Chapter 10: The Love that Died

Theo wipe his tears away. He looked at Lee. "Can you take care of him from here?" Lee nodded. "Great! Lee I'm sorry but I think I need to go now. I will make up to you but I can't stay here any longer."

"Lance, Adrian. Please look after my brother I'll send Them home. He can't go home by himself in the middle of the night. If my Honey ask just tell him what happened and where I went. I'll explain everything later to you Adrian." Lee quickly got his keys and run after Theo who is already out on his way.

"Theo, come on let me take you home." Lee grab Theo's bag that is full of clothes for his three days stay. Theo didn't argue and just got inside the car. He quietly sat there while silently crying not saying anything about what happened earlier so as Lee. He doesn't want to bombard his friend with questions cause he knows that what happened today is just too much for the Omega.

"Do you think what I did is right? After all these years I avoided asking anything about him cause I know it will only hurt me to know. So I went on living my life like nothing happened and it made me happy somehow thinking he is happy too, but after seeing him like that today. I didn't know he was carrying all that burden." Theo cried while biting his nails a habit of his whenever he feels extreme emotions surging in.

"I think you did the right decision for yourself. For more than a decade you have been making your decisions base on my brother's welfare and happiness but for the first time that day I saw a different Theo. The Theo who learned how to stand up for himself, the Theo who is selfish enough to think about himself for once. I take pity on him but he brought that all to himself. So don't blame yourself if you only did that so you can be happy at the same time to give him the chance to find other person other than you to love. You have been brave enough to let go the man that you love so he could find his true happiness and love. It's not your fault if he is miserable right now because of you."

Lee hold Theo's hand. "Don't think too much ok? Leave everything to fate and destiny. If you two are for each other then no matter what you will be for each other. Don't push it if you are not ready and if you no longer really wanted to then don't come back. No one is asking you to come back to him. No one is forcing you not even me nor my parents. Don't come back out of guilt it won't make your relationship with him any better. If you decided to come back make sure it's for love and not because you feel guilty about it." Lee glanced at Theo who seemed to calm down a little.

"Do you still love my brother?" Theo was silent he didn't say anything till he shake his head no.

"No, I don't. I feel pity towards him but I don't think I still love him. I'm happy and contented with my life now. I don't know when it happened I just woke up one day that I no longer looking for him, I miss him sometimes but this heart no longer longs for him or maybe because my love for him stops the moment my original heart stopped beating and was replaced with another one." Theo jokes.

"We all know that's not true, such things only happens in movies. It was truly a miracle that you got a last minute donor. Not that I'm grateful that your cousin died but somehow I'm still am." Lee said.

"Yeah me too. I'm sad with what happened but I'm thankful that I somehow end up getting his heart with the little time that I have back then. Enough to do all the testings and all. I'm quite lucky am I?" Theo smiled.

"Yeah you are indeed one lucky son of a bitch." The two men laugh.

"Yes indeed, that's why I promised myself not to let other people hurt my heart again maybe that's also the reason why my love for him died, I'm just too scared of falling in love again only to get hurt and played at. It's hard to give your whole self to the person you love and trusted the most only for them to break not just your trust but also the heart that you gave for that special person." Theo leaned his head to the side of the car while he looks at the lights of the streets.

"Don't push yourself. If there is nothing then there's nothing. Don't let your guilt rush you to a decision that you will only regret in the end. Don't come back to him if you no longer loves him. Just live on your life in a way that will make you happy. I will try to keep your secret as long as I can. Don't worry too much ok? I'm on your side."

"Thank you Lee. Always for sticking with me."

"That's what friends are for. Don't think too much ok?" Theo nodded.

Adrian nodded. "So please keep this a secret. You know what happened to him right? He is happy now living his life in the way that he wanted it. No one is restricting him anymore. After all these years I have never seen Theo this happy and free than he was before. So please do this for him." Lee beg, he talked and explained to Adrian everything after he sent Theo home.

"Teakyun will going to end up getting hurt even more if he knows and still push it through cause Theo no longer loves him." Lance added. Lee's eyes landed on Lance.

"How did you know?" Lee asked.

