Everyone is sleeping peacefully but in the silence of the night Terrence mind is running it's thoughts in different places, trying to answer the questions in his head. His wife's confession keeps bothering him he wanted to serve him justice just like all the clients who he had given him his service but he knows the consequences if he happens to do it in a legal way and the decision still falls to his wife in the end. He got up carefully not wanting to wake his sleeping wife up. The moment he got out of his apartment he dialed the number of someone who can help him with his dilemma. Terrence finally made up his mind.

(h.e.l.loooo?) grumpily said by the other person on the line. It sounds like he just woken up this person.

"Jules it's me Terrence." That simple sentence instantly made the other person fully awake.

(Cousin what makes you call me? Did you miss me?) Said the person on the other line. It made Terrence eye brow raised, if it wasn't for the favour he wanted to ask for the later he wouldn't even bother calling it in the first place.

"f.u.c.k you!" Terrence simply said.

(Ow thank you.) Jules respond like he was given a compliment by his favourite cousin. (Kidding aside what is it that you need? You won't be calling me in the middle of the night just because you miss me.)

Terrence heave a sigh. "There's a person I wanted you to investigate. I'll give you names tomorrow I want you to find out who are the person's involved in the two cases one from 5 years ago the other one is 6 years ago. I also want to know who is the chief that was a.s.signed in the prison where that person guilty of charge was detained."

The other person didn't respond to what Terrence said. Silence of the night is deftening but what's even more deftening is the silence of the person from the other line.

(Terrence it's not like you to investigate person's involved in cases that happened ages ago and what's with the chief of the prison?) Jules asked Terrence can sense the curiosity and worry to his cousin's voice. He didn't want to disclose things to him but if he wanted to get this done thoroughly then maybe it wouldn't hurt to be honest with him after all he knows Jules is one of the persons he could fully trust.

"The case involved my wife. 6 years ago he filed charges against the man who he said drug him when he was in a bar. He took him to a hotel after that and do the deed. My wife filed a case against him but it was dismissed because of a video used as a proof that what happened was consensual. It was what was written in the report. The second one Happened 5 years ago. This one was a.s.sault and **** but also was dismissed. No concrete evidence to prove charges against the suspect. As a matter of fact they were able to reverse what happened saying he planned it to blackmail him to extort money from the man. There a lot more." Terrence can't go through to the details, he doesn't want to go through the details over a telephone call.

(How did you got your hands to such information? Won't that get you into trouble?) Jules asked.

"I'm a lawyer getting my hands to such things is easy for me and don't worry about me getting into trouble. I always have my ways around things, I can play dirty if I wanted to I just choose not to but I guess this time I really have to in order for me to get what I want."

(You wanted to take revenge on those people.) Jules said in a statement rather than a question.

"Yes, soooo bad." Terrence simply answered, deep inside his head he is already swearing that he will get the justice that he wants with his own ways.

(And you plan in doing it in a dirty way? Why not taking it legally you are a lawyer I'm sure you will be able to win these two cases. It only been 6-5 years it means you can still appeal to the courts verdict for those charges. You can still have them sentence....)

"And what? traumatized my wife again? I know that already. I thought this through and weights all the consequences. If we appeal to it the case will be opened again. My wife will need to attend all the trials and have to be questioned and relieved everything that happened to him and that guy. And not all that, the fact he is married to me means he will get the eyes of all sort of media flat form out there. It's ok with me, it's fine really I'm not ashamed my name will bring fears to those f.u.c.kers but my wife he can't handle it." Terrence rub his face with his one hand to control his emotions.

"Did you know everytime people look at him weirdly and people tried to speak ill to him he feels down and sorry for being such a lowlife. He tends to blame himself for possibly bringing shame to my family just because of his dirty pasts. I don't want him to ever feel guilty about it but I also can't let what Happened in the past slide. I'm not entirely that good of a person to let bygones be bygones and to easily let them go without getting punished."

