Kian and his younger brother, Will, take the bus to head to Harvey's mansion. Eden asked Kian to pick up Leo as he doesn't have time to go there because he needs to stay with Olivia at the hospital.
Will just finished his dance classes and asked Kian if he could go with him as he gets bored alone at home.
They leave the bus, and both look surprised as they've never been to the fancy zone of the city. There are villas and mansions everywhere. Everything looks nice — there's greenery everywhere, and fancy cars are parked in front of the houses.
"Damn," Will whistles as he follows his brother, "That's where the lucky people live,"
"You think they're lucky?" Kian furrows a brow, "Not because the
Olivia gets discharged from the hospital today. Eden leaves the faculty as soon as his class ends to catch the bus and head there. He's not the first to arrive; Lydia and Ben are standing in front of the reception counter to pay their daughter's medical fees. Eden stops walking and watches them take care of all the papers. He thinks he should be doing this as her husband, but Olivia's parents consider him incompetent and unworthy of her.Eden sighs and takes the elevator to go to her room. When he gets there, he gets surprised to see Travis already with her. He finishes packing her bag and helps her put on her jacket. Hegulps, and a ball forms in his throat as he regrets having gone to classes. He feels like he wasted his time there when he should have been at the hospital taking care of the papers and his wife.
Hunter turns around and finds Eden glaring at him. His hand is strong, and it holds his fist so tight it's painful. "Let go of me," he mutters."I thought I made myself clear before," Eden mumbles, "Not once. Not twice.""Let go," Hunter inhales sharply, "You see, you became a lowlife when you accepted to be his bodyguard. Harvey Clarke is a slut. He sleeps around and leaves with every moving dick. How could you do this to yourself, Eden? What if he infects you? Who knows? He might have a contagious illness,"Harvey gulps and looks down, too ashamed to look at Eden. Hunter is right. He's pretty known for sleeping with a different guy every night. Every one in the faculty knows that. But what's strange is how Hunter's words bothered him now. Of course, it's not the first time they fought. Hunter alw
Eden leaves the classroom, furious, as he just received a text from Jack. The loan sharks were waiting for him outside the faculty building. He can't believe how a month could pass by so fast. It's already time to pay them.Eden runs outside and spots the black-suited men smoking in a corner. He clenches his fists and takes a deep breath to calm his anger down."Jack," he fakes a smile when he approaches them, "You always choose the wrong moment to show up."Jack takes a look at his phone, "It's the first day of the month," he mumbles, "I'm on time,"Eden rolls his eyes and takes an envelope from his backpack. "Here," he hands it to Jack, "Only two months left. I don't want to see you again after that,""Aw, won't you miss me?" Jack pouts, and his men start laughing. "Hot boyfriend you got, by the way," he smirks."Boyfriend?" Eden lifts a brow.
Henry parks the car in front of the building. The streets around here are fancy — only affordable for billionaires. There are expensive cars everywhere, and people walk in their tuxedos and silk dresses.Eden opens the door for Harvey and his friends, Dave and Sam, who just had dinner together in a five-star restaurant. He follows his boss, who wears a Saint Laurent black shirt opened to the chest, a pair of ripped black pants and leather shoes. His outfit highlights his tattoos and his dark eyeliner. He looks irresistible, and everyone agrees as all eyes were on him since he stepped inside the club.Eden gets surprised when he realises it's not a gay club. Different couples from diverse sexualities are dancing or having a drink. Harvey is like a magnet attracting all men and women to his territory. Before they get to their table, at least two or three of them offer him a dr
Kian finishes studying at the faculty library and packs his bag before heading to the cafeteria to grab himself a coffee. It's a Friday night, and he thinks he'd be wasting it if he heads directly home. He takes his coffee and leaves the building. He was about to call his best friend when he remembered he was with his boss tonight. He thinks perhaps he'd like someone to look after Leo, so Kian calls Will as he doesn't have any dance class now. Kian takes the bus and heads to his favourite nightclub in town. He heads directly to the bathroom to fix his hair and put on some perfume. He finds some couples kissing at the door, and he slightly pushes them to get out. As soon as he steps on the dancefloor, girls start looking at him. They're wearing short dresses with lots of glitter on their eyes and red lipsticks. They're beautiful, Kian thinks, but a woman would never attract him. It's a fact. Instead, he searched for men. Most of them are dancing with their gir
Will takes the stairs to Eden's apartment. The last time he came here with his brother, Eden fought with Olivia because Leo didn't stop crying, and they didn't know what was wrong with him. After that, Kian told him to take it as a lesson to always take his precautions and never get a woman pregnant at his age.Kian was right. It was difficult to take care of a baby when you're this young — and worse, as a student. But Eden proved himself more than capable of balancing both. He may always look exhausted, but he's nearly done with his bachelor degree, and Leo is a healthy kid.Will knocks on the door, expecting to hear Leo's cute voice asking who it was. Instead, the door opens, and the last person he imagined he would meet appears.Will freezes, and his eyes open wide when his old frien
Heavy eyes, hammering migraine, a sour taste inside his mouth, Harvey has a hard time waking up this morning. He groans and stretches his arms toward the window, where a warm sunray is peaking. He opens one eye and checks his phone to see what time it is. It's earlier than he thought. Harvey sighs and rubs his eyes before he sits on the side of the bed and pours a glass of water. The cold liquid feels like a refreshing wave inside his throat. He looks down and realises he's still in his clothes. He smells like alcohol, sweat and smoke from the theatrical fog of yesterday's party.Harvey lazily walks to the bathroom and runs the shower. He gets rid of his clothes and stands under the warm water. He lets out a sigh of relief and starts rubbing his body with the gel. It was a routine for him. He used to wake up this way every morning as his friends pushed him to party with them all the nights of the wee
Eden arrives at his apartment and finds Leo watching cartoons. He's already awake while Tyler and Will are sleeping in the corner of the couch, snuggling each other. He chuckles and takes off his shoes. Before Leo shouts, Eden puts his index finger on his lips, and the kid giggles and runs to him without making a sound. He takes him in his arms and kisses his head, "How was your night, buddy?" he whispers."Good!" Leo whispers-shouts, "Tyler and Will are so fun! They played with me all night, and Tyler cooked the best pasta ever!""That's amazing!" Eden exclaims, "I'm glad to hear it,""How was your night, papa?""Not as good as yours, buddy," Eden lets out a weak chuckle, "Now, let's make us some breakfast. Will you help me make something for everyone?"Leo excitedly shakes his head and follows his dad to the kitchen. He picks some eggs from the fridge as instructed and puts pieces of bread in the toaster.Eden puts on the apron and starts fr
