Happy Reading 😊!

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

Lance got up from where he's seated, he went to his car and drive himself back to the hospital. His Mother got up when he enters Lander's room. Just last night they where able to transfer Lander to an ordinary room because of his fast recovery.

"Son it's still so early why are you here?" Elizabeth said in worry, she can see dark circles around Lance eyes which indicates that the Alpha had not slept last night.

Lance didn't say anything and just walk right towards his son. He brushes Lander's hair while looking at him with so much questions in his eyes.

"Lance, son why don't you sit here?" His father offered. "It looks like you haven't slept a wink since last night, why don't you take a sit and maybe you could use some little sleep."

"I need to see Lander's Doctor dad." Lance answered, the only words he was able to uttered since the moment he came in.

"Lander's Doctor won't be here till 9. His shift ended last night. If you need something from him then take a rest first and we will just wake you up when he gets here." They let Lance sit on the long sofa that later on turned into his bed. He was laying and sleeping there like a child.

"It must have been the DNA results that kept him up all night." Elizabeth said, looking at her wornout son. Son that has always been so proud of his status and achievements, A son that is so particular and meticulous to all the things around him even with the clothes he wears are now all gone. The only thing she could see now is a man who was cheated by destiny, taking from him the love of his life. holding on to that string of hope that somehow his other half is still alive somewhere and that little child over there is the little miracle by their love. Although Elizabeth knows that the chances are for Lance wishful thinking to come true is close to zero they didn't say anything cause they don't want to crush Lance hope when they themselves as their son's parents are also hoping for the impossible. The two just let Lance sleep till three hours had passed and it was already 10 in the morning.

"Should I wake him up? He wants us to wake him up by 9 but it's already 10 now." Leandro said.

"I'll go see the Doctor first when I come back that's when we will wake him up." Elizabeth said. She got up and went out of the room. She looked for Lander's Doctor and asked him about the DNA results.

"Yeah the results are here. Is Mr. Montero here?" The Doctor asked.

"Yes he is in my grandson's room. Won't you mind if I make a call?" Elizabeth asked.

"No I won't mind."

Elizabeth called her husband and asked him to wake Lance up. Minutes later Lance came running to the Doctor's office. He was still catching his breath when he get in.

"Take a sit. Mr. Montero."

Lance took a sit. The Doctor handed to him a brown sealed envelope containing the DNA results which he asked three days ago. Lance trembling hands struggle to open the first envelope that contains him and Lander's results and Lance after seeing that him and Lander is 50% match. He opened the second envelope and looked at the results. "0%?" Lance looked at the Doctor. "Does it mean?"

"Yes, I'm sorry but Ms. Salvacion is not the biological Mother of Lander." Elizabeth gasp and tears starts to well up. She can't believe it that Lance is right all along.

"I never had anyone other than Liam." Lance looked at his mother. "Mom you said you know who Liam's parents before. Can you help me arrange a meeting with them?" Lance said the moment they entered Lander's room.

"I need to know the truth." Lance said.

"No need actually they are the ones who supplies your Chain hotels furnitures and fixture." Elizabeth answered. "Bea is backing them up."

"How?" Lance asked he was curious since when his mother knows about this.

"I run an investigation after you told me that, though I was doubting if there's a possibility that Bea is not really Lander's Mom I still run an investigation to them that turns out that Bea and the Sy's do have some connections after all. What about Bea? What do you plan to do with her?" Elizabeth asked.

"I need to get Lander's custody first, I won't let her hurt my child again. Second I need to know what happened to Liam, after hearing what you said I'm now convinced that Lander is our son no need for any test to prove that. Bea and Liam's family worked together to break us apart. That I can't forgive." Lance said.

"We will take advantage the fact that Bea knows nothing and that she thinks that the wedding is still on. Dad I want to asked for your help."

"Sure what do you want me to do?" Leandro asked.

