"Are you sure you will be going to school?" Devon asked for the nth time."Yes, I will, so stop your rumblings. I am not puny and not a girl" Bienley snarled angrily at Devon, still exhausted from what happened the night before."I'm sorry for last night" Devon guiltily glanced at him. They have been in the car for a few minutes but have not left the parking lot yet.He has been worried for Bienley after last night. Though his body had handled him well, he was certain that his ass was on fire in the morning, despite the medication he had administered."Why do you keep apologizing? I asked for it. You sounded like you regretted it, and its irritating me more" Bienley groaned in annoyance and closed his eyes, dismissing himself from the confrontation. "I will never regret what happened between us, but I am concerned, Bienley," Devon sighed, looking at Bienley's beautiful face.Contrary to his foul mood and sputters of harsh words, Bienley apeared calm with his closed eyes. "I've told
While Josh and Kit are dreadfully waiting for Zen to find Devon, the engineering group chats are on fire."Von, Zen has been sending messages to every engineering message bulletin, looking for you. It may be urgent," Lucas remarked, scrolling through his phone."Shit, I forgot to charge my phone. It could have drained by now." Devon qucikly retrieved his phone from his backpack and checked it."Yeah, it's dead" he snorted and went to charge it. "Just tell Zen I am here, and my battery is dead. I will wait for him here before I leave to pick up Bienley" Devon turned to Lucas.He was completely oblivious of the panic from the other side of engineering.Just a few minutes after Lucas sent the reply, Zen entered the classroom, panting. "Boss, Bienley needs you," Zen managed to say between panting gasps."What happened to Bienley? Where is he?" Devon and Lucas are on their feet as they hear Bienley's name."He is with Josh and Kit. They could not reach you, so they called me instead. The
Josh tried to gather his thoughts while looking at Devon's attentive gaze. He had already expected Devon would ask and he deserve to know. He had been with Bienley whenever he had a breakdown when the sky darkened and heavy rain poured, but he was never used to seeing him in such a miserable state."I am surprised that Bienley quickly falls asleep with you. In times like this, he would find it difficult to calm down, more so fall asleep" Josh mumbled, staring at Bienley's peaceful face."He knows he is safe with me" Devon placed a kiss on Bienley's forehead before turning back to Josh, waiting for him to speak. "I do not think Bienley would mind if I tell you. Anyway, as his boyfriend, you need to know to understand him more" Josh said, after his deep contemplation. "I am sure he will tell me all about it. But I can not wait until he wakes up; I need to know now" Devon seriously demanded. "Bienley will not behave this way for no reason. I am so fucking worried, so make me underst
"Josh told me everything" Devon softly mumbled, cuddling Bienley on his bed. Bienley remained asleep even after they arrived at Devon's place. He woke up a few hours later, complaining of hunger.After eating their dinner, which Devon had arranged to be delivered, and doing their nightly routine, they are now cuddled in bed, ready to sleep. "I know he will. Josh and Kit are like my older brothers. They will always take good care of me" Bienley's fondness for his friends is evident in his voice. "You have me too, Bienley, and all of my friends" Devon held his chin to make him look at him. "I know. Thank you, Devon" He reached for his lips and placed a tender kiss."But I'm embarrassed to your friends for causing such a mess earlier. I was not expecting to have a meltdown at school," he sighed, feeling despondent as he remembered the fuzzy incident."There's nothing to be embarrassed. What happened is beyond your control. They fully understand." Devon assured him, and they locked ga
"Baby..." They were in the rear seat of the car, and Devon was still attempting to distract Bienley."This will be quick" he soflty mumbled, unzipping Devon's pants."Love, it's midday already and I have a busy morning" Devon continued to distract him."Me, too. I had a hectic morning" he smiled when he successfully unhooked and unzipped Devin's pants."Babe, I have been running around all morning. I got sweaty and... fuck!" He is still trying to explain his reluctance when Bienley unceremoniously slipped his hand inside his boxers. "Ahhh..." he gasped aloud and threw his head back when Bienley started to stroke his entire length."So hard already. Are you enjoying this, Devon? You love doing it here?" With his teasing smile, he playfully asked."It is always hard whenever you are around. This is insane, but it is getting me so excited." Devon did not hold back as he gave Bienley control to his body. "Hah..." he exclaimed, clutching Bienley's nape and opening his legs wider to acco
Bienley, Josh, and Kit enter the restaurant where they have all agreed to eat dinner.The engineering gang has yet to arrive. This would be the first time the two groups would meet in public, although they will be having their dinner in a private room.They ordered on their behalf, while Bienley ordered Devon's favorites.Kit and Josh exchanged a glance before turning their attention to Bienley. After he and Devon happened, he is gradually returning to the person he was before his father's death. He is progressively opening himself again to those people who matters to him. Josh and Kit has observed that he had regained his confidence in expressing his feelings."You look so great, Bienney" Kit fondly smiled, making Bienley amused."When did I look lame, Kitty?" he asked playfully, glaring at him."You always look fantastic, but these days you seemed to shine even brighter. Even your smile appears sweeter" Kit winked at him."Do you have a crush on me, Kitty?" Bienley teasing confron
