登入Japheth I never knew how Aaron knew a lot of things about me. But somehow he did. Even the things that the real me— Jared— liked. It bothered me yet it made me feel warm and loved.But I knew it was too good to be a coincidence. What if he already knew my true identity and was just playing along to hurt me too?That would be messy.Regardless of it all, I still felt content. I mean, I got an Aston Martin, my favorite flavor of cake and a movie date with him. It made me feel a little selfish but what could I do?“Feeling good, love?” Aaron asked as we got into the car and I nodded with a soft smile. “Had fun? I wish I did something more for today.”“Are you kidding? Do you even realize what you did?” I asked with a scoff of disbelief as I leaned towards him. “I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for making my birthday so beautiful even though I felt like I didn't deserve it.”“You deserve everything, love. You're perfect. And I'll do everything and anything for you.” He whispered, his f
AaronJapheth 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
JaphethEvelyn stared at me with wide eyes, obviously stunned by my confession. I was beyond stunned too, my own words replaying in my head like a mantra.“You're g-gay?” She stuttered out in shock and that snapped me back to reality. I ran my hand over my hair, confusion washing over me at the wor
Japheth I stood frozen, my eyes still wide from the shock. Aaron had hugged me like his life depended on it. And before I could say a word, he bolted. Probably to go after his father. But I couldn't get over the fact that he had hugged me a minute ago.I couldn't even understand why I had stood up
AaronMy mind raced as I stepped on the accelerator, my car speeding down the road without caring that I could get flagged down by officials. I knew I was in deep trouble. I also knew Japheth could be in deeper trouble because of me. He wouldn't have needed to protect me and defy Father if I didn't
Aaron.I arrived back home faster than expected, my heart thumping hard in my chest as Jace stood by the door waiting for me with a grim expression on his face and I knew something was wrong.“Am I in trouble?” I questioned with a yawn as soon as I got out of the car and he gave me a small nod that
