THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING. Felix sat in his office with all the lights dim. He had a lit tobacco in his mouth. The scent of the tobacco filed the room just how he liked it. His phone rang, he removed the tobacco from his mouth with his index and middle finger then used his free hand to pick his phone from the stool beside him. The caller ID read "three". He answered the call. "We agree to the deal" the person on the other side said. "Perfect, kill him at sight or no fresh goods for you" Felix said and hung up. He returned to puffing his tobacco, placing his phone back on the stool. Beside his phone was an ashtray and picture of Xander coming out of the mall in a tailored suit. *** PRESENT TIME "Xander who are you?" Hermia asked. The chairman was taken back, he thought, they had figured out who he was. "I'm- if you don't know who I am. Your lose, try to keep up" Xander said and Hermia fumed. "What? You keeping it a secret? You are deluding that you a powerful

Xander and his assistant enters the elevator that brought them to the eighth floor. They walked down the hallway in search for room 805, the room reserved under Mike's name. Xander swiped the master key on the door and it clicked open. They stepped into the suite and were hit with a strong vanilla scent. The living room was nicely decorated, adding some features for newly wedded couples. The person they were in search for was absent so they went to the bedroom. Xander gestured for Hunter to stay at the door while he went in. He heard the shower running in the bathroom station g that one or both of them where in there. He walked further in, the vanilla scent was now mixed with musky scent that he suspected was from Mike's decorant. He took a slight turn and saw Hermia who sat in front of her dresser to remove the make up and tend to her bruises. Randy wasn't joking about her victory on Hermia's face. He watched her hiss and cussed when she mistakenly brush over the bruise. It wa

"What got the smile on your face? Care to share?" Trente teased Xander and sat in his seat on the dinning while his brother set the table.At the same time, Randy and Hunter entered the dinning. Randy carried the food and Hunter was fresh from showers and dressed in Trente's pants and Xander oversize hoodie which were his actual size. Trente was set for a lazy Saturday, sweatpants and shirt."Hunter, do you notice Xander look different and happy but he doesn't want to share why" Trente complained and Hunter looked at his boss.His face was absent of the frown and he three was a calm smile on his faces. He was also curious but he had an idea why. Then he turned to Randy who was also smiled and placed tree food on the table."Stop acting like it's a big deal, I'm just happy to finally put Hermia in her place and have my daughter back" Xander said and settled down on the seat. Randy smile depreciated. "Boring, I thought you got laid" Trente teased, wriggling his eye brows"That's nice,

"Xander! Run!" a figure called from the burning building. Xander couldn't see the figure clearly in the smoke. All he knew was the figure was talking to him from a burning building window."No! I'm not leaving without you" Xander shouted back"But, I'm sticked, I can't go with you""I'm still not leaving without..." At that moment, the building came down, knocking Xander down with its debris."Xander!"Xander's eyes shut open, he was sitting behind his desk in his large office with his forehead covered in sweat."Nightmare?" he turned to the direction of the voice. It was Hunter, he looked closer and saw that he held Hunter's wrist tightly. He released the wrist in an instant as if it was on fire."I'm sorry, I wanted to wake up but you were muttering some words, when I got closer you squeeze my hand, you have a strong grip" he explained and joked at the end sensing his discomfort."Oh, sorry" Xander apologized"No worries, it's time to leave for the auction"***The huge hall was dec

Hunter felt the bed he was laying on was softer than the one he had laid on in the recent years. He rolled on his side and dipped his nose further into the pillow. It smelt nice like his boss clothes.His eyes immediately shot open and he sat up. He looked around he really was in his boss house and in his room. He scratched his neck to recall what happened the previous day and how it end."Nonsense, I want to sleep" his last words to his boss echoed in his head and he groaned and pulled on his hair."This is why I don't drink" he muttered to himself."You are awake" he heard Xander say and slowly turned to the direction.Xander was slightly sitting on his study table in a bathrobe and white towel over his head."I'm sorry" Hunter said and quickly got of the bed."You should be stupid, did your mother not teach you not to take things from strangers" Xander said and Hunter shook his head, causing Xander to raise an eyebrow.He wanted to ask something but he was interrupted."Hot Choco i
