Chapter 50
The city lights blurred past the tinted windows, but Xander wasn’t looking. He sat rigid in the back seat, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles were white. The air in the car was thick—tense, charged with the kind of silence that weighed down on Hunter like a stone.“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” Hunter asked, keeping his eyes on the road.“My father,” Xander said flatly then his phone lit and he read the new message. "Change of plans, I sent you a location"At the same Hunters phone vibrated and he clicked on it and saw the GPS location."Who are we meeting there" he asked "Victor Dale" Hunter’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. “Victor? The ex–head of security?”Xander nodded once. “Fired two years ago. Quietly. No press, no drama. That’s not how my father handles things—unless he had something to hide.”Hunter let out a slow breath. “You think he’s behind the footage?”“I think he knows who is,” Xander replied. “Victor was the one who set up the old security

The door to the room Adam sat in clicked open. He didn't need to turn, he already knew who it was. He heard familiar quiet footsteps walk toward him and stopped beside him. Even in the darkness he could see his image clearly. His supposed blonde hair seemed darker due to the darkness. His slender body was covered in tight leather, exposing some certain areas like his arms and from his navel to his waist. "You still watching them" the slender guy said and rested his head on the head rest of the chair without much struggle. Partly because he was 5'4. "And I was about to send for you" Adam said and click on the video of Xander and Hunter. "Really" The younger man said, his voice went high by an octave and he tilted his head look at Adam's face. "And why were you going to ask for me" he slurred. "I wanted to send you out to play with them" Adam said and tilted his head towards the people on his screen. "Oh, that" the boy's voice came down an octave. "You really want me to play with t

Hunter woke up to the sound of sirens and muffled voices. It took him sometime to understand that it was a firefighter talking to him. "He is waking up" The person announced. Who is waking up? He thought. "What is the last thing you remember?" The person asked as he flash some kind of light into his eyes. "We were heading home before we got chase..." Hunter recalled. "Alexander!" He tried to seat up but was carefully pressed down before he became dizzy. "My partner is taking care of Mr. Cage..." The rest was all buzz until fell as sleep. The next time he woke up he was in a familiar space. The room he stayed in whenever he stayed over Xander's place. He grunted and rolled on his side in an attempt to leave the bed. That's when he felt the pinch on the back of his hand. E looked down to it. It was connected to an almost empty IV drip. He sat up slowly to avoid sudden dizziness. Luckily, he was alright. He pulled out the need from his hand skillfully as if he was used to doing so

Hermia picked up her phone and check for any new message but found none. She clicked it off and place it on the couch beside her. She was waiting for Adam's message. He had told her wait for the address of their meeting place to be sent to her. That's what she did. She made herself look more presentable than just a regular business meeting, just in case. She picked her phone again and saw no new message. Swiftly she checked the time. It has only been two minutes since the last checked her phone but it felt like she had waited 10 minutes. The knock came like a challenge, slow, deliberate, three times. At the same time, her phone dinged. The long waited message had arrived. I'm here. It read. She frowned down at the message then the vintage clock that had stayed three generations. A single knock sounded again, reminding her it's presence. She wasn't expecting anyone. Even she cleared all her meetings just to meet the person that had promised her the fall of her ex-husband.She we

The world stopped for a minute for Hermia as Adam stood before her new husband, Mike. She hadn't told him about Adam or that she had meeting with someone that evening. Adam looked at Mike from his gelled hair to his shining brown dress shoe and smirked. This is who she left my brother for, he thought, with that he left. His presence lingered as he was gone. Mike turned to his wife and was speechless. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. "It's not what you think" Hermia abruptly stated "Then what is it?" He asked, suddenly finding his voice back Hermia returned his question with silence. "Let me tell you how this look like, it looks like you are cheating on me with your ex-husband after you found out that he wasn't actually poor" "That's not how it is, I won't leave you for that bastard, that wasn't even Xander that's Adam. I don't know the reason why he looks so much like Xander" Hermia defended. "It doesn't matter if it's Xander or Adam, I thought you've mov

