We believed the drink was meant for Lucas,” Dan said. Someone pointed the server at Lucas, but the person's face was not detected yet. The securities were still trying to track the guy. But one certain truth is that whoever did it wasn’t targeting you. He was targeting him.” For a moment, Alex couldn’t even breathe. His eyes instinctively turned toward Lucas, who was still standing near the counter, talking to the nurse without any idea what was going on. “And that’s not all,” Dan continued. Alex’s voice dropped dangerously low. “Say it.” “The person who pulled down your pants that night,” Dan paused. “It’s the same man who was talking to Lucas earlier.” Alex’s expression darkened instantly as “James.” escaped his lips. The name came out like a threat.Memories flashed through his mind. The betrayal, the blackmail, the ten million he had made away with years ago. Alex’s jaw clenched so hard it hurt. “So he came back to taunt me,” Alex muttered. “He came back fo

This time, it wasn’t light. The kiss started slowly, almost teasing, with soft brushes of lips, unhurried, as if he was savoring every second. But the longer it lingered, the deeper it grew. Lucas melted into it almost instantly. A quiet sound slipped from him as his hands moved from Alex’s chest to his shoulders, gripping lightly as the kiss intensified. Alex tilted his head, pressing closer, drawing Lucas in until there was barely any space left between them. Their breaths mingled. The kiss turned warmer, fuller, and more exploring. Alex’s thumb traced slowly along Lucas’s jaw as he deepened the kiss, unspoken emotions pouring through every movement. Need, affection, something almost consuming but still controlled, still tender. Lucas responded just as eagerly, his fingers tightening slightly as he leaned into Alex, matching him, meeting every slow, lingering motion with one of his own. Time seemed to blur. The quietness of the house seemed to increase the tempo. All

The house was quiet when Alex finished in the kitchen. He wiped his hands on a towel, glancing at the neatly arranged plates on the counter before turning off the lights and heading upstairs. “Lucas,” he called softly as he pushed the bedroom door open, but there was no response. Alex stepped inside the room and paused on seeing Lucas. He was already asleep. He curled up slightly on the bed, one arm tucked under the pillow. His breathing was slow and even. The faint light from the parted window curtains softened his features. It made him look peaceful and untouched by all the chaos of the day. Alex’s expression melted instantly. He walked over quietly and sat at the edge of the bed, careful not to disturb him. For a moment, he just watched him. Not just watching but admiring him, taking in every detail like he wanted to memorize it. A loose strand of hair had fallen across Lucas’s face. Alex reached out gently, brushing it aside with the back of his fingers, his touch f

That was far worse, and Alex felt it. Not just the confusion or anger but something colder and creeping. Alex knew whoever this was. He knew him, and from the sound of it, he had come for revenge. Alex forced himself to stay still.He lowered the phone slightly, just enough to put space between it and his mouth, and took a slow, controlled breath. His pulse was already racing, but he didn't want his voice to show his anxiety, especially to whomever this guy was. He brought the phone back up.“What exactly did I do to you, hmm?” Alex said, his tone measured, almost calm. “Or at least, tell me how you want me to compensate.” For a split second, there was silence. Then Mac chortled, clearly amused. “Wow, now you’re speaking my language.” Alex’s heart skipped. That reaction wasn't a relief. It was the anticipation of the unknown. He held his breath without realizing it. Every second stretching tight like a wire. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he clung to one hope…that

“I’m not letting you go either,” he replied, his voice low in Lucas's ear. Lucas smiled at that, leaning in just enough for their bodies to touch. “Good,” he whispered.They stayed like that for a moment…close, steady, and feeling safe. However, behind Alex’s eyes, something flickered, because even as Lucas spoke about not going anywhere…Mac’s voice echoed again. “Break up with Lucas.” Alex closed his eyes briefly, holding Lucas just a little tighter.As if he held on long enough, nothing could take him away. Then Lucas broke up the hug chuckling. “Why do you seem clingy, hmm?” Alex tried a smile, “Maybe it's because I love you too much.” “And I love you too much too.” He leaned in and kissed him lightly. Alex caressed his cheek and kissed him again but before it could escalate, Lucas pulled back. “Come on now, remember you have some unfinished work before we left earlier for dinner, so deal with it first.” He said, pecking his cheek. “After that, you ca
