Levy Hart sat by the armchair in the living room, his expression a deadly one.

His two men stood before him, with their heads bowed to the ground.

They had searched everywhere possible they could find Trudy, but to no avail. Even last night, they hadn't gotten any sleep.

And here they were, tired and restless.

“That only means one thing,” Levy Hart stated as he stared into the thin air. “That boy lied to us. And we believed him.” A wicked smirk appeared at the side of his lips, “How dare he? He has absolutely no idea who he's messing with.”

Just then, the head maid scurried over to where he sat, her hand clasped in front of her.

“Mr Hart,” She called slowly.

“What is it?” He snapped. “Pardon my intrusion but you have visitors.”

Levy frowned, “Visitors? Which visitors.”

The maid hesitated, “Um… it's the police, sir.”

Levy quickly snapped his head to stare at the woman, “The police?”

“Yes, sir.”

What could the police possibly want from him? He wondered in curiosity.

“Well, let them in.”

    Four Lovely Years Later “I swear to God, Mary, if we miss this wedding, I'm never gonna forgive you!” Anthony growled through gritted teeth, “For how long are you gonna do your makeup for God's sake?!” “Oh, please!” Mary waved him off with a slight roll of her eyes, “Let a woman wear her makeup in peace. Besides, we still have like an hour before the event begins, and also, Megan is there. She'll probably be recording the entire thing on her phone, so even if we miss it, we'll watch it on her phone.” “I want to be there, Mary,” Anthony said, “I don't want to watch my son's wedding through some phone screen.” “Then exercise some patience,” Mary said, applying some lip gloss on her lips, smacking them and then pouting. She scrutinized her already-styled hair through the mirror and then turned. “I feel like the hair is not that, you know, well styled.” She turned to Anthony, “What do you think?” Anthony knew that if he said just one wrong thing, she might spend another whole hou

  • Closeted Desires    Will You Marry Me?

    The two stepped down from the car and walked towards the cabin after Luke locked the car.They reached the cabin and Luke unlocked the door with a key he fished out from his pocket, then opened it for Liam and stood by the side, gesturing him to enter.Liam entered and glanced around the place, wide-eyed.The scent of pine, cinnamon, and something sweet in the oven drifted through the warm air. The inside was small but inviting… wooden walls, soft lighting, and a fire crackling lazily in the stone hearth.A Christmas tree stood proudly in the corner, dressed in red and gold, with a scattering of wrapped presents tucked beneath its branches.Garlands laced the mantel, dotted with tiny lights and sprigs of holly, and stockings hung loosely beneath a framed photo of the sea. A wool blanket was thrown over the arm of the couch, and a tray with two mugs of cocoa waited on the coffee table, still steaming. The room felt lived-in, but not cluttered. Just... right. Like warmth made visible.L

  • Closeted Desires    Surprise!

    It was the night of Christmas Eve and Megan stood at the bottom of the stairs with arms folded across her bosom as she stared at the treeless living room.This was the first Christmas that they had had that the family hadn't bought any tree, not to talk of the decorations around the house.Those things were unimportant at the moment.Since that day, Liam came out to his parents, this home suddenly became a house.No one talked to each other, no one asked questions… they just co-existed.Megan would often hear her Mom sobbing silently in the corner of the house and she couldn't even bring herself to comfort her.And Anthony on the other hand acted as though nothing happened… as though Liam was really dead.She sighed.Is this what Kelly and her family went through her Luke was outed? She thought to herself. This is so horrible.She wondered if they would be having Christmas Eve dinner as Mary hadn't even come downstairs to cook.She has been the one calling Liam and coward and pesterin

  • Closeted Desires    Christmas Eve

    After breakfast was done, Liam returned to Luke's room to relax while Luke stayed back and helped his mom clean up the table.Liam plugged in his ear plug and listened to some Christmas songs on his phone with a bittersweet feeling.He has always celebrated Christmas with his family, but he knew for certain that this Christmas wouldn't be celebrated with them.He wondered how Megan was doing so he decided to send a text.But no reply came.Knowing how extreme his father was, he must have done something to her phone.He sighed helplessly but he wasn't feeling lost nor that sad… he had Luke and his family.He decided to use this time to think about what he would be doing with his life if Luke returned to college next year.Just in the middle of his thoughts, a knock came through the door and he quickly paused the song to make sure he wasn't imagining it.But when the knock came again, he got to his feet and opened the door.To his surprise, Kelly was standing before the door.“Oh!” He s

    “You okay?” Luke asked slowly, stroking some strands of hair off of Liam's face.Liam smiled and nodded, “Mhm hmm.”But the smile didn't reach his eyes.They were cuddling tenderly on the bed.“You know, you don't have to pretend you're okay when you're not.” Luke said, gently caressing his face, “I’m here for you.”“So this is what you went through alone?” Liam asked.“Hmm?”“Two years ago, when I abandoned you just to save my head,” Liam stated, “I imagine you were feeling a lot worse than I am feeling now. I'm sorry, Babe.”“Hey, we've gotten over that since for a long while now.”“But… I still feel bad,” Liam persisted, “I came out on my own time when I was ready, but you? You were…”“Okay, since you're feeling bad, I feel bad too,” Luke pouted.“For what?”“Because of me, your basketball dream came to an end. The dream you've had since we were kids. You threw it all away, and risked your life too, just to save me, what if something terrifying had happened to you? Huh?” Luke asked

    Megan hesitated, “Mom, you okay?”Mary sniffed and wiped the tears in her eyes, and then returned to cooking breakfast.“You know all along, didn't you?” Mary asked in a wavering voice, then turned to face her, “That's why you and Kelly broke up your friendship. That's why…” She broke off and burst into tears, “You've always known! How could you not tell me?! How could you?!”“I'm sorry Mom,” Megan said apologetically, “It wasn't my place to tell and…”“And what, Megan? And what? Your brother is a homosexual!” Mary said amidst tears, “You should have told us sooner so we could find a cure…”“There is no cure Mom!” Megan interrupted sharply, “Because it isn't some kind of sickness that needs curing! Being gay is completely normal! It's natural!”“You're out of your goddamn mind!” Mary gritted. “You're here spewing nonsense!”“No, I'm not!” Megan defended, “Liam is happy where he is right now! Can't you guys just be happy for him? Hmm?”Anthony aggressively walked into the kitchen and s
