Chapter 48: Strengthening of the Family Bond-1

"Lee honey." Dexter was really surprised, he wasn't really expecting it cause he knows just how busy Lee is but to see him panting, sweating as he comes barging at the door he can tell that the man came in a hurry.

"Dexy are you alright?" Charles told me you came with a man. Did he abducted you? Did he force you to come? Are you hurt?" Lee keeps on asking while checking him for any injuries.

"Wait who is this guy Dexter?" Danny asked. Lee looked at him and the man his worried face became serious and hurt like he was betrayed.

"Dexy don't tell me...."

"No don't say it Lee. That's not my man that's my brother!" Dexter sighed then Lee quickly hide Dexter behind his back.

"You can't take Dexter away from me! If you want to have him you will need to get through me!" Lee declared asking for a fight.

"Wait Lee honey they are not taking me away from you. They are just apologizing. They won't take me away from you ok?" Dexter caress Lee's face and like a puppy Lee calmed down. "Now go sit over there and behave." But before Lee followed Dexter he extended his hand to Dexter's brother. "I'm Lee Shun, I'm sorry for what I did earlier brother." The man accepted his hand and apology. Lee also pay respect to Dexter's father. He stayed there for a couple of minutes before he leave for his meetings.

"Is that really the man who got you pregnant? If I look at you too I might have mistaken him to be the wife between you too." Danny asked. Dexter who's peeling the apples laughed. That's just how he is only to me but to other people hhhhmmm I think he's crazy. I rarely sees him act seriously and whenever he does he looks so scary." Dexter describe Lee the best way he can that his family will understand.

"You found a good man." Dexter smiled at his father.

"Yes I did an I'm glad I gambled to this. So how's your business?" The smile on his father's lips vanished.

"It's not doing good son. You see your brother's second wife took advantage the company and had it involved in a big issue of embezzlement to her father's business. We lost Millions of money just to pay far the damages so they won't put your brother's to jail. We agreed to settle it, we also lost the trust of the investors and the company is barely holding on. Your brother and his second wife are already divorced. Well it was not all bad for him cause Angela his first wife tried to help him. They are back together, pity we learned things a little bit late. This might have been a karma to us for all our wrong doings." His father explained. "Son how was your meeting? Did they agreed?"

"No father, they said that they can't trust a company like us that have such issue." Danny said.

"I guess we really don't have much choice now." Dexter learned a lot of things that day and it got him thinking that people can change depending on the circumstances given but he's glad that his family change for the better maybe all the harsh things they went through are way for them to realize things.

"Dexy you should sleep now, it's not good for you or the baby if you stay up late." Lee pulled Dexter and put his arms under Dexter's head.

"Lee honey, I know this is kind of unfair but can you pull some strings. I mean help my brother's company land a project in a fair way. I'm not saying give to him the project just because he's my brother but I just want it to be fair. I think they are not landing to one because of the company's tarnish name and reputation."

"Sure anything for my honey. I'll call my friend, they will be able to give fair judgement. Make sure your brother prepare something nice and peculiar." Dexter got up and kissed Lee.

"Thank you Honey....." Lee was happy to see Dexter this happy now that finally his family seems to be changing for the better but Dexter is still very careful. He asked him not to reveal his identity. He wanted to see if his family really had changed. He doesn't want them to use Lee.

Next morning Dexter received a call from his brother excitedly telling him that some big shot company is asking for his proposal. Dexter felt happy that he was able to help his brother he just hope that his brother's proposal will be the one that will be chosen.

"Dexter are you disrespecting your superior? Why did you talked back to him yesterday and then suddenly run off!" Dexter's manager is flaring up in anger.

"He's not even my boss but he keeps on prying with my personal life, specially about my pregnancy!" A loud slap echoed to the office everyone are already staring at them.

"Who gave you a permission to talked back to me?" Dexter can feel the great pain cause by the sudden struck to his cheek after all his manager is still a man himself. "You got angry of the fact that you are being fuck by an alpha when you yourself is an alpha and that bastard child is the proof of your shamelessness!" Dexter pulled the man's collar.

"Don't talk to me like I'm whoring myself to just any Alpha out there!" Dexter shouted.

"Why isn't it true? Just how many alpha did you let to fuck you for you to end up getting knocked up?" Dexter can no longer take it and punched his supervisor.

"It was only one and he's married to me. So don't talk to me like you know me cause you don't." The supervisor got up and punch Dexter back.

