“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.” “Really?” She couldn’t believe it; she knew Alexander would definitely not let that happen. She became even more eager to know what happened and why the young man had let go of Tibor. “Well, I also heard that Tibor was replaced by someone younger.” Jacob continued. “I’m leaving!” Rose suddenly stood up and left her friend. “Hey, you haven’t payed for our meals!” Jacob protested. “I already gave you the money, so take care of it.” Rose smiled at Jacob, then she left in a hurry. Jacob stomped his feet in annoyance. He got tricked again. He ordered a lot, so there would be little left of the money that she gave. Rose quickly went to the hospital where Alexander was confined. She had the guts to go since Tibor would no longer be there to block her from getting close to the young man. She asked Laurenzo, and he agreed, but whether she’d be let in was not up to either of them. Dante and Troy quickly guarded against Rose to prevent her from entering. “I just want to visit Alexander, so give way to me!” “I’m sorry, Madame, but we have to ask the Young Master first if we shall let you enter.” Troy was polite despite the woman’s aggressiveness. “How dare you! Don’t you recognize me?” Rose was annoyed; whe thought the guards wouldn’t be as strict now. “What’s all the ruckus about?” Dylan asked when he opened the door. “And who are you?” The woman did not shy away from showing her hostility as she looked at the well-built man. Dylan carefully observed the woman’s face. Even though this was their first encounter, he already had an idea of who she was. “What business did you come here for?” “Huh, who is this ignorant man to not know who I am?” Rose asked Dante in disbelief. Alexander was woken up by the noises outside his room. He already knew who the woman was just by hearing her voice. “He is Mr. Tibor’s replacement,” Dante answered politely. Rose stared intently at the man. She couldn’t believe that Laurenzo let someone like him become Alexander’s main guard. These events had become a puzzle to her. “Let her in.” Rose was even more surprised when she heard her boyfriend’s arrogant son. What was up with him to allow her? The man named Dylan still followed her inside. She didn’t like being watched by him like he was judging her whole person. “Alex, I heard that a nurse attempted to harm you, are you okay?” “Don’t touch me.” Alexander shooed Rose when she tried to lay a hand on him. “Now that you’ve seen me alive, you can leave.” Rose slowly retracted her hand and smiled sadly. “Alex, you know that I think of you as my own son. I heard that Tibor has left, so please let me take care of you.” “Ask my dad.” Rose’s eyes widened slightly due to his answer. She wasn’t used to the calm demeanor he was using to treat her right now. He was even smiling, but it just made her feel apprehensive.“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
When Dylan turned around, he caught Alexander looking at him. “Do you have anything else for me to do?”“Are you seriously going to sleep here?”“Do I have any other choice?” Dylan replied nonchalantly.“You don’t have to keep me company. Don’t worry, Daddy won’t find out.”He ignored Alexander’s proposal, and instead asked him: “Order another blanket and a mattress that I can lay here on the floor.”“No, I don’t have the money to—”“I will pay.” Dylan cut off his excuse.“I don’t want to! There’s not enough space!” Alexander refused. There wasn’t anywhere for Dylan to sleep on; there was only a small sofa in the room aside from the single-sized bed.Dylan thrusted his hands in his pockets, then looked at Alexander’s bed. “If you want to sleep together, don’t make any more excuses.” He remarked mockingly.“Jerk, I don’t like your type of guy!”Dylan grinned as he slowly approached Alexander. He placed both his hands on the bed and crouched down close to his master’s face.Alexander be
Dylan kept his eyes closed, even though he was already awake. He felt around when he sensed something strange. He was sure that he didn’t have an extra pillow to hug. He also knew that his bed was not supposed to be this soft. He immediately opened his eyes when the thing he was hugging moved.“Holy shit, why am I here?” He exclaimed when he saw Alexander by his side. The person lying next to him got woken up; he was obviously not pleased to see his face first thing in the morning.“I’m the one who should ask you that, why are you here? Dude, you’re even hugging me!” Alexander snarled at Dylan.Dylan quickly removed his hand that was wrapped around Alexander’s waist. As well as his leg that was resting comfortably on the man’s thigh.“Ouch!” Alexander groaned as he touched his abdomen where his would was. Even though it had healed, it still hurt when accidentally hit.Dylan pulled out his own hair before quickly attending to Alexander. He lifted his clothes to see the wound.“Darn, le
