“Sir, are you calling me?” Dante asked as he entered.Alexander looked at Dante’s food, and it was still on the plate. “Why didn’t you finish your meal before coming here?” He suddenly felt guilty and interrupted his friend’s meal.“My job and your safety are more important than food, sir,” Dante answered honestly.Lily flinched because of the man’s flowery mouth. When she looked at Alexander, she was even more annoyed, and the man seemed to have suddenly forgotten about the reason why he called Dante.Dante first put the food on the table and looked at Lily. “Have you finished eating?”Lily tried to smile at the man, and she knew that his kindness to her was fake, just like hers to him. “I was worried about Alexander since he didn’t go out to have lunch, so I brought him foods.”“Maybe you’re still hungry; I can tell Boss Dylan to add the food he brings here.” Dante wanted to laugh when he noticed the look of surprise on Lily’s face when he mentioned Dylan.“What do you mean?” Alexan
“Young Master, your father has arrived.”Alexander wrinkled his straight and narrow nose at the news. He hated him and everyone around his father. He wanted to get up from the bed so he wouldn’t have to meet him, but he couldn’t due to his injuries.“Young Master, please don’t try to move; your wound will only bleed more.” Tibor begged the young man. Even though he was seriously wounded by his enemy, he still had the strength to get up.“Tch, you’re worthless!” Alexander almost threw something at Tibor to vent his anger.“I’m sorry, Young Master!” Tibor bowed his head and was ready to kneel in front of Alexander to forgive him.Tibor knew that the last thing his master would want was for his father to see him in such a state. He was forever stuck with the prideful father-and-son who both didn’t want to lose to each other. It was as if they want to kill each other whenever they were in the same room. However, despite of that, one couldn’t ignore the other in rare situations such as the
ALEXANDER WOKE up from a bad dream last night. He felt mad again because he couldn’t get up to get something to drink. Another thing that made him angry was that Tibor had not returned since yesterday. His father was the one watching over him the morning he woke up. He didn’t want to talk to him, so he had no way of knowing where Tibor was.Alexander clenched his right fist as he remembered his dream. He quickly pressed the red button on his side to call his guard. Two of them eagerly went in and both their faces were expressing concern.“Is Tibor not back yet?”The two guards looked at each other and couldn’t open their mouths so Alexander got even more bad-tempered.“Are you going to talk or do you want me to blow your heads off?!” He yelled at them.The two broke in cold sweats as they glanced at the gun that was next to Alexander. They knew the young man, his anger was always worse than his father’s.“Please don’t, Young Master! I’m deeply sorry, but your father strictly ordered n
LAURENZO SMILED almost imperceptibly as he watched Dylan. He made the right decision. Only that man could match his son.“Young Master, please forgive Dylan’s rudeness.”“Who did this to you?” Alexander asked instead.“I’m sorry, Young Master, I acted without your consent. Maybe I’m too old for this job and I can’t protect you anymore.” Tibor said, his face remorseful.“Don’t say that, only a buffalo gets old! And even though you are already weak, no one else can take your place. I can handle myself and I don’t need your strength to—”“Do you not see yourself to be saying that you don’t need a strong person to watch over you anymore?” Laurenzo said sarcastically.“It’s none of your business!” He snarled at his father.“I’m still your father. Besides, if your mother was still alive, she wouldn’t want someone like Tibor looking after you now. You know your safety is important to her.”“Mommy’s not like that! She entrusted me to Tibor, she wouldn’t like anyone else to look after me!”“Th
“ARE YOU okay now?” Alexander asked Tibor when he opened his eyes.Tibor smiled at the young man; he was already saddened that he couldn’t accompany him all the time from now on.“You should be resting; all your wounds haven’t healed yet.” He was not happy with Tibor’s current state. He was still in the hospital because his wound had developed an infection.“How are you? I heard you had a fever last night.”He nodded, then closed his eyes. He didn’t know who took care of him. He could only recall that someone bothered to wipe his body. He was certain it wasn’t a doctor or a nurse. His fever was so high that he couldn’t even manage to open his eyes last night.“Young Master, please take care of yourself. From this day on, I won’t be able to take care of you, so please don’t be stubborn.”Alexander opened his eyes, glaring daggers at Tibor. “You don’t have to protect me because I can take care of myself. But you can’t leave; no one else can take your place!”“I’m sorry, Young Master, bu
“HAVE YOU heard the news?”Rose raised her eyebrow at her gay friend. “If it’s something bad, then don’t tell me.” “Are you sure you don’t want to hear it? It’s about the son of the man you want to marry.” Jacob gracefully sat across his ambitious friend.Rose straightened her posture; she was suddenly interested. She and Laurenzo were frequently together, but he seldom talked about his son. She only knew that Alexander was hospitalized, she had no other information about his condition. Her boyfriend never allowed her to visit his son either because the young man didn’t like her. The gay fellow stretched out his palm to Rose, his left eyebrow arching.Rose reluctantly grabbed her purse and scooped up thousand dollars in exchange for his gossip. Jacob smiled widely as he counted five thousand dollars. “Well,” he began as he put the money in his own bag. “I just found out that Tibor had resigned from his job, so there will certainly be more villains seeking to harm your stepson.”“R
