I am walking back and forth in the house, it's already 10 pm and Ezequiel must be about to arrive. I am very nervous and I still feel his presence where he touched me this morning, he has something that prevents me from disobeying him, my body simply betrays me.
I have already prepared dinner, so now I can go to shower. I slowly climb the stairs and enter my tiny cold room.
I prepare the bathtub with all the products I bought at the store, it still surprises me that there are not many hygiene products here and not much food either. This house is very strange, for the amount of money Ezequiel has, he could live in a mansion, but he doesn't, he lives alone without servants or security and it also doesn't seem like he takes care of anything in the house, he doesn't even know how to clean or cook. He is very strange in some aspects, but excellent in business and as a leader.
I add essence and soap bubbles to the bathtub water, now it smells delicious. I put on relaxing classical music on my phone to create a perfect atmosphere. Since I was kicked out of the house, I haven't relaxed, this is my little moment away from all the problems.
I begin to undress, and before getting into the bathtub, I look at my reflection in the mirror. Despite being a man, I have no muscles, I am thin and my hair is starting to grow. Now I'm going to choose my own haircut, not the one my father decides, maybe I'll even grow my hair out. When I look at myself I notice the bite marks that Ezequiel left me, I touch them subtly, they still hurt. I can't help but think about him, apparently he likes to bite me, even though he leaves marks on my body as if I were his property, I sigh deeply, I better relax a little.
I take one of my moisturizing masks and put it on my face, I put my feet in the tub and finally my body. The water is warm, it's very relaxing and good for the skin.
Ezequiel will surely arrive late because he will be with some of his women, he prefers to spend time with them than with me. What am I thinking? He only likes girls and I am a man, apparently he is not gay, I don't stand a chance.
I lie down and relax with the classical music, this is what I need, I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I feel someone biting my chest and I jump in pain.
"But what?!" I shout in distress and pain, I only hear Ezequiel's characteristic laughter when he tortures me, accidentally my moisturizing mask falls into the tub water.
"Do not touch me, don't you know what privacy is? I am showering, but you come in and touch me," I shout angrily and cover my chest and sink deeper into the tub to cover myself "You are a rude pervert".
"It's my house and I enter wherever I want, remember that you must obey me" he sits on the toilet and watches me." By the way, you have very pretty and pink nipples"
I look at him with great surprise, how can he say something like that so calmly.
"Instead of showering, you should have my dinner ready," he falls silent for a moment "We have a lot of work to do and you are distracted," he crosses his arms, annoyed.
"I'll serve you dinner, I prepared what you asked for, beef ribs with mashed potatoes," I say, apparently Ezequiel likes it because his expression changes quickly and now he is happier.
"What are you waiting for?"
"For you to leave, I don't want you to see me naked"
"You know that we are both men and we have the same thing," Ezequiel stares at me for a while, I don't know what I did wrong, he gets up and takes me by the chin, lifting my gaze "Don't tell me what to do, be a good boy," he says that and leaves, I hear him open the bedroom door.
I take that opportunity and grab my bathrobe to cover. I go to the room and, as always, he did not close the door, I close it and lock it.
Ezequiel is very unpredictable, I just told him to leave and he got mad about it, I am not his slave. I put on my favorite bear pajamas, and quickly go downstairs to serve Ezequiel's meal, to my surprise, he is sitting at the table like a hungry child with a bottle of tequila.
I go to the kitchen, heat up his food and set the plate in a 5-star restaurant style, luckily I took my private cooking course. I go enthusiastically to feed Ezequiel, I serve him the food and he starts eating without saying anything, he is rude.
"Could you wait for me?" I can tell from his disgusted look that he won't wait for me. I go for my food and bring a juice, I don't drink alcohol, I sit down to eat with Ezequiel.
"You are very good at cooking"
"Thank you! I'm glad you like my food," apparently his mood changes, he is no longer angry.
"I need you focused on the business, you will be here for another week, but sooner or later you will have to leave and everyone will know who you are, the rumors will reach your father's ears."
I lower my gaze and stop eating, "I know that my father is very bold, but he abandoned me, I don't think he cares what I do with my life, he removed me from the will," talking about this takes away my appetite.
"You are very naive, your brothers are a lost cause, how long do you think they will last working with your father?" he pours himself more wine. "Soon your father will realize that his dynasty will end by his own descendants, but you could save it."
My breathing quickens with every word from Ezequiel, I don't want to return to the main mansion, my brothers hate me.
"My mother used to say that not all lineages are good, and although some are privileged, it doesn't mean they are good," he takes a sip from his glass and looks at me. "Mateo, sometimes the rejected lineage is the one that will have absolute power and surpass the rest, it's just a matter of time before the inevitable happens."
"I don't want to surpass anyone, I just want to live in peace, I've spent my whole life with my father demanding me and my brothers hating me, I just want to leave the past and start again." I say tears, I don't want my past to haunt me forever.
"That will be impossible, you can't escape your destiny, and even if we wanted to change it, life will put us on the same path until we accept our reality," Ezequiel says very calmly.
"You know what will happen to me if I'm forced to go back, I would have to marry a woman and pretend to have a family. I don't like women and I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone I don't love." I say angrily, this is my reality, I know it, but I don't accept it.
"You are mistaken, our destiny is success, to be the best lineage, you decide where to thrive. I promise I will do everything in my power to ensure your success is by my side and you don't return to your father," He says with a serious expression. I feel that Ezequiel's words are sincere and it's just what I needed to hear.
"Thank you, I also promise to strive and give more than one hundred percent, together we will be unstoppable and the best lineage. If my destiny is to be the best lineage, I will be, but considering my happiness."
"A prosperous future awaits us," he raises his glass and takes a sip with a big smile, I know he expects a lot.
I get up from the table, "I don't want to eat, I'll go to the office to work," I take my juice and leave with a heavy heart. I wish things were different, I believed in my father, but since the day he found me kissing another boy, I'm afraid of him. I saw in his eyes that he is capable of many things regardless of being his son.
I take a breath to clear my head, open the door and walk into the office, grab my laptop with a heavy heart and start working. No matter how much I try to be strong, I can't stop crying, my tears fall onto the laptop, I never want to go back to the main mansion, just the thought of it terrifying me and what they will do to me if I don't obey them. I will do everything I can to prevent it from happening and I trust that Ezequiel will protect me, now I see that my mother was right.
