The Destined Encounter 29 Chapter 29: Rumors

The Charity ball was a big success. It was all over the news. The mere fact that it was attended by the Celebrities, Politicians and most influential and powerful people in the business industries made it the talked of the town but what caught the media's eyes is the photo of Bea joining the bidding and having a date with the man that turns out to be the bachelor business tyc.o.o.n CEO of the Montero Empire. There has been a rumors circulating that the two were dating before when they were young and now that the model is already divorced they decided to give their old romance a chance.

Liam felt very insecure when he first heard the news. It's not that he believes in any of them cause Lance already asked for his permission in joining the said bidding before hand but he felt insecure by the mere fact that the two looks good together. He immediately recognize the woman and indeed she really is very pretty, smart and has a good credentials and background. She already achieve a lot in the model and entertainment industry unlike him who hadn't even have a degree. And what's more they used to date back then.

"Liam, are you ok?" Chester has been very worried over Liam ever since the news broke. He knows that the Omega is just trying to keep it all in.

"I'm fine, what gives?" Liam looked at him trying to fake a smile.

"I know you Liam that's why I can tell when you are faking it."

"Nothing, I just thought they look good together that's all."

Liam tried to shake the thoughts away. He knows that he is the person that his husband who is in love with. But ever since seeing the news he sometimes question himself if he still have the right to be by Lance side if he can't even give him a complete family, maybe the pretty girl is much suited for his husband, maybe she could give him the complete family the he couldn't.

***************

Although Liam a.s.sured Lance that he doesn't mind and believe the news he can't sit still. Something has been bothering him since then. He tried to block the news from spreading further. He doesn't want to worry his wife. He doesn't want his past to be exposed. He already told Liam the truth about his 5 years relations.h.i.+p with Bea and he can see through Liam that he felt inferior to her. He doesn't want his wife to feel like that's why he took care of it as soon as possible.

"News about that woman was never a pleasant and quiet one. Why is that Lance?" Terrence asked.

"When the two of your were dating no news ever appeared in that five years and now that you two are no longer dating a rumor just suddenly immerge. What's worst is that it brought up your past relations.h.i.+p with her" Terrence exaggeratedly said.

"I don't know and I don't care. I already released a statement that denies the rumors and I already had someone remove the article along with the photos." Lance leaned back to his chair and close his eyes as he heave a sighed.

"How about you? What Happened to your wife's case?" Lance wonder what Terrence did to the woman who had beaten his wife.

Terrence showed him his playful smile. "Oh I'm having fun taking everything from them one by one. I love to see that woman's stressed and burnt out face from fear of her loosing to this case." Terrence sit on the coach crossing his legs and lean his back on the coach "I want to see her suffer behind bars. I'm digging some dirt that I can use to press on more charges so that I can a.s.sure that she will be spending a long time there reflecting."

Lance looked at him. "How about the husband isn't he your wife's old customer?"

"Oh that man, of course I didn't let him off the hook either. I'm slowly stripping him of his wealth and power."

"Why don't you just stripped it all in one go?"Lance got curious because if that was him he would make sure the man will file a bankruptcy in 2 days time.

"There's no fun in that. You see seeing the man struggling but ended up with nothing is still the best vengeance. It's like taking the limbs of an insect one by one till it can no longer move." Lance can see his expression darken. "If I could, I would have cut off his d.i.c.k and feed it to the dogs but I don't want to loose my licence so yeah, this kind of torture is far better than torturing him physically." Lance can't believe how ruthless Terrence can get. The bringer of Justice is the one twisting the law to his liking so he can get what he wants that's what makes the Harris scary but even more so the fact that Terrence used to worked as a secret agent makes it even scarier. The moment he got his license as a lawyer, Terrence decided to quite and just focused on his career as a lawyer. Now he is Just doing some side jobs for them but no longer active as a secret agent.

"You're scary man don't you know that?" Lance asked with a hint of grimace on his face.

"Well seeing my wife angry is even more scarier." Terrence commented.

"You bet." Lance agreed.

"Anyways I need to go man. My wife is waiting for me at home."

"You're still living in that shabby apartment unit?"

"Yeah! That's where my wife wanted to live beside he feels more comfortable living there."

