ASHER * * I was a week off. I told Sebastian I wasn't going to let him walk around like that and he assured me that security was tighter now. I did check up on him everyday. One day I was at the Garden when Timothy came around to pick up some things from Sebastian's room. I went to meet him. "Hey Asher, how are you feeling?",he asked. "I'm a lot better, thank you", I said. He attempted to leave but then I stopped him. "Sorry but uhm, just wanted to check in... I ...I know it's a lot for you right now I understand that, I just wanted to remind you about your mom and the whole Graceville thing", I said. "Oh right, my mom's not talking but, here's her card, it has her office address. You can go and see her, try and get the truth out of her", he said. "What if she doesn't want to talk?". "Well at least you've tried, she's the only one I know that worked there, and it's going to be a lot harder finding someone else, just give it a shot", he said. I nodded, "Thank I sir", I
ASHER **The very moment I got home, I took off my clothes and hit the gym.Sebastian has a gym at the basement, he turned it into a gym. He doesn't really use it so I go there most times. I was so frustrated and pissed. I went straight to the punching bag and put my gloves on.I put a headset over my ears and started punching the bag.Consistently.Over and over again, not taking a break for even a second. I was loosing it.Fuck why is everything in my life going so wrong? the only thing that's making sense right now is Sebastian, nothing else seems to be working.I don't even know what to do right now? give up or keep pushing?Belinda is right, what the fuck am I going to do when I find him? Yeah I tell him he's my brother, what's next then?Why go and ruin a perfect family? cause complications? make things more difficult for them? "Hey hey hey that's enough", Sebastian said pulling me from the punching bag .I pulled away from him and walked over to the other side of the room a
He was joking, he just had to be joking. There was no way he was gonna have a sex party at his house, right?"You're teasing me now aren't you?", I asked.He shrugged and then stood up from the chair and went to greet Rebecca, he kissed her cheek."The woman that dumped me", he asked."My ex fiance", she said."Fancy seeing you here"."Stephanie invited us"."How's your parent? any word from them?", he asked."My mom's been keeping in touch, My Dad will probably die sad", she said."Awwn I'm so happy for you, Beatrice", he said and kissed her on her on her cheeks.I started feeling very awkward, this wasn't my space.I left quietly back to my room. I started this series some days ago, decided to finish it up.About 3 hour later my door opened. It was Sebastian."Hey", I said sitting up."Why'd you leave?"."What would I be doing there? that'll be awkward", I said.He came and crashed on me."Well I wanted you there", he said."Aren't they going to find you?", I asked noticing how co
"Just so you know, you scream a lot and you're loud as fuck".He chuckled,"I don't care, I want you"."Wear your clothes back on Mr Greenwood, and go and be with your friends, you can come back when they're gone", I was going to the bathroom to clean up.I came back and he was still lying down there. "Sebastian", I said tapping him but he looked sleepy."Can you turn off the lights and come sleep with me, please?".I so love his drunk state, he's so cute and vulnerable."What if they -"."I really don't care right now, come on, I want to cuddle", he said.I can't believe I'm more concerned about him getting caught and I'm the one that's out of the closet.I went to kill the lights and then went to him and laid beside him, cuddling him into a spoon, I wrapped the duvet over his nude body. His body suddenly relaxed. "I want to show you off so bad", he mumbled sleepy."You don't have to, I like this, it's peaceful", I said.Maybe that was a little bit of a lie. But it had to be the tr
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in and then released it.Then I went to the floor and picked up the files and dropped them on Sebastian's table."Asher", the bastard man who is to be called my father called me."Excuse me sir", I said to Sebastian and tried to leave.The bastard man pulled my hands Oh God help me not to snap and kill somebody today."Asher it's me, it's your Dad", he said.I looked at him dead in the eyes "I don't want to jail for murder or attempted murder or manslaughter, so please take your hands off me", I said in the most calm voice as possible."What are you talking about? it's me, it's your Dad", he said again like I didn't hear him the first time."I do not have a father", I said and walked out of the office, far far away from them.I went to Lucy's office, she was packing up."Hey what's up?", she asked."My father's in Mr Greenwood's office", I said trying to calm myself down."Your father?", she asked shocked."Yes"."Wait, the motherfucker that r
I spent the last 20 minutes listen to Georgia talk about her and her supposed perfect family and how the bastard is the perfect husband. I was boiling, boiling so badly but I had to keep my cool because this was Sebastian's client too, I can't ruin this for him."So tell me, how did you meet Mr Peterson?", Sebastian asked."Oh we met at a Charity banquet in LA, it was like love at first sight, he recently moved there after he had lost his wife and son-"I coughed, so loudly it interrupted her.I apologized and she continued. You could see the bastards hands shaking, visibly shaking."You lost your first wife? I'm so sorry about that, what happened?", Sebastian asked, he knew what he was doing; torturing him with his own words."We were married for two, she had an accident and died with my son ", he said."My condolences ", Sebastian said."Thank you"."Guess everything works for good, would have never met him and have the best husband ever", she said so cheerful."Your bodyguard shoul
"I was just talking to my new friend", the little boy said."You can talk to him later okay? it's cold, go inside and I'll meet you in a minute", he said and the little boy jogged away leaving me alone with him."So... you leave us and marry a rich woman and you're living the life right?", I asked him."Asher, Asher I'm sorry, I'm sorry for -""What the fuck are you apologizing for? you think I'm here cuz I wanted a fucken apology? you think you're fucken apologize is gonna fix anything?", I asked my voice rising."Please please keep your voice down", he begged."Why? so your perfect wife won't know you had a fucken family that you stole from and abandoned. The one who allegedly died in an accident?", I yelled."Asher I promise you, I was in a bad place that time, I was a terrible father, I really was and I'm sorry, I promise you I'm changed, I'm not that man from years ago , I'm so sorry I was the way I was, I'm sorry for being toxic and I know that nothing I can do can change the pa
ASHER * * I've probably lost my job, hell I have lost my job. Haven't been home in 3 days, switched my phone off so I was unreachable. I was filled with so much negative emotions, I can't even believe the thought of murder comes to my mind once in a while. Right now I wasn't Asher, I was a different person, and there was no way I was gonna be this person in front of Sebastian, I've ruined our relationship already, nothing was ever going to be the same way now. But I had a life to put together, so yeah I was gonna have to put that aside. I walked into a very familiar health care center. For the first time I didn't feel that knot in my stomach or the will to cry or breakdown emotionally, I had just one will; Find my brother. Who cares if I ruin a happy family? I don't. "Mrs Belinda", I told Rose coldly. "Good to see you too", she said noticing how off I was. "Tell her I want to see her", I said. "Uhm, okay", she said and then left and came back minutes later. "She's availa
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
