"Thank you Jason, Jiejie," Terrence said when they arrived in front of the villa to drop him off.
"Terrence, talk to him nicely." Annie Cheng reminds him.
"Don't worry, Jiejie. Thank you!"
"Your handsome lover is waiting." Jason Cheng said as he used his pouted lips to point at Denver waiting by the door.
"Okay. Bye! Bye!"
The Cheng siblings then left after they sent him home.
"How's your trip with your friends, Sweetie?" Denver asked after Terrence kissed him. They then walked inside with Denver's arm wrapped around his waist.
"Good, Babe. How's your bonding with Sheldon? Where is he?"
"He is still inside my playroom. We are doing a science experiment when you arrive."
"Good! I need to go to shower first then I'll join you both after." Terrence removed Denver's arm from his waist when they reached the second floor.
"Okay, Sweetie. We'll wait for you!" Denver pinched his nose before he let him go.
When Terrence get inside he kept the contract inside his drawer in his wardrobe. Then he went for a quick shower. "I'll speak to him tomorrow about it. I don't think he can do that to my Dad." Terrence thought giving the benefit of the doubt to Denver.
"Daddy, look! I and Daddy are experimenting." Sheldon said after he picked him up to kiss him.
"Oh wow! What are you two experimenting with?"
"Ahm, love potions. Daddy said."
Terrence covered his mouth so as not to burst out his laughter.
"What?!" He looked at Denver.
"We don't know what to call it so I just randomly gave it a name."
"You two...."
"Sweetie, is there something bothering you? I can feel it." Denver whispered in his ears as he pulled him to sit on his lap while they're watching Sheldon.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow about it Babe." Terrence tilted his head a bit as he felt Denver's warm breath on his neck.
"Sweetie, are you offering your neck for me." He continued whispering, his lips lightly brushing his earlobes.
"Your son is watching, horny beast." Terrence turned his head and told him to pinch his nose. Then he stood up and went beside Sheldon.
Denver left scratching his nape lowering his head looking at his growing bulge. That's how sensitive his little Didi is when it comes to Terrence.
They stayed in Denver's playroom for another hour before they all decided to have early dinner as Denver had to leave to meet his friends.
"Baby tonight, Daddy Saavedra will read stories for you okay? Tomorrow, we'll play again. Daddy needs to meet friends."
"Okay, Daddy. Friends only. No girls. Daddy Saavedra doesn't like it." Sheldon reminded Denver averting his gaze to Terrence who was just smiling at them.
"Promise Baby. Daddy won't find girls. Daddy Saavedra is already enough." Denver responded by pulling them together closer to him and kissed them both on their foreheads.
Terrence sent Denver to their main door.
"I have something for you, Babe." Terrence took a small box from his pocket.
"What is it?"
Terrence opened the box and took a necklace with a bullhead pendant.
"For you Babe."
"Why?"
"Just a simple token for you being nice to me." He put the necklace on his neck.
"You don't have to buy this Sweetie. Your love for me is so strong already."
"Look, Babe. It fits your outfit tonight." Denver is wearing a simple casual outfit, jeans top with navy long sleeves shirt paired with brown mid boots. Who could've told him he is a CEO with his simple outfit.
"Okay. Thank you so much, Sweetie. I love it."
"You can go now, Babe. James is waiting for you."
"Okay bye. I love you!" Denver then gave him a kiss that took about two minutes before he parted his lips.
"I love you!"
"I have to go, Sweetie, or we'll end up on the bed instead." Denver winked at him.
"Perverted beast." Terrence chuckled as he knew what he was talking about.
Denver and James arrived at the usual place where they always like to hang out.
"This way Sir." The receptionist led them to a private lounge of the resto-bar at their favorite hotel. The place is known to be the hangout of five of them, especially Denver.
Women and men who were guests that night averted their attention to Denver and James who just arrived. For ladies, he is a good catch but they always fail as Denver doesn't like to sit with them. He preferred to be alone even before Terrence arrived in his life.
"Oh, the super-in-love CEO has arrived." Mathew immediately stood up from his seat when he saw Denver and James come in.
They did a fist bump as a gesture of their friendship to welcome each other.
"So how's life going on with our cold CEO? Is it always hot now?" Warren teased him.
Denver immediately drank the wine that Mathew gave to him as he still felt thirsty after his skin-to-skin contact with Terrence.
"Did you all plan this to tease me?"
"Of course not! We just miss hanging out together. We wanted to release some stress from work." Chris Yap responded.
"So how is Terrence?" Warren Garcia asked.
"He's good!"
"At where?" Mathew smiled as he asked.
"I mean he is fine. Very diligent in his work in the company. Good at parenting our son."
"And good to make you sleepy at work," James said while his eyes were on his wine glass, playing it.
The rest laughed out loud as they heard James.