"Woah why is no one stopping them?!" Oliver shouted he just got in the office together with Dillan when they noticed that people are already crowding in when they got nearer they heard Dexter shouted at their boss and the next thing they know their superior who's on the floor came charging towards Dexter. Oliver shielded Dexter who's already on the floor and Dillan hold back their boss and the other two men who also join in the fight.

Lee decided to take a look at his wife while working. He just happen to pass by the area and decided to take a visit so he went to the department's office of the branch where Dexter was assigned. Everyone was busy talking against Dexter when he got there everyone stand up after his secretary introduce him. Everyone are agitated to be caught off guard. Nobody was expecting for their boss to take a visit unannounced and the unexpected fight between Dexter and their boss happe. Lee was confused cause everything are in disarray, all the employees are not on their seats and when they saw him they start dispersing and there he saw Dexter sitting on the floor, lips bleeding with Oliver who's like helping him to stand up, Dillan was holding someone and the girl body guard he assigned was on top of the another man and in an act of punching someone. After digesting the situation Lee's blood quickly boils but he didn't let them see it, he loosen his tie and sit in one of the office tables. As far as I can seeI there was an incident happened here. Can anyone explained it to me?"

The supervisor began explaining his side pointing all the blame to Dexter. Telling his how disgraceful and disgusting to have such employees working their. He doesn't follow and he disrespect his superior. Everyone agrees with the supervisor and not one took Dexter's side except for his friends of course.

"Do you know Dexter's whole name?" Lee asked.

"Sir!" Dexter shouted but Lee gave him a sharp look and Dexter knows he can no longer argue with him.

"Dexter Mejia Shun." One of the employees answered. Lee laughed.

"You didn't even noticed? Didn't he told you all that he's married?" Lee asked.

"But Sir clearly that man is a slut! I don't even know just how many Alphas he let him in to his dirty hole! He just let himself get fuck even though he's an Alpha.

"Have you guys ever thought who might be fucking him this whole time?" Lee was already tapping his fingers on the table.

"No one wants to answer?" Lee got up and start walking slowly. "Think carefully his whole name." After sometime one employee gasp and quickly said sorry to him while crying. Lee only laughed to her reaction.

"I was expecting to see something pleasant to the eye that's why I hurriedly went here. I was even skip walking because of too much excitement but I wasn't expecting to see such a scene" Lee continued to talk.

"But it was all his fault!" The supervisor insisted. "It's against the office moral and ethics for an Alpha slut you sleeps with different alpha to work here! We don't even know how many Alphas who fck his dirty hole. The shame that our company could face if others found out that we let such a disgraceful person work here. Sir you need to understand I was only doing this for the company's good reputation. Also that man doesn't follow not respects his superior."

"You wanted to know how many Alphas who fuck my WIFE's dirty hole? You want to know? It's just me, I'm his first and I will also be the last one. The baby is mine and not a bastard, I marry Dexter and he is legally tied to me. He never whore himself to anyone. These are the things all you people want to know right? You keep on prying to Dexter's personal afair, why can't you just respect him? What's so wrong with him loving an Alpha like me? What's so wrong with him to carry my own blood with him? Will that make him disrespectful? Will that make him any less of an Alpha just because he fell in love with an Alpha like me? Do you even know just how long we have waited for that baby? We even got to the point that we accepted that we will not be able to be parents but after a long time of waiting our baby. You hypocrites you all act so clean and yet you people are the ones who hides more dirt in their closets. Don't you think that I do not know that you house a mistress and got lots of women pregnant?" Lee shouted at the top of his lungs. The shock on the supervisor's eyes is very evident.

"Ow yes I have run an investigation to all of you! I won't let my wife work to an environment that I know nothing of. I even know what's happening inside the office. I tolerated it cause I thought it was harmless but you harming him physically is another thing."

"I want you all gone after I leave this room!" Lee went over to Dexter's side and pulled him. Dexter start hearing cries so he turn his head mouther don't worry before the two totally disappeared from the eyes of the crowd.

"The President is angry with us. What do we do now? I still need kids to feed." Said the woman

"My family is only relying on me, what should I do. It's all your fault sir!" The people in the room directed their anger to the supervisor.

"Dexter is not like that. Don't worry, he did said that right? So don't worry." Oliver tried to calm down the crowd.

"The President listens to him." Dillan seconded.

"How would the president will listen to a lowlife unknown Alpha?!" The supervisor asked. The people start whispering in worries again.

"Well unlike you the president is a loving husband. Ow you're a cheating bastard I forgot so there's no use in explaining it to you."

"Lee honey calm down..." Dexter hold less arms trying to calm him down. Lee's grip to the steering wheel didn't loosen up.