"It's obvious, Theo's eyes no longer showed that same emotions when he talks about Teakyun. Before just the mentioned of that man's name his eyes sparkles even during that time he run away and live with Terrence for months he talked about him with so much love even though it was a painful kind of talk. Maybe the thing he has with him now is just pity. My wife used to have those eyes that says I don't care about you anymore when we lost our baby and that is one of the most painful stares I got from him. Teakyun will only going to end up hurting himself if ever he knows about that." Lance explained.

"So we are just going to keep it a secret from him?" Adrian asked.

"It's for the best. Theo has his own life now and he doesn't want my brother to be a part of it." Lee explained.

"That sucks that's Why I will never going to fall in love." Adrian declared.

"Now, now be careful with what you are saying or you might end up eating the bitter taste of what you just said." Lance said putting his arm over Adrian's shoulder. " You see love is a bitch, it moves in mysterious ways and always pairs you with the most unexpected person with you always mocking love you should be weary because maybe love will pair you with that person you hated and disgusted the most." Adrian's eyes grew wider and his forehead begun to sweat. " You are not pertaining to that person aren't you?" Lance nodded.

"NO!!! FUCK DUDE YOU ARE GIVING ME ALL THE CREEPS, of all the people why him?!!! I won't ever ever going to fall in love with that voluptuous ugly uuuurrgggghhh.... Lance you are going to give me nightmares!" Adrian storm out and went straight upstairs.

"Hey where are you going!" Lee shouted "That person really!!" Lee shake his head. "He thinks this is his own house. And you who is that person he was talking about?" Lee asked.

"Ow Adrian got a stubborn stalker that follows and declares his love for him. Adrian is really getting irritated and in the verge of insanity cause he just can't shake this man off." Lance explained.

"Is he really that ugly?" Lee asked, Lance gave that what the fuck dude look. "What I was just curious! Adrian keeps on telling the man is ugly so I was wondering if that's true."

"Adrian said that he is. The man is stout." Lance start.

"Just because you are fat doesn't mean you are ugly. Adrian must have been exaggerating things again." Lee commented.

"He has this side part hairstyle that looks like it was glued to each side to make sure the wind won't break it from it's hold, he has this black rimmed thick glasses, which we typically see on nerds that we used to make fun during our college days. His face has this freckles and not to mention the red swollen pimples that he has that looks like it's about to burst any minute and the way he dress like he has lived during the 80's and most importantly his name is ugly, everything about him is ugly including his name that sounds like nasty!Those are Adrian's words He kept on complaining it earlier when we were drinking. Ow and how he constantly feel like someone was watching him from a far. If only you could see him shiver just from thinking, the dude really crept him out." Lance said imitating the way Adrian said it while he was laughing by himself when he noticed that Lee has been awfully quiet so he take a look at his friend and found him grinning from ear to ear.

"I don't like that smile." Lance said. Lee heard what he said.

"Ow I think this is going to be fun. I would love to meet this person." Le said enthusiastically.

"Uh huh, what are you planning to do?" Lance asked suspiciously.

"Nooootttthhhiiiinnnggg. I have to go upstairs to sleep. Lance you stay for the night don't drive. Just go home tomorrow morning ok?" Lee said in one go and went straight to his room upstairs not wanting Lance to force him to spill what he has in mind.

"LEEE!!!" Lance shouted.

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

Nash have been waiting outside the condominium building for hours now. He looked at every person who comes in and out of that building hoping he could see the man that he admire the most. Though he felt the contempt that Adrian has been giving him he doesn't want to give up. He wanted to try his best even if it's impossible. So he continued looking for every possible direction and every single person till he felt someone tap him to his shoulder. He ignores it thinking someone must have mistaken him but someone tap him again and again

and again that he decided to turn around. "What do you want?....." He was speechless to see a tall gorgeous handsome man in front of him.

"You must be Adrian's stalker." The man scanned him from head to toe. "Hmmmm, hhhmmm." The man said nodding while thinking. "Lance is right you really are ugly. My Dexy is even prettier than you. No that came out wrong. Let me rephrase it My Dexy honey is the most beautiful." Nash face fell when the man start talking about beauty.

