"Are you okay?" He could only ask.
"Mn." Gulf only hummed in response.
Brent understood that Gulf is not yet ready to share whatever it is. He keeps glancing at Gulf from time to time until they reached the mansion.
"We're here," he said.
"Thanks, Brent," Gulf said
"No problem." Brent smiled and Gulf is about to get out whe
Mew tilted his head. Hisexpression confused Gulf. He looks like he's about to kill someone."A-are you okay, love?"Gulf asked walking to him.Gulf touches his man's face and checks it. Mew suddenly claimed his lips to a hungry kiss. Gulf didn't pull away instead, he kisses him back with the same intensity.Mew is biting his lower lip making him moaned. Mew took the chance to slide his tongue in. He picked up the younger who automatically wrapped his legs around his torso.Gulf's back was pressed by the glass door of their balcony. Mew starts grinding his lower region to Gulf's."Hnngg~"Gulf is
The most awaited day came. The birthday of their mama Lia who is sulking right now. "Honey stopped sulking," Alex said. They are on their way to the beach where they will celebrate her birthday with only them. "How can I? It's my birthday and my two sons are not joining us," she said pouting. "There's an emergency at work. And you know Mew will never let Kana travel alone," Alex said. "I know but- "Mama Lia, it's okay. We're here. Also, they promised they will come after," Will said. "Right. Besides, we are going to stay there until Monday," Alex said. She sighed... "Fine. I'm going to nap first," Alex, Will, and Miko glanced at each other and smiled. They arrived at their private beach after 3 hours. Lia entered gloomily. "Why the long face, mama?" Lia lifts her face and beamed. She saw her sons smiling at her. "Kana! Snaily!" She runs to them and smothered them with kisses making the others lau
"A-Alice? Is it really, you?" Lia asked. "Lia" Alice said opening her arms. Lia didn't hesitate and stands up and runs to her best friend. "I- I thought you were gone. H-how?" Lia asked crying. Lia is a year younger than her. They are like sisters. Alice cupped her face. "I'm back and alive, Li." She said with her tears falling. "Alice," Alex called and Alice welcomed him. "Thank God, you're alive," Alex said kissing Alice's head. Gestures like that have no issues with them. The truth is, Alice and Alex are best friends, and Derek and Lia were too. They fell for each others' best friends. Will and Miko looked at Gulf for confirmation and Gulf nodded with his tear-stricken face. Will looked at Brent who smiled and nodded at him. Now he understood why the two are always together lately. He and Miko are genuinely happy for their friend. "Ma
Two months have passed and everything seems okay. The two decided to hold their wedding at the end of the year. So they still have 4 months before that. Aside from work, all of them are secretly investigating James' death. They all have this gut feeling that the man is alive and waiting for the right time to attack. Alice is fully recovered. Kana wanted to give back the chairmanship of the company to her but his mom rejected it. She only agreed to be a part of the shareholders. She already met her aunt and Mr. N secretly. It was very emotional. The only thing left was to tell the crowd that she is alive. This is also their way to lure out James. Truth is, all of them are working together to find him except for Gulf. They left him behind so that he can have a much peaceful life. But
//flashback continues// "Papa?" Gulf lowered his gun and runs to his father. "You're alive, Pa! I knew you were," Gulf said crying. Alvic hugs him back tightly. He misses his young master so much. "Don't cry, champ," "Where were you? M-mama is," *sobs* "Shh, it's okay. I know what happened," Alvic said. Gulf pulled away from him a little. "Y-you knew? W-why you didn't- "It's for your safety and something else," his father said. He cupped Kana's face and sighed in relief. "I'm happy you're well. How are you?" he asked. Kana sniffed. "I'm okay. Mama Lia and Papa Alex are taking care of me like their own a-and Shion too. But I'm sure he's worried now. I sneaked out," Gulf said making his papa chuckle and ruffled his hair. Gulf took his hand and put it on his cheek. "Why have you decided to show yourself now?" "Because it's high time to face everything," he said.
