MY TWO DADDY

Trust

Terrence went to the corner of the restaurant. He saw Annie Cheng waving at him.

"Jiejie, what is it?" Terrence immediately asked after they gave each other an embrace.

"You order what you want to eat first." Annie Cheng chuckled while looking at him.

Terrence then called the waiter.

"A cup of cappuccino, please. Thank you!"

"Just coffee?"

"Still early to have dinner."

"So how's your feeling now that you found Sheldon's Dad?"

"I'm happy!" Terrence's face beaming with happiness as he said it.

"Obviously!" Annie Cheng laughed at him. "But I am so impressed with our little Sheldon. How did he find out?"

"You know that boy. I sometimes don't know how to think about him. His intelligence is above average and above more. Hahaha!" Terrence laughed as he cannot describe how smart his son is.

"Well, a combination of Madrigal and Saavedra what else could I say?" Annie Cheng has high expectations for Sheldon.

"Anyway jiejie, what do you want to tell me?"

"Don't tell me you forgot your plans?"

"Of course I'm not. I am just busy since I am working under Madrigal Company."

"I will work on it. Jason Cheng too will help us find some clue about what had happened eight years ago."

"You know that last night someone broke into my house?"

"Really? Did they take something?"

"No! I think whoever did that just wanted to know who I am."

"Be careful! It's not the right time yet. We haven't started with our plans."

"I already hid all the documents that will lead me to my true identity."

"What if Denver finds out?"

"He will understand me. I will slowly tell him everything about me."

"Do you love him?" Terrence nodded.

"I can't forget him since that one night six years ago, especially when Sheldon was growing up, my curiosity ate me up about his father. "

"Just be careful with the older Madrigal."

"Thank you jiejie."

"You are always welcome Terrence Terrence. We are family, remember?"

"I never forget that."

"By the way, have you heard any news about your friend Ryan Flores?"

"Friend before. What happened to him?"

"Someone ran him over with a car and injured his limbs. He is now amputated."

"Huh! When did that happen?"

"I think that was two days after you left for the US."

"Why didn't you tell me when I was calling you before."

"Nah! I thought it isn't necessary and I don't want you to think those things as I wanted you to focus on your studies and taking care of Sheldon."

Terrence then remembered the day he went to Ryan Flores's house after that night he drugged him.

"Ryan Flores! Ryan Flores! Come out here!" Terrence was then at Ryan Flores's living room shouting, calling his name. He didn't come out so Terrence went to his slightly open room. He can hear his moaning as Ryan Flores is having a make-out with a woman.

"So disgusting!" He said it loudly made Ryan Flores stop what he was doing and the woman.

"Go dress up, I have a very special guest." Ryan Flores told the woman and stood up exposing his naked self to Terrence.

"What did you put on my drinks last night, i***t?"

"Oh! Did you like it? Did you enjoy the night?" Ryan Flores gave him a mocking smile.

Terrence quickly came in front of him and threw him a punch on his face.

"Why are you so mad? I think you also enjoy it. Who is the lucky one who tastes that delicious body of yours?"

"You're crazy! Are you even my friend?"

"I'm not. You're just lucky that I didn't accept the offer of Mr. Aaron Ang to sell your body to one of their investors as I wanted to enjoy thinking that you will offer your body to anyone you meet on the way while struggling yourself to get out from the effect of that drug."

"You're a devil friend. All these years I trusted you but you did this to me. You're gonna pay for this."

Terrence with his anger and feeling disgusted with himself threw punches and kicks on Ryan Flores who wasn't able to dodge it as Terrence is stronger than him. He left his house with blood on his wrist.

"What if I get pregnant?" The thought that made him decide to leave Manila the soonest possible to the US.

"Terrence Terrence, are you okay?" Annie Cheng asked when he saw Terrence in a daze.

"Ah yes, yes jiejie. I just remember the day when I went to Ryan Flores's house."

"Sorry to remind you about him."

"No. It's fine. No problem."

"So we will continue your other plan then?"

"Wait! I remember when I went to Ryan Flores he mentioned the name, Aaron Ang. Isn't that the father of Alena Ang?"

"I think so. Let's find out if he is the same person we suspected as a culprit to what had happened eight years ago and what had happened to you."

"If he is the same person, I am wondering why he did it to us."

"Maybe about business? You know how they are after power, right? That's also the reason why they arranged their daughter's marriage to Denver so whatever power the Madrigals have they can use it too. Your Dad then is soaring on his business and he is a big threat to other businessmen."

"Do you think there's a foul play on my Dad's death?"

"We're working on it now. We will open the case if we find any clue that there's foul play in his death."

"Thank you jiejie. What I can do now is to help you secretly with the investigation."

"No worries Terrence Terrence. We are siblings, remember? Hahaha!" Annie Cheng laughed.

