LYRONSix years later The plane touched down at JFK International Airport. It was bustling and rowdy as always. It's been six years since I last stepped into the US, yet it felt both familiar and foreign. My mind went to Amil, he most likely hadn't moved so it wasn't entirely impossible to not bump into him so I'd do everything to prevent that from happening. “ Daddy?” Eleo tugged at my pants. “ Yes, Lee?” I snapped back into reality hearing my son calling out to me. He was the cutest five-year old. “ Is it necessary to keep this on?” He pulled at his face mask looking sulky. “ Just bear with daddy a little bit okay? You won't need to wear it when we get into the car,” I kneaded his soft cheeks. “ But it's uncomfortable,” he complained. “ I know but you don't like when those people with cameras show up, do you?” I tried my best to convince him. I was yet to reveal Eleo to the public and I doubt I planned to do that anytime soo
LYRON I got ready for the signing of my endorsement contract. After getting dressed, I headed downstairs. “ You were quick,” Ryan who seemed to have been waiting for me said. “ I can't leave a wrong impression, can I?” I asked rhetorically. “ I guess, you can't. Where's Eleo?” He searched for Eleo with his eyes. “ He's still asleep,” I answered. “ He's like an angel when he sleeps. He's an angel as well when he's awake but you get,” I doted. “ You're such a mom,” Ryan heaved. “ Well, that's not a lie,” I mean, I did give birth to him. “ Has the nanny come?” I asked Ryan. “ How would I know? I don't live with you,” he slumped into a more comfortable position on the chair. I went to the kitchen to see if the nanny had come but she hadn't. “ That's odd,” I muttered. She wasn't the type to run late. “ Lyron!” Ryan called out to me from the living room. I briskly walked over to see why he was calling me. “ The nanny is here,” he said once I was in the living room
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
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
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 “ 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 “ 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 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
LYRON “ Welcome home,” Amil and Eleo chorused. Tonight was going to be a handful, that much I was sure of. “ Thank you,” I shook away my surprise. “ Did you have fun today, Eleo?” I kissed him on the forehead. “ Yes. Daddy actually bought me this new robot I always wanted,” Eleo went on and on about the gifts Amil had gotten him. “ Is that so?” I smiled and he nodded his head. So cute. “ But mummy, who's that?” The sparkle from both Eleo and Amil’s eyes disappeared as they glared at Dylan who was behind me. They were literally twins. “ Oh, he's a friend of mine. I invited him over for dinner so would you two stop glaring at our guest?” I heaved. They were awfully possessive. “ It's alright. You didn't inform them beforehand so they must be surprised to see me here,” Dylan placed a hand on my shoulder to stop me from reprimanding them. And Eleo's glare intensified. He really didn't like Dylan. “ I'm Dylan Houghton, it's a pleasure
LYRONTwo months later Contrary to what I had assumed, Dylan wasn't at all bad to be around. For the most part, I enjoyed his company and we had become friends. “ You don't have to drop me off, you know,” I said as he got into the driver's seat. “ But I want to,” he smiled. “ We're not even going in the same direction,” I muttered. “ You just love to complain, don't you?” He giggled. “ And who's making me complain? It's your fault,” I pouted. “ So you don't want me to give you a ride now? I thought we were close enough by now,” he sounded disappointed. “ I never said we weren't friends. I just don't like burdening people,” I secured myself with my seatbelt. “ As long as I don't complain then you have no need to worry,” he ruffled my hair. Starting his engine, we zoomed off. Our ride to my house was quiet yet comfortable, it wasn't awkward like the first time. “ Maybe I should invite him for dinner,” I cons
LYRONA week later “ Erm… I don't want to sound rude or anything but what are you doing here?” I couldn't even bring myself to look at him, this was weird and awkward. “ That hurt my feelings a bit,” ge rest his chin on his hand. He leaned closer, the table between us stopping him from coming too close. “ You were the one who put up an ad on MeChat about a blind date,” he smiled. “ Still, you were the last person I thought would show up,” I muttered. Zara was right about me always acting in the spur of the moment. “ Even though we already know who we are, it's courteous to reintroduce ourselves,” he suggested. “ I'm Dylan Houghton. Nice to meet you again Lyron.” “ I guess, it's nice to meet you as well,” I said hesitantly. “ Lyron Aoki,” I shook his hand. “ Enough with the formality. Why don't we order something?” He suggested as he gestured to the menu in front of me. What were the odds that he'd be the one to show up? Of course I expected a c
