THEIR COLD AND CONFUSED HEARTS ย ย ย Chapter 8 BUMP INTO EACH OTHER
Zadkiel approached the men's room slowly, his pace a deliberate contrast to the frantic beating of his heart. He rubbed his forehead, a slight throbbing starting behind his eyes. He'd drunk half a bottle of wine โ more than he'd consumed inโฆwell, he couldn't even remember the last time he'd had that much alcohol. He'd lost track of time, of pleasure, and of anything beyond the relentless demands of his work.Real happiness felt like a distant, almost forgotten luxury, something he couldn't afford, no matter how much money he possessed. It was harder to attain than any business deal, any award, any accolade. He'd graduated top of his class from a prestigious university, and achieved every professional milestone he'd set for himself, and yetโฆhe felt empty. A hollow shell of a man, going through the motions, driven by ambition, but lackingโฆsomething. Something essential he couldn't point out.He didn't understand this emptiness. His childhood memories were fragmented, and incomplete, leav

Arkael leaned against the wall near his private elevator, his outward calm a carefully constructed facade. Inside, he was a maelstrom of conflicting emotions. Nervousness, yes, but beneath that, a deeper, more unsettling turmoil.The encounter in the restroom had, as always, left him feeling empty and disgusted, not with the woman, but with himself. The brief, violent act had been a release, a desperate attempt to regain control, but it had, as always, failed.He felt a tremor run through him that had little to do with the aftermath of his encounter, and more to do with who was nearby.His heart was hammering against his ribs, but not entirely from the physical exertion. It was the anticipation. The unexpected, unwanted, and yet undeniably thrilling prospect of seeing Zadkiel again. Seeing the man who, with a single look, a single word, had managed to crack the icy shell he'd built around himself.For the second time in his adult life, he felt a surge ofโฆ what? He couldn't name it. It

Zadkiel was lost in thought. Consumed by the whirlwind of emotions Arkael had stirred up. He barely registered Mariella calling his name. The sharp snap of her fingers near his face finally broke through his internal chaos."What?!" he snapped. His irritation flared in an instant. He hadn't meant to be rude, but the sudden intrusion into his private thoughts felt violated.Mariella pointed behind him. Her expression was a mixture of amusement and something elseโsomething that looked almost likeโฆ understanding. "Dude, there's a situation developing behind you," she said in a low voice.Zadkiel turned and followed her gaze. His breath caught in his throat. Standing just a few feet away, with a posture radiating a strange mix of tension and concern was Arkael Casimiro.The man's musky scent, which had inexplicably captivated Zadkiel earlier, wafted towards him in a potent, almost overwhelming wave. He instinctively inhaled, his body reacting before his mind could censor the response. He f

Arkaelโs heart leaped for a reason he couldn't quite place when Zadkiel's words reached him.Perhaps it was a surge of relief that this newly rediscovered childhood brother seemed to embrace a brighter outlook than his own. A fierce protectiveness welled within him. He would move heaven and earth to shield him from the corrupting influence of malicious individuals. He had grown accustomed to navigating such darkness, but Zadkiel? The thought of him being tainted was unbearable.If only recognition had dawned on him sooner, everything would have unfolded with such ease. He would have been a constant presence in Zadkiel's life, ready to fulfill his every need and desire. He would have stayed by his side to accompany him wherever he wished. Was it truly that simple, to simply cater to his whims?Arkael closed his eyes as he drew in several deep and steadying breaths. He had momentarily lost himself in the past. He almost forgot the chasm of time that separated them from their innocent chi

Arkaelโs grip tightened on Zadkielโs wrist like a silent vow to unearth every buried concern that troubled his childhood brother. Now that he had found him again, he would never let him slip away. The innocent child he once knew had vanished. He was replaced by a man, but the bond, Arkael hoped, remained.โLet go of meโฆโ Zadkielโs voice held a tremor like an inexplicable shiver tracing icy paths down his spine, and it prickled his every nerve ending. The unexpected touch sent a wave of disquiet through him. He glared at Arkael with a silent warning flickering in his eyes: persist, and youโll regret it.But Arkael was unyielding. His resolve was as steadfast as ever. He held firm, stubbornly waiting for the dam of Zadkielโs unspoken thoughts to finally break. Had Zadkielโs lost memories not obscured the past, he would have recognized this very tenacity like a hallmark of their first encounter.โWho are you?โ Zadkielโs question cut through the tense silence. It was born of the unsettling

Upon closing the door, Zadkiel leaned against the cool embrace of the wall. Then, a profound wave of sadness washed over him, seeping into the marrow of his bones.It was the insidious caress of the wine that had stirred this unwelcome melancholy. He hadn't intended to succumb to such sentimentality, but the gnawing ache of solitude had pried open the sealed chambers of his childhood memories.Did his lost brother feel this same persistent emptiness? Why had he vanished from his young life? These questions had been relentless companions since the discovery of those fragmented recordings. What had transpired in the forgotten years? Should he finally confront his mother, demand answers about the shadowed landscape of his past?Closing his eyes offered a fleeting respite, and the tears that had threatened to spill receded like a tide. Another deep breath, then another. He inhaled the stale air of the hallway with a desperate hunger, as if each lungful could somehow dilute the bitter taste

