Chapter 1:The relaxing glow of the city lights spilled through the large windows, portraying long shadows of trees and inanimate objects across the penthouse bedroom. The atmosphere of the room was thick with something unspoken, something dangerous yet so soothing. And yet, neither of them moved away. Nathan Cole sat at the edge of his king-sized bed, his dress shirt unbuttoned at the top, a glass of whiskey resting loosely in his grip. He was not drunk, but the alcohol did little to numb the weight pressing against his chest.Across the room, Ethan Rivera stood by the door, seemingly hesitant. The faint scent of Nathan’s cologne mixed with the lingering hint of the whiskey, intoxicating in a way Ethan would never admit aloud.“Maybe I should just go,,” Ethan said, his voice barely above a whisper. But he did not move.Nathan looked up, his deep brown eyes locking onto Ethan’s with an intensity that made his breath hitch. “Then what are you waiting for? Go,” he murmured, but the wor

Chapter 3The morning sun filtered through the large curtains of the Cole’s home, the sound of calm songs were playing in the elegant living room. It was a peaceful Saturday, the kind where time seemed to slow down, and for once, everything felt… normal. No businesses, no school, just people living their lives and relaxing after a tiring week. Nathan sat at the dining table, scrolling through his phone for important business updates, though his mind was not on the device and contents in front of him.Vanessa sat opposite him, sipping her morning tea, dressed in a beautiful yet simple gown, her brown hair falling effortlessly over one of her shoulders.Ethan strolled in moments later, his messy hair a clear indication that he had just rolled out of bed. He yawned and hopped onto a chair. “Morning y'all,” he mumbled.Nathan glanced up, his lips twitching in amusement. “Rough night?”Ethan shot him a look. “Something like that.”Vanessa chuckled, setting her cup down. “Ethan, how many

Chapter 5The drive home was tense. Barely a word was said as the sound of slow jazz played on the car's audio system. Nathan gripped the steering wheel a little too tightly, his foot pressing down just a bit harder on the gas pedal. His patience had gone thin, and every time his eyes looked to the rearview mirror to look at an oncoming vehicle, he caught Lilly’s lingering gaze.She was not even trying to hide it anymore.Ethan sat calmly in the backseat, his expression unreadable. Sarah, meanwhile, had the biggest smile plastered on her face. She had caught on to everything, and she was enjoying every second of it.Vanessa, oblivious to the silent events happening in the car, broke the silence. “That was a lovely dinner, wasn’t it?”No one responded immediately.Sarah leaned forward slightly. “Oh, it was fantastic,” she said, dragging out the word. “So many… interesting things happened.”Ethan shot her a warning glance, but she just winked at him.Nathan sighed, trying to ignore the

The rest of the day passed in silence.Nathan spent most of it in his study, trying to concentrate on work, but his mind kept drifting. He kept hearing Ethan’s voice echoing in his head, the words from that morning playing over and over again.“I think I might be in love with you.”It wasn’t a confession Nathan had expected, especially not from Ethan. And it wasn’t something he could easily dismiss. He felt… everything. Conflicted, flattered, confused, and terrified all at once.By evening, Vanessa had noticed his absence.“Nathan,” she said softly from the study doorway, “you’ve been in here for hours. Are you okay?”He looked up, startled. He had been staring at the same email for twenty minutes. “Yeah, I’m fine,” he lied.Vanessa gave a small, tired smile and walked in, placing a cup of tea on his desk. “I know things feel strange lately… but we’re family. You can talk to me.”He looked into her eyes, guilt pressing on his chest. “Thanks. I’ll be out soon.”She nodded and stepped o

Ethan stood at the window of his room, watching the garden below. The same garden where he and Nathan had shared so many quiet glances, where unspoken desires had turned into undeniable truth.But now… everything felt exposed.The house had become a war zone of silence. Vanessa barely looked at him. Sarah had stopped being sarcastic, which somehow felt worse. Nathan was distant, loving, yes, but cautious. Like every touch, every glance now carried the weight of judgment.Ethan hadn’t expected the secret to unravel so soon. And now that it had, he didn’t know how to exist inside the wreckage.A knock pulled him from his thoughts.He opened the door, expecting Nathan.But it was Sarah.Her arms were crossed, her gaze steady. “We need to talk.”He stepped back to let her in. “Is this where you tell me I’m disgusting?”“No,” she said. “This is where I tell you that you’re a moron.”Ethan blinked. “Excuse me?”Sarah sighed, collapsing onto the edge of his bed. “You fell for someone forbid
