ASHER**I sat at the poolside lost in so much thought. What does Timothy's mother know? and how do I get her to talk? she's clearly push me out already, coming back will just make me look like a nuisance.My phone rang dragging me out of my thoughts, it was Sebastian, I picked it up."Hey", I said."What are you doing all alone there?", he asked.I looked up and saw him at his window looking at me.I smiled."Just tryna process things", I said."Come here", he said in the exact calm soothing voice I needed to hear.I cut the call and stood up and went Into the house and to his room.My face broke into a smile the very moment I saw him, that's how he makes me feel. He was shirtless, he just had a grey sweat pant on and some socks.He bided me to come into his arms. I did."What's wrong?", he asked stroking my hair."I think Timothy's mother knows what happened to my brother", I said."How? Timothy didn't say anything about it"."We asked her about it and she started fidgeting and avo
SEBASTIAN * * I had a habit of coming for events and meeting few minutes to closing, today I tried to be different by coming early and regretted it. Cuz tell me why a 3 hours meeting because 6 hours! These people are so Immature, they kept arguing back and forth about who was getting the bigger share and who wasn't. Well me? I just sat there staring at Asher all through it. He was standing at the door the entire time, for 6 hours straight. I signalled him many times to leave and rest but he refused, so I decided to help myself enjoying his view. Everytime our eyes met he'd look away and try to bury the smile that crawled on his lips. Asher was a very Handsome man, I've never seen a blonde this attractive. He's just too attractive. "Mr Greenwood what do you suggest?", someone asked dragging me out of my day dream. "Hhm?", I asked so lost. "Concerning what we've been talking about, what do you suggest?", I looked at the time, it was 27 minutes past 6pm . "I suggest we all
He didn't kiss me immediately, he took three seconds to process before he kissed me back.He was taller than me a little. But I didn't care, I pinned him on the door.My hands went to his shirt and took it off. I pulled him to the bed.I pinned his both hands above his head and sat on him, kissing him everywhere. From his lips to his neck to his chest to his tummy and everywhere."Sebastian, yo man where are you?"What the fuck, Timothy?Asher got up and got into the bathroom."I'm here", I said throwing the sheets over my body.Timothy then opened the door."Hey man what you doing? I thought you said you were going for a party?", I asked trying hard to act normal. But u can't cuz I'm fully erected under this sheet."Yeah they cancelled, decided to head home, why are you looking like that?".", Like what?"."What were you doing before I came in?", he asked."I was...I was uhm... I was masturbating".His face turned into pure disgust, "Eww man I did not have to hear here, go get a bitc
SEBASTIAN ***Asher was still in my bed when I woke up, which was unusual cuz he'd disappear before I even wake up.But I was glad he was.I stared at his face while he slept. He was so gorgeous.His hair was scattered all over his face making it messy and sexy at the same time. I kissed his nose.He stirred a little and then his eyes opened slowly. The reflection of the early morning sun was on his face, it reflected on his eyes making them sparkle."What are you staring at?", he mumbled smiling "You", I said brushing the hair off his face."Oh shit it's morning already", he said attempting to get up.I pulled him back, "Stay", I said."Timothy could -"."I don't care, I want to spend my morning time with you", I said pulling him into my check.His body suddenly relaxed,"Okay", he said.I started stroking his hair and then his back."Why don't you have tattoos?", I asked."What?"."You're like the first hot guy I've ever seen without tatts", I said.He looked up at me smiling, "O
SEBASTIAN ***I went back to New York and from the very day, a lot of things changed.As usual, I moved straight from the airport to work and you won't believe who was in my office.My Dad.With my mother."Hi Dad", I said trying to act very causal."Both of you left the company for 5 days, I thought it was agreed to be three days only?", he asked."We couldn't come up with anything useful in the first meeting, so we had to stay back and re strategize sir", Timothy said."And you left the company in whose hands?", he asked."Anthony of course, who else?"."Anthony that was arrested last night?"."What?", Timothy and I asked in union."Why do the fuck do you think I'm here today?"."What did he do?", I asked."Allegedly handling drugs, thank God it didn't make it to the news, had to call in some favours"."So where's he now?", I asked."He's on his way, I don't understand you boys anymore. You have a meeting for three days and you spend five, the person you leave in charge is out wa
By the time we got to the hospital, they've already admitted him. My mom was in the Lobby crying. I ran to hold her."Mon relax, he's going to be fine".She didn't listen, she just kept on crying and we had to keep comforting her and after a while she stopped and stayed in my arms sobbing.The doctor came out some minutes later."Please I'd like to see you all in my office", The doctor said.We owned two hospitals. The one we built ourselves and the one we owned in wing in. The one my dad use to come for medications for was the other one.We went to his office."Mr Greenwood is stable, he just had a partial stroke but he'll be fine. But there's something we're discovering, something we never knew, we don't know if you knew about it", he said."What's that?", I asked."Mr Greenwood has Cancer, Leukemia to be very specific ".I looked at my mom, she had no shock on her face. Just sadness."Mom, did you hear that? he said Dad has Cancer ".She nodded slowly, "I already knew "."What?", I
