*****************************
There is nothing harsher than to hear the truth that he fail to be a good husband to him and that he broke all his promises just for his pride. He wasn't able to say anything to depend himself cause deep inside he knows that Theo only said the truth and that truth made him lost all those strength he has. Looked at his hand and saw the ring on his finger then he pulled out a necklace from his shirt then looked at the other ring. "I fuck up but I want to fix the mess that I made so you can comeback to the hands of your real owner. Teakyun smile and looked at the Direction where the Omega went. He run after him and pulled him lightly so he could face him. "Theo I know I broke my promises to you and your trust but I do everything to get your trust back. I want you back not just you but your heart as well I want them all." Teakyun can't see any emotions in his eyes just like when they were in the Ferris wheel.
"I gave you my heart you broke it. I took it back and fixed it now you want to asked me the same thing which you tossed aside back then?" Theo hold Teakyun's hand. "Tea what I want for us is to be at least civil to each other or maybe in time friends but we can no longer go back to how it was before."
"I know it will be hard but you gave me time our deal is still not off." Teakyun gave him a quick kiss on the forehead before the Alpha run pass him. Theo turned around to see where the Alpha was headed to and saw him running towards Nick and others.
"What happened to these two?" Teakyun asked.
"That moron's friend is dead and this moron is 50/50 barely hanging on to his life." Derek who Zai referred to as the friend of the Moron is currently riding the back of Drake who took pity to the man who's pale and unconscious. Zeejay who is referred as Moron by Zai can't barely even stand on its own. It's like Zeejay is in its drunken state that he no longer has the idea of what was happening to his surroundings anymore. "I think we should go home now." Teakyun suggested.
"What about these two?" Nicolas asked, he's having a hard time helping Zeejay to stand up straight.
"Give Zee to me I'll carry him, he's too big and heavy for you." Nicolas took Zeejay's right hand around his shoulder that serve as a support and gave the almost lifeless body to Teakyun.
"Is that all you got! That's not even scary!" Zeejay shout.
"I think that man already lost some screws when he went to all those rides." Zai said.
Teakyun laugh. 'You read hate him don't you?"
"I'm not the one who says that it was you." Zai said.
Teakyun enter the unit, he just came home from taking home the two Alphas. He tiredly let himself fall on the couch. "You look tired." Teakyun saw Zai who's holding a glass of milk.
"Why aren't you in bed it's late now?" Teakyun asked.
"I can't sleep that's why I got my self a glass of warm milk to help me sleep." Teakyun smile and patted the couch inviting the kid to sit. Zai walk close but seated across Teakyun's.
"I noticed Theo is very fond of you, can you tell me things that he likes? Cause he no longer like those things that he used to like before." Teakyun said sadly.
"He's fond of me cause he doesn't have any child of his own that's why he treats me as his own child. I think he would have been a great mother if given a chance." Zai said in all honesty.
"I'm really am stupid. I'm the one who doesn't want a child cause I thought it will only going to get in the way of my career. I'm the heir of my Dad's company so I thought what's the point in bringing a child if I couldn't even give him time. My parents were busy person. So growing up it was always just me and Lee with the maids. It was lonely to be honest. When I was working I thought I finally understand my parents that children are just hindrance to achieve your goals cause they needed time and attention."
"Adults are so complicated. You make simple things complicated and then whine at the results."
"I want him back." Teakyun whispered.
"Then when the other person has decided to leave that's when. you all take some action to get them back. I mean if you really love him shouldn't you held on to him? Shouldn't you have done the things that will make the other person leave?"
"You observe and analyze things pretty well." Zai just shrug his shoulders.
"Hhhhmmm where to start.... You see when you become an adult you start to think things through to the point that the supposed simple things becomes complicated. You tend to give importance to things that are tangible cause you thought that tangibility can give you more assurance and results than things that can't be touched by our own hands." Teakyun raised his hands in the air while he looks at them.
