Chapter 37: Something Unsual

It was a strange morning for Daren because when he had just gotten home from filming, his bodyguard felt that someone was following them. That made the Omega worried that something bad might happen.

Having just returned to the mansion and entered his room, he was immediately greeted by the hug of a man he hadn’t heard from in almost a month.

"I’m sorry, Daren! I didn’t mean it this way, but I..." the man said as he hugged his best friend’s body.

Daren gasped in shock as Ivan was suddenly in his room and now hugging him.

"I-Ivan...?"

The Beta man released his embrace and grabbed both of Daren’s shoulders. "Sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore your messages and calls, Daren. But I’m too busy for that. You know your father’s company is always busy, right?"

"Yes, I know that."

He smiled that his friend could understand that. His eyes momentarily glanced at Axel who was behind Daren. The Alpha continued to stare at him with a sharp gaze, remembering the commotion that happened a month ago.

He then looked back at Daren and began to explain what the man had been curious about. Telling it from his point of view and continuing to apologize over and over again.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to let you out of my sight. I was too drunk to see that they did that to you! I immediately cut off our friendship with them when I found out about it!" Ivan said as he grabbed both of Daren’s hands.

"You did? You broke off your friendship with them?"

Ivan nodded his head. "Of course I did! They did something terrible to my best friend, you!"

"Ivan..." Daren was happy to hear that, he hadn’t expected Ivan to go that far.

His wait of almost a month had finally paid off because Ivan came and explained everything to him. It made him feel very happy, especially to be reunited with his best friend.

"I knew I could trust you, Ivan," he said as he hugged the Beta man.

"Yes, I couldn’t possibly have any bad intentions towards you. I wouldn’t let that happen, I know how you are, Daren." He rubbed his back.

Even so, Axel still looked at him with a suspicious gaze. He still couldn’t believe what Ivan was saying because he had seen for himself what the man was like on the night of the incident.

However, there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t say anything because the man didn’t want to cause trouble.

’Besides, even if I denied it, that Omega would still believe in this damn Beta. Especially after what he said earlier,’ he thought irritably.

Ivan and Daren finally chatted about some of the things that had passed between them. Ivan said that this month he had been busy preparing for the banquet that Marabella was going to hold. He was asked by Barney to organize some things and prepare the banquet properly.

"Banquet? Oh right, Marabella’s 35th birthday. That’s... Next week, right?"

"Yes, it’s next week. Because it’s very limited time and I’m very busy with it. It ends at night and I go straight to bed, you know my habits, right?"

The Omega nodded his head. He knew that Ivan was very quick to sleep, so it was no wonder that when he got home he would go straight to bed. Especially after a long day of work.

After explaining everything, Ivan excused himself to go home and rest. Daren had offered him to stay the night, but he declined.

"Then I’ll see you again. I’ll try to reply to your messages as usual," he said.

"Yeah, be careful on the road."

The brunette man then left Daren’s room. Daren could only sigh and finally went to the bathroom to shower and prepare for bed.

Meanwhile, Axel just sat where he usually sat.

’I won’t let him out of my sight.’

*****

Three days before the banquet, Daren wanted to buy a new suit to wear to his family’s company banquet. He and Axel went to a men’s clothing store in the shopping area. He was used to buying suits there which he thought were good.

At 9am, they traveled by car to the store.

On the way, everything was normal. Daren was busy eating the chocolate in his hand while Axel drove the car.

"Shouldn’t you eat too much chocolate? It makes you fat," Axel asked.

"I know, but I still exercise a lot, so it’s safe," he replied, glancing at the rearview mirror.

Every few minutes, Daren kept glancing at the rearview mirror until they reached the clothing store.

TING!

"Welcome," greeted a mustachioed man wearing a brown suit as he walked up to Daren.

"Oh! There’s Daren, come on in!" he continued, looking pleased to see the young man.

"Ahaha... Hello John, I’m here to buy a new suit for the banquet in three days," said Daren who was already very familiar with the man.

"Oh is this your important banquet?"

Daren chuckled, saying that it was the banquet for the company’s anniversary. Hearing that, John measured Daren’s body then showed him a collection of suits that fit the man’s size.

"You’re always the same size, there just happened to be a lot of suits coming in this week. You’ll definitely like them," the middle-aged man said.

While Daren was choosing the suit he wanted, Axel followed him from behind. He saw another customer who had just arrived, two men wearing jackets. They were looking at the clothes on display in the shop.

The Alpha finally returned his attention to Daren who was busy trying on the suit he wanted.

"Oh yeah, do you have any formal wear, like suits?" asked Daren as he turned to Axel.

"Huh? Do I have to wear a suit too?" the Alpha asked. He disliked clothes like shirts let alone suits that were cramped on his body.

That’s why he always wore black shirts and leather jackets.

"Of course you have to wear it! You’re also going to come with me into the party, right? There’s no way you’re going in dressed like this!" Daren sighed and turned to John to measure the suit for Axel to wear.

John nodded and took the Alpha’s measurements.

While they were all busy, the two men in the previous jackets slowly approached Daren. They looked like they were picking through the suits, but their distance from Daren was getting closer.

John finally noticed the two men and asked, "Excuse me, what are you looking for? If you’re looking for something, let me measure you first."

"Oh no, the clothes we’re looking for aren’t there. Let’s go," one of them replied and left the store.

Axel’s eyes continued to follow the movements of the two men with a suspicious gaze.

’What do they want?’
