Chapter 31

Silas’s povOn our way back from the trip we had gone to, I leaned back in my luxurious plush chair as I looked to my left to see Julian was asleep.I couldn’t believe that I would be building a family with him. It felt like such a dream. Like, a few weeks ago, I was looking for companionship. I was all alone. And now I’m here with him. Yes, we had met in the most unorthodox of ways, but it felt good to actually have somebody in your corner. To have someone you can actually talk to. To have someone you can feel things with.And Julian was that person. He gave me so much happiness and love to know that I had him to thank for this.All that period I had been on my own, only thinking of Emery. All that time wasted, blaming myself for something that happened in the past, when I could be living my life.In just a week of vacation… okay, maybe it wasn’t up to a week… but in these few days that we had spent in another country, it opened my eyes to a lot of things. I got to see different cult

Chapter 32

Silas’s pov“Alright, I love you. I’ll see you when I get home,” I said to Julian as he smiled and waved to me before getting into the house.I then turned to the driver. “Alright driver, take me to the office.”The driver nodded and swerved the car around as we started going to the office.It hit me that every single time I had looked at Julian, he was so much like Emery. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was something odd going on here. For a 22 year old, he looked hot, but he was like a younger version of Emery. It was almost like Emery had come back to life, but the only thing was there was no way Emery and Julian could be the same person.I wasn’t a big believer in transmigration or people coming back from the dead in their past body, but looking at Emery… his picture… and looking at Julian right now, it was hard to not see the resemblance.It didn’t take long before we got to the office. I took the elevator straight to my office, and the moment I got into it, I saw my as

Chapter 33

Silas’s povI stood in my office for a very long time. I had no idea what I was going to do or what would happen now. Was I going to confront Julian for his actions, or would I let it slide?I didn’t know what I was going to choose. I knew one thing, though… if I didn’t do something, nothing would change. My money would keep going missing, and I would keep protecting Julian even when I knew he was the culprit. All fingers pointed to him. There was no way I would have sent all that money out of my account.But if I met up with him and asked him why he was sending that money, it could turn into an argument, and I wasn’t ready for one. Still, I had to get to the bottom of this somehow.I looked at my phone and thought of calling him. But no… that would just make matters worse.Before I could put my phone away, it rang. I looked at it. Julian was calling.I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly before picking it up.“Hey, bae,” I said.“What’s with the bland tone? You don’t sound happy. Was t

Chapter 34

Silas’s pov“You’re wasting my time, Julian. Explain why you’re here. Explain yourself.”He raised his hands up in surrender.“Look, I can totally explain.”“And that’s what I’m looking for, Julian. Why are you in here? You’re not going through your things. I’d even appreciate if you go through my things to see who you’re married to. But my dead husband? That’s a new low for you.”“I was curious to know who this Emery guy is,” he said.I tilted my head a little to the left.“You’re fucking lying.”I reached to him and took out the socks in his hands. I tossed it onto the counter. I looked around the closet.“You could have gone through anything, but you went through Emery’s stuff. And you’re telling me that you were curious? Couldn’t you ask me?”He chuckled nervously.“I could, but if I did ask you, would you tell me?”I hesitated before giving him my answer.“No, I wouldn’t, but at least I’d appreciate that you asked.”“Silas…” he closed in on me, holding my hands in his. “I know th

Chapter 35

Silas’s povThat night, while I was watching a movie on the large flat screen in the living room, I heard a noise in the background. I turned around to look up the grand stairs but didn’t see anyone. I wondered who could be making all that ruckus.I muted the TV to have a clear listen of what was happening before hearing more sounds and getting to my feet, I was going to get to the bottom of this.I walked up the stairs and headed to my room as I heard someone whispering over the call. I leaned in closer and got a clearer sound of his voice on the phone.“I know. I just need to get this. It’s going to be done very soon,” I heard him say. “He doesn’t have to know. He doesn’t need to know. Just get this done soon and everything is going to work out the way we both expected it to.”Now, I was suspicious of Julian, what was he planning? Who was he talking to?I opened the door even wider and got in.“Babe?” I asked.He turned to me from the window, his eyes wide and the phone still in his