//flashback continues// "W-what did you say?" Derek and Alvic were both shocked. Gulf starts getting teary. He nodded and took his dada's hand. "Mommy is alive. Grandpa saved her. He finally saved her from that devil," Gulf said. "What happened?" Derek asked. "James kept him all these years. He put mommy to sleep. Leo worked for him to spy what he was hiding and that's how grandpa knows that mommy is alive. James wanted to use mommy against us to get what he wants but fortunately, grandpa saved mommy and exposed that bastard's true self," Gulf told his dad. Derek is beyond mad but at the same time relieved and happy that his wife is alive and well. He hugs his son and rubs his back. "We will make him pay, son. I promise you," Derek said. "Then we will all be together?" Gulf asked his dada. Derek smiled at him. "Yes, son. We will all be together very soon," Gulf sighed and hugs his dada tightly an
Gulf woke up from a dream. A bad one. He dreamt about Nattalie and his mama. They are angry with him. They wish him to die. This is the first time he has dreamt like this. He gets off the bed like a robot and lets his feet drag him somewhere. The guards saw him and they silently watched him, making sure he's safe. They are less worried when their don arrives. Mew carried him back to their room. He cleaned Gulf's feet because he was barefoot. Gulf starts squirming and whimpering. "Love, wake up. It's just a dream. Come on, love." Mew is gently shaking him. Gulf opened his eyes slowly and the moment he saw Mew's face, he starts crying hard. "Love, stop crying. I'm here. Come on," Mew keeps on muttering until Gulf calms down. "I'm sorry. I can't tell you anything for now. But I promise, love, I am not cheating." Gulf said. "Alright. Let's forget about it first. I believe you." Mew caresses Gulf's cheeks
As they enter the house, Mew pulled Gulf's hand to ask something. But before he can ask, Gulf's attention was stolen away by someone. "Baby boy," the voice said. "Dada!" Gulf let go of Mew's hand. The latter was shocked hearing and seeing the man his fiancé is hugging. His eyes almost popped out from its sockets. Alvic chuckled while watching his reaction. "Derek Trion," Shion uttered, snapping the father-and-son in their bubbles. Derek stared at him before releasing his son from his hold. "Shion Jensen. The boy who made my little Kana, cry. Even when you were little, you made my baby's nose running from crying," he said. Shion gulped. He is nervous facing his soon-to-be father-in-law. He glances at his boyfriend who he finds trying hard to hold his laughter. "Uhm- "I'm just kidding, relax," Derek said. Gulf went to him and hold his hands. "My family is complete now, love," Gulf said a little teary.
The time of delivery arrived. Kana has been prepared for the surgery. Shion is with him inside the operating room. Holding Kana's hand throughout the process, their princess was brought to the world.Shion cried seeing and hearing her cries for the first time. He was over the moon. Their little is so beautiful. She got her dada's feature except for the color of her skin. She got Shion's fairness.Kana was transferred to a VVIP room to recover. After four hours from the operation, he woke up."Hi, love," Shion said before kissing his lips.Kana smiled at his husband and raised his arms asking for help to make him sit."Where is she?" Kana asked
/Time skipped/ Months have passed and Kanatha is almost due. These past months were like a roller coaster ride. His mood swings are not a joke. Shion sometimes had a hard time because of it. But he remained calm and understanding for he knew that Kana's hardship is nothing compared to what he was feeling. Pregnancy is truly hard, especially with his husband's state. Male pregnancy is rare and Kanatha is one of those rare that received this gift. Though it's hard, with their families' support, they survived the first 8 months and now waiting for their little one to arrive. They had a gender reveal when Kana is in his 5th month. They are having a baby girl. Everyone was thrilled a
It's been a week since they start living there. Everything is normal now that the serpent was gone. Kana is relieved that he can now freely go out with his parents and his grandfather will never be lonely anymore. That serpent took more than a decade of their lives. But now, their lives are starting to get back what was lost. They will create new memories together and Kana being pregnant is a beautiful bonus. The whole week, they spend it at the mansion. They reminisce and create new memories. Right now, Kana and Shion are in the garden. They are lying on a blanket. Kana's head is on his husband's lap. "Love," he called out. "Hm?" Shion hummed running his fingers on Kana's locks. "I remember, this coming Sunday is Dada and Mommy's anniversary. Can we surprise them?" Kana said. "Really?" "Mn. Can you help me plan?" Kana asked. "I would love to. What do you have in mind?" Kana sat up properly and relayed his plan.
