The meeting finally ended. One by one, the men left the room, quietly discussing business matters as they walked out. Their voices faded down the hallway until soon only a few guards remained stationed outside the heavy double doors.

Aiden stretched his arms slightly, trying to ease the stiffness in his shoulders. Sitting still for that long while feeling like every pair of eyes in the room was judging him had been more tiring than he expected.

“That was exhausting,” he muttered.

    “…Yes,” Aiden finally said quietly.The room was dim, lit only by the soft lamp near the bed. Outside, the mansion was completely silent, as if the whole world had gone to sleep except for the two of them. Alexander stood beside the bed, watching him with those deep blue eyes that always seemed to see too much.Aiden stared at the glass of water in his hands, fingers tracing the smooth surface. He rarely talked about his past. Even in his old house, no one had cared enough to ask. But for some reason, the quiet in this room felt different. Safer. Like the words wouldn’t be used against him later.“She used to protect me,” Aiden said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “Whenever my stepmother yelled at me or tried to hit me, my mom would stand in front of me. She’d take it instead.”Alexander leaned against the wall, listening without interrupting. His presence was steady, grounding.“But she got sick when I was little,” Aiden continued, his throat tightening. “Really sick. And a

    Alexander watched Aiden carefully. The younger man still stood in the hallway, looking slightly guilty after being caught listening outside the door.“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” Aiden said quickly, words tumbling out in a rush. “I was just walking around and then I heard voices and....”“You stayed,” Alexander finished calmly.Aiden sighed, shoulders slumping. “…Yes.”For a moment, Alexander said nothing, his deep blue eyes studying him in that intense way that always made Aiden feel exposed. Then he stepped aside and gestured toward the room.“Come in.”Aiden blinked, surprised. “You’re not… angry?”“If I were angry,” Alexander replied calmly, “this conversation would be very different.”That didn’t sound comforting at all. Still, Aiden stepped into the room, heart beating a little too fast. A few of Alexander’s men were still there, but the moment they saw Aiden, they quietly gathered their things and left without a word. Within seconds, the room was empty again except for the two

    The meeting finally ended. One by one, the men left the room, quietly discussing business matters as they walked out. Their voices faded down the hallway until soon only a few guards remained stationed outside the heavy double doors.Aiden stretched his arms slightly, trying to ease the stiffness in his shoulders. Sitting still for that long while feeling like every pair of eyes in the room was judging him had been more tiring than he expected.“That was exhausting,” he muttered.Alexander looked up from the documents he was organizing on the table. “You didn’t do anything.”“I sat there while a room full of mafia men judged me,” Aiden replied, rubbing his temples. “That counts as emotional work.”Alexander almost smiled. Almost. The faint twitch at the corner of his mouth was becoming more familiar to Aiden now. It was the closest thing the Ice King seemed to offer when it came to amusement.Aiden turned and began walking toward the door. “I’m going back to the room.”Before he could

  • Beauty And The Beast   13_A Like You Don't Cross

    The room stayed uncomfortably quiet after Alexander introduced Aiden. Some of the men nodded with careful respect, while others simply watched him with unreadable expressions. Aiden could practically feel their thoughts circling in the air."That’s the boss’s husband?" "He doesn’t look dangerous."He looks… normal."Aiden shifted slightly beside Alexander, trying hard not to look as uncomfortable as he felt. At eighteen, standing in a room full of hardened criminals who probably had more blood on their hands than he could imagine made his stomach twist. He kept his chin up anyway, refusing to shrink back like he had done his whole life in his own family’s house.Then one of the men leaned back in his chair and let out a low laugh. It wasn’t a friendly sound.“Well,” the man said, crossing his arms over his broad chest, “I didn’t expect our boss to marry someone like him.”The room went tense immediately. The temperature seemed to drop several degrees. Aiden frowned slightly, irritat

  • Beauty And The Beast   12_The Costello Family

    Morning came earlier than Aiden wanted. Soft sunlight slipped through the tall windows of the bedroom, casting warm patterns across the large bed. For a brief, disoriented moment, Aiden forgot where he was. Then reality settled in like a weight on his chest.He was in Alexander King Costello’s room. Married to him.A low voice broke the silence.“Are you going to keep staring at the ceiling all morning?”Aiden turned his head. Alexander was already awake, sitting at the edge of the bed while adjusting the cuffs of his black shirt. His jet-black hair was slightly messy from sleep, a few strands falling across his forehead, but he still looked annoyingly composed and put-together.Aiden groaned and pulled the blanket over his face. “This is still weird.”Alexander raised an eyebrow, his deep blue eyes calm. “What is?”“The fact that I woke up in the same room as a mafia king I barely know.”Alexander stood up smoothly, buttoning his shirt with practiced efficiency. “You married me.”“I

  • Beauty And The Beast   11_One Room

    The Costello mansion was massive. Aiden tried not to stare too obviously as he followed Alexander up the grand staircase. The polished marble floors gleamed under soft lighting, tall windows overlooked the perfectly manicured gardens, and elegant chandeliers hung from high ceilings. Everything about the place felt more like a palace than a home. He had never been anywhere like this before. His family’s house had been big, but this… this was on another level entirely.Alexander walked ahead calmly, clearly used to the luxury that surrounded him. His mother followed a few steps behind them with a small, knowing smile on her face.“You two must be exhausted,” she said gently. “It has been a very long day.”“That’s an understatement,” Aiden muttered under his breath.Alexander heard him but didn’t comment, though the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. They reached the second floor, and Alexander stopped in front of a large wooden door at the end of the hallway. He pushed it open witho
