A Proposal
All The Pictures Used Here Are Not Mine, The Credit Goes To The Real Owner.
They all have such pretty faces. They look so kind, that people think that they are great people. But they don't know, sometimes, even Devils wear the most beautiful face to bewitch innocents. And those innocent people become their victims, but most of the time, there is nothing they can do.
Luciano, it means light. But there is no light in his life. It is only filled with sadness and darkness of despair. Losing his parents at such a young age, and then being adopted, but later unloved by his adopted parents, nothing turned out to be good. As if, he is cursed.
Luciano, he was named by his parents. As he bought the light of happiness in their life. But as they were returning home from a picnic, they met with an accident and passed away. Luciano survived as his mother shielded him with her body, taking the impact on herself and dying on the spot.
Now, the poor boy, just passes his days, being ignored and neglected. He just stares out of the window, which is the only window in his small bedroom. Just looking at the sky, at the birds, and at nature. Wondering, when he will get his deserved happiness.
Luciano leaned his back on the chair, as he looked out of the window with his blank eyes. It was as if, he was emotionless, more likely, as if he can't feel emotions at all.
He brought his knees close to himself and hugged them, he rested his cheek on his knee and continued to look out.
Why didn't he think of escaping? Actually he did, but the thought of where he will go, stopped. Even he doesn't want to stay somewhere, where he is unwanted.
Luciano's eyes turned into stones. He forgot when was the last time he cried. He stopped crying, long ago. His heart still sometimes hurts, but he doesn't care anymore. No matter how harsh words they say, he ignores them. No matter what, they did love him, for two years they loved him like his own son. He is grateful for that, he was happy those two years. He was happier when he found out he was going to have a little brother or sister. But now, his little brother, doesn't really care about him, but at least he doesn't say harsh and bad words about him.
It is so hard to find somewhere you actually belong, where you will be loved.
Someone opened his room's door, well yes, no one here bothers to knock on his door before walking in, but the maids do, sometimes. It was his so-called mother, who had come.
Naraina Solace (MC's mom)
Come downstairs, we need to talk.
Saying that, she left, not bothering to close the door. Luciano stood up from his seat. He took deep breaths, and then he took slow steps out of his room. To be honest, he feels safer in his own room, he feels as if, it is the only thing which belongs to him in this manor.
As he walked down, the floor boards creaked, he tried to make fewer sounds, but he couldn't. He saw his parents and his brother who was scrolling through his phone, sitting on the couch. He climbed down the stairs, with his eyes down. He took his seat on a single sofa, not wanting to sit beside anyone.
(I will write his thoughts like this *__*)
Luciano Solace (MC)
*Now, what do they want?*
He wanted to roll his eyes and scoff at them, but he used all his will to not. He just stared at them, more likely, glaring at them.
Eiden Solace (MC's Dad)
There is something we have to say, to both of you.
Eiden looked at his REAL son with his gentle gaze and with a slight smile, but his gaze turned sharp and cold once he looked at Luciano. Luciano clenched his jaw and took deep breaths to calm himself.
Luciano only stays calm on the surface. Like an ocean, he may be calm from the outside, but a lot goes in his mind all the time.
Eiden and Naraina looked at each other. They left a deep breath. Jace felt the tension in the air, he placed his phone down and cast his gaze on his parents.
Eiden Solace (MC's Dad)
W-We...
Eiden Solace (MC's Dad)
We received a proposal.
Jace knitted his eyebrows as he looked at his father. He spoke out his thoughts, which was also Luciano's thought.
Jace Solace (MC's brother)
What proposal?
Luciano leaned forward. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Eiden and then at Naraina.
Eiden left a deep breath. While Naraina sat beside Jace and held his hands.
Naraina Solace (MC's mom)
We didn't tell you, but your dad's business wasn't going very well, these days.
Luciano Solace (MC)
*So what? Gosh.*
Eiden cleared his throat. He averred his eyes, not looking at them. While Naraina shifted her gaze to her lap, she nervously played with her fingers and rubbed her thumb on her palm.
