Chapter 127: Finding out the Truth - Part 2

*****************************

Jeffrey's mind is all over the place as he drive to the place that Jules the man who claims to be Axel's husband. They went to the registry and there he confirmed that Axel is indeed married to Jules and even the kids have been fully adopted by the man's family and is now sharing his surname.

"Pull over there, this is really not our home but more like well a temporary one."

Jeffrey went inside. "It's small, did Axel married a poor man?" Jeffrey asked out loud.

"Axel would have married me anyway even if I don't have any money." Jules simply said.

Jeffrey went in to every room in the small apartment to check but there's not even a single photos inside not until he reached the bed room where a man's polo is scattered on top of bed and there are photos on it. He picked it up and looked at it. In the photo, Axel is smiling while the man named Jules kiss his forehead as he hugs him.

"It was our wedding day. "Jeffrey looked behind." It can't even be called a wedding when all we did was registered as a married couple but once things settled I promise to give him a grand wedding. A wedding that many people will envy."

Jeffrey took one photo that is different than the others. "That one is his tattoo, he covered his mark with that telling me it's for my own protection."

"My beloved Jules." Jeffrey read.

"How much do you know about him?" Jeffrey asked.

"Everything, him being a killer, him who slept with a lot of men for the sake of his job and the fact that he might not get pregnant."

"And yet you married him…. So it's true, what he told me about you." Jeffrey continue to look at the photos.

"He must have missed me, he does this looking at our photos just so he can fall asleep….. I married him because I love him, regardless of who he was, who he is and who he will be. I know in myself that I'll love every version of him. Maybe that's the difference between me and Henry. But you can cut him some slack he is different than us." Jeffrey's eyes immediately went to Jules and in an instant he up his defenses. He immediately sense something from Jules the moment he said they are different from Henry but it was already too late Jules already made his move and managed to land a strong blow to his stomach which broke his defenses and the next thing he knew something hit the back of his head and everything went dark.

When he opened his eyes he's already tied to a steel chair that is fixed on the floor. "I'm sorry but I just need to take precautionary measures."

"Who are you?" Jeffrey asked.

"Jeff, I'm so sorry." Jeffrey look to his side and saw Axel. He's already inside the house. "I don't know what happened but my husband informed me that you are here. He refused to untie you."

"Who is he Axel?" Jeffrey asked once again.

"He's my husband Jules." Axel said. "Sweety refused to tell me everything he said he will explain once you're awake."

"Damn it Axel! You know that's not what I meant…"

"Like you, I also kill people but not just any people bad ones. People that are extremely bad. I'm from a special organization that deals with crimes that the Government can no longer handle." Axel tack in Jules shirt.

"Is it alright to reveal things as that to him?" Axel asked.

"Don't worry I have plans for him but of course it depends on his decision." Jules said, then he looked at him." Hey remember what I told you before? About Henry? The reason why that wack acted that way is because what you do before meeting him contradicts the principles of his job which is to save lives. He figures that the person my wife talking to was you and that involves the incident about the kids. I know it's unfair to act indifferent towards you because of that but cut him some slack. He is not like us who had killed a person."

"When he realized that what he did was wrong he went back but you were not there. He even asked for my help in finding you." Axel said.

"But he killed my child, he doesn't want anything to do with the baby I'm carrying." Jeffrey look away.

"Cause he cares more about you."; Axel said." Have you asked what situation you were in when they brought you?" Jeffrey went silent, he shake his head no.

"I only asked what happened to me and was informed that seemingly my supposed to be fiancé signed the weaver approving the termination of my pregnancy. Axel you know how it feels right? To be able to bear a life when you shouldn't have in the first place."Jeffrey retorted.

"Sweety what does he mean?" Jules suddenly asked.

"Don't tell me, he doesn't know? Or perhaps is the baby's father is Henry? Because as far as I know Henry knows. Is Henry your other man"Jeffrey suddenly asked.

"Sweety it's nothing like that, I can explain." Axel's went into a panic mode. He's afraid that Jules might get the wrong ideas.

"I'm not worrying about you and Henry having an affair. You love me so that wouldn't be possible and you're bonded to me. Now tell me about the baby."

"Hey you wouldn't even going to question his fidelity to you?"

"Shut up!" Axel shouted.

"Darling don't meddle with them." Jeffrey stilled after hearing that familiar voice.

"Good you're here. Handle your problem!" Axel said he's obviously pissed at what's happening.

"Axel now the cat's out of the box I think it's already time to tell him." Henry says.

"What is it that I need to know?" Jules asked. "Tell me, are you keeping things from me?" Jules asked again.

