Noah was back from his overseas trip, and as soon as Aiden saw him, he hugged him so tightly as if he feared losing him if he let go."Awww!! Did you miss me so much?" Noah asked, nudging Aiden on his face."Yes," Aiden said and tightened his grip."I missed you too. Can't you skip office today?"Aiden hoped he could skip office not only for a day but quit entirely, but that was not possible. Also, if he didn't show up at the office, what if Dylan came home looking for him? He couldn't risk that. "Sorry. I have to go," Aiden said sadly."But I didn't see you for a week," Noah pouted."I will try to come home soon," Aiden said and convinced Noah.On the other hand, Dylan was thinking about his next plan of action. He was not someone who would accept defeat so easily. Aiden thought that Dylan couldn't control everything, but Dylan was determined to show him that he could still control whatever he wanted, especially Aiden and his life. Anything was possible if you had money and power.Dy

Reader discretion is advised.Aiden picked up the call from an unknown number and heard the person say, " Come to my office now," and hang up. He recognized the authoritative tone too well and got up from his seat to go to Dylan's office. Aiden didn't expect much from his conversation with Dylan, but he wanted to know what Dylan actually wanted from him. Dylan was sitting on his seat staring outside the window when Aiden entered his office. " Why did you want to meet me?" Dylan asked, still not looking at Aiden." D-Did you meet Noah's father?" Aiden asked." Yes."" Why?"" Don't you know why?" Dylan asked, looking at Aiden from the corner of his eye." I-I can't understand what you would achieve by talking to Noah's father. "" You didn't agree to leave him. So I had to take another route."" I-It's my personal matter. Y-You..." Aiden wanted to say not to interfere but stoppe
The following day Aiden called Dylan again. " I-I want to meet you."" I knew you would," Dylan smirked." Come to my office."" C-Can we meet somewhere else?" Aiden asked reluctantly as he didn't want to be alone with Dylan." Are you kidding me?" Dylan spat. " Come right now," he said and hung up.Aiden didn't want to meet Dylan alone, but he had to go for Noah's sake. Finally, gathering up his courage, he hesitantly walked towards Dylan's office. The receptionist he had met the last time was replaced by someone else, and this lady seemed too polite. She personally escorted Aiden to Dylan's office even though he refused multiple times. He felt awkward and wondered what was going on.Dylan was on his phone and indicated Aiden to wait. Aiden took his time to observe Dylan's office for the first time. It was simple yet elegant. A dark-walnut bookcase lined the entire left-hand wall. The window was big and gave a spectacular view of the city." So, what did you decide?" Dylan asked, maki

Reader discretion is advised.Aiden and Noah hardly got any sleep at night. Noah had gone completely silent and just hugged Aiden tightly, thinking the worst. Noah was not at home when Aiden woke up the following morning, and even his phone was switched off. Aiden realized Noah didn't want to see him leave, so he was not here at the moment. Aiden packed his luggage with a heavy heart, praying and hoping he would return here soon, and also didn't take half of his things so that Noah didn't feel completely abandoned by him.Meanwhile, Dylan was feeling irritated, but he didn't know why. He was particularly harsh with his employees and walked around with a chip on his shoulder. Everyone tried to steer clear of him, observing his sour mood.Before lunch, Dylan approached Aiden's desk and ordered him to join him for lunch. Dylan's girlfriend Natalie was with

Reader discretion is advised.Aiden was in the car with Dylan on the way to the penthouse. Dylan was quiet the whole way, and Aiden found his silence even more scary. He recalled Dylan's threat he received at the restaurant and shuddered at the consequences. The penthouse Dylan had was screaming luxury. It had high ceilings and large ceiling windows that allowed light to flood in and create an illusion of more room. It was fitted with premium appliances and hardware that elevated the space. The view through the window was the best Aiden had ever seen. This would be his favorite spot in the penthouse." Do you like it?" Dylan asked, staring at Aiden, who was looking at the scenic view. He somehow felt peaceful seeing Aiden at his home. It felt as if Aiden belonged here. Aiden was surprised at the unexpected question. " It's beautiful."" Way better than
Dylan threw away the paperweight in anger. Noah's question, ' Are you in love with him?' was ringing in his head like a broken record. Over the past few days, he has been thinking about this question, and it appears that he can no longer lie to himself. Though he was unsure if it was love, he had to accept that he had some possessive feelings for Aiden. Also, he was utterly convinced that he couldn't see Aiden with anybody else. The thought itself caused an undescribable rage within him. But could he be in a relationship with Aiden? Obviously not. What would happen to his reputation if people saw him dating a guy? He would be a laughing stock. He thought of the times he had bullied various people for being gay and couldn't imagine others ridiculing him for the same. Why the f**k was this happening to him? Seems like his karma was hitting him hard. To avoid this situation, Dylan had to act fast. Now that Aiden was staying in his penthouse, he just had to make sure Aiden stayed away f

Reader discretion is advised.Dylan caught Noah off-guard when he suddenly attacked him from behind. Dylan was in so much rage that he wanted to kill Noah at this moment. He was the reason for all his problems.Everything had been going so well according to plan. Dylan had struggled for the past few years and worked his ass off to get complete control over the Company. He just had to fit Aiden into his life the same way he was in his teen years, and everything would be perfect. But his plan was ruined by Noah. Not only had he changed Aiden, he even had the audacity to suggest Aiden leave Dylan and stay with him. How dare he?At that thought, Dylan saw red and began continuously punching Noah in his face.Aiden was shocked when he saw Dylan beating Noah. His body seemed to be paralyzed with fear. He badly wanted to stop Dylan, but this aggressive version
Warning: This chapter contains non-consensual scenes. Please proceed with caution.Aiden was at the hospital while Noah was taken for scanning. Noah's parents arrived at that moment, looking concerned." What happened?" Noah's mom Amelia asked Aiden in panic." Nothing to worry about; it's just a few bruises," Aiden tried to assure her." But how did it happen?" Aiden was hesitant to reply." Please tell me," Noah's dad Daryl insisted." N-Noah had a fight."" What?" Daryl and Amelia were shocked. " He is not someone to start a fight."" I beat him up."Aiden flinched when he heard the voice from behind. " You?" Daryl asked angrily. " What is the meaning of this?"" Didn't I warn you to keep your son away from Aiden?" Dylan sneered." What the hell is going on?" Amelia asked, looking from Daryl to Aiden." Why did you hit my son? I will report you," Daryl threatened." You can try," Dylan said indifferently." P-Please stop," Aiden pleaded with Dylan." Then come with me," Dylan sai
