“Chandler, this is my son Cloud.” Adelio said as he lowered his pouty lips to kiss Cloud’s forehead but Cloud pressed his fist on his lips angrily.
“A son?” Chandler looks at Adelio and then at Cloud.
Adelio stands properly rubbing his lips.
“Yeah. But right now he is just some child who is insisting I am his father. We still need dna test.”
Cloud blushes.
“What is really happening?” Chandler feels like Adelio is considering this issue as light hearted.
Adelio smiles.
“I’ll tell you later.”
Adelio went to the head maid. He wanted to clean a room near Chandler’s original room.
While he is busy instructing them.
Chandler and Cloud have time to be alone.
“You…like him?” Cloud asks, feeling weird.
“Hm?” Chandler doesn’t know how to say it. His relationship with Adelio is purely physical.
“He said he will take care of me.”
Cloud looks down.
‘Was it because of what I did?’
He never considered what he was doing was wrong before. He gives Chandler support and uses him at the same time. But so what? He is his employee and he is paying him to do it. But many people said that if not for him, Chandler’s life would be way different.
“They will arrange your room. You know where to find me if you need something else.”
Adelio said as he slipped one his hand to touch Chandler’s side and then put his chin over Chandler’s shoulder as he looked at Cloud.
Cloud snorts.
“I want a new phone and computer.. I need to spend money too. Give me a card. I need a dedicated driver and will use a car of my own choice.”
Chandler was shocked.
‘This kid is more demanding than a sugar baby.’
“How much do you want for your spending money?” Adelio asks.
“50 Million is alright.”
“Okay. I’ll tell Damon to transfer money to you.Is that all?”Adelio nods. The money was Adelio’s hard earned money. It doesn’t matter to him giving him back some of it.
“For now.” Cloud nods, satisfied.
He had guessed it but Adelio had no greed. He did hold back half his property but it was understandable. Given this opportunity to others, he would probably have died by now already.
But that is also a problem.
He felt unease to let someone who has no greed handling his company. But he was helpless right now. Nobody will believe him. And if he insists, he might even get accused of being crazy.
He’ll just use some money to venture some business opportunity for assurance.
“Okay, let’s have dinner. Our first family dinner!” Adelio smiles.
Cloud flinched.
The word family is so foreign to him.
“I’ll sleep first. I’m not hungry.”
But Adelio pulls him, not caring even if he refuses.
“Come on,come on.”
“You are so pushy!” Cloud angrily shouted.
Chandler follows them but his head is confused.
’50million? Just like that? Is this child some sort of Undercover boss?’
.
.

After a stressful dinner for Cloud, he finally lies down in his new room.
Aside from the 3rd floor master’s room,It’s the second best room in his mansion. Now it wasn’t even his anymore.
He covered his face over the pillow and started crying.
He is crying because he has been tense the whole time. He thought he would never survive. The helplessness he felt when he woke up in an unknown place. Being abused and hit by a crazy man. Escaping and walking alone in the dark.
He was very scared he would die again in a place where nobody would be able to find him.
He walks to his company just to see a glimpse of it.
He doesn’t know who will get his company after his death. But when he heard a few employees talking about how the boss changes for the better or something like that. He knows that something is wrong.
He needs to see this new boss.
But a dirty young boy like him can’t do anything. And the security inside his company is tight.
So he had an absurd idea.
He said he is the boss’s child.
Ofcourse it won’t be easy but the ‘boss’ ask to see him.
His heart was pounding.
He is scared.
Who is this boss?
Would he let me return?
Would he give a helping hand?
He was worried but he pretended to be tough and confident.
Then he saw that guy.
He just cried and let go of his anger and frustration. For some reason, he believes everything that guy said. And he was comforted.
Knock* knock*
He wipes his tears away and sits properly.
The blanket covering his legs.
“Have you been crying?”
Adelio gasps.
He is wearing pajamas and it’s obvious that he just got out of the shower.
Cloud clicks his tongue. This is now how he recalls how he looks. He had always been someone with good posture and respectable aura.
While this guy just does what he wants.
“I made a mistake and put shampoo on my eyes.”