"Let me drive. You can't drive when your high with your emotions." Lee pulled over not because he wanted to switch seats but because he wanted to let all his frustrations out.

"You're worried about my driving but you are not even worried even for a bit to you and our baby's welfare!" Lee shouted, never once in their almost 6 years relationship did Lee ever raised his voice to Dexter only now. "You know I won't stop you doing a fist fight cause I know just how much manly you are and I know you never lost to one but please think of our child at least. You are in a very delicate phase of your pregnancy and here you are brawling with some man. What it something happened to you and the baby? It you can't do it for me at least do it for our baby. " Lee took Dexter's hand and kiss it. "We waited for so long for this right? You don't want to loss our baby over some unworthy people." Dexter is so proud with just how much Lee grow to be so mature.

"I'm sorry Lee honey. But I didn't brawl with him, I slapped him cause he was saying nasty things about you and our baby. You know just how easily loss my sht if it involves you and our baby. Then he suddenly punch me for shouting at him. I'm sorry if I acted on my own, I should have just told you and let you deal of it silently." Lee didn't answer he just went down to Dexter's belly and simply hug it.

"Your mother is so stubborn, he's the one acting so childish now. He's the one giving me headaches now. Can you tell him not to make Daddy worry. My heart almost drop when I saw your mother hurt." Dexter patted Lee's head.

"Baby can you tell Daddy that Mommy is sorry and that he won't do it again so that Daddy can forgive him now." Dexter said. He knows it sounds childish but he likes how they use their unborn child as a bridge to reconcile with each other....

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

Weeks pass and Teakyun and Theo finally got their go signal to travel back. No one was more excited that Lee himself cause he will finally be able to have more time with Dexter who's already in his fourth month.

"Theo! I missed you son!" Rebecca hug Theo as soon as she saw him at the airport. "So did your parents forgave this stupid son of mine? If they still haven't maybe it's time to also use my and Dong-ha's charm. What do you say dear?" Theo laugh with what his Mother in-law just told him.

"No need Mom, I already handled them. We all agreed that our second marriage will happen after Theo gave birth." Teakyun explained.

"Ow I forgot about the baby, I wasn't expecting this. Just a few years ago I already accepted the fact that I won't have any grandchildren but look what we are going to have now two babies! How long have you been expecting dear?"

"2 months mother." Theo gladly announced.

"Dexter is already in his fourth month just five more months then we will be able to hold another Baby Dong-ha and seven more months then another baby again, I can't believe!" Rebecca turned to his husband.

"yeah I know dear, maybe we can have our grandchildren stay with us while their parents go and make more babies...."

"Dad! our child hasn't even been born yet and here you are telling us to go make another one!"

Dong-ha raised his eyebrow to his son. "Why scared of children? Between you and Lee you are the one who doesn't want kids. Lee and Dexter are both having a hard time conceiving one and yet when I talk to your brother he's hoping to have another one, just one more so that their child could have someone to play with."

"Dad it's ok, Teakyun is not just ready for another one yet beside we still have this one here inside." When the two finally arrived and was left alone in Teakyun's flat he instantly gave Theo a back hug and rested his chin above Theo's shoulder

"Do you want a big family?" Theo rested both of his hands above Teakyun's hand that were placed on his stomach. "Yeah, I came from a big family and I must say it is so much happier whenever I hear my brother's voice, whenever I feel lonely there is always someone who's ready to listen to me. Everyday doesn't feel boring. Also their presence helps me greatly in overcoming my trauma with what happened. But if you don't want to we can always settle with one child what matter is that we are a family now."

"I'm sorry, I just don't know if I could be a good father. I even fail to be a good husband to you." Theo turned around and cupped Teakyun's face.

"You will going to be a great father." Theo smiled at him. "Don't ever doubt yourself, ok?"

"What good did I ever do to deserve someone like you?" Teakyun smiled before placing as light kiss on Theo's lips. "As much as I want to stay with you but I need to go to the office now."

"Go do your job and go home early." Theo pushed Teakyun.

"Aye, Aye Sir."

Teakyun drive himself to the office where he saw Lee busy with papers.

"Brother!" Lee got up and gave his brother warm welcome.

"When did you arrived? Why didn't you even tell me that you will be arriving today?" Lee asked.

"I asked Mom and Dad not to tell you. I was planning on surprising you." Teakyun explained.

"Now that you are here I guess it's better if I go home early to my Dexy." Lee immidiately walk pass Teakyun only for him to be grabbed back by his brother.

"Nope not yet mate! I still need to know what are the status of our businesses. What happened while I was gone."

"All the reports are on my table and the files and documents are in my laptop just go open it and peruse it yourself. I need to go!"

