Brewster and Jim found that all the things they brought had been taken by the bodyguards. "Can we enter now?" Brewster asked the men timidly.

The men nodded. None of them said a word, but they paved the way for the brothers.

Brewster bowed slightly and flashed a smile. After which, he caught Jim's hand and led him in.

Finally, he had been allowed to enter Ace's mansion. He had been curious about what the place someone as cold and detached as Ace would look like.

Would it look like those apartments in fairy tales or like the ones he used to see in movies? Or maybe like his family's former mansion?

But he hadn't been able to choose any of the houses he imagined because none of them seemed to fit Ace's style.

His curiosity piqued as he was led through a vast garden, and then a car stopped before him.

Jim was also confused. "Where are we going again?" He had to ask.

Weren't they already standing before the mansion earlier? Not only did the bodyguards take them around the mansion, b

    The car stopped in front of Ace's mansion, and several men surrounded Jim's car. Both Jim and Brewster were taken aback. Brewster's face even turned pale from fright as he watched the bulky men standing frigidly around their car. Jim formed a fist and cursed lowly. "Is Ace playing with us? What the hell is he doing?!" He felt like he was about to lose his mind. Brewster shook his head. "Ace doesn't know about this." He mumbled. There was no way Ace would make things difficult for him after telling him to come over. He had even sent a message to Ace before they got there!Jim glanced at Brewster through the corner of his eyes and sighed deeply. His heart ached. He couldn't help but wonder how Brewster would live with a dangerous snake like Ace. Would the young man survive?Jim felt lost. However, Brewster couldn't stop the trembling of his lips, but he firmly believed Ace wouldn't hurt him. So, his sweaty fingers reached the door, and he opened it without a word. Jim's eyes wide

    Brewster's eyes widened. He shook his head with a frantic expression on his face. "No, brother Jimmy. Why would you think of that?!" Even he was greatly shocked. Jim still couldn't believe it. "You don't love him?" He had to confirm again. Brewster shook his head. "I don't. Why would I love Ace? Wouldn't that make me a masochist?" He asked with a bewildered look. Jim finally let out a deep breath but he was still bothered. "Then, why do you want to live with him?" He lowered his voice and asked. It was as if he was scared of someone overhearing their words and using them against them. Brewster's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, why was he so keen on living with Ace?He remembered how, despite his worries concerning Jim's matter through the night, the excitement of living with Ace still came through, even though it was continuously drowned out by his concern about Jim's matter. However, even if it was like this, Brewster was certain he wasn't in love with Ace. No way that could happe

    Brewster wiped his mouth and patted his belly lazily. "Thanks, bro Jimmy." He appreciated. Jim laughed awkwardly and waved his hand. "I've promised you that I'd cover your meals whenever I can. You call me brother, so give me the chance to act like one." Brewster flashed an innocent smile and blinked. "Yes. Brother Jimmy is the best." He stood up and walked toward the bed. "Today is the first day of acting, right?" He asked. Jim nodded. "Director William called earlier. You don't have a scene throughout this week. You can rest at home and go over next week." He explained. Brewster raised a brow, and his heart slightly flushed. "Then, I can pack today." He initially thought he would have to wait until the drama production was over before he could pack his things to Ace's house, but listening to Jim's explanation, he felt relieved in his heart. "Um." Jim nodded, then his eyes widened. "Pack? Pack to where?" He sounded confused. Brewster pursed his lips, and embarrassment flashed

    Morning came, but Brewster continued turning and rolling in bed. He couldn't catch a wisp of sleep all through the night. The call kept ringing in his head. The conversation with the deep-voiced man scared him more than he'd love to admit. He could tell Jim was in danger. But how could he help? What if the man was much more powerful than Ace? Would Ace still help him then?Brewster groaned painfully. His thoughts were chaotic. He scrambled for his phone with his hand, his eyes closed from exhaustion, and his fingers caught hold of the old phone. He pulled the phone closer to himself and forced his eyes open. "No call." He mumbled to himself. He had hoped Jim would call. He hadn't said anything to Jim during the call, but he desperately hoped all through the night that Jim would call and give him an explanation. While he did not want to confront Jim, he also couldn't let it go. He felt troubled. His temples pulsed. He closed his eyes weakly and hissed, but the sudden knock fr

    Brewster stepped out of the office still in a daze. He walked forward with a silly expression on his face, but his nails wouldn't stop piercing his palm. "Live in his home." He mumbled. His lips slowly curled up, and his ears turned beet red. He hastened his steps and clutched his chest to steady his rapidly beating heart. His head tilted, and his expression turned a little serious. "I might have to see a doctor soon. My heart is beating too fast these days." He complained. He rummaged in his pocket and brought out his phone. "Brother Jimmy..." He called softly as he dialed the line on his screen. The phone rang for a while and ended unanswered. Brewster frowned and called again, but the result was the same. "What's going on?" He mumbled worriedly. Jimmy was always with his phone. There was no way the man would ignore Brewster's call, especially after he dropped him at the hotel before he left. Brewster knew Jim would have been deadly worried and would have stayed alert with h
