Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Heart beats

A filmmaker, photographer, and digital artist at the young age the Alpha already made a name for himself not just to his own country but also internationally. He doesn't have a single interest in inheriting their family business but his passion is being widely use by his family business. It was his older brother who inherited and running their family business.

He seems to be joking with what he is doing but he knows he is serious with this. The moment he laid his eyes to the Alpha his heart feels like it skipped a beat, he can't hear anything else around him and things went slow-mo just like in the romantic movie but theirs is like a romantic comedy movie. Lee laugh with the thought. Him having romantic feeling with a hunk, bulky and masculine alpha not in a million times he had ever imagined it but life is full of surprise. *Maybe just maybe this is what they called love* Lee thought. He got excited with the thought of falling in love for the first time. He wondered if he will be the same as his love sick, hopelessly romantic married friends. Well one of them is heartbroken.

"I have to asked Terrence for advice." With mischievous smile on his face He made up his mind that he's going to make that Alpha his. But first things first he needs to pick his brother from the airport, it seems that his brother came home in a rush without noticed so he has to pick him up to the airport. Lee blows a loud breath "Just when I finally having a love life my brother call's me to interrupt my time with my Dexy.... Just wait Dexy honey you're Lee lover boy will come back."

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

"What do you mean you need to pick up his friend? Have you told them behind his back." Chester feels like his blood was about to boil. Him and his Husband are talking inside a coffee shop after Terrence told him that he needs to tell him something but not inside their house. "I have to Kitten. You see pretty I know he wants to fix his relationship with his family but just doesn't know where to start so I figured maybe he could start with his friend." Chester looked at him questioningly.

"Hey pretty don't look at me like that. Me and Theo are friends, of course I'll know one of his friends but he's not living here. He is actually living somewhere, I met him once when he came to visit Theo convincing him not to marry Teakyun."

"How did you find him.?" Chester asked full of curiosity

"Ow it's not that hard cause I know what country he lives in. Theo is originally from that country too but they move here when he was in the middle school but after Theo eloped with Teakyun his family moved back to their country. It was actually a gamble but I think it's worth trying." Terrence explained.

"Well if it could help him restore his relationship with his family. So when will you pick him up?" His wife asked him.

"Later his flight will arrive later. I still need to explain to him brief details of what happened to Theo."

"How is he? I mean his friend." Chester asked.

"He's an Omega too but don't worry he's a good guy plus I have you, so don't be jealous Ok." Terrence touch his wife's cheek giving him an assurance but Chester just smack him on the head.

"Who told you I'll be jealous?" Chester is trying to hide his reddened face. "I won't be jealous because of you." Terrence laughs at his wife's cuteness. His wife might be Savage at times but he clearly knows that behind those defensive stature is a wife who Loves him dearly.

"Well clearly just the other night you went from my sweet wife to a monstrous wife real quick just because some beautiful Omega male walk over to me inviting me for a coffee." Terrence said teasing his wife. It is not everyday he gets to see his wife's jealous face but he also doesn't want to make him jealous too much as this might create a trust issues between them and making his wife insecure with his self is the last thing that Terrence would want his wife to feel.

"So you think he is beautiful?" Chester asked the sadness is evident in his voice and his face suddenly fell.

"I was just joking come on don't be sad for me you are the only one that is beautiful, don't worry faithfulness is what is written in my vocabulary." Terrence said touching his wife's cheek.

"Want to come with me, when I go pick him up?" Terrence suggested. He take a note to himself not to make Chester jealous too much.

"Would it be ok? How about the kids?" Chester asked.

"Yeah it would be ok beside having you there will refrain that big mouth to nag about how he is right about Lee's brother and for the kids Theo and auntie are there. Mother is there too they will take care of the kids."

"Big mouth? Nagging?" Chester got confused.

"You'll see kitten, You'll see."

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

"Where the heck is that bitch?!" The man couldn't contain his anger as he punched another man on the face.

"You how can you let that slut go!" He pointed on one of the people inside.

"Sir b-but--- we just found out that h--- he.... I mean h he..." The man could not even get his words straight out of fear for the man.

"He what?! SPEAK!" The man demanded.