As the couple planned, they set a dinner party on Kana's 2nd month of pregnancy. His tummy is not that big that's why they didn't get suspicious. He's not craving that much aside from his husband's attention and his mood is still normal. Well, based on him. "Love, when will the dinosaur balloon arrive? We still need to set it up," He said whining. He squeals when Shion carries and made him sit on the couch. "Stay put. I and the boys will handle everything," Shion said. "But my balloons~" "Will be here soon- Oh, it's here," Shion said. Kana was about to go to the door but Shion stopped him. "Sit down. You better listen or I will pop them," Shion warned. Luke and Joss chuckled earning a glare from him. "Go get the door!" He ordered annoyed. "Yes, baby boss," Joss salute. These bodyguards who became his friends don't know what's the party is for. They just follow the orders they were given.
As promised, when the couple woke up, they told him what happened to James. /flashback/ James was sleeping when someone splashed him with cold water. "What the fu-" He stopped and paled seeing who is there. "Long time no see, snake," the man said smirking. "A-axel," he stuttered. "Glad you still know my name," Axel said. Axel Dane. Who is he and what did the serpent do to be afraid of him that he wishes to be killed instead of being tortured by him was because James used him. How? By manipulating his feelings for him. Yes, Axel was his former lover or fling to him. Axel was a sweet person who is yearned for someone to love him for who he is not for what he has and can offer. He met James when he was broken and James, as a good actor he is, used Axel's feelings to take advantage of him. Because of the attention and care that he showed Axel, he fell in love. Axel was the sole heir of Dane I
Shion and Kanatha's honeymoon is going smoothly. They enjoyed the activities that they tried until it was time to leave. One of the memories that will be cherished was Kana's experience on the yacht. He really had fun. They also did scuba diving and got the chance to feed the fishes even the sharks. They also tried the room underwater and they made love there while the fishes are swimming around. It was magical for both of them. Well, at least they did that before they decided to watch The Meg. Because after watching, Kana can't stop but feel like it will be outside their room making eye contact with him just like in the movie. Shion finds it cute but still, he can't risk his husband's mental health. That very moment, they checked out. When they are inside the car, they both burst out laughing. "Why are you laughing, love?" "Oh, nothing. I just remember our silliness because of watching the meg," Kana said. They are now
Today is their flight to the Maldives. They decided to have a 2-month long honeymoon to be able to go to places that Kana wanted to visit. To Shion's dismay, they are traveling on the public plane. "Love, can you not look like you're about to burn the whole plane?" Kana whispered. "Why do we have to travel like this when we have our planes?" Shion asked annoyed. Kana's lips start quivering, "Because I want to experience it. If you don't want to, you could have told me and we could just meet there and- "Hold on, you are saying that we will travel separately if I told you?" Shion asked in disbelief. Kana chuckled awkwardly and cling to his hubby's arm while leaning his head on the latter's shoulder. Shion is staring at him still can't believe what Kana wanted. During the flight, Shion is giving his husband, silent treatment. Though he's just letting him do what he wants like feeding him, leaning on his shoulder or when Kana asked
The next day, Kana is still frustrated. Yes, Shion is still acting normal towards him except being clingy and touchy like before. Well, he still does, but it's like he's holding it back. "Good morning," Shion greeted him and pecked his lips. "Morning," he replied. Shion noticed his mood. "Is there something wrong?" he asked. "Oh, nothing. I'm going to be late later," Kana told his hubby. "Lots of work?" Shion asked. Kana drinks his milk first before answering. "Nope. Will, Miko and I will go somewhere after work. Oh, I'm gonna be late. See you later," he said. He just pecked Shion's cheek. "Where is he going?" Shion mumbled. ** At the office, Kana told his friends what he said to Shion. "So, where are we going?" Will asked. "I don't know," he answered sighing. "Why don't we hit the bar?" Miko suggested. Kana looked at Will who shrugged. Sigh, "Bar it is," M
Shion and Kana walk hand in hand. They stopped at the main door and glance at each other. "Ready?" asked, Shion. "I am," Kana smiled. Shion pushed the door and guided Kana, inside. 'It's still the same,' Kana thought. "How is it, love?" Shion asked while observing him. "It looks the same," Kana answered. His eyes wander and his tears keep on falling. "Even the warmth is the same," he said looking at his husband. "Come, let's look around," They walk around the living room and the kitchen entrance came to view. His feet dragged him there. He choked on sobs. The feeling is overwhelming. He can still smell the freshly baked cookies of his mommy. And the memory of them baking it together while having fun makes him more nostalgic. "We used to bake cookies here. And while waiting for it, mommy would always tell me stories and dada will act the scenes," Kana reminisced. Shion hugs him fro
