Jacob

The first time when Nathan found us together in my apartment. An apartment he paid for, I promised it'd be the last.

His key twisted in the lock, too early, a surprise, and Daniel had just enough time to yank his pants up before Nathan was there, gaping at us from the doorway, the grocery bags falling and apples rolling out like they were embarrassed on our behalf.

“Get the fuck… out!” Nathan's voice cracked like it was going to break.

But Daniel, that sly son of a bitch, just smirked, buttoning up his shirt. “You heard him. You need to go."

When Nathan went to work the next day, Daniel was back in my kitchen, lounging like he owned the place.

Since I’d refused to go over to him, he had made it his mission, to never stop tormenting me.

“I told you not to come here," I whispered, looking at the door like it was my only escape.

“You say a lot of things, Pretty boy.” He took my wrist, thumb playing with my pulse. “Doesn't mean I care about them… well most of them."

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 100

    Nathan The weight of my family’s secret still burned through me like a fire that had refused to be quenched by an ocean.The last time I’d somehow summoned the courage to bare myself open to Jake, to tell him all the secrets surrounding his family’s demise, something had interrupted.At first, I thought it was a text from that devilish bastard.Daniel.But no, it wasn’t. It had been from one of Jake’s friends at school. Something about a project they had to do together and to prove to me that he wasn’t sneaking around anymore, he’d asked me to drive him there. “Don’t forget dinner, tomorrow.” I’d whispered in his neck, before kissing his forehead and sending him off into his friend’s apartment.He didn’t come home that night, but he kept me updated on what he did.And I was grateful for that. It gave me hope that maybe I hadn’t entirely lost him… and telling him about this fire would ruin everything.And my heart wouldn’t be able to bear it.Of course, I would still tell him the who

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 99

    KennyEverybody loved Jacob, that sly dog. He had this shiny exterior, the golden boy vibe, and everyone fell for it. Even my old man held him higher than me. But the truth of the matter was, I couldn’t care less about being the center of attention. I just wanted some damn respect. But with him around, I was always playing the second. It was like I was invisible. Jacob had this charm that made him the perfect guy in everyone’s eyes, without even breaking a sweat. It was infuriating, to say the least.He didn’t need to ask for anything, it just came to him. And I, the screw-up, the black sheep, the one who could never get it right? It was just a joke. But I wasn’t going to take all that, sitting down. I watched him from afar, waiting for that one chip in his armor. And the truth? It didn’t need a genius for it to be found.Family gatherings were the worst. Everyone would gush over Jacob’s latest achievements, while Dad clapped him on the shoulder like he’d single-handedly foun

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 98

    Nathan It’d been a few days back at my parents' house. I found myself back in my father’s study, the gloomy light making the shadows stretch like long fingers across the room. The scent of old leather and dusty books wrapped around me, once a comfort, now feeling like chains. In my grip, a tattered folder, its pages yellowed with age, held secrets that had taunted me since I stumbled upon them…papers filled with betrayal and a tragedy that linked both Jake’s family and mine… together. One photo in particular had grabbed my attention, showing my dad and a man all chummy, grinning as they clasped hands. Jacob’s Dad.It was taken right before the fire that wiped out Jacob’s family. The photo was a stark fucking reminder of the messed-up history we shared. I’d found the folder when I was just a teen, poking around for something to read. The floorboard near my father’s desk was loose, and when I pried it up, the hollow space beneath revealed a stack of documents wrapped in twine.

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 96

    Nathan I studied him from afar, his eyes glued to his phone, but I could feel it. Something was off with Jacob, and it wasn’t just the dark circles under his eyes or the tension from work. This was a shift in his mind, a change that seemed to have lodged in his very marrow. It was a shift that had occurred over the last few weeks, a transformation that was palpable yet unspoken. He wasn’t the same. Not the vibrant, warm-hearted man I’d come to adore. Now, he was a stranger, lost in thought, detached. Whenever we were together, his eyes had a tendency to wander, and when our fingers grazed, there was no electricity, no warmth. It was as if he was playing a part, going through the motions of love without truly feeling it. I had almost convinced myself that it was all in my head, that Jacob was just overwhelmed. But the truth slapped me in the face, undeniable. I’d caught them. Together. More than once. It wasn’t just the furtive looks or the way Jacob’s eyes lit up like a Chr

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 95

    Jacob I gazed into the whiskey in my glass, mindlessly swirling it around. The brown liquid caught the dim bar lights, casting fractured reflections like broken promises.The chilly metal of the glass did absolutely nothing to ease the pain gnawing at me, a relentless beast chewing through my resolve. I loathed how much I thought about him…how even now, after everything, my body still thrummed with the memory of his touch. How could I shake the spell he had me under? No matter how hard I tried, it seemed impossible.This dive bar was nothing special… just a shadowy spot with a wall of booze bottles, their labels worn from years of neglect. The air smelled of stale beer and regret, the kind of place where people came to disappear. Still, it was where I first fell for Nathan and had wished it’d been Daniel. That first kiss with him after these many years, still lingered in my mind… soft at first, tentative, like he was testing the waters. Then fiercer, hungrier, like he was stak
