"When the hell is that rain going to stop!" Yibo thought as he stood under a tree to get a cover from the rain with his phone flashlight on.

He looked up while Zhan was right beside him, enjoying his mate's company.

Yibo sighed as he rubbed his neck and sat down against the tree while Zhan joined him.

"Shall we talk about something? so that the time will pass quickly?" Zhan said.

"What do you want to talk about?" Yibo asked as he yawned.

"Anything, let's start from how have you been all these years?"

Yibo smiled, "I have been good."

"Why did you vanish back then?"

Yibo sighed as he looked up, "My parents had died, and I had a multi-national company to look after as I was the sole heir."

Zhan nodded, "Oh... my condolences."

Yibo hugged his knees to his chest as he kept his head on his kneed and looked at Zhan, "how have you been these years? And why are you single?"

Zhan who sat in a lotus position against the tree, smiled as he looked at Yibo, "Well I was waiting for my soulmate. You know the one who would rock my world."

Yibo smiled, "and I suppose you haven't found them yet."

Zhan looked at him and their eyes locked, the two maintained eye contact as if Zhan was trying to tell Yibo that 'it's you, idiot.'

"I actually found them."

There was a very, very small change in Yibo's expression that Zhan would have missed but thank god he didn't, he saw Yibo's eyes twitch a little.

"Oh... I see who is it? have you confessed?"

Zhan smiled, "no, not yet. They are sort of married."

Yibo's eyes widened at this as he pressed his lips together and slowly nodded, "Oh... I see. That's tragic."

"I know."

"By the way I had no idea that you were the owner of Damia."

"I had no idea that you were the owner of 'the guardian' like you were really a big shot person even in college."

Yibo laughed before he sighed and looked at the sky again as he kept his head against the trunk of the tree, "good old days they were."

Yibo yawned again as his eyes were becoming more and more heavy, "this damn place has no network I wish I can tell Ziyi that I will be late she must be freaking out."

"Well, this is a forest you see." Zhan said as he slowly raised his hand and kept it around Yibo's shoulder before he grabbed his head and slowly kept it on his shoulder, "get some sleep."

"Wake me up when the rain stops please."

"Sure," Zhan said as Yibo kept his head on his shoulder and then his head against Yibos before he minds linked Marius and told him the situation.

Marius on the other felt tired suddenly.

He sat down on the chair and yawned.

He can't leave Ziyi especially not when there was danger lurking outside.

However, he was hurt and felt bad and his heart still clenched at the disdainful expression of his mate.

Yes, he fucked up, he messed up big time no wonder she was so mad at him maybe even disgusted, and might forgive him either.

Before Marius never cared for a mate but now that he has one he does not want to lose her.

Thinking about all these things he slowly fell asleep on the table.

However this time his sleep was not so peaceful as this time in this dream he was greeted by the dead bodies of his parents as he woke up with his forehead covered with sweat.

What the hell?

Why did he see his parent's dead body after so many years?

"Are you okay?" Ziyi asked as she appeared out of nowhere making Marius flinch.

Ziyi was just looking at him, as her hand was clenched in a tight fist so tight that her knuckles were visible and she was holding a glass of water in her other hand as she kept it before Marius.

Marius looked at it and drank it, "I am fine."

Ziyi sighed as she looked around, "you cleaned the mess I made."

"Well, that's my job."

"I made you work extra."

"This of it as a payment for letting me stay."

Ziyi sighed, "Yibo is not calling and he still isn't back yet and I lost control before you, it's all his fault."

"Hey...it's alright."

"No, it's not!" Ziyi yelled again she looks like she was going to cry, "As if bothering Yibo was not enough already I am making trouble for others as well!"

"You are not making any trouble for-"

"Shut up you don't understand anything!" she started yelling again, "why are you even here you... you..you will get hurt you..."

Marius's patience was running thin because Ziyi was not listening to him and was not talking clearly as she was yelling and yelling getting more and more anxious.

However she was sure that Yibo was okay, wasn't it normal for someone to worry about your wife or husband and think that they got into an accident or something?

But here it seemed that Ziyi thought that Yibo was perfect when he was with Zhan but still Ziyi was not at all worried about Yibo's well-being.

So in the end Marius just sat on the chair and crossed his legs as he stared at Ziyi who looked at him and he smiled and replied, "continue."

Ziyi glared at him, "you! am I a clown or what? do you think that I putting a show for you?!"

