**********************
(Lance what the heck man, is that really true?) Lee asked, he called Lance to hear straight from him.
(Yes, at first I was really surprised I know for sure that it wasn't possible since nothing happened between us but so I thought. We took five DNA Paternal tests to make sure that it is valid but all results came back positive. I don't know how did it happened but one thing I do know for sure that the child is mine. I have to take responsibility to my own child. When I saw him Lee I could not explain what to feel. It's like I could not just leave and abandoned him. So I decided to take responsibility. We are already fixing in changing his surname to Montero since he is carrying his mother's surname.) Lance explained.
"How about Bea? Are you planning in marrying her?" Lee asked. He knows that his friend no longer loves the woman but the fact that he is taking responsibility for his child must also means that he is also taking responsibility to the mother of the child.
(No, I'll only marry once and that is with my wife.) Lance said firmly.
"Then I think you should clear all the misunderstanding. People are talking about your near wedding cause you just announced to the world that her son is your biological Child." Lee said. "And why the heck did you just fly to states with her?"
(I just said that the child is mine cause she announced it first which turns out to be true but it doesn't mean that I'll marry her. Damn those reporters!) Lance curse under his breath the Lee heard. ( Anyways the reason why I'm here is because mosty son's health is not in good condition. The doctor said it was cause by too much stress that Bea experienced during pregnancy and because she was not able to give birth properly when she was in labor. It seems that when her water broke she didn't reached the hospital right away. The Doctor even told me that she bled profusely during labor. It almost jeopardize our son's life, Bea said he was not breathing when they took him out but luckily the Doctor was able to bring my child back.) Lance explained.
"Lance don't you think it's odd?"
(What do you mean odd?) Lance asked
"Why is that when we saw her at brother's party her figure is still as fit as before? Liam was on his 5th month back then but I can already see his stomach baldging." Lee asked suspiciously.
(That's because she's still 3 months pregnant back then. If my math is right it was about 3 months when I woke up with her in a hotel room. I thought she was lying when she said something happened. I don't know I can't remember I was drunk that time.) Lance answered
"But how old is your child now?" Lee asked
(He is in his 5th month now turning 6....) Lance answer that made Lance silent, that Lee immidiately noticed. "See you got my point? You just told me that your son is in his 5th month but how is that possible when you just told me that at the party Bea was just on her 3rd months if that really were true then that child should be on his 3rd months and not on his 5th months." Lee pointed out.
(Lee can I hung this call for a while? I'll just call you later.) Lance said. Bidding goodbye to his friend.
"What are you smiling about?" Dexter asked he was just passing by his kitchen isle to get a glass of water when he saw his boyfriend Lee grinning like a fool.
"Nothing I think I just helped a friend knock some sense to him." Lee proudly said. Dexter raise his eye brow to his boyfriend.
"Do you really think that what you did was helpful? knowing you Lee you are most likely to cause some trouble than to help." Dexter put back the water pitcher and closed the fridge door. He was about to go out of the kitchen when Lee pulled him to sit on his lap.
Lee stick his mouth to Dexter's ear and then whispered. "I think I was of help this time, but I would appreciate it if you give your future hubby some loving as a reward for helping a friend."
Dexter looked at him and smiled sarcastically. " You did a good job for you FRIEND but not to ME. So go and asked for a reward from him not to me. I still hate Lance." Dexter break off from the hug, but Lee didn't give up and just follow Dexter to bug him from doing the things that he wants.
Lance knock three times to Bea's room. The three of them are living under one roof to one of the houses that Lance owns there but even though they live under one roof they don't share in one room. The two are still sleeping separately as for his son Lander he has his own room and maids to take care of him. Bea doesn't have any patience in taking care of kids. So all the motherly stuff such as cleaning, bathing and even feeding are being done by all maids. The woman also doesn't want to breastfeed the baby though Lance said that it is more nutritious if the baby gets his milk from his own mother but Bea refused telling him that breastfeeding can make her breast saggy and she doesn't want that.
"Lance babe what are you doing here? Do you need anything from me?" Bea said looking all so seductively sexy with her lingerie that is thin enough to for her nipples to see through the fabric. Lance tried to fight off the temptation in front of him and just focus on the question he originally come to.
"I just have a question for you." Lance start.
"What is it? You can ask me anything you want." Bea asked with her soft and flirty voice.
"Our Baby, you said at the party you were 3 Months pregnant back then, then why is our baby in his 5th month now?" Bea's expression became uninterested she stared blankly at him like the question doesn't interest her at all.
"Ow is that the only reason why you came knocking at my door this late at night?" Bea is getting annoyed by the fact that Lance came over to asked about the baby. She has been trying to seduce him since the moment Lance finally accepted the child's existence as his own. She thought that going to the states will surely be an opportunity to her to seduce him into liking her again but everything were all pointless. The man didn't even baldge when she tried to seduce him. It's like Lance is made of stone and can't be tempted.
