FAZER LOGIN“Your mate will appear at twenty.” Nathan waited years for that moment. For one person. Mikhail. His best friend. His first love. The one he could never have. So when Nathan turns twenty and sees Mikhail walk in with a girlfriend, smiling like nothing ever mattered, he finally lets go of a love he’s held onto since childhood. He drinks. He laughs. He pretends he’s fine. Until the string appears. A burning thread wraps around his wrist—tight, inescapable. And it doesn’t lead to Mikhail. It leads somewhere else. Somewhere worse. Right beneath a half-open door. Valentino. Mikhail’s older brother. The man Nathan has always hated. The man who looks at him like he’s a problem. The man fate has chosen for him. Now bound by a string he can’t ignore—and refuses to accept—Nathan is faced with a cruel truth: What if destiny doesn’t care who you love? What if it ties you to the one person you never wanted? And what happens when the more he tries to cut the string… …the tighter it pulls?
Ver mais"I have no idea why he kept you outside," Nathan mumbled as he dumped another scoop of food into Orion's plate. The dark doberman instantly gobbled it.Nathan chuckled."You're not scary," he commented, his lips curled into a warm smile. His eyes darted to Sapphire who was asleep in the shed. "But your sister is."Orion's ears perked up and he shot his head towards Nathan. His expression changed as though he understood what the boy had said. "What?" Nathan asked, tone blank.Orion tilted his head. "It's true." The dog stared at him for a moment before he resumed his meal. Nathan crouched down beside him and sighed, hand caressing the dog's back as he watched him eat. Valentino would soon be home. But knowing that did nothing to dispose of this emptiness in his chest. Orion's ear twitched as his finger traced the veins on the shell slowly. The dog shot his head towards Nathan again. This time, he stomped its fore paws."What?" Nathan's brows furrowed. His gaze sliced to his pl
His father was wrong.He wasn't that helpless boy who watched his mother writhe in pain until she took her last breath anymore.He was Valentino. A name whispered, with a weight that was not only ancient but venomous. Years of waiting, enduring, watching had molded him.His scars weren't just marks. They were testimonies strewn about his skin of the life he had to step into. A world where power breathed and weaklings bowed and danced to its whims. A world he had dominated with nothing to his name but only the sheer will to avenge his mother's death. Nikolai was wrong. Nathan wasn't his weak spot. He was his fuel. His drive. His reason to finally put that old man in his place. And bring his brother home. To truth. To mother. Valentino's steps filled the air, crisp and heavy, laced with the undertow of something that had wreaked an oppressive silence upon the office for a week.His eyes were sharp, despite the measly hours of sleep, dark brown irises tinged with suppressed rage.
The lecture room was quiet, except for the professor's mechanical voice drifting through the air like its main goal was to put Nathan to sleep.The boy glanced round, eyes half-lidded, his head rested on his hand. Mikhail wasn't here. Elena, too.They must be busy.Their wedding would be right after the semester.He scoffed and shook his head.Why the rush?His gaze sliced back to his note and he continued writing. If it hadn't been for his exams that were around the corner, he would have ditched the class.His mind wandered to Valentino and a small smile crossed his lips.God, he couldn't wait to get this over with and go home. Home. His heart thumped. Valentino's house was now home.He never thought he'd miss being hospitalised so much.They had all the time in the world. His smile fell. Now...The professor soon rounded up his lecture and packed his bags. It was his final lecture for the semester. He wished them good luck on their exams then left.Nathan wasted no time.He reache
"That's all?" Valentino asked as he placed the last bits of Nathan's belongings in a duffel bag.The boy's eyes darted round the room and a sigh slipped through his lips. He nodded, lips curved into a small smile."Let's go then." The man could not help but return the smile. He swung the bag on his shoulder and padded towards him."Let me carry that," said Nathan as he stared up at him. His wide eyes caught the light, sapphire-flecked irises sparkling with something that made Valentino's heart skip.Valentino's smile fell into something shy and he shook his head, unable to tear his gaze away.The boy scoffed, shooting him a glare.Then he stormed away, tousled hair bouncing with each step. Once he reached the door, he stopped and moved to the side, glancing expectantly at him.The man stared at him for a moment too long, before he closed the distance between them and slid the door open.A crisp 'tsk' dripped from Nathan's lips, but the small smile playing on his lips was hard to miss
The living room was silent, save for the scribbling of pen on paper and the occasional flipping of pages. Nathan sat at the center table, eyes fixed intently on the pad of paper before him as he wrote. His hand squeezed Valentino's subconsciously and the man squeezed back, earning his attention.
Nathan sighed once he was out of the hall, clutching the strap of his backpack tightly. He'd never expected that level of difficulty.If it hadn't been for the all-nighters he pulled two days before, he would not have been able to answer the horrendous questions. The lecturers sure weren't playin
Nathan returned from the convenience store shortly after, holding bags of items which Valentino rushed to ease him of. "Thank you," he said, heart fluttering as the man collected the bags from him and effortlessly carried them in one hand. "Where should I put them?" Valentino asked, eyes darted t

A crease crossed his forehead and the space between his brows as he listened inte
