Chapter 6

last update Last Updated: 2023-02-05 22:51:35

Ambrose and Matthew changed into some linen clothes before going to the bonfire party that night. Matthew tried holding Ambrose's hand as they walk along the shore, but just like earlier, he walked in front of him. He could only sigh as he watched him. Matthew desperately tried to think of what he might've said or done that night, but he couldn't remember anything.

Matthew could only sigh as they reached the party. Ambrose didn't take long before he was socializing with people. Matthew tried getting in on the conversation but his mind was too preoccupied with the night before. He decided to just grab some drinks before going back to Ambrose and handing him one.

It didn't take long for the two to start dancing near the bonfire, their bodies tangled together as they dance to the beat. It's as if everything that happened last night was long forgotten. Matthew watched as the glow from the bonfire grazed Ambrose's face. He truly looked beautiful. Ambrose's eyes are closed as he enjoyed the music, his body moving along with the beat. Matthew's heart started to beat faster in his chest.

He stood in front of Ambrose, looking like a creep, watching him enjoy the night. Ambrose opened his eyes and walked closer to Matthew, wrapping his arms around Matthew's neck. Matthew's hands found their way to Ambrose's waist before he leaned down and captured his lips in a kiss. Ambrose froze and he was quickly snapped out of his drunken haze.

He pushed Matthew away from him, his heart beating like a hammer pounding against the wall. Matthew opened his mouth to apologize, but Ambrose pushed past him and made his way back to the beach house. Matthew didn't follow him and Ambrose felt a little disappointed when he saw that he was walking away alone.

He knew he was the one who pushed him away, but a part of him wished that Matthew would follow him. Matthew on the other hand decided to just give him some space. Matthew continued drinking as Ambrose was alone in the beach house. He decided to just get ready for bed and wait for Matthew to come back, but after a few hours, he still hasn't come back.

Ambrose was starting to get worried, so he decided to go back and look for him. Ambrose didn't see him among the crowd. Ambrose's worry start to deepen so he walked further down the beach and saw two figures against a tree. Ambrose walked closer and found Matthew leaning against the tree and a woman all over him.

It sparked something inside Ambrose. He felt an overwhelming amount of jealousy and anger that he's never felt before. Sure, he saw a lot of men and women flirt with Matthew after they were married, but it never bothered him until now. He wanted to rip that woman's throat out and punch Matthew in the face, but he decided to just leave.

As he was about to turn and leave, Ambrose noticed something wrong. Matthew's arms were limp beside him and he looked barely conscious. The alarms went off in Ambrose's brain and he quickly ran over to the two and pulled the woman away from Matthew. Matthew fell onto the ground and Ambrose cursed under his breath.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" the woman screamed at Ambrose's face.

He ignored him and went straight to Matthew, helping him up from the ground. Matthew could only groan in response.

"What the fuck did you give him?" Ambrose asked the enraged woman.

"I didn't give him anything! He's my boyfriend you dumb shit! I can do anything I want to him!" The woman exclaimed.

Ambrose wanted to strangle the woman right then and there, but he had to take care of Mathew first. The woman wouldn't stop screaming as Ambrose dragged Matthew away. Drool started to flow out of Matthew's mouth and Ambrose was getting even more worried. Two bouncers from the party approached them and the woman suddenly stopped screaming and tried to run away, but one of the bouncers caught her.

"Sir, do you need help?" The bouncer asked.

"Yes, please. Can you call an ambulance? I think my husband may have consumed something other than alcohol," AMrbose said.

The bouncer nodded and called an ambulance as he helped Ambrose sit Matthew down on the chair. Matthew was mumbling incoherent words with his eyes struggling to stay open. They tried getting him to drink water, but he would just spit them back out. The ambulance soon arrived with a police car behind him.

The paramedics went straight to Matthew and carried him into the ambulance. Ambrose followed them and he saw the woman protesting as the police escorted her into the car. Ambrose could barely process what was happening as the ambulance drove to the nearest hospital. He tried giving the medics as much information as he could about Matthew's state. Matthew was getting injected with a bunch of stuff, but AMbrsoe could barely keep up with them.

They reached the hospital and Ambrose was asked to stay in the lobby as they treat Matthew inside the emergency room. Ambrose dug his hand into his pocket to take out his phone in order to update their family about what happened, but then he quickly realized that he didn't bring his phone with him. Ambrose sighed in frustration and slumped across the chair. He glared at the clock on the wall, urging time to go faster, but every minute was more torturous than the last.

