00:00:09To be continued...
00:00:30Hard to breathe. A loud car horn blared. I quickly raised the security bar. The car that rolled in was
00:00:36expensive, sleek, black, and obviously worth more than I'd make in ten years. It belonged to my boss, Charles Grant.
00:00:43Charles stepped out and walked over to the window with a small smile. His eyes, however, dropped immediately to my
00:00:49crippled leg. The look in them was warm on the surface, but underneath it was something hungry and intimate.
00:00:55That's okay. I didn't wait too long. He tilted his head slightly. You look like you're in a bad mood.
00:01:02Is everything alright? I leaned against the door and shrugged as if I didn't care. I'm fine. Just lost a
00:01:09game, that's all.
00:01:10Charles didn't say anything. His gaze lingered on my leg a second longer, tracing the shape of the prosthesis with
00:01:17obvious interest. That was how rich people were. Their lives were too comfortable, so they developed strange cravings for broken
00:01:23things, for damaged edges.
00:01:28He licked his lips subtly. The rain was pouring hard that night. Charles Grant stood outside the security booth, umbrella
00:01:36in hand, looking perfectly dry and expensive.
00:01:39It's been raining a lot lately. Your leg must be hurting more than usual.
00:01:44I'm fine.
00:01:45He paused, then spoke in that soft, careful voice of his.
00:01:49I don't come here often. I'm looking for someone reliable to take care of my house. If you know anyone
00:01:56suitable…
00:01:57I knew what he was really asking. Poor people don't have the luxury of dignity.
00:02:01The thought of grandma in the hospital and my brother's tuition next month made the decision easier than it should
00:02:07have.
00:02:07I looked him in the eye. No need to look elsewhere.
00:02:11What do you think of me?
00:02:12If you're willing, that would be the best.
00:02:16Three days later, I quit my security job and moved into Charles' townhouse in Lincoln Park.
00:02:21The salary was $25,000 a month.
00:02:24All I had to do was keep the house clean. I could even visit my grandmother at the hospital during
00:02:29the day.
00:02:30It sounded like the best job I could ever get.
00:02:33If only Charles didn't look at my bad leg the way he did like it was something he wanted to
00:02:37touch, to own, to devour.
00:02:39That night, a call came saying Charles was drunk at a bar and needed someone to bring him home.
00:02:44I took one of his flashy cars and drove there.
00:02:46He was heavily intoxicated, face flushed, eyes glassy.
00:02:53Holden.
00:02:54Am I dreaming? I think I see you.
00:02:57I half carried him back to the villa and dumped him onto his bed.
00:03:02Charles lay sprawled on the sheets, breathing heavily.
00:03:04His glassy eyes found me in the dim light and a drunken, crooked smile tugged at his lips.
00:03:10He reached out, fingers weakly grabbing at my shirt as he pulled me closer.
00:03:15Come here, Holden.
00:03:17His voice was low, hoarse, and filthy with alcohol.
00:03:20That leg of yours.
00:03:23Fuck.
00:03:24Fuck. I've been hard all night just thinking about it.
00:03:27He let out a low, shaky laugh, eyes half-lidded with lust.
00:03:31As I tried to leave, his arms suddenly wrapped around my neck, refusing to let go.
00:03:37His lips brushed against my jaw, hot and unsteady.
00:03:41You're drunk, boss.
00:03:44But his hand was already sliding down, fingers tracing the line of my crippled leg with that familiar, unsettling hunger.
00:03:52Charles' eyes were dark, glazed with alcohol, and something deeper.
00:03:56His hand kept stroking my bad leg, fingers pressing gently against the scars where flesh met prosthesis.
00:04:03The touch was strangely tender, yet filled with clear fascination.
00:04:06A low, shaky groan slipped from Charles' throat as his fingertips traced the edge of my prosthesis.
00:04:13Hmm. It's really beautiful.
00:04:17He breathed hoarsely, almost reverently.
00:04:19His breathing grew heavier, ragged, each exhale turning into a soft, meaty whimper whenever he pressed harder into the scarred
00:04:26skin.
00:04:29Hmm. So beautiful.
00:04:31I looked down at him, slender, fair-skinned, with a face pretty enough to pass for a woman.
00:04:36It wasn't the worst deal in the world.
00:04:38For my family, I could swallow my pride.
00:04:41At least that's what I told myself.
00:04:43I lowered my head and kissed him hard.
00:04:48You started it.
00:04:50Charles' eyes widened in surprise, but only for a second.
00:04:53Then he responded eagerly, tongue meeting mine, breathing growing heavier.
00:04:58I've wanted this leg.
00:05:00I've wanted you like this for so long.
00:05:05His hands never left my crippled leg.
00:05:07He caressed the damaged area with increasing hunger, as if the imperfection excited him more than anything else.
00:05:13I pulled back slightly, breathing against his lips.
00:05:17You really like it that much.
00:05:18Does touching a broken man make you feel powerful?
00:05:22Your scars are attractive.
00:05:23Instead, he pulled me closer, kissing me deeper while his fingers continued to explore every ridge and scar on my
00:05:29leg.
00:05:30His mouth moved from my neck down to my chest, sucking and biting, leaving faint marks.
00:05:35But his hands kept returning to my bad leg, stroking, squeezing, tracing every scar with obvious obsession.
00:05:42Our bodies pressed together, hips rolling slowly in a heated rhythm.
00:05:46The friction built steadily, heavy and urgent, but we never went further.
00:05:50Finally, Charles looked up at me, eyes dark with lust, voice hoarse.
00:05:54Charles, you like this scarred leg that much?
00:05:56It's very attractive.
00:05:59Don't feel inferior because of it.
00:06:01I stared at him for a moment.
00:06:02Just as his hand was about to slide further down, I shot my own hand out and gripped his wrist
00:06:08tightly, holding it firmly in place and stopping him from going any lower.
00:06:12My voice was calm, but carried an unmistakable steel.
00:06:15Not tonight, and not on your terms.
00:06:19Charles' breath hits sharply.
00:06:22What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:06:24Lust flared wildly in his eyes as he tried to yank his hand free, but I kept my grip iron
00:06:29tight, pressing his wrist hard against my chest so he couldn't move it even an inch downward.
00:06:35You can have me, but only if we take turns.
00:06:42Otherwise, no deal.
00:06:44I shoved his restless hand away, quickly straightened my clothes, and put some distance between us.
00:06:49His gaze burned into me like red-hot iron filled with shock, frustration, and an even fiercer hunger.
00:06:56His breathing hitched.
00:06:57Damn it!
00:06:59I didn't push further.
00:07:00I pulled back and stood up, adjusting my clothes.
00:07:03I need time to think about it.
00:07:05You should too.
00:07:05As I walked toward the door, I could feel his gaze burning into my back, a mix of frustration, surprise,
00:07:13and unmistakable hunger.
00:07:15That night, I returned to the guest room without turning on the lights.
00:07:18I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying the image of Charles pinned beneath me, his
00:07:24eyes half-closed, lips parted, breathing completely messed up.
00:07:27Just thinking about his expression made my body react in ways it shouldn't.
00:07:32I turned over and buried my face in the pillow.
00:07:35Damn it, Charles.
00:07:36You did that on purpose!
00:07:38The aching arousal refused to fade.
00:07:41Eventually, I had no choice but to get up and take a cold shower.
00:07:45The cold water slid over my skin, but it did nothing to suppress the burning desire inside me.
00:07:51The aching arousal refused to fade.
00:07:54I wrapped my hand around my throbbing cock and stroked it hard, fast, and rough.
00:07:59Fuck.
00:08:00Oh.
00:08:01So fucking good.
00:08:04I didn't want to admit that I was feeling desire for Charles' body.
00:08:08Before him, I had always been attracted to soft, smooth women.
00:08:11The next morning, I packed my luggage and prepared to leave.
00:08:15Charles was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
00:08:17When he saw me coming downstairs with my bag, his hand holding the cup paused mid-air.
00:08:22Where are you going?
00:08:23Back to where I belong.
00:08:25He didn't stand up.
00:08:26He simply stared at my prosthetic leg, his gaze glued to it.
00:08:30Your grandmother's hospital just sent the bill for this round of treatment.
00:08:34And your brother is still $3,000 short for next month's tuition.
00:08:38I stopped in my tracks.
00:08:41Are you threatening me?
00:08:42Rage burned through me.
00:08:44I wanted to strangle him.
00:08:45I'm not threatening you.
00:08:47I'm just reminding you.
