Prologue

Bryce Walker is the only child of the towns lawyer and successful businesswoman. Outside,people view the family as perfect. Bryce was automatically labeled as rich spoilt boy but no one knows what happens within closed doors.

Bryce’s main aim was to finish high school and go off to college in hopes of becoming successful so he could get away from family drama.

He hoped,he really did but drama was in his blood- it didn’t matter where he was,the drama would always find him again.

He’s starting to fall for someone he isn’t suppose to, Cain Blackwhile the right hand man of Alexander Colletti, Cain has never wanted something or someone so bad like he wanted Bryce.

Bryce once saved Cain during an attack,making Cain think that maybe,just maybe, Bryce could save Cain from himself. The self harm.

They needed each other. Cain needed saving and Bryce needed to be safe

“Yo!Jordan!pass the ball man!” I yelled at one of my teammates as he threw back the football and I caught it.

Coach was off in the hospital and we were having casual football training after school. Most of them in my team,had taken off their shirts and I did do as the girls from the cheer leading squad oogled our bodies not from far away.

A month had passed since that bastard Cain had broken my arm. I couldn’t play for a whole month but that didn’t stop me from working out-sure it was fucking difficult but I managed.

Caine happens to be the right hand man of my best friend’s husband Alex.

Soon practice was over and I walked over to the benches getting my duffle bag. I pulled out my water bottle and poured it on my head before I grabbed a vest that showed off my muscular biceps.

I was talking to Jordan-Will’s ex boyfriend.

“So have you heard from Will lately?” He asks trying not to look desperate for information.

“He’s aight. Just too lazy to come to school but don’t worry, he’ll be here for graduation” I told him half lying. The truth was Will had given birth to my godsons Roman and Rylee. Yup birth as in they grew on his stomach or some shit-then they did a c section on him.

“Dude,I’m so fucking horny. I need some man” one of my other friends Troy groaned beside me.

“Why don’t you go for that Beverly chick. I heard she’s an easy catch or something” Vance says

“Nah bruh, I’m not into  fucking circus clowns man” we all burst out laughing but my laughing seizes when I see that fucking arm breaker waiting against my car.

“Oh fuck!” Jordan says looking at Caine.

“Damn, if I weren’t straight I’d totally tap that. Ooff look at those tatooes!yo Bryce,he’s checking you out man” Troy says and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

When is he NOT looking at me???

I decide to ignore him and continue to walk with my friends even though my car is parked the opposite direction……right next to his gray range rover.

“Bryce?can we talk?” He asks suddenly and all the talking seizes.

“Bye Bryce” Vance rushed out basically sprinting to his car.

That dork.

“See you later bruh” Troy says dragging a drooling Jordan away.

What great friends I have……(note the sarcasm).

I sighed as I turned around and walked to my car making sure to shove my shoulder into his as he grabs my elbow.

“Bryce, I wanna talk” he says as I harshly grabbed my arm from his hold. Wouldn’t want it broken again,now would I?

“Then talk” I said walking to my car and dropping my duffel bag in the boot of the car.

“Bryce…..I….I want to apologize” he says and I turned to look at him.

“I could care less about that Caine. I’m over that shit, but what I don’t understand is why you can’t leave me the fuck alone?” I said harshly cause I knew quite well my dad had been suspicious lately and been sending people to spy on me if I’m doing some illegal shit……like getting into bed with this sinfully attractive man in front of me.

Snap

Bryce

!

I tell myself and shake my head. “….yce? Bryce?are you OK?“he asks touching my arm comfortingly and I pull my arm away gently.

“ look Caine, whatever the fuck you got going on thinking that you and me can work out, its not gonna happen. I’m sorry but I’m straight“ I tell him and he scoffs before he chuckles darkly. He steps impossibly close, I take a step back only to be met by the side of my car.

I feel myself start to breath heavily when he brings his face close where his minty breath is fanning my face.

“Are you trying to convince me or yourself,hmm?” He asks, wrapping his arms around my waistband and pulls me closer as he breathed down my neck. I became hard as he gripped my hard on.

“This is mine” he growls and oh fuck that felt good.

“N-no I’m not” I spat back and he chuckles sending chills down my skin.

“You see that’s where you’re wrong baby boy. You are mine. Mine

. Do you hear me?you became mine that minute you saved my life back at the school attack not long ago. Just give me a chance baby, I promise I won’t bite…..yet“ he says and go to push him away but he had other plans, he takes my hand and puts it over the thing that was poking my upper thigh.