Dylan immediately pocketed his cell phone and turned to face Alexander. “Do you know someone wants to sabotage your father’s business?”“When did he ever lack enemy?” he replied sarcastically to Dylan.“Didn’t you think that he might be one of the reasons for your mother’s death?”“Don’t screw with my head because I will never handle that old man’s business!”“I’m just stating the possibility that it might help you to find your mother’s killer.”Alexander stared intently at the young man. He knew that he was talking to his father earlier, so he did not trust him.“How can you act to find that person if you have no money?”He looked sharply at Dylan; he was just thinking about the same thing earlier. He had applied online for other jobs, but none had accepted him, not even acquaintances. He knew his father had something to do with why he couldn’t find a decent job.“In your father’s company, you are free to do what you want. You hate him, don’t you? Why don’t you use this opportunity t
“HEY, I don’t want to go home yet!” Alexander struggled with Dylan’s tight grip on his arm.Dylan did not listen to the young man’s complaint. The people they passed by would glance at them because Alexander was making a fuss. He looked like a father who was dragging his stupid son home.“They are so cute!”Dylan heard from a stranger they passed by.“Yes, they are suitable. I wonder which of them is the top?”Dylan stopped pulling Alexander’s arm when a woman answered the first stranger.“I think the one being dragged is the top.” The woman answered her companion.Dylan looked at Alexander’s face with furrowed brows. He wondered why the woman said that this man was the top?“Hey, he’s mine and—” Alexander couldn’t finish what else he wanted to say to those curious persons when Dylan suddenly lifted him up.The mouths of the two women were both agape as they watched the scene. “I think you guessed wrong,” said the second woman.Dylan was happy to hear that; he felt smug. He lifted Ale
“Argh, you’re so f*cking hot!” Alexander moaned when he felt Dylan’s sturdy chest. His other hand pressed intimately on his seductive lips.As if cold water forced Dylan awake when his member spontaneously reacted to Alexander’s husky voice. He suddenly came to his senses and thought that what he was doing was wrong. He used to be unafraid of everything, but this time he was afraid of the new experience that the young man was making him feel.Alexander quickly changed his position when Dylan tried to get away from him. “Where do you think you’re going?”“Damn, Alex, let me go!” He snarled despite his lack of strength when the man changed their positions.“No, baby, you’re mine tonight and you can do nothing about it.” A mischievous smile appeared on his lips and he swiftly caressed the young man’s chest to calm him down. Just like women’s, he also knew men’s weakness when it came to temptation.His chest heaved with the loud beat of his heart. Bits of electricity from Alexander’s war
“Mr. Carnival, Mr. Racar is here.”Conrad glanced at his assistant before taking another puff of his tobacco. “Have you seen my wife?”“She’s coming back here from her brother’s office, Sir.” Lendon answered the gentleman.“Don’t let her come in until I finish talking with Mr. Racar.”“As you wish, Sir.” Lendon bowed his head, then turned to leave the office.Conrad leaned back against the back of his chair and waited for his best friend to enter. He was one of the members of their organization with a high position and a large investment in their business. Back when Laurenzo was still the leader, the two always clashed and were never on good terms. Their feud only stopped when his brother-in-law left the organization.“Long time no see,” said Conrad when his friend entered. He stood up to greet him properly.“You didn’t tell me you were coming back.” Racar greeted Conrad while shaking hands.“I haven’t been away from this country for long, so I still know the way back here.” He joking