00:08:49He sat down his teacup, stood up, and walked over to me until I could smell the faint scent
00:08:54of his cologne.
00:08:55You can leave, Holden.
00:08:57The door isn't locked.
00:08:58But you should think carefully.
00:09:00You're not just walking out of this house.
00:09:02You're walking away from your grandmother's medicine and your brother's textbooks.
00:09:07I gripped the handle of my suitcase tightly.
00:09:10I wanted to smash the suitcase into his handsome face.
00:09:13But I didn't move, because he was telling the truth.
00:09:15I slowly loosened my grip.
00:09:17The suitcase slid to the floor with a dull thud.
00:09:20You're such a fucking bastard.
00:09:22Charles Grant let out a soft low laugh.
00:09:25Yeah, I know.
00:09:26He bent down to pick up the suitcase for me.
00:09:28His fingers deliberately brushed against my residual limb as he did so.
00:09:33I jerked back, as if burned.
00:09:35He didn't follow me.
00:09:36He simply stood there watching me.
00:09:38The hunger in his eyes was impossible to hide.
00:09:40You got hard last night, didn't you?
00:09:43I stayed silent.
00:09:44Don't deny it.
00:09:46I saw you.
00:09:48You were touching yourself in the shower.
00:09:50My face burned with heat.
00:09:52That's a normal male reaction.
00:09:53Normal men don't get hard thinking about another man.
00:09:56He smiled slow and quiet.
00:09:58Think about it carefully, Holden.
00:10:00Are you really hating me?
00:10:01Or are you hating yourself for enjoying it?
00:10:04That night, I didn't leave.
00:10:06I carried my luggage back to the guest room.
00:10:08I went into the bathroom and turned on the cold tap,
00:10:11splashing water violently onto my face.
00:10:14When I looked up, the mirror was fogged with steam.
00:10:17I wiped it with my sleeve.
00:10:19And for a split second, Charles Grant's face appeared in the reflection.
00:10:23I froze.
00:10:24I like women.
00:10:26I've always liked women.
00:10:28I slammed the bathroom door shut, went back to the bed, and grabbed my laptop.
00:10:33My fingers trembled as I typed.
00:10:34Big tits, busty girls, curvy women, blonda, brunette, all kinds of videos.
00:10:39I opened one after another, forcing myself to stare at soft, smooth female bodies.
00:10:46Full breasts bouncing loud, feminine moans.
00:10:49But no matter how hard I tried, my body kept reacting against my will.
00:10:53Every time I blinked, the woman on the screen blurred and was replaced by Charles.
00:10:57My breathing grew heavier.
00:10:59In the end, all I could see was Charles Grant's face.
00:11:03Those dark, lust-filled eyes staring straight at me, lips slightly parted, breathing ragged.
00:11:08Fuck!
00:11:09Rage exploded in my chest.
00:11:11I grabbed the laptop with both hands and smashed it hard against the edge of the desk.
00:11:16The screen cracked violently, glass shards flying everywhere.
00:11:19Get the fuck out of my head!
00:11:23Charles.
00:11:24The broken screen flickered one last time before going completely black.
00:11:28A few nights later, the tension from that unfinished night still lingered heavily in the room.
00:11:34Charles was leaning against the headboard, reviewing documents, his expression as cold and composed as ever.
00:11:40I didn't waste time.
00:11:42I crossed the room in a few strides, climbed onto the bed, and pinned him down.
00:11:46You've been staring at my leg like you want to devour it since day one.
00:11:50Now it's my turn.
00:11:51I kissed him fiercely, forcing my tongue past his lips.
00:11:55He struggled beneath me, body twisting, but I held him down with my weight.
00:12:00You bastard!
00:12:01Before he could curse again, I shoved two fingers into his mouth, pressing down on his tongue.
00:12:06His hot, wet saliva coated my skin instantly.
00:12:10Since you want to d*** me so badly, it's only fair that I get to see your stump, right?
00:12:17I pulled back slightly, breathing hard, and reached for the release latch on my prosthetic leg.
00:12:22Charles' gaze followed every movement, dark and ravenous.
00:12:26You sure you want to see this?
00:12:27Charles' breathing was already ragged.
00:12:30He reached out, fingers trembling slightly, as if dying to touch it.
00:12:34Let me see.
00:12:35I clenched my jaw, then pressed the latch.
00:12:38A soft, mechanical hiss sounded as the prosthetic detached.
00:12:41Charles' eyes widened, pupils blown black with pure lust.
00:12:45Fuck.
00:12:49Hold it.
00:12:50He licked his lip slowly, staring at my stump like it was something sacred and obscene at the same time.
00:12:56So fucking beautiful.
00:12:58That scar.
00:13:00That shape.
00:13:02It's perfect.
00:13:03Even more gorgeous than I imagined.
00:13:06Let me touch it.
00:13:07I want to kiss every ugly inch of it.
00:13:10I set the high-tech leg aside carefully, exposing the scarred, shortened residual limb beneath.
00:13:16The cool air of the room brushed against the sensitive skin there.
00:13:19I looked down at him, voice rough.
00:13:22Happy now.
00:13:23Then I pinned him down again, harder this time.
00:13:26Charles' voice turned shaky when he realized he couldn't push me off.
00:13:30Wait.
00:13:31Let me mentally prepare myself.
00:13:34I paused, looking down at him and at my own residual limb now pressed against his thigh.
00:13:39Without the mechanical leg, the contrast was even starker.
00:13:43Are you crying?
00:13:44His eyes were red, but he clenched his teeth, one hand still unconsciously reaching toward where my leg used to
00:13:50be.
00:13:51Who's crying?
00:13:53Just... get on with it.
00:13:55What followed was like a feared struggle.
00:13:57I kept him pinned, kissing him deeply while my hands roamed over his body.
00:14:02He fought back, nails digging into my back, legs wrapping around my waist as he tried to flip us over.
00:14:09Holden Jones.
00:14:12You'll regret this.
00:14:13I bit his lower lip lightly and whispered back.
00:14:17Then let me regret it.
00:14:19Charles' hands kept returning to my scarred leg, stroking and gripping the damaged muscle with shameless hunger.
00:14:25Every time his fingers traced the old injury, his breathing grew even heavier, as if touching my broken part fed
00:14:32something deep inside him.
00:14:34You love this, don't you?
00:14:37I muttered.
00:14:38He didn't answer, just let out a shaky breath and pulled me closer.
00:14:42Each time he tried to take the lead, I pinned him back down, devouring his mouth and neck, grinding against
00:14:48him until the pleasure built into an overwhelming wave.
00:14:51By the end, Charles was completely spent limp, flushed and breathing in soft, broken gasps.
00:14:56His body was covered in faint bite marks and bruises from our rough play.
00:15:01I got up, filled the bathtub with hot water and carried his exhausted body into the bathroom.
00:15:06His fair cheeks were flushed pink, misty with steam, and he looked unexpectedly adorable.
00:15:11I knelt beside the tub to wash him, running a soapy cloth gently over his skin.
00:15:17Are you satisfied, my charming little kitten?
00:15:20I said, running the cloth over his chest.
00:15:23Satisfied.
00:15:24Charles murmured, his eyes half closed.
00:15:27Very satisfied.
00:15:30Good then.
00:15:31He curled his lips lazily.
00:15:33You are amazing.
00:15:34You've worn me out beautifully.
00:15:37When I least expected it, he suddenly wrapped his arms around my neck and yanked me forward.
00:15:42Warm water rushed into my nose and mouth as I fell in.
00:15:46I coughed violently, bracing myself against the edge of the tub.
00:15:50Charles laughed triumphantly, clearly pleased with his small revenge.
00:15:55His eyes sparkled with satisfaction, the earlier exhaustion replaced by playful defiance.
00:16:00I wiped the water from my face, grabbed both his wrists, and pinned them behind his back in one smooth
00:16:06motion.
00:16:07Haven't you had enough, boss?
00:16:10Charles leaned back against the tub, exposing the elegant line of his neck.
00:16:14His body was soft and weak, yet his words were still defiant.
00:16:18Next round is my turn.
00:16:20I'll show you how it's properly done.
00:16:22His angry, flushed face made me want to laugh, but a small part of me was starting to soften toward
00:16:28him.
00:16:28As you wish.
00:16:30Yet every time things heated up again in the following days and nights, I never kept my promise.
00:16:36Charles began showering me with luxury gifts, watches, clothes, even a new phone.
00:16:42I thanked him sweetly every time, then sold every single item online.
00:16:46The money went straight to transferring my grandmother to a better hospital and hiring a full-time caregiver.