“You feel that baby?you make me feel like that….. You are the only one that makes me feel like this so I want you too cause I know you want me too” he says as I felt his hard on.

Fuck, I could’ve mistaken it for a rock or something. He’s big too.

“In your d-dreams” I said and he tilts my chin up and I decide to play along as I started palming him through his pants.

“Fuck” he groans slamming his arm over my head as he breaths down my neck.

I really hate how he’s like an inch taller than me.

“You like this?do you dream of this?” I asked in his ear whispering as I palmed him harder.

“Y-yes….. F-fuck yes” he says grabbing my chin and claiming my lips.

Bryce(2)

I ran a hand through my hair wincing when pain had erupted through my head.

Fuck!dad went too hard….again.

So apparently I have a left black eye, bruised upper body and my wrist is dislocated. My ribs are no doubt bruised deep cause every time I move them, it hurts so much I start to feel my breath come out in pants like a heart attack patient.

Well, I guess I should expect that cause he used a fucking baseball bat to beat me the fuck up.

I pulled on the jacket over my bruised body and put the umpteenth ice pack on my face as it didn’t swallow and stuff, but it still had that black spot over my cheekbone.

My lips weren’t spit so that’s good. I moved outve the comfort of my bed and rang up Will’s dad, Dr Carters.

“Dr Carters speaking” I hear his usual business friendly tone say.

“Hey Dr C. Its Bryce” I said.

“Hey Bryce, what can I help you with?” He asks.

“I…..I fell down the stairs, and might’ve bruised my ribs, can I come over to take a look at it?I also think some things wrong with my wrist” I said as there was shuffling movement in the background.

“Um…sure, do you wanna come around now?” He asks and I nod only to realize he can’t see me.

“Yeah. I’ll be there, thanks Dr C” I said and end the call.

I pulled on trainers adidas black jogging pants, the white SLAY hoodie jacket because I was in no mood to dress up and stuff.

I pulled on a pair of running track Nike shoes and left my room seeing my egg donor sitting by the dining room looking at herself in the small pocket mirror she always carried around…

God I fucking hate them…

I tried not to limp too much as I reached my car parked outside on the pavement.

I got in and drove off to school.

My fucking escape from this hellhole.

•°•°•°

It was around recess time when my phone vibrated in my pocket, I fished out the iPhone and checked to see an unknown number.

Frowning, I answered it. “Hello?” I asked.

“Bryce. Its Caine. Where are you?” He asks. How the fuck did he get my number.

“Um school?….how the fuck did you get my number?” I asked him after answering his question like a question.

“Can we meet up for lunch?” He asks ignoring my question and I look over to my friends. If I go to my friends, they’ll ask where I got the bruise from,which I can easily lie.

But Caine, I just…..I couldn’t find myself lying to him.

“Um…..sorry can’t do today,or any other day for that matter” I said hanging up as I walked over to my group of friends.

My phone rings again and I don’t look but pick up anyways.

“Caine,I’m not having lunch with you so stop calling me!” I yelled only to hear crying in the background.

I pull the phone away from my ear seeing Will’s name on my phone screen.

“Fuck” I cussed loudly whispering to myself as I put the phone back in my ear.

“H-heeeeyyyy buddy” I said nervously.

“Don’t ‘hey buddy’ me. I want details” he says in a gruff voice.

“What?pssh no! T-there’s no details…..at all” I say trying to sound convincing.

“1. You’re a bad liar when it comes to me. 2. You’re stuttering 3 you pssh ed me which does happen when you lie” he says as a matter of fact tone making me groan as I turn the opposite direction from my group and walked down the hallway ignoring the flirty glances I get from the girls in the cheer squad.

I walked to the bleachers and took a seat. “Its complicated” I said through the phone as I pulled out my lunch box full of nice chocolate donuts.

Fuck, I love this shit.

I start eating while talking to Will. “But you gotta admit, he is pretty good looking…” Will says and I go silent.

Yeah

,

maybe

a little

….

I wanted to say but chose not to because I….I just don’t wanna get hurt…at least not anytime soon.

“Bryce?you still there buddy?” Will asks and I sighed.

“Yeah. Yeah, I’m still here” unfortunately I added I’m my mind.

“Look, whatever it is, just….figure it out OK?oh and also you should come over for the boys baby shower. I can’t have it without the godparents” fuck!godparents!as in two people.

As in plural which means…..yeah, Caine is the godparent from Alex’s side while I’m from Will’s side.

