Maze's"Maze, what happened?" Jake and the other two stood up from their seats the moment I reached their table at the coffee shop where we agreed to meet the 'babysitter' I wanted to hire."Uh, what's wrong? You look like you just went through Armageddon." First and his honest mouth striked again and Heine gave him a warning look but he just shrugged.I sighed before looking at the waiter who's passing by and told her to get me some cold drink.We all sat down and they waited for me to tell what happened before I got here and so I sighed again before leaning my back against the chair. "Gabriel is against the idea, of course." and as if on cue, they all sighed as well. "You look as though we didn't expect that kind of reaction from him. C'mon, Man. We just guessed it right, you should be prepared at the very least." Here goes First again. And Jake poked him in his side to shut him up but I ignored him. He's actually right. We had expected Gab's violent reaction about this 'babysitt
Gabriel's "Dad, is there something wrong?" Nathan asked as we all strolled through the aisle of snacks here at the supermarket.I looked at him and he's looking at me intently then I heard Crim clear his throat and saw him giving me a knowing look. And I can't help but sigh before kneeling in front of him and looking at his face. Nathan is a smart kid. He's also observant. That's why it's not surprising that he sensed my bad mood. Especially when he saw that I didn't give Maze a kiss before we left which is really unusual. The goodbye kiss is a thing for our son. It's like an unspoken rule.But since I'm too pissed off of my husband's decision to get a babysitter even though we promised to each other long ago that we won't, I can't even look at him let alone think of him right now without frowning. It was then I felt Nathan's hand massaging the gap between my brows to remove my frown and I'm back to reality. I heard Crimson chuckled as he looked at my son before messing with his h
Gabriel's"Crimson, we're adding more for 4 persons." I told Crimson after I hung up the call with Mew."Noted, Maze's Wifey." I ignored his remark and peeked at the living room where Nathan is playing with his One Piece action figures and I smiled upon seeing how careful he is as he arranges the toys above the centre table.He sure knows how to take care of such collector's items.It was then the doorbell rang and I frowned.I didn't think that Maze would be that fast to arrive home. Today's quite a busy day so I supposed they'll be a bit stuck in the traffic. But then I shrugged off and looked at Crimson who's still busy cooking. Well, he volunteered to cook the steak so I let him. So I dared not to bother him anymore and just went straight outside to open the gate. Not realizing that it would be the most stupid and wrongest thing I did today. I stood frozen as I saw a tall guy wearing black clothes in front of me. And he's certainly not my husband. Nor Jake, First or Heine. Ca
Crimson's"His vitals are now stable. The bullet was removed safely, and luckily, it didn't hit any vital organs or else it could've been fatal." I told Maze whilst putting back my things inside my bag. Becka, whom I just found out to be a registered nurse and not really a babysitter but a personal bodyguard in disguise helped me with the sanitation of the equipment we used to remove the bullet from Gabriel's left abdomen. His body was in a state of shock which is one of the factors why he lost consciousness. Maze didn't answer and just stared at Gab's sleeping figure. We chose to just treat Gabriel's wound at home since I am a doctor and we also have a nurse in the house. That's more than enough to help him. And besides, we know for a fact that the hospital is not safe either. I looked at Maze intently and guilt, anger and pain was written all over his face. I've already asked Heather and Royce to look for more men to help us secure the house, not only Maze's family but our frien
Crimson'sThe next morning, news about a dead body that was found in front of The King's Empire building is everywhere.Nobody dared to talk about it while we're having our breakfast.Maze had invited the three guys to join us for breakfast. But since Gab is still unconscious, Maze said that we can eat without him whilst Becka took care of Nathan who's still a bit scared until now.Well, what can we expect? He just heard gunshots for the first time and his dad was shot and lost consciousness in front of him. That's quite a hard pill to swallow for a young boy like him.But I must admit that Maze made the right decision to hire Becka cause she's able to easily coax Nathan and they get along with each other quite well. And I can see that Becka is really good at what she does. Otherwise, she wouldn't be an in-demand bodyguard based on what Heine said. Though, I'm still skeptical because she's more like a model or a child of a politician. I was about to drink my coffee when my phone star
Gabriel'sMaze and I stared at each other for a solid minute. I'm sure he's still trying to find an answer to my question that would be less hurtful.But that's ridiculous.His dad wants me dead just so he can have him and our son.If that's not painful enough then I don't know anymore. Maybe I'm being dramatic and paranoid cause I feel like everything Maze had told me today were all lies.I'm not dumb. I know it when someone is lying to me and everything that a liar does when they are lying, I've seen it from Maze a while ago. But why would he lie to me? I looked at him intently, waiting for his answer. And yet, I didn't hear a thing. And his silence is enough for me to know his answer. And so, I let go of his hand and nodded slowly as I clenched my jaw. "Gab-""No, it's fine." I beckoned him to stop moving closer and he just stared at me worriedly. "I'm fine. I just need time to be alone." I said and I could feel him staring at me. Funny. How he obviously wanted to go a while
Maze's"Hey, Bro. Are you okay?" Mark asked as we all sat down at the dining room. I looked at everyone and they were all looking at me, too."Heck, no. I know that Gabriel is already suspecting me and I am absolutely not fine with the fact that he got hurt because of my hell sent father." I said while massaging my temple and all they could do was sigh.They are obviously having a hard time dealing with this shit."You know what, I just don't understand why would your father go to a certain extent to try to kill Gabriel just to take you and Nathan?" Top said and even gestured with his hand.Crimson and I gave each other a knowing look and he shook his head."Mr. King has this obsession of making Maze his heir, probably because he's his only family and he wanted him to be the successor of all his properties and businesses ." First said and I looked at him.He's kinda right.But he did miss something, though.He forgot to say that most of those businesses and properties are illegal.The
Special Chapter: Monster Mazon King"Just make sure that you've dispatched the body properly." I said as I took a hit from my tobacco and the guy bowed his head before leaving. I looked at everyone gathered around my office and they were all just waiting for my command. One snap and they would go running to give me what I want. But not just yet. I just did the first strike. It would be too early for strike two. And besides, I already have a plan in mind. Since, it's almost that time of the year. When Maze lost his Mom. And I'm sure that no matter how complicated the situation is, he would go to his mother's grave. For the past years, I've always watched him from afar. I saw how he changed from being a fierce man to being a soft, vulnerable family man, by which I didn't train him to be. I saw how happy he is having Gabriel and their adopted son by his side together with his friends. But that's not what I wanted to see. Especially when I had to back down and give him an i