00:16:52I also used part of it to buy a one-way ticket and kicked my worthless gambling father back to
00:16:57our run-down hometown.
00:16:59Somewhere even worse than the south side.
00:17:01With money in my pocket, the world suddenly felt a little brighter.
00:17:05To show my gratitude to Charles, I decided to cook him dinner.
00:17:08I called him while chopping vegetables.
00:17:11The background was noisy, he was probably in a meeting.
00:17:14Are you coming home tonight?
00:17:16Do you need anything?
00:17:17I smiled, deliberately softening my voice.
00:17:20I just miss you.
00:17:21It was cheesy, but I couldn't help grinning at the thought of him blushing in front of others.
00:17:26He coughed softly on the other end, then answered simply,
00:17:30I'll be home.
00:17:31I went to the grocery store and bought the most expensive steak, lobster, and ingredients I could find.
00:17:37I spent the entire afternoon and evening cooking.
00:17:40By nightfall, the table was filled with delicious food.
00:17:44But Charles still hadn't come home.
00:17:46He didn't reply to my messages and didn't pick up my calls.
00:17:49I started to get worried.
00:17:51I kept limping around the living room, not knowing what to do.
00:17:55That was when I realized something painful.
00:17:57We had never really talked to each other outside of bed.
00:18:00It was past one in the morning when I finally heard the hum of a car engine outside.
00:18:05I quickly opened the door.
00:18:07Despite my bad leg, I had never moved so fast.
00:18:12It was a relief to see Charles get out of the car in one piece.
00:18:15But relief quickly turned into anger.
00:18:18Before he walked up the steps, I suddenly realized I had no right to be angry.
00:18:22We didn't have a normal relationship.
00:18:24Charles hung his jacket on the hanger and walked into the house.
00:18:27He saw the table full of food and narrowed his eyes.
00:18:31Why are you still awake?
00:18:32You should have gone to sleep.
00:18:34I told you I wouldn't be home so early from North City.
00:18:37I froze.
00:18:38Did you mention it to me?
00:18:40Charles Tasket softly and frowned.
00:18:43After thinking hard, I vaguely remembered yes, he had told me he would be on a business trip.
00:18:48But at the time, I was too busy calculating how much money I could get by selling the watch he
00:18:53gave me.
00:18:54I hadn't paid attention to anything else.
00:18:56The food on the table had gone cold hours ago.
00:18:59I sat there limping back and forth in the living room earlier.
00:19:02But now I just stared at the steak and lobster I'd spent the whole afternoon preparing.
00:19:07The air between us thickened with that familiar tension.
00:19:10Turn around and face the other way.
00:19:12Then I'll forgive you.
00:19:14He was unusually stubborn about this.
00:19:16There was no way I was giving in after I had been the one in control for so long.
00:19:20I felt my jaw tighten.
00:19:24My pride or what was left of it wouldn't let me.
00:19:27I haven't forgiven you for not picking up my calls either.
00:19:31He dipped a finger into the cold sauce, licked it slowly, then gave me a sideways seductive glance that made
00:19:37my stomach twist.
00:19:38There was no time.
00:19:40I had to nap.
00:19:42Just to save energy for a hot night with you.
00:19:45He hoisted himself onto the dinner table, knee pressing against my abdomen when I tried to get close.
00:19:51No.
00:19:52I'm still mad.
00:19:54Frustration built in my chest.
00:19:55I was rough when I grabbed him, but he refused, lifting his knee higher.
00:19:59I'll do anything.
00:20:01Except turn my back to you.
00:20:03Charles frowned, eyes flashing with that mix of anger and something deeper.
00:20:07Why is it that I can do it, but you can't?
00:20:11Don't forget, I'm still your boss.
00:20:14I glanced at my bank account in my mind.
00:20:16It was enough now.
00:20:18Enough for grandma, for my brother.
00:20:20I didn't have to swallow everything anymore.
00:20:22I picked up my coat and turned toward the door.
00:20:25A sharp cry of pain cut him off behind me.
00:20:27Fine.
00:20:28I quit.
00:20:30Goodbye.
00:20:31Holden, you-
00:20:33I turned around.
00:20:35Blood was dripping from his right palm he'd grabbed a knife while scrambling off the table.
00:20:39My mind went blank.
00:20:41I limped over as fast as my bad leg allowed, grabbing a napkin to press on the wound.
00:20:46He turned away stubbornly.
00:20:48Don't touch me.
00:20:49You're bleeding.
00:20:50Stop being an idiot!
00:20:53I said, don't touch me!
00:20:55He jerked his hand back and the napkin fell to the floor.
00:20:58Blood dripped faster now, pooling in the hollow of his palm and spilling over the edge.
00:21:03I reached for his wrist again.
00:21:05That's when he slapped at me hard with the bleeding hand.
00:21:08Didn't you hear me?
00:21:09You were leaving!
00:21:11So leave!
00:21:13Don't pretend you care now.
00:21:15His voice cracked on the last word.
00:21:17He stood up, swaying slightly, and tried to move past me, but his bad hand knocked against
00:21:22the edge of the table, and he let out a sharp hiss of pain, stumbling back into the chair.
00:21:28That was when I lost my temper.
00:21:30Okay.
00:21:31It's my fault.
00:21:32But can you stop hurting yourself?
00:21:34I'm worried about you!
00:21:36Charles' eyes flashed.
00:21:39He opened his mouth to fire something back, but nothing came out.
00:21:42His lower lip trembled just a fraction just for a second before he clamped his jaw shut.
00:21:47The anger drained out of me as fast as it had come.
00:21:50I sighed.
00:21:51Charles.
00:21:52He didn't look at me.
00:21:53I'm not leaving.
00:21:55All right?
00:21:56I'm right here.
00:21:57Just let me take care of this.
00:22:00Charles sat very still.
00:22:02His breathing was still uneven, but the fight was draining out of his shoulders.
00:22:05Finally, he turned his hand over palm up and held it out to me.
00:22:09He still wouldn't look at me, but it was enough.
00:22:12I grabbed a fresh napkin and pressed it against the cut.
00:22:15He leaned back against the chair, arrogantly lifting his chin.
00:22:19To me, he looked incredibly cute like this.
00:22:23In the following days, he demanded I deliver lunch to his office.
00:22:27He also insisted I accompany him to a friend's gathering.
00:22:31I couldn't understand it.
00:22:32What was a cripple like me worth showing off?
00:22:35It didn't make him look good.
00:22:37Hell, I even felt embarrassed for him.
00:22:40The club was loud, filled with rich airs, laughing too loudly.
00:22:43Not long after we arrived, someone approached me.
00:22:46She was a woman tall, long dark hair, expensive dress that probably cost more than my monthly salary.
00:22:52Her smile was easy, confident.
00:22:54The kind of woman who was used to getting what she wanted.
00:22:57I haven't seen you here before.
00:22:59Are you Charles' new friend?
00:23:01I shrugged.
00:23:02Something like that.
00:23:03She laughed, stepping closer.
00:23:06Her perfume was floral jasmine, maybe.
00:23:09She tilted her head, looking me up and down in a way that felt more curious than judgmental.
00:23:15Well, any friend of Charles' is worth knowing.
00:23:17Give me your number.
00:23:19We should have drinks sometime.
00:23:20I pulled out my phone.
00:23:22It was harmless.
00:23:23A number exchange didn't mean anything.
00:23:25Before I could unlock the screen, a hand shot out from beside me.
00:23:30Charles snatched my phone and smashed it onto the floor.
00:23:32Who said you could add anyone as a friend?
00:23:35The woman's eyes went wide with fear.
00:23:37She didn't say a word.
00:23:38She just turned and walked away quickly, disappearing into the crowd.
00:23:43I looked up at him.
00:23:44Are you crazy?
00:23:45He yanked open the car door and kicked me inside.
00:23:48My head hit the seat hard, making me dizzy.
00:23:51Before I could recover, he grabbed my collar, eyes burning.
00:23:54How could you give your number to anyone?
00:23:57Do you think I'm dead?
00:23:58Oh, so that was why he lost it.
00:24:00For some reason, it made a small, stupid warmth spread in my chest.
00:24:04I grabbed his waist and pulled him onto my lap.
00:24:06I don't like it when I have no one to ask about you.
00:24:09If you disappear again.
00:24:11He looked flustered, cheeks pink.
00:24:13He smelled like sandalwood clean, expensive, calming in a way that scared me.
00:24:18I buried my face in his neck, inhaling deeply.