Eiden Solace (MC's Dad)
The business, who helped me to make my business stable again, has a marriage proposal for his son.
Jace Solace (MC's brother)
Can you please explain everything clearly!!
He sounded frustrated. Even Luciano was feeling annoyed.
Eiden Solace (MC's Dad)
His son, is gay.
There was it, an eerie silence.
Sunflowers
Why is it, that whenever someone feels frustrated and broken, they drink? Can't they distract their minds by doing something else? Don't they know, that drinking is injurious to health? Of course they know.
A tall man with jet black hair and beautiful green eyes. As if, his one gaze was enough to make a girl fall head over heels for him. His facial features were just like a woman's dream. He had a tall and muscular build.
He slammed the empty glass on the table, so hard and it could have broken. He left a deep breath, and in frustration he looked at the two men in front of him.
Donomie Luther (ML)
Like the fuck!
The two men shifted their gaze at him. One man, who was wearing a full suit as he just came from a business meeting, took a sip of his drink, and the other man, who looked much younger than the other two, just rested his chin on his palm and smiled.
Donomie Luther (ML)
Why does he need to choose my partner!? I am not a kid!
One man sighed as he checked the time on his expensive Rolex watch.
Seth Luther (ML's brother)
It's already midnight, Don.
Donomie poured himself another glass of alcohol and chugged it down. His throat burned as the liquor went down. He glared at Seth and said,
Donomie Luther (ML)
I don't care.
The younger looking man sighed as he twirled the glass of whiskey.
Orion Luther (ML's Brother)
I don't get it, why are you drinking over this matter. You can just say no to the marriage if you don't like the guy.
Donomie glared at Orion. He gripped the glass and said,
Donomie Luther (ML)
Shut up.
Maybe he doesn't want to admit it, but his younger brother does have a point. He groaned.
Donomie Luther (ML)
Fine. Let's see what happens!
Seth left a deep breath, as if in relief. He stood up and drank the little bit of liquor he had in his glass. He put his hands in his pockets and said,
Seth Luther (ML's brother)
Then, stand up. Amara might be waiting for me.
Donomie, left a breath. He stood up too, followed by him, Orion did too with a big smile. Orion shrugged and said,
Orion Luther (ML's Brother)
At least I got a drink.
The other two brothers ignored what he had said. Donomie and Seth went to pay the bills, while Orion just stood behind them, waiting. As some girls checked him out, he just winked at them, making the girls laugh. Again, he followed his brothers out of the club, the booming music faded down as they drove away from the club.
Seth was the one who was driving. While Donomie was sitting beside Seth, Orion was in the back seat. Donomie looked at his older brother and said nervously with a hint of fear in it,
Donomie Luther (ML)
Father won't force me into this marriage, right?
Seth Luther (ML's brother)
Of course he won't.
They drove for about half an hour, and stopped in front of a grand mansion, which looked like a castle. Maybe, it was a castle. It was as if, the time had stopped in that ten acres of land.
The three brothers stepped out of the car, and walked inside. Seth immediately climbed up the stairs and went into his room, probably to check on his four-year-old daughter and wife. While, Orion also went to his room.
Since the hall was empty, with only the maids, Donomie also ran up the stairs and walked in his room, closing the door with a thud behind him.
Maybe, he was just thinking that if he says no to the marriage, his father will force him to marry, as his father was indeed waiting for this day. And then again, he did get heartbroken by a girl in his high school, so maybe his father doesn't want that to repeat. Or maybe, his father trusts that boy's father.
Donomie sat on the bed. He sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair.
Come on! His father's friend has two sons, so, he can choose. And if he doesn't either one of them, he can say no.
He saw two pictures on his bed. His mother had given him the pictures, but he didn't look at them. He just threw them on the bed. He took the pictures in his hands and took a look at the picture of the two brothers.
Both of them were good looking. But for some reason, he liked the boy whose picture was taken with the sunflowers.
Donomie Luther (ML)
His eyes are beautiful.
