Under His Control I Hate Lies
Kale’s POV“Where are you right now?Jace’s voice came through the phone calm and low, the kind of calm that always made something in my chest go tight. I was still standing on the dark street with the taste of the storage room dust somehow still in the back of my throat and Nuel’s eyes stuck in my head. The folded paper felt heavier than paper had any right to feel.“I’m just walking,” I said. It came out thinner than I wanted.There was a short silence on the other end, long enough for me to hear my own pulse in my ears.“Come home.”Not a suggestion. Not a request. Just those two words and then the line went dead.I stood there for another few seconds staring at the dark screen before I forced my feet to move. The walk back felt longer than it should have. Every streetlight seemed too bright and every car that passed made my shoulders pull up toward my ears. I kept thinking about the way Nuel had looked at me when he said Jace would notice the second I started acting like someone
Under His Control What is He?
Kale’s POVI didn’t sleep.Jace had dropped me at the penthouse and driven away. The elevator ride up felt longer than usual. When the door shut behind me the place was too quiet. Too clean. I dropped my bag by the couch and just stood there for a minute, listening to the silence.The folded paper was still in my jacket pocket.I lay on the bed fully dressed and stared at the ceiling until the light outside started turning gray. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the alley again. The flickering security light. The scars cutting through Nuel’s eyebrow and down his neck. The way his voice stayed steady while he told me Jace collected people.I kept replaying the moment he looked at me. Not like I was some random kid who stumbled into his past. Like he already knew exactly how this would go.I got up before the sun fully rose and showered longer than I needed to. When I came out, I put on my own clothes and left the expensive shirt folded on the bed.My phone stayed quiet all morning. No
Under His Control Cracks
Semi finals Jace’s POVI pulled up in front of the penthouse and killed the engine.Kale sat in the passenger seat with his bag between his feet, staring out the window like he was already somewhere else. The city lights moved across his face in broken lines. He had been quiet the entire drive.“You did well today,” I said.He gave a short nod. “I didn’t have much of a choice. I’ve been missing lectures just to keep up with the sessions.”I turned toward him. “Then stop worrying about lectures. I’m here to handle everything.” My hand settled on his thigh. “Just like I love handling your body.”He didn’t smile. He didn’t lean in the way he usually did when I said things like that. Instead he sat still, eyes fixed somewhere past the windshield.I reached over, cupped the side of his face, and leaned in to kiss him.He paused.His mouth didn’t meet mine right away. There was a half-second of resistance, small but clear, before he let the kiss happen. It was short and not the kind he usua
Under His Control Closing in
Kale’s POVThe studio was quieter than usual when I walked in.There were assistants rushing around. No music leaking from the booths. Just the low hum of the air conditioning and the soft glow of the monitors left on overnight. I had come early on purpose. I needed space to think without Jace’s hands or Noah’s threats or another fucking message lighting up my phone.I pushed open the door to the main control room and stopped.Jace was already there.He sat in his usual chair, black shirt sleeves rolled up, coffee in one hand, scrolling through something on the large screen. He looked like he’d been there for hours.“You’re early,” I said.He didn’t look surprised to see me. “So are you.”I dropped my bag by the couch and tried to keep my voice casual. “Didn’t think anyone would be here yet.”“I could say the same.” He finally turned to face me. His eyes moved over my face, then down to the clothes I was wearing. “You didn’t come back to the penthouse last night.”My stomach tightened
Under His Control Nuel
Kale’s POV“Kale.”The voice came from the far end of the alley. It was low and steady. Like it already knew I would stop walking the second I heard it.I froze.The single security light above the dumpster flickered, throwing broken shadows across the brick walls. My phone was still in my hand, Red’s last text glowing on the screen. “You’re right on top of it.”I didn’t answer. My throat felt tight.The figure stepped forward into the weak light.He was taller than I expected, broad through the shoulders and solid enough to make the narrow alley feel smaller. Dark skin, short dark hair, and a black polo stretched across his muscular frame. He looked around twenty-eight, maybe a little older. Then I saw the scars.A thin one cut through his left eyebrow. Another ran along the side of his neck and disappeared under the collar of the polo. Smaller marks marked his knuckles when he flexed his hands at his sides.He stopped a few feet away and looked at me like he had been waiting longer
Under His Control Tracking the Stalker
Kale’s POVI couldn’t keep ignoring it.The messages kept coming, always at the worst times, always knowing too much. After the sticky note in my dorm I stopped pretending it was just some random creep. Someone was watching me. Someone knew about Nuel. Someone was inside my life far enough to walk into my room and leave a warning on my laptop.I needed answers.I sat on the edge of my bed with the lights off and scrolled to a name I hadn’t called in months.Red.He picked up on the second ring.“Yo,” he said. Loud music thumped in the background. “If this is about money I already spent it.”“It’s not about money.”The music got quieter. “Okay. You sound weird as fuck. What’s wrong?”I stared at the wall. “I need a favor. A real one.”“Speak.”“I’ve been getting messages from an unknown number. They know shit they shouldn’t know. About a studio I work with. About me. About someone who used to be signed here. I need to find out who’s behind it.”Red went quiet for a second. Then he laug
