As everyone laid to sleep those who were homeless looked up at the sky that had green dust dancing in the sky. They couldn’t do anything about it nor did they know what it was.
The green dust that sprinkled from the sky, danced along with the wind and entered through the houses of the unexpected guests.
Entering their nose and mouths that were parted slightly.

In the morning, Aldridge woke up and found himself lying in Shawn’s arms. Shawn soon woke up to Aldridge coughing and when he looked at him he saw that his nose was bleeding. Shawn sat up on the bed and asked, “What happened to your nose?”
Aldridge looked at him confused while he was still coughing and shook his head, “My throat is dry. What happened
Aldridge arrived back home and was told that Shawn was busy in his office. He knocked on the door and entered. Shawn looked up and smiled when he saw Aldridge and asked, “So you’re finally home?”Aldridge rolled his eyes as he made his way over and sat down on Shawn’s lap. They looked into each other’s eyes and Aldridge said, “If you missed me so much, why don’t you show me?”Shawn smirked and flicked his nose, he got up and placed Aldridge on his desk and leaned forward looking into his eyes and said, “Why don’t you tell me something interesting first?”Aldridge raised a brow and thought about it. He looked back into Shawn’s eyes and said, “I went out for tea with Leonardo then we went to visit Joshua.”
“Does that mean you don’t care about me?” Shawn asked.Aldridge’s movements stopped, he got up and walked over to the bed. He sat down beside Shawn and took his hand in his saying, “I love you, Shawn. How can I not care about you?”“So why are you okay with me and Joshua?” Shawn asked him.Aldridge sighed, “I’m actually scared or was scared but as I said, I am okay with you having a second husband. ”“Why do you seem so sure that I will accept Joshua?” Shawn asked him.Aldridge looked away and thought, ‘It was the dream.’ He smiled and said, “I am not heartless and I know that if you do this, it will give you clarity on life. You s
Aldridge walked out of the bathing chamber into the master chamber and looked at Shawn who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and mouth parted. He tilted his head to the left and frowned.Walking to the bed, he climbed onto Shawn and lied down on him.Shawn groaned, “Your penis is on my back.”Aldridge chuckled as he ran his hand down the left side of Shawn’s body and said, “I honestly don’t understand why you are so tired recently.”Shawn’s lids opened halfway and he said, “I honestly don’t know.”Aldridge placed his chin on Shawn’s spine looking at his bed hair and asked, “Isn’t it because you are working overtime?”
Shawn walked into the warehouse and closed the door behind him. He made his way to the end of it and entered a door that was the entrance to a staircase going down. Taking the staircase down, he heard grunting and moaning. The sounds made him frown and he was so confused.He reached a door where the sound was the loudest and opened it. He walked in on Hudson pounding into the man they had captive.Shawn cleared his throat catching their attention and Hudson beamed, “You’re here, my lord?”“What are you doing?” Shawn asked with a sigh.Hudson looked down at the man he was inside that was bound with his hands behind his back and his mouth and eyes covered, “What does it look like?”&ldq
Shawn walked into the estate from staying overnight at Joshua’s estate and could smell lemon cake baking in the air.He followed his nose and froze in his steps when he saw Aldridge standing behind the table wearing an apron and mixing batter together. Shawn smiled and said, “I never thought I’d see this day where you would be cooking for me.”Aldridge looked up surprised then rolled his eyes and said, “Oh please, you are getting nothing. Didn’t Joshua feed you?”Shawn sighed and walked over. He hugged Aldridge from behind and kissed him on the cheek and said, “I missed you too.”“I did not miss you Shawn so do not assume that I missed you,” Aldridge said.Shaw
Joshua glared at his father who handed him documents, "This is my estate. Why am I being kicked out?"Alfred Hillroge narrowed his eyes saying, "I should have known that those rumours between you and Aldridge were true. Hurry up and leave, everything was bought with my money!""I am sick father!" Joshua told him.Alfred chucked the papers at his son and said to the majordomo, "Chuck his things out. I don't care where he is going I don't want to see him. He is no longer my son."Joshua rolled his eyes and picked up the papers. The majordomo came up to him and said, "John Coachman will take you to Prince Aldridge's residents. I have already informed him about this."He handed Joshua a box and said, "This is all your medication
Silas stopped the carriage in front of the stables and jumped off. The door opened and out stepped George.Silas walked over to him and said, “You’ll be living near me and my lover so I hope you’ll be hearing us at night and ignoring it. Your master is already in the estate, so I suggest that you visit him in the morning.”George nodded his head, “Thank you for bringing me all this way.”“It is my duty, now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back home,” Silas said and turned around. He got in front of the horse and took the reins, he lead them to the stables and stopped when he heard, “SILAS MY LOVE~”Hudson came running around the corner making Silas laugh, “Why must you make so much noise?”&n
Shawn walked into the estate late that evening from working and heard laughter coming from the living room.He made his way over quietly and saw Aldridge and Joshua lying on a bed of pillows eating an assortment of fruits and savoury biscuits.He stopped by the doorway and smiled watching them. After a while, Joshua felt that he was being watched and looked over in the direction of the entrance.He smiled when he saw Shawn standing there with a smirk on his face and sat up. Aldridge looked at what Joshua was smiling at and his heart constricted. He sat up and said, “You’re home?”Shawn nodded his head with a smile and walked over asking, “I am not interrupting anything am I?”“No.”