"Sweety….. Sweety promise me you won't get angry." Axel said as if he is begging.

"I've never seen Axel scared before." Jeffrey whispered.

"Then you need to see him often with Jules specially if it's something that will anger Jules." Henry answered back.

"The thing is, the thing is…"

"Like I told you he's pregnant." Jeffrey who couldn't stand watching Axel fidgeting and prolonging the inevitable finally said the answer again. "I just don't know if Henry is the father or not but obviously I think he is since he knows about the pregnancy and you on the other hand doesn't know about it."

"Wait, wait, you thought me and Axel?" Henry asked in disbelief.

"He thought you are his husband." Jules answered. "But I told him that I'm the husband but now he's saying you're the father of my baby but first…" Jules turn to Axel.

"So my unknown wife is?" Henry ask trying to clarify if what he heard was right.

"Yes he thought you and I are married." Axel sighed.

"Are you really pregnant?"

"Y-yes." Axel answered. "You're the father."

"I'm not doubting that I'm the father but why keep it to me?!" Jules shouted.

"You might not be the father though." Jeffrey said in a care free voice.

"So you're telling me that I'm cheating you with my patient is that it?" It was now Henry who's lashing out on Jeffrey.

"Why not?! You care about him more than you care about me!!! You took the life of our own child but how dare you care about his child if that child is not yours?!" Everyone in the room went silent. Only Jeffrey's laughter can be heard. "I get it, I already accepted it even way before then that Axel is always ahead of me. He always have the love and affection of those who I love but me I only get whats left after. So you don't have to lie…."

"I'm not lying, it's not my child." Jeffrey squat in front of Jeffrey so they can see eye to eye. "About our child, I made that decision because I don't want to lose you. I love our child and was happy to know you are pregnant…" Henry

rested his face on Jeffrey's lap that is being tied on the chair. "But the pregnancy carries more danger to both of you, your tube already tear and any moment was about to burst. It can't take the pressure of stretching brought by a growing child that's why you bled and felt an intense pain."

Henry lifted his face that is now wet from tears and looked at him with a sad red eyes. "I have to make a fast decision for both of you. I can't risk it Jeffrey. I don't want to lose you, I know you will hate me for what I did but I rather you hate me and feel that hate than not to see nor feel you. I'm so sorry, I really do."

"You said you love me, but why did you turn cold." Jeffrey's voice cracked.

"Axel often talks about you out of worry then I realized it was you who he keep on talking about. I hated you, I really do. All the pain that your selfishness had caused and all the lives which was lost due to your own greed but even though I hated you, I know in my heart I couldn't let go of you. I just need some time to accept things, that's all I need but when I was ready you disappeared. I was lost Jeffrey, it felt like I was waking up in the morning for the reason that I have to find you and bring you back to me." Jeffrey remained silent.

"You don't have to forgive me, let me earn it." Henry said.

"Unlocked these chains." Jeffrey commanded.

"If you untie him he might get away."

"I won't run away." Jeffrey immediately answered Jules assumption.

Henry move and signal Axel to give him the keys. Axel gave him the keys and unlocked Jeffrey's chains. Jeffrey got up and dust off his clothes. When he's done he faced Henry and open his palm as if asking him for something. "Keys." Jeffrey simply said. Henry gave him his car keys. "Let's go, lets leave the married couple to fix their marital problems." Jeffrey said when Henry didn't move he grabbed his hand literally hold his hand and dragged him out of that little apartment.

Jeffrey drives the car. "Why is his house far from yours?" Jeffrey asked. "Fuck I can't take this we won't be coming home tonight." Jeffrey whispered then a playful smirk appeared to his face. He hit the gas and Henry couldn't help but hold on tight. When they got out of the car Henry throw up because of too much speed and after throwing out he literally pass out. Jeffrey has to carry him on his back up to the room which he booked. He took a shower, after he's done he wipe clean Henry's body and lay next to him. Jeffrey was just watching him. "Can we really start over?" Jeffrey finally said in a low voice after almost 3 hours of just watching Henry.

"We can if you will give me a chance." Henry whispered, his eyes are still close.

"There are a lot of bad things I did which will make you disdain me. Even the time we are apart I slept around with other men, even with Victor again. I did it, even though it was very painful for me…." Jeffrey stopped talking when Henry pulled him into his arms and embrace him.

"We will leave all the things you have done from the past when we start over. Nothing which you have ever done even the bad things you did today will matter to me. I'm sorry if I ever made you feel that way. I'm sorry if I broke my promise, I'm sor-sorry that because of me you have to suffer again." Jeffrey can hear the cracking of Henry's voice and it breaks his heart to the point that the tears he learned how to hold back again finally broken free once again.

