THE WEDDING WAS JUST A WORD After crashing late at night, at Wilson's place, Brandon let his wife come upstairs first to have a rest and offer Wilson a wine as apology, which was accepted by the young Alpha. Sachin also retired even though he wanted to latch like a leech unto Wilson, he just let the two have some time for themselves. The wine was served elegantly swirling down the glass, and when it explore Wilson's tongue melting through his throat making an outline within his chest, he suddenly forget who he was and what's his purpose. It blended so good within his core that he took three more sip before putting down the champagne glass with discontentment written on his down the table. He wanted to chug every last drop of the wine, he can even chew the bottle to leave no remnants, but that would be madness, he's still sober to give in. Satisfied with the reaction, Brandon talked straight without hesitation, testing the man he met for the first time in face, though he always saw him from afar, and heard his name from time to time. "So what's between you and my son? And what's with this wedding I'm not aware of yet?" Wilson acted like taken aback, its out of the plan but he knew what the old man infront of him was meaning to say. The wedding was just a word without weight anyway. "Yes, me and Sachin are seeing each other quite often and found that we are compatible, and decided to get married, but also getting your blessing is what matters" The silence was not killing but Wilson would rather want to be door closed in his room than play the good Alpha in-law. Still he must show, he is true to his intention to get what's needed and be gone. It should've been done for a long time, if not for Ryo wanting to give it as a present after their wedding, which he never wanted, yes he didn't plan to get married to Ryo either. He just wanted to get inside his pants but Ryo was way too old fashioned, always telling, it should be done after the wedding, unkindly that thing he wanted so bad was given to a random Alpha. And to hear it was some prostitute, that's the biggest insult. His fist bawled at the thought of Ryo lying naked being pounded by another man when it should've been him, he's so delusional after all what he said and done to Ryo. And since honey talked works easily to Sachin after knowing the connection in between he changed tactics, its just that, he needed to get his hands on the recipe of the wine first before any wedding could happen. But how, is the question, now that the latter's house was dug up like crazy, and they're just a parasite to him at the moment, should he asked about it blatantly or play for courtesy? "Hmmm" Brandon swirl the wine inside the glass and took a sip before facing Wilson again. There was something off, but he can't picture it out at the moment. It's not that he goes against the happiness of his son and he will not do that. He won't let the same thing that happen to him, happens to Sachin, but to Ryo? he don't care about him. Ryo was born without his consent. "But what is this thing about you and Ryota?" It was the first time after so many years that Brandon spoke Ryo's full name that was shortened to Ryo to put the famous name in shadow, forgotten by many. Still few in the elite society will remember and grasped the existence of the name without ceased. Brandon knows that the two grow up together almost like a siblings and was already engaged with the wedding waving in a few days. "Sir--- "Call me father since, it's Sachin's happiness we're talking" Wilson's face almost twisted silently saying "disgusting words" for the high and low treatment he receive towards two Omega from one father, hidden in a smile. If he remembers it correctly he was not allowed to call him father even though he was engage to Ryo for all his life compared to Sachin whom he only met for a few fuck. "Cough" He fake a cough to hide the sarcasm that's building within. "About me and Ryota?" The name was nostalgic after he said the complete name, it was never used for a long time after such success in the past. How he misses the fame connected to that name, if only were his family was not too greedy to covet what's not theirs. "I know the wedding is just a days ahead, but I can't bring myself to get married to him anymore, after he sleep with someone else, and to top it all, that Alpha was a prostitute" Wilson was showing a perfect facade of feeling betrayed, though Brandon was still reading him hunting the discontentment. "I'm out of whatever happens to you and Ryota, what's important to me now is Sachin, as you can see, he is my son to the only Omega I love, so answer me honestly, are you really in love with Sachin? Or your into something else?" The sweat behind Wilson's back can be wring and filled a bucket, having that eyes staring at him like a hawk reading his soul, he can't let go of the opportunity. Instead he smiled like winning a diamond in a rough. "Yes, and please give us your blessing" Brandon get the answer he wants but not the unsettling feeling, he was the first to cut the eye contact and have another sip of the wine. "Our family may be rivals in wine industry but also centuries old friends, please take good care of my son" The weights were lifted after given the blessing that will only be wasted, with meeting the end. Wilson breath in satisfaction, because it will be easier for him to manipulate Sachin, still marriage is a no. "Thank you so much, father, your approval means a lot to me" Wilson was about to get another sip, as a celebration, but both of their phones blare. And seeing it was Ryo's post of having a good time, makes them insecure. They just ignored it fast with a toast and continue sipping their wine. "He still has the courage to flaunts, after he betrayed me" Wilson said and threw a glance towards Brandon who just shrugged his shoulder and put the wine glass back on the table, unlike him who continue to scroll and was greeted by the worst. He stood up in aghast and the reaction made Brandon curious so he opened his phone back. "This is insane" Brandon said after reading the caption, and the comments section was running like crazy from different accounts, who probably be the people present at the Reesidex lobby. Immediately they contacted the news