Terrence was known as a son of Cheng to their friends. No one knows who he is except for his known family. His father and Alfred Cheng are childhood friends and became business partners. The reason why they hid Terrence is only the two of them know. Terrence asked his Dad but he always said. "Time will come son. You will know." Terrence then stopped asking until he got used to being Cheng's son. His name was then Cheng Terrence but he changed it when he was going to the US. Alfred Cheng is a lawyer so he manages to change everything for Terrence so he can use his real name without leaving any proof of his previous identity. (

"Yes jiejie we are siblings. Hehehe!"

They spent time together until dinner. It's past nine in the evening when they decided to go home. Terrence drove off to Denver's villa.

"Someone is tailing me. Hmmm..." Terrence noticed a suspicious car tailing him.

"Madam, he met one of the Cheng siblings, the lady." A man inside the black car tailing Terrence reported to whoever he is calling Madam.

"Where is he going now?"

"He is on his way to the young master's villa."

"Just keep an eye on him. Report everything to me. We need to find any loopholes to destroy him and separate him from Denver." The woman over the phone is angry.

"Yes, Madam. I will do it."

"Good!"

In Denver's villa, Denver is patiently waiting for Terrence in the living room. Sheldon already fell asleep after he read stories for him. Denver felt a different kind of happiness, the happiness he hadn't experienced before. He can't imagine himself being happy with his new routine with Terrence and Sheldon.

"Mr. Madrigal, excuse me. I found the CCTV footage from Madrigal Estate Residences. And we found out that those people are working under the Ang Family." James reported.

Denver gritted his teeth and darkness flashed on his face.

"Take those people and bring them to me." His voice though it's low and deep but it will send fears to anyone who knows who he is.

"At the same place young master tomorrow at dawn," James assured him that he will do what Denver told him.

Terrence then arrived fifteen minutes later. His brows furrowed as he saw Denver's aura as soon as he entered the living room.

"Babe, are you okay?" Terrence pecked him with a kiss on his lips.

"I'm fine, Sweetie." But he heaved a sigh. He then put his arm on his shoulder and led him to their room.

"How is Sheldon? Did he give you a hard time?"

"He is already asleep. He is happy today playing with me after you left."

"Did he ask for me?"

"Nope! He didn't ask about you until he was about to go to bed."

Terrence's mouth pouted. "Hmph! You steal his attention from me."

Denver stops walking at the stairs. He held Terrence's shoulder and turned his face towards him.

"Don't get jealous Sweetie. Our son just wanted to spend time with me. Remember what he said. He wanted to enjoy the moment now that we are a complete family."

"Okay!"

Denver nuzzled him on his nose with his nose and even his mouth.

"Don't worry Sweetie. I'm yours tonight. No one can steal my attention from you. Just make sure you lock the door otherwise that little monster will suddenly appear again in our room." Denver chuckled while teasing Terrence with his lips.

"Stop it, Babe. Let's go to sleep, it's late." Terrence then quickly released himself from Denver and went up first to their room.

Denver left smiling like an i***t scratching his nape. "Still shy? I already touched all his body but I'm still shy?" He chuckled at his thoughts thinking how Terrence blushed when he suddenly expressed his desires for him.

The next day, Terrence suddenly woke up when he felt an empty bed beside him early in the morning. The sun is not fully risen.

"Where did he go?" He thought as he squeezed his eyes and got up sluggishly out of bed. He went to Sheldon's room to check. "He might go there to sleep with Sheldon." But his brows creased as he didn't find Denver there. He went back to their room and took his phone.

"His phone is out of reach." He pouted. "Where did he go? Why didn't he tell me he will go out this early?" Doubts rush on his mind. His eyes narrowed and gritted his teeth. "Don't ever cheat on me Denver or else you can't find me and your son for the rest of your life."

Terrence didn't go back to sleep. He prepared himself and went to Sheldon's room.

"Good morning Daddy!" Sheldon is already awake when he went inside his room.

"Good morning baby."

"Daaaaddd? You're saying good morning to me but your face is dark as evening. Is there any problem?"

"Nothing son. Just go ahead and get ready and I'll send you to school."

"Yes, Daddy." Sheldon got down on his bed and went to the bathroom but before he went inside he stopped by the door. "Daddy, where is Daddy CEO?"

Instead of answering his son, Terrence went to his wardrobe and took Sheldon's uniform, and laid them on his bed.

"Baby your uniform is here. I'm gonna go down first to prepare our breakfast, yah."

"Okay, Daddy. Thank you!" Sheldon responds though he is quite intrigued why his Dad ignored him when he asked about his other Daddy. "Did they quarrel? Whoa! They will give me work again today if what I'm thinking is true."

Terrence was preparing the breakfast table when Sheldon came down to join him.

"Sit down Sheldon baby and have your breakfast."

"We don't wait for Daddy CEO?"

"No! We will be late."

"But still early, Daddy."

"Just do what I told you." Sheldon didn't argue anymore when he saw Terrence start eating quietly.

