I love him

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-04 23:31:03

I froze when I saw the picture. Someone took it this morning, from an angle that captured me kissing Aithan before I left him at the train station. Whoever took the pictures knew what they were doing. There was even a video of me speaking with Aithan before I kissed his forehead. They only caught the scene, not the words we spoke because of the distance.

"When did he get this?” I glanced up, frowning. I couldn't even tell which emotions were the right ones to use at the moment.

“A few minutes ago. I was there with him when the message arrived, so I got it on my phone while helping him transfer some files to his computer.” He pocketed his phone and looked at me with a curious look on his face. “What's happening, Alex? Is that —”

“Yes, he's the one.” I nodded, letting out a sigh. Since it was already out, I couldn't possibly keep it from him anymore. It wasn't as if doing that would help me at all.

“Your mate? That was the reason you kept using the wrong pronouns when —”

    “What?”“What if I'm weak because of the emotions Aithan invoked in me? I can't always be strong, can I?” I drew some steps towards his desk. “You might not believe in love now, but you once loved my mom, didn't you?”He paused, glaring at me like I had made the greatest mistake of involving my mother in the conversation. “Don't you dare talk about her with that same mouth you kissed that fucking slut with!”“He's not a fucking slut!” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Aithan is a pure man. You are just blinded by your hatred for him, and the intense desire to get rid of him, just for your so-called revenge.”"Shut the fuck up!" Marcus's face turned beet red with rage, and he slammed his fists on the desk. “How dare you defend him! You're my son, and you'll do as I say. You'll stay away from that…that…abomination!” He fumed, his eyes turning to a deep golden to show his fury. “Ever since he came into your life, you have been acting like a fucking moron!”“Because I love him.

    AITHAN Pink drove me back to the estate. He didn't ask me what I was doing at the train station when I begged him to pick me up after a supposed holiday with Michelle. I knew he wanted to ask about it, but couldn't bring himself to do that.“What do you want to ask about?” I asked when he packed the car into the only space in our outdoor garage. "You can ask me anything you wish to know instead of looking at me like that." “I…” He gulped, staring hard at his steering wheel before he focused on me. “Where were you? Viktor said you went on a trip with Miss Michelle, but I saw her three days ago, shopping.”All the blood drained from my face when I heard his words. Gulping, I pinched the bridge of my nose before I asked in a tiny voice, “Did you tell Viktor about it?”“Never.” He shook his head. “I called to confirm with you, but your phone wasn't reachable, so I decided to wait for you to return so I can ask about it.”“Oh.” I exhaled in relief. Knowing Viktor wasn't notified was the

    “Well… That's the right thing to do.” Pink smiled at me. “Rest assured, I will keep your secret. I will take it to my grave.”“Thanks, man.” I nodded at him before I removed the seatbelt and got out of the car. Pink followed me shortly and headed up to the main house with me. “Do you need my aid with anything?” He asked before I could open the door and step in. I paused and turned to him. “Huh?”“Do you have any task for me to do today? Alpha Viktor gave me an off today. He said I deserved to rest after working for a week in your absence, so I —”“No, I don't need your help with anything.” I waved him off. “Since he asked you to take a day off, do that. You deserve it.” I smiled at him. “Have a nice day. Do whatever you want, you can even visit the bar if you like,” I added with a wink, knowing he could tell what I meant by that. “I will.”“You better. Just go lose some steam.” I turned and headed into the house, gently closing the door behind me. “I'm baackkkkkkkkk!” I yelled in

    I gulped, still thinking of a way to salvage the issue. “It's… I…”“Why him? You have always claimed you hate him. Was that all a lie? Why will you even do that?" He looked confused. "I always felt something like this only happens in movies. Who would have guessed a son of mine would do that?!”Viktor was beyond pissed at me. He didn't even try to control his anger. He just let it out, so I would know how he felt. “I only sought him out for his help,” I explained, looking straight into his eyes. “You have to believe me. It wasn't intentional. I —”“Did he force you?” Viktor got up from the loveseat, with his eyes blazing in fury. “Did he make you do it against your will? Did he kidnap you?” I so badly wanted to nod, to lay all the blame on Alex, to claim he seduced me and held me against my will, then videoed it all just so he could blackmail me. Viktor would believe that. It wasn't the first time something like this had happened to me. He would think I was the victim. His hatred fo

    Alex called me the minute I got to my room. It was as if he were keeping watch on me to know when I would be alone. Letting out a frustrated sigh at the flash of his name on my screen, I answered the call.“Hello?” I yawned, stretching my muscles. The conversation with Viktor drained me more than I thought it would.“Aithan, where are you?” He sounded urgent, a tone that I would never associate with him. Alex had always kept his cool with me unless he was confessing his love for me.“At home. Where else?” I plopped down on my bed, the soft mattress enveloping me in its comfort. “What's wrong? Why did you call? Don't tell me you missed me?” I lifted a brow, a hint of amusement dancing in my voice.“I do, but it's not that. I have something to tell you. Can you meet me at my casino in a few?”“Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you.” I got up from the bed. “Your call couldn't have come at a more perfect time.”“Okay. See you then.”He disconnected. I pocketed my phone before