"Wait right here!" Teakyun grabbed him again.

"What! I want to visit my wife."

"Visit?" Teakyun asked.

"Well one of your subordinate shamed and hit my wife, I was really furious so I told them the truth and fired the person who hit Dexy. I was even planning of firing everyone if it weren't for Dexy. So in the end Dexy stop working there and decided to help his brother with their family business. I know he will be much safer working there cause his brother can keep an eye to him so I agreed." Teakyun sighed.

"Just help me a little here then I'll let you take a leave for a week...."

"A month." Lee cut him off.

"You can't take a month off there are still a lot of things that needs to be done. We will be entering a new venture you know that." Teakyun tried to reason out.

"Brother I did try to help straighten your crumpled relationship with your in laws now that my in-laws are here I also want to have a good relationship with them. Please help me out with this. I want to have a good impression at the same time I want to keep an eye on them." Nothing can stop Lee if ever Teakyun won't agree.

"Ok ok just a month I'll just have you come for important matters for the rest you can just work from home." Lee hug his brother although originally he wanted to take worth 2 months leave but with their business expanding he knows he can't take the liberty to be lazy.

"I have to go now. Say hi to Theo for me." Lee said while running towards the door.

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

"Fox....." Axel was standing outside the gate of his home which Aiden has given him. He looked to where the voice came from and found a man who's leaning to his motorbike. He looks so dashing and manly with his black leather jacket and white shirt paired with riped jeans.

"I told you not to call me that." Axel turned his head back to the door where he inserted the key inside.

"Well that suits you." Jules walk towards Axel till he's standing side to side with him and there he leaned to whisper to his ear. "Cause you are as sly as one."

Axel turned his head not even moving a flinched when they have seen eye to eye. Their face as just inches apart, he can feel the warmth to Jules breath.

"If I'm a fox then you must be a turtle. You're common sense is a little slow that you can't even read between the lines. Fuck off." Axel turned the knob and opened the door. He went inside but unexpectedly Jules invited himself in.

"You really don't have a shame in your body do you?" Axel sarcastically said.

"I don't." Jules answered. Axel angrily turned and cornered Jules.

"Ow I didn't know that you could be this aggressive." Jules taunt.

"What do you want? I'm not playing with you." Jules can tell that Axel is serious and that what's making the Omega so much interesting.

"I don't know I just find you interesting." Axel put his hands down and sighed.

"Do what you want just don't bother us. Don't get to attached with the kids. I'm getting tired of threatening you it seems it doesn't work and hurting doesn't work either. Just a waste of energy." Axel shake his head.

"I know you don't have any work right now except for doing things for that Aiden kid. Why don't you join us, be an undercover agent." Axel looked at him.

"I promise to start a new I don't want to go back to anything that involves fighting, hacking and killing." Axel immidiately answered.

"What about Aiden? You do all those things under his command."

"He's different, I owe him with something besides he doesn't asks me to kill someone or even use my body to get the job done." Axel explained.

"Use you body?" Jules was a little bit surprised.

"Are we really going to talk at the doorway or do you want to come in, sit, drink coffee as we talk about this things?" Jules followed Axel. They settled in the kitchen where Axel brewed two cups of coffee.

"I know you already got a hint on what am I." Axel was the first one to break the silent.

"With the kind of skills that you have I think you are involved with the kind of illegal thing." Axel smiled.

"Yeah you can say that. I used to kill for people and people's lives is my job. That depends on what kind of job there are times where we have to use our body. That involves dirty things. I have done all those things. The moment I got out I told myself that I won't involved myself again with that kind of job." Jules didn't know that Axel's story is far more deeper than what it appears to be. He thought that he's just some sort of an assassin who happens to have nowhere to go but it was much deeper than that.

"How about I introduce you to a job that is more of an office base. That doesn't involve with those kind of things."

"Why are you helping me? Why are you being nice to the kids?"

Jules stand up. "Maybe because you make a good cup coffee. Since Aiden doesn't need your skills for a moment how about working along side with me be my eyes and ears."

Axel laughed. "Let me think about it."

"You should smile genuinely more often. You look pretty." Jules praise for a moment Axel thought the world stops and the only thing he can hear is the loud beating of his heart. For the first time someone praise him not because of sexual attraction but because he really think that he's pretty even with just a simple smile not because he's wearing lewd things bearing his nakedness.

"Such a sweet talker, just save it to those you want to bed."

"Well bedding you is not what I would want." Jules finally left but for an unknown reason Axel felt upset when Jules said he doesn't want to bed him.
