The destined encounter

It was already night time when Nicolas woke up. He sit up and looked at the unfamiliar place he is in. "The floor is moving he said." He got out of the bed and looked outside, his heart start palpitating when he realized that he's inside the boat. He went out of the room which luckily was unlocked. He run and run trying to find anything he can use so he can get out of that yath but he didn't find anything. Nicolas let his body fall to sit on the floor. Tears starts to form to his eyes. This is not the place he wanted to be, he doesn't even know where this place is. "Zai, I can't stay here Zai will worry." Nicolas wipe his tears away, he climb off the railings and jump into the sea. He starts swimming towards the direction where there are lights. He doesn't care how long all he knows is that he needs to get there. He needs to go back home, back to his son his only home. That's the only motivation that he has till his right leg start cramping. He tried to stay afloat but the pain makes him unable to do so. He tried to scream for help but the waters is pulling him down, drowning him till his whole face was swallowed whole by the water. Nicolas can see the bubbles his mouth and nose produce. His lungs begs for any amount of air but his mouth and nose can't find even a single air to breathe. Nicolas eyes becomes blurry and heavy that he can no longer keep it open for longer time. The next thing he knew is that he's back in the boat with wet clothes, soar throat, and chest that's heavy and in pain. He keeps on throwing water and coughing at the same time.

"I'm glad you that I'm just right on time when I saw you." Nicolas looked at the man who just spoke and saw Zeejay.

Nicolas out of pure anger hit Zeejay a countless of times. "Where did you take me? how can you do this to me? WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT?!" Nicolas shouted the last part and cry.

He bury his face to his knees. "I can't understand you."

"Nick I just want a chance for us. I just want you to give me a chance. Two weeks Nick just give me two weeks to convince you if that won't still change your mind then I'll give up. Just two weeks." Nicolas raised his head.

"Do you really think that can change my mind? I have waited more than half of my life for you to love me and now that I have given up do you really think you can make me change my mind in that fucking two weeks?!" Nicolas hit him again.

"Just two weeks." Zeejay caught both of his hands. "I won't bother you again."

Nicolas calmed down. "Ok two weeks. After two weeks you will take me back. I will file charges against you for kidnapping me. You won't bail out and will spend your time in jail. But most of all you won't show your face around me again." Nicolas got up.

"Is that really how much you hated me?" Zeejay was just looking at the floor.

"I don't hate, I loathe you. Phone, give me your phone." Zeejay got up and went somewhere. He hand him his phone and saw the old photo which he himself took using his camera it was the only photo they had together cause the Alpha doesn't want others to know. He didn't know that the photo still exist. It looks like Zeejay took a shot on their photo back when the two were just teenagers. Zeejay used to hate that photo which he gave him. He disregard it. "What's the password?" Nicolas asked.

"Your birthday." Zeejay simply answered.

"You make me sick." Nicolas just said. He dialed the only number that he memorize like the back of his hands.

"Hello sweetie it's me Mom. No don't worry I'm alright, yeah nothing bad happened. Yeah don't worry. Sweetie you see Mom have a favor to ask, will it be ok if Mom will be gone for two weeks? No it's just that Mom just want to be alone for a while. No of course not Zai, you are a good boy and you always makes me proud. Mom has been having this dillema and you know why right? So I thought that maybe traveling for two weeks can help me clear my mind so I can finally go on. Will you permit Mom? No of course not I'm not lying, No don't track this. Son listen to me this is an impulse decision. I need this for my self so I can finally have a closure that I always wanted." Nicolas wipe his tears, that part where he said he wanted a closure that's why he decided to do that is true. "I have always been in pain cause I know in my heart that I just left things hanging, that it really I didn't really end it..." Nicolas went silent then he looks at him.

"Yes I'm sorry. Really will you let me? Ok I promise I will call you always. Yeah you are free to do so. I love you sweetie." Then the smile on Nicolas face disappear. He tap something on his phone then he throw it back to him. Zeejay looked at his phone and saw that the photo is gone now.

"You erased it?" Zeejay asked following him.

"Yeah I don't like my face as the screenshot of some pervert who would kidnap a person just because he rejected him." Zeejay went inside the room.

"Get out I'll change." He slammed the door the moment Zeejay went out. When Nicolas got out again. He's asking him again for something." Duck tape? Or any kind of tape?"

"What for?" Zeejay asked.

"Do you want me to stay here for two weeks or not?" Nicolas asked him.

"I said I'll go get the tapes." Zeejay came back with him two boxes of tapes. Nicolas begin unpacking the tapes and start putting tapes on the floor and equipments inside the boat's common are.

