Future Of The Country

Danny's POV Chadwick kept his eyes locked on mine, and I swear, the air in the room just… vanished. He didn't even blink. "You said more than just a word, Danny," he murmured, his voice sounding like gravel grinding against velvet. "Now, get off me."I didn't move. I felt like a magnet, stuck to him, and honestly, the thought of backing down felt like losing a fight I hadn’t realized I was winning. I pushed back, a defiant set to my jaw. "No. I won't."A muscle in his jaw ticked. He leaned in, his face so close I could feel the heat radiating off his skin. "You will regret it," he warned, though he didn't make a single move to push me away.I didn't flinch. I leaned in until our noses were basically touching, the tension between us humming like a live wire. "Counting on it," I breathed back.Then, just as the universe was about to tilt, a goddamn phone started ringing. It was like a gunshot in a library. Chadwick’s eyes flickered with annoyance, but he reached into his pocket and p

Danger Knocking On My Door

Danny's POV The house was silent, but it wasn't the kind of peace that lets you sleep. It was a suffocating, heavy silence that pressed against my ears like deep water. I sat on the edge of that oversized, velvet lined bed, staring at the wall, and I felt like I was disappearing.I looked at the clothes in the wardrobe again. They weren't mine. They were just… items. Props for a character I wasn't even sure I wanted to be anymore. My mother didn’t want me. My dad was just a ghost in a photo frame I couldn't even reach. And my best friend? hated everything about me. I was so incredibly, achingly alone, drifting in this gilded cage while a man downstairs played God and called me a national asset.I couldn't breathe. I needed to leave. I needed to stand on my own two feet before I completely forgot how to walk.I marched downstairs. My pulse was drumming in my throat, a frantic, desperate rhythm. I found him in the study, where else? He was surrounded by books and shadows, looking like

A Thriller I hadn't written

Danny's POV The air in the study was thick, like someone had sucked the oxygen right out of it, leaving only the scent of old paper and Chadwick’s cologne, that sharp, expensive, intoxicating smell that seemed to cling to everything he touched.Chadwick watched me, his eyes dark, hard as flint. "Well, you see why I can't let you go to Paris," he said. His voice was a low vibration in the silence. "Your stupid ex is back."The statement hit me like a physical blow to the gut. Leo. I needed to let everyone know Leo wasn't in prison anymore. I felt my hands shaking, so I shoved them deep into my pockets, my knuckles white.I walked over to Chad. Every step felt like walking through deep water. He was sitting in that leather chair, the kind of seat that looked like a throne, and he didn't even flinch. He just watched me with those piercing, unreadable brown eyes. He tapped his thigh, a sharp, deliberate sound against the leather."Come sit on me, Danny," he commanded.My heart hammered a

Obsessed With My Wife Son

Chadwicks POV The engine of the car purred like a living thing under my hands, but for the first time in years, I couldn't focus on the road. My grip on the wheel was tight, knuckles white, because the alternative was reaching out to touch him. And I knew if I touched him, I wouldn't stop.Danny was sitting in the passenger seat, completely unaware that he was single handedly dismantling my self control. He looked… ridiculous. In the best, most infuriating way."Don't you look too bright for the day?" I asked, my voice coming out harsher than I intended. It was a reflex, I had to push him away before I dragged him closer.He turned his head, that sharp, perfect jawline catching the afternoon light. "How do you mean?"I glanced over, and my brain short circuited. "I mean, you are like shining... and that gloss on your lip and your perfect brows and sharp jawline, and that blue eyes. You..." I stumbled over the words, hating how my composure fractured. "You don't seem like a guy who is

I Am Not A Trophy

Danny's POV The study was cavernous, smelling of aged tobacco, leather, and something metallic like gun oil. It didn’t feel like a home, it felt like a command center. Sitting in a massive, carved wooden chair that looked like a throne was Grandma Nana. She was small, tucked away in a wheelchair, but she held the room with a gaze that felt like a blade against my throat. She looked like a cartel boss who had seen everything and forgiven nothing. Chadwick stepped forward, his posture rigid. "Nana." I bowed, my heart hammering against my ribs. I felt like a lamb being presented to a wolf, but the wolf was my own protector. "He really is so beautiful," she croaked, her voice like grinding stones. Chadwick smiled, a real genuine smile that didn't reach his cold eyes. "Yeah, you can say that." She scoffed, a wheezing sound. "You can say that? Come on, Chad. This boy is gorgeous." I stood there, burning from my neck to my hairline, feeling utterly ridiculous. I was a prop, a cur