00:24:20Have you any idea how worried I was that night?
00:24:23I couldn't reach you.
00:24:24Charles went exceptionally quiet and obedient in my arms.
00:24:28Then he asked, voice low and slightly tense.
00:24:30So you only added her, because you wanted to know where I am.
00:24:34I tightened my arms around him and answered without hesitation.
00:24:37What else did you think?
00:24:39You bent me a long time ago.
00:24:41There's no way I could like any other woman.
00:24:43He stayed quiet, but his fingers continued tracing the scars on my bad leg with even more pressure,
00:24:49his breath growing hotter against my skin.
00:24:53I held him like I was cuddling a cat.
00:24:55I caressed his waist gently.
00:24:57It made me feel a little hot and bothered.
00:24:59You're heating me up.
00:25:01Be good and sit where you are.
00:25:03Charles said nothing.
00:25:04He leaned close to me and started kissing me on the neck.
00:25:07He moved down to kiss every part of my body.
00:25:10I could feel the tip of his tongue touching every part of my body.
00:25:13His kisses moved downward quickly but made a short stop on my chest before continuing his way down.
00:25:19The light in the car park was dim.
00:25:21I groaned with satisfaction as he looked particularly focused.
00:25:25I could not help but place my hands on his soft, dark hair.
00:25:29He kept going, sucking marks onto my chest and abdomen while his hands stroked obsessively over my scarred calf,
00:25:35fingers tracing every old bump and line with hungry fascination.
00:25:39Our hips rolled together in the cramped seat, grinding slow and heavy,
00:25:43the friction building until both of us were breathing raggedly.
00:25:47His mouth returned to my neck,
00:25:49biting gently as he whispered filthy praises about how perfect my damaged leg felt under his palm.
00:25:55As I enjoyed the moment, someone suddenly knocked on the car window.
00:25:58Whoever was outside sounded extremely furious.
00:26:02Charles Grant!
00:26:05A middle-aged man in a suit was standing right outside the car, his eyes wide with fury.
00:26:11Charles immediately turned away.
00:26:13Damn it.
00:26:14He quickly wiped his mouth and climbed over to the driver's seat.
00:26:17Before he could start the engine, I hurriedly zipped up my pants, heart pounding.
00:26:23Charles clenched his teeth, his face pale.
00:26:27My dad.
00:26:27The next second, his father slammed his hand hard on the hood of the car, forcing us to stop.
00:26:33He yanked open the passenger door with rage, his voice thundering through the parking lot.
00:26:38Charles Grant!
00:26:39You're actually doing this kind of filthy thing in public?
00:26:43With a man!
00:26:44Have you completely lost your mind?
00:26:46Charles took a deep breath, then looked his father straight in the eyes, his voice firm and unwavering.
00:26:51Yes.
00:26:52I'm with him.
00:26:54Holden is my true love.
00:26:55The air instantly froze.
00:26:57His father's face turned purple with fury.
00:27:00He pointed a trembling finger at Charles.
00:27:03True love.
00:27:04Then get out!
00:27:06From today on, you are no longer part of the Grant family.
00:27:10Don't ever come back to my house!
00:27:12He slammed the door shut violently and stormed away.
00:27:16I sat there stunned, my chest tight.
00:27:19Charles, you didn't have to say that in front of him.
00:27:22Charles stared straight ahead, gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.
00:27:27After a long silence, he let out a low, bitter laugh.
00:27:30Too late now.
00:27:32He didn't dare go to his office or go home.
00:27:34Later that night, he sat at the dinner table in the apartment, absentmindedly playing with a brand new phone.
00:27:41I installed a new app here.
00:27:43You will know wherever I am from now on.
00:27:46I put some food on his plate.
00:27:48Aren't you going home to take a look?
00:27:50It's better to go home after my bad has cooled down.
00:27:54Charles, I'm sorry.
00:27:56Because of me.
00:27:58You don't apologize.
00:27:59He looked up, his eyes surprisingly gentle.
00:28:02I don't regret it.
00:28:04I'd choose you again.
00:28:05I leaned forward and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
00:28:09The silence between us felt a little warmer, heavier with emotions we didn't need to put into words.
00:28:17Charles finished all his food with great satisfaction.
00:28:20After he was filled up with food, lust followed.
00:28:22He pushed his dishes to the side, kicked the chair away, and sat on the table.
00:28:27It's your turn.
00:28:28He stepped on my knee.
00:28:30There was a sultry look in his eye as he stared at my abdomen.
00:28:33This man was like a beguiling seductress.
00:28:36The more I got to know him, the easier it was to sleep with him.
00:28:39There were times when he wasn't in the mood, but I was consumed by desire for him.
00:28:44It wouldn't be easy to convince his family of our relationship.
00:28:47I had no idea how much longer we could be together.
00:28:50The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I would be.
00:28:53The chances of us being together would only lessen.
00:28:57It was better to enjoy our time together while we could.
00:28:59We enjoyed our time in every position we could think of.
00:29:03I pinned him down first, kissing him until his lips were swollen while he kept reaching
00:29:08for my injured leg, stroking and squeezing the scarred muscle with shameless hunger.
00:29:13We ground against each other hard, bodies sliding together in a messy, desperate rhythm,
00:29:19until he was moaning and trembling.
00:29:21Then he tried to take control, only for me to flip him again, biting along his neck and chest
00:29:27while our hips rolled faster, chasing that building heat until we were both spent and gasping.
00:29:32After that, I carried him to the bathroom for a bath.
00:29:36My legs were weak from overdoing it in bed, and I had to carry a grown man in my arms.
00:29:41It was a little taxing on a cripple like me.
00:29:43Charles was dozing off, he said in a small voice.
00:29:47Let me down.
00:29:48I can walk.
00:29:50I adjusted him in my arms.
00:29:52Don't worry.
00:29:53I won't let go of you.
00:29:55He pinched my arm.
00:29:56Stop trying to be a hero when you can hardly carry me.
00:30:00I interrupted him with a frown.
00:30:01I can carry you.
00:30:04All right.
00:30:05All right.
00:30:06You can carry me.
00:30:07Charles stopped arguing with me and put his arms around my neck.
00:30:10I've contacted an expert.
00:30:12I've sent his address to your phone.
00:30:14You should consult him about your leg when you're free.
00:30:18This was good news, but I was a little apprehensive.
00:30:20There's no point in treating my leg.
00:30:23Aren't you attracted to my lame leg?
00:30:25Charles looked up at me.
00:30:26Who told you that?
00:30:27There was a teasing glint in his eye.
00:30:29You still have a great waist.
00:30:31What a cheeky man.
00:30:34After a few days of hiding, Charles finally went home.
00:30:38That night, I was unable to reach him.
00:30:40Losing contact with him was exactly what I expected.
00:30:44Every time I closed my eyes, I could see him getting beaten up.
00:30:48It finally came to a point when I could no longer wait.
00:30:51I used the app he installed on my phone and tracked him down to the Grants.
00:30:55I waited in the area.
00:30:57I was hoping to see him from afar.
00:30:59The worst thing that could happen if I got caught was getting beaten up.
00:31:03But things didn't happen as I expected.
00:31:05Charles was not beaten up.
00:31:07He was completely fine.
00:31:09He was looking dapper and beautiful while standing next to an expensive car.
00:31:13A woman with exquisite features was next to him.
00:31:17She was wearing a sleeveless mini dress and looked gorgeous and elegant.
00:31:20They were laughing and chatting as Charles opened the car door for the woman in a gentlemanly manner.
00:31:25Nothing intimate happened between them, but it somehow felt to me like they were a couple.
00:31:30I was just a lying cripple who didn't have money and had no power.
00:31:34Why was I wasting my time daydreaming?
00:31:37I felt horrible all over as I watched the car drive away.
00:31:40My lame leg felt especially painful.
00:31:43It might be because things were about to change.
00:31:47I headed to the hospital to visit my grandmother.
00:31:50She was getting senile as she asked me the same question she always did.
00:31:54What's wrong with your leg, Holden?
00:31:56I lied to her.
00:31:57I fell onto the curb.
00:31:59My grandmother berated me while trying to comfort me at the same time.
00:32:03I finally felt a little better.
00:32:05I spent the day chatting with my grandmother until I received a call from a friend to go out for
00:32:10a drink that night.
00:32:11There were supposed to be five of us, but only Jordan Lester showed up.
00:32:15After checking with him, I found out that an alarm went off right before their shifts ended.
00:32:20The rest of them had put on their suits to get to work.