"What are these Nick?" Zeejay look at those lines created by the tapes that Nicolas had drawn.

"This will indicate which will be our sides." The left side will be yours and the right side will be mine. You are not allowed to cross that line or else that deal is off and I will asked Zai to report where this. boat is."

"Zai what does that kid knows?" Zeejay asked.

"Don't underestimate Zai. The only reason why you are not in prison as we speak is because of me. We will do this your own way and after that two weeks I won't expect to see your face anymore." Nicolas walk pass by him.

Nicolas can't sleep so he got up and sit on the floor just watching the waves of the sea crushing to the side of the boat. He ever wonder what was his reason again for rejecting Zeejay over and over again. If he just gives in then his heart can finally have what it wants for a long time but trusting Zeejay is hard, the man prove to him repeatedly that his love for him won't stand a chance. He bends his knees up and rested his chin on his knees while his two arms wraps his legs.

"Can't sleep?" Nicolas looked at Zeejay then the line which he made.

"Yeah." Nicolas simply answered.

"You want? I made this for you." Zeejay offered him a mug of hot chocolate. "Don't worry not even my fingers will cross the line." Zeejay place the mug on the floor and gently pushed it towards his side of the line.

Nicolas looked at it and later on decided to take it. He blows the hot chocolate. "I made it with love, my love taste like that."

Nicolas glares at him before taking a sip which made him cough. "Yeah you're definitely right it taste just the same as the kind of love you can offer - BITTER!" Nicolas blurted out he pushed the mug back to Zeejay.

Zeajay sadly took it and have a sip for itself. "Yeah you're right it's bitter..... but I can make this better till you can come to like it." Then Zeejay looked at him and smile. I still have 13 days to improve this. Zeejay got up and fake a yawn, "Nick I need to go to sleep now." Nicolas can feel the sadness to Zeejay's voice he even heard his voice cracked but what about him he has been hurt too.

Zeejay went to the kitchen. He has been trying to think positively that everything will be just fine. He's been trying to cheer himself up thinking that Nick will be his again but the more he tried to think positively the more the fact that the Omega has been trying to show him that he no longer stand the chance. He looked at his hands that got burnt trying to make him a hot chocolate but even that was a failure attempt. It has been piling up to his heart and what Nicolas said finally crack the mask he has been putting out for a show. He was afraid that the Omega will see it so he went in first. Zeejay looked at the ceiling trying to stopped his tears from falling.

"Yeah serves you right, he must have felt the same way as you are feeling now when you are rejecting him. Maybe much worst that this." Zeejay looked down wiping his tears. "Yeah right this is nothing compared to what he has been through. It's just the first day we still have 13 more." Zeejay said trying to motivate himself. Neither did he know that Nicolas followed him.

********************************

Two days passed since that night and Chester woke up like nothing happened or was he just trying to pretend that it never happened. Those are the thoughts running to his mind while he drives them back to the house. He also became aloof trying to avoid his as much as he can. To the point that he doesn't want their skin to even touch each other. He came back to that old Chester which he first saw after 5 years. They came back to being a strangers once again.

Terrence take a peek inside his son's room where his wife also sleeps, when He's sure the they are all asleep he went back to his room and open his phone.

(Hello?)

"Jules it's me. Any news?"

(Yeah about that. It turns out five years ago Chester wind up in a small town in the country side. Ah Doctor by the name Hugh adopted him and send him to school. I have sent you the details. It will be much better if you hear it from her directly.)

"Thank you Jules."

(And one more thing, try to calm yourself no matter what it is that you will hear don't let your emotion get the best of you.) Jules warning only made Terrence agitated that he decided to drive himself that night.

The address took him to an old small house in the middle of the woods. He knock on the door, when no one answered he knock again a little louder. Terrence knows that he might be disturbing someone but he wants to know the truth. He wants to know what happened to Chester and just who is this woman. After with so many loud attempts finally someone opened the door for him.

Terrence can see the shocked written on the woman's aged face but when she regained her composure she opened the door wider and told him. "Come in." Terrence excuse himself and let himself come inside.

"I want answers." Terrence said Directly to the point

The woman blows a heavy breath before telling him to sit down first. Terrence sit down and waited for her. The woman came back with a hot tea on her right hand and different folders on her left hand. She offered him the tea and gave him the folders.

"Everything you are asking for is in those folders." Dr. Hugh answered to the questioning look that he has.

Terrence put down the folders after reading them. "How? Who would do something like this to him?" Terrence wanted to punch himself for all the accusations. It's enough proof that Chester did not left them for some other man, he was clearly violated and beaten. That explains all the nightmares, a marked Omega getting violated against his will is like getting skinned alive. Their body can't accept any other Alpha than their mate. Their brain will send signals to their body rejecting anyone who is not the marker of the body. Terrence can only imagine the pain it brought Chester and the physical pain.