"It's painful here Henry, I want to call you but how when the cause of the pain I'm feeling is also you." Jeffrey finally broken down. "The pain I felt from their touch, kisses and thrust somehow makes me forget the pain which you caused me."

"That's enough, that's enough." Henry buried his face to Jeffrey's chest while crying and begging. Every words that comes out of Jeffrey's mouth are knives stabbing and killing his heart.

"Why loving someone always comes with pain." Jeffrey whispered.

"I'm so-sorry, I really am very sorry." Henry whispered, begging him for forgiveness.

"And even though I'm hurting I still seek for you. Why is that Henry? Tell me? Was it because of our bond? What if I do what Nash did?" Henry stopped crying after hearing what Jeffrey just said.

"Then kill me now." Henry simply said. "Rather than seeing you in that state nor not feeling you any longer I would rather for you to kill me now."

"You know I can't do that, I can only harm myself and the people around me but not you." Jeffrey wipe the tears away from Henry.

"I also feel the same. Please give me a chance. One last chance, I'll do anything."

Jeffrey intently look into his eyes as if searching for any trace of pretense, searching for any clue of lies but after locking eyes for a minute Jeffrey averted his eyes away from Henry. "You'll do anything?" Jeffrey asked.

"Yes I'll do anything, even if you tell me to jump from this heights I will.... I will."

"Then marry me..."

"Yes of course!" Henry immediately answered but then he went silent after his answer. "Wait what?" He whispered in a low voice.

"Marry me…." Jeffrey said again with no expression. "Why? Don't you want to marry me? You can't do that?"

"Will that put you at ease? What's your reason for asking me to marry you?" Henry asked.

Jeffrey laughed out loud as if Henry just crack the funniest joke he had ever heard. "You could have answered yes or no it's the traditional response when someone ask you to marry them right but your response is a question….." Jeffrey sighed. "I guess it isn't easy to answer when it is me…. Hhhmmmmpppp."

Jeffrey was caught off guard when Henry's lips crash on him. His tongue is fast it didn't waste time and start exploring his mouth which made Jeffrey's knees week. It was the first kiss in a long time that he had. He never kiss the people he slept with after Henry. At first Jeffrey didn't move, he was calculating things and thinking of various reasons why Henry is kissing him but when Henry start releasing his Pheromones his mind became clouded and all his reasoning start fading away.

"Hhhhmmmmm." Jeffrey moan in between the kiss, he's getting addicted to the pleasure of Henry's kisses giving him but the pleasure didn't last long when Henry pulled out. He was catching his breath looking at him.

"It is an easy answer to give when it comes to you but if you will marry me I want it to be for love. Jeffrey I love you, I don't know when but all I know is I love you."

"Then marry me…." That's the only answer that Jeffrey can utter to Henry's confession.

"Then do you love me?" Henry asked.

"Do I have to love you to marry you?" Jeffrey response in a way that doesn't really answer anything.

"Then do you hate me?" Henry asked but this time the opposite of his first question.

"I do, I do hate you so much…. But still marry me, be tied to me and forever ask for my forgiveness..... forever begged me to love you" Tears begun flowing from Jeffrey's poker face.

Henry embrace Jeffrey. "Yes I will, I will marry you. I will forever ask for your forgiveness till your anger subsides so you can love me freely again without the hate. This time you won't be the second one, I'll make you first in everything."

"I will have all the rights." Jeffrey added.

"Yes you will." Henry's answer to his statement.

"Even with your money and properties?"

"All my wealth is yours Darling."

"Your body and dick?" Jeffrey asked with a serious face

Jeffrey's question made Henry laugh though he shouldn't but he finds it cute just how naturally obsessive Jeffrey is. Henry caress Jeffrey's face "My whole me is yours, even my dick."

"Just make sure or else I'll cut it! Even when I die you are not allowed….."

"You're not going to die, you will grow old with me. So please don't mention anything about dying... it's making me worried and really scared. Henry said averting his eyes away from Jeffrey but Jeffrey held it up so their eyes can meet before slamming his own lips to him.

"You're mine…" Jeffrey whispered in between their kissing. "All mine."

Henry lifted up Jeffrey and straddle his legs around his waist. They continued kissing till they both reach the bed. Henry gently lay Jeffrey on the bed, he got up and took off his shirt and unbuckled his pants. Jeffrey on the other hand quickly undressed himself. He immediately lay down again and spread his legs widely revealing his pulsating dripping wet entrance. "Hurry put it in." Jeffrey said almost as if he's begging.