"I want you to tail the Sy family, know what happened in that 5 years time, who went in and out of their house and if Bea has been there for personal reasons. I wan to know all about it."

"Sure just give me some time to arrange that." Leandro said.

"Mom can you arrange my son's papers? Lander will be leaving in my house, he won't be back to that house again."

"I will deal with Bea and the Sy's myself. While you do all that behind them, I will deal with them in front."

After that Lance called Ms. Kim to set an arrangement for the President of the Sy's corporation this evening. Lance know that if he wants to start somewhere that will be to go directly to the person's in question and those are Liam's family and the best way to get information is to actually talk it over on the table with alcohol serve. It took just a minute before Tasha called to inform him that Troy the president of the Corporation agreed with his short noticed invitation.

Evening came and Lance was first to go the meeting place. It took more than 30 minutes after their meeting time before the man who he never met appeared in front of him greeted and extended his hand for a shake. *This must be Troy Sy.* Lance thought.

"Go on take a sit." Lance said gesturing for the man to sit across him.

"I'm sorry that I was late. The traffic was so heavy so...."

"No that's ok, I didn't wait that long as a matter of fact I just got here too." Lance lied about him being late cause he got there early.

At the start of the night the two talked about business as they have their dinner while drinking at the same time. It was Lance who insisted for the two to drink. Lance even told him to drop the formalities and to just call him as Lance, all just to get his trust. When Lance think that the man is already drunk, he proceed with his plan.

"Aaahhhmmm Troy, how are you related to Bea?" Lance asked.

"Bea?" The man think before answering.

"Ah Bea Salavacion that hot woman?"

"Yes that's her." Lance confirmed, but Troy just laughed. "Hhhhmmm let me see, I sometimes fuck her damn she's so hot specially on bed. My wife can't even compare to her. She told me I was hot so she let's me fuck her whenever she wanted to." Lance can't believe what he was hearing, that she was about to marry an old cheating conniving woman if he happen not to know that Lander is not the Woman's son.

"Ssshhhh that's our little secret ha? I mean you told me earlier that we are like brother's now and brothers do share." The man laugh. It is true that getting drunk will make you spill all the beans.

"Of course not, I don't mind sharing if it's for my brother like you." Lance said riding alone with the man's drunken state.

"So what is you and your family's relationship with her other than your relationship on bed?" Lance asked again hoping that it will get him some answers.

"Bea is Dad's friend. You see she came to our house I think five years ago to asked our father and months after that Liam the blackship of the family came." Troy said.

"Liam?" Lance clenched his fist.

Yes, He was really pregnant at that time." The man laughed.

"I mean who would dare to knock up that good for nothing Omega?"

"Yeah who would." Lance said in a dry tone.

"Well Monica's boyfriend I think tried to have sex with him but Monica caught them on act. That good for nothing Omega doesn't really care who to seduce as long as he get to have sex it doesn't matter who." Lance is trying to calm himself down from hitting the man. He knows that it was not Liam who seduce him cause Liam is bonded to him. Unless it was that jerk is the one who tried to voilated his wife.

"Monica out of anger poured his face with the Hydrochloric acid." Troy informed.

"What?!" Lance suddenly shouted that all eyes suddenly turned on them, the man seems to suddenly stopped talking. He sit up straight and tried to make his face looked friendly. He knows if he wants to get all the information he wants, then he has to fake it till he gets everything.

Lance suddenly laughed. "That Monica is a blast! Not everyone has a guts to do that in real life. I thought it just happens in the movie." Lance said ecstatically but inside he was bursting with so much rage that he wants that Monica dead no matter what.

The stiff and scared face of Troy suddenly smiled and laughed after confirming that the formidable Alpha is not angry but actually enjoying the conversation. "Yeah Monica don't like Liam, I mean to be honest Liam has always have this seductive vibes on him, the innocent look he has makes him more tempting — a real temptress. That's why I can't blame Monica." Lance can only agreed to that but his wife's body is just his and no one is allowed to touch it much more have a taste of it.

