Jacob

The air inside the apartment felt suffocating, and crispy. It was as if the walls were slowly closing in on me with each breath I took.

I was caught between two men, and it was entirely my fault… again.

I’d pushed one… and let him back in… again.

Both were offering something I wasn’t sure I could accept. The lies I had told and those I had let fester were weighing me down, and there seemed to be no escape.

I couldn't outrun them. I couldn't outrun either of them.

Nathan.

Daniel.

I had no idea what I wanted anymore. I didn’t even recognize myself. Each day felt like teetering on the edge of a cliff, staring down into an abyss that seemed insuperable.

There weren't any clear answers or easy choices… just two men holding pieces of my heart, and a heart that was torn, struggling to decide where it truly belonged.

That was when Nathan proposed a trip.

“A weekend getaway,” he said, his voice soft and a bit uncertain. “Just the two of us. No distractions. No lies. No... nothing.

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 126

    Nathan On the flight back, we ended up talking about the wedding again. Jacob brought it up so casually like it wasn't a big deal. He was scrolling through venues on his phone, asking if I liked this one or that one. I said yes to most of them… not because I cared, but because I wanted to see him smile. Deep down, I was just pretending I still had a chance.But I could feel it… the distance.It was in the way his voice trailed off, how he would look out the window instead of at me, and how he stopped asking for my input halfway through the flight. It felt like he was slipping away again. Maybe he never truly came back.As soon as we landed, he was out of the plane first. I watched his back, the way his shoulders slumped as if he were carrying more weight than he could handle.I followed him.Back at home, we unpacked in silence. He took a shower without inviting me to join him and went straight to bed afterward, curling up on his side as if he didn't want to be touched. I lay ne

    Jacob Daniel's words lingered long after he left. “I love you, Jacob.” So simple yet so powerful. Like thunder rattling in my chest.I sat on the edge of my bed for what felt like hours. The door was slightly ajar, letting in the sounds and breezes from outside, but inside, my world felt quiet. Numb.His voice carried significance… like a promise. A warning.I just wasn't prepared to hear it.Not like that.Not now.I thought about Nathan. I had once told him I loved him, and I meant it. I thought I still did. But honestly, I couldn't even recognize what love looked like anymore. Maybe it was just familiarity. Maybe it was loyalty. Or perhaps it was confusion… fire, like the kind Daniel ignited wherever he went.Could I really trust him?That was the question spinning in my mind. Could I trust Daniel, the man who had hurt me, lied to me, and shattered me into pieces I was still struggling to put back together?Could I actually forgive him?He claimed he had changed. Better. That he

    RichardI loathed Daniel. This wasn’t about jealousy or our past, it was because Jacob still held onto his love for him.After everything.After the pain, Daniel had inflicted on him. After the bruises and the nights filled with heartbreak. After Jacob managed to claw his way out of the darkness Daniel had shoved him into, gasping for air as if he’d been buried alive. Through all that… he still had feelings for him. It twisted my gut every time I heard him softly utter Daniel’s name while watching them closely.That voice.Soft. Trembling. It seemed to hold something sacred, even if the man behind it wasn’t worthy of such reverence. Like that name still mattered. I remember hearing him say it once… murmured over the phone while drunk, unaware that I was there.That was when I understood I’d never be able to compete. Not with the pain that intertwined them in ways love couldn’t erase.But Sarah wasn’t listening. She never did.“Keep pushing,” she urged. “He’s faltering. You just nee

    RichardSarah used me. She always had. From the moment she realized I had feelings for Jacob, she knew exactly how to manipulate me. It was too easy. I was a total pushover. Honestly, it was kind of pathetic. She’d flash that charming smile, make promises she had no intention of keeping, and dangle something just out of reach… always teasing me enough to think I could grab it…and I took the bait every time.I can still picture that night she invited me over. Her perfume lingered in the hallway… sharp, with a floral yet dangerous edge. All I wanted was to feel needed, to feel like I mattered. And she gave me that, but just enough to reel me back in deeper.She knew how much I still wanted Jacob. Even after all these years and despite everything I’d done, all the hurt I caused him, she could tell I hadn’t moved on. Late at night, I’d replay her words in my head. “I need you.” Those two little words were everything I’d been waiting for. I jumped at the chance right away, my heart rac

    SarahThat spineless bastard, Richard, really let me down. At first, I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I’d put all my faith in him, thinking that his obsession with Jacob would finally drive him to do what I needed him to do. But Jacob didn’t budge. No matter how much pressure Mr. Richard put on him, he stood firm. He was tougher than I expected, and I had underestimated him.I knew I had to switch gears. I couldn’t let this situation drag on. Not now, with Daniel’s future still hanging in the balance. I had to handle this myself, quietly, without anyone catching on. Especially not my so blindingly in-love brother, Daniel.Taking a deep breath, I mentally practiced my approach. The best way to get to Jacob would be to get close to him, to pretend I liked him… again.Just like I did the first time I met him. To act like I was concern for his well-being, to make him think I understood what he was going through. I needed him to see me as someone who was just like him… a fellow vict

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 121

    Sarah I had never really been the type to play games. Well, at least not until everything changed. Not until I had to fight tooth and nail to keep Daniel safe. He was all I had left, and I would do anything for him… even if that meant getting my hands a little dirty.Jacob was a problem. He wasn’t just some clueless guy caught up in our mess… or with Daniel.He wasn’t someone who stumbled into a situation that wasn't his doing. Jacob knew too much. He had access to secrets from our past that could ruin my family… secrets about my father’s wrongdoings, about the loss of our older brother, who meant everything to us. And the worst part was, he didn’t even realize the power that knowledge gave him.He thought he was stuck in the middle, but he represented so much more. He was a weapon. If he ever decided to talk, if he ever spilled the truth, everything we’d worked so hard to build for Daniel and everything our family had fought to keep hidden would come crashing down.I couldn’t l
