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

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

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

Back at the Cage Mansion."They think they’ve won."Xander’s jaw tightened as he stared at the tablet in his hand. The breaking news headline glared back at him like a slap to the face.“Alexander Cage, new chairman of XL Conglomerate, caught stealing company secrets—Retaliation against his estranged father?”A video of him stealing soft copy files from the company database.He didn’t blink.His silence filled the office like smoke—thick, heavy, suffocating.Max stood nearby, frozen mid-step. “Young master, we—”“I know it’s a setup,” Xander said, cutting him off with a calm too controlled to be natural. “I just don’t know who pulled the trigger.”Max exchanged a tense glance with the bodyguard in the room but said nothing.Xander rose from the leather chair, one hand still gripping the tablet. His reflection stared back at him from the glass office wall. Not the man they used to mock. Not the broken husband. Not the “useless son-in-law.” This was someone else.Someone dangerous.“The

"Baby, be quick you got to see this" Hermia heard her husband, Mike call her from the bathroom. She just got home from a business lunch with a new business owner in hopes that he would be their investor. The chances of that happening was very low after the dinner ended. She decided to soak in a bath when she got to her new condo that Mike got them after their honeymoon. If only the bath could wash away all her problems. "In a minute" she answered and stood from the bath. She went to shower and washed off the foam before dried herself with a white towel and wore a pink robe. "Honey, what if it?" She asked when she entered the sitting room. "Come sit, you are going to love this" Mike said patting the space next to him. She rolled her eyes but still sat beside him. She joined him in watching the television, thinking he was only seeking her attention until she listened in to the news. "The new Chairman of XL conglomerate, Alexander Cage was caught on CCTV steal some of the company s

What was he thinking when he came here to ask his father?What was he expecting him say?Was he really in denial of the truth staring at him right in his face. He wanted them to tell him it was a lie that was just a document mix up or they could tell him it was a plot twist or a misery that's yet to be solved. Not that he had another brother but a twin brother."I don't have a twin brother" he stated, his eyes became glassy and narrowed as he spoke. Cameron was about to speak up before Max pressed a hand on his shoulder to take over from there. "You do have a twin brother, you just don't remember him" Max said. "You knew?" Xander asked his father former assistant, his voice broke at the end. The chairman's reaction silenced him, leading him only to nod. "You knew and didn't say anything" Xander stated calmly but his eyes was still glassy. He won't let the tear fall and make them think he weak. "We thought it was better for you to find out by yourself" Max answered and held his