"Isn't it not hard for you to live there? You're basically a rich spoiled, happy go lucky kind of guy. You have everything at the tips of your fingers." Terrence pretend to think about his friend's question.

"Well yes and no. Yes in a manner that the house is so small, there are no maids nor butlers it is just me, my wife and the kids. But once you get used to it you'll going to get a hang on how things works and you'll realize it is not that hard after all."

Lance smiled at his friend's answer. "You really did change a lot."

"Well you too did change a lot. But it's a good change so keep it up." With that Terrence bid Lance goodbye.

****************

Terrence was going home in a bike when a silver sedan car stopped and rolled down it's drivers window to him. He looked to see who is driving the car. "Hi Terrence, I was not expecting to see you here."The woman just looked at him from head to toe like she's studying him. "So what are you doing riding on a bicycle?" Terrence just sneered. "None of your business." He just left the woman without answering her.

Ms. Kim went inside of Lance's office to informed him about Bea's visitation. Lance doesn't want to meet the woman but he needs to make things clear to her.

Minutes later after informing Ms. Kim, Lance heard a knocked and second's later a woman that he knows emerge from the door.

"Hi Lance I hope I didn't disturb you." Bea said apologeticaly, she even exhibit hint of embarra.s.sment.

"No you didn't." Lance statement earned a shy and sweet smile from the woman. "Go have a sit." Bea quickly take a sit and it didn't take her a while when Lance Secretary came back with a cup of coffee for her.

"So what's the reason for your visit?" Lance asked. The woman keeps on fidgeting in her seat like a nervous little girl that wants to asked her daddy to buy him something for her.

"Actually I wanted to apologise for the article about us. I didn't want to drag you to my messy life. It's just that people often give meanings to my relations.h.i.+p with all the guys they see me with." Lance can see the sincerity in the woman's eyes.

"Don't worry I already taken care of it. I already paid someone to take it down and I already released a statement that denies all what's written in the article." Bea's face suddenly fell as soon as she heard that it has been taken care of.

"Oh is that so?" The woman fake a smile. "Then as an apology and also to celebrate can I treat you to dinner?" The woman asked enthusiastically.

"No, I'll be eating at home." Lance said.

"Then can I just come and eat dinner with you at home?" Lance heart pounds with the thought that Bea and Liam will meet. "NO! I changed my mind. It's not everyday that you invite me to dinner so I'll go with you." Lance is already webbing reasons he can give to Liam for not having dinner at home together with him.

"Great, I'll just wait for you to finish then maybe we can head straight to the restaurant. Oh I'll just go to the washroom." Bea dialled someone as soon as she got out of Lance office.

"Hey remember what I told you? All you need to do is to captured as together and write an article about it. Yeah don't worry I'll pay you double." Bea filling satisfied went to fixed her make up and hair. "Tonight you are going to be the future of this company." she said to herself while looking at her own reflection in the mirror wearing an eerie smile.

IN THE AIRPORT

"After 3 years I'm finally back." Said the man on a tight black body fit s.h.i.+rt and ripped faded denim blue jeans partnered by dark brown leather boots flat heeled shoes. His tattoos can be seen from his neck down to his right arms. A variations of designs and symbols. his beard was cleanly shave in a Garibaldi cut.

"Sir, welcome back." The man in a suit welcomed him and helped the man to carry his suit case.

"How was the old man? Still breathing?" The man asked sitting on the pa.s.senger side of the car.

"Yes your father is well as always. He also want to see you now so I'll be taking you to him." The man only tsked in response.

"How about my pet that I left here? Does he have clients today? If he has I want you to cancel all his reservations for tonight I want to f.u.c.k him." The man commanded more than asking.

"Which one Sir, there are plenty of them which you have been f.u.c.king all at the same time."

"The one I got pregnant with and have to forced to get an abortion. After all he is my favourite." The thought about that time when the Omega really thought that he was really in love with him. It amuses him how the Omega was so gullible in believing all his promises and lies that makes him want to play with him again.

"I'll arrange everything and ready him as soon as your meeting with your father is done." Said the man in the suit.

"I can't wait to play with you again. I wonder how will you going to amuse me this time?"