"He already paid all his debt." The man finished his sentence in one go.

"HUH! how is that even possible? That's two fucking million. For the likes of him there's no way....."

"Well someone paid for him. Two years ago that Omega got himself marked and knock up. He doesn't want to abort the baby like what you did to your baby with him." The manager who is responsible for Omega's that have huge debts to them and using their bodies to pay for that debt explained.

"We didn't forced him to get rid of the babies for he has no use to us. A mark Omega is bad for business they can't have sex with others other than their bond." The man looked at the manager darkly.

"And then what happened?" He asked. His pheromones is already raging making everyone in the room sweat like crazy, catching their breath from the suffocating domineering aura inside the room.

"It was an accidental Bonding but still he continued with his pregnancy. He took jobs to continuesly pay off his debt but that wasn't enough. Recently we found out that there Alphas who would want or willing to pay double just to fuck a bonded Omega but unfortunately he is again pregnant a year after giving birth from the twins."

"Pregnant again from the same man? Just how much he loves to spread his fucking legs to him?" The man hissed. He is wondering what kind of man would want to buy an Omega who has been fucked and used by other Alphas.

"The man paid for his whole debt."

"Now this got me interested. Just what kind of guy would pay for a slut Omega's debt?" The man looked at the manager.

"You! I want you to find out everything about the man who just paid for his debt maybe we could leech him off. Also I want a piece of that Omega he is having. My dick is itching to feel that tight hole again."

"But you know he's pregnant and bonded." The manager said.

The man walk near him and grab hi mouth tightly. "You just told me earlier that you planned to throw him to some Alphas who would be willing to fuck a bonded Omega." The man pulled the manager's face and whisper to his ear. "Well I'm also one of those Alphas who would want to fuck a bonded Omega like him." The man pushed the manager as he let go of his grasp to his mouth.

"I want you to find anything about the man who paid his debt and I want you to find out everything about Chester." The man commanded.

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

"So what time do you think he'll arrived?" Chester asked his Husband. Terrence looked at him full of concern.

"Are you having a hard time standing? Maybe you should take a sit over there Kitten, you are already in you eight months. You should be more careful."

Chester looked at his rounded tummy. Yes he is indeed in his eight months just one more month and they will be able to see his additional bundle of joy. Terrence and him decided not to know the gender until he gave birth.

"No I'm fine, don't worry and beside the doctor said it's good for me to take walks sometimes." Chester bit his lip. Terrence can sometimes over worry about him. He always makes him feel love.

"Just tell me if you feel discomfort or anything ok. Just tell this super handsome, reliable and strong Husband of yours ok?" Terrence self declaration just earned them some faint laugh and scanning eyes from the people around them. Some are even trying to give out a flirtatious look but he knows better that his Husband is head over heals in love with him so he just entangled his arms around him to show them that the Alpha is his — marking his territory over the people who are drooling over his Husband.

Terrence just planted a soft kiss on top of his head, he just can't resist his wife's cuteness specially when he is being clingy to him. It's not everyday that his wife is like that. He was still in his own lovely thought when a snap took his attention. He looked to the person in front of him.

"Your attention should be on the person you are waiting in the airport." The man who just arrived shift his gaze to the Omega. "Hallu!, how are you? are you acquainted with this man? If you are then you should be very careful. Terrence is a womanizer jerk." The man said giving him a fair warning about Terrence.

"Hey I may have been a jerk but I'm no womanizer those people knows better that I don't do relationship." Chester gave him a *You better explain yourself Mister or else* look.

"I-I mean kitten that was before. Those women and men knows that it's just a play thing. I-I mean I already left that kind of life behind...." Terrence quickly explained bullets of sweat quickly appeared on top of his forehead indicating how nervous he already is trying to explain to his wife.

"I thought you said you don't do relationship?" Chester brow arced, crossing his arms in front of him waiting for him to explain.

"That was before pretty, that was when I still haven't met you yet but believe me you are the only relationship I want to have." Terrence see Chester relax a bit with his explanation. His eyes darted to the Omega who's been eyeing them questioningly.

"Hey hey hey wait a minute. You mean to say this beauty here is your lover? His pregnant?" Terrence pulled Chester by his hips.

