"Please take me home" I no longer felt like going to work I didn't want my patient to see me devastated and terrified. After a few minutes we reached my apartment as I was about to get out he locked the doors I shivered feeling him turn towards me by now my eyes were glossy. I slowly turned to look at him the smell of blood was painted on him the tears rolled down my cheeks his thick thumb wiped them away my body was shaking I was terrified of this man when his skin made contact with mine my body tingled with a foreign emotion, I looked up at his eyes letting him touch me afraid he would kill me if I moved. "Goodnight my Queen" I shivered at the title he had given me, I was scared to the bone and I was not about to argue with him while he had a taste for blood the look in his eyes told me he still wanted more when he entered the car earlier on. He tenderly kissed my forehead lingering as my heart exploded I waited patiently and shut my eyes praying for him to remove his lips from my skin so I could go home. He finally did and when he unlocked the car doors I jumped out and hurried to my apartment not looking back at the devil in the car. I finally reached my apartment panting and shut the door sliding down my door crying hysterically, I could still feel his cold lips on me. What did I just witness tonight. What did I get myself into. I was scared of the future because I knew surely he would be back to check on his Queen.

My Rich and Young American Boyfriend
Genre: LGBTQ+, Romance, Drama, Fashion, Identity "He changed my life... but was I ready to be seen?" Jay Laxamana, a forty-three-year-old Filipino seamstress, has endured years of marginalization and invisibility. Working in anonymity in Manila, he crafts garments while carrying the weight of familial and societal rejection. After hardship, Jay finally gathers the means to pursue his dream: visiting New York, the center of global fashion. In New York, Jay works as a temporary assistant at LUXE HAUTE, a respected fashion atelier. There, he meets Zachary St. Claire, a young billionaire and philanthropist drawn to Jay beyond work. Their bond is tested by divergent backgrounds-Jay's humility contrasts with Zachary's privileged, image-driven world. This tension leads Jay to return to the Philippines and abandon the notion of a fairy-tale romance. Years later, Jay returns as the founder and creative director of House of Jay. His revival aligns with the arrival of Richard Vales, a charismatic American heir with ambition and a complicated past. Jay faces challenges: public scrutiny, betrayal, and balancing authenticity with social expectations. The narrative explores themes of love, identity, visibility, and the nuanced realities of queer life in contemporary society. It interrogates the ostensible inclusivity of the fashion world and the personal costs associated with seeking both recognition and acceptance. From the studio that produced 'Field Trip' and similar psychologically complex works, this story offers a contemplative examination of transformation, resilience, and the enduring search for belonging.