    “Let's do what??” Alex's eyes widened in shock, and he took a step back as if I had physically punched him. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice shaking slightly as he tried to hold my gaze, but I averted it. “Why are you saying this?” This time his tone was low. “It's just…” I drew a deep breath, trying to steel myself for the conversation. "I mean it, Alex. We can't be together anymore. My father…he knows about us. He saw a picture of us together."“A picture?” He repeated as his face fell, and he looked as if I dumped the worst news on him. “How did he…? Never mind. What did he say to you?”“It doesn't matter what he said. What matters is that he knows, and he will not let us be together. We have to end this, Alex. For our good.” I forced a smile. “You can have my mark removed if that's what's bothering you. We don't belong to each other. We are only together to —”“No!” He growled. Alex's eyes flashed with anger, and he took a step closer to me. “I won't let you do this. We ca

    ALEX“Fuck!” I slammed my fist on the desk, making the wood reverberate with the force of my anger. Yet, it didn't sate me. “Fuck!” I cried out, my voice echoing off the walls of my office. I felt like my heart had been ripped out forcefully and trampled under people's feet. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Aithan's words lingered in my mind, cutting deep into my soul. The thought sent a wave of rage coursing through my veins as I tried to regulate my breathing, but it wasn't easy. I couldn't think of a life without him. These past few days with him made me rely fully on his warmth, and on my mate, who knew nothing about our bond. I felt so fucking dead. He hadn't been gone for up to a minute, but it felt like he had been gone forever, leaving a void too big to be filled behind.“No!” I screamed, placing both hands on my head, to stop it from splitting from the pain.With a sudden burst of fury, I swept my arms across the desk, sending papers and pens flying. I kicked ove

    AITHANIt hurts. So damned much. I couldn't tell how many hours I drove around the city, trying to clear my mind from the guilt and pain I got from the breakup before I decided to return home. I didn't know it would hurt like this. If I did, I wouldn't have broken up with him. No. Separating was the right choice. I shook my head, trying to dispel it from the thoughts that wanted to take over. I knew staying with Alex wasn't an excellent decision, or else I wouldn't have been affected by this just like I was. All it took was breaking up with him for me to feel like a considerable chunk of my heart had been removed from my body. The nearer I got home, the more convinced I became I made the right decision. However, I couldn't bring myself to call him, not after the hurtful words I said to him. Not only that, but I ignored his calls. “Aithan, what's wrong with you?” I whispered to myself as I stared ahead. It had now gotten dark, showing how long I had driven around to clear my mind.

    AITHAN I furiously rubbed my hand on my neck as I moved away from him. I coughed, gulping in as much air as I could. My neck hurts. For the first time since he started teasing me to get my attention, I realized how strong he was. He had never raised his hands on me, and just let me do whatever I pleased with him. Even when he knew I was wrong, he just let me do whatever I wanted. However, he changed a few seconds ago. That dark look in his eyes as he tried to kill me was something I will never forget. He looked murderous as he spurted rubbish… What's with him blaming me for his mother's death?We both knew her death had nothing to do with me, same as my mother's death had nothing to do with him. It all had to do with our families.My gaze snapped over to him as he groaned while tossing on the floor. Not for the first time since he walked into the room, I wondered what was wrong with him. I could tell something was going on. Else he wouldn't be like this. This wasn't the Alex I knew

    ALEXI didn't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't the sight that met me when I stepped into the room. Having checked the entire house, I went towards the room, convinced he would be there, and I wasn't wrong. I did a double take when I saw him, kneeling next to the bed, buttnaked. The sight alone infuriated me, but more maddening was the way my dick stirred in my pants. It fucking did! The motherfucker couldn't even tell when to rise and when not to. He was a freaking man!I love women. Why was I feeling this way because of a man? It must be his back. It looked somewhat feminine, especially that arse.He turned to look at me, and I lost it. I drew some steps back as if punched by an unknown force. Those expressive blue eyes peered at me with a love that almost swept me off my feet. My eyes took in his body, the smoothness of his back, and that round butt that made me eager to squish them in my palms. Marcus was right. Aithan Fucking Lyker Kael is a damned seductres

    AITHANI was beyond excited as I raced over to the cabin, the place my feelings for him began. I couldn't control my smile. I felt like I was on top of the entire freaking world. It was like a dream come true for me to get his message so early, after thinking of him for two days. It was as if he could hear my thoughts, and for a moment, I didn't doubt that. I felt like he could do that. I reached the cabin in a few minutes, as the site we went to for the operation wasn't that far. Everywhere was quiet when I arrived. I didn't need to look around to know I showed up earlier than he did. My spirit dampened a little. I was hoping for him to welcome me. It was something I didn't dare say out loud, but was anticipating it. Letting out a sigh, I let myself inside as I had a key — don't ask why I brought it with me. It wasn't as if I were hoping to go over. Okay, I was. Though I thought little about it this morning before I left with Pink, I knew I would have gone over to his cabin this