"No Darling we need to stretch you, it has been so long…."

"It was never long for me…. I told you I slep….."

"You don't really need to tell me that." Henry said with a sad hint in his eyes.

Jeffrey got the reason why Henry suddenly acted that way so he closed his legs once again and seated.

"What are you doing?" Henry asked.

"Dressing, I know I'm disgusting…. I always resorted in sleeping around whenever I get hurt by the person I love….. I know it's wrong but it's the only way I know….." Henry kissed Jeffrey and pushed him down. He spread Jeffrey's legs apart and settled in between.

Jeffrey couldn't contain his moans even though someone already knocked from the next room because of the thin walls Jeffrey couldn't stop, till reach his peak.

"You're not disgusting, more like I feel disgusted towards how I reacted when I learned about you. I told you that I want to marry you and I couldn't even accept you fully. I have judge you but me myself had done disgusting things too. I'm such a hypocrite."

Jeffrey who's still catching his breath listen carefully to Henry. His words somehow managed to lift up some of his worries though not all. Jeffrey has a lot of insecurities bottled up. He has always been the second no, he has always been the last choice. So hearing Henry somehow felt reassuring to him. "Jeffrey, Darling I want to start over with you. Please say yes." Henry held his hand and place tiny and light kisses on them.

"Please say yes in marrying me. Please make me your Mrs. Choi, Henry." Though it was already answered by Henry earlier Jeffrey ask him once again.

"Yes I will marry you, the title of Mrs. Choi can only be yours."

Jeffrey nodded his tears are racing down. "Then let's start over, I'll hate you forever and you can only love and beg me forever."

"Yes I will, if your hate means that you love me then I'll gladly accept it." Henry got on top of Jeffrey. "Now open your legs wide and welcome me inside."

The two made love for a couple of times before they stopped because of the complaints they got from the next rooms.

Jeffrey has been awake for an hour now, he's just watching Henry sleeping. Then he begun to hum in a low voice almost like a whisper….

🎤It took one look

And forever lay out in front of me

One smile, then I died

Only to be revived by you🎤

he begun singing, it is more like a song he just happen to over heard that got stuck to him. Whenever he tries to find Henry and watches him from afar he just find himself singing that song. Maybe perhaps it explains how he is when it comes to Henry.

🎤There I was

Thought I had everything figured out

Goes to show just how much I know

'Bout the way life plays out🎤

He used to sing it from a far but funny now that he is singing it in front of a sleeping Henry

🎤I take one step away

Then I find myself coming back to you

My one and only

One and only you

Ooh🎤

Yes just like what the song says he always find himself coming back to him. He doesn't know if it's because they are bonded or it's maybe because he fell hard and deep this time. Harder and deeper than how he loved Victor back then.

————————————-

A/N:

The song was from a local band here called Parokya ni Edgar the title is Your Song…. It is the band I grow up with and to be honest almost all their songs I really love (my fellow 90's Filipino please back me up.) KKKYYYYAAAA! Ow this is also one of my favorites but I have a lot of their songs that I really love but they are all in tagalog not in English.

————————————-

Jeffrey sighed, he made a huge mess this time. He knows if he break things off with Victor and the man finds out it was all because of Henry. He know for sure that Victor will use Henry to threat him to not leaving and to continuously use him.

"What to do, what to do?" Jeffrey whispered. "Your safety is the priority, once you're married to me there's no going back." Jeffrey trace Henry's face with his finger.

When he heard his phone vibrate he reach out to it and read what was written. He sighed and took his clothes and put them on. He scribbled some notes before placing a kiss to Henry's lips and leave the room.

**************************

Axel and Jules are not talking to each other. After the troublesome couple left they two tried to settled the issue about the pregnancy.

Axel tried to reason out without giving away on how dangerous the pregnancy is.

"Are you still angry?" Axel asked.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jules asked.

"I'm sorry, I was trying to make sure that the baby is ok, I don't want you to be disappointed…"

"You're lying. Tell me the truth….. Now!" Jules shouted.

"The baby, the baby developed outside, it's dangerous for me and the baby…. I know you won't agree but I don't want to give up." Axel sniffed as he speaks, the more he speaks the more his voice breaks.

"How dangerous?" Jules pale after hearing it.

"Very…. It can cause me my life…"

"Let's terminate it…."

"You can't the baby is already almost in its 6th month now."

"You're unfair." Jules took a deep breathe, he look so beat after hearing everything.

"I'm sorry, I'm really am…"

"If the Doctor will ask me to choose just know that it will be you who I'll choose." Jules didn't wait for Axel to answer. He stormed out of their house leaving Axel alone and crying.