"Thank you, Devon" Bienley glanced back at Devon while he is caressing his back. After all the fun they had earlier in the rain, they took a warm bath to relax for the remainder of the evening. Not to mention that they were both shivering while driving back to his place. "Everything for you, Bienley" Devon kissed him behind his ear, making him shudder from the tickling sensation of his hot breath. "Hmm..." he moaned, allowing Devon greater access to his neck while he trailed delicate kisses along it.Tormented by Devon's delicious teasing, Bienley turned to face him to find his lips. "Ahhm" their groans break the silence of Devon's luxurious bathroom, as their tongues clash in a delightful duel. Devon pulled him closer, making him stradle him. "Ah! This is awesome" with a dreamy look, Bienley threw his head back as Devon stroked their throbbing lengths together. His hips move in rhythm, grinding atop Devon. "You are gorgeous, Baby" their heavy breaths filled the room as Devon
"Devon, we will be late" Bienley called from the closet."Done, let's go love" Devon answered while gathering his things.When they arrived in the basement parking, Bienley slowed his steps and fixed his gaze on the white car next to Devon's black one.Aside from their contrasting colors, the two vehicles are identical."It's yours, it arrived yesterday" Devon muttered."Seriously, Devon?" He was exasperated, but the other guy seemed unbothered."Couple stuff" Devon winked and raised the key in front of him, adding to his incredulity. "You are crazy, Devon Dalton" he could do nothing but shake his head, grabbing the key from his hand."Drive safely" Devon made a playful salute, walking towards their own vehicle. As Bienley expected, the vehicle created an uproar."Exactly how many cars did Devon have? Does he have a collection of all the colors?" Kit asked in awe. "Couple stuff" smiling, he imitated what Devon said and the way he said it. Kit and Josh stared at him with arched bro
"Good morning! Welcome to the Sunshine Montessori Parents' Orientation," the young woman greeted with an amiable smile, her voice warm and inviting. She looked expectantly at the two men who had just stepped into the bustling school hall. The moment they entered, a stir went through the room. Some of the people present couldn't suppress their giggles and hushed shrieks as they took in the sight of the strikingly handsome pair."We're here for Zack and Justin Dalton," the taller of the two men replied. His voice was deep and confident, cutting through the soft murmur of conversation in the hall."Oh, the adorable twins!" The girl beamed, her eyes lighting up. "May I please know your relationship to the twins?" she asked, her smile never wavering."Zack and Justin are our sons. We're their fathers, Devon Dalton and my husband, Bienley Cullen," Devon casually responded. As he spoke, Bienley offered a warm, friendly smile to the young teacher.The words dropped like a bombshell. A stunn
Bienley cut an incredibly dashing figure, dressed to the nines in a crisp white cotton shirt that clung gently to his form, paired with a cream - colored coat that exuded an air of effortless elegance. His loose chino pants fell in perfect creases, and on his feet were pristine white loafers, completing the look of immaculate handsomeness."The Casanova is still as drop-dead gorgeous as he was back in university days," one alumni whispered to another, their eyes fixed on Bienley with a hint of admiration."He's only gotten better with age," another chimed in. "There's a new ruggedness to him, more manly than ever."A curious murmur went through the group. "I wonder if he's still with that former gang leader," someone mused."I'm pretty sure they're still together," another replied confidently."Wow, really? How long has it been?""Must be a decade by now," came the speculative answer."That's quite an accomplishment, staying together for so long," someone else added."But why weren'
"Fin"The moment Bella's gaze laid on the humble house where her father and son had made their home, a rush of emotion welled within her. Tears brimmed in her eyes, spilling over and cascading down her cheeks in a silent testament to the depth of her feelings. The modest abode stood before her like a living, breathing memoir of the simple life they'd led. It was a typical house, its every nook and cranny bearing the marks of a simple and hard - working existence. "Father, why did you have to endure such a life? This is worlds apart from the life you were accustomed to," Bella choked out between sobs, her eyes flitting around the room, desperate to absorb every little detail. Bienley, wearing a tender smile, drew his mother closer to him in a warm embrace. "I had the most wonderful childhood right here, mother. The simplicity of our life never felt like a burden. In fact, it was a blessing. Father raised me with an abundance of love, and that was far more valuable than any material