Ambrose was finally called by a doctor and he quickly went to Matthew's side. Matthew was asleep, but he seemed better than he did before.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Mariano. I treated Matthew today," Dr. Mariano said.

"I'm Ambrose," Ambrose replied.

"May I ask what your relationship is with the patient?" she asked.

"I'm his husband," he replied.

"Okay so, we already sent a blood sample to the lab to find out what may have been given to him. We flushed most of it out of his system, but it's best for him to stay here so we can observe him," Dr. Mariano said.

"Yes, sure. Thank you, doctor," Ambrose said.

"Would you prefer a private room?" she asked.

"Yes, please," Ambrose said and Dr. MAriano nodded before leaving them alone.

Ambrose sighed and took Matthew's hand in his. He regrets leaving Matthew alone after pulling away from the kiss. He didn't know why he was reacting that way. For the first time in his life, his feelings towards Matthew confused him. He always knew he loved him, but now he wasn't sure what kind of love he had for him.

Ambrose pulled away as the nurses came in to transfer Matthew to a private room. The nurses advised him to go home for a bit and grab a few essentials and maybe rest a bit before coming back here. Ambrose refused at first but after a few more nudges from the nurses, he finally went back to the beach house. He quickly packed an overnight bag and made sure to grab his phone and charger before going back to the hospital.

Matthew was still asleep when he came back. Ambrose sent a quick message to their family group chat before turning his attention back to Matthew. His eyelids start to flutter as Ambrose approached him. Ambrose smiled and sat in the space beside Matthew as his eyes opened.

"How are you feeling?" Ambrose asked.

"Like shit," Matthew said, his voice sounding extremely tired.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone," Ambrose apologized.

"Don't worry about it. It's fine. It's my fault for drinking too much," Matthew chuckled.

He soon realized that he wasn't at home. His brows furrowed as he saw all the wires attached to him and all the white walls.

"What happened?" he asked.

"You might've gotten drugged, Matt. Do you not remember?" Ambrose asked and Matthew shook his head.

"Are we in a hospital?" he asked and Ambrose nodded.

"Take a rest, Matthew. We'll deal with this tomorrow, okay?" Ambrose said before kissing Matthew on the forehead.

Matthew nodded and closed his eyes again. Ambrose sighed as he went back to sit on the couch. His phone was blowing up with messages from their family asking for more details about what had happened, but Ambrose couldn't find the energy to talk to them. He laid down on the couch, preparing to sleep, but the notifications start to bother him.

Ambrose sighed and grabbed his phone before opening the messages. His sister sent him an article showcasing a picture of Matthew and the woman from earlier. Ambrose cursed under his breath. The headline stated, Matthew Hunt was found having an affair days after he and his husband were found exiting a fertility clinic.

Ambrose groaned in annoyance, but he didn't want to deal with it yet. He just wanted to make sure that Matthew was okay first. Ambrose turned off his phone and laid back down on the couch. Ambrose sighed before trying to sleep again. He just wished that things wouldn't blow out of proportion the next day.

    Matthew woke up with Ambrose laying down beside him. A smile grazed his lips as he ran his fingers through his hair. The door opened a nurse came in with Matthew's dad following behind. Michael carefully pulled Matthew into a hug, careful not to wake Ambrose up."Your husband's really worried about you, huh," Michael teased. "What happened?""Oh, Ambrose needed to use the bathroom so he went back to the beach house. I was left alone with a fuck ton of alcohol and apparently, I was drugged," Matthew said.Michael shook his head in disbelief. "Your mother didn't come here because she was so disappointed. Did you see the article from last night?" he asked."What article?" Matt asked.Michael sighed. "A woman took advantage of you. She might also be the one who drugged you. Someone snapped a picture now everyone thinks you're having an affair."Matthew grumbled in annoyance. "Did Ambrose see it?" he asked."Just ask him when he wakes up.

