“Aren’t you intrigued by the lives of comedians at least once in your life? I’m not referring to actors only… Anyone can be a comedian. I mean, it is literally impossible for anyone not to have problems. But I actually wonder how they cope with sadness and still have the energy to make other people happy...” I said, shifting the topic to something else when I noticed him being silent after what I said.

That’s when I realized what I did. Why did I suddenly become talkative with him? He was just asking why I love comedy so much! Damn, Noah!

“I don’t care about them, so I don’t,” he nonchalantly replied.

“Sometimes, those who are funny are the ones suffering deep inside. They just cover it up with their jokes and lively personalities. I can even consider them heroes. They can make other people happy without asking for anything in return, when in fact, they can’t make themselves happy. You know, comedy movies are not just about funny moments; they also have a lot of lessons that can

    I woke up with a pounding headache. I rubbed my temples as I sat up in bed.“Fuck hangovers,” I muttered.“I told you to stop drinking so much when you’re alone.”My eyes fluttered open when I heard Kayden’s voice. He was right in front of me, standing with one hand on his waist. He was glaring at me, as if punishing me for something.I looked at him lazily.“Oh, you’re here,” I said flatly.“Oh, you’re here?” he repeated, dripping with sarcasm.“Why are you here?” I asked instead.“What do you mean by that?”His brow tightened further, like he was barely holding himself back on the verge of snapping.“Why? You’re never home anyway. Feels unusual.” I couldn’t hide the bitterness in my voice.I kept telling myself I’d try to understand him in every way I could, but I couldn’t shake what my friends had said the night before. It kept playing in my head like a broken record.I heard him sigh and sit on the bed.“Hey.” He tried to take my hand, but I pulled away immediately. “Hey, baby…” H

    “I can’t come home tonight, Noah. I’m sorry.”“How about tomorrow? Hmm?” I asked in my soft tone, a bit hopeful.“I can’t either. I’m really sorry. I’ll make it up to you next time.”“How about the other day—”“Hey, Kay—” It was another voice on the other line.“I’m gonna end the call now. I’ve got a really important meeting. Talk to you later. I love you. Bye.”He didn’t wait for me to reply before the call ended. I heaved a deep sigh before dropping my butt down on the couch.It’s been a couple of weeks since he became very distant. We barely even spend time with each other as he is always busy. He said he’s just busy taking care of the company. I should understand him. Even I was a bit busy with the lineup of my schedule, so I shouldn’t make a big deal out of it.However, as it continued to happen, I began to doubt things even if I didn’t want to.“I’m coming to the company,” I informed.“What?!” he overreacted.My forehead knitted. “I said I’m on my way to the company. I’ve brough

    I did what I was told. His fingers dug into my hips, pulling me back against him. His chest was a solid wall of muscle pressed to my back, his breath hot against the shell of my ear as he leaned in.“Your back looks so fucking sexy.” Then, I felt his tongue run along my bare back, making me arch.“Fuck me already,” I said, almost begging.He chuckled sexily and brought his face back to my nape. I could feel the tip of his cock poking teasingly at my hole.“Easy.”His free hand slid down my stomach, fingers tracing the trail of hair below my navel before wrapping around my cock, which was still sensitive. I bit my lip to stifle a moan, my hips involuntarily rocking into his touch.Without a word, he pushed himself inside me. My eyes clenched shut as he pounded against me.“Fucking tight,” he growled.I arched my back even more and tried to balance my posture. My eyes rolled back from the pleasure.“Stop,” I said, trying to remove his hand that was jerking me off. “I don’t want to come

    Months passed, and our secret relationship continued. No one noticed, and we were relieved. Good thing we were great at hiding it.“Are you home?” Kayden asked on the other line.“On my way. Just going to stop by a restaurant for dinner.”“Okay. Drive safely.”“Are you home?”“Yes. And I just showered.” His voice suddenly turned sexy and alluring.“I’m tired, Kayden,” I said in a low voice, shaking my head.He chuckled. “And? Let me wear you out some more.”“Asshole!” I laughed.I ended the call after that. I parked my car in front of an Italian restaurant and went inside. I took a seat in the corner while I waited for my order to arrive.The window was clear, so I could see outside from where I sat. I stood up almost immediately when I noticed a familiar male figure out there.Is that Mr. Salvador? The man was wearing a black suit. Even his build looked exactly like him. A woman was beside him. I couldn’t see her face because their backs were to me, but I was certain it wasn’t my mot

    A week later, I decided to get a condo near my workplace, and Kayden did the same. His place was only a few blocks from mine, so he would drop by here, or I’d go to his.“What time will you be home?” he asked while getting dressed.“Before five, I guess?”“I’ll sleep here later. Wait for me.”“You always sleep here. Then what was the point of buying your own place?” I teased.“For cover?” he answered.We both chuckled. When he was fully dressed, he came over and wrapped his arms around my waist.“I’ll go first. Take care.” He gave my lips a light kiss.“You too. I love you.”“I love you more.”A few minutes after he left my condo, I headed out too. I drove to the studio. I didn’t let Franco drive me so our secret relationship wouldn’t be exposed. They say prevention is better than cure.When I arrived at the studio, I saw Clarisse sitting casually on the couch. It had been months since I’d last seen her. She had disappeared from the public eye after the issue blew up, but over the pas

    I nodded and headed up to the third floor. As I climbed the stairs, all sorts of thoughts ran through my head. I didn’t even know what I was supposed to feel—only that guilt and shame weighed heavily on me.“Mom?”My brows knitted when I saw her come out of their room, her eyes red. Tears pooled at the corners of her eyes, as if she was doing her best to hold them back.I hurried to her. “What happened? Did you two fight?”She wiped her eyes right away, but I’d already noticed.“No. No. It’s just… uh… a little misunderstanding.”“You sure?”She nodded. “How are you, by the way? I missed you, Noah.”I bent down and hugged her. “I missed you more, Mom.”We went to my room to continue the conversation.“So, how are things between you two?”Even without mentioning the name, I knew she was talking about Kayden.I swallowed hard, anxiety rising. “Uh… we’re… okay, I guess?”“Really? You don’t fight anymore?”“I’ve been so busy I don’t even have the energy to fight him,” I chuckled.She snort
