"Calm down and call her," Cheng said and Zhan took deep breaths before he took out the phone.

And Cheng took it from him and called Mia, he put the phone on speaker and waited till Mia picked up, "got the results huh?"

Zhan sighed, "Yes."

And Cheng spoke, "Well Mia hello there."

"Oh, hello Cheng. Is he so freaked out that you have to support him?"

"Yeah well let's get to the point, why did it take you five months to come to him? Normally people like you would give birth behind his back."

Mia laughed on the other hand, "Of course, you and your lawyer brain, actually giving birth and then forcing Zhan to pay the life support for life was the initial plan."

"Then what made you change your mind?" Cheng asked as he looked at Zhan.

"Well, I have some complications and I cannot give birth or I will die so I want to abort the baby! My family are religious motherfuckers and think that abortion is a sin and yada yada hence I want Zhan to pay for it and come with me to the clinic to sign the documents."

Cheng and Zhan sighed visibly, and Zhan blinked he felt that a huge boulder that had crashed over his head was now lifted.

"Well, then that's great." Cheng said, "let's meet soon." he said.

"Will Zhan come or not?"

Cheng looked at Zhan and he nodded, "Yes he will."

"Good," Mia said and the call was disconnected.

"You should tell this to Yibo."

"I can't," Zhan said with terror

Cheng was about to bang his head against the wall, "why?"

"Yibo will be mad, I am just too scared god knows how will he react and what will he say! I can't I just can't face him."

"Oh god, you did not cheat on him, Zhan! go and talk to him."

"Yeah right I did not cheat on him and this child will get aborted anyways we can bury this matter no one will know!"

Cheng  face palmed, "Zhan."

"Cheng, you know when I saw Yibo and that chairman kiss that day I got so mad that I saw red and I did that reckless driving if I can get so mad at just an accidental kiss that meant nothing and do something like this.

Then what about Yibo? Have you forgotten what did he do? he stole the files and-"

"So you think that not talking at all is the magical solution?"

"I will to Yibo about everything just not this," Zhan said he was still scared, actually, abortion is something that his own parents are against and his own beliefs don't like the idea of killing an unborn child however this was an emergency and he was not ready to be a father anyway.

"What if Yibo finds out from someone else."

Zhan closed his eyes and groaned he was about to cry because of this mess, "Cheng I can't lose him please, I have done so many bad things to him please Cheng I can't tell this to I can't.

I am a coward I don't have that strength! Can you see me? If I am like this then how will I face him and his wrath?"

Cheng closed his eyes and sighed, "If you regret it later. Then you will have to deal with it yourself." he said and walked out.

Zhan at his place and thought about it, what should he do.

His heart was beating so fast that he might get an anxiety attack. But he forced himself to calm down.

Maybe he should tell Yibo... but for that he needs courage.

~~~~~~~~~

Yibo ran to the washroom and locked himself in.

He put his hand on the counter and stared at the mirror before the tears slipped from his eyes one after the other and he felt devastated.

Like his chest was ripped open, even though he had no expression on his face, tears kept on slipping once after the other like water in a stream.

Pregnant?

Who?

Five months?

Before his marriage?

And Zhan wants to keep the baby? Probably wants to get back with the woman?

All sorts of extreme thoughts came to his mind.

He doesn't want to think that Zhan cheated on him, Yibo knew that Zhan didn't.

But his heart still felt horrible.

If Zhan wants to keep the child then that would mean that the child's mother will also be involved.

Fuck Yibo nearly banged his head against the wall as all sorts of thoughts, all sorts of bad thoughts, and extreme scenarios came to his mind, extreme scenarios like Zhan leaving him, Like Yibo coming between a father and son.

So many bad thoughts and they just won't stop. 

Yibo washed his face with water and wiped his tears.

He needed alcohol, just for today, he has to forget every problem and every tragedy in his life just everything.

Today was his mother's day and he can't ruin it for her.

He will talk to Zhan but will Zhan even tell him?

It was not that Yibo decided that he will wait for Zhan to tell him but if Zhan does not tell him then he won't stay by Zhan's side anymore.

Yibo took a deep breath and received a call from his mother.

It was time to walk her to the altar.

Yibo cleaned his face and walked towards his mother's room, he knocked on the door and Ziyi opened the door to let him.

Once Yibo was in and saw his mother dressed in a beautiful white gown and a white veil.

He was happy that his eyes watered, May's hair was tied up in a messy bun and her make-up was light as well as she asked, "How do I look ?"

Yibo pressed his lips together as he got emotional he was very happy for his mother but at the same time he was sad because of his own broken marriage and the news that he got today, he went ahead and grabbed May's hand.

He pressed his lips and bit the insides of his cheeks controlling himself but in the end, two or three tears managed to slip and May got flustered, "Are you okay Yibo, did someone say something to you?"

Yibo shook his head, actually yes many people said many things to him his father wished bad luck in him, his best friend was not talking to him and his husband got another woman pregnant.

In this world, the only one who was truly his was his mother but now she was going to get married Yibo only hugged her tightly, "You look so, so, so pretty mom, like an angel from heaven, like the goddess of beauty, I am so scared what if someone abducts?"

Ziyi watched with a kind smile as her own eyes became red she had seen Yibo and his mother struggle so she knew how much this day means to Yibo.

May hugged her son tightly as well, "Oh my son.... thank you."

Yibo smiled and wiped his tears, "It's like I am sending my daughter away. Ooof you look so younger than me.I should have applied some make-up as well" he cracked a joke, Ziyi and May laughed, while he wiped his tears and extended his elbow.

May smiled and grabbed it.

"Let's go," he said and the mother and son walked out.