    It's been a few weeks after the incident and the paparazzi have finally calmed down. Once they got home from the beach house that day, Matthew thought Ambrose would retain the same amount of affection but the moment they stepped foot inside the car, Ambrose started to act cold. Every time Matthew would try to hug or kiss him, he would pull away.He tried talking to him, asking him what was wrong, but Ambrose would just tell him that there was nothing wrong. Ambrose has also been sleeping in another room and Matthew didn't know what to do anymore. They're currently on their way back to the clinic. They're going to check if there would be any viable embryos that they could already implant and Matthew couldn't wait, but Ambrose didn't seem to share the same sentiment. Matthew tried holding Ambrose's hand, but he pulled away. Matthew has had enough. He quickly pulled over to the side of the road."Why are you acting like this?!" Matthew yelled and Ambrose flinched in response.Mathew curs

    Matthew has been sulking for a few days. He really took being a virgin at forty straight to the heart. Ambrose tried apologizing multiple times, but Matthew wouldn't budge. It's like talking to a wall at this point—a giant handsome wall. Matthew was lying face down on their bed, ignoring Ambrose with all his might so Ambrose laid on top of him and wrapped his arms around his waist. He placed kisses all over his neck and felt Matthew writhe underneath him. "My cock is getting hard, Ambrose," Matthew mumbled against the pillow. "Ugh, you're fucking disgusting," Amrbsoe grumbled as he abruptly got off him. Matthew lay on his back and opened his arms for his husband. Ambrose raised his brow at him but he just motioned for Amrbseo to give him a hug. "I'm not hard, I promise," Matthew smiled. "No. Get up and help me pick a color for the nursery and stop sulking. Sulking will not make you any less of a virgin," Ambrose said as he placed both his hands on his hips. "Just you wait, my d

    They reached the office and Ambrose was getting annoyed with the shit-eating grin on his husband's face. They got out of the car and Matthew slung an arm over his shoulders and pulled him close to his body as they walk. They've always avoided PDAs when they're in the office and it was odd for his employees to see him being so touchy. Melisa, Matthew's secretary, led them to the boardroom where Mr. Carter was already waiting for him. Ambrose stayed behind in his office as he waited for his meeting to end. "Good afternoon, Mr. Carter. What brought you here?" Matthew asked as he held his hand out to Mr. Carter. "Oh, don't start with that," Mr. Carter grumbled before pulling Matthew into a tight hug. Matthew chuckled as he hugged Mr. Carter back. "So what brought you here?" he asked as he pulled away. "Well, I'm retiring and none of my kids want to take over the company and I don't want to force them to run a company they don't want so I came here to ask if maybe you could take over

    "Ambrose, baby, wake up," Matthew whispered as he gently shook Ambrose awake.Ambrose groaned in response as he covered his head with a pillow. "If you don't wake up, we're going to get an earful from your mother the moment we step out of our car so please get up. I've already picked out your clothes so all you need to do is shower and fix your face," Matthew said.Ambrose groaned louder and finally sat up on the bed. He dragged himself to the bathroom and finally took a shower. Matthew helped Ambrose dry his hair after he took a shower and had to help him get dressed too since the man was half awake the whole time. The color theme for the party was pastel green so Matthew was wearing a plain pastel green long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans while Ambrose was wearing a pastel green silk dress that fell just above his knees.Mathew decided to just carry AMrbsoe into the car and the man immediately fell back to sleep as they drove off.

    It's been a few months and Alana just entered her second trimester. The nursery was set up and everything that the baby needed are already prepared. As for the husbands, they've become much closer and Ambrose has become much clingier. It baffled Matthew at first, but he wasn't complaining. Alana noticed it too and she wouldn't stop teasing her brother for being so clingy."Oh my god, Ambrose, sit down. Your husband was like gone for thirty minutes. They're not going to be back for another half an hour," Alana said to Ambrose.He's been pacing in front of the windows, waiting for Mathew to come back. He doesn't even know why he has become so clingy as of late. He even moved part of his office to Matthew's building because he couldn't stand spending the rest of the day away from him. It even reached the point where he sat on Matthew's lap while he was working. He was bored and had nothing else to do. It was that or they'll end up having sex for the nth time of the day."Am I not allowed

