...Seven years later...
Reis:
The company has declined a lot over this time, for the past five years it's been a downhill slope, going from number one on the list of best adult entertainment companies to number three. But at least it hasn't affected the finances much, which is great.
It's also been seven years since the day Jasper left me, I found out almost a month later that he had gone to Europe with that alpha woman, I never doubted that he would go with her. But sometimes I wondered what he did with the baby, if he really had the abortion or if Jasper is still raising him. Just thinking about this topic made me angry.
"After all this time, is it normal that I still think about Jasper...? I don't think so, because I marked him, we are connected in some way, and if I still feel something strongly for him, it's because he is still alive. Thank goodness... Still, even though I think I would love to see him again, I don't know what I would actually do if I saw him again... Not just because we are bonded, but my mind is so confused about it that I don't even like to think about it."
"I know that when an Omega is marked, they can't belong to anyone else other than their own alpha, so if he tried to have something with someone else, it would be impossible for him. I can't say the same for myself, I've had multiple relationships with both women and Omega men, none of them satisfied me as much as Jasper did. If I felt that way, I'm sure he longed for me too."
My head during that week is full of thoughts about Jasper because I found out through Isaac that he was coming back because he had become a widower. And besides offering my condolences, I wanted to talk about the unfinished business between us, considering he ran away even though last time everything I did was a reaction to my heat.
He was unfair and selfish. Not to mention that he was selling information about me to SE, which is now the number one company in the rankings. I've never felt as betrayed as I do with Jasper.
"Sir?" I was in my home office, and Isaac came to me.
"Yes, tell me."
"The airplane he came on just arrived, he should be disembarking."
"... Prepare my car and fetch him."
"... Aren't you coming?"
"Better not. Just fetch him and bring him here. I feel like if I see him before preparing myself, I'll end up doing something foolish."
"Understood, I'm going."
As soon as Isaac left, there I was again, wondering if all of that was really necessary or if what I was about to do was really necessary. "I can't let myself get carried away, let's talk about the bond and just that. I can't accept that our relationship was so short-lived the way it happened."
Airport, 2:00 PM
Jasper:
We arrived at the airport even after that turbulent flight, "Ah... I hope I never have to get on a plane again! I'm terrified!" Suddenly, I heard a horn and a familiar voice calling my name from afar.
"Jasper!"
"... Isaac...?"
"Is it possible... I just arrived in the country and Reis already found me...?" I felt a soft and small touch on my hand, a beautiful boy with black hair and fair skin, with striking eyes. I knew him well.
"... Who is he?..."
"Oh, he's an old friend of mine. But I don't think he'll take us to a place I'll like..."
"?! So, he's bad?!"
"Hahaha no. But I can't say the same about the guy he works for..."
Isaac came over to us with his genuine smile that captivates anyone and greeted us.
"With all due respect, don't take this the wrong way, but you look very handsome, Jasper!"
"Oh, thank you! It's good to see you again, Isaac...!"
"Likewise. And who is this little one?"
"He's Romeo... My son."
Certainly, his reaction wasn't the best, Isaac seemed surprised, but he made an expression that said: I won't interfere.
"... Um, nice to meet you, Romeo!"
"Uh, nice to meet you..."
"Let's go, Jasper? That guy is waiting for you. And he's going to be surprised when he sees this little guy here."
"... Let's go..."
So we followed Isaac, me and Romeo, my son, to Reis' car, but he wasn't there. "To think that out of everything that happened during this time, the last thing I expected was to meet Reis as the second person... I'm anxious... But in a bad way..."
After driving for a while, we finally arrived at Reis' house. Nothing had changed, it felt like I had never left. Isaac took our bags and escorted us to the living room, leaving us there and taking our bags away.
"?, Daddy, are we staying here?"
"... I'll see about that. Don't worry, Romeo, okay?"
"... Okay..."
Romeo held my hand tightly and I walked to the center of the room, still holding onto my son's hand, when we came face to face with Reis, who was sitting on the couch, smoking and drinking.
As soon as he saw us, he gave a slight smirk and placed his glass and cigarette on the table, motioning for us to sit.
"Bossy as always."
"... I am offering only one seat, after all the boy seems tired."
"... Sit down, Romeo."
"Okay."
Reis stared at Romeo, who sat next to me on the couch and didn't let go of my arm. "Reis, you idiot...! Why are you releasing pheromones at a time like this?! My body...! I have to control myself, even if they're not erotic pheromones, this is having a really bad effect on me. And Romeo is here...!"
"Can you stop releasing pheromones?"
Romeo was suppressing himself because of them.
"Does it bother you?"
"... My son doesn't need to feel such bad pheromones! So stop it."
"... Your 'son'?..."
"Damn it... I know it was kind of obvious, but I should have waited a little longer...!" Reis walked up to the two of us and touched Romeo's head, giving him a pat.
"You never told me you had a son."
"... We haven't spoken in years, it would be stupid to call you to talk about something that has nothing to do with you."
"Really? has nothing to do with me?... Okay.... What's his status?"
"... He's a dominant Alpha. He took the test two years ago."
"That explains it."
The atmosphere became strange after that.
"... So... Why did you want me to come here?..."
"I want to talk to you. About the past. Our past."
