Chapter 40: Crazy LoveEltan StormA year has gone by since Faith and I moved to New York—a year of us living together. To say it was an understatement; it was bliss."Where are you right now?" I asked over the phone. "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Mrs. Martin?""I was having dinner with Anna, but then, duty called, so I rushed over. I have to hang up now. I'm busy.""Which duty—" Before I could ask, she cut the call.I let out an annoyed sigh.It was ten at night. It could be either of the duties since she maintained two jobs—one as the manager of the second branch of Berserkers, and the seco
Chapter 39: Best For YouEltan Storm"C'mon, Faith, don't be stubborn," I huffed, grabbing a handful of clothes from the closet."No, I won't go," she declared, dumping out the clothes I just put inside the luggage."We need to go. We won't get a second appointment if we miss the first one," I reasoned out."I still won't go. Why didn't you ask me beforehand if you are so concerned about missing the appointment?""Because I knew you would say no."We were currently back home in Vegas at Faith's apartment.After we returned from New York two weeks ago, Faith saw a psychologist here since she
Chapter 38: Two Sides Of A CoinEltan Storm"I'm so sorry for being careless, Big Bro. You can hit me if you want," I sincerely said, closing my eyes and waiting for Elian to hit me.But instead, I was wrapped in a tight hug. "Thank you for finding him," was what he said, contrary to what I expected of him."But it really was my fault—""It doesn't matter. You returned Xian back to us safely. You did your job well," he said, and I became quiet.I watched Xian who was hugging his mom and crying. It was obviously a little too much for such a young kid.Mutiny was standing in the corner, distancing herself from my family.
Chapter 37: Protect HimFaith MabelEltan was freaking out.It was the first time I was seeing him like this, and knowing I was partially responsible for it made things worse.If only I had told him that I was going to the pharmacy, he wouldn't have rushed to look for me while leaving Xian alone. And right now, we couldn't find him anywhere.Eltan already called his men to send out a search party. They were going through the CCTV footage around the park. Whoever took Xian even threw away the phone Eltan had given him."Shouldn't you let Alena and Elian know?" I asked hesitantly while Eltan was pacing around in front of the house.
Chapter 36: Family For A DayEltan Storm"Eltan, you have bags under your eyes. Did you have trouble sleeping last night?" Faith asked in concern."Yeah, something like that," I said.After Faith fell asleep beside me, I stayed up all night researching DID and how to date someone with it.It wasn't going to be easy; that much was obvious. But I was all in for a hard challenge.So far what I understood was, I had to be gentle for Faith like I have always been and rough for Mutiny because that was the only way to deal with her unpredictable actions.I needed to talk to Faith about it as well. I needed her permiss
Chapter 35: A Single SystemEltan Storm"Why did he call you Daddy?" Mutiny asked, still not believing and holding Xian hostage."Because I told him we were going to meet his daddy," Alena giggled. "Technically, I didn't lie, though. Because we are going to meet Elian after this.""Mommy, you didn't tell me we were meeting Eltan," Xian complained with a pout."That's what you call a surprise, baby!" Alena cooed. "Also, call him uncle," she added a little sternly."It's fine. I will feel old if he calls me uncle." I turned my gaze back to Mutiny who was still skeptical of the entire situation. I
