I'm Sheridan Wesley. I'm eleven years old. I've always lived with my dad. He's the only person I've got. He loves me and I love him too. But soon our lives changed. Mine especially.


It was a sunny day in Blueville, a rural small town not far away from Tennessee. The kind of place where everyone knew everyone. My dad was one of the most popular and well-liked people of Blueville. He owned vast land and a big ranch.

I always loved working with him. I loved the farm life. I knew how to ride horses, milk cows, make butter, plant seeds and harvest crops. I was well loved by all my dad's employees and well known too by the people of the town. I was the little boy who always gave a helping hand.

The Last Laugh

Without wasting time, I got up and left for his office.


I reached his door and gave a single knock. Without awaiting a reply, I stepped into his office.


"Good morning, Ac-" I cut my sentence short when he looked up at me. He was leaning against the wall, shirtless.


"Oh..." I mumbled. Damn! His body. I found myself staring at his perfectly drawn abs, his slim waist, his chocolate brown nipples and his chest. I was out of breath in an instant!


his soothing voice brought my stare back to his.


"G- good morning, Ace." I stammered and stepped in, closing the door behind me.


He smirked and motioned me over to take a seat. I gulped and did so.


"I'm sure you're wondering why I'm shirtless." he said amused, sitting down.


"Another employee accidentally poured a hot mug full of coffee on me."


"Thanks. And the worst part is, I tried washing it but the stain is stuck."