    "Why did you lie to me?" Mathew asked Ambrose the moment he opened the door for him.Ambrose didn't sleep, not even a wink, from last night. The bed felt so empty and every inch of his body was craving Matthew's touch. It was torture."Lie about what?" Ambrose asked."When I first asked you when you wanted kids, you said yes. Why did you lie?" he asked.Ambrose didn't know how to answer. He did agree when Matthew asked back then. Maybe it was the pressure coming from everyone else. Maybe because he didn't want to disappoint Matthew. Ambrose just stood there without an answer. Matthew sighed and pushed past him and went straight to their room. Ambrose followed behind him and found him packing up a bag."What are you doing?" Ambrose asked. "I need some time away. I just need to think," he replied."For how long?" he asked.Ambrose could feel his throat closing up as Matthew shoved pieces of clothes, one after another into the luggage."I don't know. Until my head clears, I guess," he

His father had to take over his businesses and his mother had no choice but to live with him for the moment.He would only eat when he was forced to and Lorraine even had to drag him to the bathroom to take a shower so that she could also change the sheets. Lorraine was starting to get worried about his son. She even suggested that maybe it would be good for him to go visit Ambrose but it just made him break down into tears. Lorraine didn't know what to do anymore. It was taking a toll on her so she just hired a private nurse to take care of him.His phone started ringing so he groggily stood up and grabbed his phone from the nightstand.

    "God, you're getting slower every year," Ambrose teased as Matthew finally was able to swim to the shore. "Fuck you," he breathed out. Ambrose chuckled and kicked sand toward Matthew who was lying down on the shore. He was too tired to even react. This is the first time in a few months that it's just the two of them and fatigue hit him like a truck just after one lap. Matthew stood up and retaliated by kicking and toward Ambrose before running back to the beach house. Ambrose only scoffed since the sand barely reached him so Matthew ran for nothing. Ambrose walked back to the beach house and found Matthew already in the shower. He carefully took off his trunks before sneaking in behind his husband and wrapping his arms around his waist. "Hi." "Hi," Matthew chuckled. Ambrose grabbed the washcloth and started washing Matthew. Matthew was enjoying it more than he liked to admit. Ambrose looked into his eyes as he dragged the washcloth around his crotch. Matthew was teasing him and

    25 years ago..."Boo!""Maty?! What the fuck? How did you get here?" Ambrose asked as he pulled Matthew inside his room."Hey, just because we're in a boarding school it doesn't mean I'll stop sneaking out," Matthew shrugged."We can both get in trouble for this, you know?" Ambrose sighed."I know.""You're the older one. You should know better," Ambrose pointed out."Yeah, well, I don't know any better so let's go," Matthew said before going out through the window again."Where are we going this time?" Ambrose asked."There's a lake nearby. I saw it on our way here," Matthew replied.The two carefully climbed out of the window, holding onto the brick walls for their dear lives. Ambrose's room was on the third floor so they carefully went down one of the columns. Matthew went ahead of him, looking around for any guards before running across the yard with Ambrose following behind him. Matthew motioned for Ambrose to climb up the wired fence before following right after him.Ambrose lan

    "Happy Birthday to youuuuu~~~!!!" Everybody sang as the two little girls tried their best to blow out the candles in front of them. Everybody cheered as the flames were successfully extinguished by Nika and Naoki. After everything that they went through, they were finally able to celebrate Nika and Naoki's first birthday. Matthew removed both the candles before letting the kids go ham on the cake. Everyone was awed as the two devoured the cake, the icing smeared all over their little bodies. Matthew's eyes landed on Ambrose's face. Suddenly it felt like the first time that he realized that he was in love with his best friend. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. Seeing Ambrose's smile made his heart skyrocket out of his chest. "You're so beautiful," Matthew muttered under his breath."Huh, what was that?" Ambrose asked, leaning his ear toward Matthew. His attention was still focused on their twins enjoying their cake. Matthew's face flushed. He didn't realize that he said that

    A week passed and Matthew was finally discharged from the hospital. In the week that passed, the police found out that both the nannies were involved in the kidnapping. They were sending Drake the family's schedule and were paid a hefty amount to help them go into hiding once the crime was done. Fortunately enough, the two were quickly found. They weren't exactly doing a good job of hiding. It was also the day of the first hearing. Ambrose insisted on coming with them but Matthew refused. Now Ambrose is left at home with the kids and with his mother. Melanie has never seen Ambrose this distraught before. Despite their lawyer telling them that they have a strong case against Drake, Ambrose couldn't help but fear that Drake could still walk away from all of this scathe free. The only thing giving him strength right now is how the children are doing. It seemed that they were well taken care of under Drake's "care" and they've observed no abnormalities in their behavior so far. It seeme

