Chapter 1: End My Love (1)
***
“Please, hear the voice of reason!” In a panicked manner, the actor’s manager spoke to him through a megaphone that reached the top of the tall building.
A top the high building, with cameras pointed directly at the actor from a helicopter, he stood there and replied with desperation. “Not until the CEO comes here himself!”
What was this situation?
It might have started a while ago, but never would anyone assumed it would get this far… Oscar was a popular starlet, he’d risen to fame in the past three years, doing one large production after another. When he ended up at his current agency, he had a chance to sleep with the CEO and he did, causing him to madly fall in love with him…
But the CEO Griffin had no intentions of ever having anything more than a one night stand with that smalltime starlet…
And now this… Since Oscar’s advances were being pushed aside time and time again… He ended up putting an ultimatum off to the CEO.
‘Become mine, or I will disappear forever.’
It was scary how far one would go for love, it was terrifying to consider that this was the reality of the world they lived in. Even the most talented and rich of people would succumb to their emotions at some point.
“What should we do, sir? He’s made the news… if we don’t show up-” Inside the expensive limousine of the CEO, his assistant spoke to him in an overly worried manner.
“I won’t go there, if he wants to throw himself off that’s his decision. Make sure the media coverage is suppressed by the next day. This will wear off as well.” Griffin’s cold voice spoke with an iciness that made it difficult to even think of his as human.
“But sir…” The assistant looked more worried than ever.
“What kind of a leader I’d be if I allowed a smalltime actor to boss me around?” Griffin asked, his attitude continued to get colder and his tone more stern as he locked eyes with his assistant. Crossing his legs, he glanced across the screen to the face of the man that dared try to force his hand. “Besides, he’s already lived his worth, his contract would have been active for only three more months.” He added in at last, showing not a shred of care for the young man that would lose his life.
The assistant fell silent. Of course he knew these parts of the CEO, he’s worked with him for the longest time and yet still seeing the way the man didn’t even stutter while weighing another human’s life and his own business… he felt like he had shivers run down his spine…
Back to the scene that causes people’s hearts to tremble, those that loved seeing Oscar perform were watching the live footage with their eyes barely open, the tears that flown out of their eyes were enough to cause a river…
Oscar stood a top the tall building ready to do what he’d set out to do… “If only… he’d just care enough to show up…” Standing there and watching the night’s glimmering lights in the distance. Each building on the horizon looked like it was glad in complete darkness only the silhouette of it showing, and the lights of the people’s windows showing through made it look lively again…
Oscar’s own heart was being squeezed, he thought about it for a while but his life did revolve around the other man. The passionate love he had for him was like no other, it was borderline obsession…
Can obsession truly be called love if he’d rather the CEO choose him over himself? It was strange… now that he was stepping closer to the edge he didn’t know what else to say or do…
His thoughts would soon enough disappear and instead of a widely popular starlet he would be reduced to just another spot on the pavement beneath him…
Was this large of a sacrifice truly worth for a man?
Was there any other hidden intention behind his actions?
It was too late now…
Oscar stepped over the edge and embraced the fall, he stared up at the sky as he fell down, it looked dark and cloudy, somehow reflecting his own heart…
Then everything went dark…
The crowd around gasped, the men and women at home watching the news were also on the verge of collapse…
Was this the death of a movie star?
They rushed him off to the hospital, there was the faintest pulse possible, there was hope for him, there was…
Everyone wished for him to live, maybe out of their own greed, out of their own desire for this man, out of their own selfish needs… They wanted him to live…
That night it was a wish, a wish that might have been said a thousand times by a million different people…
A wish that might have or haven’t been heard by a higher power…
‘Don’t let him die.’
Oscar felt his mind was heavy as he slowly opened his eyes… However… the first time he saw his reflection he realized he wasn’t in his own body…
He was still Oscar, but not the one that he was before…
A man at the age of 45 that died during military duty. That was his identity. He had wanted to live a peaceful life on the offshore of some island and have a nice scenery to look out into the world…
But his death was sudden and unexpected due to a bomb detonating in the building he was investigating… but he should have been dead… so why was he here?
The old man was reborn as a youngling once more, what’s more with a man that shared the same name as him. Only this young man was a celebrity with a beautiful face that seemed almost too pretty to be a man’s… And a reputation of his countless movie roles that preceded him…
“I’m… alive…” Was everything Oscar could mumble at that moment. Even within the hospital’s bleak walls he could feel his pulse was stabilized maybe even quickened a bit. Soon enough Doctors came to examine him. He’d survived… but on what cost?
When this man was no longer the actor that everyone adored but another man altogether, did the people’s collective wish really mean anything at all?
It had been a month after the incident and the current Oscar had gotten to know more of his current identity, but it felt strange…
“Throwing your life away for a man? Not even a woman…” Oscar was a military man, he felt is was a noble cause to risk one’s life for another. However when it came to love he wasn’t gay. Thus he couldn’t understand the sentiment as well.
“It’s an entire miracle you survived! Oh, how I prayed every night for you to live… I was terrified…” His manager Jamie spoke to him ever so lovingly. The man was 35 and it felt like he was the other’s guardian given the way he cried such bitter tears for him.
Oscar couldn’t understand that, this child who’s body he got reborn with didn’t have a family, he only had fame. And a part of him believed that’s the reason he sleeked out the love of the CEO…
“Please tell me you will never do something like that again! NO, swear it even!” Jamie complained loudly and begged even louder than before.
