It was good to be back to the smell of paper, coffee and everyone complaining. I was back to work even though Reina was against my resumption but it was better here with my mind preoccupied with work than the empty house I was becoming afraid of sleeping in when the lights go off. It’s been three weeks since Ben left and two weeks since I last saw Azrael especially after a heavy revelation like that. It amazed me how I didn’t turn insane with all the bad new breaking out now. It was reality and I could do nothing but accept the outcomes. “Welcome back!!!” The whole team shouted the moment I opened the door. Sven handed me a bouquet of flowers and I smiled as I accepted it. It was pretty mixture of various flowers and I perceived it before I smiled. “Thank you very much everyone.” I replied as Jade came close with a welcome back cake. “You’ve had your first creepy fan case; you grow up so fast.” Jade said and I chuckled then blew out th

AzraelI was finally dismissed from the high table. I picked up my phone to call Leslie because the crowd was much for me to locate him when I didn’t see him outside.His phone rang but there was no response. I tried again but it wasn’t going through while I searched around for Leslie.“Have you seen Leslie? An omega, albino this tall wearing a navy-blue suit with a unique design at the corner left of his jacket?” I asked one of the security men who stood by the door.I raised an image of Leslie and displayed it before they shook their head.Does that mean he hasn’t gone home yet?“Did you mention an omega?” A passer-by asked. “Albino and tall with long hair?”“Yes.” I replied as the man nodded.“Yeah he left with some man I think is his partner. Very tall, rich handsome fella with a limited version of a Spurs and Brooke wristwatch

034 Leslie “Honey please open the door.” Ben pleaded as he knocked on the door, I locked myself in. “Don’t ever come to see me again Leslie. Don’t come to my house, don’t ask me out, don’t come to my office, don’t talk to me when we’re alone, our relationship from now on is strangers for your sake.” “If I ever see you again… I’ll take it that you want me too and I won’t stop if you beg me… So Goodbye Leslie.” Tears soaked the pillow as I placed my hand on my chest, feeling a tight knot choking my heart and making it difficult to breathe. It was completely selfish of me to be saying this and hurting Azrael’s feeling but I don’t want Azrael to stop being a part of my life. I don’t want us to be apart from each other even if our relationship was complicated. I hugged the pillow as I buried my face in it. I don’t remember how I got to that hotel room or everything that happened but I remember Az

036 I was proofreading a new author’s book under me so I could quickly focus on setting a proper date for Azrael’s first public debut as an author. He has never done since he became popular and fans were already pleading and demanding ticket release dates. Isaac placed a cup of tea beside me then carried his cup of coffee and sat beside me. “Good morning.” I greeted and picked up the cup. “Good morning. I would ask how was your night but the other person is my brother.” Isaac said as I blushed before he pointed at his neck. I covered the hickeys that were exposed before I grabbed my tea and sipped it. “It must be nice working from home.” Isaac said and pouted. “I remember telling you to take a job that didn’t require you to wear a suit. You could always open up your own consultation office.” I said as Isaac glared at me. “No. it’s more work being the owner than an employee.” “Okay counsellor Isaac.” I replied

038 I smiled the moment my feet stepped out of airport grounds to the city of Tokyo. We were actually to go to Kyoto but we decided to stop in Tokyo then take a train to Kyoto after spending a day or two here. “Wow.” I said as Ben smiled before he wrapped his hand around mine. “I’m honestly impressed.” Ben commented as we stared at all the citizens and tourists who would wake in and out of streets, corners and roads with fancy gadgets and AI simulations. Totally different from the US and it made fifteen hours of discomfort in a flying container of metal. “I’m so exhausted. Why don’t we take quick nap before heading out?” Ben asked as we approached a taxi. “We’re only spending a night here before we go to Kyoto; there are a lot of tourist sites I want to go to.” I whined as Ben chuckled. “Honey, we have five days to spend in Japan, we will make time for everything. I’m sure your internal clock is itching to rest then adjust.” Ben expl
