Chapter 21: Petty, I know

NICO: When I get home, I find Sasha on the couch. He looks like he's been home for some time. He also looks rough, which is a very odd sight.I don't say a word to him as I make a beeline for the stairs. “Nico” his voice comes, making me stop in my tracks. “Where have you been?” he asks. I give him a once-over to make sure he's okay, judging by the razor I saw earlier, I can't be too sure of his activities before I came home.“Why do you ask?” Why is he asking? It's not his business.“I couldn't find you when I came home” he says in a low whisper that doesn't sit well with me. Something is up. I just don't know what.“Well, I went out”He immediately sits up. “With who?”Wait what?OhI get how this probably sounds to him.But do I want to clear it up for him though?Nah“None of your business” is what I tell him.I may have miscalculated my moves because he springs up in the blink of an eye. He looks different. Exhausted is the word. And that's not how Sasha is. He's always too

Chapter 22: Of All People, Him?

ALEKSANDER I'm pissed. That much is obvious.So I may have stalked Nico to wherever this is. He's here to meet his Lover. Funny because, I kind of remember telling him that I'd end basically anyone else he so much as breathes around.Unless this person is unimportant, maybe Nico wants to see what I can do. Maybe that's why he kissed him. Well, he chose the wrong day to make that discovery because dear old dad called me this morning to not so subtly remind me that I have to be ready to end Nico when the time comes. I came as camouflaged as I could. I mean, I don't really care if he sees me, but best if he doesn't. I'm wearing a black hoodie, grey pants and a cap. Too out of the ordinary? Maybe. Oh well, small sacrifices.I left immediately I saw their lips connect. He kissed the guy, with the same lips he kissed me with. My damn lips. And the kiss didn't even look appealing; if anything, it looked tedious. But they kissed anyway.And that's unforgivable. He will get punished for it

Chapter 23: Like A Knife Through My Chest

ALEKSANDERI've faced blades, bullets, knives and men twice my size, none got to me.I never knew how it would feel like to have someone tear me open with nothing but a look. But seeing Nico with that storm in his eyes and the way his chest rises like he's holding back something lethal, it undoes me.“Hey, what's wrong?” my voice is calm and collected, nothing compared to what I feel inside.He says nothing and looks away from me, trying to hide his vulnerability. “Hey, look at me. Nico just f*****g look at me”He finally does, and it feels like my heart is ripped out of my chest when his eyes meet mine. I did this. And the worst part is, I don't know what exactly it is that I did.“I hate you" he chokes out.The words cut me, but I don't show it. I have to pry more, so he can tell me what I did. “Hate me all you want,” I say quietly, steadying my voice even though my insides are caving in. " Just tell me. What's wrong? Is it because I tied him up? I can release him if that's it”“N

Chapter 24: The First Fracture

NICOI can't breathe. His hands are all over me, touching me in places he shouldn't, making me feel both shame and discomfort. My chest feels too tight. And I can't, I can't breathe. “S..stop. stop.” I croak.“Shhhh…My sinner.” His hand squeezes my dick, but I feel more trapped than aroused.“Please..please.”“Do not beg me, sinner, beg the Lord your God for forgiveness.”How am I supposed to pray when I'm uncomfortable in my own skin? “Please, I'm sorry” I hear the sound of it before his fist connects with my face. And then, almost simultaneously, his hand caresses my cheek.“This is penance, my sinner, I am merely serving my purpose”His voice does nothing to relieve me. This is wrong. I don’t want this, but why can't I move? Why can't I tell him to stop?Pray that you will be good….Pray to the Lord…Pray for forgiveness….I thrash around, trying to kick him, push him off me, anything to escape this. “Nico”I jolt awake, lungs clawing for air, my heart slamming so hard it hurts

Chapter 25: Brush Your Teeth, Sinner.

NICOSasha and I talked till the sun started creeping in. Yeah, that long. And honestly? I don't even remember when I fell asleep. One minute we were talking, the next I woke up to the feeling of a warm skin pressed against mine.His arms were draped over me like they belonged there.I guess I was so overwhelmed by the sheer joy of having him wrapped around me that I immediately crawled out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom. Careful enough not to wake him.The bathroom lights are too bright, so much so that they make my eyes sting. But I'd rather be draped and bathed in the light than be trapped in the darkness. It keeps me from slipping back in.Toothbrush in mouth, I stare at myself and replay last night's event. Not the nightmare part. Nah, that doesn't bother me much anymore. It's the moment when Sasha held me in his arms and whispered soothing words in my ears to calm me down, the look on his face when I couldn't get myself to breathe. Yeah, that lives with me now.I'll

Chapter 26: Ghost In The Crowd.