"I gave birth to him premature, you can asked for his records if you are in doubt. I was in a lot of stress back then as I have told you which made me gave birth 2 months earlier than scheduled. Also the reason why we didn't come back untill recently cause we are monitoring Lander's health. We just got a go signal from his Doctor but was informed to go back which explains why the three of us are here. If you are still in doubt then we can just leave. I don't want to force your son to you if you will just going to constantly doubt us." Bea begin to cry, Lance felt guilty and sorry so he hug the woman and said sorry to her to help her calm down.
************************
George went home to his house, he immediately asked for his father from the maids like he always do. "The master is in the man's room." Said one of the maids, George heave a sigh. Whenever he comes home in the middle of the day and asked for his father the answer is just either he's in his office or at home but recently he has been staying at home. George should feel happy cause he has been asking his father to just stay at home and not to over work himself but the reason why his father choose to stay at home these past few weeks didn't made him happy as a matter of fact he felt annoyed for some reason.
He went to the unknown man's room who has been staying with them for a month now. When the man woke up he was not himself, he sometimes stares to the nothingness and then will laugh next second, then will cry the next moment. He can't talk and just communicates with them using weird noises. It's like he was reverted to the times when he was just still a child. George was not new to this kinds of cases as he often see things like this to his field of work. The Doctor explained to them that maybe due to the trauma he has been through his mind finally breakdown thus making him act like a person without any trace of rationality left in him. George opened the door saw the man playing his favourite toy. Somehow he took a liking over his Baby alive toy and treats it like a real baby. He walked near in front of the man who's sitting on the floor while rocking the baby doll to sleep by his arms. The man didn't even bothered looking at him like George was not even there when in fact they were just inches away. He was brought back to reality when his father called for him.
"Son I didn't know you were home, why are you home this early?" His father asked.
George just sighed. "I took two shifts so they are letting me go home for now so I could take a rest." George got up from his position and was walking out of the room when his father spoke.
"I know you don't like him very much. You feel like all my attentions are being transferred to him. I do understand that cause you are my son." Chairman Miller start.
"If you do then why still keep him? It's like you care for him like he's your son when I am your son." George retort.
"Aw my son feels jealous. I feel so love." Chairman Miller said teasing his son a little. "But kidding aside. I remember your mom through him. I don't know but somehow I remember him through him. Specially when I learned that he's an Omega. He must have been through a lot for his body and face to be like that, for him to act like that and most of all for his mind to break like that. He looks like a porcelain China doll that is so precious but broken beyond repair. Don't you feel pity towards him? The reason why he must have been treasuring that doll is because of his child that he lost. The doctor told me that Omega has given birth based on the Cesarean scar he has." Chairman Miller went to pick up the baby bottle and hand it to Liam who smiled when he took the bottle from him only to place it to the baby doll's mouth to feed him.
"It must have been hard for him. I know cause I can feel your mother's pain and determination when he brought you to this world in expense for his life. He knows that it can cause his life but he is willing to give it up just so you can take a breath to this world. I think your mom would also break down if he lost you. I was not happy with his decision but I am thankful that he at least left you to me. You are my precious son and nothing will ever going to change that. I just want to help him, it's fine if you can't understand but I just want you to respect my decision." His father stand up and went out of the room. George looked closely at the Omega before he went out to go to his own room.
2 more months have passed and everyday he sees the same scenario, his father playing with the Omega and the Omega just acting the same. He already got used to it that it doesn't feel bother by it by now. George went on to his life and carry on saving people's lives. He doesn't interact with the Omega and just lets him be, until one day his father left the country for business matter. It was one stormy night the first storm since the Omega came to their house. George silent sleep was disturb by the whimpering and crying sounds. He got up to see who was making all that sounds when he opened the door he was surprised to see the Omega clutching in fear outside his door while holding his baby alive doll to his arms. George didn't know what to do so he went near him and then sit so the two could be on the same level.
"H-Hey, you shouldn't be staying here." For the very first time ever since he met the Omega he spoke to him. The Omega didn't even bothered looking. George brush his hair back, he doesn't know how to cooed an adult man with a mind of a child but when the thunder roar Liam went to hug him that surprised George.
"You're that scared of thunder and lightnings?" Surprisingly Liam nodded in response. That night George took Liam with him to his room and gently tuck him in hugging him till he fall asleep. Ever since that night Liam grew fondly of George. He will run towards him whenever he sees him and because of Liam's innocent actions and gestures it didn't took long before the Alpha warms up with him. He starting to care for the unknown Omega like he just found something precious to protect.