00:32:23Jordan was the only one left.
00:32:25After two glasses of beer, he started to talk.
00:32:27None of us could help you when you were in trouble.
00:32:29If anyone comes looking for you, stop being rigid with the rules and accept whatever is given to you.
00:32:35I was bewildered.
00:32:36Huh?
00:32:37Jordan frowned.
00:32:38That rich guy you saved from the fire at the exhibition?
00:32:41Didn't he look for you?
00:32:42I was silent for a while before asking.
00:32:46Is his last name Grant?
00:32:47Jordan nodded.
00:32:48Charles Grant.
00:32:49I didn't say a word as I gulped down a glass of beer.
00:32:52Damn it.
00:32:53No wonder he wanted to sleep with me, but he hesitated.
00:32:56He was lusting for the body of the man who saved him.
00:32:59He really was something.
00:33:01Charles didn't even get angry when I pressed on top of him.
00:33:04What was he thinking?
00:33:05He was repaying me with his body.
00:33:07What if I never saved him?
00:33:09Would he sleep with another man?
00:33:11The more I thought about it, the angrier I was, especially after drinking.
00:33:15My head felt heavy as I riled up with anger.
00:33:18All I wanted was to vent to someone.
00:33:21After ending the drinking session with Jordan, I called Charles, but his phone remained off.
00:33:26I got a cab and headed to the Grants.
00:33:28On my way there, I decided I had to get him into bed, even if I had to sneak into
00:33:32his room
00:33:33through the window.
00:33:34But I sobered up when I felt the chilly wind on my face.
00:33:37My lame legs started to act up again.
00:33:40I didn't really remember what happened at the exhibition.
00:33:42There was a sea of fire and a lot of smoke.
00:33:45There was also an unconscious man.
00:33:47The metal rack broke my bones, and I had to save someone while carrying him in my arms.
00:33:52We would die if I moved any slower.
00:33:54No one would have the time to see if the person in their arms was rich or poor.
00:33:59It reminded me of the first time Charles looked at me.
00:34:02There was wonder in his eyes.
00:34:03He asked for my name, but there was a slight hesitation as well.
00:34:07That man desired me from the very start.
00:34:09That was why he didn't reveal his identity.
00:34:12If anyone found out he was keeping me hidden away like a boy toy, they would gossip about him.
00:34:17But I only saved him because it was my duty.
00:34:19I earned my keep from it, and there was no reason to mention this again.
00:34:23It would be the same even if I saved his entire family.
00:34:26We didn't belong to the same world.
00:34:30When I got nearer to the Grants, I looked at the luxurious mansion.
00:34:34I was about to ask the driver to turn around.
00:34:37That was when my phone rang.
00:34:38It was a call from Charles' friend who informed me he was drunk, and I had to go get him.
00:34:44I smiled while cursing out loud.
00:34:46When I rushed to the bar, I found out I had been tricked.
00:34:49Charles was not there.
00:34:50A few rich heirs were bored and remembered me while they were chatting.
00:34:53I had no idea how they found out about the news.
00:34:56An unfamiliar man with yellow hair came up to me.
00:35:00You can do it with anyone as long as you're paid, right?
00:35:03Sit on me and wiggle your ass.
00:35:05I'll be your sugar daddy.
00:35:06They were all drunk, and they surrounded me to have their fun.
00:35:09I was reminded of the news of Charles' engagement.
00:35:12It only made me angrier.
00:35:14These men were cowards.
00:35:15When Charles was around, they didn't even dare give me a second look.
00:35:19Now that news of Charles getting engaged had reached them,
00:35:22they could no longer hold back their dirty thoughts.
00:35:25The yellow-haired man got brazen enough to reach out and grab my arm.
00:35:29You have great-looking muscles.
00:35:31That must be difficult to train.
00:35:33I tilted my head and smiled gently.
00:35:36Do you want to have a go?
00:35:39His eyes lit up.
00:35:40I grabbed a bottle and glanced at his crotch.
00:35:43The bottle smashed hard against it.
00:35:45Who do you think you are to touch me?
00:35:47The yellow-haired man howled with pain.
00:35:50All the others sitting on the sofa to watch us immediately stood up.
00:35:54They were prepared to fight.
00:35:55I kicked hard at the table and swung the bottle in my hand amidst the sound of glass breaking.
00:36:00Come near me and I'll maim him.
00:36:03I grabbed the yellow-haired man by the shoulder and left the bar.
00:36:06Is Charles really engaged?
00:36:09I asked him.
00:36:10The yellow-haired man stammered.
00:36:12He could barely walk.
00:36:13He's getting engaged tomorrow.
00:36:15The invitations have been sent out.
00:36:18I wasn't walking properly either.
00:36:21Where's the engagement ring?
00:36:22It was a sleepless night for me as I thought about what Charles said before he left.
00:36:27Charles was snuggling in my arms like a lazy cat while playing with my fingers.
00:36:32Wait for me here.
00:36:34My dad will agree to our relationship.
00:36:36I'll take you home then.
00:36:38It didn't sound possible to me so I ignored him.
00:36:41I buried my head into his neck.
00:36:43I didn't want to let him go.
00:36:45Who am I to keep him with me?
00:36:47But I still headed to the engagement venue.
00:36:50I must be a dirty rat.
00:36:51It didn't matter what I was.
00:36:53All I wanted was to see him again.
00:36:55I decided to leave right after seeing him.
00:36:58A few steps away from me a woman in an elegant dress got out of the car holding Charles' arm.
00:37:03He was wearing a perfectly tailored bespoke suit looking dazzling under the streetlights.
00:37:08It made my blood boil.
00:37:10He liked men yet he still got engaged to a woman without telling me.
00:37:14He left me completely in the dark.
00:37:16I hated him.
00:37:17But when I saw a truck speeding straight toward them, all the hatred vanished.
00:37:22Charles!
00:37:23I shouted as I lunged forward and shoved both of them hard into the flower bed.
00:37:27The truck slammed into me.
00:37:29The impact sent me flying before I crashed heavily onto the ground.
00:37:33Bystanders immediately rushed over.
00:37:35Oh my god!
00:37:37Someone got hit!
00:37:38Call an ambulance!
00:37:40Hurry!
00:37:40The woman quickly got up, face pale.
00:37:42She knelt beside me, voice shaking.
00:37:46Are you okay?
00:37:48Hold on!
00:37:50Help is coming!
00:37:54Why did you...
00:37:55Why did you save us like that?
00:37:57Before I could answer, Charles crawled out of the flower bed in a panic.
00:38:01His usual calm and arrogant face was completely gone.
00:38:05He looked terrified, eyes wide with shock and horror.
00:38:08Holden!
00:38:10He rushed over and dropped to his knees beside me.
00:38:12His hands trembling as he reached out but didn't dare touch me, afraid of hurting me more.
00:38:18His voice cracked badly.
00:38:19No!
00:38:21Fuck!
00:38:23Holden!
00:38:25Don't close your eyes!
00:38:26His fingers hovered over my crushed legs, face deathly pale, lips shaking.
00:38:31For the first time, I saw pure, raw fear in Charles' eyes.
00:38:36Fear of losing me.
00:38:39Pain exploded through my body.
00:38:41My legs felt completely shattered.
00:38:43Fuck.
00:38:44I must have owed you in my past life, Charles.
00:38:46It wasn't enough that I already gave you one leg.
00:38:49Now I had to lose both.
00:38:51Both my legs were gone.
00:38:52The engagement, I later found out, was purely a business decision.
00:38:56The truck accident was deliberate revenge from a rival company.
00:39:00That night, Charles went home.
00:39:02His father's roar echoed from the study.
00:39:05You still dare to see that man.
00:39:07If you continue this disgusting relationship, I will have him fed to the fishes.
00:39:12Do you hear me?
00:39:13Charles stood straight, fists clenched.
00:39:16He just saved my life.
00:39:18Father.
00:39:19He pushed me and my fiancé out of the way and took the hit himself.
00:39:23He lost his legs because of me.
00:39:25Then stay away from him.
00:39:26I gave you an ultimatum.
00:39:29I won't.
00:39:30Holden is the person I want to be with.
00:39:32A loud slap echoed across the room.
00:39:35Charles' cheek instantly reddened.
00:39:37In great.
00:39:39After everything I've done for you, if you insist on being with a man, then get out of the Grant
00:39:45family.
00:39:46Despite his fury, his father still left him one last way out.
00:39:50You can still stay in this house.
00:39:52But only if you become a proper straight man.
00:39:55I will find you a suitable wife.
