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

Dexter looked at the watch from his wrist and sigh.

"Hey is there something wrong?" Lee asked when he noticed the worried look from Dexter's face.

"I'm just wondering if your friends are ok, Aiden sounds upset when I called him earlier it seems they already knew about Adrian's party." Dexter said honestly.

"They brought it upon themselves. I already told them to tell them the moment Adrian left. It might sound like we are betraying Adrian but I already told Adrian not to be selfish." Lee said as Dexter feeds him with a slice of apple.

"I'm just wondering if ever I was not there when Adrian said it would you tell me about it or are you just telling me that cause I happen to know it already?" Dexter is eyeing Lee suspiciously.

Lee looked at Dexter nervously, he was kind of relief to no be put in a tight spot like his friends cause Dexter was there when Adrian told them that but now he is being interrogated by his spouse he can't help but think of what would he actually do given the situation.

"Ahhhmmm Dexy." Lee begun, he's already starting to sweat his friends might be feeling the same thing now. He bet all of them are nervous as he is now to the point he's now wondering how his friends are doing as they speak.

"Be honest, I won't get angry." Dexter said, trying to be a very understanding husband to his recovering spouse.

"Well I want to honor my friendship with him but if it's with a different circumstances where I know Adrian will not be doing something wrong and won't hurt anyone in doing so then I think I will trust him and hide the fact from you. I will just try to explain it with his help but I know that what he's doing is very wrong so I told the boys to not tolerate Adrian and tell it to their partners and wives. So my answer in this situation is I will tell you." Dexter smiled at Lee he leaned in a little and kiss Lee to his lips his growing beard and mustache is rough and ticklish against his skin but Dexter doesn't mind.

"Good, no matter what it is I want you to tell me."

"Yes Sir!" Lee even made a salute gesture which only made Dexter laugh. He can see how much Dexter the love of his life is so happy, it shows in his eyes.

"I wonder how the boys are right now." Dexter suddenly thought.

"I don't know but one thing I'm sure they will all be toasted except for those two of course." Lee said.

"Hhhmmm I'm kind of curious though. Who's that person whom Adrian will going to get engaged to." Dexter asked.

"I don't know, Adrian said he also doesn't know but I don't think it's the same girl as it was before. Adrian broke off the engagement back then which put the whole family of the woman to shame so I doubt that it will still be with her." Lee said.

"Hhhhmmmm yeah you're right." Dexter gave Lee a slice of apple. "Well do you want to know what happens?" Dexter asked.

"Do we have a way to find out?" Lee asked. Dexter didn't say anything he just brought a two piece of hearing device he put one on Lee's ear and the other one is on his ear.

AT THE PARTY...

"Bbbrrrrr..." Lance felt the shiver at the sudden blow of the wind. "Fuck I'm getting a bad feeling on this. Damn it guys is this really a good decision?" Lance asked Zeejay.

"Yeah I'm also feeling the same thing and my guts is telling me to bail out, call my wife and confess!" Terrence agreed.

"Hey our wives will kill us if they happen to find out and they will kill Adrian too." Zeejay said.

"To heck with Adrian's death, he brought it upon himself." Lance rebut.

"Yeah we can just bury him and then problem solve, why do we have to attend this?" Terrence seconded.

"Duh because we have to stop the engagement from happening." Zeejay said.

"We don't even have a concrete plan so how are we even going to do that?" Lance asked.

"We don't even know who that person he's going to get engaged with." Terrence follow up.

"Relax guys we are here to stop the engagement well by the way my mother said according to Adrian's mother the person is a recessive Omega. The youngest son of Vladimir Witchburn." Derrek explained. "I'm also nervous about all this keeping it secret to our significant others. I have never seen Drake angry so please explained this properly to him. I still haven't married him yet what it he decided to not marry me anymore?" Derrek said worriedly.

"Hey marry him to a place where divorce is not legal." Zeejay suggested with a playful smirk on his face.