"I know that I'm ugly no need to emphasize that to my face. I don't even know who that Dexy is. So if you are just here to mock me please just leave me alone." Nash turned his back on the man and start walking away from him. He just decided to find some other place where he could wait for his Adrian without being bug by people like that man who only knows one thing and that is to judge and mock people like him who has been deprived by beauty but it hasn't been that long when he felt someone's arm over his shoulder he looked and saw the same man.

"You see Dexy is the man I'm about to get married too. In less than one month I'll officially going to be a married man and that is other than with my Dexy honey. Do you know how hard it was to get my Dexy's yes?" The man asked.

"I don't know and I don't care." Nash push the man's arms around him only for the man to put it back on him.

"IT WAS HARD! I went to that horrible rides, bearing the people's scream of terror just for him to say yes! Then I broke up with all my flings so that my Dexy can have my dick exclusively. That I'm happy I did by the way, My Dexy got me rewarded because of that. And now we are getting married imagine that?"

Nash sighed in defeat it seems that the handsome man won't stop at any minute. "Look mister. I don't care about your love life. If you want someone to hear your story just go find some other person who are willing to hear you. I have something to do. Please just leave me."

"No can do babe, you see you are in luck to have found me." The man said putting his arms once again over his shoulder.

"You are the one who found me." Nash corrected.

"Doesn't matter, anyways as I was saying. You are in luck today. Cause today on wards I will be your Fairy Godfather! If Cinderella has a fairy Godmother who help her to be with his prince Charming then I will be your Fairy Godfather who will help you get your womanizing and man-whore prince not so charming." The man turned him around and grab him by his shoulder. "Fairy godfather can make it possible."

"A-Ah I don't understand, are you on drugs?" Nash asked he is getting scared by the minute even though the man looked decent and handsome with all the things he keeps on saying Nash couldn't help but think otherwise that he starts feeling worry about his life. He scanned for the people around who he can asked for help. When he saw a police man he hit the man in between his legs using his knee and run towards the police men.

"Help, help please help me. There's a pervert who is being creepy over there. You've got to help me." Nash said to the police men.

"Where?" The police men went with him and saw the man still clutching on the ground as he holds his jewel that was hit hard by him. The police took the men to the police station and he was forced to go with them to give his official statement.

"Like I said I am not a pervert. I was just trying to help him. Ouch my dicky." the man said the police are having a hard time believing man's story because of the way he acts. He was holding an ice pack that he place to his crotch.

"What happened, Lee honey are you alright?" Nash look at the m.an who just arrived. The man doesn't look like an Omega nor a beta so Nash thought that it was an Alpha that got him curious cause the man he just hit is also an Alpha. But the newly arrived just called the man honey so the two must be dating.

"Dexy honey, that man hit my Dicky." The man said like a child telling his mother that he has been bullied.

Nash look at the man again. *So he is that Dexy that he keeps on bubbling about. He doesn't look pretty, he is more like handsome to me.* Nash thought.

"Sir what did he do this time and what happened to him?" Dexter ignore Lee.

"The complainant said that the accuse suddenly approach him and keeps on telling him random things in a nasty things." The police officer explained to Dexter.

Dexter just sighed. before he looked at him. "Hi you must be the complainant, I'm Dexter I'm his fiance. There must have been a misunderstanding. People usually misunderstood him cause he always acts crazy. So I want to apologise on his behalf. We will fully cooperate with you in clearing up the misunderstanding." Dexter said, he turned his gazed to Lee who still holds the ice pack on top of his crotch. "Lee honey, why did you approach him?" Dexter asked. "And don't lie to me."

"I just want to help him with Adrian that's all Dexy. Please don't be mad.... You will still going to marry me won't you?" Dexter just sight before kissing Lee on top of his head. "Yes of course. But why would you want to help him with Adrian?"

"Ow Nooootttthhhiiiinnnggg." Lee averted his eyes from Dexter.

"Are your going to answer me or there will be no wedding to be held next month?" Dexter threatened.

"No Dexy you can't, you can't you already said yes to me." Lee plead.

"Then answer my question."

"Fine, cause I want Adrian to know what it's like to fall in love and beside don't you feel pity towards that boy? He's trying really hard." Lee gestured. Dexter looked at the complainant.

