The next day, under the warm climate, the birds were chirping, making a small melody that was honey-sweet to the ears who were hearing. The sun rays kissed those two men who were sleeping, cuddling each other. When the warmth of the sun touched their face, their eyebrows frowned. Eryx pulled the blanket up and covered their face to not let the sun disturb their sleep. Braylon nuzzled against Eryx's chest, hugging him tightly. There was no space between them. Their breathing sound could be heard. Soon Braylon came back to his senses from his sleepy mood. As soon as he realized his position he was trying to get away from the strong male's grip but unfortunately, he couldn't. Eryx pulled him and hugged him tightly. Braylon's heart started to beat. Braylon's cheeks were painted with cherry blossoms. A small curve appeared on Eryx's lips. Seemed like he didn't even sleep at all. They stayed like this for a while. Until the door opened, the sound hit their ears. Someone came in. Both of
Right now, everyone was sitting and having their breakfast. The atmosphere was unpleasant from others' points of view. Why wouldn't it be? Since Eryx was fuming in anger. Or you can say fuming in jealousy. These two days were like heaven for him but when Alan called Braylon, it became all gloomy. Although Alan is a kid, whenever he thinks that he is not his kid, he can't help but want to tear up the world. Braylon was eating his food silently. He was already fed up with his cold treatment. Without eating his food, he left the place. It wasn't pleasant for both Alex and Revilla. “Eryx... Why are you angry all of a sudden? Look at Braylon... He was worried... You know right... Compared to us, he needs you more.” Revilla said as Eryx scoffed hard. “If I am important to him, why did he marry some random woman and even have a child together? Do you think I am just a pushover just to accept what was already used?” His words were rude enough to pierce someone's heart. Unfortunately for h
They were feeling the moment. They took off their jumpers and dived into the pool while Revilla was watching them with a sweet smile on her face. She was just happy to see her friends all together. But that smile didn't last long. She dropped her smile while thinking about something. “Revilla... Why are you staying there? Come and join us...” Eryx invited her as she shook her head with a small smile on her face. It was noticed by Alex. “Let her be if she doesn't want it...” Alex exclaimed, making her heart clench in pain. It was rude though. Soon he received a hard smack on his head. Braylon was the one who smacked on his head. Alex whined in pain. “You are you, Alex... What's with this rudeness... Drop your attitude when you are with us...” Braylon said as Alex lowered his head. Something was going on between them. Braylon already noticed that. Since morning they were acting all weird. Although she acted normal, it was all shown on her face. Alex's words were like he didn't want h
The rustling sound of wind filled the room. The birds were chirping, more than like they were having a lovely moment with their pair. A beautiful male was sleeping on the cozy bed soundly. Maybe he was tired. Yeah... He was tired because of someone who rammed him mercilessly. He didn't want to open his eyes but the sun's rays were tingling his eyes making him move his eyeballs under the eyelids. He turned to avoid the sunlight but groaned when he felt a throbbing pain in his back. He slowly opened his eyes, finding him in the soft, comfortable clothes. His hair was fully dried. He was sandwiched between bed and blanket. He got up from his sleep, settled on the bed, and rested his head on the headboard. He groaned hard when he felt pain. It wasn't new for him yet it was feeling all different. He was seeing his aggressive side for the first time. His eyes widened in shock for a moment. “Hell no... He... He cummed inside me... What... What if I get pregnant once again... I can't hand
Two days passed with absolutely no work. They acted lethargically, making the village head down his guard. Their activities were all informed to the mysterious person by the village head. Two days were like hell for those four. They didn't like to be here. They could feel they were watched by someone. After all, they were trained and brilliant in every way. At the same time, the village head forgot about the boy who left the village. He came back after two days. Four of them were in Braylon's place, and that's when someone entered the room. Because of the sudden invasion, they were startled. “Senior... I got what you asked.” Franklyn said as they patted their chest to catch up with their breath. “You brat... You almost stopped our hearts.” Revilla said, glaring at Franklyn. Franklyn laughed nervously while scratching his nape. It became awkward. “Tell me what you got... Hope your answer satisfies me...” Eryx said, releasing his dark aura. His aura made others shiver other than Al
Alex was sitting on the bed and waiting for Revilla who was in the shower for more than one hour. He wanted to brush off his feelings when he felt that day but the more he tried the more it got intense. He was scrolling the mobile feed when the bathroom door clicked open revealing an utterly beautiful female in the night robe, her exposed collarbone with water droplets sticking on her milky skin attracting him more. He gulped down a lump of his saliva and scratched his nape to avoid her. When she noticed Alex's presence, she was startled at her place. She approached him and cleared her throat. “Ahem, what are you doing here?” Her tone was icy cold but Alex was determined in something. Yeah, he didn't want to let this thing go. He wanted her, wanted his love back. Whatever happened, he didn't want to let her go away from him. The chance was in his hand how could he let it go?Revilla was annoyed by his presence more like she was embarrassed. After what happened between them, Rev
