237 Epilogue

* * *

Applause emanated in the wide and spacious ballroom as two figures stood on the small stage for everyone to see. The speech was already spoken and the ribbon had already been cut beckoning the success of the opening.

Mie Empire Jewel is a newly opened sub-company for everyday use luxury jewelry brand by Mo Empire. The name Mie was decided by both Daniel and Laotian as a tribute to their deceased daughter, Mo Luangmie, believing that if their daughter was alive, she too would have liked pretty diamonds like any other men and women.

Honoring his close friend's brand, Mo Laotian decided that there will be no physical store erected in the country and instead, they will be using Ronald Ronner's company in Canada as the main. Being that Ronald had already been running a jewelry brand focusing on pearls, it was easily decided to add another brand focusing on diamonds after his presidential candidate, Gouta Malisili, won the election and became the president of Botswana. As promised, the man gave Laotian the rights to mine diamonds in the country and from then on, the process was smooth sailing, deeming the Mo Empire to climb the top 6 of the richest corporate companies in the world.

"Again, thank you everyone for coming tonight. Please enjoy the rest of the celebration," Daniel said after the applause silenced before Laotian finally guided Daniel out of the stage. Knowing that reporters will soon corner him and his wife for questions, he easily smuggled his wife out of the ballroom and to the elevator.

"Phew, finally it is over. I can't believe I had to make that speech in front of all those people," Daniel said, clutching his chest as his heart was still beating loudly. Because he was now the owner of his uncle's company, it was only right for him to do the opening and closing speech being that the Mie Empire Jewel was to be released using his inherited company.

"You were wonderful," Laotian coed tenderly. Truly, he could have just done all the bothersome stuff for Daniel but thinking that it would help the Omega if he was to learn how business works, he wanted to slowly train. Daniel is still young and although his beloved wife is trying to focus on their growing family, he didn't want the Omega to be just like that. Laotian wanted Daniel to be at the top as well, even though the time had not come, he wanted the Omega to be prepared when he was gone. Because like it or not, he will probably leave the world earlier than Daniel.

Of course, that's still far in the future. That's why slowly he will make it so that Daniel can stand on his own feet alone. After all, he already has two companies running in his name, and as much as Laotian wants to spoil his wife, half of him was thinking about what was the best for the Omega's future well-being.

"My hands were shaking earlier. That was the first time for me," Daniel exclaimed together with a relieved sigh. He still truly couldn't believe what he just did.

"Hmmm, you did great for a first-timer, and you'll get used to it in the future," Laotian replied before he brought his hand on Daniel's cheeks and caressed it softly. Because of the touch, Daniel stared at his husband, turning a little pinkish before suddenly hugging the Alpha, burying his face against Laotian's chest.

"Why do I have to do it?? Can't you just do it for me??" Daniel whined. He understood what Laotian was doing for him but he honestly didn't have a talent in business that's why even though his adopted father always told him when he was young that he was going to inherit the family's furniture company, he didn't take up business management and instead took up arts. He just wanted to be able to design furniture, not run a whole company since he can hire trusted people for that.

"I can but I want you to learn at least the basics," Laotian replied. He does not believe in the society where it is marked that Omegas are to stay at home with children and serve the husband. Of course, he doesn't mind that because he wanted to spoil Daniel and as long as he was happy but he believes Daniel could do great things. With him along his side as a great cheat, surely the Omega could reach his goals in life.

"Meanie," Daniel said, pouting after hearing Laotian to which the Alpha quickly found adorable, he had to hold himself at least before they reached their room. Since they are now at the Empire Hotel, it was easy for them to sneak out of the event hall and to their room.

"If you learn the basics in business I don't mind you accepting Joshua Bronson's offer," Laotian said that quickly made Daniel's eyes widen because he never told Laotian this yet, he was planning to tell him slowly soon because he knew the Alpha wouldn't accept it but he didn't expect Laotian already knows it.

"Ahhh, that loose mouth April. She told you, didn't she?" Daniel said in a slightly high-pitched tone before he pulled away from their hug and crossed his arm.

In reality, with Diego and Jordan Bronson no longer a threat to the family, Laotian was never going to stop Daniel from doing what he wants because he didn't want to restrict him but if he could use this to help improve Daniel, then he will take advantage of the situation where he could get the best outcome even if it would make him look like a tyrant in front of his beloved.

"Hmmm, Father retired completely and transferred all his people to me and Hanlu, she works for me now," Laotian replied with a chuckle. They are now in the hallway leading to the nearest elevator.

"That's so unfair, you always know what happening," Daniel whined again but that only made Laotian's eyebrows raise and then chuckled because as far as he knew April was a double edge sword, the woman also reports all his activity to Daniel allowing his wife to know what's he's been doing in the organization and who he's been meeting with. Laotian also believes that using his authority over the twins and Luangmin, Daniel had his little fingers wrapped around Hanlu's neck so there was nothing he could hide from him any longer whether in the company or organization because every little thing he does gets reported to him in a snap.

But of course, he won't blow it up for his wife so he quickly humored Daniel taking a step closer to the pouting Omega. He didn't really mind being monitored by Daniel if it would make him feel at ease. Also, he wasn't worried because he wasn't hiding anything from him anymore.

"Don't be upset. I'll be by your side always. I'm not asking you to learn quickly, you can slowly learn at your own pace, okay?" Laotian said, wrapping his arms around Daniel's smaller frame. He whispered sweet nothings against his ears while their body swayed lovingly before eventually, they started kissing.

"I'll be stubborn," Daniel warned.

"I'll be patient," They kissed briefly and then kissed again after Laotian replied.

As the kiss deepened, Laotian lifted Daniel into his arms while Daniel wrapped his legs around the Alpha's torso. Both of them are aware that they're still in the hallway and someone could suddenly pass by but none of them tried to mention this fact as they both wanted to enjoy the moment. Just the two of them, without the kids around.

"I-I might become too emotional at times," Daniel warned again, slightly drawing their lips apart.

"I'll comfort you," Laotian replied and quickly closed their lips again, making Daniel gasp, his heart swelling with so much love and affection that his body started heating up. When finally their lips drew away, heaving for air, their forehead rested against each other, their lips inches apart as they breathed the same air.

"I love you," Daniel suddenly said. The moment was so intimate, the thought that someone could suddenly pass by added thrill to the situation. This never happened before, they weren't the kind of couple who would just make out in public but right now, at this moment, it didn't feel wrong.

"We should hurry up and go to our room, I can't hold myself any longer," Laotian replied, making Daniel giggle and then hugging Laotian pressing his face against his neck.

"I want you too, Laotian," Daniel whispered softly. The moment Laotian heard it, he didn't bother putting Daniel down and headed straight to the elevator. From there things went pretty fast until they reached their room. Without a care in the world, tonight, it's just them.

Because tomorrow, their daily life together with their growing family continues. Enemies will still strike, they could still lose a friend and a family, and tears will still shed, but together, with each other, they'll get through any challenges.

It all started as a mistake, but now those mistakes led them to their own happy ending.
