Chapter: 25.*******"Now, your search is over, is it not, my brother." The first smiled towards his second and he nodded. "Indeed,""You know, when you told me you found him, I was speechless, you never could shut up about this Alexander and you barely know the guy." Micheal broke into his line of thought. Call it fate. Call it a coincidence but what he had been searching for years found him when he least expected.On a day like every other, his brother had walked into his arms announcing he hooked up with his new PA. Matthew was not surprised, his brother is a well-known renowned Playboy who never takes any emotions to heart. To him, there is no such thing as falling in love and building a relationship.Too much drama... he would say.But realizing that a shadow from the past had crawled right out and into his twin brother's bed, Matthew could not resist."Admittedly, I only wanted to get a rise out of him at first, but the more expressions I uncover, the more greedy I get. It exc
Chapter: 26.*********"Are you ready?" Easton asked, peeking into the room to find Alexander pushing his left foot into his shoe."So?" He asked, standing while adjusting his belt. "Do I look presentable?" He inquired."Wow, don't think I have seen you in corporate wear before," Easton replied, it was clear he liked what he was seeing. "You look more than presentable." Alexander smiled, brushing his hands on his shirt. "Thanks, man."Looking around as if he was searching for something, Easton moved closer until he was standing face to face with the other. He stood in front of him and just admired him for a while then gently raised both hands to Alexander's tie and began strengthening it. "You still didn't learn how to knot a tie, did you?" He was amused."The last time I was in a tie was on my wedding day-""Shhh!" Easton whispered, one finger pressed into Alexander's lips cutting his words off. "No bad memories today, big boy, it will jinx the day." He reprimanded and Alexander jus
Chapter: 27.********He waited until a knock came and Sally appeared at the door."Shall we?" She asked and Alexander stood up and made his way to the door. "Thank you, Mrs. Luciana." He appreciated, he had noticed the wedding band on her ring finger when they exchanged handshakes. She smiled towards him and he nodded before leaving the office. "She seems nice." He breathed out once outside the door."She's not, don't get swindled by her gentle voice. She gives us all a hard time around here, and get this if the Team Leader hadn't referred as well as signed a form in your place, you probably wouldn't have gotten the job," Sally informed."Wow, I could have sworn, she is peaceful.""Give it three days." She assured and he sighed. "Well, at least, I finally got a job, I hope you give her good reports about me when the two weeks elapse.""Of course, you seem like a nice person and any friend of Mr. Easton is a friend of mine." She smiled grandly at him and he nodded with a slight chuc
Chapter: 28********Michael or was it Matthew pulled away and stared deeply into his eyes. "Is it possible to be any more smitten with you?" He whispered and Alexander felt his face heating up painfully. "And I do love it when you blush." He looked into his eyes, and Alexander was captivated, they seemed to stare into his soul and see everything laid bare. Alexander licked his lips unconsciously, ever so slightly pursing them creating just a tiny gap. Matthew tilted his head slightly and leaned in, and Alexander melted again.Whatever resistance he might have had to this new sensation melted away instantly, and he was taken by the kiss. It was completely different to Maria's and her lips were all he's ever known, well, until now. There was no softness, no pliability. His lips conveyed strength, power, passion, and security, and they moved with a deliberateness that Alexander had never felt before. Matthew's tongue lightly pressed at the opening to his mouth and he surrendered access
Chapter: 29.******"Yes, please, come in!" Easton exhaled when he heard that voice summoning him into the private office. Today has been quite an eventful one. First, Falcon had visited, and then his project White Prince was taken in for consideration by Falcon which resulted in him sharing a handshake with the billionaire for the first time. Falcon had actually liked his project and not just him. He never thought it would get noticed more so piqued many interests.His ears never heard sweeter words like the ones Falcon filled them with of promises and benefits which are to come with WP and not only for the industry but with his career as well. It was the happiest and most important day of his life and it was nearly close to being a perfect day. Then he had returned to his office and Sally had not only told him Alexander had gotten the job but had also been placed under two-week probation, it didn't bother him, knowing that Alexander would excel by the end of his two weeks. He was h
Chapter: 30.******"Thank you, Falcon-""Matthew!"Shocked out of their sockets his eyes bulged and his mouth uttered without hesitation. "Excuse me?!" Palming his mouth after that, he eyed the man apologetically even though he could only look at the back of his head, he still felt the need to apologize as if he were staring into those wicked sharp domineering eyes."Matthew, is the name and tell me, Mr. Easton, what inspired White Prince?!" Easton became visibly shaken when the man rose from his chair. Damn, the aura that man was packing was starting to sand his force into submission and he hadn't even faced him yet he was still facing the walls and Easton's breath began to quicken again when he turned, and finally, their eyes met.Unconsciously he stepped back a few steps, eyes blinked multiple times, what was this aura he emits? It was driving him crazy, all his senses went into an overdrive, rational thoughts eluded him and his eyes did nothing but stare while his mouth gawked wi