“OK, yeah sure. I’ll be there” I said.

“OK I’ll see you then. Bye Bryce, just….figure things out between you two OK?sometimes its good to be dumb and follow your heart. I did, and look where it got me…..” He says and I smiled.

This kid…..always knows what to say.

“I’m not ready to pop babies out of my butthole yet, and with Caine especially” I joked back as he laughed then it stopped.

“Wait a minute—– I never said anyone’s name….AHA!!!so you do like him, and admit it you wanna have his babies” he says and I blushed shaking my head as I ran a hand over my unbruised red tinted cheeks.

“Wait!what??!Will, NO!god no!” I said still blushing furiously.

“Aha sure……” He says smugly.

“No!no!you got it all wrong” I said and he laughs from the other end of the line.

“ ‘no no you got it all wrong’ “ he mimicked me making me glare out at the football field pretending its Will’s fat ass.

“Come on Bryce, even a blind man can see through this shit. You like him while he’s head over heels for you” I blushed as I hide my face in my hoodie jacket coated arms.

“That’s not true” I groaned.

“Yeah yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that. Oh shoot!Roman?bubbles no biting papa, or else no more mumum” I hear him scold and damn he sounds like his dad when his dad is stern.

“Will don’t you dare punish my godson or I bet on your left ball you won’t like the consequences” I said as I think of how someone would punish a mere infant.

“I know. You spoil my kids so much they get away with these things. Ow! Roman!, baby, no. Papa says no. It means no” Will says before scolding my poor little godson.

“Give him a kiss for me Will” I said and he replies with an OK, before I cut the call.

As I get off the bleachers, I glanced casually to the parking lot but my eyes widen when I see Caine getting out of his car and pulling out his phone.

My phone rings and I silent it. “Shit shit shit” I said as I’m a little clumsy with silencing my phone. Caine glanced over the bleachers and was me.

He starts walking towards me as I ran off inside the school.

No one can see my bruises……especially Caine!

I go through the theater exit and out the parking lot seeing Cain entering the school cafeteria with the principal probably looking for me.

I made sure I turned off my phone and GPS as I raced to my black sleek Volvo.

I got in and drove off.

Phew….that was close.

I turned on Eminem ‘Till I collapse’ I sped up through the road to the hospital as I parked in the parking lot and got out.

I got myself checked in the hospital already having an appointment set up with Dr Carters. My best friend’s dad,whose also like the father I never had.

I sat by the long wooden bench waiting for my name to be called and soon it was.

Soon Dr Carter called me in and I was told to sit on the metal table.

“So, how did you fall again?” He asks curiously seeing the extent of my injuries.

“I…..I think I was sleepwalking or something” I lied as he nodded.

“Well….I don’t think you can get this many injuries from falling down the stairs-sleepwalking or not. So I’m going to ask you one more time Bryce, what really made you get these injuries” he says sternly his usual casual friendly vibe dissipating into thin air by now.

“I…..I got into a fight” I said. Well, it isn’t technically a lie but it wasn’t the whole truth…

“I’d understand if you just told me you got into a fight Bryce. Its fine,really. But unfortunately, your injuries aren’t exactly fine right now. Your wrist is dislocated so we need a cast on that for at least 5-6 weeks prior until I check on you next time, I have to send you to a kiro to fixate the structure of your left lower ribs. Your nose might also be broken and your lips are bust on the side. Not forgetting the ample bruises all over your body “ he says and I nodded as he wrote a few things down on paper before he walked over to the cabinet and pulled out a bunch of pills and stuff. He puts them in these clear plastic zip lock bags and quickly wrote a few things on the sticky white tag thing on the front of the bags.

He handed them to me. “This should do for now. I’m sending you to the kiropractitioner to check out your wrist and ribs. Call me if you have some complications and whatnot. I suggest you lay off the sports until you’re fully healed,understand?” He asks and I nod getting off his table.

“Thanks….” I mumbled as he nods opening the door for me and I walked to the kiro guy.

••••••

I walked outve the hospital, my left wrist in cast form. My hair is messy, there’s a stitch bandaid over my eyebrow as I felt a bit better after the appointment.

It felt odd seeing my car parked up front as I got in. “Fuck!” I screamed seeing Caine seated at the back seat when I glanced through the rearview mirror.

My heart was racing in my chest as this fucking lunatic scared the shit outve me. “Jesus Christ, Caine?what the fuck are you doing in my fucking car?!!” I yelled at him as I turned around to face him.