"Fuck! Don't put such thoughts in my head even though I want to tie him forever with me but I don't want to give him with no option to get out of our marriage. I'm not that kind of person I want to give Drake freedom to make decisions but also I don't want him to leave me too so I'll work hard to make him continue with his decision to be with me....." Derrek went silent for a moment then he looked at them. "Fuck with what is happening right now Drake might choose to leave me. You guys better fix this for us after."

The guys where stunned after hearing Derrek curse, the man doesn't curse he is the modest of them all but his worry is getting him agitated.

"Don't worry we will explain properly to him." Zeejay put his arm around Derrek's shoulder.

"Coming from you who can't even make a stand on Nick." Derrek said.

"Ok, ok enough so continue with the information about Adrian's fiance." Terrence asked.

"Vladimir Witchburn, I heard his name. The man owns the Firerise airlines and Firerise port not just in our country but in also other countries as well. They are not in the top riches family here but they are one of the riches. The man is low-key I mean he rarely attends parties so not many knew him even his eldest son. I can't even remember the name of the man much more the youngest. Well from what I know Vladimir died years ago and it was his son who runs the business now but same as his father he is also a low-key person." Lance said.

"Well when it comes to business world our Lance here has so many information." Zeejay pat Lance's back.

"To add no one knew about the existence of the youngest son Omega until recently. The kid was never mentioned untill the recent years. It is like he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. From what I can think this marriage is to make sure that Adrian's parents will have access to their airlines and ports now that they are targeting to make their business international." Taekyun interject.

"Hey you're here too and you're with Theee---o" Lance said in surprise. His sweat is now finally forming after seeing Theo, not just him but the other boys as well. All of them have the same thing in mind and that is if Theo knows there's a chance that their spouses also know.

"Hey guys." Theo said like it was nothing which made Lance and the other breathe in relief. They thought that Theo didn't tell it to their wives since the Omega is not angry.

"Hi Theo so how are the twins?" Terrence asked.

"They are fine, actually they are growing so fast." Theo happily answered back.

"Kids really they grow up so fast one second they are still in your arms." Terrence said.

"And next minute they are already out there calling a cops on you and sending you to jail." Zeejay interject which made him gain all the gaze of his friends. "What?!"

"You have never taken care a baby before not even your own son." Derrek was the first one to break the silence.

"You are not valid to make a statement here. You got Zay when he's already almost in his teens." Lance added.

"Hey why are you roasting only me? What about Terrence? When he met Thirdy the kid is already four." Zeejay said.

"True but he's the one who took care of the twins so basically the man has a point." Taekyun said.

"Well whatever once Nick and I have a baby again you won't be able to say that to me again." Zeejay sneered at them.

(Ow that man is so dead, he thinks he can have his way to me NO! I'll make sure he won't have if for a month I swear.) Theo laugh at what he heard.

"I think that plan of yours will have to wait." Theo commented.

"No, you see my wifey is very obedient he can't say no to me. I'm sure before the end of this month we will have little Zee or Nick in my Wifey's tummy." Zeejay excitedly said.

(Huh! End of this month my ass, I'll make sure what he will get are blue balls not just by the end of this month but by the end of the next month.) Theo heard the others laugh.

(Easy Nick remember the plan, set your anger aside though I agree you should teach your husband a lesson.) It was Dexter's voice.

{ I thought you don't want to get involve in this since you're there when Adrian made that announcement." Aiden asked.

(Let's just say I'm here for the gossip and entertainment.) Dexter said honestly, then they heard a laugh on the other side of the line.

(Was that Lee?) Chester asked.

(Yep, missus it's me. I hope you won't kill my friends after tonight or it will be hard for me to bury them all.) Drake clicked his tongue after hearing Lee.

"Well if your friends have been honest and told us this then we wouldn't be sneaking in this party.) Drake said.

(Derek is a good man you know that right our other friends are assholes including me so don't be too hard on him." Lee said.

(Hey Lee do you also want to feel our wrath? If you don't then just shut up. We will deal with those boys after this night.) Nicolas said.