LYRON My body felt sore all over like I had been pounded beyond repair. I painstakingly forced my eyes open as the rays of light from the window slipped in. “ My head hurts,” I groaned as I rolled over into a more comfortable position. “ You're finally back to your senses,” a familiar female voice came from a dim figure that stood by the window. “ Zara?” “ Yes. Have you lost your ability to recognize people now?” She sighed as she walked over to me. “ No but I want to sleep a bit more,” I hugged a pillow, closing my eyes back. “ Not on my watch,” she sprinkled cold water on eyes. That was enough to get me wide awake. “ You didn't have to go that far,” I was no longer sleepy. “ If I didn't, you'd still be rolling under your sheets,” she flicked my forehead. “ How are you feeling?” “ Other than the fact that my body hurts, I feel great,” I said. “ Can you sit up?” She asked as she propped me into a
AMIL “ Fuck!” I groaned as Lyron sucked on me. Why was he oddly good at this? Has he done this with someone other than me? I shouldn't be this defensive given my history of dating but still… “ Have you given any other person a blow job other than me?” I raised his head so I could see his face properly. He shook his head still having my cock in his mouth. I felt relieved that I was the only one he had shown this side of him to, even if that was self-centered of me. I grabbed him by the hair and shoved my dick better in his mouth, reaching the back of his throat. I was about to climax. It's been so long since I felt this good. “ I'm cumming,” I groaned. I tried pushing his head away from me so I wouldn't cum in his mouth.“ Hey, I'm about to cum so you can let go of me now,” I said forcefully removing my cock from his mouth since he wouldn't let it go. “ I'm fine with you cumming in my mouth though,” he looked adorable saying that. “ I need t
LYRON My eyes lingered on him as my heart continued to pound. It wasn't like him to attend company gatherings and I'd know for sure given that I was his agent at some point. “ What are you looking at? And why's your face red?” Dylan's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I grabbed a bottle of alcohol and chugged it down my throat. “ Hey! What do you think you're doing chugging down a whole bottle? I thought you said you can't hold your liquor well?” Dylan panicked seeing me resting my head against the table. Luckily, a bottle of alcohol wasn't enough to make me completely wasted. “ I did but…” I hiccupped. “ I haven't talked to him since yesterday,” I muttered. “ Maybe it would be best if you head home,” Dylan suggested. “ The party hasn't even gone far, how can I just leave?” I raised my head again. I felt drowsy and sleepy. “ That's not the problem here, trust me. We don't want you losing consciousness so it's best if you go home
LYRON My eyes widened in surprise, I didn't see that coming at all. How could I not know the acting CEO of the company I work for? “ I'm Lyron,” I was so nervous that I ended up reintroducing myself. “ There's no need to be nervous, Lyron,” he laughed and all I could say was he was definitely going to have girls toppling over him. “ Haa, I'm just slightly embarrassed because I don't know who I'm working for,” I rubbed the back of my neck. My cheeks were red. “ It's fine really. I don't put myself out there so it's expected,” he reassured me. He was so nice and humble that it was hard to believe he came from such a wealthy family. Well, there's Jason who's similar just that Jason doesn't smile and is rather emotionless. “ Still, it's a pleasure to meet you in person,” I bowed my head slightly. “ I'm not that big of a deal,” he waved his hands frantically. “ I look forward to watching your performance.” He was making me feel a lot mo
LYRON Getting into the car, my whole face turned a bright red. I can't believe I asked him for a kiss. “ My heart is about to explode,” I muttered as I clutched my chest. “ Ahem,” Jason cleared his throat. I had forgotten I was seated next to him. “ Did you two settle or what? I thought you hated him so I'm surprised that you actually kissed him.” “ Ah, it's not like that. I just…” I couldn't even come up with a suitable excuse. I had actually wanted us to kiss to confirm if I still had feelings for him and I can't believe I still do even after everything he's done to me. “ Nevermind that,” he sighed and shook his head. “ Does he want custody of Eleo?” “ No. He even promised that he'd make sure his family doesn't find out to protect I and Eleo,” I said. “ Hmmm, he's not as bad as I thought,” Jason folded his arms. “ Right? I was actually surprised by his attitude and the fact that he apologized to me,” I felt butterflies
AMIL I stared at Lyron waiting for an explanation like he owed me one. Well, he sorta did since he brought a third party along. “ I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused,” he apologized with his eyes closed. “ Are you really his brother? I don't remember him having a brother close in age,” I interrogated him. “ Not to mention that all his siblings are just kids,” I added. “ You really do know him,” he heaved like he didn't want to have to explain. “ So are you two not brothers?” “ We are. Stepbrothers to be precise,” he answered. “ I haven't heard that Mr McClain got divorced,” I raised a brow. “ He didn't. Kaiser’s wife is my mom,” he frowned. “ I don't want to go into my personal life so I won't answer anything more on this subject,” he drew a clear line I shouldn't cross. “ Is there a particular reason you wanted us to meet up?” Things were beginning to get awkward so I had to change the topic.