SEBASTIAN ***The past 24 hours has been hell. I haven't left that hospital.They took Camille and the baby to the mortuary, he wanted her buried that same day but my mother refused saying she deserves a good befitting funeral.My mother passed out some hours later from shock and everything. It was just too much on her.My father is dying soon, she just lost her grandchild and the mother. It was too much on her.I asked that they keep her unconscious for a while longer because she needed to rest while we put things in order.Anthony was emotionally wrecked, he's blaming everyone for this happening. Her not having enough security on her, her not being brought in by the ambulance but the driver, he's in his worse mood and I can't even blame him, I'll loose my mind if my wife and child dies.They increased the reward for bringing Richards alive to $100,000.Any one who finds him and brings him alive will get 100k$Everything was just going so fast I didn't know how to handle it. I su
I don't know how long I stayed in the shower, but it was long enough for Asher to get worried and check up on me if I was okay. The realization was just hitting me, I'm the first born and I'm the one to start taking responsibilities, and if my Dad died, I'm fucken responsible for everything. No wonder Dad's stressing over everything. I'm not ready for any of that shit . I'm not at all. I got out of the bathroom and got dressed. I got out a while later and strolled downstairs. Asher was waiting for me downstairs. "I made breakfast, told the cook I'd handle it". "It's fine I'm not hungry, let's go". He shook his head, " You haven't eaten in more than 24 hours and I can't let you stay any longer, just eat something, please". I sighed and sat down, I ate a slice of pancake and then some bacon. I had zero appetite. I was just forcing myself to do this. I stood up, "Let's go", I said. He pulled me back and then hugged me. My body suddenly relaxed and I hugged him back. I needed
ASHER * * Whenever I go through a bad break-up, there's usually three things that comes in mind to do. 1) Crash out. Just cry and listen to Olivia Rodrigo and ghost everyone for weeks 2) Drink till stupor. 3) Fuck I took the third option. Now there's something called Sober sex, you fuck the closest person around when you're sad, depressed or angry. I don't want to crash out, and I don't want to drink... sex is the only option left. And I chose someone I think I should have fucked a long time ago, probably to get it out of my system. I knocked on his door. He looked surprised to see me. "Hey, what's up?". "Do you want to fuck me?", I asked. He seemed taken aback. "Huh?" "Do you want to have sex with me?". "I...I don't know, why are you even asking that.. is this like a test or?". "Yes or no before I change my mind!". "Uhm, sure", he said. I pushed him inside his house and smashed my lips on his. Emotionlessly. This has to be the most emotionlessly kiss I've had
ASHER**I was first awoken with a splitting headache, and then the sudden realization of everything that happened last night.Fuck!What have I done?I pulled myself up from the ground. I passed out in the kitchen after ordering a crate if beer and finishing it.I stood up, my sight still wavy. I went into the bathroom and stripped and then sat directly under the shower for straight 30 minutes, trying to organize my thoughts.Did Sebastian break up with me? He didn't say we were over, I don't remember him saying we were doneThis is a break right? we're just on break, we're going to be fine... right?I can't Believe I told him to leave last night!I can't loose him, fuck I'm so scared, I'm literally shaking.What is my life going to be like without him? I've subconsciously built my entire day with him in it! physically or over the phone, he's literally the only thing that makes sense right now!How stupid could I be?I can't loose him, no no I can't, I can't do that!I immediately
"Asher look, Timothy is... stressed, pissed and confused okay? how are you gonna react if see some evidences that point out that your mother killed your father? someone you trust so much with your entire life, and then watch her crash out for accusing her of something like that?"."Accused? of course I'll break a bottle over someone's head. See clear evidences and still live in denial? no I won't".I sighed and ran my hands through my head."Okay I'm sorry okay, but I don't know what to say or do right now, because everyone is messy right now, and I don't know okay? who do you want me to believe? I don't know who to believe"."Do you believe me?"."Of course I do, I was with you all through last week, plus why would you even do any of that"."What if I wasn't with you? what if I was here in New York, will you still Believe them?"."Where is any of this driving at Asher?"."Your entire family hates me! they think I'm trying to sabotage whatever shit they've been hiding for years, they