Bienley's grand introduction as the sole heir to the Vanderpool - Guillebeaux empire was nothing short of astonishing. The moment the news broke, it sent shockwaves rippling through the crowd, igniting a wild frenzy."What?""How could this be?""I'd been expecting an heiress, especially with rumors flying that the heir had inherited Madame Bella's stunning beauty.""He's undeniably gorgeous, a perfect male mirror image of Madame Bella Vanderpool.""So, the heir is a man, not a woman?""And he's in a relationship with CEO Devon Dalton, no less."A tidal wave of diverse speculations crashed over the guests as they stared intently at the stage. There, Dr. Bienley Cullen was being tenderly embraced and kissed by CEO Bella Vanderpool. In return, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist with equal affection, their gestures speaking volumes.The simple yet intimate interactions between the rumored heir and his renowned mother seemed to confirm their relationship beyond a shadow of a dou
Carlisle stood with an unreadable expression, his eyes fixed on the seething guests. Their angry mutters filled the air, a chaotic symphony of indignation. "These people have no sense of decorum. All they want is a free meal and a chance to guzzle our drinks," one guest hissed."They need to be put in their place!" another chimed in, her face red with anger."If we don't toss them out, this whole event will be a disaster," a third added, their voice shrill with panic.The enraged guests turned their venomous glares on Bienley. But the young doctor remained unperturbed, meeting their scornful looks with a calm, unwavering gaze. Carlisle took a step forward, his presence commanding. He raised his hand, and the room fell silent, save for the occasional indignant huff. "Ladies and gentlemen, you were invited here for a purpose. Don't squander this opportunity by causing a scene. Keep to yourselves," he said, his voice firm and authoritative. The guests, though reluctant, clamped their
The opulent grand ballroom of Guillebeaux Hotel and Casino blazed with a dazzling radiance. Above, crystal chandeliers shimmered like constellations, their warm, golden glow cascading over the exquisitely attired guests. Waiters glided through the throng, their trays laden with flutes of bubbling champagne and bite-sized, mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres that seemed like edible works of art."Word on the street is that Madame Bella Vanderpool is set to unveil her heir to the world tonight," a clique of affluent women, swathed in designer gowns and dripping with diamond jewelry, tittered among themselves. Their laughter was like the delicate tinkling of fine crystal."Rumor has it that her heir has inherited her ageless allure," one of the women leaned in, her voice a conspiratorial whisper, eyes alight with intrigue."She has a daughter? How on earth has this been kept under wraps?" A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through their tight-knit circle."That's the mystery that has ev
Bienley stared deeply into Bella's teary eyes, where a river of tears cascaded down her cheeks. Her words of unwavering assurance, coupled with the raw pain of anguish that reflects in her gaze, finally unearthed the truth he'd been starved of for far too long."Mama will never, ever abandon you, my precious little Prince. You are the very breath of Mama's life. That faint, flickering hope deep in my heart, the one that whispered someday I'd find you, kept me going, kept me alive through the darkest of days." She traced his face with a yearning touch, as if trying to engrave every contour, every freckle into her memory.Bienley closed his eyes, surrendering to the delicate, feather - light touch of her soft hands. In that moment, this tenuous connection felt like a salve to his broken, battered soul, mending the cracks that had formed over so many lonely years."Mama," Bienley choked out, launching himself into her embrace. His arms wound tightly around her slender waist, and he nest
"Oh my god, Lander!" Bella gasped, the sound tearing from her throat. And then, she was overtaken by another bout of heart-rending sobs. The pain that had been pent up for so long was now erupting in a flood of emotions."Bienley? Are you certain?" Señor Quintana, usually the picture of composure, asked in a voice that betrayed a slight tremor. His once-dull, aged eyes now reflected a tenderness that was rarely seen, as if a long-buried emotion had been unearthed."Yes, grandpa. He looks just like my father. Even though the photo was taken when he was quite young, I could never mistake him for anyone else," Bienley said, trying his best to convince them despite the confusion swirling within him. His words were a mixture of certainty and bewilderment."Oh, god," Damon Quintana looked at his wife, whose expression mirrored his own surprise. The old man closed his eyes tightly, as if in deep, silent prayer. He rubbed his face with both hands, looking utterly tormented, as if the weigh
"Love, I'm right here. Just relax. As long as I'm by your side, no one can harm you," Devon murmured softly into Bienley's ear, sensing the turmoil within him. "I'm so scared," Bienley whispered tremulously, his trembling hands clutching Devon's. Bienley felt a strange numbness wash over him. His head started to pound as he grappled to make sense of the bewildering situation. A storm of conflicting thoughts whirled through his muddled mind, and he had the unsettling sensation of being adrift in a sea of overpowering emotions, with no clear destination in sight."I'm here with you. Whatever this is, we'll face it together," Devon said, drawing Bienley closer and enfolding him in a warm, reassuring embrace.Bienley was secretly glad that he'd allowed Devon to come along when the latter had insisted. Right now, Devon's possessive nature seemed like a blessing.They were then led into a vast room, huddling close to one another as they followed in silence. As they stepped inside, they