Dylan sighed. “At first, I was angry and jealous. Because you don’t see Lily taking advantage of your weakness in me.”“I’m really sorry; I have already decided that we will not hire her to be the mother of our child.”Dylan smiled and kissed his wife on the forehead. “Are you sure?”Alexander nodded with a smile. “But Lily is missing.”“Since when?” Dylan asked in shock.“It was before noon, boss. She was gone before I read Troy’s message,” Dante answered.“Looks like they did move, and they got Lily thinking she was Sir Alexander’s wife,” said Troy.“What do you mean?” Alexander asked.“We are now holding Raffy’s cousin. Their plan is to kill the new leader of the organization, and what they know is that the person they found is your husband,” Troy explained.Alexander grabbed his neck; he didn’t think that the impending danger to his husband was bigger. “Babe, even if you don’t like Lily, we still have to save her. It’s my fault why the syndicate is holding her now.”Dylan took a d
The anger that Alexander felt towards his husband immediately disappeared when he opened his eyes and smiled at him. “What are you doing to yourself? Look at you now; we haven’t slept next to each other for only two nights, and you look like a zombie!”Dylan smiled even more and spread his hands to hug his wife. “Come on, give me a hug.”Alexander glared at his husband and wanted to show that he was angry. But he doesn’t put down his hands that were outstretched even a few minutes has passed.“Baby, I’m tired,” Dylan said with tenderness.Alexander sighed and seemed forced to give in to his husband. “I don’t want to see you tired and lacking sleep because of work.”“But by making you happy, it’s okay to make me tired?” Dylan asked his wife teasingly.Alexander responded with a soft blow to his husband’s chest and forced himself not to hug him back. But he really couldn’t stand him for long, especially when he kissed his neck. “I thought you were tired and had no sleep.”“Let me charge
“One of their sources got information that the traitor in the organization entered the company,” Dante explained.“What? How did that thing happen?” Alexander quickly called his husband, but no one answered. When he called Troy, he also seemed to be in a hurry.“Sir, your husband advised that you must not leave the office for now and pick you up later. I have to hang up, and I’ll go after Boss Dylan.”Alexander was nervous and worried for his husband. But he followed Dante, and he wanted to find out where Lily was. “I can’t contact her,” he told Dante.Dante thought for a moment and remembered where Lily could have gone. He also called the woman’s mother, and her answer was that Lily was not at home. “If she ate out, who was she with, and why hasn’t she come back yet?” Dante exclaimed.“Check the surveillance cameras,” Alexander ordered Dante.Dante immediately obeyed and called the security in the storage room.At the office, Raffy grinned when he heard that the CCTV footage was bein
“Excuse me, why did we come here?” Lily asked as they stopped at what looked like an abandoned place instead of a fancy restaurant.“Get down, Miss, and don’t ask too many questions,” the driver ordered the woman in an unfriendly, angry way.Suddenly, Lily’s chest bumped with nervousness. She had a bad hunch about what was going on right now. She quickly got out of the car and ran away, but a car blocked her way.“Where are you going?” Raffy asked, smiling, after getting out of his car.Lily quickly approached the young man, and the nervousness she felt somehow lessened. “Because your driver is scaring me. If you’re not here, I’m really going to run away!”Instead of answering the woman, he nodded at the person following Lily. “Bring her inside.”Lily got nervous again when she heard Raffy’s order, and then there were men who held her hands. “W-what does that mean?”“It’s simple; I need you against Alexander,” Raffy replied with a smile to the woman.Lily’s eyes widened, and she strug
Raffy smiled when he heard the news from an employee. He couldn’t believe a woman was the new head of the organization today. He needs to plan the abduction on her so that he can get her out of their way and get revenge on Alexander.Everything must be clean before the goods arrive. He thought it was a good idea, and it would make both sides even more confused. Alexander certainly couldn’t focus on the company, and it was only right that the drugs would come. At the same time, the weapon that was illegally imported by the organization will arrive. The father’s plan is to sabotage it so that it goes to them. The weapons are worth millions and should go to them.Troy quickly contacted Dylan when he heard that a secret meeting was going to take place among the traitors he already knew.“Make a way to find out what the agenda of their meeting is,” Dylan ordered Troy.“Yes, boss. I had to follow one of the people today and will abduct him after their meeting.”“Very good, call me right awa