“SHAWN!!” Aldridge yelled at the top of his lungs.Shawn was out back on the lawn with Sebastian and their daughter Victoria. Sebastian groaned displeased, asking, “What is it now.”Shawn smirked amused, he turned to look at Aldridge, who was dragging Anthony and Matthias, who was covered in white powder to him. He stopped in front of them and said, “I am tired of you and your offspring. I’m going away. I don’t know where, but any place is better than this madhouse.”“As Aldridge was leaving, Sebastian yelled, “So you are leaving me with this mess?”“Deal with it!” Aldridge yelled over his shoulder and left.Shawn looked at his sons, who were just s
Joshua’s screaming could be heard throughout the estate. Shawn was inside, holding his hand while Miriam and the servants were rushing.“One last push and baby number two will be out,” Miriam assured them as she held half of the baby’s body in her arms.Joshua looked at Shawn and felt dizzy. He took in a deep breath as he squeezed his hand, then pushed hard.Miriam guided the baby out and quickly cut the umbilical cord. She wrapped him in a towel and handed him to Lilith, saying, “Make sure they are clean.”Shawn wiped the sweat off Joshua’s forehead and kissed him on the lips, “You did so well.”Joshua forced a smile and said, “Shawn, you know I love you, righ
The sun was setting and just as they thought they would have another quiet day, there was a knock on the door. Miriam was closest to the door and answered. She saw Richard standing there holding his daughter, and it looked like he had cried.At his feet were five bags, and it was as if she travelled into the past when he would sleepover. Richard looked at her sadly and asked, “Is there an extra room for us?”“I’ll let them know you are here. For now, you can leave your bags there and follow me to the family room.” She said and closed the door when he stepped in.Following her to the family room, he saw Prince Christian sitting by the fireplace, reading a book. Christian looked up and raised a brow. He looked at Miriam, who introduced who he was, then ignored Richard.She went to let Shawn and the others know he was here. Aldridge and Joshua went to see him while Sebastian stayed in his room.
Shawn walked out of the estate with a thick fury coat on and waited as the carriage pulled up to the steps. Joan Coachman jumped off her seat and rushed inside, hurrying away from the cold.Shawn shook his head amused and walked up as the door opened and out stepped Hudson with a frown on his face. He walked past Shawn too after greeting and went inside to warm up.Alice stepped out of the carriage and looked at the beautiful estate covered in snow and when she laid eyes on Shawn, her eyes watered as she smiled. Rushing into Shawn’s arms, she said, “It’s so good to see you again, big brother.”Shawn chuckled, giving her a tight squeeze and said, “Now you know where I stay, so you should visit often.”Alice rolled her eyes and looked ba
“I need to think this through,” Sebastian said, rubbing his forehead. He felt like crying, not even he could pull off something like this and in the end, she was not even executed. He looked over at Aldridge and asked, “So, did you kill my mother?”“I don’t know what the fuck she tried to do after I closed the cell door. She jumped off the bed and fell straight to earth,” he said.“So she really died like I suspected,” he confirmed.Shawn turned to Joshua, who was beyond angry and said, “Joshua, I know you disagree with the affairs I have and with what I do, but that is just how I am and I will never change. Even when I was with Aldridge, I let you walk into my life and it was not only you. But what I can assure you is that everyone that matte
Three weeks later…Sebastian stood in front of the mirror with his shirt in his mouth and ran his hand over his stomach. “I can’t believe I am already showing. I even had to buy new clothes to hide this,” he complained.Covering himself, he walked out of the estate and to the carriage. He looked at Joann Coachman and asked, “Where do you plan to take me?”“I am only instructed to pick you up, not give you any information,” she said and faced the front. Joshua stuck his head out of the carriage and said, “Hurry or we will leave you behind!”Sebastian looked at him surprised and asked, “Why the hell are you here?”“Oh, it disgusts me too that you are going to be in here with my children. Just hurry so we can go see what Shawn wants us to,” he said, and pulled his head back in.Climbing instead, Sebastian saw that Agnus and Lilith were in
“I’m coming!” The Majordomo of the Hillroge estate yelled at the person banging on the front door.He pulled the door open and saw a furious Sebastian. He stepped aside and bowed, “Welcome, your highness.”“Is Shawn here?” He asked. The majordomo nodded his head, “Yes he is, please follow me.”Sebastian was led to the where he saw Shawn teaching Matthias to walk. Joshua was lying on a blanket with Anthony sitting on his back eating fruit.He walked up to Joshua and cleared his throat. Turning his head to look at him, Joshua’s face, “What the fuck are you doing here?”“Oh now, you shouldn’t be cursing in front of children,” Sebastian said
Shawn’s heavy footsteps could be heard hitting against the concrete floor. He made his way down to the last cell and turned on his heels. He glared into the cell at the queen, who looked up at him blankly.“Are you comfortable?” He asked her.She lowered her gaze and said, “Ever since you entered our lives, things have gone downhill for the royal family.”Shawn raised a brow and smirked. “No, the moment you tried to kill Aldridge the first time, things went downhill for you. Aldridge never died once I came into his life.”She scoffed and lifted her gaze. Standing up, she walked towards the bars and said, “But he finally died, didn’t he?”Shawn stared into her eyes an
Sebastian opened his mother’s door and looked inside. He saw her sitting on her bed, sewing something. Clearing his throat, he said, “Good morning, mother.”She looked up and placed the needle and shirt down she was busy with and smiled, “Good morning son, what can I do for you?”“I came to visit you,” he said as he walked over to her.Queen Katherine sighed, smiling she said, “Son, you are investigating me and the duke ordered that I should receive no visitors, not even from my own servants.”He looked at her and with a weary smile he said, “Things are not looking good for you mother.”“Sebastian, I am innocent,” she said.He shook his head unamused and went to sit down on the bed. Taking her hands in his, he said, looking into her eyes, “Mother, I have good news.”“What is it? Does it have something to do with my ca