"Tsh! You all laugh at me. When you guys got married you will all experience the same."
"We just can't imagine. You're the one who has a cold personality. Don't dare to date women but now head over in love with a man?" Mathew said.
"Terrence is not hard to fall in love with, according to my brother." Denver stopped drinking his wine when he heard Warren Garcia. "Oopppsss, don't get jealous right away Mr. CEO." Warren Garcia raised his hand to stop him.
"Go ahead." He said.
"My brother said he had a crush on Terrence but he treated him as best friends. My brother knows how Terrence thinking about his son's father since he got pregnant." Warren Garcia narrated.
"Then?"
"My brother has no courage to confess as he respects their friendship. When Dad arranged his marriage, he was quite devastated and ran to Terrence. Do you know that my brother used Terrence and your son for a cover-up? They pretended as a couple when in public?"
"Terrence never told me that."
"They just did that to stop my brother's fans from making speculations and assumptions about his love life. He is a celebrity so his life is followed by his fans."
"Hmm.." Denver just nodded.
At the bar counter outside, Alena Ang is having fun talking with her best friend.
"I heard your fiance is here." Her best friend said as soon as she arrived and sat down on the barstool.
"Yeah! He is with his friends."
"Why didn't you go with him?"
"That's for the boys." He lied as Denver doesn't even know she's there nor doesn't even talk to her.
"Okay! I have to go to the washroom first." Her friend then left after she nodded to her.
Alena Ang then speaks to one of the bartenders. After they talked she gave him an envelope secretly. Then she left and went to her other friends.
Back to the private lounge occupied by Denver and his friends.
"Waiter! Can we have some more wine please?" Warren Garcia ordered from the waiter. The waiter then went outside to take their order.
"Matthew Zhuo, how's the project going?" Denver remembered asking his friend beside him.
"The construction is quite fast as all our men are focused on their work."
"Maybe because you did supervise them very well."
"I am just working with them too. How about you? James told me you're investigating something?"
Denver nodded. "To put things in place."
"I heard your brother just came back. What are you going to do then?"
"Well, if Henry Madrigal wanted to replace me then that would it be. I'm leaving the company. I cannot choose the company over Terrence and my son. I did my best to be the best CEO of the company. I help it grow to the top. I think that's all enough. What Brian needs to do is to continue the legacy of the Madrigal Family." Denver then drunk the amount of wine left in his wine glass.
Their order then came. The waiter poured the wines into new wine glasses replacing the previous ones before serving them.
"I need to go to the washroom," Denver said to his friends but drunk the wine the waiter just served them before he went outside.
He is on his way to the washroom when he meets Alena Ang.
"Hey, my dear fiance. You're here! So long you didn't come here. What a coincidence!"
"Don't touch me. Stay away from me." Denver was then about to leave when he suddenly felt dizzy and wobbled when he made a step.
"Are you okay, Denver?"
Denver yanks her arm when she's about to hold him. He then held his forehead as he felt dizzy.
"I'll help you!" Alena didn't wait for him to respond and put his arm on her shoulder and led to the lift.
"You!" Denver can't speak anymore as he felt his head spinning. His mind seems to work but his body doesn't cooperate. He felt something fiery burning inside of him.
"Come! This way!" Alena has difficulty taking him but she mànage to take him to one of the rooms of the hotel.
"Nooo!" He said as he started hallucinating. He cupped Alena's face and was about to kiss her when he saw Terrence's face flashed. "You are not Terrence," he said, pushing her away.
Alena Ang tried hard to kiss him but he tried to get away from her. He made his steps to the bathroom and washed his face. He thinks that it might help him ease those strange feelings.
While he is inside of the washroom, Alena tears the shoulder of her dress exposing almost half of her breast and she messes up her hair and makes her look like molested forcefully. She did the same on her lips.
Denver got out from the bathroom wobbling. He went straight to the door but was blocked by Alena.
"Look at what you did to me. Are you going to leave me like this?" Her acting started.
"I didn't do anything. I have to go home." Denver answered, trying to fight the burning feeling inside of him.
In Denver's villa, Terrence is sitting on the couch eating his favorite snacks. He is watching his favorite television program while waiting for Denver.
He heard a beep sound from his phone. He took it and opened it.
"Whoa! What a desperate move." He laughed. Then he picked up the company phone and dialed James's number.
"James, please go out and meet Denver at the lift he is coming down. Bring him back home immediately." He told James as soon as he picked up his call.
"Yes, Mr. Saavedra!"
"What happened?" Terrence heard other Denver's friends before he hung up the call.
He then uses his phone to dial another number.
"I'll send you the address and the particular place. You need to retrieve all the CCTV footage from the private lounge to the lift up to Room #504. I want you to send it to me. ASAP!"
"Right away, Sir!" A man responded.
