Semua Bab Words That Bind: Author-sama Loves Me: Bab 91 - Bab 100

The last time I’d seen this much crowd was when Ben invited me to his company’s anniversary, but an art exhibition launch pulled more crowd than an anniversary. I wondered if it’s because of whom their family was or if it was just Lucas.There were a lot of important public faces among the guests we greeted this night, even the mayor of the city and his wife.“There are a lot of people.” I whispered to Azrael as I drank my sprite to hide my inability to hold my liquor.“Leslie loves a big splash. It helps his confidence.” Azrael replied. “Has your family arrived?”“No. I’ve been trying to reach my dad or Ancel, but nothing.”“We can wait. I’m sure they’re on their way.”Kioko came out from the crowd in a gorgeous green kimono that complimented her hair ornaments. She adjusted Azrael’s suit and hugged him before she touched my cheek.“Where’s your son?” Kioko asked.“He’s with his dad and grandparents for the entire week. We wouldn’t stay more than an hour here if we brought him with u

Leslie No one answered the doorbell. I tried to ring Azrael again, but he wasn’t picking up my calls and I was worried. I got a taxi that tracked down my wristwatch back to Azrael’s house, or I wouldn’t know where to look for him.“Why won’t you talk to me?” I whispered.My fingers trailed down the security lock, and I dialled my birthday. The door opened, and I didn’t hesitate to enter.I dropped my shoes at the side and wore the slippers.The first sight that greeted me was the mess trailing to the other room. Broken glasses, dirt, furniture, and Azrael’s glasses had a crack on it.I picked it up and entered the living room, where I was greeted with an immense hole in the TV. The table was flipped upside down and Azrael sat at the foot of the couch with an empty bottle of alcohol in his hand.“Azrael.” I stayed at the door of the room.Azrael glared at me and threw the bottle across the room, shattering the bottle, and smiled.“Hey kid. Sorry about the mess.” He ap

The night was chilly, and I headed for Azrael’s private house after an awesome day with my dad. Lucas’ reappearance in his life postponed his departure to the end of the week and he was interested to know how I was living.He was staying at a hotel not very far from Kioko’s property.“I’m back!” I announced as I took off my shoes.I was so grateful Ben agreed to take an entire week to watch Nikolaus for me so we can get everything a little under control.Azrael sat in the kitchen, making something that smelt delicious with the table set and full of several dishes.“It smells so delicious. My senses are excited.” I praised him and hugged him from behind.Azrael set the steamed vegetables on a plate and hugged me.“It should be. I put a lot of effort into making everything; you’ve been looking a little pale.”“I’m just tired.”“How was work?”Azrael carried the plate and headed for the table.“I took a half day so I could go on a date with my dad. He came by the office and the company i

LeslieThe doorbell rang, so I opened the door to find Ben standing with a fruit basket.“I need a favour.” Ben pleaded.“What can I help you with?”“Can you watch Lennon for me? I can’t ask my parents because of the situation with Isaac.”“They didn’t take the news too well?” I asked, and Ben nodded.“Dad mostly. Mom knew this day would come after Isaac said he’d look for his mom. I think they forget Isaac is an adult that can make his own decisions. Isaac has always been dad’s favourite.”“Let’s not go that side.” I informed Ben. “So, how long should I watch him?”“Nine days. I’m going on a business trip.” Ben explained and handed me a card. “I told the day-care you’ll be picking him up. The day-care closes by two so you can pick him up.”“Nine days, huh? That is a long time. I wonder if it’s just business.”Ben chuckled. “Six days of work, three days of vacation. It’s a win-win. I need to enjoy being a single bachelor.”I collected the basket, and Ben kissed my cheeks. He walked ba

Azrael came home with a sour look on his face. I knew that look.“I’m guessing things didn’t end well.” I said as I fed Lennon.“Good news is Lucas is very forgiving to my mom, though this is a record, or your dad has good negotiating skills. The bad news—my parents are getting a divorce.” Azrael replied.I was dumbfounded.“They are getting a divorce?” I asked, and Azrael nodded.“It was bound to happen. They lasted longer than announced. When I graduated from university, they were going to divorce but they kept dragging on. They built their relationship on pain, an unhealthy dependence and an unrequited love that never had hope, it what’s they need, especially Kioko. I’m glad they made this decision together.”“How do you feel about everything?”Azrael heaved. “So much as happened in such a short time, it’s difficult to explain. Finding out Isaac is my brother; Valentin is Lucas’ mate, Kioko faking documents for Isaac to stay dead and my parents’ divorce. I’m stressed.”I burped Len