"Money is one fine sample of it. A result that can be touched and count. It gives you power and buys you respect. I worked myself hard so I could have money that will give me power and respect and the moment I became powerful that's the time where my ego became so big that it can no longer afford to handle any things or anyone who will taint it. I never realized what I had till he was gone."Teakyun looked at Zai.
"I don't know the case about your father but that's my reason."
"You know who my father is?" Zai asked.
"Yeah but don't worry I won't tell."
"You're pretty much observant yourself." Zai complements.
"To be honest I don't really care about him what I do care about is my mother. When I was young I often see him with that moron's photos from magazines, news papers and even on his phone. He just cries as he looked at them. I still couldn't understand it but I already had a hunch and 3 years ago when that sorry excuse for a father got married. There he was again crying so I asked him and he told me the truth. We have been living just fine till he came in the picture telling my mother that he wants him. What a joke. He doesn't have the guts, he's a pussy. How can he even say it in my Mother's face when he knows that he's Married? I won't grow up to be a pussy just like him." Zai said. He sighed and look at Teakyun.
"In my own opinion why can't you just let Uncle Theo go he has been happy just living by himself. If he really loves you then he will come back to you."
"It's not that simple. Not all who walks out of our life comes back. Theo bravely walked away from me and for five years he never came back. I don't think if I let him walk away this time that he will ever going to came back to me cause base from what I can see in his eyes I know he no longer loves me. I'm just hanging in a single thread of hope that he could possibly love me again or that maybe he still loves me he just hide it in the deepest part of his heart."
"Adults really are complicated. If I found someone to love I will make sure not to do what you and that moron did so I won't look stupid and uncool like you two."Zai got up. I'm done, I need to get some sleep. Don't tell that stupid moron that my Y chromosome came from him."
"What?" Teakyun asked he doesn't get the part of the Y chromosome.
"Yeah I forgot. Don't tell him that the sperm where I came is from him."
"You really do hate your father." Teakyun commented.
"He is not my father he is just a sperm donor." Zai got up and leave the living room. Zai was surprised to see his uncle just outside the living room, he signal him to be quiet. Zai nodded and went upstairs first while Theo just stand there leaning his back against the wall of the living room. He really can't understand adults.
******************************
Lee has bee avoiding him since he came home. He didn't greet him, kissed him and most of all the Alpha didn't cling to him that never happens unless the other is really angry. The thing about Lee that Dexter love the most. Alphas nature when they angry is to use force that always resorts to violence but Lee is different maybe only to him but Lee never once held his hand to hurt him.
Dexter hug the sleeping Lee from the back. "Lee honey are you angry?" No reply, that confirms it.
"My I know why is my Lee angry?" Nothing no response. So Dexter tried again.
"Hubby, my hubby.... Dexy is getting sad and me being sad is not good for our little Lee." Dexter tried to sound cute and pitiful. Lee turn to his back and Dexter immidiately squeeze in between his arms and hug Lee as he lay his head on Lee's chest close to where his heart is.
"Why are you angry?" Dexter asked.
"Charles said that you almost got into a fight. I thought you are being careful cause of little Lee but why does it seems that you are not thinking about yourself and our baby."
"I thought about our baby that's why I didn't fight him. I let Charles deal with him." Dexter explained.
"But it's still not enough reason to get yourself into trouble."
"I know and I'm sorry. Maica was being bullied by women. I don't know who they are it seems that they are her husband's friends I don't know." Kissed the top of his head.
"Did you get hurt?" He asked. No he just grip at my arms tightly but it didn't hurt." Lee looked at his arm and saw little patches of bruises.
"It's just a little nothing to get nervous about."
"Don't get involved yourself to any troubles. Bring Charles and Harvey with you when you go out. I think you should bring more person....."
"Harvey and Charles are both enough. I won't get myself in trouble."
Dexter woke up in the morning with the sight of Lee all dress up. "Why didn't you wake me up?" Dexter asked. "Are you going to the office?" Dexter asked.
Lee walk towards the bed and planted a soft peck kiss on his lips. "Good morning. You were sleeping so soundly I don't have the heart to wake you up. I'll be going to the office but I'll go home quickly after I'm done." Lee got off the bed. "Already prepared your breakfast."