(Hey hey, Tigers focus on your duties we still yet to get the important guest of all. Nick you are in right, you have the package?) Axel asked.

(Yes I'm all set.)

(Go to the bathroom in 10 minutes I will do the first blackout. I will cut the power off so make sure that you will be there in 10 minutes that will be your cue. Leave the package on the Fourth cubicle of the restroom and then leave you will only have 10 minutes. You have to be out there before the lights are on.) Axel gave Nicolas the instructions.

(Chester.) Aiden called, Chester.

(Yes, I can hear you.) Chester said.

(What you and Nick tasks need to happen simultaneously. So once the blackout start make sure to sneak Nash in at the back side of this mansion. Not much is guarding that side so as plan we will sneak Adrian in from that side. Axel will replace the CCTV'S with repetitive footage so they won't know what is happening if ever someone will see you, you already know what to do that's why we put you in that task." Aiden said.

(Ok, noted Ai.) Chester confirmed.

(The second blackout will happen once Nash is in and this time it will be shorter or they will going to get suspicious. So Nash can you hear me?) Axel asked.

(Yes I can.) Nash said.

(You have to run once the second blackout start go to the rest room and get change. Nicolas will leave all your change clothes there after that find Drake.) Axel instructed.

(Once everyone is on their position I will come inside the party so make sure to do your job properly.) Aiden said.

Before they start everyone did their duty for people not to get suspicious but when the program start suddenly all the power in the mansion got cut off, not even the generator and power supply works everyone is whispering in the dark and the personnel's are panicking but after a short time the power went back. The host continued his speech and the program resume like nothing happened. Then the second blackout happened again which created fear and panic but it didn't last long as the first one.

(He's in Aiden, he's with me.) They heard Drake's voice on the other line.

(How does he look?) Aiden asked.

(Dashing.) Drake replied.

(Of course, I'm the one who chose his suit. So how are you Nash?) Axel asked.

(To be honest I'm nervous... I'm wondering if this is right. I mean he already decided to be with that person so what am I doing here?) They can hear the cracking of Nash voice.

(For confrontation, cause you are not running away from the problem.) Aiden answered.

(For closure so you can moved on with any weights dragging you down.) Axel added.

(So you can show them the person who they waisted.) Nicolas said.

(So you don't have any regrets and what ifs.) Chester said.

(Hey you don't have to be afraid we are with you till the end of this so chin up and don't worry we got your back.) Drake said.

(I want to say something but they might get suspicious so good luck you can do this.)

Everyone in the party are waiting for that moment for Adrian's family to make an announcement. Aiden on the other hand had sneak in by pretending to be one of the chief with the help of Chester who are applied to work there for that day. Everyone are waiting for the right time the right time to show Adrian what he's waisting and the heart he's breaking without making so much scene. Everyone waited till Adrian's mother step in the middle with a microphone in her hand.

"I hope everyone is enjoying their selves in this party but aside from all the charity work we have a very important thing to announce." Adrian's mother said as her opening. "It is not new to you people that my second son Adrian is not getting any younger but no matter how much a son loves his family and doesn't want to be apart from them he still needs to go and make a family of their own." Adrian's mother extended her arm signaling Adrian to come in the middle. So Adrian did what his mother told him.

"Everyone my son Adrian and dear come here." everyone's eyes are on the direction where his mother is looking.

But the light went off and only a sound of a hand clapping can be heard then a spotlight appeared illuminating that one person who's in a full black suit that looks like he's mourning that complements his tan complexion. The man is dashing, he looks sexy in his tight fitted suit with his black polo which has two buttons open.

(He's like an ugly duckling turned into a beautiful white swan.) Said Chester said.

(No more like a fierce black swan.) Aiden corrected.

(Well his man will have a hard time taking that beauty back.) Axel added.

(If our black swan still wanted him to comeback, it's his second time tsk tsk that man doesn't listen to advises.) It was Lee who commented.

(Well you have a point,.but what's with the spotlight? I thought you said you don't want to make a bigger scene?) Drake asked.

