Liam's pov
"Another shot, please." The bartender gave me a worried glance, maybe I was taking too much. But I didn't care, I needed to get wasted tonight. He poured another shot and added extra ice, it left a burning trail as I tipped it into my mouth. Tomorrow was my engagement, and my twenty-fifth birthday. I was to be engaged to the charming Avery Maddox. And shit, if I remembered correctly through all this alcohol. I've only met this woman once. And we didn't even hold out a proper conversation. "Another one." I requested, nudging the now empty glass to him. "It's your engagement sir, why aren't you happy about it.?" I scoffed internally, Maybe because I wasn't interested in women?Yes, they were luscious beings with luscious assets. But I ached to be used, to be dominated and pummelled into a mattress so hard that there would be a dent in the bed frame the morning after. I liked men, I wanted men. I gripped the cup in anger, I couldn't have them. Because that would mean my whole world tearing into little pieces and then burning up and receding into bright orange flames. "Just imagine....." I muttered amusingly, to my own hearing. "Liam Sinclair, heir to Mr. Astor Sinclair, coming out of the closet and identifying with the LGBT community." I could almost smell the headlines. My father would ruin me first, and I was honestly..... incapable of fighting his choices. The bartender turned to me, he was a big bulky man that had his hair roughed up with an apron on. A big muscle daddy capable of- "So you don't like her?" He asked, his squeaky nosy tone drowning out my desires. "It doesn't matter who I marry.....it's quite frankly all the same." He kept quiet after that and I kept on drinking, in fact....I started feeling the shots kicking in. I climbed on the table, hooted and announced that I would be buying drinks for everyone here. Their excited cheers erupted around me, their tongues gliding at the corner of their lips at the mention of free liquor. Through the blinding neon lights and loud phonk music, I noticed......him. He was seated at the VIP section, he was watching me.....his eyes held my stare and I could see him clamp down on his lip with his lower teeth. He was oozing dominance, I could taste his breath from across the room. Somehow, I knew that it would taste like mint and sugar. I would never dare to approach any man intimately in public, the fear for my reputation would not let them. But my body betrayed me for this stranger. I found myself getting off the table, walking towards him, liquid courage fueling my intentions. The crowd was thick, but I was quick on my feet. Within a fleet of a second, I was on his thighs, straddling him like a shameless slut, and kissing him, like I'd been starved of life itself. He kissed back, in fact......he kissed back with more vigour than I expected. His strong arms locked around my waist, his deep green eyes looked up at me, reminding me of a thick lush forest. "Tasty...." He muttered as he curled his tongue around mine, sucking on it lewdly as he moved around on the sofa. I could feel him getting an erection beneath me. God, what was I doing?. "Wanna take this elsewhere, a hotel, just us two?" He was a stranger to me, going with him alone would mean exactly what he was suggesting. My engagement was tomorrow, and.... He grabbed my neck and peppered kisses on my chin, fisting my growing bulge and marking my neck with his light bites. "Just one night...." I murmured out of breath. "Just one." He responded in agreement. We didn't need to exchange any other words, I signalled the bartender to deduct whatever bills from my card. He carried me out, still sucking on my throat and forcing submissive sounds out of me. "You'll be a good boy for me, won't you?" It sounded like something a serial killer would say, especially when he slid my drunk ass into the back of his tinted SUV. But I didn't mind, I was too far gone, lost in his scent of coffee and rain to care. For one night, I would be reckless and I'd let loose. ~ The hotel door clicked shut behind us, muffling the noise outside. He pressed me against the wall like he couldn’t wait, his mouth crashing into mine, hungry, lustful. I clung to him, fingers tangling in his shirt before yanking it open. Buttons popped, and he didn’t even flinch. He stripped me down with practiced ease, his gorgeous eyes scanning every inch of my exposed skin like I was something he’d been starving for. I’d never done this. I'd ever let a man touch me like this. But with him, that fear turned into heat. "You're smooth...." He trailed his hand across my bare chest, "soft....just how I like my pretty boys." He pushed me onto the bed, hands everywhere, down my chest, between my thighs, leaving wet trails with his tongue as I trembled beneath him. My breath hitched, my dick throbbed. Then he pulled my boxers off and settled between my legs. "Relax," he said. His fingers were slow at first, wetting themselves with cold lube and pressing into my hungry hole until I arched and whimpered, then he got rougher, crueler in the most beautiful way. "You’ve never been fucked, have you?" he murmured, pressing a kiss to my smooth ballsacs. I shook my head, too dazed to speak. He smirked, Then I felt him, long and hard, pushing in, stretching me open like his member was a beer bottle. I gasped, my nails digging into the sheets. "Breathe, pretty boy," he whispered, thrusting into me. The whole length, he slammed it in. It hurt. It burned. But by the gods, it was everything I craved. He didn’t stop until I was flushed and wrecked, begging for more. Until the room smelled of sex and sweat and desperation. He came with a growl, spilling deep inside me while I cried out a wordless gibberish plea. We hadn't even used a condom, I was careless, getting pummeled raw as his hands worked my own pitiful member. Making it spurt and wobble. We collapsed onto the sheets together, both of us breathless. He brushed his thumb over my bruised hip bone, "I've still got