"Yeah more than a lover he's actually my wife." Terrence showed him both their wedding rings.

"Hold me, hold me I'm going to faint, I'm going to faint." The Omega act dramatically.

"Kitten let's go don't mind him, he's a little crazy being over dramatic again." Terrence said to his wife. He tried to lead his wife away from the other Omega

"Hey I said I was going to faint!" The Omega shouted but Terrence choose to ignore him and was about to turn his back but the other Omega just yank him that made him almost fall.

"What the ffff----- eeffffinnng fudge is wrong with you I almost fall!" Terrence was really frustrated but the Omega didn't even flinched.

"Terry are you going to cussed?" Chester looking at him suspiciously. Terrence expression soften immediately the moment he looked at his wife.

"Of course not kitten." Terrence smiled awkwardly.

"Pussy!" The Omega tsked. "Not my fault you just suddenly try to walk away I just simply grab you, I didn't know that you are so weak to almost fall from that."

"Who in their right mind would even broadcast to other that their about to faint. You are obviously just acting. And I was caught of guard! Aaagghhh the head ache. It's only been minutes since I saw you and yet you are already giving me so much head ache" Terrence snorted. He's massaging his temple. Trying to calm himself down.

"Well kidding aside Chester this is Nicolas and Nicolas this is my wife Chester." Terrence introduce them to each other Nick simply glared at him.

"Hey don't listen to him you can call me Just Nick." The Omega hold Chester's hand in greeting him.

"Hey let me just ask you a question." Nick asked.

"Yeah sure." Chester permitted.

"Are you even sure in marrying this Alpha. I mean he's good looking but that's all there is to him aside from that NOTHING!"

"Hey don't bad mouth me in front of my wife! Kitten don't listen to him ok" Terrence covered his wife's ears. He is shooting daggers at the Nicolas

Chester laughs in what he's seeing. It is actually the first time he witnessed someone who can insult his Husband face to face. "Well you are right but aside from good looks and brain he also have a good dick which he's so proud of." Chester added.

"Well Kitten as much as I want you to dirty talk, this is not the proper place. Talk dirty to me when we are alone or on top of our bed screwing around" Terrence looked at Nick. "And you, don't teach my wife unnecessary things." The two Omegas just laugh.

"I didn't thought I'll be seeing you two here." All three looked at the man who just spoke.

"Teakyun." Terrence and Nick were surprised to see the man.

"Brother wait, ow Terrence and... Nick." Lee said, he was running after his brother when he saw his friend and Theo's friend. He was confused why is Terrence and Nick together?

Terrence can feels his heart pounding. He didn't realize that the Alpha would also be at the airport. He knows full well how the mind of the likes of him work for they live in the same environment. He can't let him find out that Theo is here.

"It has been years since the last time I saw you. How have you been? Is Theo with you?" Terrence asked trying not to sound suspicious.

"Yeah it's been years. Funny I also want to ask you the same question. Is Teddy with you? or did he even contact you?" The scrutinizing eyes of the Alpha is trying to see if Terrence is lying but Terrence didn't back off. He put on his serious business face which masks the nervousness he is feeling.

"If he's with me then I wouldn't ask in the first place. Why are you even looking your wife from me? Why did something happened?" Terrence asked, he is trying to sound suspicious just like any other friend who is concern about his friend he hadn't seen for so long.

Teakyun didn't answer instead he is studying his expression, digging deeper to his eyes trying to find any hint of lies to every words and actions that Terrence has been giving.

"Damn Teakyun did something happened to Theo?" Terrence said hysterically throwing pits to Teakyun. Chester can see through him he knows his Husband is just acting. He looked at the man named Teakyun Tall man, long straight chestnut brown hair he looks more like a model than a President of a corporation.

"Hey why are you even looking for Theo?" Nick walk in front of Theo's husband. Chester knows that Nick already catch up to what his Husband is doing and decided to ride along with his acting. They can't blow off their cover, they can't let Theo's where about to get exposed to his husband.