(To make his entrance dramatic.) Axel answered.

(You really are something Axel, I'm begining to like you.) Nicolas complimented.

(Hey have you ever asked Axel if he likes you though?) Lee interrupted.

(Shut up Lee!) Nicolas said.

(Hey be quiet you all, we don't want to miss this remember we need to have Nash's back.) Aiden said reminding them of their objective.)

"I wasn't informed of this important event." Nash begin.

"And who might you be?" The woman asked.

"Ma'am I don't think that I have changed that much for you to forget me already." Nash said, then he looked at Adrian who's figuring out who he might be.

"I used to work for your son." Nash can see the surprise in Adrian's eyes.

"I-I can explain." Adrian said, his eyes is like begging.

"You should have told me before I have found it out from the others." Nash gave him a light smile, not even a trace of sadness can be seen to his eyes neither happiness. His eyes is empty of emotion which made Adrian fear for the unknown.

Adrian is already ready to run towards Nash his mother hold his arms tight. "I don't know what you want but if you're done you can go now. We have far more important thing to do."

"I know I just want to give my congratulations to your son." Nash said.

Adrian's mother smirk at him before talking. "It wouldn't be fair to only give your congratulations to my son only, how about you stay and give your congratulations to my son's future wife."

"I thought I wouldn't be introduced anymore." All eyes went to the voice of the person standing in the dark, their eyes are glued at the beautiful white face of a man that has a silver blond hair.

Nash looked at the pretty man for a minute there he felt insecure and little just by looking at him. (Don't get intimidated Nash.) Nicolas whispered but Nash didn't move he was like frozen and petrified to where he's standing but a warm hand patted his shoulder with assurance.

"We are very much looking forward to meer you that my friend here even allotted his precious time just to give his congratulations." Aiden said. "Right Nash?"

"Ah yes I wanted to give my sincere congratulations to both of you." Nash said.

"Fuck Aiden is here!" Terrence said hysterically, he's looking around to see if Chester is with Aiden.

"Fuck! That's why I told you this is a bad idea, my wife is finally opening up to me and this happens. He won't let this slide." Lance put the blame on Zeejay.

"Relax why are you two so pussy? You're too afraid of your own spouses." Zeejay said.

"Nick wants to pass you a message, he says we will see who's the pussy later." Everyone's eyes turn to the person behind Zeejay.

"Ki-kitten let me explain, it was not my idea." Terrence quickly move to Chester's side but Chester only looked at him and turned his back.

"I still have work to do, I just delivered Nick's message. About this we will talk later." Chester's voice is so cold that got all of them silent.

"I'll call Drake." Derrek try and call Drake but his call couldn't get through. "I know he knows about this, he never turned off his phone before. He might be here as well."

"What are you congratulating us for? We still yet to make the announcement." The beautiful man said.

"Then might as well make the announcement." Another ma appeared, he is a handsome tall, clean shave bearded man, the stable of his beard that reaches around his chin up to the side of his hair and his chiseled jaw makes him look sexy yet very manly. "Forgive my brother he likes to sometimes give a special element of surprise. Well let me introduce myself first.I know most of you doesn't know me that much but my name is Victor Witchburn the first born of Vladimir Witchburn and this pretty man here is my youngest brother Jeffrey Witchburn. I am hoping that you will take good care of my brother, Adrian Rocchi."

The man faced the audience and confidently made the announcement. "As you heard it the Rocchi and Whitchburn are officially tying the knot this year." Nash waited for Nash to say anything, to denied what the man just said but he just stay there silent without saying anything much more do anything.

Nash smiled bitterly as he watch the whole thing, deep down inside he's hurting and yet he decided to be strong, he refused everyone to see how hurt he is. He wouldn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing him get hurt and down because of what happened. He wanted to engraved in Adrian's mind the image of him upholding his pride. "I think I can now make my congratulatory greetings official. I have prepared a simple treats for you as my thank you." Chester, Drake and Nicolas appeared from behind with a huge layered of Cake covered with black fondant frosting, designed by candied black butterflies that look so much real in the naked eyes. The cake is so pretty that it made the guess gasp in astonishment. "Don't worry it is not poisoned." Nash then looked at Adrian's direction. "Good bye Adrian." Nash turned his back and start walking away.