"Why didn't you call us?" Terrence glared at the woman.

"You are busy getting yourself laid. It's not my problem that I thought you already abandoned your vegetable wife." Dr. Hugh said like she doesn't care if her statement will make the man even angrier.

"Don't worry he's ok now."

"How can he be ok? Those nightmares keep on haunting him!" Terrence shout.

"The nightmares are normal, his mind keeps on repressing those memories and more he's trying to repress them the more they will pop up but if you can try to replace it with good ones then they will eventually be forgotten naturally. I'm not saying that will happen instantly. These kind of things happens in a long period of time. We can't force them to forget. It's a step by step process. He needs to forget it naturally."

Terrence went home with a heavy heart he doesn't know what to do that can ease the pain and hatred he's feeling inside.

******************************

"Mr. Lance Montero!" Mr. Sy the head of the household greeted him with a wide smile on his face. "Mr. Sy."

"I thought my son was just joking when he said that you will pay us a visit and have dinner with us."

"I never joke about my appointments specially if it's this important. Besides I have been wanting to meet your family."

Harold Sy lead Lance to the dinning area where all sorts of expensive and exquisite dishes are being serve on the table. "Mr. Monstero."

"You can just call me Lance." Lance suggested that made the man laughed ecstatically.

"Lance this is my beautiful wife Olivia Sy, My beautiful Daughter Monica Sy, Her boyfriend Charles Wright and of course my Son who I'm very proud of Troy Sy."

"I see you have a very lovely family."

"Yeah I raised this family through sweat and blood" The man proudly said. Lance just listen to them all talking about their family, gaining their full trust. Once the dinner was done the family transfer to their mini bar where the men sits at the bar stools while the ladies sit on the couch enjoying their ladies drinks which are being serve by Charles, the man that Lance has been keeping his eyes on. He excused himself for a while to got to the restroom but in reality he wants to look and stroll around the house. He took a peak inside the rooms he passes by till he saw Monica.

"Lance what are you doing here all alone? I thought you said that you are looking for the bathroom?"

"I got lost, while trying to find it." Lance excused.

"Ow that's normal this house is pretty big but I'm sure that yours is much bigger." Monica said in a flirtatious way. Lance already got the signal that the woman is trying to seduce him.

"Can you show me which way?" Lance just asked trying to change the subject.

"Sure, follow me."

When Lance was done, he was expecting to see the girl gone but to his surprised Monica waited for him till he came out of the restroom.

"I decided to just wait for you since I thought that you might get lost again." Monica said tackling her hair behind her right ear. After seeing how the woman act infront of him Lance suddenly got an idea.

"You know what Monica why don't you give me a tour inside your house. I mean I would rather spend my evening with a lovely lady as you than with those men at the bar. So what do you say?"

Monica's face light up after Lance made that offer that she instantly agreed with. She toured Lance all over the house which earns Lance a chance to see the every inch of the house, every rooms that house have and most of all it gave him a chance to plant a bugging device in ever part of the house. A necessary move to carry out his plan and that is to find Liam as soon as possible. Once Lance is done he thanked the Sy's for their hospitality and bid his goodbyes.

**************************

Nicolas woken up by the sunlight on his window. He tried to sleep again but his stomach won't let him he looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 12 Noon so he got up and went to the kitchen only to see what he can stuff his hungry stomach with but the scene before him almost made his mouth drop on the floor.

"Fuck Lee you said that this was just easy?! The fucking fish is fighting back you hear me fighting back?!" Zeejay is wearing a sando loose shirt, partner with a black cargo shorts but the funny thing is that the man is wearing a pink apron while he holds a fish turner to his right hand and a casserole cover to his left hand. He is in the posture of someone who is fighting with sword but in this case he fights against the fish and the hot oil.

(Zee it's not that really hard, the thing is you just don't know how to cook but you beg me to tell you what are his favorites so I told you and yet here you are cursing at me just because you are too pussy to even face the fish and the oil. It's just turning the fish how hard can it be?"

"Fuck the oil is hot Lee! I got burnt so many times because of that oil." Nicolas tried to hold back his laugh and came to the rescue of the man.

"Here let me." Nicolas without stepping in to the other line took the fish turner and without effort had turned the fish to the other side. "Your fish got burnt. Charcoal burn." Nicolas laughed that got Zeejay sad.

"Sorry I'll just do it all over again." Zeejay apologize, he was about to turn the stove off when Nicolas stop him.

