AMIL Michael sat down next to Mirio while I sat down opposite the two them. Their bromance was a little too over the top and I didn't want to have to deal with it. “ What's gotten into you, Amil?” Mirio asked. “ Context?” I raised a brow. “ You rarely drink especially outdoors like this,” he said. “ That's because I need to distract myself a bit,” I poured myself a drink. “ Before we get to the main course, starting off with dessert won't be bad,” Michael said, rubbing his palms together. “ You start off with appetizers, Mikey,” we chorused. “ Oh, yeah. Whatever,” he shrugged. “ So starting with the appetizer, are the rumors true?” He squinted his eyes at Mirio. “ I'm actually slightly curious to be honest,” I voiced. “ Not you too,” he laughed awkwardly. “ So is it not true?” I inquired. “ My gossip senses are telling me that they're true because he's practically glowing,” Michael assessed him as he sta
LYRON Two days had passed since that incident but I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. Whenever I think about what happened, my face turns red and my breathing becomes unsteady. “ Is it possible for me to keep avoiding him?” I banged my head against the dining table. “ Lyron, what's eating you up?” Zara sat down next to me with her arms folded. “ Nothing,” I muttered. “ Is that so? But you look like you had the worst night,” she said.“ Did something happen?” “ Yes and you'll get real mad at what I'm about to say,” I bent my head. “ What is it?” Her eyes were fixed on me. “ So… I met Amil,” I fiddled with my fingers. “ Wasn't they when you wanted to sign the endorsement contract?” She raised a brow. “ That time and two days ago,” my tone was low. “ You met up with him again?” Her voice was laced with slight annoyance. “ It wasn't intentionally though!” I raised my voice a bit in an attempt to d
Lyron's POV I took a deep breath as I walked into E&E entertainment industry. It building was tall and massive and the interior was luxuriously furnished making me gasp. This wasn't my first time entering the company building since I used to work here as a part-time janitor but I only got to enter at night during my shift. To think that one day I'd be able to work regularly here was definitely a dream come true. “ You must be Lyron,” an older man on black sweat pants and matching sweat shirt approached me. He had bodyguards with him. “ Yes, I am,” I answered nervously. I had barely made it to the receptionist desk before he walked up to me. Could he be a celebrity? He didn't look the part though and wasn't he too old to be one? I can't really wrap my head around this. “ Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Steve, the manager of the star you're going to be working for,” he stretched out his hand and I shook it nearly too quickly. “ Nice working with you, Manager
A week laterLyron's POV “ What??? You mean, he found out that you're an Omega on the first day?” Ryan exclaimed after I narrated everything that's happened to me in the past one week now. “ Unfortunately, yes,” I sighed and banged my head against the steering wheel. “ Did you get fired?” “ No, my job's safe for the time being at least. He says he wants to keep me around because I'm somewhat interesting. I don't know if I should be worried or happy that he at least didn't fire me,” I expressed how anxious I felt about this. “ It's a good thing you still have the job but I sure as hell know I wouldn't be relaxed if this happened to me,” Ryan sighed over the phone. “ Don't make this worse,” I pleaded with him. I could cry any moment thinking of what dastardly ways he wants to use to frustrate me. I heard a knock on window of the SUV I was in. “ Eisshh! You scared me,” I was genuinely startled seeing Amil by the window. I unlocked the door
Six months later Lyron's POV My life as an agent was hectic given how Amil behaved but he seemed different over the months that had passed, like he was beginning to acknowledge me. I guess, I was doing my job to the best of my ability and maybe even beyond. “ Is it really alright to live here, onii-chan?” Leilani, my little sister asked with cute big eyes. “ Of course it is. I wouldn't bring you guys here if it wasn't,” I patted her head as we walked into our new apartment. It was a fully furnished two bedroom apartment located in a highrise building. Of course there was no way I could afford such a place so it was all done by Amil, the very person who I thought hated me with all passion. Well, he did do it for his own convenience since he preferred if we lived closer to each other. I think he made the decision after I picked him up late when he had a commercial to shoot. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I was beaten up by loan sharks so I lied about
