《Business Wife》Chapter 1
Advertisement
"I'm sorry Alex, but we are not possible," I said coldly to the person in front of me.
Alexander Monte, one of the hottest guys on our campus. Many girls are dreaming to be his girlfriend, but not me.
It's not because I don't like him nor I don't love him, it's just that I don't have the right to love because I only exist for my family's business.
Alex is a good guy and a good friend. But I can't lead him on. I don't have a heart to love.
I want him to stay with me as my friend, but because of what he did, I need to stay away from him.
I'm pissed because of what he did, I lose a friend AGAIN. I make it clear to all of them that they can't like me because I can't. How many times do I have to keep telling them for them to understand that THEY CAN'T LIKE ME?!
"Mara why can't I love you?" He said. Sadness is visible in his voice.
"You know why," I said almost a whisper.
"But Mara I'm freaking rich! If you are telling me that you only exist because of business... then so be it. My family's business is a good asset to your family business. So I don't understand why we can't be together!" He said almost pissed.
I just look at him with no emotion and said "My family has already chosen the guy that I will marry. And it's not you."
His forehead furrowed. "Who is he?" He whispered.
"Maru."
I saw his defeated expression. Just hearing Maru's name he knew that he has no way to win.
"Sorry, Alex," I said before walking away from him.
When I reached home, I went straight to my room and lie down on my bed.

I close my eyes and I just let my tears flow.
How many friends do I need to lose?! Why do they keep on liking me and break the rule?!
What I did with Alex is not easy.
As I said, Alex is a good friend, he's one of my closest friends. I want him to stay but unfortunately, I can't.
I was 10 years old when I understand my purpose.
My Dad married my Mom for business. There is no love in them. I am not made out of love, but out of obligation and business.
I was also at the same age when I knew who will be my husband.
He is Andrew Maru Ottave.
What a great choice! Maru's family is the richest in the Philippines, they belong in the top 10 richest people in the world.
Maru and I knew our future.
But we never became friends nor lovers.
Both of us give no effort to know each other, nor tried to be friends at least.
We saw each other in school, but we never approach one another, even just to say hi or hello.
Even when we meet at some events, we never approach one another.
Just like Alex, Maru is also known in school. He's the hottest guy on our campus.
We both knew our destiny. I chose not to commit to a relationship. I don't want to hurt someone because I knew that I can't fight for it.
But unlike me, Maru chooses to be in a relationship.
From what I've heard, Maru has been with Jana, his girlfriend for years, and he seems serious with him.
I just shake my head at that thought. What will happen to them when we get married?
That's exactly the reason why I'm avoiding commitments. I don't like complications, because we both knew that we can't do anything about it.
Our life is not like a drama on television. Because we knew that even if we tried to fight for it, we can't win against our parents.
They will just make the people we love live in hell. And in the end, we will just give in to them and accept defeat.
There is only one thing I allowed myself to love. And that is business where I am made for.

8 110The Brotherhood
Follow Jacob as he heads off to begin his academic career as a freshman at Kingsland University. Although KU is one of the country's most prestigious institutions for higher learning, a school where many of the world's elite send their sons and daughter, it was not why Jacob picked Kingsland. Like many of the young men attending KU for the first time, his sole desire, above all else, was to become a member of The Brotherhood. He's heard the many stories and rumors surrounding this mysterious and secretive organization. Jacob is eager to peel back the layers and discover The Brotherhood's secrets, to wield its power, but will he be able to handle the truth that is their reality? Can he step thru that door and never look back? Those are just some questions he will face on his journey of self-discovery. Will Jacob be strong enough to see it thru to the end? Are you? _______________________ ***Content Warning*** This story focuses on gay characters and places them in sexual situations. Although the sexual content is not the story’s main focus, it does appear throughout, especially in the earlier chapters. Feel free to give The Brotherhood a pass if it's not your cup of tea. But if you give it a chance, it might surprise you. The story is not what you expect. I first posted The Brotherhood online in 2001 and finished it in 2013. Over the years, it developed a loyal following that has been waiting for a sequel for many moons. That time has finally come. I want to release a more updated version of TBH before dropping the new chapters for the sequel. I hope you enjoy it!

[ Gay polyamory/polyfidelity ]I'm currently editing this book and trying to finish it. Please keep in mind that this was originally written like 5 years ago. Avery's parents motivated him to love everyone, no matter their differences. Gay? That's cool. Different Race? Sweet. Different ways of life? Awesome. But when he gets sent off to be housed in Canada with other boys similar to him for being gay you could probably guess he was rather shocked. Sent off without another goodbye, he's left to battle his own internal war of self hate, addiction, love and acceptance. His parents left him for good, and it only gets worse the longer he stays in his now forever home.Can his housemates just maybe help him from spiraling downward? ⚠️ Warning! ⚠️There may be some triggering subjects in this book including;Body Image issues DepressionThoughts of SuicideCover Created By - @1-800-get-yeeted