"Why are you turning that off?" Nicolas asked.

"Because you said that it got burnt. I cooked it for you." Nicolas smile disappear.

"I'll eat it. You don't like fish but since you made it for me it's only fair that I eat it in return you will eat what you cooked too." Nicolas said.

"And you Lee I didn't know that you are an accomplice to this kind of crime. Did Zee told you what the two of us agreed upon last night?" Nicolas asked.

(Nope I was not an accomplice you see he just called me to asked what kind of foods that you like.)

"Prepare yourself to spend your days behind cell right after your wedding day. I won't even let you have your honeymoon with Dexter and I'm pretty sure Dexter himself who will send you to jail."

(Fuck Zee this is not what we agreed for convince him, convince HIM ZEE!.....) Zeejay turned his phone off.

"You don't really need to include him to this matter. I was the one who beg him. He kept telling me to fix my life for you. He kept on asking me if I really do love you, making sure that I'm not just playing it this time." Zeejay explained.

"a crime is a crime even if he is my friend but to set me up with you even though he knows what I've been through is below the belt."

"He was just trying to help me. I'll take full responsibility." Nicolas looked at him.

"I wasn't bluffing when I told you that I'll file charges once we get back that alone can ruin your reputation."

"There's nothing more to ruin Nick. The time that I will let you go for real will also be the time that everything about me will be nothing." Zeejay turned off the stove.

"I think the fish is done now." Zeejay prepared everything and when everything is set the two start eating.

"It's still bitter." Nicolas commented.

"I'll practice, I can still make this better." Zeejay said, Nicolas can here desperation to his voice like he was not pertaining about the fish but it was like he was talking about their relationship with each other that he desperately trying to fix.

"Zee you don't really need to work so hard just to make it better. Sometimes all you need to do is to accept that it is not for you, that it is not your gift." Nicolas said as an answer to Zeejay's statement.

"Since I was young I always get everything so easily. I don't really need to work hard to get it for me. Even acting it comes like a second skin to me that I don't need to exert any effort just to get the emotions of the characters I'm playing at. But ever since I acknowledge my feelings towards you I learned the meaning to the words — hard work. I wan to work hard till the end even if I'm not sure how things will end." Nicolas could not say anything. He can see now how much effort and hard work that Zeejay has been putting in all of these. He take a glance at his hands and arms that have burnt patches that are already turning red. Nicolas grab it to look at it closely. "Fuck!" Nicolas got up and went somewhere when he came back he has with him ice packs and ointment for burns.

"You shouldn't let this burns be are they will become bloated and will pop out which will create scars. You can't have your skin have scars. Zeejay didn't say anything he just let Nicolas care for him. He realizes now how much fool he was. If he only realize it much sooner he would have always have this kind of care from the start but he was a jerk. A stupid jerk for not realizing it too soon.

********************************

Charles just came out of the hotel building. He just had a wild hot steamy sex with an Alpha woman who he happen to have just met in the bar.

He just entered his car when someone suddenly spray something on his face that made him fall asleep. When he woke up he was inside the car with two men on his side. He took the chance that the man didn't know that he is already awake and punch the man on his right side and kick the man on his left side. He grabbed the car door and tried to open it but the man pulled him in before giving him punches to his face till he pass out again.

Charles woke up with the unfamiliar scent of iron, the voices of the men talking are echoing around the room which indicates that they must be in an old abandoned warehouse. He tried to open his eyes but sees nothing. He tried to breath in and out to calm himself down but nothing works.

Darkness surrounds him. He can't see anything the only thing he can hear are the voices of man talking. He can still feel the sting from the side of his lips where the man punched him. His hands hurts from being tied for too long to that chair where they placed him. He doesn't know who these people are. He knows he had wronged a lot of people so he doesn't know which one of them did this to him. His mouth is gag so he really can't shout for help. He tried to calm himself down cause he knows his girlfriend Monica will come looking for him. Specially now that the Sy's are already growing power after Lance Montero offered them investment. Monica surely will find him

He was brought back to reality when he heard the men looking after him suddenly gave respect to someone who just arrived. "Is this him?" Said the familiar man.

"That's him Sir. We gave him a good beating cause the man is fighting back. We do apologize for that Sir." One of the man said.

"No that's ok, it doesn't matter to me. Can you please leave the two of us alone?" Said the familiar voice.

"Yes of course Sir." He heard footsteps that are getting distant till he heard the closing of the door.

"I never thought that I will be doing this kind of thing again. You see I don't usually do this kind of things.I only do this when someone owes me something." He can hear the man tells him that. The pheromones inside the room is getting thicker and suffocating. Then he felt the man leaned to him.