NICOWhen Sasha finally pulls out from the kiss, he rests his head on mine and stays there. Moments like this always make my heart heavy and my stomach flip on itself, because it feels so… intimate. I never knew how it would feel for someone to want me so much. The thought that this might not last hits me, but I shove it away because, even if it doesn't, I'll never be able to forget what it feels like.“I have a meeting, stay put” he says in a voice that tells me he doesn't want to attend the meeting, he doesn't want to leave. “Okay. Daddy,” maybe it's a bid to get him to stay back here. He stares at me, eyes blazing and lips slightly parted.“Behave”, he whispers, and I roll my eyes as he walks out the door.Now what?His office is so neat, it physically repels me. Shit, I'm bored. What am I supposed to do now?Ugh…I make a split-second decision to explore the firm. A personal tour.I step out of the office and glance to the left, then right.Left, right. Left, right. Left, right.

Chapter 27: I Know About The Priest

ALEKSANDER The taste of copper fills my mouth when Asher drives his fist into my jaw, the metallic tang blooming as if to remind me that I'm still alive.The f*****r knows that I don't want bruises on my face so he's hell bent on giving me a few.“My bad” he grins. He'd been my best friend since fourth grade. I met him on the first day of resumption looking rough with snort running down his nose. He'd asked me to hit him hard. At the time I didn't know what could make him want to hurt so much that he practically begged me to punch him. I did. Amateur at that time but he was content nonetheless. That was the first time I'd ever felt truly needed, useful, anything but an heir to an empire. I loved the feeling, and we never stopped after that day.Over the years, he would call me when he needed to be roughed up and I called him when I needed an outlet. When we were sixteen, my

Chapter 28: Confession.

ALEKSANDER For a moment, Nico just stands there, mulling over my words. I did say that I knew about the priest, but I'm sure that whatever I think I know doesn't compare to the actual truth. His lips part, and I think he's going to deny it or laugh it off. But then, in a flat tone, he says, “You don't–" his throat works, “you don't know what he did to me" "Then tell me." My voice is low and steady, though inside I'm seconds from exploding. His hands shake as he pulls them from mine and looks away. He's still hesitant, and it fucking guts me because I want every part of him. Every detail, every flaw, I want to have a part in it. “He ruined me, Sasha. He–” Nico swallows hard, jaw trembling. He exhales a shaky breath, then continues, “I was sixteen at the time, and he was our family priest. I trusted him enough that I

Chapter 29: Screaming 'Uninvited Guest'.

ALEKSANDER “I hope you are prepared?” my father asks, leaning back on his chair like he owns the air. Which he practically does. “Prepared for what? I'm not a fucking wizard” I don't want to be here, I'd rather be doing literally anything else in the world than sit here with him. Plus, I have something very important to attend to and being here is a waste of my time. So yes, I am pretty pissed. “You don't fucking speak in that tone to me,” he warned. “Why am I here?” “A little birdie told me that there's something going on between you and the Vescari spawn. I want to believe that it's a mere rumor… and not the truth” A little birdie. Someone has been snitching, one of my guards no doubt. I know it's not Boris because he's more loyal than a dog, I can't say the same for the rest of my guys. I'll fish the person out later, now I have to deal with my dad. “What if it were the truth, what would you do?” I taunted him. I probably shouldn't be asking him that because I know very w

Chapter 30: Who Knows About The Warehouse?

NICO My sister being here should be exciting, hell, it was exciting the day she arrived, which was two weeks ago. But I'm starting to feel like she has a reason for being here, said reason is to cockblock. For the past two weeks, Sasha and I have not had a single moment alone, and to say I'm sex starved would be a f*****g understatement. She’s everywhere. On the couch when we’re trying to watch a movie, hovering in the kitchen when Sasha corners me, knocking on my door the second things get quiet. I love her, but Christ, she’s driving me insane. “Eat something,” she whines, sliding a plate onto my lap like I’m five and incapable of feeding myself. “I’m not hungry, Sorel.” “You’re never hungry these days.” She narrows her eyes at me, the same way Ma used to when she knew I was