Chapter: 31.******Daring, he looked directly into Falcon's face and with a smile. "You took the punch." He charged and chuckled when he saw Matthew point to the side he had received the blow, feigning a hurt expression with a soft hiss like he just got hit again."He packed a good blow," Falcon confirmed and they both laughed softly. "Wonder what else he could do with those strong fists?" He raised a brow at Easton who visibly winced and then burst out laughing again catching his drift.Once he had calmed himself he took on a more serious expression and asked. "How is Allison?" "I haven't seen her in quite a few months but I should be visiting her soon, now that Alexander knows who I am.""You told him?""I...did more than that," gently rubbing at his lips with two fingers he nearly laughed out loud when he saw Easton's brows go up so fast as the realization settled in."You kissed him?!" "I'm sorry, I could not hold back anymore, he drives me completely mad." "No, don't apologiz
Chapter: 32.******"Wonder what facial expressions she would make when she finds out her husband has a twin and not only that but the twin is yearning for her ex!" "I will be sure to take a photo for you." This had Easton laughing."Gee, thanks!" He cried."You are welcome, Easton." Easton nodded with a soft smile. "How is he faring?" Matthew asked."Better as long as nothing happens to spoil his cheerfulness." He told him."What spoiled it last time?" "Allison told him Maria was pregnant.""Oh, no," "I know,""I can imagine just how badly that would have hurt him.""Told you he was nearly dead.""Don't tell me how, I can't bear it."Easton smiled nodding. "I will do my best to make sure he takes the job even if I have to blackmail him into doing it," Easton assured with a chuckle."Blackmail?" "Ah, don't worry, he may be your Alexander but he is also my Xander, I know him well." Seeing the uncertainty laced across Falcon's face, Easton knew he had to do better, the man was worri
Walking side by side, both men stride down the stairs ever so gracefully, beaming smiles on their bright faces, with eyes twinkling with delight as their faces met those of men and women employees standing in wait and bowing slightly for a small nod from them before turning back to their workstations and working diligently, all except one who seemed to be more than a little preoccupied. She didn't seem to notice them until Easton tapped her softly on the shoulder and the little girl turned and immediately began to run into her father's waiting embrace. Alexander went on his knees and hugged his growing beautiful little lady, picking her up and twirling her around, both father and daughter's laughter rang throughout the house like the sweetest melody. His smile was genuine as he set his daughter back onto her feet and looked up to acknowledge Easton who was standing beside Michael and wearing a contagious smile on his handsome face. Alexander approached him and both friends clasped han
Chapter: 151.******The sweet sound of Alexander's groan of pleasure filled the air, his eyes closed and he clutched desperately at the bedsheets as if he would fall if he didn't hold onto the sheets as tightly as he did. He panted heavily as he tried to catch his breath, his eyes fluttering open and closing rapidly as a rush of adrenaline flowed through his veins, leaving him a painting mess. When he finally opened his eyes to face the scene before him, he was met by that mesmerizing blue gaze staring back at him, drenched with intense lust and arousal. Matthew could see how flushed and a mess Alexander looked, how he was sweating buckets, he also noticed how dark the color of his eyes seems to be. Like a storm ready to break loose at any given second, the way they sparkled and glistened with satisfaction, with lust, with desire. Oh, Lord. His whole body was trembling in the aftermath of that amazing orgasm, his breath heavy and unsteady, the sounds of the waves echoing in his ears,
Chapter: 150.******Matthew slowly pushed the bedroom door open and very carefully stepped into the room. He glanced toward the bed a few distances away then turned to the other side of the room and slowly began to walk to the sitting area where he proceeded to place the tray of food on a table. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure the occupant in the bed is still asleep before beginning to set up the dishes for breakfast. He placed them in the center of the small dining area along with two bowls of cereal. As he reached up to grab two forks he paused, when he heard that soothing voice."You can't possibly be after that kind of food when the perfect meal is lying in wait for you," Matthew hissed with a smile then gently returned the forks and turned around to face the bed where his lover now sat exposed, a lust-filled gaze burned deeply into his, and Alexander's naked body lay perfectly entranced as if it were waiting for Matthew to join him again, and he did just that. Inching
