LOGINJulian’s povThe next morning, a knock came on my door as I sat up, my head banging with the sun rays not making it any better for me. I heard someone talking outside my door as I got up, wore my briefs hanging on a chair, seeing as I was naked, and I walked to the door. The moment I opened it, I found my butler there arguing with Carlos.I frowned.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked him.He shrugged. “Sir, I’m really sorry I couldn’t stop him.”“ I came on my own,” Carlos said. He looked at the butler. “I’d like to talk to your boss alone now.”The butler then looked at me as I gave a small sigh. I was really having a heavy headache right now.“Why don’t you go downstairs and make us a drink? Possibly mine with coffee and his own made with poison. That would be great.”The butler was confused at what I said and looked to Carlos, who nodded at him.“I’m not taking anything, thank you.”The butler nodded and walked out.“Can we talk?” Carlos said.“What do you want, Carlos? I
Julian’s povI didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry hearing him say that. He had the balls to show up and to say this rubbish. After all he had done to me in the past. I was someone who didn’t like to hold on to the past for too long. But with what this guy had done to me, with what Silas had done to me, I couldn’t trust anybody again. Anything relationship, I don’t want to hear it. I’m out. They had destroyed what was left of my sanity. Now they thought they could just show up and say anything they want to say? Did Carlos think this was going to be easy?He was handsome. Looking at him, he was easy on the eyes. He had the body, the pecs, his dick was big, he was muscular, his smile was something that could swoon any guy and girl too. If he wanted to bag girls, he could bag girls.But what he had taken from me was too much and I just wanted to be away from him. Anything that had to do with his actions towards me, I wanted to be far away from him as possible.I had made the stupid m
Julian’s povI stayed in the study for a while before rubbing my temple and knowing that I wasn’t going to get my answers by locking myself away in this room.I needed to know why he was back. Carlos was here for something. What it was… I had no idea. But I was going to find out.My phone buzzed as I took it out of my pocket to find out it was a message from him, asking for my forgiveness and whatnot. This man still didn’t know what giving up meant.“Fuck,” I heaved before leaning against my take and looking at the painting on the wall.That was one of my first paintings. I could remember going around trying to sell it for something… anything that could give me some money to feed at the time. In this art business, I’ve realized that once you’re poor and you ask for favors, you won’t get any if you don’t have money. Only the rich break out in this business.Now I had money, I had so many people clamoring for it. Before, they called my paintings trash, now it was called revolutionary.
Julian’s povEvery part of me fought against answering that call. Yet my curiosity pushed me to find out the reason behind his call. There had to be a reason. I hit the side of my head with my glass as I wondered why I was falling for his petty tricks. This had to be one of them.Finally, after much thinking, I grabbed the phone, glanced at the display then exhaled before responding.“What?" I responded plainly.His laughter echoed from the speaker. "You’re more blunt than I recall. I expected more warmth from you seeing why we went through in the past.”I shrugged, swirling the liquid in my glass. "Perhaps it’s because I’ve become as cold as all of you. Maybe you’re so confident in your skills that you overlook the fact that some of us can mirror the same actions back at you. Is that shocking to you? Because from my end I feel fine.”He exhaled deeply. "Jules… I know that you’re upset with me...”“No. Don’t you dare say that to me. You know nothing about me.”“Jules…”“Don’t act like
Julian’s povI closed from work that evening and stared at the office, the mess that had been made. I wondered what I should have done different. Having sex with my fucking ex should have been number one on the list but nope. I had gone ahead to do whatever I wanted because why not.I gave a smal sigh and picked up a petal of flower on the floor to look at it. I loved the scent of it before I even put it against my nose to get what it smelled like.A small sigh escaped my lips. My assistant soon knocked on the door and entered as I looked up to her.I frowned. “What do you want?”She nodded. “I guess I deserve that after letting that man come in here. I had no idea you’d be… busy.”She said that like she was worried about what had happened but I knew it was only because she had seen what she wasn’t supposed to see.I looked away from her as I was too embarrassed to even hear her talk about all this like it was some casual conversation.I then smiled at her. “I know what you must be th
Silas’s povThe next morning I pushed myself to attend work. I tried to immerse myself in documents, conferences, the constant flow of meetings and whatnot instead of thinking of my emotions. Yet nothing could erase the thoughts of Julian fucking some fandom man in his office.Amara tapped softly on the door before stepping into my office. "Mr Silas, a call came for you," she said. "It’s from an adoption agency. They wish to talk with you.”I scowled, reclining in my seat, "An adoption agency?" I asked, my tone tense. "Which one?”She shook her head. "I'm not sure sir. They only mentioned they wished to talk with you."I gave a nod resting my fingers against my forehead. "Alright. Connect them on the phone.”She left as I picked the receiver and heard a voice on the phone asking if I was Silas."Yes " I responded slowly, my voice steady.“Alright, I was wondering if you can come to the agency so we can talk about your choice and know if you still want to adopt.”I wanted to reject the