"Do you know Adrian? Do you like him?" Dexter asked.

"Ye-yes, who are you people anyways?" Nash asked.

Dexter almost hit his own head with his palm. When he realized what his stupid fiance is at it again. "So that's how it is." Dexter said to himself then he looked at the man again. "We are Adrian's friends and that man you just hit is one of his best friends. He was trying to get you close to Adrian. He is crazy most of the time that's why I understand why you have to report him to the police but can you next time not hit him? I don't like to see him hurting if you know what I mean." Nash can swear he can see dark aura circulating the man when he was asked not to hurt the man who is name is Lee again.

"So can we wrapped this up and just forget about this? If you still want Lee's help we will gladly give that as a compensation to what happened here." Dexter said trying to bargain with the kid. Nash can only nod in agreement.

"Good, Lee honey you are grounded you won't be using that thing for two weeks. Let that thing healed first." Dexter said.

"Bububububu----but Dexy honey, don't do this to me pleeeeeaaaasssseeee!" Lee's scream can be heard even outside of the police station.

All three of them are in the car and Dexter was the one who's driving Lee's car. While Nash is sitting at the back watching just how Lee acts like a child who was deprived of his favorite Tay to play.

"So you are Nash." Dexter broke the silence.

"Yes." Nash simply answered his gazed landed on Lee again who is still mumbling complaints while drawing something to the car's wind shield.

"How long have you been in love with Adrian?" Dexter asked. Nash looked at Dexter who is looking at his through the rear view mirror.

"Since I was in Middle school I guess." Dexter was quite surprised. Adrian never mentioned the man before if that has been that long. "But he doesn't remember me, It has been so long and he doesn't really know me and I don't know him either. I just recently found out about him."

The Omega's statement pick Dexter's interest. "Is he ok?" Nash asked Dexter.

"He's fine don't mind him so Adrian doesn't know you exist only just recently is that it?" Nash nodded.

"Now that's interesting." Dexter commented.

"Dexy doesn't care about me anymore, he is far more interested in knowing other guys than to comfort his sulking and sad fiance." Lee said turning his back from him. Dexter noticed that Lee unbuckled his seat belt.

"Lee honey put on your seat belt." Lee didn't even baldge. "Lee honey? Lee?!" Annoyed with how Lee was acting Dexter pulled over to the side of the road. He unbuckled his own sear belt and move on Lee's side to turn him around. Lee was not really expecting it but Dexter suddenly pulled him to a deep kissed with tongue that lasted for seconds before Dexter pulled out and place a peck on his lips. "Don't sulk ok?"

"Won't you ground me for two weeks anymore?" Lee asked.

Dexter wipe Lee's lips with his thumb. "I won't so stop sulking before I get really angry. Now fasten your seat belt I don't want you dead before our wedding." Dexter joke.

"Hey that's not a good joke. I still don't want to die without marrying you." Lee said fasting his seat belt.

"Then wear this fucking seat belts and you sure will be able to attend our own wedding."

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

"Merdie so your saying that Bea went to the Sy's Mansion months before Aiden got kidnapped?" Chairman Miller asked.

"Yeah, It was actually the first time I saw her. He went there several times before Liam, I mean Aiden was brought there. If my memory serves me right I think I heard her mentioned your name and then Lance name but I often heard her mentioned your husband's name more. That time I didn't know that it was your husband that she's pertaining to. She even visited a couple of times too after Aiden was there. I even saw her peeking to your room." Merdie said. "She also went there after you escaped the Mansion after that she never came back till they discovered that I was the one behind your disappearance. After that I don't know if your family still have any connection with her." Merdie added.

"So she really have something to do what happened to me back then." Aiden laughed. "I never thought that she could stoop that law just for her to have Lance. First she seduce my husband and had a baby with him and now she orchestrated all that so I could get out of her way in getting Lance. Hahahah how pathetic. And then this stupid Lance believe all that and in the end chooses that conniving woman."

"Ow at long last you finally admitted that husband of yours is stupid! You are always on his side telling us he was not at fault but with the way how I can see it Lance is smart but gullible he let himself be played by such woman." Aiden glared at his Dad.

"Don't call him my husband Dad." Aiden said.