Eryx Left the room while Revilla was still thinking about making a decision. That night became sleepless for Revilla. The next day rose while everyone was busy at their so-called work. Braylon was doing something on his laptop and that's when he received a letter from the forensic department. There was a file attached to it. Since when did they become proactive in work? They gave the evidence not a few days ago but one day ago. He opened the file and started to look over the file. He was immersed in his reading. The door opening sound distracted him from reading the file. He tilted his head to see who that person was. It was his team. He sighed before taking off his spectacles. There was no life in Revilla and Alex's eyes. He couldn't help but worry about them. “The report arrived...” He said, getting everyone's attention. They quickly marched toward Braylon and waited for his explanation. "Actually…" He stopped before saying anything. They were confused. "What happened?" Frank
The next day everyone came to the precinct. There was some bitterness in their faces. They couldn't wash off those feelings after all. They settled down in their respective places. Soon two people came there and greeted Braylon. “Good morning Mr. Braylon, I am Detective Matthias Mitchell and this is Martin Pelikan. We are here to investigate the case in which you were working. If you give us your reports and evidence, it will be convenient for us to investigate.” he held a mischievous smile on his lips. Everyone was looking at Braylon. He sighed before giving the file to them.After taking the file, they left the place. Soon Braylon's place was crowded. It was none other than his team. Both Alex and Eryx were gloomy. “Why did you give them our report?” Franklyn burst, and so did Revilla. “Can we talk later? I've some work to finish. I don't have time to discuss which doesn't belong to us. ” Braylon ignored them. They clicked their tongues before getting back to their work. Braylon
Braylon's Pov!The sun was setting behind the city buildings. I stood by the window, my heart pounding with a secret I could no longer keep. I had planned this for weeks, hoping everything would go perfectly. I slipped out unnoticed, everyone too absorbed with the happy couple to notice my absence.As I approached the spot I had chosen, a secluded garden just a few minutes away, I quickened my pace. It was beautiful, exactly how I ordered the arrangements: fairy lights draped over the trees, a cosy setup with cushions and blankets, and a small table adorned with candles. It was warm and magical.My phone buzzed, pulling me from my thoughts. A message from Eryx: "Where are you? Everyone’s looking for you." I didn't reply, they might have already guessed where I was. I just wanted to wait for them to reach here. After twenty minutes, I heard the familiar voices of my friends. They had found me. Eryx rushed to me, wrapping me in a tight hug. "I was so scared when I couldn't find you," h
It was like a strong storm finished in their life. Braylon almost lost his sanity, when Alan was kidnapped. It had been two weeks, and everything had happened. Alan was coming out of the trauma slowly, Eryx often came home to cheer up his son. He wasn't going to school, not yet. "He must be tired. But he is strong, don't worry." Eryx squeezed Braylon's shoulder, pulling him close to Eryx. Braylon just hummed in response; eyes gazing at the sleeping figure of Alan softly. "Sister Zaneta came home to invite us to her wedding, but Alan didn't talk to her and ran into his room. She was suspicious about it, but I managed to lie to her." Braylon's eyes brimmed with tears, chest congested with a feeling of agony. "It's okay, he needs some time." Braylon nodded. "Alex and others came home but left just before you came. Alan seemed quite active today." "He will get out of this trauma soon. He is just a kid and it was too much for him. Just believe him." Braylon inclined his head in agreem
"I am coming with you two," "No... you aren't going anywhere," Eryx sternly said, refusing Braylon's request. "He is my son. I'll come with you two. If you two refuse me, I don't hesitate to kill myself," okay, this was the underrated threatening from Braylon, but what they didn't expect was his hands were holding a knife. Eryx and Adler exchanged a worried glance, their faces tight with concern. Eryx stepped forward, his voice low but firm.“Braylon, I know how much this means to you, but it’s too dangerous. You need to stay safe. He is my son as well. Don't do anything stupid.”Braylon’s eyes flashed with anger. “I’m not staying behind while my son is out there. I’m coming with you, whether you like it or not.”Adler sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. “We can’t protect you and search for Alan at the same time. You’ll slow us down.”“I won’t be a burden,” Braylon snapped. “I’m a trained detective, remember? I can handle myself.”Eryx glanced at Adler, seeing the defea