SEBASTIAN **If you think the night was over? you're wrong because it only just started."What are we gonna do?", Timothy asked."Do you believe them?", I asked."They're lying about something obviously, but the thing is, what?"."You think we should do a DNA test?", I asked."I know it's already going to come out positive, I don't think they're lying about that one... I just don't want Sebastian, I'm scared, I'm confused I'm... we should have just moved on from the whole thing, I'm a mess right now and I just need to go home", he said grabbing his jacket."I have to go and talk to Asher"."Why is he getting upset?"."Because your mom was making everything look like it was his fault, like he's some crazy mastermind behind the whole thing"."What if -", he immediately retrieved his words."What if what? Timothy are you serious right now? Asher didn't even want to get involved, don't you remember we begged him to help us out? you begged him?", I asked getting pissed."I'm sorry but I
There was silence in the room for like 20 seconds."The other day when I came to your house, Nona told me to stop whatever it was that I came there to do and go. I asked her what she meant and she said she knew why I was there, and it was going to get me killed.She knew, I asked her to tell me everything she knew and she said she took a blood oath, she's religious I see, and she couldn't tell me anything. she said if she ever told anyone about anything she would die.I believe this recording was from her, and since she told us about it, she died", Asher said calmly."Well the recording is fake!"."So you mean to tell me Belinda, that all this just Happens to be a coincidence? So Apparently Sebastian was a miracle baby, a cryptic pregnancy, you had no evidence that you were carrying Timothy in your womb, the birth certificate in Graceville hospital was faked because you had to lie that he was your second child to save yourself. The picture that was dated on Sebastian's day of birth on
I went to where we kept the other copy and gave it to her. She opened the book"1996, that's when you were born right? here see this is me and him in the picture, at Sixties Club, you can see it's past midnight, everywhere is dark and you can see how drunk your father is. I was there with him the whole night ".I sat back on my chair."Who sent you this is what I'm interested in, because if we know who? we can know who killed him! the person probably did a good job changing our voices "."I don't still believe you ", Asher said."The distance from my house, to that lake where his body was found will take you over an hour, and this is what? 15 minutes drive? that's impossible!"."She's right, that lake is at the other side of town, which is why it's confusing why he used that road to the hospital, we thought maybe they decided to hide his body far away ", Timothy mumbled."So wait let me get this straight, because it's not sounding funny anymore. So you think that I , not only kidnappe
"You all of the sudden have no proof whatsoever that you were carrying a baby all the while?", Asher asked."I don't know, it's been years really, never really thought about keeping pictures and all you know, but probably there is somewhere", Belinda said."So why is this birth certificate of Sebastian dated on the day he was born, in Graceville hospital?", Asher asked."And you mentioned that Belinda was in Germany the day I was born, how come she's here? in this picture, on the day I was born?", Sebastian asked."This isn't on the day you were born, this was 5 days after, I remember, it was My husband that took the picture, Greenwood was no where to be found, we have more of those at home, the dating was probably wrong, but I remember when we took that photo", Belinda said."Then why are you in your nursing uniform? all dressed up like you came out of the operation room?", Asher asked."I'm a nurse, duhh. I came from work to the hospital you were born that morning, my husband came i
Sebastian **The table held so much unseen tension, both my mother and that of Timothy talked and laughed happily, talking about their old days and their friendship. They brought us Into their conversation once or twice but we replied coldly.There was just too much tension."Are you boys okay? you've been very dull today", my mother asked politely."It's.. it's work, been really stressful recently on us", I said."I understand, it's a pity", she said."Indeed, the company is a lot, I'm really proud of both of you for doing so well, even better than that old hag", Belinda said."Grateful to God he's gone and we can see our sons real potentials, can you imagine he was going to give it to that outcast Landon?", My mother said."I know you disliked him but I didn't think I'd see you so happy that he's dead", Belinda said."I'm more than happy, you have no idea, Widowhood has never felt so good", she said."I wish I was this less of pain when I lost my husband", Belinda said faking sadn
SEBASTIAN **"What?", Asher asked in shock "That was... that was my Dad.. my Dad... they were the one that threw him into that lake, they lied... they lied he died on his way to come see me... but they were the one who threw his body there", Timothy was shaking when he was explaining it, I could see him fighting tears."They killed his", he finally said."Who sent you this?", I asked.He shrugged, "I don't know"."I think it's Nona, because she was there, you heard them call her, what if she was recording it, and she had it with her for years", I said."But why is she only bringing it out today? after so many years why now?", Asher asked."We should ask her"."She still won't say anything, blood covenant remember?."I don't believe in that shit", Timothy said."Well she does, you know all these religious people, the things they believe works for them and if she took a blood oath she actually can't tell us", Asher said."So what do we do?", Timothy asked after we went silent."We co