"Ok, ok, but you just called him your husband earlier" Chairman Miller whispered but Aiden heard about it. "So back to what I'm saying. If that woman has been chasing after your husband and tried to pull different stunts already. Why is it that he still allows himself and you get associated with that woman? If I were him I would have filled a restraining order along time ago and have her blater, that woman is not clear in the head. What was your husband thinking?!"

"I don't know I was still naive back then so I was not able to think such things before. I thought just by being with Lance is enough protection cause he holds much power." Aiden said.

"You know what son all those power, money and authority won't move by themselves unless it was instructed so. Which goes back to your husband being sa reckless useless husband, sorry for the words."

"No offense taken Dad."

"He neglected his duty as a good husband to put all kinds of security to make sure that you and your baby is safe. He failed to perceived that such woman who looks like who can't do any thing to harm anyone is actually a snake ready to bite her next victim. He shouldn't have underestimated the enemy just because they look harmless."

"So now that you know all this what is your plan?" Chairman Miller asked. "Will you change it or are you going to stick with your original plan?"

"Stick with the plan I'll just going to add some more."

"So what is it?" Chairman Miller asked.

"I plan to take away from her everything that is important to her, so she'll know how it feels when the person and things that you really care for just suddenly got taken away from you."

"Be careful now with that plan of yours. Even though you said that you no longer love the man he still the person you used to love before. Old flames tend to spark and burn when being triggered, you wouldn't want to play with that kind of fire or you might end up getting burnt."

"Dad who says I'll go directly to Lance? That's so cheap." Aiden's words made Chairman Miller laughed.

"Just be careful Dad doesn't want you to end up hurting again. Also if what I said happened then just inform me right away so I could condition myself to come up with something to test him before I can accept him to this family as your husband." Chairman Miller jokingly said while laughing.

"Dad you know that will never going to happen."

"Ow you'll never know. I think Lance is a good man he's just plain stupid and gullible, reasons why your relationship with him became so toxic but whatever happens Daddy is just here with you. I won't let anything bad happens to you. And that's my boy why is your Daddy a hundred percent way cooler than that stupid Husband of yours. Daddy doesn't just know how to run business but your Daddy also knows how to protect his precious sons."

"Yeah I know that's why Dad made me take all those self defense lessons because Dad believes in what Fred Nelson said that give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day but teach a man how to fish then you will give the man an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime." Aiden quoted his father's favourite saying.

"Yes that's right, see if something happens and your body guards won't be able to guard you at least you will still know how to protect yourself." Chairman Miller explained.

"Yes I know Dad but remember you taught me how to protect myself but brother level it up by teaching me way more."

"Yeah like how to kill a person. Damn it Aiden, firing gun? Mix Martial arts? Krav Maga? Human vital points? What? Are you going to kill someone? Your brother is over acting like he wanted to raise a killer instead of a brother."

"Dad those things comes in handy. They may seem scary but with the right person those knowledge are not as dangerous as it seems." Aiden defended.

"Aiden son remember if those knowledge where used and you ended up killing someone even if it was for self-defense and if the court finds out that you have certain knowledge on this kind of dangerous things you will still going to end up in jail even if the killing was not intentional." Chairman Miller reminded his son.

To be continued...

Chapter 11 Sneak peek....

"Sir the lawyers are threatening to file a lawsuit against us." The Secretary explained. "Why?" Lance asked.

Aiden turned the swivel chair around. "Allow me to answer that. You see I terminated them immediately. Termination means they won't be getting anything from this company aside from their last pay. They are threatening to file a lawsuit for the benefits they should have gotten from their separation from the company but because they have been terminated they won't be getting anything from us." Aiden explained.

"Why didn't you just give them what they want? This is a huge scandal! We are a Law firm that being charge by lawyers because of simple things." Aiden got up from his sit and throw the pieces of papers on the table. "Mr. Montero I invested in this company not to waste my money so I can give it to a half ass lawyers who exploits their own Clients with money. They can file charges against us if they want but I will make sure that I will win against them, I got all the evidences that I need I'm ready anytime to take them on the game they want to play cause Aiden Miller never losses in a game." With that said Aiden walked pass by him.