Chapter 36

Silas’s pov“Silas?” His voice came on the phone as I took in deep breaths.I knew I was going to regret this. He had told me over and over again about the mistake I was making, but I had refused to listen. I had refused to think that I was making a huge mistake.I took in deep breaths again.“I can hear you breathing over the phone,” he said as I chuckled.“Yes, Miles, I know.”“So what do you want, Silas? It’s late. Whatever we have to do, I think we should do it by morning. I just came back from a very heavy meeting and I have some investors that need extreme help in their company.”I stared at the ceiling for a while before going around my desk to sit into my seat. I took in deep breaths again.“Is there something heavy on your mind? Do you want to talk about it?”“Miles, I don’t know if it’s possible if we can meet tonight.”He chuckled. “What, you want to take me out on a date?”“Miles, it’s serious.”I could hear him groaning over the phone before he accepted.“Fine. Rosemary G

Chapter 37

Silas’s povThe next few days went by pretty quickly as I went about going to work, coming back to a loving Julian, and sometimes I would hear him while I was in the shower making calls to random people. During midnight, I would go through his phone to find out that the people he was calling were unknown numbers, and the messages that I would catch him sending to people had been deleted and there would be nowhere to be found in his phone. I could tell he was hiding something from me. It was making me crazy.Sometimes I would want to ask him, but it would hit me that this was going to end up into a big fight.Today we were going to the adoption center after we had been postponing it for a very long time due to my mental state, but now we were here. We were going through the list of baby pictures that was put before us.“Oh my god, babe, this one is so cute,” Julian said to me, but I didn’t listen to him as his voice was muffled in my head. I kept staring into space.“Silas? Silas,” h

Chapter 38

Silas’s povI got into the car with Julian as I turned to him.“Julian, can we talk?”He looked away with folded arms and clenched fists. He was really mad at me.“Babe,” I called to him but he didn’t still answer.He was really mad at me this time. I had really done it.“Please, let’s just talk.”He turned to me. At that moment, his face looked a bit like Emery’s own whenever he was mad, but I pushed that aside. ‘Stop bringing up Emery,’ I muttered to my brain as I faced him.“I don’t know what’s wrong with you, Silas. You are acting really strange. You don’t feel like the same man that had wonderful sex with me the first time. You don’t feel like the same person at all. You look different. You act different. You work different. It’s almost like you don’t want me around.”“Who said so? I do want you.”“Why don’t I feel like you actually want me? Why do I feel like you’re using me?”I shook my head. “I would never do that to you. Listen, we had a deal, you and I. I’ll help you with wh

Chapter 39

Silas’s pov“What the hell is this?” I asked Nathan, looking at the document in my hands, then looking up at him as he shrugged.“The thing he didn’t want found out.”I shook my head. “No. This is wrong. This is impossible. Julian would never kill Emery. Julian didn’t even know who Emery was. So why would you think Julian would have anything to do with Emery’s death? Emery died years ago. Julian must have been, what, a teenager?”I took a deep breath and looked away from him, watching a couple passing by an orchard. I then looked back at Nathan.“Is this… ugh… oh god… is this what your spies do? Frame people? Maybe this is why they have a hundred percent rate of success.”“Maybe instead of blaming my spies for something that didn’t happen, maybe you should put the blame on the real people that matter. For example, Julian. This is all him. Are you going to keep blaming yourself for Emery’s death? Are you going to keep beating yourself about it when this guy is responsible for it? He ha

Chapter 40

Julian’s pov“Don’t place the expensive glass there,” I said, pointing to the edge of the living room. “Place it on the other end, okay? I don’t want anything ruining this entire aesthetic.”The man nodded and went about doing so.“Mr. Julian,” the butler said to me.“Yes, Walter?” I said. “What do you need?”“Well, the flower guys want to know where you want the flowers to be kept.”I gave a nod. “Drop it by the edge.”He looked to where I was pointing then looked at me. “I don’t understand sir.”I sighed. “Look, I want the flowers seen but not to be the main attraction. I want people to have an idea where they are but not to know what it is.”“But sir, these are flowers.”“It’s like food, all right? Artificial food. Umm… you see we can see the food is artificial and we can’t eat it but it’s there for the aesthetics. Do you understand?”“Yes, sir.”“Good. Move ahead.”The butler walked away and soon showed up again and smiled at me. “Sir Silas would not be expecting this. It’s been
