Julian

I returned to the quiet house that evening very tired, as usual. Luckily for me, Dante had done a good job with the files that Mr Crowe had almost nothing to criticize about, unlike Priya and Owen’s.

Owen had even invited me over to a party that evening, he said ‘It was to blow off steam’ but it wasn’t really my kind of space, even though I was willing to try, not just at the moment.

The conversation I had heard between Dante and another man on the phone took over my memory earlier that

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 22

    DanteI let out a deep breath once I realized that I was now alone in the living room. I stood there motionless, for a few minutes before adjusting the cuffs on my shirt and dragging my tie to loosen it.There was something dangerous about Julian, maybe because he wasn’t loud, or because he was always calm… Well, not always, but most of the time. He was soft, perceptive, and entirely aware of my strength and what I can do, at least to an extent. That quiet submission, that wide-eyed, silent acceptance of my dark world, -he knows something is up, he just doesn’t know what it could be, at this point, I was prepared for the worst if he ever finds out,- was far more addictive than any challenge could ever be. It made me want to protect him from the world, and take him completely for myself.“Dante” I murmured to myself, “Wake up”I removed my suit jacket from the arm chair and relocated to my study.I could still hear Julian’s soft, trembling voice echoing from the living room.“So what?

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 21

    JulianComing back to the office was almost like a nightmare, I didn’t know what to expect, especially since I was going to see Owen today, after what had happened earlier.The office was busy as usual when I got there. I was immediately greeted by Priya who seemed extra jovial this morning.There he was, at his desk. I had no idea where else I was expecting him to be at, but my heart skipped a beat when I made eye contact with Owen. It was brief and short because Oqwen immediately looked away when he saw me. I looked around to see if anyone had noticed the awkward moment but thankfully, everybody was busy minding their own businesses.I walked over to my own desk and settled down. I looked around, I hadn’t seen Claire yet. Maybe she was running late. I was tempted to ask Owen, but I restricted myself, saving myself from further embarrassment from him.Mr Crowe wasn’t in the office today but he had his assistant give us some tasks to do. Over an hour had passed and Claire was nowhere

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 20

    DanteI woke up at exactly 5:00am and within twenty minutes I was in my private gym blowing off steam I guess. It was the kind that I couldn’t explain. I just know I needed the physical strain to clear my head.I focused on the large punching bag in the middle of my small gym and hit it fiercely. Only that this morning, it did nothing. My mind was everything but clear. Every time my knuckles struck the leather, my mind recalibrated to the precise weight of Julian pressed against the wall of my study less than forty-eight hours ago. I could still feel the sharp dig of Julian’s fingers into the nape of my neck.“Fuck” I muttered to myself. I caught the heavy bag with my two hands and held it tight as my chest heaved up and down. I closed my eyes, in an attempt to force my breath to slow down.I had spent over ten years mastering the art of absolute control. I had done things without any form of emotion or ever letting my heart beat rise above normal level. But here I was, a twenty-two y

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 19

    JulianA full day had gone by and the tension in the penthouse had settled into an uncomfortable, electric hush. Neither of us had spoken a word about the previous night. Dante had treated the entire incident as a closed file, retreating behind his usual impenetrable wall of cold professionalism or whatever it is it was.I, however, was done playing with Dante’s rules. I had another thing to think about. The kiss I shared with Owen. I was shocked that Owen had even considered kissing me at all, but then he looked like he had regretted it and a huge part of me felt bad. I wondered how I’d be able to face him once I get to the office when the new week starts.I paced around the house for a good thirty minutes. Dante and I were both home for the weekend but Dante has locked himself up in his study all day, all night even. I had barely seen him since he manhandled that man from the club the other night.It was a sight I couldn’t quite get out of my head. I don’t know if it was because he

  • Uncle, ruin me   Chapter 18

    DanteI couldn’t wrap my head around why I had tried to intimidate Julian that way. I could conclude that the poor boy was scared but the faint redness on his cheeks said otherwise. In fact, it gave me some sort of satisfaction, which was weird.I wanted to go check him in his room but I decided against it. I needed to give the boy some space after literally being two inches away from him five minutes ago.Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang. Confused, I asked the security to check it out.He came back in with two medium sized brown paper bags. “Delivery for Julian" he said.Oh right, Julian had ordered food earlier.“Julian” I called out, but there was no response. I didn’t bother to call again.“Place it on the table. I’ll take it to him soon” I told the guard. He did as I said and left the living room.I knocked on Julian’s door with the paper bags in my hand. “Julian, your food came already” I called out but no response.“If you don’t wake up to get it, I might have to treat m

Why would Dante feel the need to threaten someone, in that tone for that matter.Being too tired to fix up anything to eat, I decided to order in. I wasn’t sure Dante would want it but I didn’t bother calling to ask anyway.“Aha” I heard from the hallway and I nearly jumped from my feet. “You’re home”I turned and it was Dante, all dressed down in a tight white-coloured tank top and grey sweatpants, very different from the way he was suited up this morning.“And

    DANTE'S POV I pretended to be busy with my car when Orabella came to call me for breakfast. Knowing Aldo, he would still be sour from last night's altercation.“Tell the boy to meet me here once he's had a bath,” I said to Orabella's retreating figure and she nodded.After almost an hour, he

    DANTE'S POV Julian was a pretty boy. He had always been but after fifteen years, he looked too delicate to be involved in the family business. I was glad Orabella was trying to make him take another path. His lashes fluttered as he looked up at me briefly. I could tell he was skeptical about l