"Kids I'm HOME!" Chairman Miller shout but was instantly cut off by the scene before his eyes. He run towards his son who was feeding the unknown Omega.
"George, you are not sick aren't you?" Chairman Miller feel his son's forehead using the back of his hand. When he was sure that his son is ok he leaned forward looking at his son face to face. "You are not feeding him something with poison aren't you?"
"Dad don't be ridiculous, of course not." He then avert his eyes from his father and went to look at the Omega who was still busy playing with his baby toy while George was feeding him. "Come on say ahh." Liam immidiately open his mouth to welcome the food that is being fed to him. Chairman Miller could not believe his own eyes on what was happening. He just went to a 2 weeks out of the country business deals and when he comes back his son who hates the Omega is taking care of the man he hates.
That night Chairman Miller went to confront his son. "Son if the kindness you are showing him has any ulterior motives then I suggest you should stop. That Omega has been through a lot already don't add any more of it."
George didn't answer his Dad's statement instead he asked his father. "Dad remember the time when you asked me if I feel any pity towards him? To be honest that time, I don't feel anything towards him beside annoyance cause he's taking too much of my father's attention. All my life the only family I have was you that's why I vow to take care of you as long as I can but when you left for that business deals, on that stormy night he went in front of my door clutching like a little child asking for help from his big brother. I tried to convince him to go back to his room but he won't even flinched and then a sound of thunder made him jump on to me out of pure fear. That time I felt he like he needs someone who can protect him then I realized that I could be his brother that will protect him. I never had a sibling before so I never really experience carrying about other people other than you."
"I'm so proud of you son." Chairman Miller was to overwhelm that he can't put to words what he has in mind.
George looked at his father. "Dad can we officially make him our family, my brother? No one is claiming him and the injuries he has are enough proof that he's not being treated well to where he came from."
Chairman was taken aback from what his son's suggestion. He have been wanting to bring up the topic of adopting the boy but he knows that his son doesn't like the Omega. He doesn't want his only son to be hurt just because he wanted to take responsibility of the poor unknown Omega who he happens to cross path, but what his son just said shocked the heck out of him.
"Dad?" George wave his hand in front of his Dad. "Are you ok?" George asked.
"I'm fine I was just surprised. I Know you don't like him so I was not really expecting to you to suggest that thing to me." Chairman Miller said.
"Dad if we adopt him then he can finally have a name, We can finally name him right?" George excitedly asked.
"I think so, since he doesn't have any Identity and he's not in his right mind to even identify himself maybe we could choose a name for him that would serve as his new identity." Chairman Miller said.
"Then I have to go." George said to his father.
"Wait, where will you be going?" George was already far when his father asked.
"I will look for a good name that will suit my precious little brother." George shouted. Chairman Miller can only shake his head, he doesn't know that he will still going to see a different side to his son that he hasn't seen before. *Maybe because he's an only child, that he's this excited.* Chairman Miller thought. He took his phone out. "I want you to start preparing the papers. Yes it's about that, I want to adopt him to be my son." Chairman Miller couldn't contain the happiness he's feeling inside. He just hopes that starting now no bad things will going to happen to his son to be.

Tiana heave a heavy sighed that her husband noticed so he went to hug his wife from the back. "What's bothering you?" Robert asked, though he might have an idea on what might be bothering his wife he still want her to open up to him. That's how the relationship of the two revolves — by being open to each other.
"Nothing." Tiana simply answered, Robert who is not contented with his wife's answered let her go and place his hands on his wife's hips to turn her around so they could face each other.
"We have been married for more than 3 decades. I know when things are nothing and I know when there's something going on." Robert eye his wife who is in battle with herself wether to tell him or not.
"I'm still not giving up in finding him. Your son may have given up but I know he's not the kind of person to just disappear without any reason. I cannot make Terrence believe me but it doesn't mean I have to just sit pretty and wait for my daughter in-law to come back. I want to know why such a sweet kid as him would do that." Tiana explained. "I know I've only known him for a short while but I know a person when I see them."
"Your son is so stupid. Despite the fact that he is smart and used to be the top of his class he is pretty much stupid and dense when it comes to believing to the person he loves the most. What's the use of being a lawyer when you will just going to sentence your wife without even doing a trial to know what truth lies to each of his actions. I thought I already thought him that, that everyone will be deemed a suspect not a criminal unless the sentence has been passed on to that person. He didn't even gave his wife his chance to defend himself and Terrence just went on to pass on the judgement to him." Robert hug his wife, Tiana and Terrence has not been in good terms ever since Chester disappear. Both of them have different opinions on what happened. Tiana loves her son but she wants to stand to her ground because she has faith to Chester.