Raffy had just finished taking a shower when someone knocked on the door. He quickly put on his bathrobe before opening the door. “Dad?”Rudy pushed his son into his pad and followed him. “Your cousin is missing, and you were the only one with him last night.”“Yes? How did he disappear? Are you sure? We were both drunk last night, so maybe he just slept somewhere.” Raffy tried to calm down.“Stupid, you’re not careful! I already told you that you can’t be together in public places!” Rudy yelled at his son and hurriedly looked for the thing, which he entrusted to his son.Raffy nervously followed his father and was also worried. He knew what he was looking for. When he finds out that he took someone with him to the pad last night, he will definitely beat him up.Rudy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the small book. He was still very worried. He flipped it quickly to check it, and maybe later there was a page missing.Raffy was gasping for air and felt like something heavy had blo
Dylan quickly avoided the man’s lips. His lips hit her cheek, and she just let it be. When his kiss fell on his neck, he counted one to ten in his mind. If he still didn’t stop perverting him, he was going to break his balls.He let out air from his mouth when Raffy loosened his embrace and stopped kissing his neck. He quickly took wet wipes and wiped the skin where the man’s dirty lips had touched. He didn’t waste a moment; he ransacked his house and looked for an important thing. He has to get the blue book.“Gotcha!” Dylan whispered while holding a book that was just the right size. He was right in suspecting that Raffy had an important staff that he was hiding. He quickly took a picture of what was written in the book and returned it to where it was hidden. They cannot yet know that the enemy has entered. Now he knows the names of the people in the organization.After getting in the car, Dylan called Troy. “Did you do it?”“Yes, boss.” Troy gives the address where he took David.A
“Who called you?” Raffy asked his cousin when he saw that he had put down his cellphone.“Your father. He reminded us that we need to meet the chairman’s heir,” David answered before lighting a cigarette.Dylan poured wine into his glass again and pretended not to be interested in what the two were talking about.“That’s your job and not mine. That’s why you’re in the organization now to meet him.” Raffy even patted his cousin on the shoulder, irritated.“Asshole, we’re team on this!” David replied, stuttered, and patted Raffy’s shoulder in return.“Tsssk, that arrogant man is the one I want to get ahead of, so you do that job alone first.” Raffy hiccups after his cousin scolded him.Dylan’s eyebrows rose, and he became more interested in the topic of the two.“Stupid! You think you can outsmart that idiot? He learned from what you did before.”“Idiot, I know what I’m doing! Before I bring down their company, I’ll break his heart first!” Raffy also whined at his cousin.“Hey, are you
“Who’s calling?” Alexander asked his husband when he didn’t answer the call.Dylan looked at his wife before pocketing the cell phone. “Just one of my clients. I forgot that I have work to finish tonight.”Alexander immediately felt disappointed when he heard what his husband said.“Dante will take you home, and don’t wait for me at dinner.”Alexander was even more disappointed because today is their special day, but his husband still thought about work, and it seems that it is his priority now.“Baby, this is very important, and I don’t have to miss it,” Dylan explained when he noticed his wife’s silence as they walked down the hallway.“Okay,” Alexander answered as if having no appetite.Dylan pulled his wife by the hand and stopped him from walking to face him. “Please, don’t be angry.” His tone was more of asking for understanding than of begging.Alexander just sighed and met the pleasing eyes of his husband. “Alright, take care and call me later.”“Thank you, baby!” Dylan quickl