Lee was busy reading all the documents for their business expansion. It was supposed to be his brother's job and since his parents won't be home till next week then he has no choice but to work on the job that his brother left. The voice of his secretary from the intercom disturb him from he was doing.
(Someone wants to meet you, He said he wanted to apologise for what his son did.) Lee smiled he never thought that it will be this soon. "Let him in." As soon as the door opened the man who came in with his son suddenly run to him and kneel in front of him after just by seeing him, he also forced his son to kneel in front of the Alpha. Lee looked at the son of the man, the swollen face of the man made Lee feel the satisfaction.
"I'm sorry Sir for what this stupid son of mine did to offend you this much. Please, please, please....." Lee got up and walk in front of his desk he sit a little to it looking at the two.
"Whatever it was that my son did please forgive me. I'm apologizing in behalf of my son." The man cried bending forward facing down the ground.
"You what are you going to say? Aren't you going to beg like your old man?" Lee asked. After saying it the man hit the head of his son and forced him to beg.
"I'm sorry please spare my two businesses. We already lost 3 and the 4th one is in the edge of declaring bankruptcy within 24 Hours."
"Dad what do you mean by that?" The man asked his Father.
"Mr. Scott you see I'm a very reasonable man. I don't like getting angry that's why I always do crazy things that can make the people around me smile and happy too.I rarely get serious. But I'm serious to my possession and I'm a very territorial kind of person. I don't want other touching and damaging what's mine. The son of yours almost hurt my soon to be wife."
"I didn't hurt anyone."
"Think hard, who commanded that man to make a mess out of your face?" Lee asked.
"That Alpha? But He's an Alpha!"
"Bingo! That Alpha is going to be my wife soon. I was really angry when I learned that someone tried to hurt him. Lucky for you it was me who learned about this first. If my parents happen to know what your son did they won't spare you. I'm kind enough to take things slowly by morning. I told them not to pressure the other two remaining business that you have." The man after hearing Lee walk using his knees and hug Lee's feet. I'm sorry please the lose that we have are already too much now don't take the remaining two. I will discipline my own son and I promise that he won't go near your fiance again."
"Let go of my foot you are soiling it." The man immidiately let go of his foot. "You" Lee called to the son of the man who seems lost to his own thinking. "You want me to spare your Dad's Company right?" The man nodded. "Kiss my shoe and swear you won't get near to my fiance' again nor to his friend Maica." The boy kissed his shoe and swear to never be near Dexter again and his friend. "That's enough. If I ever found out that you cross path with any of those two again I will make sure that you will get more than this. Now leave!" Lee called the secretary and asked him to bring him his other pair of shoes and gave him the shoes he's wearing. He told him to throw the shoes away cause it was already dirty.
Lee took out his phone and called someone. "Jules can you find me details about Maica's husband? I want all details, family background, business everything you can dig off."
(The thing that you are asking will cost a big amount.)
"Give me the bank details I'll wire you the payment." Lee said without batting an eye.
(Ok, expect those information sent to your email before evening. The person must have pissed you that badly to even reached out to me for information.)
"I'm just taking precautions I want to know if the man is an ally or an enemy. Besides that money will be going for a good cost so it's ok. I need to hang up now thank you for your help."
(Don't mention it. You paid me for that so it's ok.)
Lee drop the call and went back to what he was doing. It hasn't been that long since he seated on his chair when his secretary phoned him again. The secretary hasn't finished with what he was saying when the door to his office opened and brought the angry Zeejay in.
"Zee!" Lee welcome.
"Don't Zee me you fucker! I asked you for love advice and you told me to bring him there! I looked so pathetic because of your pathetic suggestion!
"Why didn't my plan worked?" Lee asked innocently.
"Fuck you Lee!" Zeejay grab Lee by his collar.
"You are very much welcome. Happy to serve."