Few years agoThe sky was clear and seemed it like a nice day until it wasn't. Kids giggles and scream could be heard from the public playground donated to the orphanage.The twin brothers sat on the swing, both lazily move it. They were around fourteen, one of the oldest kids in the orphanage. "You want to join them?" Young Adam asked breaking the comfortable silence between the brothers. He nodded to the group of older kids playing soccer at the other end of the playground."No" young Alexander responded immediately. "Don't lie, you have been watching them for quiet some time" Adam insisted."True, I will love to join them but they are just jerks, I wonder if their brain get smaller the older they get" Alexander said innocently, causing Adam to chuckle. Adam's chuckle got the attention of the boys playing soccer. They halted their game and walked towards the twins. "What are you laughing at?" One of the four boys asked Adam who ignored them like they didn't exist and stared at

"Mr. And Mrs. Wick have come to fancy you and would like you to join their family" the director said with a smile that barely reached his eyes. Alexander turned his head to have a look at the sweet couples who decided to adopt a fourteen years old. They smiled sweetly at him and he smiled back. "Okay, but can you adopt by twin brother?" He politely asked and he noticed how quickly the director's smile disappeared and appeared again when the couples turned to director or help. "They can't afford two children and they have fallen in love with you, don't you want a family?" Director said in a calm tone seemed scary to people who are familiar with him. Alexander nodded curtly and looked at the slightly closed door from the corner of his. He was sure his brother was behind it listening as usual, waiting in case the director does something funny like slap him like he did the last time."Off you go, let me discuss with your adoptive parents" the director said with a smile and Alexander n

Alexander's sleepy eyes widened as the sleep left his eyes. His eyes wandered to Adam's for signs of joke.Nothing, he noted. His eyes left his face and went down his body.His brother wasn't dressed in their usual sleep wear, T-shirt and brief. Instead a black polo and jeans gotten for them by the matrons last christmas. He also noticed he had a small old back pack their mother had wore on them the last time they saw her. "Are you for real!" Alexander whispered. Adam shrugged his shoulder and his lip tilted a little upward. Alexander sat up as Adam reached for his bed and pulled down the clothes he had readied for him and an identical backpack to his. Only difference was that one was better kept then the other. "I tried to clean it up the best I could" Adam said as he gave him the bag. Alexander ran his hand through the old zipper. This was the only thing that reminded him of their mom as he couldn't recollect how she looked like, not like Adam did. He started to undo the zipper
Chapter 58
Everywhere was dark and nothing. No pain, no sense of anything, just total completeness of nothing until he heard the beeping sound. He wanted to turn to check where the sound was coming from but it was like he didn't have a body, just a sense that he was in a very dark place and that scared the shit out of him. At the same time the beeping got faster. He screamed maybe someone could hear and help him but no voice came out of his mouth. Then he tried to recount how he got here but nothing came up except for one. The one name that came to his mind like it had its own heart. Adam."Adam" he shouted as he opened his eyes. It was blur at first but he could make out people hovering above him before his vision cleared."Can you hear me Mr. Cage?" He heard the woman dressed in scrub ask him. He didn't know how to respond to that as no other word came to his mind other than 'Adam' and that's what he said. "Adam" he said lowly. Xander felt someone take his hand and turned to looked at the

"What do you mean by it's your brother's fault, even if it's truly his fault, Mr. Cage said that he died also you have no memory of him" Hunter said and wiped his tears stained face with the back of his hand. "I do now, I remember him, I remember our childhood, he was always the freak that put on a tough appearance but he was funny and caring in his own way" Xander said as his eyes lost focus and he reminisced about his past. "Even if you remembered him, how are you so sure he is alive and he is responsible for all these?" Hunter asked. "Gut feeling" Xander said with a smile then his eyes focused on Hunter again"You look like a mess" Xander said earning him a glare from his assistant. "That's because that's how I felt inside, gosh, I haven't even washed up since yesterday" Hunter said with a grimace as he sniffed his underarm. Xander scrunched his face and said, "So the sink was coming from you, I wonder if it was what woke me up from coma"Hunter gave him a light shoved at that
