Beam's problems did not stop from the unjust termination. Murmurs and a look of disgust welcomed him the instant he entered the hospital cafeteria. He doesn't have to hear what they were all talking about, he is sure it's about him and it's not pleasant.
It's been a busy day and he needs a recharge. He ordered his usual drink and the cafe attendant gave him her usual sweet smile to his great relief. A grumpy food attendant is the least he needs now.
"Enjoy your coffee Dr. Beam, have a great day ahead" the woman warmly smiled at him.
"Thank you, auntie, you too, have a great day" Beam gave her a genuine smile before he turned away.
While he walks towards the vacant seat, he can feel the drilli
It's the day of the annual stockholder's meeting and all Greys were all formally dressed for the occasion. The men were all in a three-piece suit including Beam while Minerva and Shane were in their formal business dresses. A few days ago, Archer asked him to free his schedule on this day which he readily obliged. Though he was so confused why he was included in the event of Grey Corporation, he contained his curiosity and trust in Archer. Archer is so quiet beside him while inside the vehicle. He seemed to be so lost in his thoughts and wasn't even aware that they had arrived. He remained unmoving while Beam just watched him. "Archer…" Beam called him softly after a long moment of silence. It's only by then, Archer turned to Beam with his confused lo
Everyone turned to look around as confusion ruled the plenary. Murmurs buzzed as the members tried to question each other of the documents in their hands. Daniel Grey raised his hand to silence everyone and gestured to Archer to continue. "The other matter of the agenda is the CEO's resignation as read" Archer continued, ignoring the questioning look of his brothers and the entire members. "I, Archer Grey, Chief Executive Officer of Grey Corporation, am rendering my resignation effective August 30, 2021. Eight years has been a fruitful time for Grey Corporation under my leadership. It's been an honor as the youngest son to lead this company my ancestors had built with blood and tears.
Archer stared at the old man who's a very close friend of his late grandfather. He heaved a sigh and looked around realizing he cannot escape anyone, especially his two brothers who are sharply staring at him."Everyone, I want you to meet someone" Archer casually spoke as he gestured to Beam to come to him. Beam confusedly stared at Archer for a while before he hesitantly stood up and slowly walked towards him."I want you all to meet Dr. Beam Miller" Archer presented Beam to everyone. Everyone's face shows the curiosity of the young doctor's presence and relevance to the CEO's decision to resign.Beam on the other hand stood rigidly in front of everyone's scrutinizing eyes while trying to be composed. Panic is consuming his confidence but the Grey family'
Archer and Beam are both so quiet inside the vehicle while on the way back to the mansion. Beam did not ask Archer all about what he heard during the meeting and chose to just wait for his explanation. Earlier at GC, after all the stockholders left the boardroom, the family remained and just talked for a while about what had transpired but no discussions about what Archer said about him and Beam until they all left to go home. The car came to a halt in front of the mansion and the huge oak double door was opened for them but no one moved to go out. Archer seemed to be still in deep thoughts while Beam is the same. "Everything I said in the meeting was all my plans. I didn't discuss it with you before the meeting because I still don't know the outcome"
"Mama Bee give hawth(heart) Theo again, pweathhh…" they have settled already on the bed and Beam was reading a bedtime story to Theo when the boy remembered to ask another sticker heart from his mama Bee. "Heart?" Beam confusedly asked as he stared at the boy's adorable face. Even Archer, who is replying to emails on his phone, turned to the two. "Theo hawt(heart) tuwn(torn). Theo Thad (sad)" the boy pouted sadly as he explained to his perplexed fathers. "What heart? Did you tear it? It's okay, mama Bee will buy many hearts tomorrow" Beam gently asked while he caressed Theo's cheek, promising the child with a smile. "No No tuwn(torn) Theo, Mith(Miss) Thery(Chery) tuwn(torn) hawthh mam
The first thing in the morning, Archer met with Earth and Carl together with their parents. They discussed the situation regarding Chery and the possibility of filing a case against her. Carl and Earth had the pertinent CCTV footage they needed as per the request of Archer the previous night. "I will meet with Hunt and Hunt at lunchtime to discuss the case" Archer seriously said while watching the video of the day Chery tore Theo's heart and how she pinched the boy on the cheek and legs. His face is so grim and dark, mirroring everyone. "I didn't have any hint of what that woman did to my boy" Archer added grimly. "We've been trying to make Theo happy, making him forget the absence of
Beam quietly watched the video Archer made him see. All are compilations of all the footage where Chery was hurting Theo, physically and emotionally. His eyes became misty until fresh tears started to fall seeing the miserable state of their son, crying while Chery was pinching his face, his stomach, his legs, and the hurtful words she was saying to the boy."Archer… our son endure this pain?" Beam whispered painfully. His eyes were fixed at Theo's pained face. He wanted to go inside the screen to comfort his son and slap away the triumphant smile from the woman's face."She was arrested this afternoon. She will pay for what she did" Archer grimly responded."How could she do this to a three-year-old? Our son endured so much it's breaking my heart, A
Chery's admittance and pleading guilty made her penance shorter than what Archer was aiming to have but with the help of his high caliber lawyers, they still managed to maximize the number of years of Chery's imprisonment. They were granted Chery's eight years imprisonment although Archer was aiming for twelve years.The whole family including Beam were already satisfied with the outcome of the case. After the grueling Court hearings, which were also shortened, they can now move forward with their lives.Today, the two fathers and their adorable son are heading to the Grey's beach house for a one-week vacation.Archer and Beam have matching white muslin shirts and pants while Theo is so adorable in his white cotton shirt and cream-colored shorts. They are all wea
