The moment they got in the car Sam told his guards to drive them back home so his guards did without hesitations, they didn't even ask why they were back so early. If you ask me, the ride back home was a bit awkward, Sam was ignoring Given so bad, and on the other side Given was already done with the situation, he just wanted everything to be over because every time he tried to bring out his own thoughts, a fight began.
After a very long awkward ride they finally arrived, Sam was the first one to get out of the car this time. He went straight to his room where he took a cold shower in order to cool himself off because he was literally fuming. And as for Given, he found Nancy watching tv and he went to join her. After an hour, Sam called out one of his guards and asked them to call Given to his room so that they could finish talking.
Given was then called and he went to Sams room. Honestly, he was not in the mood but he had no choice, he was indeed living under his bosses roof so he had to do what he was told.
AT THAT MOMENT
Given- Sir,
Sam- Take a seat,( Given moves towards the bedroom couch and sits down)
Given- What can I do for you sir,
Sam- Tell me why you want to cancel our deal
Given- Family issues sir, and I know why you fail to understand that. I would do it if I had the choice but its highly impossible,
Sam- And why is that,
Given- My family is nothing like yours
Sam- In which ways young man,
Given- Nobody here is judging you for having affairs with men okay, but for me it is entirely different. You and I are different individuals, you are the most loved young man alive and I am supposed to create a good picture for my family and being the person I am is a disgrace.
Sam- You are cancelling this because your family is homophobic, okay, is that all( he says jokingly)
Given- This is not a joke okay, I am an heir to my family and I am supposed to be the next chief of our people but that cannot happen if my own people find out that I am involved with a man and we are about to get married, I don't know why this is a joke to you sir( he began to tear up)
Said Given as he began to cry, well I wouldn't blame him. He knew that he was getting himself into something he wouldn't be able to control. Well, only his family knew about his sexuality and no body out of the family knew about it, this was the best way for their people to still respect the royal family like before and also be willing to have Given as their future ruler.
Given was from a place that valued culture and they still believed that being a homosexual person was a taboo so Given didn't want his own people to disown him just like how his father along with his entire family had already disowned him. Including his mother, nothing much can be said about her other than concluding that she got the influence to despise her own son from her husband.
As the heir, Given was expected to not act like normal people, he was brought up to be an exception even to his own siblings. He had two brothers and a sister and out of all his siblings only Kevin, who comes before him is the only one who understands him and doesn't hold a grudge towards him. But as for the rest, they see Given as nothing.
This is one of the main reasons which caused Given to run away from home because he couldn't face the disrespect he got from his family members anymore. And now he was going to open those wounds that haven't healed yet.
Sam then told him that there was no way that they could call off their contract but the only thing they would do was to not get Givens family involved because he didn't want to risk the success of his company but after saying this Sam took notice of how the news didn't sit well with Given and he tried to make him understand but Given ended up telling him that he wasn't happy with what they were doing from the start.
Well, this was something else, totally unexpected, he then told Sam that being with him was going to lower his chances of finding his own love since people would begin to think that he was already taken and that's when Sam noticed that they were going to keep having problems after problems so he told Given to go and rest meanwhile he came up with another plan as to what they would do next.
Sam's POV
I really do not understand what had gotten in to Givens mind, at firs he told about hid family not accepting his sexuality hence being in the contracted relationship with me was not a good idea, and now he brings up the topic of being lonely. Even I myself face the same thing. And this one honestly I cannot trap him because he has a point but there is only one thing I can do which would make him not want to leave the job.
Well that's easy, I'll just start flirting with him if it is what it would take to save my companies and my own reputation. It wouldn't be a bad idea to do so, how hard can it even be."