(Enough I get it already. What kind of punishment are you going to do? Are you going to kill them?) Jules asked.

"No. We all know that I can't do that without the higher ups permission and besides it has been years since I left the agency forced. That would be a crime and I don't want to commit one." Terrence explained.

(You signed as a free lance contract you know that it means you can offer your service whenever you want also the higher ups left the door open for your position just in case you decided to return.)

"I just need informations then I'll take care of the rest. Don't worry I won't do something illegal, I'll just play dirty."

(OK then. Be careful take good care of your wife, your too much affection towards him will take you back to the world you have left if you don't take care of him. Send me the details tomorrow. Night cousin.)

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

Everyone in the house was busy that morning not just the house but the whole apartment building. A lot of people came to install security system around the building and also inside their house. There are at least five men on the lookout far from what Terrence promised that only one will look after him. Terrence argued that will the installation is not done yet there shout be at least five people looking after them he even said that if he is not being considerate of him he will add more but since his Husband knows full well of what he wanted he just decided that five is enough and since his mother insisted to stay at their home till the installations and construction of some parts of the building is done Terrence already agreed to the five body guards.

"It's already been 3 days since this started, usually it will only take hours for the installation to finish but this one is already been 3 days. Don't you think you're exaggerating with this security system you are trying to install?" Nicolas asked. The two are standing outside the building. Terrence is busy talking to the people doing the installation.

Terrence turned around to find Nicolas standing behind him. "No this is just enough, can't compromise my family's safety." Nicolas can't helped but smirked.

"Cheesy b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who would have thought that the Terrence Harris who always plays around will fall head over heals in the palm of an Omega." Nicolas teasingly said.

"Must be destiny? You'll wake up one day then destiny will play little tricks in your life that can completely change it." Nicolas looked at him with a funny expression of a person who could not believe what he just heard.

"Destiny? Really? Coming from you?-------- You just got married and now you are talking about destiny? What happened to the Terrence who cringe every single time whenever he heard something as cheesy as that?" Nicolas was being overly dramatic but he is happy that this playful man finally found the right place to settle his heart.

"Well he changed. I don't believe in destiny before cause for me we are the one who has the control over our lives but since meeting him things changes. It made me somehow think my meeting to him is already predetermined by our destiny." Terrence said then he started walking towards in one of the seating walls just in front of the apartment. Nicolas walk after him and seated beside him.

"How did the two of you met by the way. You are a rich spoiled brat Alpha there is no way that you two met under a normal circ.u.mstances." Nicolas asked. Terrence looked at him with a goofy smile on his face as he reminisce their first meeting.

"I was walking past an alley in the street where my car broke down. I went to look for any cab in the area but on my wondering I smelled a sweet scent. The sweetest scent I ever smelled before." Nicolas chuckled.

"So you followed where the scent is coming from is that it?" He continued for him and Terrence just smiled as an answer.

"Does Omega's scent varies?" Nicolas asked, he is an Omega himself so he doesn't know the difference or how an Alpha think and affects their scent.

"They varies a little but with Chester his are way too different than the others. It's like it's luring you to come to him and make him yours." Terrence explained, trying to put into words what and how his wife smelled that time.

"It sounds like a cheesy plot cut straight from a cliche' chick flick movie." Nicolas commented that made Terrence laugh.

"Yeah it does." Terrence answered.

"So what happened next?" Nicolas asked.

"I found him crunching because of his heat. At first I was just planning in helping him so I took him to the nearest motel in that place but when we got inside the room he asked me to help him ease the pain. I shouldn't have but I lost my will and give in. In the end we did it and in the process I bit him."

"You f.u.c.king bit him in your first night?!" Nicolas couldn't believe on the story of how the two of them met.

"Yeah. On our first night, I was so guilty back then so I offered him money and help but he refused all that saying he can handle himself. I underestimated him and let him go thinking he'll be coming back to get the money from me after all he is just an Omega so what can he possibly do. I waited for days but no one came to find me."

