Morning sunlight burned through the tall windows of the Musk estate, casting long, angular lines across the polished floors. Sudan had already been awake for hours, moving silently through the house, his presence barely registering as he tracked the subtle shifts in staff routines. Every movement, every habit, every flaw in the house’s defenses was catalogued with careful precision.

It was quiet, too quiet.

Mary was nowhere to be found. Bask had retreated into his study early that morning, sealing himself away and leaving the house suspended in an uneasy stillness. Zach wandered the gardens beyond the windows, humming softly to himself, utterly unaware of the storm being assembled around him, brick by invisible brick.

Sudan drifted toward the dining room, pretending to straighten chairs while his mind worked relentlessly. The unlocked side cabinet. The windows in the east wing that never latched properly. The security guard who lingered too long during his rounds, who always looked aw

  • Fifty Shades Of Him   Chapter 42

    Bask had always known how to read people. It was why he built an empire from nothing. Why people feared him. Why betrayal rarely slipped past his guard.But Sudan Flair… That boy had been a puzzle from the moment he stepped into his home.Bask had watched him closely every glance, every weighted sentence, every calculated pause. Sudan moved like someone who expected to be hunted. Someone who carried ghosts in his pockets and kept knives behind his teeth. Someone who had something to hide.And that morning, as Zach walked beside him toward the study, Bask knew the shape of the truth was finally within reach. A thread dangled just barely, waiting to be pulled.He didn’t speak until they entered the room and closed the door. Zach sat nervously, fingers twisting. “Dad… what’s this about?”Bask didn’t answer. He walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the file he’d found at dawn after hours of digging, calling old contacts, pulling favors he rarely used.The file he never expe

    Zach didn’t sleep that night. He lay awake long after the house went quiet, staring at the ceiling, replaying breakfast, replaying Sudan’s face in the hallway, replaying the silence that now stretched between them like an ocean. His heart ached in a way he didn’t have language for. Because he loved him. Because he feared him. Because he didn’t recognize him. Somehow, all three were true.By morning, Zach felt hollowed out, brittle around the edges. He moved through the house quietly, avoiding the parts of the mansion where he might run into his parents. He just needed… space. A little air to breathe, to gather himself, to find some version of clarity. He ended up outside.The winter sun was weak, barely cutting through the frost on the lawn. Cold bit into his skin, but it felt grounding, real, unlike the emotional fog choking him inside. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his hoodie and walked the long stone path leading toward the greenhouse. He wasn’t expecting to find Sudan

  • Fifty Shades Of Him   Chapter 40

    Sudan noticed immediately that something was different about Bask that morning.It wasn’t over, he didn’t growl, didn’t bark orders, didn’t try to control the room but there was a subtle shift, a predatory precision in the way he moved through the house, spoke to staff, even glanced at him.Bask was testing him. He didn’t flinch. He couldn’t. Every nerve in his body was on edge, a constant hum of tension, but Sudan knew how to play his own game. He would observe. He would manipulate. But he would have to be even more careful now. The chessboard had changed.Breakfast was quiet. Zach sat across from him, untouched eggs barely on his plate, eyes flicking nervously between Sudan and his parents. Sudan could feel the tension radiating off him, and he had to admit it stung to see the hurt there, the confusion. He had planted that seed deliberately at the dinner table, and it had grown faster than he’d anticipated.Mary moved like a ghost around the table, avoiding his gaze, serving coffe

  • Fifty Shades Of Him   Chapter 39

    The morning after dinner, Bask woke early, as he always did. The lake was shrouded in mist, the air crisp, almost biting, and he stood at the edge of the dock, watching the water ripple gently in the rising sun. The serenity was a lie, of course. Nothing in this house or this family was serene anymore. Not with Sudan here.He had thought carefully overnight. Every word, every glance, every hesitation at dinner had been a test. And the results were clear.Sudan was not just clever, he was deliberate. He had stirred the household, provoked Zach, unnerved Mary. And yet, Bask could see it too. Sudan was careful. Strategic. Never reckless. He would act, but only when he could measure the consequences. That meant he was dangerous.Bask turned, walking back to the house with long, deliberate strides. He entered the kitchen where Mary stood quietly, her hands wrapped around a mug of coffee, the steam blurring the lines of her tension-filled face.“Bask,” she said softly, voice trembling. “I

  • Fifty Shades Of Him   Chapter 38

    Bask Musk sat back in his chair, swirling the glass of deep red wine in his hand. The restaurant’s dim lighting cast soft shadows across the table, the flicker of candlelight catching on the rim of his glass. Outside, the lake reflected the fading sunset in fractured shards, mirroring the unease churning inside him.He had been watching. From the very moment Sudan had joined them, Bask had felt something… off. Something that made him tighten his jaw and straighten in his seat, even as his wife tried to keep her composure beside him. And tonight, it had come to a head.That boy had slipped into their lives with the ease of someone who already knew how to navigate it. He smiled when smiles were expected, nodded when politeness demanded, laughed at the right moments. But beneath it all… there was something darker. Calculated. Dangerous.Bask’s eyes drifted over to Mary, sitting stiffly, hands trembling slightly as she dabbed at the corners of her eyes. Her perfect composure, usually

    Dinner was supposed to be peaceful. That’s what Zach kept saying as they got dressed, buttoning the soft blue shirt his mother had bought him, fixing his collar, brushing imaginary lint from his sleeves like a mother hen.“Just… be nice tonight,” he murmured, almost pleading. “My dad booked the place months ago. It’s kind of our first night out as a family in years.”Family. The word had weight. And it wasn’t one Sudan could lift without feeling the familiar drag of resentment.Still, when Zach smiled at him, that warm, earnest smile that made him feel like he belonged somewhere, Sudan only nodded.“Yeah. I’ll be good,” he lied easily.The restaurant was perched right at the lake’s edge floor-to-ceiling windows glowing gold from sunset, the air humming with soft jazz and clinking glasses. It was the kind of place Sudan had seen from afar his entire childhood, watching other people be happy in ways he never got to be.The Musk family was already seated: Bask at the head, commanding th