00:39:58A few days later, Charles met with his fiancé in private.
00:40:01The engagement was never real for either of us.
00:40:04After the deal with your family is complete, let's cancel it quietly.
00:40:08I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess.
00:40:11I already knew.
00:40:13You've never looked at me the way you look at him.
00:40:16After what happened that night, I understand now.
00:40:19She smiled faintly.
00:40:20Just be careful.
00:40:22Charles, your father isn't someone who gives up easily.
00:40:25I know.
00:40:26But I've already lost too much.
00:40:29I'm not losing him too.
00:40:30His eyes were red when he explained things to me.
00:40:33It was as if the person who was breaking out in cold sweat from the pain was him.
00:40:38I closed my eyes.
00:40:39I couldn't focus on what he was saying.
00:40:42All I could think of was what the doctor told me.
00:40:45The nerves in my leg had been injured so badly that the chances of recovery were very slim.
00:40:50Stop treating me like a fool!
00:40:53Get out!
00:40:54Charles squeezed a towel dry and came over to wipe off my sweat.
00:40:57I'm a dog.
00:40:59If I were really fooling you.
00:41:01I pushed him away and sneered.
00:41:03Are you addicted to being a dog?
00:41:05Charles pressed his lips but took it in stride.
00:41:08Yep.
00:41:08I'm addicted to it.
00:41:09How shameless.
00:41:11It was annoying.
00:41:13His father decided to let him be.
00:41:15Charles stayed in my ward every day, dressing prettily like a peacock.
00:41:19My grandmother didn't have great eyesight.
00:41:21While I was video calling her she asked me who the woman next to me was.
00:41:25Charles made sure his voice was soft when he quickly answered her.
00:41:28How are you, Grandma?
00:41:31I'm your granddaughter-in-law.
00:41:35Something must really be wrong with him.
00:41:37Charles refused to let the nurse's aide help me.
00:41:40He took care of my everyday needs personally.
00:41:42No one could last taking care of a patient like that.
00:41:46I didn't kick him out but waited for him to eventually vanish on his own.
00:41:50But three months passed and he only got better at taking care of me.
00:41:54He held the bedpan while pushing my legs apart.
00:41:56He kept mumbling while doing so.
00:42:01What a great opportunity.
00:42:03His mumbling made me shudder and I almost peed on his hand.
00:42:06Charles blinked.
00:42:07Is there something wrong with your hand?
00:42:10How about if I helped you hold it?
00:42:11Get out!
00:42:12He refused to leave and came back with hot water to wipe my body.
00:42:16His wet hands rubbed over me slowly.
00:42:19My eyelids kept twitching from his touch.
00:42:21He was torturing me on purpose.
00:42:23He wanted me to beg him.
00:42:25Charles could do whatever he wanted with me.
00:42:27I had to keep it between my legs.
00:42:30Are you happy to see me become a useless man because of you?
00:42:34Charles ignored me.
00:42:35He flung the towel into the basin and helped me put on my pants.
00:42:39I wanted to kick him but I couldn't move a single toe on my leg no matter how hard I
00:42:43tried.
00:42:44So I reached out to grab him and pressed him onto me.
00:42:47Aren't you an acrotoma feeling?
00:42:49I know you have lots of money.
00:42:52Name me a price.
00:42:54I'll consider letting you have fun with me.
00:42:56Charles held himself up with his arms stretched out on either side of me.
00:43:00An acrotomaphyl?
00:43:02Maybe.
00:43:03When I first saw you,
00:43:04I wondered how a limping, muscled man who was 5'9 could look so sexy.
00:43:10He lowered his eyes.
00:43:11The doctor said that even low chances are good chances.
00:43:14You should not give up.
00:43:16I'm not giving up.
00:43:17I want money.
00:43:19Charles rested his chin on my chest.
00:43:21How much do you want?
00:43:22I pushed his forehead away.
00:43:2510 million.
00:43:27That's nothing.
00:43:28He smiled at me as his eyes narrowed.
00:43:31He nuzzled his forehead in my palm.
00:43:33You know how much I'm worth worth.
00:43:35I am all yours.
00:43:37I don't want you.
00:43:39I want money.
00:43:40Charles slowly looked up at me.
00:43:42He glared at me ferociously.
00:43:44He suddenly stood up to take off his belt.
00:43:47You're asking for it.
00:43:49I closed my eyes.
00:43:51Remember to transfer my money to me after you're done.
00:43:54Time passed and he did nothing.
00:43:56I opened my eyes and he climbed onto my bed.
00:43:59I had to let him get what he wanted.
00:44:01Charles' voice was trembling when he called out to me.
00:44:05Hold on to me.
00:44:06I'm falling.
00:44:08I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as I ignored him.
00:44:12Charles took revenge when I gave him the cold shoulder.
00:44:15He played with me very slowly and refused to let me release.
00:44:18His hands and mouth teasing every inch of my chest and thighs while deliberately lingering on my crippled leg.
00:44:25Stroking and kissing the scars until I was shaking with frustration.
00:44:28He ground against me torturously slow, whispering how much he loved me broken like this until the pleasure bordered on
00:44:35agony.
00:44:36It was the first time I had experienced this.
00:44:39I wasn't embarrassed by it but felt like he was taking too much time.
00:44:44Did you forget to have lunch?
00:44:46You need to speed up and...
00:44:48Before I could finish my sentence, someone opened the door.
00:44:51I sat up right away and grabbed my blanket to cover him.
00:44:54It was another familiar roar.
00:44:56Charles Grant.
00:44:57It was Charles' father.
00:44:59I was stunned.
00:45:00Charles was covered under the blanket.
00:45:02He didn't even look back as he gave me a delighted look.
00:45:05You can get up.
00:45:07The door slammed heavily and I fell back to bed weakly.
00:45:10Why didn't you lock the door?
00:45:12Charles didn't feel embarrassed at all.
00:45:15What's wrong?
00:45:16It isn't like he hasn't seen anything more exciting than this.
00:45:20His lower half was naked as he got out of bed.
00:45:23He rubbed my leg gently.
00:45:25Can you feel anything?
00:45:27Someone knocked on the door from outside.
00:45:30Put on your clothes and get out here!
00:45:32Charles wasn't willing to leave and ignored the voice outside.
00:45:36I grabbed his pants and threw them in his face.
00:45:39That's your father, after all.
00:45:41Stop being rude.
00:45:43Charles left.
00:45:46After Charles reluctantly left the ward, his father pushed the door open again and stepped inside.
00:45:51The room fell into a dead silence.
00:45:53I could clearly hear my own heartbeat, heavy and painful.
00:45:57His father sat down by the bed.
00:45:59He tried to look friendly, but the stiffness in his face was obvious.
00:46:04I'm grateful that you saved my son's life.
00:46:06I'm not an unreasonable man.
00:46:08If Charles insists on being with you, I won't stop him anymore.
00:46:13I lowered my gaze to the flat space under the blanket where my legs should have been.
00:46:18A strong wave of self-loathing and inferiority surged up, almost choking me.
00:46:22Look at me.
00:46:23A useless cripple who lost both legs.
00:46:26How can I stand next to Charles Grant?
00:46:28He's rich, powerful, and brilliant.
00:46:31I'm nothing but a burden now.
00:46:33Someone who would only drag him down and embarrass the entire Grant family.
00:46:37I clenched the blanket tightly, my knuckles turning white.
00:46:41It was for money.
00:46:42My voice came out soft but steady.
00:46:44I don't like men.
00:46:45I was only with him because of the money.
00:46:47If you're truly grateful, please make him stop harassing me.
00:46:51I don't want to see him again.
00:46:52His father stared at me for a long time, as if judging whether I was telling the truth.
00:46:58Then he let out a long sigh.
00:47:00You're a sensible young man.
00:47:03To be honest, with your current condition, continuing this relationship will only ruin Charles.
00:47:09He carries the weight of the entire Grant family.
00:47:12He can't be dragged down by anyone.
00:47:15Especially not now.
00:47:16Every word he said stabbed straight into my deepest insecurities.
00:47:20He's right.
00:47:21I'm no longer qualified to stand by Charles' side.
00:47:24I would only become his weakness, his scandal, his burden.
00:47:28The more I thought about it, the heavier the shame and pain in my chest became.
00:47:32I understand.
00:47:33My voice was hoarse.
00:47:35I will leave him.
00:47:38Please tell him I never loved him.
00:47:40It was all about money from the beginning.
00:47:43His father looked a little surprised, but soon nodded with satisfaction.
