His Book club Arian
Arian's pov The edges of the cuffs dug into my skin as I struggled to free myself. Pain shot through my hands, but fear drove my desperation. I have to get out of there before he comes. The thought of Karl Palmer finding me in this situation sent a wave of panic through me. I tugged harder at the cuffs, my heart racing with anxiety. Despite the air conditioner, sweat broke out on my palms and my forehead as I tried to free myself from the cuffs. The fear of being seen by an homophobic man like Karl forced me to keep trying, even as the cuffs seemed to tighten, mocking my efforts.I stilled as the door opened with a slow creak that cut through my mind. Immediately, my breath hitched. Heavy and deliberate footsteps entered the room and all I could do was lie on the red sheet, bound helplessly to be bedframe,Karl Palmer appeared, stepping into the dim light as though he owned the air itself. His face was unreadable at first, carrying the same cold mask I had seen earlier when he dest

Arian's pov The first thing I felt when I woke up was a heavy weight. It was as if it was trying to pull me back into the darkness. As I struggled to remain conscious, my head was throbbing and my mouth was dry. For a moment I didn’t even know where I was. I didn't know if I was alive or dead. Slowly, I became myself as my senses began to work. The room was dim, lit only by some golden bulb etched into the walls. Then I noticed the sheets under me were soft, but the color struck me immediately. It was red, a deep, dark red that felt more like blood than fabric. They were wrapped around me tightly, clinging to my skin, and it wasn’t until I tried to move that I realized something was wrong.I looked up and my stomach dropped. My wrists were bound by cuffs, fastened to the bedframe above me. The coldness of the steel dug into my skin.“No,” I whispered, panic clawing at my throat. “Is anyone there?” I raised my voice despite the dryness in my throat.The sound of footsteps broke the

Kael's pov I kept seeing Arian in my head, the way he had looked at me before he walked away, the hurt in his eyes when he said ‘maybe he didn’t belong’. That look cut deeper than any blade could.I should have never struck a deal with my father. Striking a deal with him was like dealing with the devil. But why did he have to humiliate Arian? Why did he have to crush every ounce of happiness I had left? Can't he just accept the fact that I can never live the life he wanted me to live? These questions only led to a wave of guilt inside me. I sat beside him, my body stilled, my eyes shut as the whole night played in my mind. He sat beside me, quiet and annoying. I wanted to go to my apartment but I knew he would never allow me. So the driver took us straight to the house. The same house that never felt like home. It felt like a fortress built not for family, but for the Palmers’ reputation.The second the car stopped, my shoved the door open and strode inside without looking back.

Arian's pov The ache inside my chest was unbearable, an emptiness that gnawed at me with every breath I took. My steps were slow and heavy as I dragged myself further away from the restaurant and from Kael. “You are an opportunist, nothing more.” The weight of Karl Palmer's words was pressing down on my shoulders, making me question my existence. I don't know what hurt more between the insults or the helplessness in Kael's eyes. I didn’t even notice when the first drop of rain fell. It landed on my skin, warm compared to the lingering oldness of Karl's words. It started as drops until the sky opened up, spilling its grief upon me.Soon, I was drenched. My clothes clung to my body, my hair plastered to my forehead, but I didn’t care. I welcomed the rain as if it could wash away the sting of his father’s voice and the helpless look in Kael’s eyes when he couldn’t stand up to the man who had built his world.I tilted my head back, letting the rain hit my face, mixing with the tears I

Arian's pov Before I could turn to walk away, Karl Palmer emerged from the restaurant, his eyes scanning the scene before landing on us. As our gazes met, a flicker of recognition crossed his face. Meanwhile, Kael's expression shifted when he saw his father. His eyes darted to mine before he quickly dropped his hand, as if he was caught in a secret. “There you are.” Karl Palmer said, glaring at me. It wasn’t just a look, it was a judgment, a dismissal, a sentence all at once.“So this is what I found,” he said, his lips curling into something between a sneer and a smile. “Are you not the charity student in my school?”The way he said it was as if I was a dirt beneath his shoe.“Father…” Kael began, but Karl Palmer raised a hand sharply, silencing him with a gesture.“I am the scholarship student, Arian Smith,” I said as if my name was supposed to ring a bell. I guess it did because something flashed in Karl Palmer's eyes for a fleeting second. Then he masked it with that stoic exp

Arian's pov I groggily opened my eyes, a throbbing headache greeting me as I did. Why did I drink so much? I asked myself, trying to remember what happened last night but the events were hazy, refusing to come into focus no matter how hard I tried to recall them. I just remembered that we got to the bar and the celebration started. When I checked the time, I realized that I'd overslept and missed school. How was I supposed to explain that I overslept and missed school when I told the others to come?I used my day to draft the report of the festival from home. I texted Maya and she said she came but she left since she didn't see either me or April. I texted April but she hasn't replied to my text yet. Later, as the evening drew in, my phone buzzed with a text. I thought it was from April but no, it was from Luke. Confusion washed over me as I opened the message to see an invitation to dinner at a restaurant. I stared at the message, wondering if he had sent it to me instead of anot
