Lahat ng Kabanata ng Blood And Oath (BL): Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Inside a large hall, about two hundred or more students sat, staring at the man dressed in a neatly ironed charcoal suit. His jet-black hair was smoothly brushed back with a few strands falling over his face. Adrian Vale calmly wrote a sentence across the whiteboard before placing the marker down."Leadership," he began, "isn't about making the smartest decision. It's about making the right decision even when every option comes with a price." His voice was deep and steady, echoing through the hall. No one dared to interrupt him.He was the only lecturer no student dared to go against because unlike the other lecturers, Adrian never raised his voice, he was calm and his composure alone commanded attention. "Imagine you're the CEO of a company facing bankruptcy," he continued. "You have enough funds to save only one department. Which do you choose?"Many students rose their hands. In the end, he picked a female student sitting in the first line."The sales department," the lady answer

+18.....Ethan's breath hitched. The mattress dipped under Adrian's weight as the taller man leaned in, one knee braced between Ethan's thighs. The room smelled of cedar and clean linen, the only light a low amber glow from the bedside lamp that caught the sharp line of Adrian's jaw."I asked you a question," Adrian said, voice low, almost lazy. His fingers hovered at the hem of Ethan's shirt, not touching yet, just close enough that Ethan felt the heat of them.Ethan swallowed hard, the alcohol still swam in his head, but the fear from the bathroom had burned off, replaced by something hotter. "You don't even know my name," he murmured, his voice was hoarse."Doesn't matter." Adrian said, his gaze flickering down to Ethan's mouth. "I just know what you need."Ethan's laugh came out broken. "You think you can fuck my ex out of me?" He asked him. "Ridiculous."Adrian's mouth curved, slow and sure. "Ridiculous? Well, I think I can make you forget how to say his name."He finally touc

As Adrian stepped into his small apartment, he could not fully take off his mind off Ethan.He unloosened his tie with one hand while he dropped the books he was carrying in the other hand on the table. He walked straight to the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of whiskey, then grabbed a glass and poured in some of it. Then, he grabbed the glass and went over to the window, he gazed down at the street while sipping the alcohol.Seconds later, the world around him faded and what came next was the scene from last night. Everything played slowly, giving him the feelings that it was happening at the moment.After some time, he shook his head and pulled himself out of the thought. The thought of sleeping with his student didn't just sit right with him. Adrian let out a long breath before emptying the remaining whiskey in his glass.He had always drawn a clear line between his personal and professional life. All these years he taught at the university, he never looked at any student b

Ethan waited until the meeting was over. Lectures and the board of directors walked out of the Dean's office. Evelyn also came out and walked toward her son. Adrian was the last to come out, he was carrying a box containing his documents. Despite the whispers and low curses, he held his head high as he walked through the crowd. "You deserve to be punished!" "Evil man!" "Serves him right!" The moment Ethan saw him, he forgot the fact that he was in public. "Mr. Adrian!" He called. Adrian stopped in his tracks the moment he heard the familiar voice. Evelyn wanted to stop Ethan from going but before the word would leave her mouth, Ethan was already gone. She could only watch helplessly as her son rushed over to the other man. "Mr. Adrian," Ethan called as he neared Adrian. "What are you doing here?" Adrian asked with a slight frown. "Mr. Adrian, I know you didn't do it. I believe you," Ethan told him with every assurance. He had at least expected a positive reply from Adrian

Earlier.... Adrian was sitting in his room when one of his men, the on he had out in charge of watching over Ethan walked in looking rather worried. "Boss." Adrian looked up from the newspaper in his hand, meeting the man's worried expression, he frowned. "What is it?" "Boss, that bar-boy took him away." Adrian sprang to his feet. "To where?" "The store rooms," the man replied. Before he could continue, Adrian rushed out of the office. Present... Standing at the door is an angry-looking Adrian. He was staring furiously at Noah. "That's enough!" He roared and rushed inside. He shoved Noah aside, causing the boy's back to hit the crates. Then went close to Ethan. "Hey..." Ethan was drunk. His eyes were almost closing, even though he didn't know what exactly was going on, he felt Adrian's presence. As the strong arms wrapped around him, he opened his eyes halfway. "Adrian?" He mumbled. But the man didn't respond and lifted him up in his arms. He was abo
