Ace gaped at Blaze while trying to understand what he just meant but Blaze seemed to have no plans to explain. They are only interrupted when Paul spoke again.
"I need your cooperation so we could exit the campus without being followed" Paul seriously said while he looked at Ace before he alternately looked at his friends.
Ace nodded for Paul to go on, whatever Paul's role in this, he seemed to be in control at of the moment.
"Our men are silently securing the east wing exit where we will go out quietly. The black panther will exit at the west wing so put all your men there for diversion" Paul looked directly at Ace who was also intently staring and listening to him.
Ace turned to Lam
"It's not in our intention to insult your family, Mr. Anderson, the car was given in good faith and whatever the car cost doesn't matter as long as it served its purpose to the owner. We just deemed that the car would be safer for Ace to drive when going to school" Lander tried to convince the triggered man. "Mr. Vaughn, we don't have millions to buy luxury in life, I taught my three children to strive and work harder if they want something luxurious in their lives because we cannot afford it as parents. I'm so sure that you already know even the smallest details about our family. So I assumed that you are all aware that even the bike that Ace has now is from his pocket, I can only afford the food that he eats, the bed that he slept in, and the university. Nothing more than that, so owning a million-dollar car would really create an uproar for everyone. It brought my family to a shame
Blaze continued to stare at Ace with his cold gaze while Ace is staring back with his cautious one. Silence ruled the whole house when Blaze remained so quiet with his cold gaze that even Ace's parents became speechless from the coldness that the pale boy was exuding. "I won't use the bike again..." Ace mumbled softly while he continued to stare at Blaze who was still staring coldly at him. "Ahm...you were sick Ace? When?" Maridel broke the silence and the staring battle of her son to the pale boy. She can sense something between her son and the youngest Vaughn but she can't just assume. "I had a fever just this weeke
"Blaze..." Ace seemed to have awakened as he scrambled on his feet to go after Blaze who was already outside the door. "Blaze please...please please no...." Ace ran and clung to Blaze's hand. As much as he wants to hug Blaze he is so afraid to touch him more than he can gamble to touch. Blaze just stopped walking and stared coldly at Ace who looked at him with frightened eyes. He no longer cared if he became vulnerable to Blaze's eyes, to everyone watching, but he needed to beg. "Blaze...please...please don't leave...let's talk" Ace softly begged but Blaze remained so quiet and coldly unconcerned. Their friends outside curiously gathered and watched the commotion. The four chipmunks a
Everyone is staring at Ace with their sympathetic and worried look while he is slumped on his knees behind Blaze who is still standing rigidly at the doorway Blaze started to walk with his bodyguards, Kit, and Paul, leaving Ace without even sparing him a glance. "I love you... I love you so much Blaze...even for this last time I can say it to you..." Ace smiled and muttered softly, tears streamed down his already wet cheeks. Blaze continued to walk slowly with his still unreadable and cold expression but everyone is so sure that he heard what Ace said. "I love you so much..." Ace continued with his bitter smile while he watched Blaze's back.
"Blaze...Ace will be a living dead without you. I'm a foolish father and I'm so ashamed to deserve him..." Fin smiled bitterly. "I'm asking for a chance Blaze, let's not make Ace choose, I made the wrong decision to have made him, please give this foolish man a chance" Fin's tears trickle down his face as he begged Blaze who remained so quiet. The prideful Fin Anderson is shedding tears for his son's love. "I... don't want him to turn his back on you, from his family. I don't want him to be a bad son and I don't plan to leave him, I'm just taking time to think of what I would do next. I can't give up Ace, but I can't fight you because I respect you so much" Blaze smiled warmly even if his eyes were already misty and red from the tears he was trying to suppress.