"In this case you owe me a great deal. I'm here to collect the payment for that." The man pulled what's covering his face. He immidiately looked at the person who abducted him. His eyes almost pop open and his body begun to tremble. He doesn't know why the man is here or to what he owes him. The only thing he's sure is that he is not that stupid enough to even try to pick a fight with the person as powerful as him. He realizes that even Monica or the Sy's can save him from this man.

"What? Can't talk?" The man pulled that gag out from his mouth.

"I never done something wrong for you to do this. I think this must have been a misunderstanding."

"Your name is Charles and you are Monica's boyfriend. I met you on that dinner just last night didn't I?"

"Yes but I never wronged you in anyway. I swear!" Tears are now streaming down his face.

"Ow you never wronged me that's true." Charles was able to breath calmly now that he was sure that he didn't wrong the man in anyway.

"But you did try to violate my wife which caused your girlfriend to pour an acid to his beautiful face." Charles went silent, he knows the only person that Monica ever poured an acid with.

"That can't be, you....."

"He's my wife." Lance walk around him.

"The person you have wronged is not me but my wife. I hear from a reliable source that you tried to have your way to get to my wife's pants." Lance leaned over him placing both of his hands to the chairs arm chairs where his hands are both tied to.

"I am a very possessive man Charles. What's mine is mine and no one is allowed to have what's mine but because of people like you and his family I lost my precious wife." Lance straight up.

"Don't worry Charles I won't hold this against you if you promise to tell me everything that I want to know."

"I will tell you, I swear I will tell you just promise not to kill me." Lance smirked of course I promise not to kill you. I have a very simple question for you Charles and I want you to answer it with all your honesty but if you lie to me I don't think I can honor my promise to you." Lance said threatening the man.

" I will tell you I won't lie to you. I promise, just please don't kill me."

"Ok then, don't worry my question will be very simple. Where is Liam?"

"Liam?" Charles repeated.

"Yes my wife."

"I don't know sir I swear. After Monica poured him that acid they didn't ever let me in that room ever again. Weeks after that I never heard anything about him again. The last thing that I know is that they are keeping him somewhere and that the only person who knows about it are the Sy's and Bea."

Lance sighed. "I thought you could be of any use to me but it appears that talking to you is just a waste of time." Lance said.

"Sir you promise not to kill me right? Sir you promise! I'm sorry I'm begging you if I had known that he's your wife then I wouldn't have taken a move on him. Ow I know where your son is. Your wife was taken in that place pregnant. It wasn't a normal delivery cause he bled a lot so they pulled out the baby via cesarean section but that doesn't matter I know where your son is."

"I already know where my son is but it seems you have some little use after all." Lance gave him a sinister smile. He walks to his golf bag which he specifically bought for that matter after he was done reading Charles background report. Lance took one of the golf clubs and specially choose the irons.

He swing the clubs like he was aiming to hit an invisible ball at the ground. "I haven't had practice for a long time now. I heard that you like to play golf. Why don't you practice with me?" Lance can see the horror on the man's face.

"Sir, please I'm begging you."

"Ow come on its just a little game ow what do you always tell those Omegas who you just played their hearts with. Right! it's just a game honey it's not like you are going to lose anything. So Charles why don't we play this one time game thing and see if you have anything to lose." Lance said before hitting the man's knees with the golf club. 30 minutes pass and Charles is already beyond recognizable.

"Please don't kill me." Charles beg while crying.

"Oh no I won't kill you I did promise you that didn't I? but there's one thing I wanted to do before letting you go. Doctor!" A doctor came inside after Lance shouted. "I want you to castrate this man. Cut off his penis and feed it to the dogs."

"No, no, no, don't please don't! I'll do anything just don't cut it off please." Charles begs.

" Charles tsk tsk tsk. You played the hearts of more than 20 Omegas, take advantage of their wants to be love and now you are telling me not to cut it off. I think that will not be fair to those Omegas who had suffered because of your useless dick. Doctor cut it off!"

"No, don't, don't, don't, please don't cut it off. I'll do anything, I'll do anything."

"You'll do anything? Am I hearing that right?"

"I'll do anything. Please don't cut it off."

"I won't cut if off. Don't ever lay your hands to any Omegas if you can't take them seriously then don't ever try to play with them or you will answer to me, if you do I will cut it off myself without any second thought. Second I want you to be my spy within that house. You will tell me everything and will report to me anything. If you betray me I will make sure that your cold body will make friends with the fishes under the sea. Do you understand it?" Charles nodded while crying.

"Take this man out of my sight. Throw him in the rice field or something I don't care." Lance said before leaving the man.
