Chapter One: Lost Links.

Julian ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Breaking into an abandoned building which was already falling apart.

This was his brother's apartment when he was alive. Nobody has been here since forever. White sheets covered everything.

Nothing here seems touched, except this drawer, recently opened. There was an old photo with the name “A. Caesar” written at the back.

Julian have heard that name before, during his elder brother's death investigation which was later ruled a suicide. He knew his brother would have never taken his life. The investigation was just rushed through

Julian began digging into the drawer hoping to see something more about that name. He found out something that scared him. The “A. Caesar was Alejandro Caesar. Mafia royalty, brutal, untouchable,also was the last person in contact with his brother.

He heard a movement, someone was behind him.

“Hey you, what are you doing here?”, he heard someone yelled behind him.

A man was standing here with a stick in hand. He took a swing at Julian.

Julian managed to dodge in time.

Julian dashed out the door, running and almost out of breath.

When he got to a safe place.

“I'm coming for you. Caesar, I would make you pay if you are guilty of my brother's death “

________

Julian makes his way to “The Sphere Desire”, a club that is said to be Caesar's territory.

Julian got to the door, showed his ID to the bouncer. Then walked inside, dressed like a college kid, that was the impression he wanted to pass.

“A glass of vodka”, he said to the bartender.

“Here you go, kid”

Caesar noticed a young guy walked in. He looks like someone that should be here, he finds him suspicious but that wasn't the reason he noticed him.

This boy was definitely his type to the letter..

Cute, dumb and the kind that walks into danger themselves..

Caesar with a glass and smoke in hand watched the boy from the VIP lounge.

Julian scanned the room around to see if Caesar truly did come here when he saw him and….

Their eyes met, making him nervous and gasping all of a sudden.

Caesar stood up and was definitely walking towards him now.

Julian's heart pounds in his chest…..

He thought he was prepared for this.

He sees someone sit by his side.

Caesar Alejandro.

“Hi, I'm Caesar. What about you?”, stretching his hands towards him

“Julian, I'm Julian”, sounding nervous.

He shaked his hand, but he didn't let go for a few seconds. Eyes locked, Caesar looked at him as if he wanted to see through him.

He didn't go away, he kept talking on and on.

Julian was tense.

“Relax, kid. I'm not gonna eat you…..or not yet”, he smiled.

Caesar was polite and charming with everything he said.

Julian was beginning to feel hunted at this point.

“You look similar, reminds me of someone I buried a long time ago”.

He ran his hand into Julian's brown hair and down his face.

Caesar looked at him, noticed his blue eyes. A small frame that could mistake him for a lady.

“So pretty”, he smirked..

Julian felt weird. The way he watched him, scanned him from his feet to his face.

“This is actually my first time here. Moreover, I got to go.”

Julian rushed out before Caesar could say another word to him.

Julian hurried up so he could get to his dorm on time.

When__

A black car blocked the alley. He became frightened. Thinking about maybe running back the the other way.

A black tailored suit came down from it.

“Mr Caesar would like to give you a ride home.”

“Thank you but I'm almost home. I really appreciate”.

“But it wasn't a request, kid. Whatever Mr Caesar wants he gets”

“I'm really sorry but I have to go”, Julian smiled so he could seem polite enough so he could be let go.

Julian kept on walking but this black car followed slowly by his side.

Julian picked up his pace, walking faster.

The car just kept following.

Suddenly, he starts running.

Two men from the car ran after him.

Julien tried running faster, adrenaline pumping into his veins. Jumping over a couple of fences.

These men were gradually catching up with him.

Then, he turned.

“Shit”, he cursed.

It was a dead end..

He tried fighting one of them but got knocked out.

He gets taken, door closed.

Caesar in the back seat beside him. Eyes fixed on him like a predator on his prey.

He whispered, “I knew you were going to fight back. Stubborn and brave, my type”.

"Same hair and blue eyes. So much like him."

He brushed the back of his finger on Julian's face.

"I don't know what you want for me. Just let me go."

"Oh, I want a lot from you. Julian"
