《Keeping The Balance》Chapter Fourteen - The CEO Reborn Step Brother - Task World One (End)
Advertisement
It has been a few months since Hol was stabbed by Caleb, whose location was still unknown. Hol gave the okay for Starie to expose all the crimes that Racheal's father did for his company because he still was not over her wanting to force herself onto his lover. And Racheal's mother divorce him as well which added to the amount of money he had to give away.
Racheal wasn't doing much better since somehow a video of her meeting with Caleb was posted online and now she was trying to work out a deal so that she won't grow old in prison. Hol felt pretty pleased when that situation was handled and didn't bother to focus on her anymore.
Hol and Terrance's relationship grew even more closer during the months together that one day Terrance decided to build them a house to live in together since he couldn't take being away from him for any longer than he had to be.
During a day when they were home together, Terrance said something to Hol that nearly made him choke on his spit. "I want us to get married."
Hol was in a coughing fit for a while and Terrance had to rub his back as he wanted for the coughing to stop. Hol had tears in his eyes as he looked at the serious Terrance. Hol could feel his heart beating fast and his face growing hot.
"B-But isn't your company passed on through family... If you can't tell I am very much a man so it may not go well with your family..." Hol felt like Terrance's family may disown them if they heard they were getting married. He wouldn't want to force that onto him.
"I can just find someone in my company who has the right skills to run the family or we could adopt a child and have them take the company for me." Terrance was grabbing both of Hol's hands and got to their knees.
Hol was thinking of countless things that could get in the way of them getting married but he realized that he didn't care that much about it. He wasn't going to live for a long time so he should just go for it.
"...When do you want to get married?" Hol held Terrance's hands tightly as he looked at them seriously, too embarrassed to look at Terrance directly. Hol let out a noise of surprise when Terrance quickly pulled him into a hug that brought him to his knees as well.
"Let's get married now and travel the whole world together!" Terrance was rubbing his face into Hol neck and Hol tried not to shiver at how good it made them feel. As much as Hol was happy Terrance wanted to get married now he couldn't just agree with it. they have to plan it out.
"Now, that is going too fast for us. Also, we can't just travel the world either. We have jobs that we are the boss of. It wouldn't be responsible and you know that." Hol had to push Terrance away a bit so that he could talk seriously to them.
"Oh, don't worry about planning for our wedding. I had one plan for a few months. Also, we can just take off work for maybe two years at least. Don't you want to see the whole world with me?" Terrance was giving Hol a look with his eyes that was causing them not to think straight at the moment. Hol wanted to stand firm with what he just said but gave up rather quickly.

"...Can we at least do it next week and give everyone a heads up?" Hol hugged tightly once again after he said that and he could only let out a sign as he hugged Terrance with a pleased smile on his face.
Seeing as Terrance wanted to travel right away after they got married, Hol had to figure out what he could do with his flower shop. He realized that Carol would have to be a stand-in boss for him. He should probably also increase how much everyone is getting paid as a way to say sorry for going off and leaving work.
Hol had to make invitations to a bunch of people for the wedding since he knew that Terrance may forget if it was left to them. He left the food for the wedding to Terrance but checked up on him sometimes to make sure they weren't just getting stuff that they enjoy eating.
Hol had to have both him and Terrance's size so that it could be used for the clothes they were going to wear for the wedding. Hol wanted a simple white and formal looking suit while Terrance wanted to wear a white suit that had a long see-through cape and had a veil attached to it.
After a long week of planning and a single stressful day where Terrance took Hol to meet with his parents to tell them that they were getting married so that means the company would either have to be passed on to a worker in the company or a child, they will adopt. Hol was surprised that Terrance's parents were pretty fine with them getting married and look forward to seeing the child they will adopt.
On the day of the wedding, Hol felt super nervous as he waited for Terrance to walk down the aisle and kept looking towards his mother who was giving him a thumbs up with a huge smile on her face. She had a free hand on Hol father's back as he kept rubbing at his face with tissues.
Hol took his eyes off his parents when he saw the door to the room open and Terrance came through the said door holding flowers in their hands. Terrance walked down the row and Hol was getting even more nervous as Terrance got closer to him.
When Terrance was finally in front of him Hol gave them a smile that was returned with a smile as well. The wedding went by rather quickly since Terrance wanted to get married to Hol right away. After they were married in front of everyone, Hol and Terrance left the place they got married in and went back to their home.
"Is it okay for the main people to just leave the wedding before everyone else?" Hol was packing away his clothes as he questioned Terrance who was still in the suit for their wedding. Hol felt like they could have stayed a bit longer but Terrance does do whatever he wants.
"I wanted to get ready for tomorrow because we are leaving to travel the world obviously! I don't know where we will go first... How about we just buy a random ticket and just go there first. Since we only have two years we can't go everywhere so just go wherever our guts tell us!" Terrance looked excited as he happily dumped all his clothes in his suitcase. Hol knew he would have to fold them when Terrance was asleep so it would make things easier for them.
"I'm not going to ask if you got tickets because I already know the answer. I will buy a ticket with a time that is good for us." Hol made sure to make a note to himself as he continued to pack away his clothes in his suitcase.

Hol was almost done with packing his stuff but stopped when he felt a hand on his waist that was slowly reaching for his crotch. Hol froze briefly but continued to pack up his thing, pretending that nothing was happening to him.
"What is it, Terrance? I need to finish packing and then buy some tickets for us." Hol was trying so hard not to get weak knees as Terrance started to kiss at his neck. Terrance just let out a small noise of acknowledgment as he slowly starts to unbutton Hol suit.