Marius smiled, "that's exactly what you are doing? and I not saying that you should not say anything just keep on talking I am listening."

"No thanks, I have a husband who will listen to me!"

"Well, that's going to change soon."

"What the fuck did you say!"

Ziyi said however before anyone can say anything more a car's voice was heard outside.

~~~
When Yibo opened his eyes the next time he found himself sitting in a moving car in the passenger seat.

"Good morning," Zhan spoke with a smile, Yibo blinked at him and looked outside the rain had stopped and the car was working, how was the car okay? Yibo was not going to ask.

Yibo yawned and stretched a little before he said, "aww my neck hurts."

"Shall I massage it."

Yibo smiled, "Are you this caring towards everyone ?"

"No."

Yibo smiled again before he looked out and after some time they finally reached his house, Yibo finally got down from the car.

He looked at Zhan and gave him a smile, "thanks for the lift and I am never getting on in your car ever again."

Zhan laughed, "let's see how long that was going to last."

Yibo smiled before he turned around and left, Marous had left, he didn't even have to use the gate to get out, he just had to jump into the other house to get to his house, and thank god Ziyi didn't see that or he would be dead by now.

Zhan came inside the house as well, with a huge smile however the peace did not last long as they heard screams and yelling from the neighbor's house.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!" Ziyi yelled as she threw whatever came in her hand at Yibo, she was so mad and so enraged that she was breathing heavily.

Yibo dodged the items as he yelled, "will you calm down! there was rain and no signal how could I have come and contacted you!"

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" She said as she threw her shoe at him.

 "BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE TROUBLED SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE OF YOU I NEARLY, I NEARLY HURT ANOTHER PERSON THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED RIGHT? THIS IS YOUR PLAN, RIGHT? TO MAKE ME MORE MISERABLE! TO HURT ME! YOU WON'T LET ME DIE AND YOU WON'T LET ME LIVE PEACEFULLY AS WELL! BASTARD!" She said.

And Yibo seemed like he was hurt her words stabbed his heart like hot knives.

"Ziyi... please calm down..." Yibo said bit Ziyi was so mad that she grabbed the nearest vase and threw it at Yibo and this time he did not dodge and it smashed against his head which led to his head bleeding.

Zhan growled as he got up and was ready to rip Ziyi apart when he heard his mate's painful groan!

"I will kill her.!" he said as he walked with his blue eyes showing however Marius came before him, "Alpha you can't please!"

Zhan glared at him, "that bitch hurt my mate!"

Marous got angry as well when Zhan called his mate a bitch, "you can't call her like that alpha, I am your beta and she is my mate!"

"I don't care if she hurt my mate then-"

"Then I won't hold back either!

Zhan glared at him, "you dare to revolt against me? your alpha? you know that's equal to treason right?! you can be sentenced to death."

Marius raised an eyebrow, "Well if you kill my mate then that would be death for me as well so either way the result is death why should I be scared!"

Zhan glared at Marius if he wanted to kill Marius and even beat him then Marius won't be able to hit him back.

Since Zhan was his alpha like a king and you can't hit back a king.

"Out of my sight," Zhan said and Marius sighed before he left the house.

Meanwhile, Yibo was sitting on the ground holding his head, and seeing him bleeding Ziyi gasped as she covered her mouth and cried as she rushed to him and sat beside him, "I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry, I am so sorry, it's my fault, I am jinxed I should die, I am so bad... oh god what should I do.... Oh god..." she said as she cried badly.

Yibo grabbed her hand and gave her a small smile, "I am fine. Ziyi... it's alright."

Yibo then hugged her, and comforted her as he patted her back, "It's okay, I am sorry, I will never leave you alone like that in the future not unless you are healed. It was a mistake on my part."

Yibo said and it was true, he should have walked back home he should have not stopped whoever the greedy to spend time with Sean.

Zhan's smile, his talk, his company his charm seemed to have tied his hands and feet and made his mind shut down as he didn't want to leave Zhan's side.

He wanted to spend more time with him, listen to him talk more, and he himself wanted to open up to Zhan and answer all his questions and become an open book before him.

But he couldn't right now Yibo felt so overwhelmed, so tired that he wanted someone to hug him too so that he can break down as well.

 But no he can't he absolutely can't break as he had a responsibility to take care of.

He thought as he looked at Ziyi. He has to pay for his sins.