"So who is this Monica? I must say she got my respect what a brave woman for pulling that off." Lance pour the man another drink.

"Monica is my sister." Troy answered after that he drink the glass clean that Lance poured him another one.

"So how was that trash Omega the your sister poured with that acid?" Lance asked. He was really curious after what happened to Liam.

"His face is beyond recognizable, like you are looking at a melted plastic. Have you seen that old movie a child's play? The part where chucky was poured by a melted plastic? He looks something like that now... Aaarrgggghhh disgusting."

Lance wanted to scream in anger, he will definitely going to make that Monica suffer the same thing she did to his beloved wife. He swore to himself.

"So what happened to him? I mean you told me he was still pregnant when you brought him in. Did the acid incident affect the child in anyway?"

"No the acid incident happened months after he gave birth."

"So what happened to him when he gave birth?" Lance poured the man's glass again.

"Anyways my good for nothing brother gave birth, but the child was almost dead. Bea came and took it to a hospital. I heard that she even took it overseas to make sure the child will live." The man laugh again, Lance handed him another glass of alcohol. *So that explains why Bea have Lander.*

"So where is your good for nothing brother?" Lance asked? "Is he still with you?" The man drink his glass. He looks like he was about to pass out from too much drunkenness.

"So do you have any idea where he is?" Lance asked.

"Nope no idea, Dad said we should not tell anyone about where my brother is...." The man said before finally falling asleep on the table.

Lance sighed, Now that he was indeed sure that Liam is still alive. The only thing he needs to know is where does this family and Bea hides Liam. He can't make any drastic decisions, for now he needs to be friendly to them to get their favor till he knows where his wife is. He can't risk his wife's safety without being sure to his whereabouts. Lance called Ms. Kim and told her to send someone to assist the man and to book that man a room to stay. He got up leaving the man wasted.

"Hello Dad, Liam is alive. They are keeping him, I don't know where but we have to find him at all cost. I will make sure to make this family and Bea pay once I got my hands on my wife."

(Leave it to me, I'll find Liam.)

"Dad find a good surgeon." Lance said.

(Why what happened?) Lance can hear the worry on his father's voice.

"His sister poured his face with an acid. It was severely damage. I don't want my wife to leave with such an ugly scar caused by those monsters."

(Fuck!) the only thing that his father said.

"I think I will end up killing someone if I don't find him soon."

(We will find him soon, don't worry.)

"Lander is my and Liam's son but for legal purposes I took some of Liam's brother's hair. I'll take it to the hospital so they can have it tested. I'm driving my way there."

(Take care, I'll see you later son.)

"Thank you Dad." Lance said before dropping the call.

"Liam, now that I know that you are still alive I will make sure to find you and never let you go."

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

Even though it was already evening everyone in the camp site is still as lively as it was in the morning. Since this will be their last night in the area and tomorrow afternoon they will move to their next destination. The school Chairman hold a celebration to give thanks to all Parents, students and teachers who participated in fixing the school. They set up a bond fire and after having their dinner they sit around it. They played a game that who ever the ball stop to needs to get in the middle of the circle to share their thoughts. Everyone shared their thoughts about their experience in helping building a good educational environment for the Omega kids. Others said that they enjoy doing things they never thought they will ever do. Some complains that it was not something they signed up for. When it was Terrence turns to share, he got up and start sharing his thoughts and experiences. "First I was really thankful that my whole family get to have this chance to join this event. I am happy that I get to spend time and bond with them. To be honest I have been a very irresponsible father. I never really attend to their needs. I don't really get to have a proper talked with my boys." Terrence laughed. "Uno, Dos. I'm sorry for being a sorry excuse of a father to you two. From now on I promise to always be there for you two and also for your baby brother Thirdy. To my wife, Kitten I love you so much, more than life itself. No matter what happens I will always love you." Terrence said. "Ow I always wanted to do this, Sir I'll be back." Terrence run out of the circle till his body cannot be seen from the dark, it took 2 minutes or so before he came back running with a guitar to his hand. He stand in the middle, tuned the guitar and looked at his wife.

