello?” “Hey. You busy?” “Not much. Wassup?” “I need your help. My father wants me to go to a BDSM club to get information on some guy.” “Oop! Are you scared of going to a BDSM club all by yourself?” she teases. I keep my face as neutral as possible. “Shut up. Don’t make this harder than it already is,” I say through clenched teeth. She bursts into laughter, like I just said the funniest thing ever. Sometimes I wonder how she laughs like that—so freely. Will there ever be a day I’ll laugh like that? “Alright, alright. I won’t tease. I promise,” she says between giggles. “Just get ready. I’ll pick you up in five.” “Okay. Bye.” “Bye.” I walk to my car, throwing one last look behind me. I don’t live under my father’s roof anymore—and thank God for that. But somehow, he still manages to control me. Every. Single. Time.

Beneath His Gaze Chapter 39: The Jealousy Game
Oliver's POV Is it break time already? I felt like taking a stroll around the school. I mean, I've been here for almost a month now, and I haven't even explored a quarter of this place. This would be the perfect opportunity since I don't have another class after this period, meaning I have plenty of time. I went from the announcement hall to the conference room, then to the sports arena, swimming pool, tennis court, volleyball court, basketball court, football field, and hockey arena. They really do have a lot of sporting facilities. No wonder this school is so expensive. After that, I headed towards the backyard, and I was absolutely awed by what I saw. It was literally a garden, complete with chairs, beautiful flowers, and well-maintained trees. The colours were perfectly aligned, and there was even a fountain. Isn't that amazing? Well, it is to me. I took a walk towards the farthest side, still admiring the beauty of the place, when I spotted two students. Perhaps they wer
Beneath His Gaze Chapter 38: Mine To Lose
Luca's POV I'm currently on my way home. I had to drive a little slower because my right hand was injured, so I was making use of my left hand. Antonio really had the guts to aim a fucking bullet at me. He just requested a war that he's not going to fucking win. I'll show him that I'm even more merciless than my father. His death is going to be really painful. He just signed a deal with the devil. This was something we were supposed to settle amicably, but he started playing mind games with us like we were fucking kids. And now he has shot me? All I know is that he's a walking dead man. When I got home, I parked my car rather carelessly before getting down. I made sure it was properly locked before heading inside. Immediately after I opened the door, I was met with everyone, including my younger brother. "Why are you guys still awake at this time?" I asked, closing the door behind me. "Oh my God, my baby!" My Papa rushed towards me, hugging me tightly as if I would turn into t
Beneath His Gaze Chapter 37: An Unexpected Visitor
Oliver's POVIt's been a week since that incident, and Luca hasn't spoken to me or even glanced in my direction. Even when I deliberately ask him questions in class, he won't look at me. He simply glances at the board and answers robotically. No raspy voice, just a bland response.The other day, I told him to wait after class, but he didn't.I know this was what I wanted, but I can't bear him ignoring me as though I don't exist. It's driving me insane."Mr Oliver, you asked for me?"Jeez, I didn't even hear him come in."Yeah.""Is there a problem? Did I fail my maths test?""No, Damien. Um..."Fuck. How the hell am I going to ask this without sounding weird?"Oh, thank goodness. Then what's it?" he asked.I cleared my throat before answering. "Is Luca okay? You know, he's been acting really quiet lately, and I've noticed you two are always together, so I thought I'd ask you.""Oh, don't worry. Luca is perfectly fine. That's just his personality. He's always quiet. The longest I've ev
Beneath His Gaze Chapter 36: Testing My Patience
Luca's POV A certain curly head has been on my mind so much that I can't even think straight. He's driving me insane. Stubborn and loud-mouthed, not my type at all. I mean, he's pretty, but his mouth? Tsk, tsk, tsk. He and Damien would make a great match. Not me. "I hate waking you up ev..." Sofiya said, bursting into my room, but stopped mid-sentence when she saw I was already up. "You're up... already?" she asked, confused. "Hmm." "This is a surprise. The Luca I know doesn't like school." I didn't reply. I just rolled my eyes. "Lock my door if you're done," I said to Sofiya, leaving the room. "Come on, Luca. Did someone steal your skin or what?" she asked, following me downstairs. "Good morning, Dad and Papa. How was your night?" I greeted my parents, who looked at me as if I had grown two heads. "Are you sure we're still alive?" Dad asked dramatically, touching Papa's arm. I just sighed and sat at the dining table, serving myself some food. "Is there any problem, Luca
Beneath His Gaze Chapter 35: A Fucking Teenager
Oliver's POVI can't believe I was manhandled by a fucking teenager, and that fucking teenager happened to be the person whose dick was down my throat a month ago.What kind of drama is this?Fuck, the way my name rolled off his tongue so heavenly, like it was made for that sole purpose. I could feel shivers every time I thought about it. I needed to stop thinking about it.I picked up the ointment and applied it to my wrist. I was currently at home. I couldn't even wait until closing time before running out of there.I needed to call Bianca before I lost my goddamn mind. After the third ring, she picked up."Hey, Oli, the Paris prince," she sang, and I just rolled my eyes. "Oi, why do you look scared?" she added with a frown."I met someone.""Who?""You won't believe it.""Okay, this is getting serious. Try me." She chuckled, sitting up properly."Remember that guy I met at the club in Los Angeles?""You've met many guys there," she said with a frown."The time those gangsters were
Beneath His Gaze Chapter 34: A Dangerous Reunion
Luca's POV I woke up to the sound of someone tapping and calling my name. I forced my eyes open slightly, only to find my sister standing beside my bed. Fuck, how did I even get home? "Wake up, Luca! You've got school!" she exclaimed. "I'm not going today," I rasped, nuzzling my head into the comfort of my pillow. "Papa, your son has refused to get up!" "You have a free pass. Use any means to wake him up, Sofiya!" my papa's voice shouted back. I heard retreating footsteps before they returned a moment later. Just as I was about to open my eyes, a bowl of cold water came splashing right into my face. "What the fuck, Sofiya?!" "What? Papa gave me permission." She shrugged, completely unbothered. "If you weren't my twin sister, I would have put a bullet through your fucking head." "Oh, I'm scared! Don't kill me, please..." She paused dramatically before rolling her eyes. "Nonsense! Get your little ass off that bed!" she said, walking out of my room. I loved my si