“If you can convince my Dad to remove this man from his position, you can take care of me.”Rose looked at the man that Alexander was pointing at. He was watching them with a poker face. It seemed like he was used to Alex’s bad attitude, and that he wasn’t scared or even recognized him as his master. “I will talk to your Dad if you don’t like this man. Honestly, I also don’t like him.”Dylan just shook his head when Alexander smiled. He could be childish sometimes. He glanced at the clock before stepping toward the woman. “Your visiting minutes are up, please leave.”Alexander’s grin widened as Rose’s eyes became round. “What? I’ve been here for mere ten minutes!”“Would you prefer to leave by yourself or be dragged outside?” Dylan didn’t sound like he was joking.Rose turned to Alex to ask for support, but he just smiled and shrugged. She understood why she was given a chance to talk to him; it even seemed as if they were on good terms. But she didn’t expect that Tibor’s replacement
A FEW days passed and Alexander was about to be discharged from the hospital. He didn’t want to stay in their house and that angered his father.“From today on, you have to work for the company and earn your own money. I’m also taking back your condominium. Now, if you don’t want to go home, then find somewhere else to sleep!” Laurenzo said harshly to his son.“Damn you!” Alexander yelled at his father through his gritted teeth.Dylan shook his head to express his disapproval of Alexander’s disrespect for his father.“Thank you!” Laurenzo smiled mockingly. “Now, it’s up to you where you go home. I’m not such a bad father, so I left fifty thousand on your credit card. And the car is only for Dylan to drive. When I find out you left without Dylan, you can expect what I’ll do next.”Alexander cursed frustratedly a few more times. He would seriously do anything to pressure him to comply with his wishes. His father had left, but he hadn’t decided where to live yet.“Shall I find you a plac
“Sir, are you calling me?” Dante asked as he entered.Alexander looked at Dante’s food, and it was still on the plate. “Why didn’t you finish your meal before coming here?” He suddenly felt guilty and interrupted his friend’s meal.“My job and your safety are more important than food, sir,” Dante answered honestly.Lily flinched because of the man’s flowery mouth. When she looked at Alexander, she was even more annoyed, and the man seemed to have suddenly forgotten about the reason why he called Dante.Dante first put the food on the table and looked at Lily. “Have you finished eating?”Lily tried to smile at the man, and she knew that his kindness to her was fake, just like hers to him. “I was worried about Alexander since he didn’t go out to have lunch, so I brought him foods.”“Maybe you’re still hungry; I can tell Boss Dylan to add the food he brings here.” Dante wanted to laugh when he noticed the look of surprise on Lily’s face when he mentioned Dylan.“What do you mean?” Alexan
“Alex, I brought you lunch.” Lily put the lunch box on the table of the man, who was still busy reading the documents.Alexander sighed and tried to calm down. He knew that Lily was just being kind, but what he hated the most was being forced to do something he didn’t want to. He had told her earlier not to bother him or force him to eat because he had no appetite. But the woman still insisted on bringing food, which annoyed him.“Alex, I know you don’t want someone’s naughty. But don’t neglect yourself. Remember that you must be healthy before the sperm will be taken from you that will be injected into me.”Alexander sighed again and closed his eyes. “Just leave it there,” he replied coldly at the girl.“Alex, you shouldn’t be worrying about Dylan, and he went far away for work.”“What?” Alexander asked, as if he were deafened. “Where is my husband?” He’s even more angry.“Sorry, I thought you knew where he went,” Lily added worriedly. “I just heard last night while he and Dante were
Lily was stunned by Dante’s sudden question. She looked at her foot before looking at Dante, and her foot was already red because she walked hastily, only to chase Alexander. She was supposed to become rude and mean to Dante, but Alexander was already in front of them.“Let’s go.” Alexander called Lily impatiently and wanted to get on the elevator.Dante almost burst out laughing when Lily hurried over to Alexander. The girl’s like a penguin that has difficulty walking. He quickly suppressed the smile on his lips when Alexander looked at him. He was late getting into the elevator, and it was he who pressed the button where his boss’s office was.Lily quickly clung to Alexander’s arm as the elevator door opened. The man didn’t react because he knew they had to do it. When they got out of the elevator, the eyes of the employees were focused on them. She smiled at them and greeted them back.“Oh my gosh, my day is complete again, and I saw the cute couple!” Jessa said, thrilled.“Ms. Lil
