LOGINAaronJapheth had been acting strange for a few days now. Asking random questions about betrayal and lies, and I wouldn't lie; it bothered me.What if he found out that I've been lying to him all these while? That I was involved in something he so desperately hated?Would he leave me? Hate me? Run from me?It made me overthink. All the freaking time. Whatever nightmare he had last night made him run from me and I wondered if it was because of what Matteo did to him. I still needed to make that asshole pay for what he did.Damn it.“Are you ready for your surprise, love?” I asked softly and the way he held my hand tightly in fear made my heart break. But he smiled nevertheless and nodded.I slowly took off the blindfold from his face and he blinked in confusion. He didn't seem to understand for a second until his eyes caught sight of the decorated car in front of him and he gasped.“What…” He turned to me with wide eyes and I smiled, taking his hand as I pulled him to the car.“Well,
Japheth “W-what truth?” I asked shakily as I tried to sit up but he held me back down. He looked quite disappointed as he stared at me, making my heart pound harshly in my chest.“Why do you keep lying to me?” He asked again and I let out a shaky breath as I looked around.This had to be a dream. I wanted to wake up immediately. But even when I pinched myself, nothing happened and I even winced in pain.“I'm not lying to you…” I whispered, not knowing what else to do as I tried to move again but his gaze darkened as he leaned towards me.“I don't forgive liars and backstabbers, professor.” He muttered coldly and my heart flew. “I love you but I can't keep you around anymore.”“What?” I asked in horror as fear seeped into my body and I tried to push him away but he simply grabbed my hands, pinning me back down. “What are you doing, Aaron? Let me go!”“Getting rid of a potential threat. You.” He whispered and then brought the pillow down to my face. “I'm sorry… I can't risk it anymore.
Japheth I had flinched so hard when the knife nearly touched me but then I felt a hand on my shoulder, dragging me out of whatever the fuck just happened.“Love, are you okay?” I glanced at Aaron in confusion mixed with horror before looking down at his hand to see that he had a butter knife in his hand.I looked behind me and there was no one there. Did I actually just imagine Aaron killing me?“I'm fine…” I whispered, rubbing my forehead gently and he placed the blunt knife on the table, sitting beside me.What was wrong with me?“We can go to sleep if you're tired. You've had a long day.” He muttered, patting my back gently and I nodded, unable to argue.I watched as he placed the cake in the fridge and then carried me to the room. He insisted on helping me take a bath since I was still injured, and I couldn't say no, so I agreed.“Tell me if I accidentally touch where it hurts okay?” He muttered softly as he gently scrubbed my arms and chest with the sponge and I nodded.My hear
Japheth “So you wanna quit the mission?” Stephen asked and I sat up. “You know it's not that easy, right?”“I can't end it if I wanted to, can I?” I muttered in despair as I let out a sigh. “I think I have the wrong target. Aaron isn't the real heir, Matteo is. Why can't I just arrest the real heir instead? Aaron is…”“Aaron is what? Innocent?”“Yes.”“You've been blinded by love.” Stephen tsked in annoyance. “There's more to what is going on than what you're seeing.” He stated and I frowned in confusion.“What do you mean?” I asked, playing with my fingers nervously and he went silent for a while. “Stephen.”“Are you at his house right now?” He asked and my throat ran dry as I let out a sigh.“I am.”More silence that made me so nervous and worried.“Goodnight, Japheth.” He said and without waiting for my response, the call ended.Damn it.I let out a sigh of despair, wincing in pain as I dragged myself out of the couch, wondering how long Japheth would be gone for.It was past 12 a
Japheth With shaky fingers, I took out my phone, grateful that it wasn't as damaged as I thought it would be. But I definitely needed a new phone, the screen was awful to look at.Aaron glanced at me as the car sped down the road and the phone finally stopped ringing, making me let out a sigh of relief. I jolted slightly when the phone started to ring again and this time, I swiped red, wincing when the screen tore my finger a bit.“Are you okay?” Aaron asked, slowing the car down and I immediately nodded. “Shouldn't you take the call? Whoever it is is probably worried about you.”“It's no one important.” I lied, shoving the phone back into the small bag. “Are we there yet?” I asked, changing the subject and he was silent for a moment.He looked like he didn't believe a word I had said and it made my heart pound in my chest. “We're here.” He finally said as the call slowed to a stop. He got out, inputting the pin that I remembered clearly to be my phone number before returning to th
JaphethOh no. How the hell did it take me so long to realize that if my phone was discovered, it could ruin everything?“Did you by any chance get my phone?” I asked even though I knew that was a stupid question. He probably didn't even know where my car was. “The police didn't let me get close to your car when I arrived at the crash.” He replied and only then did I let out a sigh of relief. “Why?”“Nothing, I'd just like to inform Stephen that I got into an accident in case he's worried about me.” I muttered and the moment his face darkened, my lips thinned into a line.“Why are you always hanging out with him?” He said with a frown as he walked out of the hospital, oblivious to the stares we got from others.“Because he's my friend, don't be silly now.” I said with a roll of my eyes as he helped me into the passenger seat that was stained with my blood but I ignored it.I should probably wash it out for him but knowing who he was, this shouldn't be new.I couldn't help but think a
Japheth Aaron ran his finger up and down my spine, earning a whimper of pleasure mixed with pain as I kept my face buried in the pillow. I was so hard that it hurt so bad. This was not how I had planned for tonight to be, nor did I actually expect him to win the bet.I didn't need any reality chec
Japheth “It's not a date. It's not a date. It is definitely not a date.”I slumped to my bed with my hands on my head and a frustrated expression on my face. Aaron said it was a date and ever since he hung up, that has been the only word in my head. I have never been out on a date, what would I ev
Aaron“It's the middle of the night, Aaron. What do you want?” San asked, his voice tired and mixed with annoyance. I simply snorted and yawned before adjusting my pillow under my head.“Matteo found out about Japheth,” I muttered.“What? How? Did Jace tell him? How could he? After I made him promi
Santiago's POV I was buzzing with excitement. After I ended the call last night, I could barely find sleep. The thought of having Jace in my house for two whole days without interruption or unwanted attention made me want to jump off the roof and scream in excitement.It was bright already and I'v
