The next morning, Sebastian's secretary announces the presence of Youssef Saad, and Sebastian sends in the Lebanese.- “As-salamu alaikum” Mr. Sebastian Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you. What can these poor Lebanese do for you?- "Alaikum As-Salaam." Sit down please - Sebastian said, pointing to the chair opposite his.The man sits smiling. If Sebastian knew how to salute him correctly, he would probably enjoy doing business with him.- I would like to propose a deal. It will be very profitable for you. A perfect business for your skills. - Sebastian says with a smile.The Arab straightens up in his chair, giving the CEO total attention.- I wanted you to acquire me a company.- Imagine that you don't want it to be known that you are the one to acquire it?- Exactly. I want you to buy all the stocks that are available and do your best to buy those that are not available. I want to be the majority owner.- It won't be difficult – he says with a smirk – what's the company name?- Hans

The weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays passed slowly.Theo dedicates himself solely to studying, training, and having a sporadic coffee with his friends, Sek or Sarah, during the week. Friday night, Sebastian arrived and they made the most of their time together, making love, taking walks, not even caring about the irritating paparazzi who insisted on shooting flashlights in their faces. On Sunday afternoons, Sebastian would say goodbye to Theo, and they would part ways, until Sebastian returned the following Friday.Newspapers and magazines are gradually losing interest. They were still together and nothing seemed to bother them. With no scandals to report, the number of paparazzi was reduced to 2 or 3. One of them, a young adult who must have been about 22 years old, was Theo's most persistent follower.One morning when Theo went to visit William, the young paparazzi followed him, and Theo, tired of so much flash, approach him.- You still don't get tired of taking pictures

- Mom, what were you doing at Theo's house?- Me? I didn't go anywhere. - Catherine responds to her son.- What do you mean you didn't go anywhere?- What did that boy tell you? You won't believe him above your mother, will you?- Mom, I just saw you on television entering Theo's building. Theo didn't say anything. Way wore you there?- Nothing, I told you. I just saw him. I was curious.- Mom. Don't fuck with me.- Language Sebastian.- Fuck the language. Answer me at once.- I don't accept that kind of language. - she says and hangs up the phone.Sebastian tries to call her back, but the phone is off. She was certainly going to make the old excuse of having run out of batteries.Sebastian was getting irritated. He had to talk to Theo. He takes the PC and sends an email to his secretary to postpone the next meetings, and packs to go to Cornell early.A figure jumps the wall that kept the apartment complex cut off from the rest of the city. He avoids the security guards without making

William is at Theo's door at 7:20 am. He hadn't even taken a bath and had dressed in the first thing he'd picked up. He knocks on Theo's door, and hears nothing.He knocks on the door harder, not caring if he wakes up any students in the apartments next door.A shuffling noise is heard, and a few seconds later, Theo opens the door.What William sees in front of him makes him immediately realize that Theo already knew what had happened. In front of him was a boy who seemed to have aged 10 years, red and puffy eyes from which tears fell like rivers, a body that shuddered with each sob, a pajama that looked more like something out of a cat fight.When Theo looks at William, he drops to his knees.William did not open his mouth. He puts his hands under Theo's armpits and forces him off the ground. Closing the door, he drags Theo to the couch, sits down beside him and lets him fall against his chest, soaking his thin shirt.After a few minutes, W

Theo wakes up in a hospital bed and doesn't remember how he got there. They had put an IV in his arm and let him rest. When straining his memory he remembers what the doctor said, his eyes filled with tears.Nancy opens the bedroom door slowly, so as not to wake Theo, and when she sees him sitting on the bed crying, she runs to hug him.- Theo, Sebastiam needs you strongly. If you stay in that state, he doesn't feel your strength pulling him back to life.- Nancy, I'm going to lose him. I just found him and I'm going to lose him.- He's not going anywhere. Stop crying - she says, grabbing him by the shoulders. - I'll call the doctor. You will rise up from this bed and you will be strong. For you and for him. I know that you are very young, but I also know that you are capable.Theo nods and Nancy leaves the room for a moment, returning with a nurse and the doctor.- How are you feeling boy? You scared me a lot. – the surgeon says.He decided to stay and assist Theo.- I'm fine - Theo