Lyron's POV “ I'm about to come down with a headache because of you. What do you mean you've been avoiding him for over two weeks now?” Zara pinched her nose bridge. “ I can't bring myself to face him after that night,” I rested my head on the desk. “ He looks like he's about to kill me because it's kinda obvious that I'm avoiding him,” I pulled on my hair. “ I'd honestly feel the very same way of the guy I slept with suddenly starts ignoring me after that especially if we have to see each other on a daily basis,” she sipped from her drink. “ So what do you think I should do?” I needed her advice at the moment. “ It's obvious, hear what he has to say,” she shrugged. “ But what if it's not something I want to hear? You know how Amil is,” I sighed. I was worried about how he would react and if he'd find a way to blame me for what happened. That was my first time as well and I honestly enjoyed having sex with him but I can't guarantee he felt the same
Lyron's POV “ I didn't think this would happen,” I cried. “ I told you before to kill whatever feelings you had for him and you went ahead to develop it,” Zara was annoyed I knew. “ So what are you going to do? You can just abort it you know,” she reminded. Three months had passed since I and Amil had sex when our rut and heat clashed. I had signed the contract after the three days of non-stop sex and Amil had become a lot nicer to me. He was more considerate of my feelings and opinions and would even let me throw tantrums - it was as though we were dating but I only came to realize that I was the one deluding myself after his engagement to Skylar, a top model and the only daughter of a well known investor was announced. Even after his engagement was announced, we still kept having sex and he would always say the sweetest things to me afterwards while I was completely shattered inside. Still, I was happy to see that he wasn't interested in his fiancee and kept
Amil's POVTwo weeks later I threw a vase to the ground towards my new agent. She shuddered in fear. “ This won't do, you know. I'm the one who broke the news to you so why are you taking it out on the new girl?” Steve sighed. “ I'm the one to decide who I take out my anger on,” I retorted. “ And this is the reason nobody wants to work for you,” he sighed before taking a seat. “ You may go, Emma,” he dismissed her. Looking at me with a trembling body, she bowed her head before excusing herself. “ Well, I never asked them to work for me either,” I snapped. “ Then why are you so bothered by the fact that Lyron left? Shouldn't you be relieved that he quit? I thought that was your original plan, what made it change?” Though his face showed no sign of slight, I knew how he truly felt. “ That doesn't matter. I told you to look for him and you come back telling me that you haven't been able to find him,” “ Do I look like

AMIL I stared at Michael for a while longer before letting out a sigh. I was going to call he and Mirio regardless after the photoshoot before I saw him approaching me “ What bar are we headed to?” I finally responded. “ Yes!” He exclaimed as he tapped my back proudly. “ I knew you wouldn't turn down such an offer. You don't have any other friend besides us,” I didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult. “ I might just reconsider if you keep yapping,” I threatened. “ Stop being such a pain,” he clicked his tongue as he briefly glared at me. “ I'll text Mirio,” he said. “ Is Mirio even in the country?” I questioned. I had been so busy with work and preoccupied with the thoughts of Lyron that I wasn't aware of his whereabouts. “ You're such a scatterbrain, you know?” Michael heaved. “ Mirio has been back for quite some time now.” “ That's unlike him,” I muttered. “ Exactly what I said!” He clapped his hands togethe
AMIL The rest of the photoshoot was a blur. My mind was scattered everywhere and I could barely focus. “ Amil, try not to look too intense okay?” The photographer said. “ Alright,” I nodded my head. Usually, my photoshoot wouldn't take this long since it was rare for me to waste so much time but with my mind distracted, it was hard to focus on the present. “ Let's wrap up for today,” the photographer clapped his hands. “ You did great everyone,” he commended as the photoshoot finally came to an end. “ How are you feeling now?” Joe whispered to me. “ I don't know,” I heaved. I felt guilty that I felt bad when the actual victim was Lyron not me. “ You need to rest,” Joe concluded, not knowing what else to say. “ I'm more surprised that you haven't asked me what happened between the both of us,” I said, looking at him. He was the curious kind that would bug me until he gets everything out so it was weird that to see him letting go of this