They're halfway eating their breakfast when Denver arrived on his trainers.

"Good morning, Daddy?" Sheldon greets him then averted his gaze to Terrence who didn't even take a look at Denver.

Denver looked at Sheldon and shrugged his shoulders, his way of asking about Terrence. The kid nodded. Denver came closer to Terrence and was about to kiss him but his face was blocked by a butter knife. He was taken aback and shook his head.

"Sheldon, if you're done you can go clean your teeth and get ready to go. Don't wait for me to call you again." Sheldon then got up from his seat, continued ignoring Denver, and went straight to their room upstairs to clean his teeth too.

"Baby, what happened to your Dad?" Denver asked Sheldon almost whispered when he saw Terrence gone upstairs.

"I don't know Dad, when I woke up he is in my room but his face was as dark as in the evening."

"I think I know why. You follow what he said and get ready otherwise you also will get into trouble."

"Yes, Daddy CEO. Good luck! Hihihi!" Sheldon teased Denver.

"Thank you, Son." He then ran to the stairs and went to their room and locked the door before Terrence could get out.

"Sweetie?" Denver called Terrence outside the washroom. He heard the tap is closed. In a minute, Terrence got out but ignored Denver who was standing next to the door.

"Sweetie, are you mad at me? Sorry if I didn't wake you up this morning. I'm in a hurry to do important things." Terrence remains quiet.

"Sweetie, please talk to me." Denver blocks his way wherever he wants to go but he is quietly avoiding him with his eyes fiery with anger.

"Okay fine! If you don't talk to me." Denver lost his patients. He grabbed Terrence on his shoulder and with his strength he pushed Terrence on the bed and pinned his hands above his head.

"Let me go!" Terrence said, gritting his teeth.

"Then tell me, why you're mad at me like this."

"You know the reason why Denver, so let me go." Terrence's eyes glistened with a forming liquid at the corner of his eyes. He was going to cry but he tried to hold it.

"Tell me directly. Don't treat me like this. If there's any problem, talk to me. Don't just ignore me. I don't like it. I want you to be straightforward."

"If you don't like it then don't." Terrence's tears fall. He squirmed trying to get away from Denver.

"Sweetie, please. I didn't mean to hurt you." Denver released his hands and wiped his tears. He kissed him on his forehead.

"I went out early to deal with the people who broke into your house the other night. I didn't wake you up because I don't want to disturb you from your sleep." Denver said as he cupped Terrence's face.

In between sniffs, Terrence speaks. "I thought you went out to meet someone." He averted his gaze when he said it. He felt guilty. Denver chuckled as he pinched his cherry-like colored cheeks.

"Don't think about that, Sweetie. Trust me. Whatever happens, whatever circumstances may come, just trust me. We need each other. We are going to face those people soon. We will together fight against them. I will trust you too. Just tell me if you ever have a problem, don't hide anything from me." Denver said as he looked at him intently.

Terrence nodded. "I trust you, Babe. But I wasn't able to control my emotions this morning when I woke up without you by my side."

"I'm so sorry about that. It was my fault. I won't do it again."

"Daddy, Daddy CEO. I'm getting late now. Please it's not time to make a baby brother. I'm not ready to take care of him." Sheldon is shouting outside their door while knocking it hard.

Denver then got up from on top of Terrence then held his hand and lifted him. He then held him on his waist and gave him a peck on his lips.

"Sweetie, your son needs to learn to say words that only need to be said in private. I'm starting to get scared of him now." Denver claimed his lips after giving him a passionate kiss.

Denver was just distant from him when they heard someone trying to open the door. Before they can make their steps towards the door, it swung open and there Sheldon standing with his eyes narrowed with anger, arms crossed on his chest with mouth pouting.

"I'm waiting downstairs for so long waiting for the two of you and now, Daddy CEO, still not ready yet? What are you two doing just now? Huh?"

"Sheldon, enough. Okay, it's our fault but you cannot say things like that." Terrence scolded Sheldon and made his face more grumpy.

"Babe, tell James to get your suit and your stuff and bring it to the office. We need to go now." Terrence then grabbed Sheldon, carried him down outside to the main entrance where his car was waiting. Denver just shook his head following them.

"Sheldon, I know we did wrong just now but you cannot talk to me and your Daddy like that again especially when there are people around. What are they gonna tell us then? That we didn't teach you manners? I know how straightforward you are but know your limits on spitting words." Terrence spoke to Sheldon while they're on their way to Sheldon's school. He is sitting in the passenger seat behind the driver's seat while Terrence is in the front seat next to Denver who is driving.

"Yes, Daddy! I'm so sorry!" Sheldon bent his head a little looking down to hide his face. He is fidgeting his fingers trying to ease his feelings of being upset.

Denver freed his other hand from the steering wheel and held Terrence's hand and gently squeezed it. Terrence looked at him. He shook his head telling him to stop scolding Sheldon anymore.