"Fuck you moron I'm not saying thank you you fucker. You told me it will be a place I can do all my moves to make him fall for me! How can I make any moves if all I did was to puke my guts! Ha?! You tell me? Nothing is so amusing with that fucking Amusement park. It's a dungeon of hell! Fuck I still feel dizzy because of riding to much of those hellish rides. Derek is still bed ridden till now his mother even brought his to the hospital because of what happened. The man can't barely stand."
Lee put his arm around Zeejay's shoulder "Zee my boy you see it's part of the plan. You don't plant a seed and expect a tree the next morning do you?" Zeejay pause for a moment and rethink. "You don't look pathetic you actually look pitiful to his eyes. So the next time he will see you he will be worried of you." Zeejay nodded.
"That make sense." Zeejay said agreeing to his friend.
"I told you just trust the love expert. Amongst us friends I'm the only one who has a successful love life." Zeejay nodded even more convinced.
"So what's the next move?" Zeejay asked.
"Don't call nor visit him." Zeejay back away from Lee.
"Dude we don't have much time left, they will leave soon" Lee put his arm around his shoulder once again and pulled him close so he could say it clearly.
"Absence make the heart great fonder. Don't be easy to get, play it hard." Zeejay eyed him suspiciously. "I don't think you played hard to get to Dexter."
"Of course I did! What do you take me for?!" Lee said in defense.
"Just believe me the love expert. How else do you think I manage to make my Dexy fall for me if I wasn't any expert at this?"
"Yeah it still puzzled us till now. Even if Dexter is an Alpha he's still a great catch we all wonder how you manage to trick him and now he's even marrying you fuck." Lee nodded
"And we are also having a baby...." Zeejay pushed Lee "What?! You two are having a baby?"
"Oopppss" Lee said. It was supposed to be a secret to be revealed on their wedding day but because he was too busy boasting his love life his tongue slip.
"Zee my man don't tell anyone. It was supposed to be a secret."
"So Dexter really is pregnant. I can't believe it his body develop. It's rare for Alpha's to develop a reproductive system that can carry life but his body adopt. This is a big news. The gang should knommmmmmhhhmmmmm..." Lee covered Zeejay's loud mouth.
"Don't tell them, don't tell them it's a secret Dexy and I are planning to tell it on our wedding day." Zeejay tried to bite the hand of the Alpha cause he can no longer breath but failed to do so. When Lee noticed that Zeejayy grip is getting weaker he instantly let go.
Zeejay gasp for air as soon Lee let him go. "You fucker are you trying to kill me?"
"No of course not. I just got carried away."
"I won't tell others but help me with Nick." Lee sit on his chair.
"Are you really serious about him?"
"Dead serious." Zeejay answered.
"Zee Nick may look tough and strong but he's actually fragile inside. If you don't handle him carefully this time then you might really break him this time. We are thankful for that incident cause it actually saves him and till now it's the only thing that keeping his broken pieces whole. If you don't have plans to stand up like a real man then stop this instantly. He no longer needs you. Just let him be with the man who can take responsibility the things you can't give him."
"Who that Beta? Derek already set his eyes to that Beta. Me and Derek has the same situation so why am I the only one who gets the scolding?" Zeejay asked.
"If you look in to Derek's eyes you know he's the kind of man who's willing to give up everything just to have the person that he wants. Even his family but you, you are the opposite of him. You can't face your problem cause you are afraid that you will lose the things that you have now..."
"You know nothing Lee. You are lucky that your parents accepted Dexter to your family that they didn't force you to be wedded to the person you don't love."
"If I were to put in your shoes I won't bat an eye to choosing wether him or the wealth that J have. I would still choose Dexter. He is the best thing that has ever happened to my life and I won't let go of him for things that I can work hard for and earn again."
"You need to grow a back bone and stand up for yourself. Cause if you let go of the things that's chaining you down there are beautiful things awaits for you. The only thing that's keeping you is yourself and no one else. So think about it really hard Zee. Do you want to spend the rest of your life being a puppet of your parents? Or do you want to make name for yourself? It's your choice."
"Lee I think I need to go." Zeejay didn't wait for Lee's response and just went out of Lee's office.