"So where are you going to start looking. That kid just disappear on the face of the Earth."
"I tried talking to his father and asked for every possible people that is related to his child I found out about the shark loan that Chester once owe. They may have something to do with that. Also while digging I found out about records Terrence came across. It was horrible. Though when you connect the dots together they don't fit cause first of all Chester stop selling his body when Terrence marked him so if they are the one's who is behind his disappearance then why chase after him now? Why not before?" Tiana asked.
"Do you think it's about the money? They tried to use Chester to get money from him?" Robert suspected.
"I was also thinking about that, but with that small amount? Do they think little of us? Are we that poor?" Tiana sarcastically asked.
"Hhhmmm probably since they thought Terrence is a lawyer thus he's making enough money which they thought that only worth that much. Remember he's not living in an extravagant house so if the one who is extorting Chester knows only little of Terrence true identity and how much he values he would think that he is worth only that much. There is a possibility that it's the case." Robert stated his own theory.
"You have a point, but if they want only just the money then why take him and my grandchild? Unless...." Tiana suddenly thought of something. "The man took Chester was somehow romantically involved with him!"
"But who? That's the question. There are tons of man who got involved with him intimately because of his job. Some of the have gone crazy cause they wanted him all for themselves." Robert asked.
"That's what we need to find out." Tiana looked at Robert. "So are you with me on this?" Tiana asked.
"Whatever my wife decides I'm always on it." Tiana smile at his Husband's thoughtfulness, she just wished that her son had gotten this side of his Husband but no her two son always jumps to conclusions when it come to their love ones. They don't use their heads to think.
*************************
Dexter fell flatly on the sofa out of tiredness. He has been secretly looking for Liam. He can't accept that he's gone more on he could not believe that the burnt corpse was his friends. So for months since the incident he still been looking for him to every stations and every hospitals, he even went as far as to look for foundations who houses people who has no home to go to in hopes he might find him there. Dexter feels like he has been looking for a needle in a haystack but still believe that all his hard work will pay off. "Dexter don't give up now, no one will look for him now but you." Dexter said to himself trying to convince his self to still believe a little longer when suddenly the light in the living room turn on.
"Is this the time that you usually go home Dex?" Said the woman who is leaning on the living room door frame. She was wearing this white and dark blue horizontal strips long sleeves paid with high waist 3/4 wide leg dark blue pants finished by her metallic rose gold 4 inches stiletto heels pumps.
"What are you doing here Dana?" Dexter bend down to take off his shoes while he waits for her to speak something.
"Daddy wants you to come home." She seated in the chair just across to his brother. "I think it has something to do with your marriage." Dexter stopped from what he was doing.
"Marriage? Is he trying to do to me what he did to you?" His sister just nodded.
Dexter leaned back to his coach and look up to the ceiling. He should have known better, he thought that his sister's marriage was enough for his parents but with what his sister is saying it doesn't seem that it was enough. It's clearly not enough to make him go the same path as her. He blows a loud breath.
"I'm not going to marry who ever that person maybe. I have someone Dana and I love that person. I won't, you can't force me I won't go home even if it's you. Even if you are my favorite amongst our siblings, I won't." Dana smiled after hearing what his brother said.
"I'm not here to force you, I'm here to inform you. Don't fall on the same path as me. The reason why Daddy is arranging that marriage is because my husband's company is already loosing so much money. I feel guilty about that too cause I know the only reason they have me married to him is because they will be beneficial to them but since after all what Daddy pulled Greg's company is in the brink of Bankruptcy."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Dexter felt pity towards his sister.
"Don't be, it's not you who stole money from Husband's business but it was Daddy and Danny." Dexter felt bitterness towards his older brother.
"He really takes after Dad. So how are you?" Dexter asked.
"I'm trying to hold on specially now that Greg found out. He doesn't have evidence though so I don't think he can win this one. Dad is forcing me to divorce him, recently he has been asking me to have dinner with one of his friends who he said owns a great company even greater than what Greg has. When I met the man that's when I get what Daddy wants from him and me."
"So you mean?"
"Yes he wants me to divorce Greg so he can wed me to another man." Dexter saw how the emotion to his sister's eyes change. "But this time I won't let him do as he wanted. I'm at the right age now. I'm no longer a naive little girl that he can control. I won't give up my marriage to Greg."
"Dana don't tell me that...."
"Yes I come to learn how to love him. He's not hard to love cause even from the start he already loves me, even after he found out about what Dad did he didn't took it out on me. So I will fight for him."
"Then I'll support you on that." Dexter felt proud of his sister.
"How about you?" Dana asked.
"Of course I will fight for my man that is something that don't need to ask." Dexter was confident, confident enough to go against his family. He won't let them break them apart nor to take advantage of the man he loves.