    ALEXI didn't know how my father got him to agree to meet me, but he did. After telling me about the man in the picture, the one that made my stomach skip each time I looked into his eyes, I realized he was the enemy, the one who took away the joy from me. He killed my mother! Someone like that wasn't supposed to have any happily ever after, not after leaving my life in a fucking shamble. Marcus said he was the one who wiped my memories to get me to forget about the past, so he could be with me. That fucking sicko. It was my first time hearing of a man who wanted to be with another fucking man. While the thoughts didn't strangely repulse me, I felt sick that someone like him would wish to touch me! In his fucking dreams!Now that I'd gotten a perfect location, the cabin in the woods, I knew it was time for me to get the revenge I should have gotten from the moment I woke up in the cell. I couldn't leave, though. Marcus wanted me to be in excellent condition before stepping out. Not

    AITHAN It was a long two days for me. Alex didn't call me, something I was expecting from him. It made me feel lost. I believed he would try to reach out to me, to beg me to take him back, but he didn't. I didn't hear from him, neither did the men I sent to stalk him find him. It seemed like he disappeared after I left his casino. “What's going on with you?” Pink frowned, coming over to my side. “You have been out of it since we left. Are you certain you can pull this off?” “Yeah, I'm good.” I nodded absent-mindedly. Truthfully, I wasn't feeling it at all. Going on this mission was the last thing I wanted. Viktor believed it would help me snap out of the daze I had been in for days now, but I doubted that. I just wished to see Alex. It was the only cure for my depression.I wouldn't mind defying Viktor if that meant I could see him. I just wanted to know how he was doing. I needed to see him smile at me, to tell me everything would be okay. “No, you are not.” Pink shook his head,

    “Pardon?” I blinked, confused by his words. Though my head still hurts like hell, I wanted to know what he was talking about. He sounded mysterious, unlike the man I know. This wasn't like him.“Don't worry about it. You need to regain your strength. There's much to do and so much I need to tell you.” He uncrossed his arms and walked over to me to help me up from the floor.“What happened to me? Why was I in the holding cell? What of my mother? Why does it seem like I have forgotten a major part of my memory?” I asked the questions at once, desperate to know what was happening. I needed answers, fast.“I will tell you about this after you have your rest, okay?” He effortlessly lifted me from the floor. “For now, you need to regain your strength. There are so many things to do, and people to teach lessons.”I wanted to protest, to demand he tell me what was happening, but I didn't. I just let him help me into the house and towards my room. As we walked up the stairs, I couldn't help bu

    ALEXI blinked, looking around the cell in confusion. What was I doing here? I tried to rise, but my legs protested. It seemed like something hard was holding them down, preventing me from rising.As I struggled to sit up again, I took stock of my surroundings. The cell was small and sparse, with stone walls and a single, barred window high up on one wall. A thin, straw-filled pallet was the only furniture in the room.I let out a deep sigh as I tried once more, wondering where my father was. More importantly, was how I ended up in such a place. I couldn't even remember anything. It felt like I had been asleep for a long time as the only memories I had were of my mother dying. The memory was vivid in my mind as if it had happened a few hours ago. I could still feel the pain of her death, and the ache it left in my heart when the warehouse went up in flames. I was helpless. I couldn't save my mother. In the back of my mind, there was this nagging feeling that I somehow caused her dea

    He smirked, a knowing glint in his eyes. He didn't respond to my words immediately, but the way he looked at me made me feel uncomfortable. “Where are the papers?” I asked, ready to sweat it out if it was the only way I could get him to provide the papers. “There.” He gestured to his desk, and he stood back, with his arms still folded and that suspicious glint in his gaze. I frowned as my gaze went to the papers before it returned to him, stunned. This wasn't what I expected him to do. I thought he would put up a fight, try to waste my time or anything. I just wasn't expecting him to give the papers up without a fight or a major argument. “You are giving them to me? Just like that?” “Why? Isn't that what you want? You can take the papers and leave. Your slutty beta is waiting for you.” He wrinkled his nose in disgust.I ignored his snide remarks and walked over to his desk to pick up the documents. As long as I had the papers with me, it was all that mattered. I reached over and

    ALEXANDER Our property was devoid of any soul when I drove into the compound. There were no guards at the gate to usher me in. I had to get out of the car, to be scanned before the gates opened, something that hadn't happened before. I was puzzled as I glanced around, wondering what was going on. This was almost like how the compound was this morning. However, unlike this morning when there were guards by the gate and Max to welcome me, there was no one out here. I shook off all the thoughts that tried to take over, to make me forget why I returned to the house. With another glance around the empty compound, I quickened over to the door. Thankfully, it wasn't locked. Which could mean our butler was in there or the cook. I couldn't be more grateful for that. I stepped into the house and hastened over to my room where I got the papers I needed. All the documents for the properties I owned were in my room except the one for the bar I got when Marcus sent me to complete a task. It was