Cowards

Danny's POV The air in the room didn’t just grow heavy, it turned stagnant, lethal. When Nana asked if I was in love with Chadwick, the silence that followed felt like a physical weight pressing against my chest.Chadwick laughed, a dark possessive sound that made my skin crawl. "Of course he is," he said, his voice dripping with an arrogance that made my teeth ache.Miguel scoffed from the corner, a sound of pure, bitter derision. Chadwick’s grip on my hand tightened so hard I felt my knuckles pop, a silent warning to stay quiet, to stay in line. But Nana wasn't having it. She waved her hand dismissively, her eyes tracking the flicker of fear in my expression."Let the boy answer for himself," she said, her voice like sandpaper on wood. She turned that piercing, unblinking gaze onto me. "Well? Danny?"I opened my mouth, but my throat felt closed up, dry as dust. I looked at Chadwick, at the way he was looking at me like I was a puzzle he had already solved, like he owned the answer

Cut Ties

Danny's POV The heavy oak door of the study clicked shut behind me, leaving me in the silence of the living room. It was opulent, too much gold, too much velvet but all I could focus on was the steady, frantic thrumming of my own heart. I felt like I had been hollowed out. My hands were still shaking, a fine, uncontrollable tremor that I tried to hide by clutching my elbows.What the hell just happened? I stared at the intricate patterns on the rug, trying to find a rhythm to my breathing. Was I safe? Was I trapped? Was this love, or was I just a pet in a very dangerous house? I thought about my mother who didn’t have a clue that the man she was married to, the man she probably thought was her successful, busy husband, was a monster who threatened to blow his own grandmother’s head off over a boy like me. The irony tasted like copper in my mouth. Did I even want Chadwick? Or did I just want to run back to the safety of a life that didn’t involve guns and blood and burnt shipments?

Fake Dating

Danny's POV The flight to Paris was a suffocating exercise in restraint. I sat there in the premium cabin, surrounded by luxury, but all I could feel was the icy prickle of jealousy crawling up my spine. Chadwick sat right beside me, scrolling through his phone with that infuriatingly calm demeanor."Did you tell your wife you would be taking me to Paris?" I asked, the words sharper than I intended.Chadwick didn't even look up. "Yeah, she knows."He said it so casually. She knows. My stomach twisted into a knot, cold and heavy. He was still in contact with her, still playing the role of the devoted husband while he dragged me across the world. I swallowed hard, forcing a smile that felt like glass. He belonged to someone else, but he acted like I was his entire world. The dissonance was tearing me apart.When we landed, Paris was everything I had seen in movies glittering, loud, and impossibly beautiful. But I was wound too tight to appreciate it. My eyes kept darting toward the

Stuttering Man

Danny's POV The morning air in the suite felt sharp, like something was about to break. I was standing in front of the mirror, adjusting my collar, trying to ignore the fact that Chadwick was watching me. He hadn't said a word since he had come back to the room, but he was standing there like a statue, his eyes tracking every move I made."I am meeting Noah," I said, my voice sounding steadier than I felt. I turned to face him, forcing my expression into something indifferent. "He is here in Paris, part of the contest and we are going on a date."Chadwick didn't move. He just stared, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. "Why?""Why what?" I shrugged, grabbing my bag. "I am in Paris. I want to see things, be with people. Noah’s fun.""Noah is a distraction, Danny." His voice was low, a rumble of thunder. "Why do you need to date him?"This was it. I took a breath, feeling the jagged edge of the lie I was about to tell. "Because I need a partner, Chad. I am not going to be your fuc

We Are Fucked

Danny's POV Chadwick’s eyes were still fixed on the charcoal sketch, his shadow looming large over the easel. That line, you can't get me out of your head it hung in the air like an accusation. He knew. He knew he had been under my skin, in my blood, everywhere.I felt a surge of panic, but I shoved it down. I couldn't let him have this win. I couldn't let him think he was still the puppet master. Danny's owner.I stepped into his space, my hands shaking, and grabbed the edges of the sketchbook. "I can get you out of my head, Chad," I said, my voice barely a whisper, forcing it to sound bored, detached. "I just needed to get the image out on paper. It was stuck, like a glitch. Now it’s out, and I am free from the tyrant."I slammed the book shut, the sound echoing in the quiet hall. I didn't look at his face. I didn't want to see if he believed me or if he was laughing at me. I just grabbed my bag and walked out, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor.I was lying. I was
