In just a week, my life had dramatically changed.

I had just a few weeks to find a place to live and a job that will pay me enough to survive.

Why? Because my father discovered that I am gay, and as of the end of the semester, he would no longer be paying my university fees and expenses to stay at the residential college.

One day a gentleman walked into the restaurant where I worked, and my life was no longer a disaster.

This is the continued story of the Lloyd Family Corporation.

Recommend that the first story - Aquaria, be read first.

I’m always looking to improve with new stories… Regards Q