"d.a.m.n Chester is such a bad a.s.s. I didn't know you got turned down by him." Nicolas can't help but admire the Omega.

"Such a rare find right? He just simply turned me down and run away from me and never showed himself again to my face." Terrence can still remember the days when he go complaining to Lance about the unknown, nameless Omega he just had a one night stand with.

"Then what happened next?" Terrence face frown as he looked at him.

"Why are even interested in me and my wife's story anyways?" Terrence asked.

"I'm curious of course. I wouldn't asked you if I'm not like duh!"

"Two years pa.s.sed I thought I won't be seeing him again but a party which I don't want to attend cross our paths together. I'm not proud of what I did back then but given a chance I'll do it all again."

"Why what did you do?" Nicolas asked.

"I forced him to go into a heat by releasing my Pheromones directly to him. A body of an Omega that belongs to an alpha that hadn't been touched for a long time can easily be triggered in going into heat if his alpha stimulate it."

"No you didn't?" Nicolas gasp in shocked.

"I did Nick I forced him. I don't know what's gotten into me. Maybe the frustrations from years the I have been looking for him made me lost it but I don't regret doing it again if I have to just to make him mine. That time I was still in denial, after what we did I told him my name, status, wealth and the power that comes with my name but the next morning he is nowhere to be found. Chester run away again."

"Hhmmm an Omega who doesn't want to have anything to an egoistic and proud alpha like you. That's great, at least he thought you a lesson well. I wish I was there to see you so miserable that time."

Terrence glared at him. "My misery really is what keeps you entertained ey?"

That was just a joke. "3 months later I found him working with Liam. All this time he's just somewhere near."

"Woe wait you two met 3 times by chance? Have you ever heard a saying that goes as ' The first time is a chance, the second time is a coincidence but the third time is destiny.' d.a.m.n Terrence you two should make your story into a movie."

"Anyways that's how he and me started. A lot of things happened and if given a chance I'll do it all over again." Terrence phone rung that cause for their conversation to get cut off.

"What do you want now?" Terrence irritatedly asked. The man has been bugging him these past few days about what or what not to do.

(You see my college Department is planning in having a reunion like get together and they invited me.) Lee said on the other line.

"What does it has anything to do with you calling me again?" Terrence was really getting annoyed by each pa.s.sing minutes.

( Should I go or not?) Lee asked.

"Why should I make the decision for you? You are old enough to make a decision for yourself."

(My exes will be there and when I say exes it means all the people I slept with, ex friends with benefits, ex s.e.x buddy and all. Dexter will be furious I wanted to bring him there to introduce him to my senior back in college days but I also fear that my exes will make a move on me that might trigger my lover.) Lee explained that made Lee laugh. Never in his wildest imagination to see that his man wh.o.r.e friend would be having a dilemma solving such simple problem.

"You got whipped real hard buddy. Let this expert give you an advice. You can first asked your lover about that and see what his answer will be. Don't go make a decision for the two of you all by yourself that can create a fight between you two and misunderstanding. Explain to him who are the people who will be there. If he agrees then take him with you and if he didn't then asked for a permission if you can go there by yourself. If he agrees to let you go to the party then don't go breaking his trust, make sure to constantly call him even when you are there to keep him secure that you are not doing anything that is malicious." Terrence advice. "Next time call and bother Lance I'm not the only person who is married amongst us." Terrence ended the call.

The two are still not yet done talking when Nicolas noticed Terrence mother together with Theo so he called out to them. "Auntie, Theo!"

The two walk towards them. "Mom are you going somewhere?" Terrence eyed the two.

"Ah yes, you see I asked Theo to accompany me. I need to go somewhere and he agrees." His mother tried to make an excuse.

"You know that he needs to lie low right? Why don't Nicolas accompany you instead?" Terrence suggested.