"Let us see what drama you are going to do this time, Alena Ang! I'll give you a nice game. I'll play with you." Terrence thought as he curled up his lips to smirk. He finished his snacks and went up to their room. He knows Denver will be there soon.
Fifteen minutes later, Denver and James arrived. James helped him go upstairs. Terrence immediately opened the door and was shocked as Denver immediately hugged him. James, who understood everything, closed the door and went downstairs to go back to his friends.
Denver crashed Terrence's lips and kissed him aggressively, pushing him on the bed. Terrence just let him do it to help him overcome the effects of the drugs. Yes! Denver was being drugged, a drug that stimulates his s****l desire. Terrence understands as he experienced it, the night he was drugged and helped by Denver.
At the hotel lounge, James is back after he sent Denver home.
"Where is Denver?" Chris Yap asked.
"I sent him home. He was drugged."
"What?! Who did that?' Warren, who was about to drink, asked while they're looking at each other.
James shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. Terrence just suddenly called me. I don't know how he knows Denver is upstairs."
Matthew stood up and went outside. He walked around and stopped at the bar counter observing people with suspicious movements. He shook his head when he saw Alena come out from the lift and run outside. What he saw was her messy hair and he noticed the torn part of her dress that she tried to cover with her hand. Matthew then went back to the lounge.
"I think we will witness a very good drama these following days. Let's wait for foe that." Matthew smirked as he told it to the rest.
"Why?" Chris Yap asked.
"Alena! I think she is the culprit for what happened to Denver."
"Well, we didn't see it with our own eyes but Terrence I think saw it and wanted to play the game with Alena," James said.
"Whoa! My brother must be right. Terrence is quite dangerous. He is not the kind of person who will give mercy to those who made him jealous." Warren Garcia chuckled.
"Not just jealousy. There might be something deeper." James drank the wine after saying it.
The rest are looking at each other than nodding, a gesture that they agree with what James said.
The next morning, Denver woke up with a splitting headache.
"Aaahh!" He threw himself back to their bed. "Sweetie..." he called Terrence.
Terrence who just got out of the bathroom heard Denver calling him.
"Yes, Babe?"
"My head is so painful." He massaged his temple.
"I will call someone to take your breakfast here so you can take the medicine." Terrence then uses the intercom to speak to someone in the kitchen.
"Do you remember what happened to you last night?"
"Why?"
"You're being drugged."
"What?!" Terrence nodded.
"It's Alena Ang."
"That b***h!" Denver remembers that he met her before he found himself being brought to the hotel room but managed to get out.
"She is plotting something against you, maybe. Let's wait for that. She won't stop until she ruins our relationship."
"She can't get what she wants."
"It is because I won't let her win. When it comes to you and Sheldon, I won't let anyone ruin us."
Denver then pulled him closer and kissed him.
"You mean last night I managed to come back and..."
"And you vent it to me. James sent you here."
"Oh sorry Sweetie, if I did that."
"It's fine Babe. It's much better than you did it with Alena Ang otherwise I became a murderer last night." Terrence chuckled.
"Silly!" Denver pinched his nose.
"You can rest again after breakfast Babe. Then we'll talk about something very important."
"What is it?"
"Ahm, later."
Terrence went down to get the breakfast that he asked the helpers to prepare.
"Good morning, Uncle Ben. What is that?" Terrence saw the butler from outside with a brown envelope in his hand.
"Someone sent this to you." He handed him the brown envelope.
"Thank you!" And about to turn when he remember Denver's breakfast.
"Uncle Ben, can you please send Denver's breakfast to our room please."
"Right away, young master." Benjamin then proceeded to the kitchen.
Terrence went back to their room. He found Sheldon lying beside Denver.
"Good morning, baby." He kissed Sheldon on his cheeks.
"Good morning, Daddy. Please stop calling me baby, Dad."
"Okay."
"Sweetie, you said you will take my breakfast," Denver asked as he leaned on the headboard of their bed.
"I asked Uncle Ben instead."
"What's that?"
"Ahm this?" He showed him the envelope.
Denver nodded.
"You will know soon. This will give us an interesting show. You better watch out." He then winked at Denver and chuckled. He kept the envelope inside the drawer where he put all his important stuff.
"The way you smile Daddy, that would be interesting."
"Your head is still in a lot of pain, Babe?" Terrence sat next to them.
"Still have a bit."
"It will get better soon."
"Daddy, did you drink too much?"
"Not that much son. It's just that I drank the wrong drinks." Sheldon just nodded as he understood it. "By the way, you have your driver starting on Monday so we can't send you to school but we still try if we're not that busy from work."
"Who is he, Daddy?"
"It's a surprise." Denver ruffled his hair.
Terrence is so happy to see that Denver and Sheldon get along together. "Hope that everything will be put in place so we can live a happy and peaceful life." He thought.