"Everytime I hear this song it was you who always enters my mind. It came to the point that I begun to hate this song at the same time can't help but sing it repeatedly for five years that passed. Now I know why. Chester my wife I think each lyrics of this song tells my true feelings for you." Terrence start strumming the guitar.

"🎵It's how you used to say

I love you and I miss you🎵"

Terrence remembers those times when Chester's keep on telling him how much he loves him and misses him whenever he goes out of country for his job.

"🎵It's how you pretend to love me then

When you wandered off the things we've done before

Now it's too late to turn back anymore🎵"

When Chester left him he thought if Chester's love was not true.

"🎵I used to say I love you

I used to say I miss you

And now it's all gone

Are we fading away.🎵"

Terrence remembers those times when he says how much he loves his wife that was seem so far away when Chester left them.

"🎵Are you coming back into my arms

To love me again

I love you I miss you

I need you now

More than ever

More than words can say

I love you and I miss you

I need you more today🎵"

Even though he was deeply hurt and even if he hates Chester so much. He can't help but give in to his heart that's been longing for his other half. That after trying to deny things the truth will always come out that he is in fact still in love with him.

"🎵You're all I ever wanted

And all I ever needed

Even if you pretend

Please love me again.🎵"

He finally realized just how much he needs Chester that without him he will be in a messed. He doesn't want to comeback to that dark pitch hole he's been since Chester walk out of their lives. Even if he begs him just to get his love he will surely doit.

"🎵Are you coming back into my arms

To love me again

I love you I miss you

I need you now

More than ever

More than words can say

I love you and I miss you

I need you more today🎵"

What Terrence has been wanting for years that he tried to deny is the fact that he wants his Omega to Comeback to him and now that he is actually here. He plans to keep him forever beside him. If the Omega doesn't love him then he will just have to make him fall for him. Everything, he will do everything just to make Chester his.

Everyone clap with so much amazement to how Terrence beautifully and emotionally sings the song. Everyone in that circle can't help but feel how much love the Alpha has for his wife that the rumors about his philandering instantly vanished. They are convinced that a man who is that deeply in love with his wife won't ever resort to such activity. They put it in their minds that those were just rumors cause they are currently seeing the real thing happening right in front of them.

"Dad knows how to sing?" Uno asked in a Whispered.

"And he sings it for Mom." Dos added, the two are pretty much in shocked after their father pulled out such a cheesy stunt. Soon after they looked at their mother who was in an verge of crying.

When the activity ends all of them were asked to go back to their tents to rest for tomorrow will be a long day for them all. Chester tried to sleep but can't, he was still thinking about what happened earlier. He's scared to give his heart to the Alpha who is his husband. He knows that he is already in love with the Alpha in the short time they are together, he can't stop his heart from beating for him. He doesn't know why, he came to hate his past self because of the thought that his old him left an amazing man such as Terrence. He can feel the depth of Terrence love for him that he feels envious and jealous to his own self. *Chester you are so stupid! How can you leave such an amazing man.* Chester cried. His eyes pop wide open when he felt a strong arms hug him from behind.

"Kitten, why are you still awake?" Terrence asked.

"You always tells me that you love me. Aren't you afraid that I'll leave you again?" Chester asked.

"That is my greatest fear, I know how painful it is to be left by the person you love but I'm thinkinb to just make you fall for me to the point you won't be able to live without me. Aren't you already falling for me Kitten?" Terrence asked.

Chester didn't say anything Terrence question hit the nail straight on its head. "Silence means yes, I think my charm is working." Terrence chuckled.