outlet to stop the video from spreading like a wildfire. But their call was not answered, the video can't be turn down anymore, leaving the two slumping back on their chair. Until they hear footsteps coming down, it was Dino wearing PJ's, looking a little disoriented. It was Brandon who open a conversation, before meeting the hazy eyes of his second wife. "Have you open your phone Honey?" Dino shake his head, innocently and added. "It's charging upstairs" "How about Sachin?" "He's already sleeping, why?" As if he doesn't know what's happening on twitter. "Nothing, just don't open any of your social media account, and stay at home no going out, until I get us a new house" It made Dino frustrated inside but can't show it, he showed a confused smile towards Wilson who's staring at them and asked his husband. "Why, what's wrong?" "You need not to know, its not important, focus on your health and tell Sachin the same, don't go out, until I get a house for us three" Though Dino already knows and wanted to refute, he agreed without lengthening the conversation and gone to the kitchen as his alibi to get water as he say's he's thirsty. He wanted to lament and whine but, he was cut off before he could open his mouth, and worse he can't show how petty he was since, Wilson is around. On the other hand Wilson excuse himself and retire to his room, telling Brandon that he will do anything he can, to stop social media from spreading the short video and if they can buy it. Sachin was back to the room given by Wilson and the maid was paid three times of her salary to keep quiet and got a new phone too. He also hears that they're not allowed to go out, that also pisses him off, its like they're grounded. Probably grounded. And because of that, he hated Ryo so much, that he wanted to strangle him alive.¹⁷I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHINGOverthinking can make anyone weak, so he stops those unanswered questions. Iko goes out of the bathroom and wipes the few drops of water, he kisses Iko on the forehead and helps him dry his hair, and they lie next to each other.The sound of the clock was audible; Iro turned to the side and turned back again until he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling as if taking in his whole existence."You can't sleep either, brother?""I can't," Iro said, still staring blankly at the ceiling.Iko lay on his back and said."Are you thinking of Mother?""Yeah," Iro sighs again, not because it was a burden but because he can't wait to get away from this place and never come back.The silence was not long, and Iko sat up, fiddling with his hands."Before going to school, I stop by the kitchen and change the syringe into water."He stopped and continued.
²³VAMPIRES OF THE LONG-PROMISED DEATH"Do you have your phone with you now, Honey?"Dini shook his head innocently and added."It's charging upstairs.""How about Sachin?""He's already sleeping. Why?"As if he doesn't know what's happening on Twitter."Nothing, just don't open any of your social media accounts, and don't go out until I get us a new house."It made Dini frustrated inside, but he couldn't show it; he showed a confused smile towards Carlson, who was also staring at them, and asked his husband."Why, what's wrong?""You need not know; it's nothing important. What I'm doing is for the best. Don't go out; do what I say."Though Dini already knew and wanted to refute, he agreed without lengthening the conversation and went to the kitchen as his alibi to get water.

¹⁶IT IS HARMFUL FOR OUR LITTLE PEAEnigma, unlike any other Alpha, can impregnate all six genders, including male Betas and even their own kind.They can also hide their second gender and live like normal Betas or become Omegas if they want. Because they have the freedom to choose their own gender.Enigmas are very few; out of a million people, there are only two to three that can be born. They're not degraded like how Omegas live in hiding, but they are highly needed.And since they're highly needed, a lab was created illegally to mass-produce Enigma, with a plan to auction every successful experiment, and soon the world will be filled with Enigma.Especially for high society, who have a male beta as an heir, pairing with an Enigma will surely continue the bloodline.The only difference between artificially made Enigmas was that they're only capable of impregnating all genders, and their lives are shortened to twenty y
¹⁵AN ENIGMA CREATED ARTIFICIALLYIro was tired of talking anyway, and when they thought the day was over, they were wrong.Nigel, who had just chosen a good candidate to be an unnoticed bodyguard, stopped when the phone rang more than twice.Nobody answered it until it stopped ringing but vibrated, signaling a text had just been received, and that's when Nigel picked it up and read the content.Making Iro's bored face darkened."Damn this eventful day," Iro said, brushing his hair harshly and wearing a black wig to cover his long silver hair. "So? I guess you made a decision?"Nigel asked, waiting for more instructions."Turn the car, of course, I need to go home. I might as well see what my grandfather had prepared for me."The driver did not need to be told twice and made a perfect U-turn with ease."Should we wait for you?"Nigel asked."No, just go back, and I'l

1325 YEARS PASS"How are you doing there?"The morning rays are shining like endless hope, but for Iro, it's only reminding him to keep living, like how Ryo wishes."I'm leaving the Philippines for good and staying in England until my last breath, I hope you're doing ok, see you again my love."A tear fell from his eyes while kissing the tomb of his deceased Omega.He was unwilling to leave but how can he face life, without Ryo?And wherever he goes it only reminds him of his unfulfilled love."Uwahhhhh."Iro wiped his face with the back of his hands stood up almost hugging the ground, and carried the baby out from the stroller."Iyo, say bye to mommy."He holds the small hand gesturing goodbye and waves it twice while his tears can't be stopped from falling onto the grave.Timid footsteps approach the two, one crying loudly and the other silently."Brother let's go, mother is waiting inside the car.""Hmm" sniff sniff sniff.As the car left without turning back, one pair of red eyes