"Yeah brother what do you mean? Why are you even looking for sister in-law?" Lee said in a low voice." Why are you looking for Theo? Why? Is he missing? Is this the reason that you suddenly came back here? ANSWER ME!" Lee shout. If there is someone who is really close to Theo that's Lee and him they treat the Omega like their own little brother so it wouldn't be a surprise if Lee would be so angry and worked up at his brother after just knowing that the Omega is missing.

"It seems like you know nothing." The man looked at Terrence and Nick. Then he looked at his brother. "I'll explained everything to you later. Just cool down your head for a while." He ruffled his little brother's head.

"We will keep going. I'm sorry for keeping you." He was about to go when he noticed the Omega standing beside Terrence. Terrence noticed it "He's my wife. He's Chester, Chester this is Teakyun he is the husband of Nick's friend." Teakyun didn't respond he just went on his way without even saying goodbye or even wait for his brother.

"I'm Sorry Terrence, Chester and Nick. I'm gonna catch up to you guys some other time. I need to go after my brother." Lee said before running fast to catch up to his brother.

Teakyun can't shake the feeling that there's something not right. That the Alpha is like hiding something from him and he intends to find out about it. "I have a feeling that I can find you here Teddy."

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

"That was close."

Nick blows a loud breath. "We better get going." Nick suggested.

"We better not go home to where is Theo, we can't let our guards down." Terrence said.

"What do you mean Terry?" Chester asked. *If they won't go home for today then where would they go, how about the twins?* These are the questions running inside Chester's mind.

Terrence looked at him as if he can read his mind. "We will go home to our house, the renovation team and the interior architect already informed me the other day that the renovation is already done. We will just stay there for two weeks just to make sure he won't be tailing us. About the kids we can leave them for the mean time to auntie, Theo and Mom" Terrence hug him.

"I'm sorry I know I'm asking for too much but would it be ok? If you don't want to we can think of another way. We can just send Theo to..." Chester shake his head no. "I understand Terry..." Chester looked at his Husband. "Theo, Auntie and your parents are there, we will just face time the kids and two weeks is not that long. Don't send Theo away he just started opening up. I do understand." Terrence feel so lucky to have a wife like him.

"Hey, hey, hey... Hello people?" Nick wave his two hands above his head to get the attention of the two people so engrossed with each other.

"Hey stopped that, you are making me cringe! Hello single people here; have a little consideration for single people!" Nick pointed at himself. The three just decided to go straight to Chester's apartment

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

"Brother now that we are here care to explain to me why are you here? And why the heck are you looking for Theo when in the first place you should be the person who should know best where he is." Lee blurted out. He could not contain his anger when he can see that his brother shows no hint of concern regarding that matter.

Teakyun turn to face his brother. "Calm down little brother answering your questions can wait. I'm not going anywhere so leave that questions for later I have a lot of things to do than to prioritize trivial matters." It was the first time Lee heard his brother pulled out that tone when their subject is about his wife. Teakyun is always been the kind of man who prioritizes his wife but now he is setting him aside.

He grab him by his collar and pulled him close. "If I found out that you in anyway hurt Theo or you are the reason why Theo is not without I swear you can forget me being your brother." Lee released his older brother and harshly pushed him aside passing him as he walk out the door.

Teakyun blows a loud breath. He pulled out his phone and dialed someone. "I want you to search this area. Anyone who come and out of this country since my wife's disappearance I want you to look at it. Pay an investigator that will follow Terrence for a week make sure to report to me everything he does and who he is meeting. Also about Nicolas do same thing as I instructed you with Terrence. Don't missed any details." Teakyun grip his fist tighter.

"Can I drop by your place today?" Lee said, he is now inside his car calling Dexter. The first thing that came to his mind is the Alpha, he wants to see him he knows that the Alphas presence is the only thing that can calm him down. He was so frustrated after witnessing his brother pulled out his called attitude towards his wife like his wife's where about is none of his concern.

(Why is there something wrong?) Dexter asked he can feel that there is something wrong with Lee his voice is far from his usual annoying ear shattering voice that is full of energy whenever he call him.

"No, I might have disturbed you. I'll just drop by some other time." Lee said changing his mind.

(No come, I'm not doing anything anyways. Come I'm baking a cake it will be a waste to just eat it all by myself.) Dexter said.

