Episode 17

Tiago

These two weeks without my friend have been a nightmare. I thought being close to Ivan for a while would be good, that he could get to know me better and maybe even like me a little.

But Ivan has turned into a cruel, tyrannical monster. He's been like this a few times before when he fights with his secret lover, but it never lasted more than 3 or 4 days. It's been 2 whole weeks that he's been making everyone's life hell.

I thought I'd be happy if he broke up with that guy, but seeing him like this breaks my heart. You can see how much he's suffering, and not being able to do anything to help him is killing me.

Ivan

Damn you, damn you Vladimir Romanov!

15 years, exactly 15 years that idiot strung me along, deceived me, and made a fool out of me. I dedicated 15 years of my life to this relationship, thinking that one day he would acknowledge me. He said it was difficult to come out in our world, and that lasted a few years, then it was his wife's death, and then his troubled children.

He bought us an apartment. I thought it was for us to live together, but it ended up just being a place for us to have sex. I never even spent a whole night there. Two weeks ago, I found out he was in town and decided to surprise him. I don't have a key to the apartment, but since I've been coming here for over ten years, the doorman let me up.

When I arrived, I went straight to the bedroom, took a shower, and put on lighter clothes. I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for him when everything started to fall apart. I heard the door open and was about to leave the glass on the table to greet him when I heard another voice coming from there.

"Vlad, darling, I'm tired of this tiny apartment. When are you going to give me the mansion you promised me?"

"Soon, darling, be patient!"

"But we've been together for six years, Vlad, and I'm finally a widow now. I'm tired of only seeing you here, I want you to acknowledge me, big bear."

"Alright, darling. Enough time has passed since Grant passed. I think we can do this without too much gossip. Take care of everything, yes, use the card I gave you."

My heart stopped beating for a second, and I felt like the biggest idiot who ever lived on the face of the earth. He's been with her for six years. But now that I know, I want to see this through to the end. I sent him a message saying I missed him. He replied affectionately, as always. I asked him if we could go to the movies together. Sometimes I would ask things like that hoping he would agree and start to get used to the idea of ​​us, but he always found an excuse. Now I know why. I called him, I thought he wouldn't answer, but he did, and in front of her. How many times has he done that?

"Hello?"

"Hi love, how are you?"

"I'm fine, and how are you?"

"I'm fine, but I miss you. We haven't seen each other in days."

"Me too, how about we schedule something for tomorrow?"

"How about the movies?"

"You know that's not possible."

"When will this end, Vlad?"

"Soon, I'm working on it. I just need you to be patient, soon everything will be the way you want it."

"Okay, Vlad..."

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

And he hung up, and then called the girl into the room, the room I thought was ours.

When I heard the bedroom door close, I left through the front door and went to the mansion. I went into the training room and punched the bag until I made a hole in it.

I thought I was an intelligent man, a strategist, but the truth is, I'm a tremendous idiot, who let this imbecile play with my feelings and make a fool of me. How many times has he betrayed me? How many times has he laughed in my face?

I suffered, suffered for the betrayal, for the loss, for the wasted years. I suffered because he never really loved me, I suffered because he not only broke my heart, but also my pride.

There was nothing that could change the way I was feeling. I immersed myself in work, in training the house security. I don't want any of them to be caught off guard, at least not in a fight. I know I'm being hard on them, but I can't help it. I need to get all these bad feelings out.

When all the men were already exhausted, Dimitri arrived. Shit, why does he have to look so much like his damn father? I wonder if one day he finds out, will he forgive me? Not just for hiding from him that I was his father's lover, but also because all this started when his mother was still alive. God knows that woman was the devil himself, but she's still his mother.

If I lose Dimitri's affection because of that wretch, I swear I'll kill him myself. I never interfered when Dimitri spoke ill of his father because I know Vlad wasn't a perfect father.

The truth is, Vlad wasn't very good at relationships. I know he is a man full of prejudice, pride, and arrogance. But I still loved him. I thought that after he acknowledged me, with my love and with our life together, he would learn to be a better man. Remembering that only made me feel even more idiotic. I thought what we had was so special that it would make him change. I can't believe I was so naive, I acted like a love-struck teenager in high school, while he treated me like a cheap prostitute.

I was good for fucking him, but never to be seen in public with him. He wanted me ​​between his legs, but never by his side. He never intended to acknowledge me, he just wanted to use me ​​as long as he could. I just want to see how long he can last without me. The mighty Vladimir Romanov, the mobster known for being violent and bloodthirsty, the one who is prejudiced and homophobic to the extreme, this Vladimir is the same one who begs me ​​to fuck him. He's the most insatiable bottom I've ever met. I want to see how long he can last without a man to fuck him.

But it doesn't end here, I will get my revenge. I'm going to end his race. Wait for me, Vladimir, because as much as I loved you is the same amount that I hate you now!