Three years of living under the scrutiny of those few who still disdain their relationship. Three years of enjoying their life with their son, beloved family, and trusted friends. Three years of fruitful years for Dr. Beam Miller and CEO Archer Grey. Three years of celebrating their love as a happy family. Three years have passed and today, Grey Corporation and DelValle Group of Companies will open the door of the Touch of the Rainbow Paradise to the excited public. A large crowd has already gathered as they waited for the official opening of the biggest tourist attraction in the country today. Archer and Beam together with the DelValle family stood side by side facing the pool of people waiting for the grand opening. In front of several eyes, Archer
Theo is in Beam's arms while they walk towards a man who is so powerfully handsome for Beam's peace of mind.Beam chooses not to proceed but instead, he gestures to Theo to keep quiet as they sit down on the couch not far from that man. Theo thought they would be playing so he also stayed quiet and even put his index against his small lips."So what's your plan tonight Mr. Grey, I could accompany you, I'm so available" the lady who is trying her best to exude that alluring look waits for the man to acknowledge what she just suggested."I'm good, Miss...? What's your name again?" Archer asked even if he sounded unconcerned."Please call me Strawberry, Mr. Grey" the woman flutters her eyelashes and sweetly smile
Carl squinted his eyes at Archer who looked so pale while seated awkwardly at the couch. He dropped by to check on Theo but he found Archer at home. He continued to stare at his younger brother in silence before something dawned on him. "Beam got you good…" Carl muttered as he watched Archer's face grimace. "He is a beast too" Archer mumbled weakly without opening his eyes. Carl shook his head as he chuckled with Archer's awkward dilemma. "Have you taken a pill for pain?" Carl worriedly asked. "Yeah, I did. But I felt like I was beaten by ten men" Archer amusedly murmured. He felt miserable with his throbbing ass but
Even after a long moment, Archer can't stop thinking about what he discovered with the DelValle brothers. He stared at Park and Pete who are casually talking, with no trace of intimacy except for their tender look for each other. "Parkie looked like a hitman but he is as soft as cotton candy when it comes to Pete" Belle whispered to Archer when she caught him staring at the two men. Hearing what Belle said, Park glared at her but the woman just scoffed and rolled her eyes at him. She was never intimidated by Park. They were in a playful mood when Beam arrived but he stopped mid-step when he saw the woman on the table with Archer. "Dr. Belle Perez-DelValle?" Beam whispered in disbelief
Archer didn't see it coming, VMI has a son who is married to another man. After the VMI team left his office he remained to be thoughtful for quite a while together with his assistant and secretary. No one talked until Archer chuckled in pure disbelief. He was so worried about something he should not. After that day, Archer became more proactive. His team had overcome the threats of delays and the lack of suppliers. He had even made his team contact all suppliers to know their stand just to be sure that no more company would back out. The construction of the project is nearing and all was almost set. With the remaining months of preparation, the groundbreaking ceremony will be held. In two weeks the construction will start. One of the major investors of the project has al
Archer stared at the folders on his table. Three folders to be exact. He didn't talk for a long moment while his secretary was anxiously waiting at the side."These are all the proposals and quotations?" Archer calmly asked before he stared at the man who flinched on his feet."Ahm, it was actually seven, Mr. CEO, but we have narrowed it down. Those are the companies who met the requirements of the project" the secretary earnestly explained, even if he was nervous.Archer stared at him for a moment before he turned to the folders on his table. He is somewhat relieved that the response for the new bidding is quite good."Okay, I will review this and set an emergency meeting at two this afternoon. I
Beam went home early and he had already finished with his shower when Archer entered their bedroom looking so troubled. Instantly, he knew something was not right. Like him, his husband had a not-so-great day."Hello love, how was your day?" Beam walked to Archer who looked so worn out. He helped him loosen his tie and took off his coat."Not that great, love, but I'm fine, now that you are here with me" Archer playfully replied with a smile even if his face looked tired and haggard."Cheesy…" Beam scoffed but smiled sweetly at his husband."I'm not being corny, my day would always turn brighter, whenever you are around, Beam" Archer seriously muttered while caressing Beam's handsome face. B
Archer received his visitors at his office with his usual serious expression. Grey Corporation is about to sign a contract with the supplier of the glass materials for the Grey Hotel and Casino project that would be started in three months. It is so far the latest huge project of GC with another company as the investor. In two weeks the two companies will be signing the contract and three months after, the construction will be started.Archer has secured all contracts with different construction materials suppliers. The construction company that will handle the construction was also contracted and is a company under Grey Corporation.Today, he will be finalizing the contract with GlassCom Corporation as the supplier for all their glass materials."I noticed
A week after Beam and Archer's beach wedding, the family released some selected photos of the wedding to chosen few media companies. The photos are accompanied by a short letter of information regarding the event which shook those who have received it first."CEO Archer Grey married another man?" one of the media company presidents exclaimed in total disbelief. The photos are scattered on his desk as he stared at it in bewilderment. He was so stunned for a while before he snapped out.He hurriedly grabbed the phone on his desk and did his meticulous instruction to his staff to air the news instantly. He is not sure how many media companies the Greys have sent the documents but they need to act quickly. They have to be the first to report the greatest news that would surely shake the whole country.
