LOGINJose 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?

"Your room is such a mess," he hissed as he carefully carried me until we reached the edge of the bed. "Sleep. Which part hurts again? Let me treat it.""Nothing hurts," I replied quickly, cutting off his answer. Obviously, I would never admit that the remnants of last night were still leaving a lingering, painful ache in my lower body."Reid, I'm so thirsty..." my voice choked, so weak it was almost inaudible. Hearing that, Reid moved quickly, scanning every inch of the desk and the small kitchen corner in the room with an anxious look."Where's your water bottle?""There isn't any... I haven't even had a single drop in the last twelve hours," I said with the remnants of the energy I had. Reid gasped, his eyes widening in disbelief."You want to die of dehydration, huh?! Don't go anywhere!" he shouted in panic, then bolted out toward his own room.Not long after, Reid's shadow flashed
For three days now, the walls of this apartment bedroom have been my only place of refuge, while my stomach hasn't touched food at all. This morning, the air felt a little lighter when I woke up. The pain that tormented my body began to soften, as did the purplish-red blotches on my skin that were slowly changing. Yet, what is the use of a body that is getting better if my head is still filled with fear? The shock of that trauma made the doorknob out there look like a monster ready to pounce on me.My throat felt dry, matching the water supply in the apartment that had long since vanished. This morning, I was forced to show myself out there. I grabbed my favorite thick hoodie, pulling its hood down as tightly as possible in order to hide the remnants of the bruises still adorming my neck—a painful reminder. Hesitation momentarily held my steps at the threshold, but thirst and necessity urged me to quickly lock the door and leave the room.Before my foot could fully touch the corridor,
I dragged my steps out of the hotel lobby door with such a heavy burden. The scorching morning sunlight felt like sharp needles stabbing my skin—my body still retaining aches and a disgusting sticky feeling. The gazes of people on the sidewalk felt judgmental, as if every pair of eyes was stripping me bare with disgust. I lost the courage to even look up for a single second. All the way to the bus stop, my chin was locked tightly against my chest. Tears finally broke, wetting my dirty cheeks, while I tried desperately to stem the sob pressing at my chest—holding back this devastation from spilling over completely in the middle of the crowd.With the remnants of my remaining energy, I forced my body through the apartment door. The clicking sound of the turning key became the boundary between me and the outside world. Unable to walk any further, I dragged myself to the bathroom and let my body collapse onto the floor. As the cold water poured down, my defenses crumbled; the tears I had
The thick darkness of the night plunged my consciousness into emptiness. Amidst that ignorance, my senses captured only one thing: the wild vibration of a car engine speeding forward relentlessly. Pain throbbed intensely in my head, my eyes felt so heavy to blink, while my body was weak and helpless as if boneless. This long journey felt eternal, torturous, until that roar slowly died down and the car finally stopped.A rough wrench opened the car door, followed by a strong pull on my arm forcing me out from the back seat. "Where is Reid? I want to meet..." I whimpered, the words slipping out just like that without control. The effect of alcohol made my world blurry and fragile, making my legs surrender to gravity. Amidst my weakness, that stranger caught my body, carrying me into the cold building. Vaguely amidst my thinning consciousness, I heard the sound of buttons and the friction of the elevator door taking us away from the ground floor.The elevator brought us to the silence of