"No thanks, I have different plans for Nicolas just let your mother treat one of your favourite Best friend ok? I'll be very very careful I promise." Terrence sighed in defeat.

"Ok just come back before dinner time my wife will be cooking." Terrence said as he gave them permission.

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

Dexter and Lee have been in good terms ever since that night. Slowly Lee is learning little by little about relationships all thanks to his married friends that he usually bugs all the time so he could get tips on how to woe his beloved Dexy honey.

Dexter carried with him a box of strawberry cake and a bouquet of flowers.

"What's with the flowers and cake?" Dexter asked. "Have you done something wrong?"

Dexter's question made the other Alpha pout. "Just because I brought you flowers and cake doesn't mean that I've done something wrong." Lee defended.

"Don't sulk I was just joking." Dexter took the flowers and cake and open the door widely to let Lee in. Dexter took the box of cake in the kitchen and placed it on the island counter. After that he went outside of the kitchen to take the long transparent vase with half water inside. He took the tulips flowers out from the cover and carefully arrange it to the vase that he brought with him.

"Maybe you wanted to ask me something that's why you brought with you flowers and cake." Dexter asked while he's still busy arranging the flowers with a subtle smile on his face that made him more beautiful to Lee's eyes.

"Beautiful." Lee whispered out of nowhere that made Dexter stopped from what he was doing.

"What?" Dexter asked.

"I said that the flowers are beautiful, yeah." Lee lied he just can't believe that because he's too mesmerized he just blurted out what's on his mind.

"I think I heard you say differently." Dexter tease that made Lee blush.

"Anyways my seniors from college invited me to attend to our college reunion." Lee asked and he can see the smile on Dexter's face suddenly vanished.

"Ow really so what did you say?" Dexter asked he placed the vase on the island counter and get two plates for the two of them. He opened the box of cake that Lee brought for him.

"I still haven't answered yet. I want to hear your answer first. Since it is a reunion there will be a lot of people will attend which means also my exes. Though I never really have lover's the exes that I mean are....."

"Yeah I get it no need to explain to me." Dexter cut him off still continuing from what he was doing while listening to Lee.

"I don't want you to worry, so I want you to come with me. I want to introduce you to them that's if only you wanted to." Lee's statement made Dexter stopped from slicing the cake then he slowly lifted his gaze to look at Lee.

"Are you inviting me?" The only thing that Dexter was able to say.

"Yes but if you don't want to that's ok I just won't go to that reunion. We can just watch movie and cuddle while doing so..."

"I'll go, I'll come with you." Lee can see the smile plastered on Dexter's face as he said he will go with him.

"Are you sure? Won't you feel awkward with the...."

"No I won't besides you said that you are mine so what could go wrong. I also want to know more about you that's why I agreed."

Lee just suddenly hug him out of happiness.

"Thank you Dexy honey."

"I heard from Liam that you have been frequently calling Lance. Should I feel threatened?" Dexter raised his brow as he questioned his boyfriend.

Lee suddenly pulled out from the hug showing him a disgust on his face. "Don't say something that could make me throw up Dexy! Out of all people that you should be jealous at why it should be Lance! Really? Choose someone who's cute and s.e.xy."

Lee's last statement made Dexter frowned. "What do you mean cute and s.e.xy?" That question caught Lee of guard. "I'm no cute and definitely not s.e.xy as s.e.xy that you are pertaining to. I'm manly and masculine, so what do you mean by that?"

Lee swallowed a few times before answering his lover. One wrong answer and he knows that he is finished. "Dexy it's true I like cute and s.e.xy people but you are the only exception. You are cute in your own way. The boys find my taste weird after I introduced you to them but they won't understand how cute you are to me. Yes you are s.e.xy in a very masculine way, I think you are even more fit than me but I find every inch of your body irresistibly s.e.xy and stunning can't help but get captivate each time."