Hol decided then that he could finish packing tomorrow and buy some tickets tomorrow as well. Hol didn't mind when Terrance started to push him towards the bed and straddle his hips once he was on the bed. Hol couldn't take his eyes off of Terrance as he slowly took off his clothes with a smirk on their face. Hol doesn't regret staying here for a bit longer with Terrance...
Years went by as Hol stayed in this world with Terrance. During the two years where they travel the world together, they adopted two children from different places. One was a girl named Glende Cox-Wallace who they adopted from Greece and a boy named Alton Cox-Wallace who they adopted from Spain.
Hol life was pretty nice as he spent most of his time with his family and working on expanding Karson flower shop so it could reach more places in the world. Terrance wanted to combine his company with the flower shop but Hol didn't want to add too much work onto his flower shop.
Over the years the System would sometimes tell him about Caleb's situation which didn't seem all that good at all. He was working many jobs and living in a rather shitty place. He was in a bad relationship with a woman who is just using him for money and not allowing him to break up with her.
Hol wanted to feel bad for him but he couldn't since Caleb wanted to mess up Terrance's life just for greed so what was happening to him was karma. Caleb isn't dead in this life so it isn't that bad as his last life.
Terrance was still his clingy self and didn't hold back with showing Hol how much he loved him and wanted him. Hol enjoyed it but often got rather embarrassed by him being so affectionate with him.
Hol wanted this life of his to keep on going but he knew it couldn't last forever. He wasn't surprised that when he was getting closer to being 60 that he got sick. He wasn't working at his flower shop anymore, giving full control of it to his son.
Terrance was upset when he learned that Hol was sick and slowly dying from it as well. He wanted to use his money to find doctors who could help Hol get better but was stopped by them. Hol knew it would be wasting their money if they had doctors try to cure him.
Seeing as Hol wasn't going to allow Terrance to find doctors to help him, Terrance decided to give control of the company to his daughter and take care of Hol until they finally pass away. As Terrance was taking care of Hol he took up lessons in making tattoos for reasons Hol couldn't understand.
One day as Hol was laying in bed reading a book, Terrance came inside of the room holding his supplies for tattooing. Terrance didn't say anything as he took a seat beside Hol and grabbed his left arm.
"What are you doing?" Hol gave Terrance a confused look as they got ready to ink Hol skin. Terrance didn't say anything as he simply put a red line around his wrist. Hol got even more confused when Terrance gave him the needle and held out his wrist to him as well.
"Have you ever heard about the red thread of fate? Two people who are connected by the red thread are destined lovers regardless of the place, time, or circumstances. So even if you leave me first, maybe one day we can meet each other again..." Terrance gave him a sad smile as they continue to hold their wrist in front of them.
Hol didn't know what to tell him. He didn't think they would meet each other again once he left this world but... He wanted to have a little hope that maybe it could happen. Not saying a word, Hol just made a red line around Terrance's wrist as well and held them close once he was done.
When it was time for Hol to finally leave the world he didn't want to see Terrance but it seems like he didn't have a choice in this. Terrance held onto his left hand as they looked at Hol before he finally left.
"Don't do anything stupid when I leave... We still have children so don't leave them without a parent. Love you..." Hol closed his eyes and when he opened them again he was floating over Karson's dead body. Hol got close to Terrance for a second just to kiss them on the cheek before quickly leaving. He didn't want to see how Terrance would react to him leaving.
Hol was back in the dark space he was in before and he was just sitting on what he assumed was the floor with a depressed look on his face. Hol felt so lonely without Terrance at his side. He didn't like how this was causing his heart to feel so much pain.
"" Starie was floating next to him with a sad look in their eyes. Hol knew if he agrees to do that this feeling would last even longer so he forces himself to push down the feeling he was experiencing and stand up.
"...I'm fine. Can you tell me how much points I earn from this world?" Hol needed to know how well he did in this world. It better have been good so this pain in his chest wasn't for nothing at all.
"" At what Starie said Hol gave them a suspicious look that was only answered with a smile.
Seeing as Starie wouldn't say something like that unless it would be helpful to him, Hol decided to put two points into his luck. He wasn't liking the fact he had to increase his luck for the next world but he couldn't choose the place he was going to either.
"" Starie wasn't helping Hol with not getting nervous about what the next world was like. Is it dangerous or something?! Can't they just tell him?!
"" Starie asked Hol this and he could only nod his head because he was still caught up in figuring out what the next world could be like. After getting a nod from Hol, Starie went to almost dying light in the dark space and touched it. Hol felt his consciousness slipping away after Starie did that and he passed out.
As Hol went to the next world, in the same space area from before with the man in the glass coffin, Starie appeared next to the coffin with an expressionless look. Starie change from the small like form they were into a bigger but still child-like appearance.
"Don't worry... I will figure out a way to make us be together again soon... I just need to get more powerful and I will fix everything. So for now you guys have to do these tasks for me. I am sorry about this." Starie touches the pale man's face for a few seconds with a lonely look appearing in their eyes but it disappears quickly.
Starie raises their hand above the unconscious man and a weak light appears out of him. Starie then sent the weak light to the place that Hol went to as well. "For this plan to work I need both of you to get stronger... I don't want to lose you again."
After doing that Starie also went to the world that Hol was sent to, changing back into their small like form once more and getting back on their cheerful appearance.
Author Note - The first world is done~ Now it is onto the second one. I wonder if I should tell you guys what the second world is or do you have an idea what it could be? Well, this is for the next update! Well, I do hope this chapter was enjoyable and that everyone is healthy and safe. Bye-bye for now and I hope to see you again (*●⁰ꈊ⁰●)ノ~☆
