He Wanted To Be Seen

Daniel’s POV

I dashed toward the entrance of the venue, where several people shouted and screamed Neo’s name. The figure in black was quick, and before I could push through the crowd, he had already run out. Looking to my left, there was nothing—just a group of people walking and laughing. Then, to my right, I spotted someone wearing black attire with a black hoodie, walking casually down the street.

I took off after him, my heart pounding in my chest. When I finally reache

    A Perfect PlacementDANIEL“You can’t fix this by staring at your phone, Daniel?” Justin’s voice sounded somewhere in the background, but I barely reacted, too focused on the screen.It had been three hours since we arrived at Justin’s house. He’d insisted on taking me there despite my reluctance.I was still trying to make sense of the trending release. The video. The statement. The way they’d announced that all contact between Neo and me had been severed.Severed. The statement was still open on my screen. I read it again, even though I already knew every word.Neo Vale would be taking an indefinite break from public appearances. All contact with his former bodyguard had been severed.Former bodyguard.I locked my phone and tossed it onto the couch.“Have you eaten anything?” Justin asked, pushing a can of Coke my way.“I’m not hungry.”“You haven’t eaten since you got here.”“I said I’m not hungry.”He sighed. “Fine. But you’re going to have to do something besides stare at that p

    Not Your Decision NEOThe phone hit the floor with a sharp sound that felt far away.I couldn’t move. My ears were ringing. The images were still burned behind my eyes — me on Daniel’s lap, my hands on his shoulders, and the way I’d looked at him like we were the only two people in the world.Except now the whole world had seen it.Sasha was saying something. Her voice sounded muffled, like I was underwater. I stared at the cracked screen on the floor as another notification lit it up.Then another.And another.“Neo.” Sasha’s hands were on my arms now. “Neo, breathe.”I sucked in a breath that didn’t feel like it reached my lungs. My pulse was slamming so hard it made my fingers tingle.She bent down, picked up the phone, and turned the screen against her palm like that could somehow undo it.“It’s going to be okay,” she said, but her voice was tight.It wasn’t.People had seen me. Really seen me. Not the version that performed under lights or smiled for cameras. The version that ha

    Severed DANIELMy phone wouldn’t stop buzzing as soon as I got it from the nightstand. By the time I opened the first link, the videos and pictures had already been shared forty thousand times.I recognized the storage shelves before I recognized myself. Then my own back, Neo’s hands on my shoulders, and him sitting on my lap. I watched us kissing and touching each other. And by the time we were rubbing our dicks together, I couldn't physically bring myself to continue watching. How had I missed a hidden camera? Was it coincidental?Fuck. I’d only dozed off an hour ago, after sending Neo another pile of messages he hadn’t answered. Charlie had asked three times where his brother was before he fell asleep, and I’d lied to him each time.Now I was watching pictures and videos of us that so many people had sent. I couldn’t even keep track of which link I’d opened first, while Neo was on the other side of town, probably seeing the same thing and freaking the hell out. I dragged both h

    Radio Silence NEOPlease let me know you’re safe. I reread the message and countless others before putting my phone face down and pulling my knees to my chest.The wind brushed against my face, carrying the smell of rust and damp grass. Somewhere above me, a loose metal chain creaked. I looked up at the old Ferris wheel. It hadn’t moved in years. Mom used to say it was her favorite ride. I knew she was lying because she hated heights, but I never called her out on it. I’d ended up getting in an Uber to this place after not knowing where to go. The Uber driver, an older man, looked at me like he could see right through me. He didn’t ask questions, even though my first-ever song was playing from his speaker. I exhaled softly, my hand going to my phone before I thought better of it. I shoved my hands into my pocket instead. Walking around the park, I was sent back to the time Mom bought Lilian and me cotton candy. It was one of the memories I cherished. My phone vibrated almost i

    Until You’re SafeDANIELHarley’s eyes met mine behind Neo’s shoulder. I nodded once, and he stepped aside, giving way to an extremely angry Neo to storm through the gate. I knew I shouldn’t let him out alone. Dangerous people were still lurking around, waiting for the right moment to pounce. But I couldn’t follow him either. He’d explicitly told me not to. My eyes remained fixed on the gate he had just gone through. Dragging a hand through my hair, I sighed deeply, my chest feeling like it was sliced open and rubbed with salt. Fuck it. I strolled to the garage, hopped on my bike, grabbed an extra helmet, and started it.“Is everything alright, Sir?” Harley asked, eyeing my bike and the helmet. “No,” I gritted out and strapped my helmet on, swinging my leg over the leather seat and settling in. Where could he possibly be?The streets were empty and quiet as I swerved on familiar corners. Damn it. I shouldn’t have stopped him even if he ended up hating me forever. Better to h

    Let Me OutNEOHe’s using you. The words flashed through my mind again, and suddenly, Daniel’s silence felt different. He’d been acting strange all day. Taking calls, disappearing, promising to tell me things later. And now he’s admitted to investigating the people connected to the worst part of my life. What else had he found?“I had someone look into it,” he said softly, moving to the edge of the couch to reach out to my hand. “I wanted to make sure no one suspicious got close to you.”I stepped back at the touch of his finger on me. Daniel’s eyes went hollow, the pupils dilating until the blue swallowed up the grey. His gaze darted from his hand suspended in the air to my defensive posture. “Why?” My voice trembled, tears prickling at my eyes. There were things about me I’d never wanted anyone to know. Not because I thought they made me a bad person, but because I couldn’t bear the thought of them looking at me differently after learning them. I took another step backwards,

    Barely BreathingDANIEL’S POVThe ride to Oxford Street was quiet, just like any other ride I’d had with Neo. He had his phone in hand, texting Sasha, probably to tell her we were close. Outside the window, lights shone brightly in greys and gold. It was late afternoon, but the lighting still stood

His hand twitched against my arm, tugging me closer in a half-conscious embrace, and his warm breath brushed my chest. I pushed myself up carefully, not wanting to wake him, though ev

I didn't step back. Neither did he.We were chest-to-chest, breathing the same humid pocket of gym air. His swea
