Chapter 3

The Wedding Day

The day of the wedding finally arrived, and Max was bustling with activity, ensuring everything was perfect. As he was coordinating the final details, he noticed a familiar face in the crowd - his boyfriend, Ethan.

Max's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and he felt a mix of emotions: surprise, excitement, and a hint of anxiety. He hadn't told Finn about Ethan,there isn’t any need to though, he didn’t ask about my personal life

As the ceremony began, Max tried to focus on the proceedings, but his attention kept drifting to Ethan, who was watching him with a supportive smile. Max's heart swelled with love and gratitude, knowing Ethan was there to support him.

Just as the vows were being exchanged, Finn's gaze locked onto Ethan, and his expression darkened. Max's heart sank, anticipating a confrontation. Finn didn't approach him. Instead, he remained seated, his eyes fixed on Ethan, his expression unreadable.

When the ceremony concluded, Max breathed a sigh of relief. The wedding had gone off without a hitch, and now it was time to celebrate. He scanned the room, his eyes locking onto Ethan, who was watching him with a proud smile.

As the guests began to mingle, Max made his way over to Ethan, his heart racing with excitement. "Hey, babe," he said, wrapping his arm around Ethan's waist. "I'm so glad you're here."

Ethan leaned in, his lips brushing against Max's ear. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world. You did an amazing job, Max."

Max's face flushed with pride as he introduced Ethan to the group, including Finn, who was sitting down with his girlfriend, Victoria. Finn's gaze lingered on Ethan, his expression unreadable, but Max sensed a hint of discomfort.

As the after-party got underway, Max noticed Finn's eyes drifting towards him and Ethan, his gaze lingering a little too long. Max's instincts told him that Finn was struggling with something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Despite the tension, Max was determined to enjoy the celebration. He laughed and chatted with the guests, his arm wrapped tightly around Ethan's waist. Finn, on the other hand, remained seated, his eyes fixed on the couple, his expression a mask of calm.

As the night wore on, Max couldn't shake off the feeling that Finn was hiding something. Little did he know, the truth was about to come to light, and it would change everything...

As the after-party raged on, Victoria noticed the lingering gazes between Finn and Max, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was going on. She was too busy laughing and chatting with the other guests to pay much attention.

Meanwhile, Ethan had had a few too many drinks and was now shamelessly flirting with Max, his hands roaming over Max's body as they danced to the music. Max, feeling a little tipsy himself, didn't mind one bit, and the two of them shared a deep, passionate kiss, much to the delight of the surrounding crowd.

"I miss you, baby," Ethan whispered in Max's ear, his voice husky with emotion.

Max's heart skipped a beat as he pulled Ethan in closer, their bodies swaying to the music. "I miss you too, babe," he replied, his voice barely audible over the noise of the party.

Finn, still seated, watched the scene unfold with a mixture of confusion and discomfort. He couldn't understand why he felt so drawn to Max, and why the sight of him with Ethan made him feel so...restless.

Victoria, noticing Finn's gaze, leaned in close. "Hey, what's wrong, babe?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.

Finn shook his head, his eyes never leaving Max and Ethan. "Nothing, just...enjoying the party."

Victoria raised an eyebrow but didn't press the issue, instead focusing on the celebration around them.

As the night wore on, Max and Ethan continued to dance and laugh together, their love for each other radiating like a beacon. Finn, on the other hand, remained seated, his eyes fixed on the couple, his expression a mask of calm, but his mind racing with thoughts he couldn't quite comprehend...

(Finn's POV)

I watched as Max and his boyfriend, Ethan, danced and laughed together, their love for each other palpable. I couldn't help but feel a pang of...something. I didn't know what it was, but it made me uncomfortable.

I tried to focus on Victoria, my girlfriend, who was chatting with me, but my eyes kept drifting back to Max. There was something about him that drew me in, something that made me want to know more about him.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. What was I doing? I was in a relationship, and yet, here I was, gazing at another man like a lovesick fool.

Victoria noticed my gaze and leaned in close. "Hey, what's wrong, babe?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.

I forced a smile, trying to play it off. "Nothing, just enjoying the party."

But the truth was, I wasn't enjoying the party at all. I was stuck in my own thoughts, wondering why I couldn't stop thinking about Max.

As the night wore on, I found myself glancing at Max more and more, my mind racing with thoughts I couldn't quite comprehend. I knew I needed to shake this off, but I couldn't help myself.

I was Finn Thompson, the billionaire with a reputation for being ruthless and calculating. I didn't do vulnerability or emotions. But as I watched Max and Ethan share a passionate kiss, I felt something crack inside of me, something that made me question everything I thought I knew about myself...

(Victoria's POV)

I couldn't help but notice the way Finn was gazing at Max, his eyes fixed on him with an intensity that made me feel uneasy. I tried to brush it off, thinking maybe he was just admiring the wedding decorations or something, but deep down, I knew better.

Finn had always been a bit of a mystery to me, but this was different. This was like he was seeing something that no one else could see, something that drew him in like a magnet.

I leaned in close, trying to get his attention. "Hey, what's wrong, babe?" I asked, my voice laced with concern.

He forced a smile, trying to play it off. "Nothing, just enjoying the party."

But I knew him too well. I could see the tension in his body, the way his eyes kept drifting back to Max. Something was going on, and I was determined to find out what it was.

As the night wore on, I watched Finn's gaze follow Max around the room, his eyes lingering on him like he was trying to memorize every detail. I felt a pang of jealousy, wondering if I was losing my grip on him.

But I pushed that thought aside, focusing instead on the fact that something was clearly bothering Finn. And I was going to find out what it was, no matter what it takes

(Ethan's POV)

I couldn't believe how happy I was to see Max, my boyfriend, shining like a star at the wedding. He had worked so hard to make this day perfect, and it showed. Every detail was impeccable, and the love in the air was palpable.

As we danced and laughed together, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this man in my life. Max was my rock, my confidant, my everything. And seeing him so happy, surrounded by our friends and family, filled my heart with joy.

But as the night wore on, I noticed a strange tension in the air. Finn, the groom's brother, kept gazing at Max with an intensity that made me uncomfortable. I tried to brush it off, thinking maybe he was just admiring Max's handiwork, but deep down, I knew better.

I pulled Max in closer, my arms wrapping tightly around him. "I love you, babe," I whispered in his ear.

Max smiled, his eyes sparkling with happiness. "I love you too, Ethan."

As we shared a passionate kiss, I felt a sense of possessiveness wash over me. Max was mine, and I wasn't about to let anyone or anything come between us.