"Just let yourself fall kitten I will definitely catch you. I won't hurt you and I will love you for the rest of my life. You won't regret loving me. Even if I have to beg for your love I will." Chester can feel his back getting wet. He turned around and raised Terrence head and there he saw tears from Terrence eyes. He can't believe just how much this man loves him. He can't take to see those tears the he hug the Alpha.

"Don't cry, I love you Terrence is just that I'm scared what if it's true that I left you for the other man? What if my memory returns and I decided that your arms is not the place where I belong to. I'm scared that I might end up hurting you again."

Terrence raised his head and looked at Chester. "Is that true? Do you really love me?"

"Yes but...."

"The past doesn't matter we can start over again. The fact that you love me is already enough for me. I'll just have to make sure that no other man will take my place to your heart." Terrence hold Chester's hands and kissed them. "Please stay with me, please be my wife again though we are still husband and wife but I want to hear you say it." Terrence beg.

"But what if...."

"Trust me, cause I will trust you. Trust your own feelings. I love you Chest, you are the only one for me." Chester let his tears rolled down from his eyes and cried. Terrence kissed both of his eyes till it reaches his lips. Chester's body stiffened at the moment but he thought it was Terrence.

Terrence nibble his lips tasting the lips he hadn't had a taste for five years. He was getting hungry by the seconds that he slightly bit it so Chester could open it that Omega do so. Terrence took this chance to slid his tongue inside his wife's mouth tasting every corner of his mouth. The kiss gets deeper and deeper that Terrence wants more. He pushed Chester's body so he could lay flat on his back and without breaking the kiss he got on top of him.

Chester doesn't know what to feel, everything was new to him the sensations and the feeling that Terrence do to his body. His heart is beating so fast that the only thing he could hear is his own heart. He felt Terrence pushed him and seconds later the Alpha go on top of him, he got scared for a second but he knows that the Alpha won't hurt him, that he loves him and that he loves him too. The kiss is getting deeper and Terrence hands begin to roam hi upper body sliding his hand inside his shirt finding that sensitive spot that no one has touched for years. Chester moan when Terrence pinch it. Terrence left his mouth to ravished his neck, sucking and biting it, tasting every part of his neck like it was some sort of food he has been craving for but could not have. Chester closed his eyes and felt the sensations and heat spread to his body.He bite his lips suppressing the moans that are trying to escape his beautiful mouth afraid that their children might woke up because of what they were doing. Chester felt that Terrence raised his shirt up and feast on his nipple while the other hand keeps on playing his other nipple. He put both of his hands to his mouth trying hard to control his moans. Till he felt Terrence other hand moves to that forbidden place that no one has ever reach for years. Chester felt like his whole body got electricute when Terrence begin to pump him up. "Aaaahhhmmmm, uuhhhhmmm"

Terrence did it till he felt his wife shakes because of his released. Terrence hardly make his wife cum from the front cause he always goes for the back. He tried to reach further and whispered. "Looks like my Kitten is very wet." Chester look at him like all his energy has been drained. He kiss his wife on his forehead before inserting one finger in. Chester moan. " Kitten don't moan too much or they might wake up." Terrence whispered before placing another finger inside. He start speeding up, he got surprise when Chester pulled him for a deep kiss, both tongues are battling. Terrence miss this, miss all of this specially when Chester shows just how much he wants him through his body.

Chester could no longer keep it. He feels hot and wanting. That thing in between his legs is begging to be filled with something big and Terrence fingers is only making the wanting even more. He can no longer suppress all the moannings so he pulled the man to a deep kiss to make his mouth busy while the Alpha scissors him down there. Terrence scent doesn't make him scared it actually makes him calm he doesn't know but it makes him want to entrust his whole body and being to the Alpha till that voice that invades his dreams suddenly speak to his mind.

(You like it huh?) The unknown man who's face he could not recognized said. He can see himself begging and in pain.

(No please stop, it hurts, stop!") He shout, cold sweat dripping down his forehead as the man continue to take him from behind. He had throw up a couple of times.