AMIL “ Lyron, why are you acting like this?” I was just as frustrated as he was. “ Just leave, Amil,” he said in a low voice. “ Now.” “ If I don't tell you what I have to, I will keep being haunted by it,” I stood my ground. “ You're very persistent for someone who never gave a fuck about anyone,” he scoffed. “ Your memories haunting you has nothing to do with me,” he stated. “ Lyron, please…” I pleaded. “ Please just hear me out.” “ You only want to talk to me and express yourself to get rid of the guilt you feel, isn't that right?” I had a feeling he was going to make out a totally different meaning from what I had intended. “ You haven't changed one bit. You only ever think of yourself,” he muttered. “ I'm sorry,” I apologized, ignoring every other thing. “ What for?” He frowned. “ For hurting you the way I did. I was inconsiderate about your feelings for me,” I apologized. “ I don't know why hearing this from you hur
AMIL “ Are we there yet?” I asked, taking my sleeping mask off. “ Almost. Get some rest while you're at it,” Joe instructed and I nodded my head. Studio X was one of the company's premier studios and usually celebrities affiliated with our company have their photoshoot here. It made me wonder why I didn't think about Lyron doing his photoshoot here as well. “ Hey,” I said to get Joe's attention. “ You can't be rude first thing in the morning,” he was always so uptight. “ I just gave it a thought and why do I feel like you moved up my photoshoot?” I was nearly sure I wasn't supposed to have my photoshoot today. “ Did you do it so I and Lyron's schedule would align?” “ I would have been more surprised if you hadn't noticed eventually,” he sounded so proud of me. “ You were so hung up on him that I chose to take matters into my own hands,” he shrugged. “ You can be such a bother at times but you also come in very handy,” I appre
AMIL Two days had passed since we last met. Those two days felt like forever and the look in his eyes when we met was a picture I couldn't get out of my head. “ Since when was Lyron feisty?” I groaned as I lay flat on my back. I couldn't sleep for two days straight as my though were all about Lyron. I tossed and turned, trying to fall asleep. Was he thinking about me the way I was? Did our brief encounter two days ago linger in his mind? “ Tch. I must be crazy to think he'd have me on his mind. Even if that's the case, he's probably terrified that he ran into me,” I gave myself a quick reality check. I let my thoughts drift aimlessly with the intention to bore myself to sleep. The morning light filtered through the blinds of my window. As I tried to get my heavy eyes open, I saw a masculine figure and the one thing that came to my mind was… “ Lyron?” I called out softly but why would he be in my room? “ You must have drank yourself to sleep to be confusing me for Lyron,
AMIL The driver back to the penthouse was quiet. Joe, my personal assistant had noticed the shift in my mood the moment he caught up to me by the elevator. I never thought I'd meet Lyron again, especially like this. The encounter with Lyron had stirred up emotions I thought I had buried deep within. How long has it been since I last saw him? “ Sir, are you alright?” Joe asked. “ You've been acting strange since I met you at the elevator.” “ It's nothing,” I said, rubbing my forehead. Even though I wanted to talk to Lyron so bad during the six years we were apart, I couldn't bring myself to search for him intensively, not after everything I had done to him. Not to mention that if I had searched for him openly, grandad would have found out. “ Actually, it's about the artist that came to sign the contract,” I chose to tell him. Joe wasn't my assistant back then so he has no knowledge of who I associated with in the past. “ Do you not like him?” He looked conce
Putting on my shades, my bodyguards opened the door of the van for me. “ I hope I don't have to deal with reporters today,” I groaned as I stepped out. “ I made sure no one knows about it but I'd be lying to say i can prevent reporters from finding out,” Ryan said as I stood side by side with him. My bodyguards shielded us from the reporters as we walked into the company building. Getting into the company, I was welcomed by a lady who introduced secretary of the vice chairman. She took us to the VIP elevator and we headed straight for the conference room where we'd be using for the endorsement deal. I was somewhat nervous because this contract signing would solidify my position as a global sensation. I was famous in Europe but not as much in North America so this was an important deal for me. “ He's here, sir,” the secretary announced as we walked into the conference room. “ It's an honor to meet you personally, Vice president,” I bowed my h
