Chapter 3

In a bright coloured painted room,a boy who was very beautiful as a girl laid down playing with his toy cars. A woman walked into the room room and grabbed both his hands while glaring at him from where she stood.

• Mom? *

Steve looked at his mom confused while she frowned looking at the toy cars in his hands.

• Ain't you an adult? *

his mom asked snatching the toy cars away. Steve flinched nodding his head slightly.

• Now you're the step-brother of Ash the son of the most wealthiest man in the country, And you shouldn't be seen playing with such toys.

She voiced out as she threw the toys in the dumpster. Steve teared up as he backed away from his mom. His mom fumed with anger.

• Baby Steve ... from now on we're going to live in luxury and you shouldn't behave pathetically, I married him because of his wealth,you shouldn't ruin this for me. *

.She forced a smile making Steve tremble with fear,for he feared his mother,she was the type who will do anything to get what she want. At the same time Ash was walking over to Steve's room and overheard their conversation. He thought they both had planned from the very beginning. He barged into the room and they all went silent,looking at each other.

• I am my father's only son and I'll inherit every assets of his. You'll get nothing from me. *

Ash slammed the door as he walked out of the room. Steve's mom fumed more with anger as she looked at her son.

• This is all your doing right?, even if i have to sell you to live in luxury,I will. Giving birth to you hasn't rewarded me with anything,I don't see the meaning of your existence. From now on you're going to be a slave to me. *

Ash developed hatred for Steve and his mom,He was set on driving them out of his life and that of his father. He bullied Steve when his father wasn't around,abused him,locked him in dark basements. Steve was always bruised but when asked he always told a different story from what actually happened to him.

Steve never blamed Ash for whatever Ash does to him,his mom was to blame for it all,for she wanted to ruin a perfectly happy family who took them in.

• please let me go! Let Go, I don't wanna go in there. *

Steve cried as Ash dragged him.

• Who are you trying to seduce by acting all weak and vulnerable?Just shut up and stay inside *

Ash angrily said to him

• Please let me out * Steve begged and bang on the door till he fainted.

• Somebody come and save me...save me * Steve thought.

Ash opened the door in a haste it went quiet, Steve was taken to the hospital. Aah's father was very furious when he heard Ash has been bullying his younger brother.He made Ash promised not to ever do that again,from then Ash was to protect Steve.

Since then Steve and Ash mostly spent time together. Steve started developing some feelings for Ash because of how nice he was to him,he always protected him. Steve couldn't believe Ash would be this nice to him. He never blamed Ash for bullying him,for it was his mom who brought about the hatred. Ash's father became very ill and passes on. After his death, Steve's mom became very anxious for she wasn't given any inheritance, everything was giving to Ash and Steve,but Steve hadn't taken the inheritance from Ash.She had to find a way to receive some inheritance. She invited Ash's aunt and convinced them to plan an arranged marriage between Ash and Steve,since Aah was gay and he was now very closed to Steve they didn't see it to be a problem.

She convinced Steve saying Ash had agreed to the marriage and threatened him, Steve was very pleased to hear that and he agreed. Ash had no say in the matter since his families had already agreed and planned the marriage. Ash didn't spend the night after the marriage, Steve thought he had something to take care of that's why he couldn't spend the night with him. The next morning,the maid informed Steve of Ash's return.

• Knock*Knock *

Ash ,the maid said you've returned........

• no response *

I'm coming on Ash. He walked in the room and found Ash asleep in the couch,he extended his hand to touch Ash's face, Ash suddenly opened his eyes.

• Who said you could come in? * Ash angrily asked him

• I...... * Ash cut him off before he could say anything.

• you're showing the same face as back then,as if I did something wrong to you again. *

Ash grabbed Steve's hand tightly,

• It hurts *

Steve yelped out in pain. Ash released his hand, Steve fell and crashed into the framed pic of Ash's father.

• I... I D... Didn't mean it,it was an accident..... * Steve quickly said to him

• Thank God it's okay *

Ash thought. * Smack * He slapped Steve across the face.

• Who are you to come in here?,Who allowed you to touch my stuff? Do you really hate my so much,Your mother did really married my father for his wealth. You really are her son. *

Ash said and sneered at him

• N...No, I don't, I really didn't mean to break it, I don't want the inheritance. *

• Shut up * Ash ordered.

• Even if we're married,don't think in the slightest that I'll love you even a bit. *

Ash angrily said to him

• Mom said you wanted the marriage,that's why I agreed. I thought you loved me back..... *

Steve defended himself

• ha ha ha ha ha ha a bunch of slutty liars * Ash thought.

• I'll make your life a living hell dear Wife

he smirked at Steve.
