Noah Noah knew it was going to be a shitty night and a shitty party the moment he saw both Tristan and Logan stepping in through the front door. And he was damn right because the two bastards were continuously hitting on Haru. Thank God Haru didn’t seem to take notice. Noah could admit though that just watching them invading Haru’s space and claiming the boy’s attention was pissing him off. Although he tried his best to behave and not make a fucking scene due to the simple fact that Nicolas was around and that the man was his boss, and he couldn’t afford to do anything stupid that could lead to him losing his job.“You okay?” Nicolas asked. “You look a little...off.”Noah chuckled. “Sorry.” He shifted his gaze to Haru who was getting up from his seat and heading to the door. The boy was slipping out. That was Haru’s habit. He liked to slip away during a party sin

Haru I poked my head out of Aiden’s bedroom door a moment later, and after noting that Noah’s door was shut—either because he was still snoozing away or he was out at the gym—I rushed down the hallway toward the laundry room at the back.After putting my wet pajamas into the washing machine, I dusted off my hands and then turned on my heel, heading out the door again. I was nearly at Aiden’s room when the sight of Noah appearing from the other side made me stop in my tracks.He was wearing his gym gear, and he looked sweaty from his workout. I could see that his muscles were bulging out more than normal. He must have been working hard.I wanted to greet him a good morning but found I couldn’t. I suddenly felt nervous, and my throat felt dry like dust. What the heck?Noah didn’t greet me either. He simply stared at me as he walked toward me.I was frozen in my spot as he pass

Haru I didn’t leave Aiden’s room that Sunday, and I didn’t join the others for breakfast, lunch, or dinner either. Aiden brought the meals for me to have in his bedroom, which was nice. I didn’t want the others to see how horrible I looked, although Jess did pop in to see how I was getting on before she left. Apparently, Aiden told everyone I had gotten myself quite sick. But I guessed Jess suspected something was up when she saw my red and swollen eyes. Since it was just the two of us in Aiden’s room, she said, “You want to tell me what’s going on?”I shook my head.She was quiet for a moment. “Okay, but I’m all ears when you’re ready.” She sighed. “Noah left, by the way. He took his luggage with him, and Aiden told the others he’ll be staying at Connor’s.”That got my interest, and I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. Did

Aiden “Did we go too far?” Mason said, drawing Aiden’s attention to him. “I think we really hurt him this time.”Aiden raked his fingers through his blond hair, frustrated. Fuck! He hadn’t a clue things could go from pure heaven and amazing to hell in just two weeks. Not only was he having family problems at home, but a shitload of issues seemed to have popped up out of the blue at work, too.First it was a client who canceled on him and then a deal gone wrong due to miscommunication, leading to a lot of time and energy spent on fixing it. Then a second client dropped him, and a third after that, which meant he had lost a shitload of would-be commissions from sales. Only a few days ago, he had lost one of the biggest real estate deals of the year, with that client pulling out in the last minute without any reason whatsoever and offering the deal to a rival company. Peter had said his luck see

Haru I was still upset with Aiden and Mason when the knock came at the door.“Haru?” It was Reo. “Can I come in?”I sighed. “Yeah.”I pulled myself up and sat, resting my back against the headboard of the bed as Reo opened the door and then walked into the room. He came to sit on the side of the bed and reached out to ruffle my hair.“You okay?” When I didn’t answer him, he said, “Want to confide in your brother?”I shook my head. “There’s nothing to confide.”Reo chuckled. “It’s not nothing. You didn’t come down for dinner, and you’ve been withdrawn in the last two weeks. It is about Noah? And now Aiden?”I cast my eyes downward. “I don’t want to talk about it.”Reo sighed. “All right. I won’t force you to do anything yo