Dante pulled out his gun faster than Raffy’s man when their two bosses tried to fight. Dante pointed the gun he was holding at Raffy’s assistant before he could point the weapon at Alexander.Lily quickly hid behind Alexander and was afraid that the bullet might hit her. She didn’t want to admit it, but she was impressed by Dante’s speed.Alexander grinned and spread his hands in front of Raffy. “Did you see that? Even in terms of staff, mine is faster, and he knows who he’s going to knock out first!”Raffy’s jaw clenched, and he was gritting his teeth out of annoyance. He glared at his staff for being slow. He was even more angry when he saw that his hands were raised, which meant that he was surrendering because the enemy’s gun was pointed at him. “Put your gun down and get lost!”The man bent down and quickly put the gun back in his side and stepped back.Dante followed the man with a smile. He lowered his hand holding the gun but did not return it to the holder. “Back off!” He ste
Alexander sighed when he woke up and his husband was no longer by his side. It seems he left early and didn’t tell him. He lazily got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.In the dining room, Lily patiently waited for Alexander. She was happy, and Dylan left early. She will be alone with Alexander again at the dinning table.“Good morning, hijo.”Lily hastily adjusted her seat when she heard her mother’s greetings to Alexander.“Lily is waiting for you at the dining table.” Belen continued to smile as she greeted the man.“Come and eat with us,” Alexander said to his nanny.“Oh no, hijo, we’re done eating. You know, before starting work, the stomach has to be full.”Alexander smiled understandingly at the lady. Their maids actually eat earlier because of their work at home. When he entered the dining room, Lily was already there, smiling at him.“Good morning. How was your sleep?” Lily jokingly greeted the young man.“Good.” He gave a short answer to the girl, then looked at t
“Oh, it’s you, hijo. Is there something you want me to cook for you?” Belen asked the young man.“I’ll cook Alexander’s food.”“But I’ve started the—”“Just leave it and I will continue.” He politely interrupted what the lady wanted to say.Belen hesitantly let go of the washed meat. She was also forced to leave, and she knew Dylan didn’t want anyone else in the kitchen when he was cooking.When Alexander came to the living room, he saw Lily. It was obvious that she was forced to smile at him and greet him. “Did you just arrive?” He commented because she was still dressed in office attire. “I had to choose a car to ride in, and I’m afraid to ride when the taxi driver is a man.” Lily even stroked her leg and pretended to be tired from standing for so long.Alexander suddenly felt a sense of guilt when he thought the girl had a phobia of taking taxis. “I’m sorry I didn’t wait for you earlier. Dante must have forgotten to call the driver to fetch you.”Lily was lost in thought; Dante mu
“Enough! Don’t entertain her anymore, or it might reach the young master, and you’ll be the one who comes out bad,” Troy whispered to his friend.Dante went down the stairs without saying a word. Lily entered her room. He knew his friend had followed him, so he rushed to the garden.“What really happened earlier in the office?” Troy asked, making sure no one could hear he and his friend’s conversation.“Lily is good at manipulating minds and situations when she’s alone with the young master. And I’m already worried because it seems like something is going on that we don’t know about. I see that young master is just letting those in the office think that he and Lily have something to do with each other.”Troy took a deep breath and thought. He asked himself what really happened or why it happened. There is no doubt that Alexander loves Dylan enough to fool him or cheat on him. It is even afraid of losing Dylan in his life. If it were only a girl, Dylan might have been hiding in joy. He
“Babe, if you let yourself die at the hands of your enemies, I will follow you to hell and burn you there!” He angrily threatened his husband when he read in his eyes that he had no intention of following his request.Instead of answering his wife’s anger, Dylan pulled him by the neck and pressed a kiss on his lips.“Uhmm...” He wanted to refuse Dylan’s kiss because they hadn’t finished talking yet, but the cry of his heart and his husband’s need was more powerful.What should have been just a simple kiss to his wife turned into lust and became demanding. Dylan can’t really stop himself when he tastes his wife’s lips and their bodies touching. He quickly turned his body, and they switched places. He was on top as their lips remained pressed together. It was as if there was music accompanying every movement of his lips.He moaned in pleasure at Dylan’s hot and demanding kiss. His kiss is addictive and intoxicating; it seems hungry and eager. “Uhmm, babe, I haven’t showered yet.” He sto
“Which hospital was my husband taken to?” Alexander asked Dante as he hurried out of the elevator. “He’s at home, sir.” Alexander suddenly stopped walking and turned angrily to Dante. “What? Why wasn’t he taken to the hospital? What if my husband is having trouble breathing? I can kill that Troy!” Dante scratched and almost ran to keep up with his boss. “Sir, your husband is not injured, but the car is heavily damaged.” Alexander still did not calm down and worried about his husband. Only then will he believe he’s okay when he sees him. After entering the car, he immediately ordered Dante. “Drive!” “Shouldn’t we wait for Ms. Lily?” Dante asked his boss in a tone of concern for the woman. Alexander was stunned for a moment and forgot about the girl. “Just call her later and tell her to take a taxi home. I can’t wait for her, and I have to see my husband. Dante secretly smiled and immediately started the car. It was only right that they had already turned out of the parking