**************************
It was already lunch time second day of the week and they still haven't found the right person to fit in the job. Aiden is having a hard time getting applicants who wants to work for them an unknown Company, unless..... An idea pops into his mind that he went to Lance's office. He knock 3 times before entering. Aiden sometimes wonder why the doors in their offices are made from woods when it should be already made out of glass. He went inside and saw the man carrying his son in his arms. For two days straight Lance has been taking Lander with him. He doesn't know why and he's not interested to know either.
"I have something to discuss with you." Aiden said in one breath.
"I'm sorry that will have to wait me and my son will eat outside."
"Ow I see I'm sorry." Aiden apologize
"Uncle come eat with us." Lander look at his Dad. "Can we invite uncle with us?"
"Yes of course baby." Lance kiss Lander on his cheek.
"You should eat with us."
"No I'm good, there are things I still need to finish...."
"I insist. Lander will be sad if you refuse." Aiden looked at Lander's hopeful eyes and can't help but give in.
"Ok."
"Yehey!" Lander cheer.
The three went out together and went to the nearest five start restaurant in the area It was an awkward moment for the two to be together in one table. "So any luck in finding new employees?" Aiden asked.
"If we base it from your qualifications and criteria nope no one pass but if we will base it from mine then yes a lot will pass." Lance explained.
"But you already tried that and that get this company nowhere so we need to do it this time my way." Aiden insisted.
"But no one fits your qualifications." Lance said.
"Of course you won't find diamonds on the surface you need to dig deeper and work harder to find them same with people if you want cheap ones then they are everywhere scattered around but if you want special people then you need to look harder."
"Are you two fighting?" Lander asked.
"NO!" Both said at the same time.
"It's work related son." Lance explain.
"It's just work sweety." Aiden looked at Lance.
"Any ways I have a proposal to that. We will use our companies connections, influence and name to boost this company up. I want everyone to know that the person's running this firm are the CEO of the Montero Empire, President of the Shun Entertainment and President of the Miller's Construction and Development Corp. We will use these big companies influence to boost this law firm." Aiden suggest.
"That's actually a good idea. I guess we will just have to talk the details later at the office. The food is here." Lance informed. The waiter put their orders on the table. Aiden looked at him and at that moment he knew that the boy is an Omega. The boy took the leave after serving them the food. It hasn't been long since they start eating when they heard a gun shot. The guard that was outside the entrance was shot by the the armed men who went inside. There were four men in total who went in. The women inside start screaming but the men in front pulled the trigger and shot one of the women who screamed.
"Anyone who will make some noise will be shot down! I want all of you in one place. Your face on the floor! Now!" Aiden looked at Lander and saw the kid who looks like was about to cry. Aiden took the child and carry him. "Sssshhhhhh Don't cry Lander. My Lander is a good and brave big boy so don't cry ok?" The child snip trying to hold back his tears then he nods.
"You have a talent in this." Lance whispered.
"It's not the time to compliment me with this." Aiden whispered back. "For now we need to follow them."
To be Continued......
***************************
Sneak Peek of Chapter 21
"Man why do you keep on Complaining? All you do is to complain!" Zeejay said obviously the liquor already took its effect on him.
"Yeah don't you like it? With Nash you have an instant Nanny! Instant Secretary that can do your job, instant cook. Man he basically can do anything for you! So what are you complaining about?!" Lee asked, clearly Lee is also a little bit drunk too.
"His face dude! His face! His body fuck! I would have felt so happy if he is somehow cute and sexy like Liam..... Ouch Lance why did you throw me your phone? Fuck my head."
"Don't lust after my wife you fucker!" Lance who is now also drunk said. All their attention shifted to Derek when they noticed Derek took one shot after another then another one. They look at each other as if they are communicating using their mind and as if on cue they all dive to stopped Derek from literally gulping the alcohol down to his throat.
Lance took the bottle of Rum and Lee took the glass and Adrian hold Derek who is trying to break free from the grab.
"What are you guys doing?" Zeejay who just came back from the restroom asked.
(They will going to have a drinking session next chapter 😁)