Chapter: 149.*****"I can't believe you're getting married," Lafayette said into the mirror where Alexander's face stared back. He was helping him get ready, while Easton stood in front of him adjusting his tie as always. A smile made its way across Alexander's lips but he didn't say a word. He still feels a bit hungover from last night. They had all dragged him around the city, dressed in a red bridal gown and massive makeup. He dragged the gown everywhere and it weighed a ton, his arms still hurt, then they made him tease dance in the clubs, did shots after shots, dared him to give Easton a lapdance then they made him eat some really weird food, going up against it wasn't an option and so he endured through their wicked idea of a bachelor party. They ended up leaving at dawn with no one sober, he barely got two hours of sleep and today is his wedding day and not to mention he hasn't seen Matthew in exactly twenty-two hours, thirty-four minutes, and six seconds, he was going crazy i
Chapter: 148.*****The two elderly couples stood side by side, watering cans in their hands as they carefully watered their prized flower plants when they spotted the flurry of automobiles pulling into their little home. Slowly they both turned and stared ahead as the first car drove in and parked, a man in a black suit exited the car and made a turn to the other side to open the doors. When they saw their son step out of the vehicle they couldn't be happier, dropping the cans they both hurried over to welcome him. Once Alexander came down, a smile so bright made his face even more handsome and he was running into their embrace just immediately. They hugged for a good while and when they pulled apart, Alexander bowed and greeted his father and mother then turned around to introduce the newcomers. Both parents smiled when they noticed the little angel that looked exactly like their son and they knew without a doubt that they were staring into the eyes of their granddaughter. Maria had
Chapter: 147.******As if knowing where Matthew would be, his legs carried him and he walked, taking fast pace, leaving the others behind. And when he got there, the little tree stood there and by the side was Matthew giving a hug to a stranger. A frown blew over his face and he groaned at what he was seeing. Knowing, neither twin appreciates close contact with anyone only made his anger more profound."I swear to god, Matthew, if you do not stop hugging him, I am personally going to cut your balls off and make an omelet out of them then feast on it beside your bleeding corpse!" He announced angrily, his voice rattling the leaves on the trees. The stranger gasped and pulled away from Matthew and bolted the other way. Alexander walked closer and stood in front of Matthew. The same spot he stood on when he crushed his foot with textbooks years ago but Alexander was too angry to acknowledge the significance of where they stood at that very moment. "Really?!" Alexander snapped, his voi
Chapter: 146.*****He didn't want to believe Matthew had left, without congratulating him, without a kiss, he didn't even wait for the ceremony to be over. Was it work? Was there an emergency? He left without any of his men. How is that even possible? Maybe he was still in the toilets. Maybe he's locked himself in. His mind went over a million and one scenarios as he ran, sprinted even, the sounds of his heels echoing in the empty halls, eyes scanning every corner and by the time he reached the men's rooms he had started walking faster than a normal human being can walk, his steps were heavy and fast. As soon as he reached the men's room he slammed the door open, startling the poor guy inside, who looked shocked at Alexander's sudden entrance but Alexander didn't seem bothered by his hateful questioning glares rather he pushed past him, running straight for the stalls and yelling for him."Baby, you in here?" He would ask with each stall he invaded. His lungs burned from lack of oxyg
Chapter: 145.*****Five Years Later And Graduation Day.******Alexander stared at his reflection in the mirror. The dress shirt was tucked neatly into his pants, the black tie hanging loosely around his neck. His hair was brushed neatly but not slicked back as he did most days, a few strands falling in front of his face. It made him want to run his fingers through it, tuck it behind his ear, but that wasn't happening this time. He was graduating. No matter how many times he'd practiced this in his mind, his eyes still felt glassy. This was it. Four years ago when Matthew surprised him with the news of him getting back to school, he didn't know how to react to the news. They had just settled, Tide had left, and he was starting to get close to his daughter but none of that could compare to the fact that he was getting back to school. Matthew was making his dreams come true, one at a time, his goals coming together. He took a deep breath, looking down at his watch and seeing it was 9:0
Chapter: 144.*****Tide lay on his bed, blinking slowly with a charming smile spread across his face. After he left Alexander in the hands of Matthew, and Atana's SoulPearl willed to him, he returned home. Aquarial remains as he left it, beautiful, and peaceful. Sea creatures moving around in every direction, Aquarial has always been so colorful, every Mer, every fish, down to their houses, high and small, all bore colors so beautiful as never seen on the Lands. But, it was late when he arrived so he went home, and slept. Tomorrow he will visit his mother first, then Neptune. And when morning came, he took care of his duties, beaming brightly as he collected spells and potions, realizing just how much he has missed his life under the Sea. But, words travel fast in Aquarial, Soulbutterfies crawling around the streets at night had seen him return and they spread the news to their owners. Tide didn't finish his spells when his mother came bargaining into his private room, yelling for h