"Ok. I'll be on my way then. Thank you Dexter, I love you." Lee said but heard nothing in response the line is completely silent. He thought that serious I love you is too early to utter specially since they are newly dating. Not that he doesn't say it but he usually says it while teasing Dexter so Dexter never really took it seriously. "Bye I'll see you in an hour." Lee said before dropping the call. He quickly revive the engine and navigate his way to his lover's house.

Dexter could not believe what he just heard. His heart suddenly pound hard after hearing the Alpha said those words in all seriousness and calling him to his whole name only added to the butterfly in his stomach. He can feel the sincerity to his voice and he knows that this time the Alpha didn't utter it just to tease or to annoy him.

"Those three words are still too early in this point of time. That must have been just a slip of the tongue." Dexter tried to convinced his self and went to continue baking. He was not really planning in making some cake but the sadness in Lee's tone made him want to give him something that can help cheer him up and cake is the first thing that came to his mind. Good thing he has all the ingredients needed to make a cake.

Dexter just decided to make a chocolate cake as this cake was one of the easiest one to bake. He was still doing the frosting when his door bell ring. He went to see who it was and quickly open the door once he saw Lee. "Come on in, let me take your jacket." Dexter helped Lee in taking care of his jacket he neatly place his jacket in his staggered coat hooks inside his walk in closet. Lee followed Dexter to his kitchen and sat in one of the stools in Dexter's mini island counter. He quietly observe how the Alpha fix the cakes frosting with all seriousness. Seeing Dexter focus in doing something is a new thing for him he didn't know that watching someone could be this entertaining or is it only because it is Dexter.

It didn't take long before Dexter gave up in making the cakes frosting level. "Here this will do."

"Pppffffttt..." Lee tried to hold back his laughter after seeing the end result of the cake.

"Don't laugh, It's all the same once you put it in your mouth, got digested in your stomach and poop it out of your system. The appearance doesn't matter!" Lee scorn.

"No, I do appreciate it real---ly ppffttt hahahaha.... hahahaha..... hahaha" Lee was already holding his stomach from too much laughing, his eye were already in tears.

"If you're just gonna laugh at my cake then I'll just eat it myself I shouldn't have baked it just for you." It was already too late when Dexter realized what he just said.

"So you went all out just to bake it for me?" Lee excitedly went over to his side which is across the island counter and leaned in his face closer but Dexter quickly black his face with his palm and pushed it away.

"Too close, too close." Dexter said.

Lee smilingly retreat and just sat beside him. "So you baked this specifically just for me? I'm so happy." Dexter watched Lee as he continues to stare at the cake with eyes shinning from happiness like a kid who has been given his favorite chocolate.

"Yeah I did so what. There is nothing so special about it." Dexter said. He was waiting for Lee's response but the Alpha just keep on staring at the cake.

Dexter puffed a breath. "Give me that if you're not going to eat it then just give that to me and I'll eat it." Dexter was already reaching for the cake when Lee hit his hand away from the cake.

"Hey don't eat nor take my cake away. You did said that you baked it for me so it means that it's for me. So don't lay your hands to my cake." Lee sounds like a child trying to protect his toys from being taken away from him.

"Tsked what about me? I also want to eat that cake too." Dexter complain. Lee fish out his phone and call someone.

"Yes have it delivered to this address. Yes make it quick ok." Lee end the call and looked at him. "Your cake is on its way so don't touch mine." Lee continued looking at his cake admiring it.

"Why are you so fixed in that cake it's just a cake. Minutes ago you were laughing your ass off because it's ugly and now you are being a selfish jerk who doesn't want to share. Dexter said blowing a heavy breath. He crossed his arms on the island counter and lie his face on it while looking at Lee still admiring the cake when he spoke not looking at him.

"It is not just a cake. It was the first time that someone other than my mother made me something on their own accord and it makes me so happy because it was you."

But seconds later he find himself looking at the smiling Lee eye to eye. "I know I'm selfish I don't really want to share what's mine and that goes same with you. I won't share you with anyone else."

Dexter sit up and clutch his chest where his heart is located. *There it is again, how can a simple words and smile can make his hear pound.* He thought.