“Pfft you are so awkward. Is that better than crying?”
Adelio laughed as he sat beside the bed.
“What do you want?” Cloud blushes angrily.
“We have to talk right? We need to know each other.”
“There’s no need. You are in my body and I am in an unfortunate child’s body. That’s all we have to know.”
“Hm..Okay. Me first. I can’t really remember much about my origin.”
“Oy!” He angrily said but Adelio continued.
“I read this Boy’s Love novel about a young actor that you bullied yet you never win against.” Adelio looks at him with a grin.
Cloud felt ashamed.
“I understand. Shut up already.”
“Anyway, when I wake up. I am in this body. I realize that I have to change. I don’t care about the main protag and his love interest. When I met Chandler, I remembered how you use him and felt I needed to help him this time around so I did.”
“By keeping him?” He snorted.
“Well, it just happened.” Adelio pouts.
“Whatever. I don’t mind helping him. At the very least, he followed everything I told him until the end.”
“You are so cruel to him. You know his genre is different from that main protag but you insist on making him copy him. Why are you so obsessed with him? Are you really inlove with him?”
Cloud looks at him with disgust.
“I’m not gay like you.”
“Hey. Hey. Do you have prejudice?”
“Not really. It’s in my favor that you are gay. When you die, half of your property will still be inherited by me.”
“Well, in that case. HahahhHa.” He laughs.
“So why? Is the main protagonist worth your effort? If not for you trying to put him down, he wouldn’t be so successful. You are like aiding him maliciously.”
“I can see that now. Back then, I just see him as an eye sore so I wanted to trample him.”
“No.no. that’s too much just for an eye sore.”
Cloud sighs.
“Do you know my father?”
“Not really. He is barely mentioned in the story.”
“Well, this novel of yours really hates me then.”
“What? Is he actually your half sibling?”
“No.” Cloud rolls his eyes.
“My father ignores me and my mother but my mother is obsessed with my father. My mother was a rich only child heiress and father is just a company director. Mom was in love with him and father used her to become the boss.
But my father had a girlfriend at that time.
She breaks up with father after knowing that he married my mother.”
“Your father is cold.”
“He was.” Cloud continued. “He makes sure to impregnate my mother to give my grandfather a successor. But he never cared about mom or me. He makes sure he gets the company’s board members’ trust and grandfather. He became a CEO. When he finally achieved what he wanted. He looks for his ex-girlfriend to rekindle their love but she has already married to someone else. Strangely, her husband died in an accident soon after.”
“Fuck! Did your father kill him?”
“No. But he enjoyed it.”
“Oohhhh fuck. Your family drama is thick!”
“He always goes to her as a support. He spends time with her like he is her husband. She was pregnant and he acted as he would be the father of that child. My mom watches this happen without raising a fuss. She is just happy that he still went back home. She will try to care more for him. Ask him what is happening. Be kind to him but dad sees her as a distraction. A reason why he is not his ex lover’s husband and why he is miserable.”
“Is your dad still alive? If he is, I’ll punch him in the gut!”
Cloud sighs.
“They are dead. Mom killed dad that night.
When Dad asks for a divorce. She lost her mind and killed dad. Then he wanted to kill me. So all three of us can join in heaven again as a family. But I ran away. When I returned, there were a lot of people. Mom killed herself. Grandfather paid a lot to make it seem the two were killed by robbers. I will never speak it to anyone else again.”
“….So the main protag is….your father’s ex girlfriend’s husban-“
“Her son. I told you, he died.”
“But it’s more dramatic if he is the dad.”
“And how old is he by now then?”
“Oh…right. But hey, the child is not at fault.”
“So what?”
“You know, this is why you are the antagonist.”
“I suffered too. Why is he the only pitiful one?”
“Probably because he is innocent.”
Adelio lies down on top of Cloud’s leg.
“Let’s live honestly from now on,Cloud. Heaven hasn’t let you down yet. Maybe this rebirth was given by your parents to pay for the wrong things they have done to you.Living is good Cloud.”
“I don’t plan to seek death anyways. And get away. You are heavy!”
