There's only a week left before the engagement party. They decided to invite only 1 T.V. station that will broadcast the event.
"Everything is set for next week," Eric said.
They are having their lunch discussing the party. They had dinner with the Jensens last night.
They are exchanging opinions when Kana's phone starts ringing. Seeing the caller, he stiffened. He excused himself and goes to his room.
They found his reaction a little suspicious.
Inside his room, he answered the call.
"I'm sorry I couldn't answer right away. I was with them," he said.
"It's okay. How are they?" The man on the other line asked.
"They are great," he said and sighed.
"Hey, it's just a week only. Bear with it a little, hm? For dada?"
Gulf sighed again. "Okay. It's just that, I miss you and I can't wait to be with you again,"
He continues talking sweetly without knowing that his mommy is listening. Alice is conf
It's the day that the Elixir will declare war in their own way. They had a good sleep especially Alice. She dreamt of her husband. They had breakfast and get ready. The party will start at 5 p.m. They invited their allies too. No one knows that Alice is alive. The T.V station they invited will only cover the engagement and the announcement that Alice is alive. After that, they will have a meeting together with the other dons. They are also businessmen so it will look like a business meeting. The time arrived and their visitors are arriving. Eric, Alex, and Lia are the ones who are welcoming them. The event started and Eric called their attention. "Pleasant day to everyone. I am happy to see all of you again," Eric starts. "I know all of you are intrigued why I called you here. Well, I called you all here to celebrate with us. Recently, something worth celebrating for both Trion and Jensen happened. Months ago, you all know that
Morning came and everyone is in the dining room. What happened yesterday still feels surreal. Derek chuckled as he noticed the stares from the others. "I'm real, guys. And I know you all are curious about what happened to me. But, let's not spoil our breakfast and talk about it after," he said. The others chuckled as well and resume eating their breakfast. After that, they all headed to the living room. "Okay, so what happened is that I had amnesia. That's the reason why after recovering from my wounds, I didn't return," Derek started. "Was it Alvic who take care of you?" Alice asked. "Not really. I found him accidentally. An old couple found him and nursed him back to health. I found him through them. I helped them to get home and saw Derek there," Alvic answered. "So, that's the reason why you were gone leaving Kanatha alone?" Alex asked. Alvic lowered his head. "Yes. I wanted to take him with me but it will be hard for him a
Three days before the inauguration of Derek, Kana's request from everyone is about to happen. The favor that Kana asked their families was to help him prepare a surprise wedding for Shion. He can't let the situation hinders their union. It will be on the Jensen's mansions. Right now, Shion is in the office. Kana told him that he'll visit Lia and Alex. At 4 in the afternoon, Zeke came rushing inside Shion's office. "Shion! You need to go back home, fast!" He exclaimed panting. "W-why? What happened?" he asked standing up. Before Zeke can answer, Sean barged in. "Shion, hurry!" "What the fuck is going on?!" Shion exclaimed losing his patience. His CFO and assistant look at each other first. "It's Kana," "Kana," The two said at the same time. Shion's blood runs cold. Worry fills his mind. Without wasting any more time, he runs out of his office. Zeke and Sean, high-fived. "Let's get
Morning came and Shion who is still sleeping feel something heavy on top of him. He slowly opens his eyes and a beautiful sight welcomed him. "Good morning, hubby," Kana greeted him, and it makes him smile. "Good morning, wifey," he greeted back. Kana blushes at the endearment. "How long have you been awake?" Shion asked. "I don't know. I lost the time watching you," he answered. Shion chuckled. He sat up and pulled his wife for a hug. He released him and claimed Kana's lips for a good morning kiss. "Uhm, love?" "Yes?" "I'm sorry for sleeping on our first night," Kana said shyly. Shion finds him cute and decided to tease him. His face turned sad. "It's okay. The cold shower helped," he said making his wife's eyes widen. "I uh- sorry," Kana felt bad about it. Shion was taken aback. He can't believe that his baby will be gullible. He cupped the latter's face and he was shocked to se
As James settled in his new burrow, he is also thinking of what he can do to get back at Derek."Did you get what I asked you to?" He asked Darren."Sir, about that, it's hard to get the goods. They are all afraid that they will be targeted next," Darren said.James told him to buy guns. The other mafias are afraid to get involved with the serpent.The bad news caused James to destroy his new hideout. He's feeling trapped. The receiving end of his frustration is his men.The problem is, his men are starting to think of leaving him. Death surely awaits them. Even Darren is thinking but the thing that's holding him back was the good thing that James did to him. They are all having mental struggles.**It's been almost a month and James managed to stay hidden. Or so he thought."Sir, sir!" Darren barges into his room."What?" He asked annoyed as he was sleeping.Darren handed him an envelope with his name on it. He loo
It was the weekend and they decided to go out. They want to have a family outing. They chose to go to an eco-park. Nature is what they like. "Whoa~ I miss going out like this," Miko stated as they exited the car. "I agree. It's like we are on a recreational trip," Will said. "The air is so fresh," Alice commented. "Come, let's head to the campsite and fix the tents," Derek said. "We will take care of it, dad," Kana said. "Oh, then, we will unload the stuff and start to make some snacks," Derek said. "We'll take care of the snacks," Alice said. "I'll help the girls," Eric said. Derek, Alex, Alvic, and Shion, start getting their things. As for the wives, they start preparing the snacks. The place is surrounded by shadow guards. Jossnamd Luke is helping out with the tents. "Someone is following us earlier," Alvic said. "I noticed that too. Do you think it's him?" Shion asked. "Wouldn
The day of the plan will happen next weekend. Today, Darren will inform his boss that they finally found some group that is willing to sell ammo. "Sir!" "What now?" James asked. "We finally found someone that agreed to sell us some ammo," Darren said. James' face light up. "Really? Who?" "Red Fox," Darren answered. James smirked. He knew that the group's don is ambitious. "How did you convince him?" he asked. "I just asked if we can buy some and he just asked what is it for. When he learned that it's for fighting Elixir, he didn't think twice. Hence, he offered to give it for free," Darren relayed. "Free? In return of what?" James asked. "Alliance, sir," Hearing that, James beamed. "Finally, a true man came to light," he said. "He wanted to meet you next weekend in one of his warehouses to discuss more with you. He said he wanted to lend some of his men to our aid," Everyt
At the warehouse, the Red Fox is waiting for the Serpent to arrive. "That serpent is late. He still thinks he's special," Mr. Carter said. Derek chuckled hearing it through their earpiece. The whole warehouse is bugged. "Boss, they're here," his man informed. "About goddamn time," he muttered. "Mr. Carter!" James greeted in a friendly approach. "You're late, serpent," Carter said. James knew that the man is not pleased. "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter- "Let's get down to business," Carter cut him. "Sure" James simpered. "I heard you wanted to take over Elixir, is that right?" Mr. Carter said. James chuckled. "Not really," "I'm wrong, then?" Carter asked raising his brows. "I don't want to take over. I want them dead. Especially Derek," James said making the listeners scoffed. "You have a big ambition, Harris. Killing the don of the immortals is suicide. Here, have some," Th
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
