Onlookers began to view Lowe with suspicion, some even whispering among themselves, speculating whether Lowe harbored feelings for Jarrod who, quick to clarify, categorically denied any interest in men.
Everyone knew of Jarrods preference for women. The idea of him being interested in men was preposterous.
Lowes increasingly dubious reputation only worsened as whispers and rumors began to spread among the people around him, suggesting that Jarrod had openly rejected Lowes advances.
These rumors, however, would only become widespread later on.
The day after these murmurings began, a brutal attack occurred at a rowdy party Lowe hosted.
Intruders overpowered Lowe, subjected him to a severe beating, and nearly castrated him.
Although they didnt complete the castration, the attack inflicted deep psychological wounds on Lowe, plaguing him with nightmares each night.

Back then, not wanting to see her plead for another man, he had her turn away, grabbed her hair from behind, and coldly smashed her face against the glass.
His gaze dimmed as he restrained himself, turning off the screen and then fastening his belt buckle. Nicole in the video wept, looking heartbreakingly pitiful, her tears all for another man.
The fleeting satisfaction left a shadow of melancholy on Jarrods handsome face, a stark contrast to his usual indifference, transforming him momentarily. He wondered where Nicole had hidden herself.
Meanwhile, Lowe, confined to his home and deprived of his usual escapades with women, felt a deep frustration brewing.
