Adrian Nielsen

I just finished launching a new product with Estelle. Leah is currently in Denmark with Aria and I miss her already. I stood in front of the glass display looking at me new product which is Estelle Smart Home gadgets.

"Mr. Nielsen." I turned to Andreas Aldric who is my new business partner.

"Mr. Aldric." I smiled.

"Sorry, I'm late. There's a storm in Spain and we had to delay the flight."

"It's okay." I said and I showed him around. I introduced him to our new product and he said that he can't wait for our partnership in the future. He decided to look around again.

"Mr. Nielsen, it's time for you to make your speech." My secretary said and I nodded. She led me to the stage and I grabbed a glass of champagne with me. I grabbed everyone's attention by tapping on my glass.

"Good evening everyone, thank you for coming to Estelle's launching party. It's been-" When I saw him, I could feel my whole body froze and slowly going numb. Am I seeing things or.. am I halucinating?

It's Dean.

"It's been great to be working on this new products and sharing it with you guys. We hope that you like and love Estelle Smart Home. Cheers!" I said and everyone cheered. I quickly got down from the stage and walked towards the spot where I saw Dean.

I stopped to see if he's real and then he opened his arms widely. I hugged him and Dean chuckled.

"Miss you, buddy!"

"I swear it felt like I'm dreaming." I said as I hugged him tighter.

"It's been a while huh?"

"It's been a long time! Are you kidding me?" I pulled away.

"A year, Adrian. I've gone a year." He said and I shook my head.

"Felt like a decade. So.. you're back for good?"

"Yeah, why? You don't want me to comeback?" He smirked.

"I've been waiting for it."

"Good and also.. we need a little change and spice some things up." He said snd I raised my eyebrows.

"What? What do you mean?" I looked at him confused.

"Go up to the stage and tell everyone that you're an ILLICIT member." He said and I looked at him disbelief.

"Dean, I don't think that's a good idea."

"We need to change our system from now on. Just do it, Adrian." I was hesitating at first but I trust him so I walked back to the stage grabbing everyone's attention by tapping the mic.

"I'm here to announce.." I looked straight at Dean. "I'm here to announce that I, Adrian Nielsen, is a part of or a member of ILLICIT." As soon as I finish my sentence, everyone went crazy. Everyone started to ask questions and demanding me to tell everything.

I went out from the room and I saw Dean walking towards me.

"Dean! You can't just come and.. make me do that." I hissed and he chuckled.

"I'll go by Declan now." I said and he left me speechless.

"Make sure you don't contact the rest and I will text you all to meet up later." He smiled.

"Good night, Adrian." He said as he took a step back.

"But.. you're back for good right? You're not going to leave us again right?" I asked.

"How could I leave you guys again? I'll see you later." He said and turned around. My phone suddenly rang like crazy and I decided to turn it off.

What is that crazy man planning?

Angelo Vander

I was just finish wrapping up my meeting and it's been a long day. I decided to grab a coffee downstairs at the lobby instead of asking my secretary to do so. I really need a vacation, I need to bring Dakota to have a healing time.

I walked into the coffee shop and looked at the menu.

"Can I get a caramel macchiato with extra caramel sauce?" I told the cashier as I looked at the dessert menu.

"Can you get me an iced latter?" I turned my head to see Dean standing beside me and my eyes widen. I looked at him from head to toe and poked his arm with my index finger.

"What the fuck?!" I literally bursted out in shock. I grabbed him out from the coffee shop and hugged him.

"What the hell!" I said as I hugged him tighter.

"Miss you and your stupid shit, Vander." He chuckled and I pulled away.

"You're back!"

"I'm back." He said and I hugged him again.

"This is awesome! How are you?" I said as I pulled away and pinched his cheeks.

"I'm great."

"I'm glad and so happy to see you again. You don't even know.. so are you back for real? Or.. you're just here for a vacation?" I asked looking at him straight into his eyes.

"I'm here for good." He said and I hugged him again.

"That's enough hugging, get your ass and by me my iced latte!" He pushed me and I nodded.

"Wait here!" I said and I walked back to the coffee shop ordering myself and him a drink. I turned to him every second to make sure that he's not goong anywhere.

He waved at me everytime I turn to him. I even asked the barista to make it quick. I grabbed our drinks and walked out giving him his drink.

"Thanks."

"Dean, when did you come back?"

"About two weeks ago, we had to settle down in your new home." He said and I nodded as I took a sip of my caramel macchiato.

"I'll go by Declan now." I looked at him completely shock.

"As in.. Declan Serano?"

"Yeah."

"That's awesome!"

"I want you do to something for me, Vander." I raised my eyebrows.

"What? What is it?"

"Announce yourself that you're one of the members of ILLICIT." He said and I looked at him like he grew two heads.

"I have to what?"

"You heard me, I know you have good ears. I've examined it before.." He said as he touched my ears.

"Just do it, Vander. Don't contact the others until I contact you to meet up." He smiled.

"But.."

"Do it or I'll kick your ass later.." He said as he took a step back.

"See you later, Vander."
