Clara’s smile was dazzling—l–her eyes, not so much.“Well, well, well…” She glided toward Liam like she was on a fashion runway, her heels slicing through the tension in the air. Her voice was sweet as syrup, but the venom beneath it sizzled. “What a surprise to see you here, dear brother, I doubt you got on with your life.”Liam gave a lopsided smile, folding his arms casually. “Didn’t know crashing a dinner was frowned upon now. My bad.”Clara leaned in slightly, still smiling, a hand resting lightly on Liam’s shoulder as a photographer passed. She posed for a second before hissing, “You’re not invited. What the hell are you doing here?, mom and dad shouldn't even know you're here, you've been disowned remember.”“Well like I said before, I was disowned a long time ago but right now I'm here, getting a front row seat to your performance,” Liam murmured back. “Don’t worry. I won’t upstage you. I know how hard you worked for this role.”Julian stood frozen a few steps behind, his thro

Jasper stood up slowly, his movements calm and deliberate. He walked toward Liam, stopping just in front of him. “Liam,” he said softly, reaching out to touch Liam’s arm. “We are enough. But Julian needs to realize that himself.”Liam jerked away from Jasper’s touch, anger and hurt swirling in his chest. “He won’t. Not unless we make him.”Jasper frowned, confusion crossing his face. “What are you saying?”Liam’s eyes narrowed , a plan forming in his mind. “We make him choose. For real this time. No more pretending, no more games.”“And how do you suggest we do that?” Jasper asked, skepticism evident in his tone.Liam’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “By giving him a taste of what he’ll lose if he marries Clara. By making him jealous as fuck.”Jasper raised an eyebrow, understanding dawning on his face. “You mean…” He trailed off, letting the implication hang in the air.Liam nodded. “Exactly. We make Julian see that we don’t need him. That we can be happy without him.”Jasper was q

“Yes, sir,” his assistant replied, handing him a cup of coffee. “I took the liberty of ordering your usual.”Julian took the coffee gratefully, taking a sip as he walked towards his office.As he entered, he was greeted by the sight of his desk, covered in papers and files. He sighed heavily, knowing he had a lot of work to catch up on. His mind was in a storm.He sat down at his desk, opening up his emails. There were dozens of messages, all marked as urgent.He started reading through them, trying to focus on the words. But his mind kept drifting back to Liam, wondering what he was doing.He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. He needed to concentrate on work, not on his personal problems.He spent the next few hours working diligently, trying to get through as much as he could. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake the feeling of emptiness.At 11am sharp, his assistant knocked on the door. “Mr. Collins is here to see you, sir.”Julian looked up, nodding curtl

Liam led Jasper to the bedroom, his body trembling under Jasper’s touch.Jasper undressed him slowly, kissing every inch of skin he exposed. Liam arched under him, desperate for more.When Jasper finally entered him, it was slow. Gentle. Liam cried out, not from pain, but from relief.“Harder,” he breathed.Jasper moved faster, but he was careful, his eyes on Liam’s face, making sure he was okay.“I’m okay,” Liam said, pulling him closer. “Don’t hold back. Just…”Jasper understood.He moved faster. Harder. Liam gasped, his hands clutching at Jasper’s back.“Like this?” Jasper asked, his voice rough.“Yes,” Liam breathed. “Just like this.”Jasper held him close, thrusting deep, giving Liam everything he needed.Liam’s voice was a mix of moans and sobs, his body shuddering with pleasure.“You’re safe,” Jasper said into his ear. “I’ve got you.”Liam’s release came quick, his body tightening around Jasper, who soon followed.Afterward, they lay tangled together, sweat cooling on their ski

The morning sun streamed through the light curtains of Liam’s bedroom. The soft sound of birds outside mixed with the gentle rise and fall of breaths from the two men tangled under the sheets. Liam stirred first, shifting slightly, then settled again when he felt the warmth of Jasper's arm wrapped around him. He smiled faintly, feeling safe for the first time in a long while.Jasper’s phone buzzed from the nightstand. He reached over lazily, careful not to wake Liam. His eyes blinked sleepily as he read the message.Dad: "Dinner tonight at 7PM. Clara and her parents are coming. Time to sit down and discuss the wedding. Don't be late."Jasper sighed and turned to look at Liam, who was now awake and blinking at him."Morning," Liam whispered."Morning," Jasper replied, brushing a strand of hair from Liam’s face. "Got a message. You need to see this."He handed the phone over.Liam read it. His face changed. "Your family invited you to dinner with Clara and Julian? And my entire family"