"No, don't go." Adrian whispered. He tried to step his foot but his mother held him again.

"Adrian!" There's a hint of warning to her tone. "Remember what I just told you. You know better not to cross me this time."

Meanwhile on Axel's side...

Everything is getting exciting for Axel as he watch things to go down. He was deeply entertained, there's nothing more pleasing to him than to see an Alpha caught off guard doing something he shouldn't have. "I think I bought a chip here with me, wait let me see. Ow here." He was really enjoying it he made things more dramatic by putting the spotlight on Adrian. "The man is dashing what a waist I bet his Alpha would have a hard time trying to get this beauty back." Axel said to himself but the next scene is not something that Axel expected. The appearance of the man that Nash's man will be getting engaged to is someone that he doesn't want to get involved with it is not enough that he had seen the Omega but the Alpha that he hàs known very well is what made Axel's heart pound hard, he was already sweating cold that he felt like running but his whole body is petrified and stuck to his place.

(I think it is your doing that blackouts, it is you right?) The man who introduced himself as Victor said brought Axel's senses back to reality. (My man are already in search for that person and once we got him I'll make sure you will be reliable for it.)

Axel quickly grabbed his things, he made sure to make a clean exit not leaving of any evidence that will point him out.

(You can try but the only thing I can say to you is that I don't know what you're talking about.) Axel can hear Aiden's voice, clearly he's talking to Victor.

(I love how confident you are, may I know what you're name is.) Axel is pretty sure that it was Victor who asked.

(Why would you want to know the name of the man you just met? I'm pretty sure you will be able to forget it as soon as I'm out of your sight so I don't think it's necessary to even know me.) Aiden replied.

(With that pretty face and smart mouth I don't think I will be able to forget it.) Victor said.

Axel went to the place where he entered.

(Brother, I think he's in a hurry.) Axel is sure that it was Jeffrey who was talking base on his tone that has a hint of jealousy in it.

"Don't answer him, don't tell him your name Ai. I know he will be able to find out soon but we have to conceal as much identity of yours as possible." Axel said.

(I better get going, as you can see I still have a man to console tonight.) Aiden said. Axel was able to breathe when Victor didn't say anything.

"I'll be off first let's just meet..."

(Go meet here in the hospital.) Dexter suggested.

"Will it be possible? It's already quite late." Axel asked.

(I will be informing the nurses. Aiden and Nash don't go straight to the hospital make sure to stop by somewhere. I think these guys are bad news.) Dexter suggested.

"How did you know?" Axel asked.

(Base on your voice and action, it seems you know who these people are. Save the details for later, make sure no one tails you.) Dexter said.

"Roger that, see you later." Axel came out of the sewer. He changed clothes and make sure no one saw him. He got on the bus put an earphone to his ears and listen to the recording of his husband's voice as it sings which he secretly recorded whenever Jules is singing. His voice is what gives him the comfort whenever his anxiety is striking. Axel close his eyes he's trying to forget the faces of the men he doesn't want to meet anymore.

"The world really indeed is small." Axel smiled bitterly. He tried to listen to his husband's voice once again when his phone rings. He looked at the caller ID and it's the love of his life. "You really know when to call me." Axel didn't know that such simple call can make him this happy forgetting all the fear and anger he's feeling right now.

(How are you? Did the operation went well? I looked to your GPS so I'm guessing that you are already out of there? Is my sweety ok?) Axel laughed at the many questions that his husband is throwing at him.

"I love you, I love you so much. What will I do if you are not here with me." Axel keeps on repeating the words I love you, he doesn't know why but right now he's just so thankful he had found Jules that he didn't even noticed the tears fell from his eyes until an old woman who's sitting next to him handed him an tissue.