“Don’t worry, I have no interest in that man.” Oscar reassured him. It was the truth, although the previous owner of the body might have been madly in love with the CEO. The current man couldn’t care any less for him whatsoever.
“I see… I guess it’s a good thing you lost your memory partially…” Jamie breathed a sigh of relief as he rubbed at his eyes that looked tired. He must have had many sleepless nights that made him like this. “I am still very sorry for what I will have to do now though…” He apologized by bowing his head which wasn’t customary for their parts so the other felt it was odd.
“What is it?” Before Oscar could say or mention anything more he felt someone slip up behind him and put a cloth to his mouth. He was a trained military man and he reacted quickly…. But at that moment he understood just how weak the body of the actor was.
His technique couldn’t do anything to hurt the man behind him and the chemicals that had been brought to his nose quickly made him succumb to darkness…
Chapter 2: End My Love (2)
***
Jamie drove Oscar to a luxury part of town, a part where you couldn’t even get through your car with without permission. The reason was simple…
Due to Oscar’s current fame being good but his financial aspect being the opposite, Jamie didn’t have the money nor influence to give Oscar good treatment at the hospital. It was a matter of life and death and he’s struck a deal with an unsavory man…
“I’m sorry, please forgive me one day…” Jamie continued to apologize but Oscar was unconscious and unable to hear him either way.
Oscar was brought inside the mansion and put to a bed. It was a comfortable bed where the man slept for hours until his consciousness had begen to come back.
“Please drink this…” A maid came into the room and offered him water, without thinking Jamie drank it and dozed off again only now he felt hot. He wanted to strip off his clothes, it felt like his mouth was closing off…
Soon he heard footsteps inside the room. It was quiet for a bit but then someone embraced him. Oscar’s heart felt heavy but his breathing was shallow. He felt the heat rising and making him feel unsettled.
Without thinking he searched out for the man as if to find some solace in him… The other found this amusing…
They slept together, unexpectedly it was hot and it made both of them sweat out buckets. The constant wet sounds and the slamming of bodied against each other, the passionate shallow breaths and the kisses exchanged…
At some point maybe due to whatever drug they’d fed him, Oscar didn’t feel like this was too bad, but then he felt a pain a stabbing sensation in the pit of his stomach. The other man who’s face he couldn’t even see was inside him. He felt like the heat how was more painful than anything.
“You’re surprisingly good… even in that state.” The man’s tough voice and the cruel demeanor. The rough way in which he embraced the man, the way that lacked any sympathy or gentleness...
What a world they lived in...
Oscar couldn’t even enjoy being released from the hospital before feeling like he needed to re-enter it again… It was only the following morning that he was now aware of what happened.
“So that’s it… a deal that I’d stay with you for a month and you get to do whatever you want… for the sake of covering my medical expenses?” Oscar asked just to clarify the current circumstances he was in.
“Are you not satisfied with the conditions? Because I’m not willing to change them. Besides I’ve already pre-paid for you, so you’re mine. I’ll grow bored of you soon though, not many last long.” The man who seemed arrogant beyond belief stood there with a smile upon his face. He had bright blond hair almost like it was painted on but it was natural. And a pair of deep blue eyes that made him look like modern royalty…
Only he had no courtesy as the royals would and he was definitely not a gentleman but a beast that had chosen to embrace a half conscious man…
Oscar hated the feeling, his lower back was killing him and this might have been more strenuous exercise than he’d done in his lifetime…
“Can I…” Oscar was thinking of a way out but all his ways were blocked. He wasn’t stupid enough to be fooled again, but he understood that this was what it was. He had to remain there regardless.
“Don’t think you get to runaway.” The man who now in broad daylight, Oscar realized looked really handsome, even for his own standards, again he wasn’t attracted to men, or so he believed.
The man’s name was Robert, he was a business tycoon and one that enjoyed playing around with beautiful people. Only he was a bit messed up in the head, his playing around usually lasted a week and sometimes even less.
After he found that out through the servants Oscar’s heart was calmer than ever. He knew he’d already passed day one with that man, so a few more wouldn’t make much of a difference…
Only he didn’t know if he could get used to the discomfort in his abdomen…
The servants of the household treated him well. Although the man had been cruel in bed, was now actually quite considerate when it came down to it. He wasn’t there during the day but only at night. And they didn’t necessarily impede on the other’s life too much.
Oscar found that surprisingly comfortable, but even more than that… he had a comfortable life for the first time in his existence!
Did he truly have to be reborn to experience at last the spoils of his labor?!
He’d had to work for his country from the age of 18 till his own years. He’d never had the chance to retire and enjoy the money he’d spend his life collecting.
Which reminded him, he never had kids or a family, no girlfriend or wife so the money he had was surely still untouched!
He’d definitely go and retrieve it so he could live his new life well… However right now he had to face that man each night until the other grew bored of him…
“You know, you’re interesting…” Robert remarked after another few nights of sleeping with the man.
Oscar at that point realized something, he’d rather embrace this man wholeheartedly rather than struggle and suffer. When met with inescapable circumstances, one had to adapt to survive.
And in this case it was the only thing he could do…
“Well, since it’s all that I can do right now I guess that’s that.” Oscar was a man in his forties after all. He wasn’t used to embracing men or even less being embraced by a man, but he wasn’t a closed off person. He knew there were some of his comrades that partook in such activities themselves. So he’d always known about it.
Although he’s sure he can’t develop such intimate feelings towards a man, he wasn’t one to deny his body pleasure if it came down to it.