00:47:47Good.
00:47:47This is the right choice for both of you.
00:47:50Charles' father was very generous.
00:47:52He transferred a large sum of money to my account, bought me a house in the quiet suburbs,
00:47:57and even hired a full-time caregiver and medical team for me.
00:48:01After my grandmother's condition improved, I was discharged and moved to the suburbs with her.
00:48:06It was the end of the year.
00:48:08During the school holidays, my younger brother Ethan came to visit.
00:48:12My grandmother almost threw him out at first because she didn't recognize him.
00:48:16Everything about her was fine now except she would ask about my legs almost every day,
00:48:21and every single time she asked I would think of Charles,
00:48:24but I never once regretted my decision to leave.
00:48:26I told myself this was the best ending for him and for me.
00:48:31She also wanted to know where her pretty granddaughter-in-law was.
00:48:35I massaged my leg while making up a random story about it.
00:48:39We're divorced.
00:48:40My grandmother slapped me on the head.
00:48:42Why did you divorce such a good wife?
00:48:44Did you do something wrong to make her mad?
00:48:46She was a cook during her younger days and had trained a strong hand.
00:48:50She would hit me like that every day.
00:48:52Charles pressed his lips but took it in stride.
00:48:55It made me wonder.
00:48:56She had forgotten about her son and grandson.
00:48:59Why did she remember Charles so well?
00:49:02Ethan helped me up.
00:49:03It's going to be Christmas soon.
00:49:05Shouldn't we get Dad back?
00:49:06I moved forward while holding on to the balance beams.
00:49:09I said softly,
00:49:11I won't be able to fight him back in this condition.
00:49:14Stop giving me trouble.
00:49:16Ethan was obedient enough to stay quiet.
00:49:19Our mother passed away when he was very young.
00:49:21He didn't remember anything.
00:49:23I would never acknowledge that gambler.
00:49:26He was the one who angered our grandmother into illness and caused our mother's death.
00:49:30He even took the money meant for treating my leg and ran away.
00:49:34If he didn't steal from me, I wouldn't have become a cripple.
00:49:38Someone might put a knife to my throat if he came back and started to gamble again.
00:49:42My grandmother would often ask for her granddaughter-in-law.
00:49:45I kept trying to figure out the right answer to avoid another beating from her.
00:49:49Every day there was at least one.
00:49:51I was about to get used to my head being beaten into mush.
00:49:54That was when she found her granddaughter-in-law.
00:49:57She called out in delight from the other side of the window.
00:50:00Charles!
00:50:01Come in!
00:50:02My wheelchair nearly went up in flames from turning the wheels too quickly.
00:50:06I sped past the sofa and stretched my neck out to look.
00:50:09My eye met Charles' in the snow.
00:50:12He was standing in the middle of the snow all alone.
00:50:14I looked away.
00:50:16There's no one there.
00:50:17Grandma, something must be wrong with your eyes.
00:50:20My eyes?
00:50:21Grandma sighed and gave me her hand.
00:50:23Ethan came downstairs.
00:50:24He was about to say something when I gave a death stare that rendered him silent.
00:50:30I bandaged my leg tightly and followed the doctor's instructions with my physiotherapy.
00:50:35My grandmother sat at the side while enjoying the opera.
00:50:38She mumbled about how Charles promised to watch the opera with her,
00:50:41and how he would always spend time chatting with her whenever she was bored.
00:50:45The snow got heavier while I was leaving to rest.
00:50:48Ethan could no longer focus on his reading.
00:50:50He came near to me and whispered,
00:50:52It's really cold out there.
00:50:54Holden, he might freeze to death.
00:50:57Maybe we should invite him inside.
00:50:59He wants to sleep with me.
00:51:00Ethan cursed out loud.
00:51:02He flung his book aside and rushed outside.
00:51:04Don't hit him!
00:51:05I can't afford to pay his medical fees if you hurt him!
00:51:09Charles was finally gone.
00:51:11It cheered me up and I returned to my room after dinner.
00:51:13My muscles were aching from overdoing my physiotherapy.
00:51:17When I grabbed the hand from the bathroom to sit on the bath stool,
00:51:20my arms went numb and I fell to the ground.
00:51:23I fell and got up again.
00:51:26I fell again.
00:51:29After being a cripple for a long time, I was used to washing up on my own.
00:51:33It had been a long time since I was in such a mess.
00:51:36Footsteps were heard outside the bathroom.
00:51:38I looked up right away.
00:51:40Don't come in!
00:51:41Ethan!
00:51:42The footsteps sounded even more anxious.
00:51:44A thought suddenly popped into my mind.
00:51:47I wanted to crawl over to lock the door.
00:51:49But the person behind the door was even faster.
00:51:52The doorknob turned and the person entered.
00:51:55Get out!
00:51:56Get out!
00:51:57Charles ignored me.
00:51:58He came over and turned on the tap to fill the bathtub with water.
00:52:02He came over to carry me, but I pushed him to the ground.
00:52:05I said get out!
00:52:07From where?
00:52:09I came in through the window.
00:52:11He rolled up his sleeves and showed me a small wound on his arm.
00:52:14I almost lost my footing.
00:52:16This is the third floor.
00:52:18If I'm lucky enough, I'll accompany you in this condition after my fall.
00:52:23If I'm unlucky, I'll just...
00:52:25I wanted to kick him, but I couldn't move a single toe on my leg no matter how hard I
00:52:30tried.
00:52:30Charles Grant!
00:52:31He broke out with a laugh.
00:52:34You can't even bear to hear something bad about me.
00:52:37How can you deny liking me?
00:52:39What a stupid man.
00:52:40I had never denied liking him.
00:52:42Of course, I never admitted liking him either.
00:52:45Those were lame words.
00:52:47Lame and superficial.
00:52:49Charles sat cross-legged on the floor.
00:52:51He tilted his head and looked at me.
00:52:53Would you be willing to be with me if I fell and became disabled?
00:52:58Shut up!
00:52:59I leaned against the cold tiles to move further away from him.
00:53:03When I slept with you, it was for money.
00:53:06Now that I have enough, I have no reason to force myself.
00:53:09Charles tisked softly.
00:53:11He didn't buy it.
00:53:12Little Holden between your legs is saying hi to me.
00:53:15He's more honest than you are.
00:53:17I lowered my eyes to look.
00:53:18I leaned against the tiles to reach for a towel.
00:53:22Charles suddenly came near.
00:53:23He held me below the armpits and threw me into the bathtub.
00:53:27Warm water overflowed from it, and Charles' shoes and socks got wet.
00:53:32He removed his belt and stripped naked very quickly.
00:53:35His leg was about to reach into the bathtub.
00:53:37I pushed his leg away.
00:53:38Stay away from me.
00:53:39You're disgusting.
00:53:41Who are you calling disgusting?
00:53:43You.
00:53:44I looked up at him.
00:53:45Have some conscience.
00:53:47Charles.
00:53:48Stay away from me, on account that I've saved you before.
00:53:51He got mad.
00:53:52Charles laughed.
00:53:53He clenched his fists and released them.
00:53:55In the end, he punched me.
00:53:57Fortunately, I was used to it and didn't feel the pain at all.
00:54:00My tongue touched the roof of my mouth.
00:54:02I could taste blood.
00:54:03He squeezed some shower gel onto his palm and lathered it all over me.
00:54:07Yep.
00:54:09I'm elated.
00:54:10I realized you're more fun when you're paralyzed instead of crippled.
00:54:15I like you more than before, Holden.
00:54:18That was when I looked away.
00:54:19You're crazy.
00:54:20Charles rubbed hard on my chest.
00:54:23My flesh squeezed through his fingers.
00:54:25Your chest has gotten bigger.
00:54:27I bent over to pull my leg out of the water.
00:54:29I won't be this way forever.
00:54:31Look.
00:54:31My muscles are beginning to atrophy.
00:54:34My legs would become uglier with time.
00:54:37And my temper would be worse.
00:54:39You'll have enough of me one day.
00:54:40He interrupted me with a snort.
00:54:42He looked down at me with a burning gaze.
00:54:44It was like a wild cat that had found fresh fish.
00:54:47To be honest, I'm looking forward to it.
00:54:50Have you forgotten I'm a pervert?
00:54:52You're just how I like it.
00:54:54He was crazy.
00:54:55I couldn't communicate with him.
00:54:57Charles trembled and said pitifully,
00:54:59It's cold.
00:55:00Let me in.
00:55:01Before I could answer, his long legs strode in, and he squeezed into the bathtub.
