The Last Beat Prologue
Maze'sThe delicious smell of my favorite mac and cheese tingled my nose when I entered the kitchen. My eyes automatically looked for my husband and there I saw him preparing our dinner table. Aside from mac and cheese, I can see that he also made my favorite steak and other delicious foods for our 11th year anniversary. And I can't help but smile as I crossed my arms against my chest while leaning at the doorframe and just watched my wonderful wife do all the work. Life with Gabriel was, is and I am sure will always be beyond wonderful. We have our ups and downs as a couple but that didn't make me love him less. In fact, I loved him even more as years passed by and he showed me how wonderful it is to have someone like him in my life. I honestly think that I'm the luckiest man on earth as I'm able to get myself a very good-looking and the best husband I could ever wish for and also a wonderful son that makes life brighter for the both of us. It's also exactly two years ago when

Gabriel's "How's Maze?" Crimson asked on the other line as I talked to him while preparing something for Maze to eat. I looked at Maze who's sitting quietly at the dining table. I can feel his perturbation to where I'm standing right now and it's obvious that he's been restless for the past few weeks after receiving that call. I know that he can hear me talking to his best friend but he's too drawn to his own thoughts to even care. He's been like this since last month. I'm afraid that his agitation might go out of hand. And it can't be any good especially to our son, Nathaniel. He's used to seeing us happy and easy going but now, the household was overshadowed by deep perturbation brought by that goddamn call from Maze's estranged father.We all thought that it's over. We haven't talked about him for 11 years now and he didn't bother us during those times so we really thought that he had already let go of the thought of having Maze as his heir. But now, he's back. And he has th

Gabriel'sMaze and I looked at each other after we heard the doorbell ringing. The only guests that we're expecting today were Michael and Mysty who had obviously arrived a long while ago and I can't help but to feel nervous just by thinking who the person outside could be."Gab." I was quite stunned when I heard Maze speak for the first time today and my heart can't help but to flutter because the first word that came from his mouth today was my name. I know that it's such a cliché but you can't blame me.Some things never really changed all throughout the years. And that's Maze's effect on me and the same goes to my effect on him."What is it, Maze?" I asked him as I internally castigated myself for being able to think of such mushy things in the middle of this freaking situation."Will you please open the gate for me?" My mouth went agape when Maze said those words and I can't help but frown as well. 'What the hell is he talking about?'Was he expecting other guests aside from
The Last Beat Chapter 3
Maze'sI heard Gab's conversation with Crimson over the phone. I heard it loud and clear. I just pretended that I'm in deep thought while eavesdropping because I'm worried that Crimson might spill something that Gabriel doesn't need to know, yet. That's why I kept a keen ear to their conversation while pretending that I'm not hearing anything at all. That's why I know that my subordinates will come knocking at my door one of these days. I just didn't think that it would be this early. That's why I've tried to brief Gabriel on what to do if ever it's the other way around. Gab had enough of my father's wicked scheme and I am not letting him hurt the love of my life again. Not when I've already vowed to protect him and our son until I drew my last breath.And I couldn't help but to let out a sigh of relief when I saw Heather and Royce's face first. But something's weird with Gabriel's reaction while still looking outside. He looked like he'd seen a ghost as his body turned visibly r

Maze's Gabriel immediately went to our kitchen to cook some food for lunch and I totally forgot the food he made for me a while ago. Royce decided to help Gabriel while Heather went upstairs to play with the kids and also to greet Michael. But I know that aside from the reason they said to excuse themselves, their main purpose is to actually leave me and my subordinates to have a private talk. And I couldn't be more thankful to them as they both know what I want and need. And that is to talk things over to the guys who're well enough to analyze this dreadful situation of mine. "We heard what happened from Sir Crimson." Jake was the one to talk first and I sighed before looking at the three of them and nodded afterwards. "Before anything else, I would like all of you to just call me by my first name because Gab's not actually fond of formalities." I said, still trying to sound superior like before when in fact, I slowly transitioned into a brave ass guy to a husband that's scar
The Last Beat Chapter 5
Gabriel's"As much as I want you to know everything about Mew's past, I'm afraid I am not in any place to answer your questions, Gabriel. It's much better to ask Maze. After all, you're a team. He may have a hard time telling you but I know for sure that he doesn't want to keep it from you if you really want to know. I know you trust my friend more than anyone under this roof, Gab. And I'm sure that he doesn't want to break it and you just need to sit down and talk things over once and for all."I know for a fact that Royce's actually trying to soothe me with his words but instead of calming down, I don't know but I feel more anxious and scared at the same time. Royce sounded like he's telling me that there's still a lot of things that I don't know about my husband. That there's something more about his past that he kept from me for 11 years. And I can't help but to ask myself. Wasn't I able to probe deeper?Did Maze never really let me in after all these years?Such questions over
The Last Beat Special Chapter: In Case
Maze'sI tried to come up with words to answer Gab's question but just like I thought, I can't speak. My husband's crying in front of me, wondering about his worth because of all the secrets I've kept from him and I feel guilty just by seeing tears rolling down his cheeks. So instead of letting out a single word that might put me and my secret at stake, I rushed towards him but then just when I was about to hold him, he looked at me indifferently and that made me stop in my tracks. Tears are still streaming down his cheeks, nonstop. He looked as if he's been betrayed and it made my heart ache to no end. "G-gab--" I tried calling his name but the lump in my throat won't let me speak another word other than his name cause I am too nervous. I've hurt him, which is the last thing I would want to do in this world. "Who are those three guys, Maze? And why didn't you tell me a single thing about them for over 11 years that we're together? And what kind of help will they be lending us?"