~~~~

No matter how broken anyone as everyone was there for the wedding.

Simon was behind William and so was Zhehan while Ziyi was the bridesmaid.

The vows were said and the priest soon announced them as the husband and wife, the newly wedded husband and wife also shared a beautiful in the presence of all the guests.

The crowd erupted in cheers and everyone was happy for May and William.

Yibo's father and none of his relatives came actually Yibo had already told the security guards not to let anyone enter even if anyone came, he didn't want any chaos.

So if anyone of his relatives had actually come they must have felt really humiliated.

The newly married couple walked back to the altar and everyone congratulated them.

Cheng was in the crowd as well and he was looking at Ziyi, who was wearing a light blue and she looked perfect as well.

A few seconds later Zhan stood beside him as well. 

Mrs. Nelson and the chairman had also attended the wedding.

And after the wedding, it was reception time and also for the food.

After the wedding Simon stayed back while Zhehan left, he had to go to his father and Simon only watched him, he was so ashamed and disturbed that he didn't know what to say to Zhehan.

While Yibo went to grab some alcohol when he was approached by the chairman, "congrats Yibo."

Yibo smiled at him, "Welcome chairman."

The chairman sighed and said, "I wanted to thank you for the other day and also apologize for my behavior."

Yibo poured himself a drink, "It's alright chairman you were drunk you are forgiven."

The chairman smiled, "Are you okay? You look pale."

Yibo laughed, "Oh I am healthy, wealthy, and perfectly fine."

The chairman nodded but he wasn't convinced, suddenly Yibo tried to take out his phone but couldn't find it he remembered that he kept it on the counter in the washroom, "Excuse me chairman I want to go and get my phone."

"Sure."

Yibo walked towards the washroom and while he was walking Zhan suddenly came to him, "Yibo I want to talk."

Yibo didn't stop he just kept walking inside the building the day was ending and the sun was setting as well so now it was getting dark and the decorative lights lit up.

"Yibo listen to me Yibo please..."

Yibo nearly ran to the washroom and went in and Zhan went in as well, he grabbed Yibo's hand but Yibo yanked his hand away and grabbed his phone, "Yibo."

"Not now Zhan, not today, Please."

"But Yibo... I want to talk it's urgent."

"Not at my mother's wedding."

Yibo said as he faced Zhan and Zhan was about to grab his hand but Yibo dodged it and went out and locked the door outside.

When Zhan tried to open the door from inside he wasn't able to open it, "Yibo, what nonsense is this opened the door Yibo!"

"That's your punishment remain locked in there," Yibo said and walked away.

While Zhan sighed and took out his phone however before he can turn it on the lights suddenly went off.

And Yibo actually received a call from the hospital regarding an urgent matter the call took nearly forty minutes and he completely forgot about Zhan.

However once the call ended and he came out, he saw that the lights were not working and he asked about it, so the waiter told him that it was a power cut off and the power back up was used for the fans and lights in the garden where everyone was seated hence the house will have no power back up.

Yibo suddenly thought about Zhan and then he saw a very nervous and scared Cheng running at full speed inside the house.

And then something flashed in Yibo's mind as well a distant memory, a memory where once in school Zhan was accidentally locked in the dark and small store room on the terrace and when the teachers found him he was rushed to the hospital where he was admitted for five days due to fever.

Yibo's face paled as he turned around and ran inside as well, that year Zhan was admitted due to fever.

Fever due to fear of dark places.