Adler’s apartment was quiet except for the soft hum of air conditioning. Braylon was fast asleep on the couch after being convinced by Adler and Eryx. It was a hard task for Adler and Eryx to convince Braylon to sleep since he wanted to go to search for Alan. Adler had convinced him to stay over for the night, reassuring him that it would be safer than being alone. As Braylon slept, Eryx was staying with Braylon to take care of him while Adler was on the phone with the technical team. His voice showed how much rage he was holding right now. If that kidnapper got caught, he would surely skin them alive. "I need you to trace the caller ID that contacted Braylon Rhys earlier," Adler instructed the team. "It's urgent," Adler told them Braylon's number to trace. After getting orders from the chief, the technical person hung up on him. "Guys... We have an issue. Need to track the Caller ID," That guy shouted, getting the attention of everyone. Alex, being the one responsible for issuing
"Let's go home," Adler softly exclaimed. Braylon shook his head denying the offer. "We can't stay here, baby. We will surely find Alan, but for that, you have to be strong, right?" Eryx caressed his love's hair. Adler and Eryx had finally managed to convince Braylon to leave the bustling mall, where they had spent an hour under police surveillance. Adler informed his members before leaving the mall. It had been a long and exhausting day for everyone, and the last thing they wanted was to add to the worries of the Rhys couple. So, they decided to take Braylon to Adler's apartment, a place where Braylon could be safe for now.Adler's apartment was a haven after the chaos he had experienced. Adler went to cook something for Braylon. Eryx followed Adler. "Do you want anything?" Adler asked while searching for the ingredients. "Where is the first aid kit? I will treat his wound." Eryx uttered. "In the bedroom. Second cupboard on the left," Adler instructed. With a hum, Eryx left to g
It was another day, and Alan was once again brimming with excitement. He had been begging his dad Braylon to take him outside ever since they had fun in the amusement park. And it was his demand since Braylon hung out with his friend and refused to bring him with them.“Please, Dad, can we go out today? Please?” Alan had asked that morning, his big brown eyes wide with hope.Braylon sighed, knowing he couldn't resist his son's plea. “Alright, alright, baby. Let’s go to the mall. But you have to promise to behave, okay?”Alan’s face lit up with a huge grin. “I promise! I’ll be the best behaved!” He ran to get changed, Braylon stood there adoring his son.With that settled, Braylon got them both ready, making sure Alan had his favourite sneakers on and a small backpack with snacks and a water bottle. They headed out, the sun shining brightly as they walked to the nearby mall. Mr and Mrs Rhys hadn't returned from the business trip so He just texted them about the outing. At the mall, Al
The day had finally arrived. Eryx and Braylon had been planning the outing, and now it was happening. Braylon called Alex and Revilla, and then he contacted Adler and Franklyn to join them. Even though Braylon informed them, once again Eryx called them to confirm the outing. Alex and Revilla were happy about this little outing. In their group, they were only staying in the work since Eryx and Braylon quit. It was their dream job, but when their life took an unexpected turn, they had to choose a path that was not even their profession; that kinda hurts them, though.They hadn't seen each other for the past few weeks, and this little outing to the hotpot to the old place was what they needed. Eryx was the one to pick everyone from their place, Braylon's excitement bubbled in his face. It was quite hard for Braylon to convince Alan since the younger was stubborn to join them. Braylon wasn't selfish in not taking his son with him. It was quite a remote place; Alan would be uncomfortabl
In just one month, Alan would turn five, and today was the day Eryx and Braylon had planned to enrol him in the school. Alan’s excitement was visible; he had been homeschooled by his grandparents until now, and the expectation of attending a regular school with other children thrilled him. Braylon wanted Alan to experience school life. He argued with his parents to let Alan study in the school rather than homeschooling. At last, the Rhys couple decided to accept the decision of Braylon made. Alan was mature for his age, understood how Braylon was struggling and many other things, which was something both Eryx and Braylon were proud of, mostly Braylon.Eryx, Braylon, and Alan arrived at the school. The school building loomed large and renovated, compared to other kids' schools, with children’s laughter echoing from the playground. Alan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the new atmosphere, excitement pooled in him. He was squealing in joy inside, obviously. It was new lBraylon and Eryx
Amy burst through the cabin door with a loud bang, startling Mr. Silvester immediately looked up from his desk. His secretary stood behind Amy, her face flushed and her hands wringing nervously, unable to stop Amy from intruding into the CEO's office. With a wave, Mr Silvester signalled for his secretary to leave them alone. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and quietly closed the door behind her, leaving the two of them in the room.Mr. Silvester calmly gazed at Amy's angry face. She stood there, her fists clenched at her sides, her eyes blazing with fury. “How could you do this?” she shouted, her voice echoing in the spacious office. “You just broke off the merger without any warning!”Mr. Silvester leaned back in his chair, “I had to, Miss Anderson,” he said evenly. “My son wasn’t fond of the decision.” Amy let out a derisive laugh. “Oh, please! Don’t try to pin this on your homo son. You were okay with the merger, regardless of how much he opposed it. This was your decisio