    A few days had passed since the incident and the police had yet to update them on anything about the case. Matthew was looking worse for wear with each day that passes. He barely eats and this time, Ambrose was the one who was using all his strength to power both of them through. The doctors had to resort to tube feeding at one point because Matthew refused to eat or even drink. Ambrose thought that after their last conversation, Matthew would at least be talking to them but after that day, no words ever came out of his mouth again no matter how many times they tried to make him talk. They even tried getting a psychiatrist and a psychologist for him but he was still unresponsive. It also made it difficult for his wound to heal properly since his body was depleted of nutrients that he needed to recover. As Ambrose was getting ready to leave for the hospital, Lucas handed him a letter from the lab where Matthew and the kids had submitted their DNA samples. Ambrose decided that it woul

    "Mom, can you try calling Matt? He's not answering his phone," Ambrose said as his nth attempt at calling Matthew didn't work."Sure, sweetie," Melanie replied.They're returning to Matthew's house after Ambrose's therapy session. He tried to call Matthew multiple times to ask him if he was already home but all of the calls went unanswered. Ambrose could hear the ringing from his mother's phone as she tries to call Matthew. Lucas was checking him through the rearview mirror as he drove. Ambrose's face fell with disappointment and worry when Matthew did not answer Melanie's phone. Matthew's car was missing when they reached the driveway. Lucas parked the car and as soon as he did, Ambrose's phone started ringing. Ambrose saw Matthew's name on the caller's ID and answered the phone and heard an unfamiliar voice coming through the other line. "Is this Mr. Ambrose?" the voice asked."Y-yes. That's me. May I ask how you've come into possession of my husband's phone?" Ambrose asked, tryi

    Ambrose and his parents got back home and found Matthew still sleeping in the living room with the children also sleeping beside him. Another presence entered the house and it was Mr. Willow. "Sorry for showing up unannounced. I was going to talk to Matthew but I didn't want to wake him up so I'm glad you're here," he said to Ambrose. "I think it's best we have Matthew here. We can wake him up, he'll be fine," Ambrose said before asking his mom to wake Matthew up.A few minutes later, a half-asleep Matthew walked into the dining room. He plopped down onto the seat, barely conscious as to what was going on."We'll stay in the living room with the kids. Just call us if you need anything," Melanie said before leaving the dining area. "Matt, you good?" Ambrose asked."Y-yeah, huh, what?" Matthew mumbled as Ambrose slowly came into his view. "Oh, you're home." he pointed out."Yas, Matt. I'm right in front of you. Now Mr. Willow is here and we're going to talk to him," Ambrose said as h

    "I could post your bail tomorrow so you'll have to stay here for just one night. Luckily Ambrose's parents have cameras in their home that would help your case. If he cooperates well and doesn't pull any more stunts then this will be over sooner than you thought," Mr. Willow said."Am I a bad person for not wanting my daughter to be with her real father?" Matthew asked and Mr. Willow looked at him with pity."No, Matthew. You're not a bad person or a bad father. You've sacrificed so much more than any other father would. He abandoned his daughter. Blood doesn't matter here anymore. I'll try my best to keep your family together. Don't worry," he said, tapping Matthew on the shoulder.Mr. Willow was escorted out of the room and Matthew was sent back to the holding cell. He was left all alone with nothing but silence surrounding him. He was missing Ambrose terribly. Sleep didn't come to Matthew that night.

    A few more days passed and they heard nothing from Drake or his lawyer. They have no way of contacting him so Matthew was just hoping that the man just gave up. Ambrose had another physical therapy session scheduled so Matthew is driving him back to his parent's home. Melanie was relieved to hear that the two patched up and had no problems with Ambrose staying over at Matthew's. It is his home anyway. Ambrose just has to do his therapy sessions over at his old home, not wanting to waste all the effort his parents made in rearranging the gym. Ambrose already noticed the scowl on Matthew's face. He knew it wasn't because of the situation with Drake, it was because of Jake coming over again. "Matt, are you making that face because Jake has to do his job," Ambrose asked with a slightly teasing tone. Matthew didn't answer but his eye twitched and that was all the answer AMbrose needed. He knew he had to make Matthew jealous again but for a different reason this time. He just wanted to m
