Loveless Chapter 1
Being the CEO of the company his father had created was something Sebastian Jones truly aspired to. What was not in his plans was to have inherited the company and the position, at the age of 21, during his junior year at the prestigious Cornell University, where he studied Applied Economics and Management.Having to split his day between the company and college, left him zero opportunities to attend parties, drink nights and hook up with his friends. Little by little, even his friends, he had to give up. The day only had 24 hours, unfortunately.It took him a year longer than planned, but he managed to finish college at the age of 24 and now, at 28, he's the youngest CEO in Forbes magazine.In the first year, he had to fight with the Board of Directors, very focused on defending the shareholders, but he managed to show maturity and commitment to the company. He managed to impress them and secure his position, but it turned a 21-year-old into a 30-year-old.Now, after 7 years at the h
Loveless Chapter 2
Theo was a loner, not by choice, but by circumstances in life. He was the son of wealthy people and the youngest of three brothers.When, at seventeen, he told his parents he was gay, they didn't twinkle an eye. They let him finish high school and put $500,000 in a bank account, under his name, with free access to it. He could pay the tuition, housing, food and staff, and live happily ever after, so they told him. They told him to manage the money as he pleased, and on his 18th birthday they told him goodbye. That was a lot of money in the hands of an 18-year-old, but they just didn't want him to corrupt his brothers.The half a million was mainly used to clear his parents' consciences. Deep down, they didn't want the press to accuse them of being sufficiently homophobic to exclude him from the family's, exclude the youngest son from their lives, with one hand in front and the other behind, sleeping on the streets. He'd get the education they'd always wanted and the money to start hi
Loveless Chapter 3

When in the morning there is a knock on the door, he looks around without knowing where he is. When Nancy walks in, with a T-shirt, some underwear, and a pair of jeans she's just bought, he reaches for his wallet to pay her.- If you're thinking of giving me money, I warn you as I cut all your clothes, new and old, with scissors and you'll have to return to New York naked.He raises his hands in surrender. He knew that woman was scary and probably already had the scissors in her pocket.- Breakfast is ready. It's 10 am. Come eat. Then you can go back to sleep if you want. - she says as she puts the clothes on the bed. - I hope you slept well.- I sleep wonderfully well. - He says, smiling.Nancy leaves and he gets up.

May I know your name?- Theodore Hanson, but I like Theo better – he replies, grabbing the hand that Sebastian held out, and shaking it.- Hanson?

Loveless Chapter 6
- I hope the restaurants I used to know still exist. says Sebastian, in an attempt to lighten the mood.- I don't know, I don't know anything outside Cornell University. I haven't left Cormell since I arrived 2 months ago.- Have you been in the dorm for two months? And you didn't leave campus? Jesus, it must have been really boring.- Ya! But it's okay.- What do you like the best? American? Asian? Italian?- I'm not weird, but I miss Asian food.- Asiatica will be then. – He says starting the route out of the University. – Let's see if Jon's Asian Cuisine still exists. It's not far from here.They followed a short distance in silence.

They continued to talk to me as