Arkaelโs gaze bore into Zadkiel like a silent accusation that could have withered steel. He had been consumed by worry. His mind was a tempest of anxieties regarding Zadkielโs fragile emotional state. But the scene he had stumbled upon had ignited a white-hot fury within him.What would have transpired had he not arrived when he did? The mere thought of Xanderโs lips claiming Zadkielโs sent a violent tremor through him. His blood ran hot with an unfamiliar rage. Why? This possessive fury was a stranger to him. What was this bewildering and intense sensation?โStop glaring at me as if Iโve committed some heinous crime. Itโs unnerving!โ Zadkiel straightened his posture as he took a decisive step forward. He yearned to escape from the suffocating atmosphere of the club. To retreat to the sanctuary of his home. There, in the quiet solitude, he could tend to his invisible wounds and allow them to heal. Eventually, he would piece himself back together and reclaim his usual arrogant composure

Zadkiel remained stubbornly silent as Arkaelโs pointed question hung like an unspoken accusation. He was frozen. It was as if a mental barricade slammed down, trapping his thoughts in a bewildered stillness.Why?He felt a languid warmth was spreading through him, and the remnants of Arkaelโs kiss pulled him under like a pleasant undertow he struggled to resist. His body felt strangely heavy, and his temperature was rising. Beneath the fabric of his trousers, his manhood had stirred. A burgeoning awareness that sent a jolt of alarm through him.'Shit! This is getting complicated fast!' His inner voice screamed.โHeyโฆ Zad, are you okay?โ Arkaelโs voice was laced with a playful, almost seductive smirk that finally broke through his daze.โHuh?โ Zadkiel blinked as he was dragged back to the unwelcome reality of Arkaelโs persistent inquiries. He must look a complete mess as his thoughts are still tangled and unfocused.โTell me, how does it feel to kiss a man?โ Arkael repeated. His gaze w

A year later...“Ahhh!” A woman’s painful whine ranged on Kael and Kiel’s ears.“Axe... Take it easy, she will be fine and so as our babies...” Kael patted his lover’s shoulder gently to comfort him.“My love, what if the babies couldn't make it? Godddd! I can't bear to lose them!” Kiel grumbled shakily. He was pacing back and forth anxiously outside the delivery room. After their marriage, their parents give them both a task to fulfill before going back to their country and take over the company. They are required to find someone to give birth to their babies. They were both billionaires

Why didn't I know that?’ he thought."Got it!" Hoop affirmatively agreed without hesitation.A few minutes later...A fully armed man in a black combat outfit appeared on Amira's side. He hand her a fully loaded automatic rifle on which she accepted right in front of her ex-husb

Meanwhile...Merah was feeling extremely uneasy. Her guts told her that there must be something big happening behind her back. Her heart thudded loudly beneath her chest. Her stomach couldn't help churning. She felt edgy that she kept on pacing back and forth in their living room. Allen’s call gives her the odd feeling that he must be up to something. Something dangerous!“Merah, listen to me my love... don’t come here to my office today, do you understand? I have an important work with Zack that needs to be focused...” Allen informed her seriously.“What work was that? You didn’t tell me about that matter these days.

Her stare makes Eugene tremble all over in fear. He broke into a cold sweat as he shifted on his seat looking too flustered.“Relax, don't be scared,” Kenneth whispered and squeezed Eugene’s hand giving him enough courage to carry over his task. “Madam you're here...” Eugene stood up from his seat and bowed slightly greeting the woman trying to get himself calm than ever.

“Okay... Tell me the details of where she could possibly go at this moment.” Hoop demanded waiting patiently on the other end of the line for Kael's information.“I think she’s going to my office. The AMC hotel headquarters.” Kael stated as he thought about it carefully. He was a hundred so sure that it would happen. No doubt about it.Merida hated his guts so much ever since. Then perhaps she would go directly on his office and kill him on the spot! She was kidnapped and because of that incident her anger tripled and she was now desperate to avenge herself!

“Sir, please move a little. We need to do some follow-up checks ups on him...”Zadkiel’s attending physician barged in without further ado with his nurses trailing behind him. Though he caught sight of the two men’s intimate movements he ignored it and proceeded to do his job. He was a professional doctor with professional ethics thus he didn't need to mind their own businesses.Zad rolled his eyes in annoyance. His lips pouted seemingly displeased with his doctor’s sudden intrusion. He gazed at his lover and give out a slight nod of his head like he was telling him a silent ‘let’s carry-on-later!’ look.Kael throw a playful wink back to Zad and wore a faint smile on his lips.

He felt at ease after knowing that Allenโs brat was now taking over to take care of their son. He was gratified for that! He was just hoping that the latter could wake him up in no time! He was greatly worried as the days started to count with Zad responding to them! Meanwhile at the hospital...

โHe has also undergone brain surgery,โ Allen murmured lowly staring at his son. โDad... Ho-how did that happen to him?โ Kael muttered in shock. His eyes widened like saucers while staring at his father. His heart tightened and his nerves clenched painfully. โIt was an accident, Kael. He bumped into his minibar counter while he was drunk.โ Allen muttered with honesty. โWhe-when was that?โ Kael couldn't calm himself anymore and he stood up from his seat. He keeps on pacing back and forth in front of his father looking restless. He was so worried about him! He was freaking out! โThe day after you left him...โ Allen muttered and narrated the story according to Zack Snyderโs story.