Dexter cleared his throat this man really knows his way to him. He feels hot in the face after hearing Lee's answered to his question. "Then why are you bothering the married couple? What's with the frequent phone calls?"

"Ow that. You Know that I know nothing about how to run a relationship. I often call to asked them what should or shouldn't be done. I don't want us to end up like the last time. My parents still hadn't get over teasing me because of what happened. Though they are out of the country they call me every day without missed just to tease me. What a parent." Lee complained.

"Don't go bothering your friends about our relationship. I'm not saying that you shouldn't confide and ask for an advice from them but calling them almost every single time is not healthy. We won't be able to get our own privacy if you are making our relationship an open book for everyone to read. If you have something in mind talk to me, I'll keep an open mind about it." Lee nod in agreement to his lover.

"I love you." Lee said out of nowhere.

Dexter went near and place a small peck to his lover's nose. "And I love you too."

Dexter knows that there are still many things that they should learn together. Their relationship is still like a baby plant that needs a lot of caring and love so that it could grow strong that can stand up on it's own no matter how many obstacles it could face.

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

"Auntie don't you think Terrence didn't notice?" Theo asked.

"No I don't think so. He knows this how I usually are so I don't think he already had an idea on what is happening."

"Auntie thank you for all the help that you been giving to me. I don't even know how I can repay you for all your goodness to me." Theo said, he doesn't know how to thank the woman enough. Because of her he wanted to fight to live at least when things didn't work he won't have any regrets.

"Just get better and well, that's all I'm asking for. I wanted you to live longer." Theo nodded his head.

The drive was silent after that till they arrived at the hospital. Theo immidiately went to see his doctor to do his check ups and treatments that would control and slowdown the progress of his illness till they find a donor. "Are you really sure about this? Yes I'm sure I don't want other people to know if something where to happen even if they say they are my family or close friends I don't want my condition to be disclose to them. It's enough that auntie is with me. That's my first wish."

"Very well. Mrs. Harris do you have anything you want to say?" The Doctor asked.

"No. This much is the only thing I could asked for him is exchange for him to get himself treated." Elizabeth agreed.

"How about the DNR, don't you want to change your mind about that?" The Doctor asked him again.

"No. I had live my time if it's time to go I want it to be done naturally." Theo smiled.

Elizabeth doesn't agree with Theo's decision but there's a limit on how far she could convince the Omega. She was lucky enough to convince the Omega to get the treatments and possibly to accept the transplant if they are lucky enough to find a donor who will match him. She knows that they are like asking for the impossible but even so she's still want to try her best to save his life.

After the session Theo excused himself to the restroom. Terrence family has been a great help to him the atmosphere around him is also helping in improving his condition. Somehow he shows positive results in the short while he's living with them. Although he still misses his Husband he just choose to burry his feelings deep down. He still sometimes haunted by the questions that he can't answer. What's his life's purpose, does he still have enough reason to live and what is the better thing for him to do. He some times think that maybe it would also be best to run away from them all cause he knows how slim his chance to recorver and to survive it's condition is. His death will only going to give the people who truly care for him a hard time but Terrence Mom is still right, he no longer knows what to do. All this thoughts run to his mind as he sat on the toilet bowl doing nothing but calming himself down as he let the tears that he has been holding back since earlier trailed down his flawless tanned skin. He heard someone came in but didn't mind it that much but he knows that he shouldn't be staying there for too long so Theo wipe his tears and fixed himself up and told himself. "You have to smile don't make them worry too much about you. That's the only thing you can do for them." He went out of the rest rooms cubicle like nothing happened, like everything is fine and like he is not carrying a heavy burden in his heart. But Theo's movemernt was stopped by what's in front of him his smiling face was replaced with shock and surprised by seeing the face of the man he has been missing for so long. The mere sight of the man is enough to send his heart and mind racing, droplets of cold sweat to form on his forehead and make his body trembling out of too much nervousness.

"How have you been my wife?"
