I‘m glad Tom took Bill home to get a bit of rest, although I wish he would try to investigate more and be more suspicious of Bill‘s home situation. I mean, surely there must be something wrong if one never really wants to go home? He needs to find out soon before it is too late!
One thing Steffen said really made me wonder what he meant. “You don’t want to let your colleagues down, do you?” Also Bill said to Tom that he is protecting him. Now I really can’t wait what all of this is about. I am really scared what will happen next, too.
Also, you don’t need to apologise for updating „late“. You are so consistent with updating and I love you for that. Sometimes life comes in the way I guess.
Author's Response: Yes, although I thinks he also doesn’t want to step over any lines and press any further into Bill’s life, I think he feels like he’s already invaded Bill’s life and seen something he never should have, so I think he is just being wary and careful at the minute. rnHmmm, I wonder why Steffen said that? That’s a weird thing to say, don’t you think?

Awh, I'm glad Bill opened up a little, even if it's just a little.
Oh no, poor Bill (again) Steffen is such a asshole😔
Wow, that's a lot of money on Tom's paycheck.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Yes, slowly but surely he is trusting and opening up!

Every chapter, my heart breaks more for Bill. I hate that he has obviously endured so much crap in his life. I hate that he even thinks about Tom‘s motives inviting him to his home. I hate that he doesn’t know who Lola‘s father is, as I am assuming that Steffen brought his ‚friends‘ over before. Life has obviously not been kind to the sweet soul that is Bill. I’ve said it before but I really hope Bill can find trust again with Tom, and that Tom will be able to help him.
Thank you for this story and for all your stories. I‘ve suddenly lost my beloved sister-in-law two days ago and in between all the emotions and crying I’ve re-read some of your other stories and it got me to calm down a bit. So really, thank you so so much!!
Author's Response: I know what you mean, it breaks my heart every time I write it but I still absolutely love it. I just love drama and if I’m honest with you, I’m so happy I’m doing my own story so I can finally do the drama I’ve always wished to write! Absolutely, Bill definitely looks for motives in everyone, he is a very damaged person with a very long road ahead of him.rnI’m so so so sorry to hear about your sister in law, and I’m sending you all the love in the world. It makes my heart so happy that my little stories have brought you comfort in such a sad time for you. I wish you all the best.

Awh, slowly we learn a little more.
Awh, how Bill asked that question at the end😔
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Yes, all will be revealed slowly!

Seriously, Tom needs to put two and two together, like right now. If he gets Bill home again (and I have a feeling Bill would let him, because he wouldn’t tell him what’s going on), Steffen might even kill him. My heart broke when I read that flashback, I mean how can someone do that to another? Bill must have lost trust in all human beings while being with Steffen, and I really hope Tom can be the change Bill needs, giving him hope, warmth and love. And I hope that Bill will trust him enough to tell him what‘s going on. He needs to in order to survive.
I’m currently thinking of how I can distract myself until Monday morning because I don’t think I can wait any longer haha. You need to stop with those cliffhangers, seriously! Doesn’t make me love the story less though, it is just your fault I can’t get enough of it haha.
Sorry to hear you were so sick but I’m glad you’re OK and feeling better now! I was really concerned.
Author's Response: He really does, but I just think at the minute he thinks there must be an explanation for anything, and because he doesn’t really know Bill all to well yet, he doesn’t understand everything fully or why Bill the way he is. He’s just accepted it over the years! rnI’m afraid I can’t stop with cliffhangers, I love them too much haha!

Oh Bill :( I'm glad Tom is trying to take care of him. And that explains a lot why Bill always leaves the office in time to not miss his bus.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Thank you for the lovely review, hopefully things will start to make sense for everyone now

Gosh, Bill… I hate that he thinks that he hasn’t got anyone to confide in. I bet Tom would love to continue being that person for him. He needs to find out, and he needs to find out fast in order to help Bill.
So Steffen has always been an asshole obviously (not that I thought he wasn’t).
I can’t wait for more, although I am kind of dreading that next chapter. I remember you saying you thought of me when writing chapter 19 and I am probably gonna shout at you so I expect a major cliffhanger which I am not particularly keen on haha.
Also, hope you are OK. You haven’t replied in a while which is totally fine, you don’t have to at all. I will continue telling you how much I love this story either way. Just hope you are OK :)
Author's Response: Yeah, I think a lot of things have happened over the years and in Bill’s life that have made him withdrawn into himself and made it hard for him to trust anyone, it’s definitely going to take time and patience for him to be able to trust again I think. rnOh yes, you will definitely shout at men haha!rnAnd I’m okay thank you! I really appreciate you checking in - I’ve been super sick so I haven’t been online much, but I’m better now so hoping to catch up with writing agai! thank you for continuing to love my little baby, it still honestly means the world to me.

Oh Bill… If only he could open up to Tom and let him help him get rid of that asshole Steffen. But he is so withdrawn into himself and he must be so scared of Steffen, it breaks my heart. I wonder where he is going, I really hope he doesn’t get himself into trouble. He probably will though, and I hope that at least Tom will find out what is happening soon enough and save Bill from Steffen but also from himself. I somehow sense cliffhangers coming up again which I don’t like but they also make me excited haha. Love it so so much!
Author's Response: I think he is scared about opening up to be honest! It’s not an easy take to get rid of Steffen… maybe Bill will be even worse off when he’s gone.. who knows! Tom will definitely discover things eventually but who knows how much Bill will let him find out.
Date: 04/18/24 02:52 am Title: Seventeen.
Awh, I guess Tom will connect all the dots when he finds out about Bill's situation.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: Who knows! We shall see!

Tom‘s opinion about Bill has obviously changed so much in this last week and he has become so protective. It almost seems he kind of misses being with Bill despite the reason being with with him was so heartbreaking.
And oh gosh, my heart is breaking for Bill. What a massive asshole Steffen is! I am so scared for Bill, I hope he can get away before Steffens friends turn up and do what I fear they will do. I still don’t understand why Bill would let Steffen do all this to him. I really hope Tom can save him before it’s too late.
I’m sure you know this by now but I really can’t express how much I love this story. I guess I just don‘t know enough English words to do so haha. So I’m just saying it again: I love it!!
Author's Response: Yes, absolutely! His view has definitely changed and I think that’s because he’s seen Bill outside of the office and understands him more on a personal level now, it’s definitely opened up his eyes a little I think and he now sees Bill more as a person, than his boss! Yes, Steffen definitely is an asshole and so are his friends! You will understand why Bill is allowing this eventually, I promise! It will all make sense, I’ve been planting little things along the way which will all make sense in the end.
Date: 04/15/24 02:28 am Title: Sixteen.
Awh, Tom is still protective of Bill, even without Bill being there.
Oh poor Bill. His body will barely be able to survive this, especially when those friends of Steffen are going to do with Bill what I think They're going to do.
Great chapter😊
Author's Response: He is, isn’t he? Such a sweetheart! I know, he’s not having a great time at the minute and who knows if he will survive it or not!