00:55:06He sat on my useless legs.
00:55:09Charles soaked himself in hot water and sighed comfortably.
00:55:12He had gotten skinnier.
00:55:13His skin was fair and thin.
00:55:15I could see his bones through it.
00:55:17What happened to you?
00:55:19He didn't seem to care.
00:55:20My dad forbade me from seeing you, so I went on a hunger strike.
00:55:24I skipped nine meals in three days.
00:55:27If my brother didn't come home, I could have died.
00:55:30Charles squirmed while speaking.
00:55:32He was trying to cozy up to me by being pitiful.
00:55:35I miss you so much.
00:55:37Holden, please hold me in my arms.
00:55:40My eyes welled up with tears.
00:55:42They almost fell down my cheeks.
00:55:44I gripped tight at the side of the bathtub.
00:55:47You're still so young.
00:55:48You can't like a disabled man forever.
00:55:51You'll get tired of me.
00:55:53Just stay away from me.
00:55:54You'll make me want to kill you.
00:55:56I'll end up strangling you.
00:55:58Isn't it better for us to end here?
00:56:00Charles pulled open my fingers and lifted his head.
00:56:02He placed my hand on his slender neck.
00:56:05I don't like you right now.
00:56:07Go ahead and strangle me.
00:56:09I tightened my grip just enough to feel his pulse,
00:56:11then pulled him into a deep, rough kiss instead.
00:56:14Our bodies pressed together in the warm water,
00:56:17sliding and grinding as his hands never left my scarred leg.
00:56:20I'm caressing it possessively while we moved together
00:56:23until the water splashed over the edge
00:56:25and we were both breathless and spent.
00:56:27Ethan was taken aback when he saw Charles
00:56:30wheeling me out of the elevator the next morning.
00:56:32The door slammed heavily,
00:56:34and I fell back to bed weakly.
00:56:35But someone was faster.
00:56:37Charles immediately reached out and hid behind Grandma,
00:56:40complaining in a wrong tone.
00:56:42Grandma?
00:56:43Ethan wants to hit me again.
00:56:44Ethan got a solid smack on the back of his head.
00:56:47He rubbed the spot, looking gloomy and aggrieved.
00:56:50I'm her real grandson, okay?
00:56:53I watched the two of them bickering at the dining table
00:56:55and muttered helplessly,
00:56:57He's a guest.
00:56:58Show some manners, Ethan.
00:57:01Charles didn't treat himself like a guest at all.
00:57:04In fact, he didn't even treat me like a fragile patient.
00:57:07Whenever the weather was good, he would push me out for a walk.
00:57:10When we came across children racing remote-controlled cars,
00:57:13he would turn my wheelchair into his own racing car
00:57:16and compete with them.
00:57:18Every time he won a lollipop,
00:57:20he would proudly wave it in front of me
00:57:21but refuse to let me eat it.
00:57:23That was really horrible of him.
00:57:25The worst part was that his enthusiasm never lasted long.
00:57:29One night he came back very late again.
00:57:32The faint smell of alcohol lingered on his neck and collar.
00:57:35I had to use every ounce of willpower
00:57:37not to bite him right there.
00:57:39Charles.
00:57:41If you meet someone you actually like,
00:57:44don't hide it from me.
00:57:46I'll let you go.
00:57:48My voice cracked halfway through the sentence.
00:57:50Charles didn't answer with words.
00:57:53Instead, he pushed me down onto the bed.
00:57:55The next second, the room was filled with heavy breathing and broken moans.
00:58:00Slow down.
00:58:02You're breaking me.
00:58:03I kissed the sensitive spot behind his ear,
00:58:06my voice low and hoarse.
00:58:08Poor thing.
00:58:10Don't worry.
00:58:12I'll hold you tight.
00:58:14Holden, you bastard.
00:58:18He lowered his eyes,
00:58:19his beautiful brows tightly furrowed,
00:58:21looking both angry and helpless.
00:58:23This is all your fault.
00:58:25Yes.
00:58:26This is all my fault.
00:58:28Charles got so mad that he didn't come home for three whole days.
00:58:31He didn't message me nor give me a video call.
00:58:34I could only see him when he made a video call to my grandmother.
00:58:38But even then, he would cover the screen.
00:58:41Once I left, he would smile at my grandmother again.
00:58:44I made his favorite dishes and got his driver to deliver them to his office.
00:58:48But the driver said the front desk refused to let him in.
00:58:51So I wheeled myself inside, but no one stopped me.
00:58:54Charles was sitting behind his desk.
00:58:56He didn't look at me.
00:58:57He was staring at the computer screen with a lusty smile on his face.
00:59:01I remained stoic.
00:59:04Stop working and have your lunch.
00:59:06This isn't work.
00:59:08I'm looking at a handsome man.
00:59:10I pulled a piece of wet tissue to wipe my hand.
00:59:13I opened the lunchbox and put out his food.
00:59:15Have lunch first.
00:59:16You can look at him later.
00:59:18It's better to look at him now.
00:59:20It'll give me a better appetite.
00:59:22I could no longer take it.
00:59:24I was about to leave when he showed me the screen.
00:59:26It was footage from a security camera.
00:59:29It was footage of me working on my abs in the gym.
00:59:32I had no idea when the security cameras were installed.
00:59:36While I was going crazy thinking of him, he could see me with a click of the mouse.
00:59:40How wonderful.
00:59:41This was so unfair.
00:59:43Charles started eating.
00:59:44Aren't you a funny one?
00:59:46You stare at your phone a million times a day but refuse to call me first.
00:59:50I was looking at the time.
00:59:51Charles' expression turned cold.
00:59:54Why do you refuse to say anything nice to me?
00:59:56Are you happy only after you finally get rid of me?
00:59:59No, that wasn't true.
01:00:00I was afraid of getting too close and he would get bored with me quickly.
01:00:05I've never thought about getting rid of you.
01:00:07He glared at me.
01:00:08That better be true or I'll dismantle your wheels.
01:00:12Charles ordered me coldly after that.
01:00:14Come over here.
01:00:16I pressed my hand against the wheel.
01:00:18I was hesitant.
01:00:18I don't think we should do this in the office.
01:00:22What if someone walks in?
01:00:23No one will walk in.
01:00:25Come over right now.
01:00:27I shouldn't have believed him.
01:00:29We were halfway into it when his secretary came in with a document for her boss to sign.
01:00:34I had him pinned against the desk, our bodies grinding hot and urgent, his hands clutching
01:00:39my scarred leg as he moaned into my mouth.
01:00:41Things happened quickly and I pushed down his pretty little head.
01:00:44Charles didn't panic when he heard the commotion.
01:00:47He looked up with a naughty smile and gave me a small bite on the abdomen.
01:00:51I took a sharp breath silently.
01:00:53I almost screamed.
01:00:55He was playing a lowbrow trick on me.
01:00:58Sweat dripped from my forehead but I maintained my smile as I said to the secretary, who looked
01:01:03bewildered,
01:01:04He's busy with something.
01:01:05You should come back later.
01:01:07We continued with our little escapade until sunset, hands and mouths everywhere, hips moving
01:01:14in that familiar, desperate rhythm while he kept whispering how much he loved every broken
01:01:19part of me.
01:01:20Charles didn't want to take the car to go home but was too lazy to walk.
01:01:24He stood at the back of my wheelchair and used my ears to navigate.
01:01:28It was quiet along the way.
01:01:30The flowers were blooming beautifully.
01:01:33He popped his head out from the back of my shoulders.
01:01:35Do you know what camellias mean?
01:01:37I slowed down while shaking my head.
01:01:40He sniffed the flowery scent in the air.
01:01:42His voice was slightly hoarse.
01:01:44How could you treat my love so lightly?
01:01:47I had hurt him.
01:01:48This realization panicked me.
01:01:50I didn't.
01:01:51Yes.
01:01:53You did.
01:01:54His finger gently caressed the side of my neck.
01:01:57There are times I wanted to just kill you.
01:01:59It hurts me to see you look like it doesn't matter to you if I left.
01:02:03I'm sorry.
01:02:04No one wants your apology.
01:02:06Charles hugged me from behind.
01:02:08Just say something sweet to cheer me up.
01:02:10Holden, what would you do if I fell for someone else?
01:02:13I grabbed his hand tight.
01:02:15Strangle you.
01:02:16Charles smiled.
01:02:18He kissed me as the scent of the flowers enveloped us.
01:02:21That's better.
01:02:22Come on.
01:02:23Holden.
01:02:25Take me home.