more loads to pour into you." He grinned, "let's see how well you do on top.”Chapter 062: Good News or Bad NewsThird Person's POVAvery sat across from him, her hands trembling slightly as she recounted her encounter with Jackson."Jackson came at me with questions," Avery said, her voice bitter as a winter wind. "Questions he had no business knowing the answers to. But he said he knew that the pregnancy wasn't Liam's.""No... No, he didn't know anything for certain," Mr. Astor Sinclair replied, his tone carrying the forced boldness of a man trying to convince himself as much as her.Avery looked at him with eyes that had seen too much betrayal in too short a time. She let out a breath that seemed to carry the weight of her crumbling world."I know I shouldn't have panicked the way I did. But I couldn't help it," she continued. "When Viviana came to tell me Jackson was at the house this morning, my first thought was: what on earth was he doing there after betraying our family and dragging our name through the mud?"She stood up and walked to the window, looki
Third Person's POVUptown The late afternoon sun is hotter as Liam parked his silver Camry outside what had once been the Grand Vista Hotel. Now it looked more like a monument to better times that would never return.The building's faded brick showed years of neglect. Paint peeled from window frames like old skin, and several of the letters in the hotel sign had burned out long ago, leaving only "G_and _ist_ Hot_l" weakly against the sky."This place looks like it's been forgotten by the world," Liam muttered to himself as he walked toward the entrance.The lobby smelled of old carpet and dreams that had died slow deaths. Behind the reception desk sat an elderly woman with silver hair pulled back in a neat bun. Her clothes were clean but worn, and her eyes carried the weight of someone who had seen too much disappointment."Hello, mister. Please, how can I help you today?" the woman asked, her voice carrying a slight accent that suggested she had come from somewhere else many years a
Third Person's POVMr. Astor Sinclair's Office - AfternoonThe desk shines brightly under the afternoon light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. Mr. Astor Sinclair sat behind it like a king defending his throne, one hand holding his phone, the other typing rapidly on his computer keyboard."Come on, you don't have to end our business relationship," Astor said into his phone, his voice carrying the desperate edge of a man fighting to save his empire. "I told you I will fix this situation, and when I say I'll fix something, I deliver on my promise."He paused, listening to the voice on the other end."No... no... yes, the interview was real. I disowned my son because of his disgusting behavior. But you can still count on Sinclair Corporation for the international contract. We will execute it better than anyone else in the market."Another pause, this one longer."Oh, you're willing to give us another chance? Yes... yes... thank you so much. I'll be waiting for the contract to b
Third Person's POV The afternoon light filtered through the mansion's windows like honey through gauze, casting long shadows across the marble floors. Avery sat in her bedroom, staring at her reflection in the vanity mirror, a woman she barely recognized anymore. "Ma'am?" Viviana's voice came softly from the doorway, carrying the careful tone she used when delivering potentially unwelcome news. "Who?" Avery asked, turning away from her haunted reflection. "Who are you talking about?" "Jackson Maddox, your brother, is here. He's waiting downstairs to meet with you," Viviana replied, her hands clasped in front of her starched apron. The words hit Avery like ice water. Of all the people she never expected to see again, Jackson topped the list. After yesterday's revelations, after the betrayal that had shattered her world into unrepairable pieces, here he was , showing up at her house. "This is unexpected," Avery whispered, more to herself than to Viviana. "Tell him I'll be down
Third Person's POVAvery's Bedroom - Early MorningThe morning light crept through the silk curtains like an unwelcome intruder, Empty vodka bottle on the nightstand. Mascara-stained pillowcases. The acrid smell of despair mixed with expensive perfume.Avery's eyes fluttered open, immediately squeezed shut again as pain shot through her skull like lightning. The hangover felt like divine punishment for the crime of existing in a world that had turned upside down overnight."Ma'am?" Viviana's gentle voice floated from the doorway like a prayer offered to a broken saint.The relationship between them had shifted imperceptibly. Where once there had been simple employer and employee dynamics, now there existed the delicate dance between someone drowning and someone trying to throw a life preserver without getting pulled under themselves.Avery lifted her head, immediately regretting the movement as the room spun like a carnival ride designed by sadists. "Viviana, you're already here?""It
Chapter 057: Bitter day isn't over "Being illegitimate is better than being a son that father and other relatives counted as a nobody." — Jackson Maddox~~~Third Person's POVLiam's New Apartment - Late NightThe penthouse felt like a sanctuary floating above the chaos of the world below. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city lights that twinkled like fallen stars scattered across black velvet. But Liam wasn't looking at the beauty outside.He sat hunched on the leather couch at nine thirty-four PM, the glow from his laptop screen casting harsh shadows across his face. The news websites displayed his most intimate moments like trophies in a museum of shame. Video thumbnails and photographs that should have been private were now public entertainment.The irony wasn't lost on him. Ever since his mother's death fifteen years ago, he had followed his father's advice without question. Every decision, every career move, every relationship h
