Blue sat opposite Miranda Vince, a top solicitor and the lawyer of Drake Alexander. She is an elegant lady, towering over his five feet- four ass.
She had brunette, curly hair, and smoky brown eyes.
" So, you're saying that for me to be released, I have to sign this contract?" Blue asked carefully, gazing at the contract on top of the table.
" Yes, that's the term for your release." She replied, curtly. Blue reached out for the contract, he picked it up and opened the paper, and started reading through it. there were only four rules he had to obey.
The first rule of the contract stated that he had to move into Drake's house. he had no problem with that if the man was going to fend for him.
The second rule stated that he should never question Drake's actions and he found that part tricky because Drake was a mysterious man and everything he did confuse him and so, he always had lots of questions for the man.
The third rule stated that anything he saw while living with Drake shall not be said outside or to a third party or he would be sent to jail for breaching of contract and he would spend ten years in jail there…
Blue raised his head from the papers and looked at the lady opposite him who was staring at him with a blank expression on her face.
" Is there any question you want to ask?"
" uhh… the third rule, what's that about?" Blue asked, curiously.
" Mr. Alexander doesn't want his business to be aired out in public, no matter what you see or hear there while living with him has to be taken to his grave."
Blue shuddered at Miranda's explanation and he hummed in reply.
He went on and read the final rule that stated that as of the minute he signed the contract, Drake Alexander owned him and Blue was bound to be loyal to him, till death do them apart.
The terms of the contract were so creepy and everything seemed like something out of a gore novel and he was having doubts about it.
What if he saw Drake doing something so despicable or killing an innocent person? should he just keep mum about it? does it mean that he would be thrown in jail if he ever reported Drake?
" I can see that you're having some doubts about the contract. Should I send it to Mr. Alexander? Miranda asked, Blue sighed and nodded.

" So little bird, what did you call me here for? wasn't Miranda clear enough?" Drake asked, smiling at the younger man who looked so distressed.
" Did you kill Mccall?" Blue asked, straight to the point. Drake sent him a pointed look and when he saw Blue match his stare, he burst into laughter.
" You're so hilarious, little bird."
" Don't mess with me, what did you do?"
" I thought the contract said you shouldn't question anything I do…"
" Well, we haven't signed it. have we?" Blue retorted.
" Tsk… smart ass." Blue resisted the urge to laugh. he coughed to hide his smile and put on a blank expression.
Damon caught the change of expression and smirked. his little bird was so cute.
" So, tell me what happened to Mccall, where you involved in it?"
" I didn't kill Mccall, but I had a hand in it." Blue inhaled deeply.
Drake had either ordered his death or took part in one form or the other, but why didn't he feel repulsed that this man had told him indirectly that he was a killer.
Instead, he felt a feeling of satisfaction in the pit of his stomach at the idea that the man trusted him enough to be truthful to him.
" You wanted him gone and now, he's gone. I can get rid of all the obstacles in your path just like that."
" I don't want any innocent person to die." Blue refuted, in a high voice.
" Anything you want, I'll do it for you. just sign the contract love."
" But, why?" Blue's voice came out, croaked. he was feeling so confused and didn't know what to choose.
"As I told you before, I want your soul. sign the contract Blue and let me show you a world beyond your imagination."
It was as if another being possessed him and he reached out for the contract.
Drake smiled and watched in satisfaction as the boy took the pen and signed over his life to him.

" Mr. Alexander has assigned a manager to you and he will be by your side, 24/7 and make sure that you are ready to be in the spotlight…"
Blue's eyes widened in shock as the car drove through the estate and he had never seen something so magical and pretty.
The car came to a halt in front of a magnificent mansion and it was the biggest Blue had seen, more like the only one but this mansion looked different from the ones showed in movies or celeb mansions.
It had both an ancient and modern touch to it and looked like something that was brought out of a fairytale novel.
" Are you listening, Mr. Ivan?" Miranda asked, noticing that the younger man was not paying attention to anything she was saying instead he was gawking at his surroundings.
" Mr. Ivan, we can explore the estate later and give you a tour but please, pay attention to me and you have to meet with your manager now."
Miranda pointed out, Blue bobbed his head in understanding and followed the lady's lead outside.
In front of the mansion, a middle-aged man stood outside and he was in a black butler style suit and he had the whole cliche butler look and Blue prayed Drake wasn't as cliche like that.
" Good afternoon, lady Vince and welcome to Alexander mansion, Mr. Blue Ivan. My name is Diego Sebastian and I am the butler of the mansion"
Blue gawked at the man as soon as he finished his introduction, how cliche was this? he wondered.
" Uhh… nice to meet you, Sir, my name is Blue. Blue Ivan," he responded and stretched out his hand and Diego grabbed it for a handshake.
" Nice to meet you, Mr. Ivan." the man said with a smile.
" Just Blue." he corrected.
" Never mind this useless chit chat, let's get you settled in and take you to your new manager."
Miranda said, she pulled off her coat and gave it to Diego who took it swiftly as if it had been done a thousand time.
Blue stared wide-eyed at the action and wondered what kind of fucked up novel he had jumped into.
" Blue, meet Carl Sonic, he will be your manager and he will be your eyes and ears. he will help you to cultivate your acting knowledge and career and push you to be the best version of yourself. Carl meets Blue, he is the novice you will be working with and I hope you find him okay."
Carl Sonic was a beautiful man, as simple as that. he had waist-length blonde hair and amber, oval-shaped eyes. he was tall and lean, having the figure of a model.
Blue felt nervous as the man inspected him from head to toe, to see if what he was walking with was legit.
" He has the perfect face and build, Miranda. he is simply exquisite and I can work with him." Carl finally said, Blue let out the breath he was holding and he grinned.
" Nice to meet you, Carl." he greeted, and to his shock. Carl dived into him and hugged him happily.
" We're going to have so much fun together, my little bean." he gushed over the younger man making Blue blush.
Miranda shook her head. " Compose yourself, Carl."
" Oops, sorry…" Carl let go of the boy and grinned widely.
" I am satisfied, lady Vince but I have a question."
" What is it, Carl?"
" Does he have any experience as an actor?"
Miranda and Carl turned their attention to Blue, and he felt flustered under their gaze.
" Yes, I do. I finished four years of acting school and took part in lots of plays and roadside shows over the years."
" Hmm… then I look forward to seeing you act soon, my little bean." Carl gushed over the boy.
Miranda sighed, she was sure she was not going to get any piece with Carl and his hyper ass in this mansion.
" You have a photoshoot by ten tomorrow. Carl, don't forget to inform him, and am going to bed."
Miranda announced, then headed upstairs to her room.
Carl's eyes twinkled and he kissed Blue's cheek, making the boy blush red.
" Don't worry, young bean. I'll make you the biggest star this continent has ever seen."