(No Alpha would want a dirty Omega like you. Damn you're so tight. You are already pregnant and all but you are still this tight. Aaarrgggghhh.) He felt the man trembled as he had his released inside of him. He thought it was the end but the man carried him and lay him on his back to the cold hard floor. He tear his dress exposing his 9 months belly. He was crying when the man touch his belly.

(You don't want this child dead now do you?) He shake his head no.

(Please don't hurt my baby.) He cried

(Then spread that legs for me, open your dirty hole and moan like you are enjoying this or else I will cut you open myself and pulled that filthy baby out of you.)

(No don't please, please. I'll do what you say, I'll do it.) Chester opened his legs and let the man have his way to him. He moan like he enjoys it when in fact it feels like he was getting cut by a knife each time the man penetrates him, his body definitely is rejecting the man that is that the marker of his body.

(Call me by my name and beg me to fuck you harder the man commanded.) He can no longer hear anything when things starts to blur.

Terrence doesn't know what happened one minute Chester was moaning in pleasure then the next thing he knows is that he was kicking him and begging his to stop, telling him that it hurts. He tried to calm him down till he lost consciousness. Terrence can't help but get suspicious to what happened to Chester for his to act that way. That also happened the last time that he tried to touch him from the back. When he starts to enter him the pleasure he feel will turn to something that he terribly fears to the point of begging and pushing the people near to him. With all the cases he handles he can only assume one thing for Chester to act this way.

He put the kids to sleep again and let Chester rest after cleaning him up. He went out of the tent and asked the keeper of their phone to borrow his for an emergency purposes. Terrence turned his phone on and a lot of notification pop up including those from his friends but he ignore all of if. Terrence dialed the person that he knows that can help him. "Hello Jules."

(Cousin! Long time no talk, did you missed me?)

"I'm in a hurry Jules.I want you to investigate something for me. My mother and father found Chester....."

(YOUR WIFE?!)

"Yeah so back to my request....."

(Fuck Terrence you still accepted your wife after what he had done to you?!)

"Jules try to interrupt me again and I will make you eat this phone that I'm holding, you hear?"

(Yeah That's why I told you that I'm all ears and that my lips are tightly zip.)

"Anyways I want you to find out where my father and mother found my wife and look for the person who found my wife. I'll personally will pay a visit to that place and meet that person. Enough with the guessing game I need to find the truth."

(My information will come with a high price you know that.)

"Send me your bank details I'll wire you the amount."

(Alright, it seems that your wife really got you bad.)

"You won't understand it unless you fall in love." Terrence end the call. He blows a heavy breath before giving the phone back. He went to their own tent and looked at his sleeping wipe. He doesn't want to think the possibility of it to happen to Chester but based on his reaction the chances are high. Only the victims of such cases are the ones who shows such deep trauma. Terrence brush his wife's hair and kiss his fore head. He just lay there beside him looking at him not sleeping even a wink.

To be Continued.....

Chapter 24 Sneak peek

Nash is looking at Zeejay in disbelief, he has been nice to him since morning. Like for an instance this morning the Alpha greeted him with a smile and prepared a burnt toast for him for breakfast, not his usual greeting face that say 'I literally carries the problem of the whole world.'

When going to work the Alpha opened the door for him and let him in to the passenger side, Adrian even insisted to be the one to drive them.

And now the Alpha even thanked him for doing a job well done that he even invited him to have dinner with him later. Nash feels great and appreciated but he can't somehow shake the feeling that the Alpha is up to something. That If he lets down his guard he might be in big trouble.

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

Hi the song title is "I need you more today by Caleb Santos" it was used as an official sound track to a movie entitled as 100 Tula Para Kay Stella (100 Poem for Stella).

I really wanted to strangle Stella at the end of the movie hahaha but the moral of the movie is that you need to be vocal in what you feel cause rejection is much better than regrets.