"Taking a break for fresh air? Really Blaze?" Breiy whispered while he glared at his youngest brother when he got the chance. Blaze just glared at Breiy before he returned to what he was reading on his phone. "The guy almost lost his mind, then you just planned to take a break to have some fresh air" Breiy exasperatedly confronted his brother. "Yes..." Blaze just shrugged which made his brother glared at him more. "At least you could have told him what you planned" Breiy continued while he became serious which made Blaze thoughtful. "I didn't e
"I am not...but I enjoy seeing his adorable face every time he is pissed. His eyes would almost snap out of its sockets when he would glare at me" Blaze amusedly mumbled and smiled at the three women. Maridel stared at the youngest heir who has a naughty smile on his face but she can see through him that he has so many plans for him and Ace. It made her heart warm for the pale boy. Everyone is aware of the fortune of the Vaughn family but Maridel and Fiona are still in awe while listening to their conversation. They are also so surprised that the youngest would take so much effort and time to give Ace what he needs. Maridel can imagine Ace's possible reaction if he knows what his boyfriend has planned for him. Ace would surely be uncomfortable and pis
Alexander Vaughn, the CEO of Vaughn Group of Companies has released an official statement about the ownership of the famous vehicle, black panther. He has also warned those who are spreading negative articles to stop or they will be dealt with personally by Vaughn. The statement does not divulge any private information about Ace's family to the public and they have not given any explanation as to why the family has given a student a very expensive car. Lander has stood firm that they have all the right to privacy and that their family deserved it. After the official statement was released, every issue about the owner of the black panther was never mentioned again. Ace has also moved out of his dorm with the consent of his parents and stayed wi
"Congratulations my Engineer Ace Daxton Anderson" Blaze announced as he started his message for Ace who just passed and even topped the licensure examination for engineers. VMI is holding the biggest celebration of the year for another great success of the newly released vehicle together with the anniversary of the company. The new car became the signature and a brand carrier vehicle of VMI which created another breakthrough for the company as the leading manufacturer and Ace has been part of the whole process. Ace and his team have also been reaping the success since their first project which was adopted by VMI and have even sold the rights of the technology to some other motor companies, giving Ace quite a fortune even before he became a licensed engineer. And today, VMI is celebrating not only the success of their new product and the company anniversary but also honoring
Two handsome and imposing guys entered the mall, causing subtle commotion around them. The tan guy is wearing a white signature T-shirt and tattered jeans, paired with white shoes. His only accessory is the leather watch around his wrist and of course the ring around his ring finger. The pale guy is wearing his usual white shirt and tan colored pants, white shoes, a white watch, and an identical ring. Eyes followed the two while they hopped from one store to another. "Good day sir, how can I help you? Size, sir?" the store attendant asked, staring at Ace's handsome face. "Medium of these, white" Ace told the attendant
Blaze took a step towards the bench until he stopped in front of the man who instantly bowed his head forlornly. "Why that look?" Blaze asked softly with his calm tone and Blaze waited for a response but he got none. The man remained so quiet with a bowed head on his seat. "What are you thinking?" Blaze continued with his already firm tone while the women from afar together with the other people in the hallway gaped at them in confusion. "Ahm...let's get back to your apartment" Ace mumbled softly when he could no longer endure Blaze's piercing eyes and the attention that they had started to earn. "My apartment?" Blaze scoffed and asked wi
Ace parked black panther at the vast parking lot and with sunglasses on his eyes, perfectly fit jeans, and a black t-shirt which exposed the tattoo on his arm and wrist. He casually walked straight to the huge building, unconcerned by the admiring and curious eyes that welcomed him. He arrived in the lobby and he was instantly welcomed by a warm smile from the two reception desk personnel. "Good day sir, what can we help you with?" the girl asked with her cute and sweet smile towards the handsome guy. "Good day, may I ask where the surgery department is?" Ace calmly asked while ignoring the women's obvious admiration. "It's on the second floor, sir. You will be visiting a patient sir?
Ace felt so exhausted from the whole day that he has been working nonstop at the factory and he can now clearly feel the exhaustion in every fiber of his muscles. He entered their apartment expecting it would still be empty since Blaze would often be late in getting off from his hospital duty. He abruptly paused after he closed the main door seeing Blaze in the kitchen. "Hey, you're early?" Ace exclaimed in disbelief and hurriedly went to Blaze who is fresh from the shower. "I got off from work early so we could also rest early" Blaze said after Ace pressed a gentle kiss on his lips. Blaze stared at Ace's tired face while he slowly caressed every contour with his fingertips.
Engineering interns including Ace and his friends were already assigned to the main plant to have their actual exposure in car assembling after they have undergone the procedure of design at the main office. The personnel in the main plant watched the entourage of handsome men while intently staring and inspecting every one of them. They are trying to figure out the famous intern who is a member of the Vaughn family. "Look at those imposing guys, they are so handsome" one of the younger employees whispered while watching the group. "Beware, one of them is the youngest Vaughn's boyfriend" the older woman snapped at the younger ones to remind them. "Who do you think he is from the group
"Blaze..." Ace whispered as he continued to gape in disbelief. "This is your gym, your man cave, and my mini library and study area. This is the whole second floor with your own space now" Blaze excitedly presented his surprise to Ace who continued to gape around. "Come on below" Blaze pulled Ace down the stairs and dragged him to the hallway and entered a huge room. "This is our master's bedroom with our huge walk-in closet and huge bathroom with a jacuzzi" Blaze continued to talk while they walked around the room to show Ace what he was talking about. "We already have three guest rooms, a huge kit
"Isn't it time to go home?" Blaze asked for the nth time while comfortably seated on the couch of the engineering department. He chose to wait for Ace to finish his work after the celebration of Breiy's birthday. The five interns rolled their eyes at the very persistent boy since he sat down on the couch like he was just at home. The engineers and the other personnel of the department are all cautious around the youngest Vaughn who chooses to stay in their office instead of his father or his brother. "Not yet, thirty minutes more..." Ace told him patiently. "It's only ten minutes passed?" Blaze incredulously exclaimed when he realized the last time he asked. Ace just chuckled at the cuteness of his boyfriend
Everyone was waiting for the woman to continue. The family was caught off guard and they remained speechless while staring at her. "I am Tess from the janitorial department, I used to work at the human resource department but I have done something unforgivable. That's why I'm here cleaning all the toilets in VMI" the woman continued with her timid tone while everyone was curiously listening to her. Those who knew her instantly became teary, especially her previous colleagues. "I used to accept bribes from the intern's parents to have extra money. I will serve a slot for interns for a specific amount even if they didn't qualify. I did it several times but unluckily I was caught...and believe me, I truly regretted it... but it's too late, I have already caused trouble to the company" Tess continued with her teary eyes w
