Chapter 58 Ethan's pov
Alex and I slept in, unbelievable. I tried waking him twice and his lazy ass refused to leave the bed. He must have been exhausted, dealing with his family— thank goodness his Father was no longer frustrating him and forcing him to go on blind dates.So I just let him sleep in and beesides I haven't slept much in a while either.
I woke up again after like an hour. I layed beside him , and stared at his face admiring how pretty and handsome my man is. After about five minutes I woke him up by literally dragging him out of bed to the bathroom for him to take a shower and got him ready for the visit to the other cabin to make the video recording fom his uncle—after which he has to make a video coming out to the whole freaking world.
"I can't believe I'm about to do this" he announced for the tenth time while getting ready. He did look nervous. His hand shaking slightly.
"You can still change your mind, you know that right?"
"Yes I do. But I'm not changing my mind" 
I walked up to him adjust his tie and kissed him on the forehead. "Whatever decision you make, I'm here to support you. "
He pecked me on the lips, and whispered a "Thank you. I love you."
We used my office at the cabin so the background of his video looks more official, not like I would have cared where he used but Alex was concerned a bit about the background and what not. I don't know why he did though.
He set the phone on the table and turned on the camera I stood in front of the desk as I watch my man do what he pleases. I gave him a thumbs up before he started.
"Good day everyone." He started, "After the recent circulation of a private video, I want to speak openly and honestly about who I am. My name is Alexander Blackwood, heir to the Blackwood Empire, and I am a gay man who has loved deeply and sincerely." He paused and looked at me, I smiled encouraging him to go on.then continued. "The person in that video is someone I trust and care for, and our relationship, though never meant for public scrutiny, was real and consensual. While I regret the violation of my privacy, I will not regret my truth, and I choose to stand in it with dignity and pride. I would appreciate it if you all respect my decision and respect my privacy. Thank you." He ended the video and sighed in relieve.

" That was good. Come here" I opened my hands and he stood up and hugged me.
He was literally shaking."you are the bravest person on earth right now." I placed a kiss on his head and rubbed his back with one hand holding him steady with the other. 
"You did well. I am so proud of you. Are you ok?"
He raised his head, eyes meeting mine " Better than ok. Now we just need to deal with my..."
A sound in the living area cut him off. We both look towards the office door at the same time. "Are we expecting company? Shit! Aiden. My goodness I almost forgot." He asked himself and answered.

Stepping into the living room, a brightly dressed Aiden already sat. He was smiling looking at Noah dreamingly—who was saying something to him. They should just get married already. 

"Hello to you too, you both seemed busy so we helped ourselves in. We're not interrupting right? Hope you don't mind?" Aiden question I ., he stood up and walk past me to Alex who was standing a little behind me.
"No we don't " Alex responded as they both hug each other. 
"Honestly I don't care if you do" Aiden said chuckling.
They hugged for a few seconds untill Noah cleared his voice. Both Alex and Aiden started laughing and separated.
Fuck. I Love every version of him — most importantly—laughing,talking and being all happy, being himself. That's the only version of him that should even exist, except there's a thorn, called his uncle, who wants him to suffer. And lucky for the Uncle I will make him suffer even more than he wants Alex to suffer. 
Aiden whispered something to Alex, they continued laughing and talking for a while. I left them and moved closer to Noah.
"How is it going with him?" I asked nodding my head towards where Alex and Aiden where giggling like gossip girls, while looking at something on Alex's phone.
"He is a alot, but nothing I can't handle." His voice plain. Like there was know Emotions to It, but that's just how Noah is.
"Holy shmoly!" Aiden's voice drew our attention. 
He brought Alex's phone to me and shoved it in my face in a dramatic way. "We uploaded Alex's video on the internet and it's causing a lot of reactions."

I Collected the phone. I read through the comments and surprising ninty-eight percent of them where positive comments. Some made me Almost Jealous but not Jealous. comments like; 
~Oh my God, your so hot, I don't mind being gay for you. 
~ Hit me up when you're tired of me bodyguard.
And many more comments like that. I looked up at Alex to see him smiling broadly, showing all his white set of teeth. I smiled back at him. He deserves to be happy. He deserves all the happiness in the world, and I would go to any length to keep that happiness.
I wouldn't be bringing up the topic of his uncle anymore untill he wants to talk about it. Joe Blackwood doesn't deserve to be talked about.
"The comments were really really better than we thought." Aidens voice came through.
I handed the phone back to Aiden. Him and Alex left the living area , leaving me and Noah alone.
"Who's watching him?" I asked him. 
With a knowing understanding he replied.
"Rico and Martin."
"Nice match. I want Joe to look his best for tomorrow, get him new clothes too, only shirts, nothing else." I told him
"Roger that boss" He answered with a smirk.
"Calling me boss, but you literally still tell me what to do without a care in the world. " 
I don't think anyone would believe I was his boss. His presence in any room speaks a lot about about him, making people respect him even if they don't want to.
"Bullshit. You're obviously the boss. You're just using me so I have the right to Tell you what to do." Noah only speaks this much with only me, probably because we've know eachother for years.
"Boys, are you having a party without us." Aiden strolled out with Alex walking right behind him.
"Maybe." Noah responded before I could. 
"Get a room both of you." Alex said to Aiden and Noah. Only to come straight to me and sat on my laps.
Aiden gasped dramatically " oh my gosh, have you seen you too? " He walked to Noah's side and sat beside him.
For a moment, All the world fades away , leaving me , my best man and Theman after my heart. 
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I picked it up, it was from Logan. I briefed him on all the important details he missed including the part where I was his boss so now he officially works for me and not the other way round. 
I opened the message and read it. I re-read The last part of the message in utter shock.
