Summary
Edamura Makoto wants to do nothing more than use some of his well-earned con money to go on a lavish coffee adventure around the world, free of his criminal struggles from over the past few years, before settling down somewhere nice and quiet. Especially keeping away from a tenacious blonde bastard.
But during a visit to a charming coffee shop in the outskirts of Taipei, Taiwan, he meets a rather captivating woman standing next door, tears rolling down her cheeks as she watches a cruel man take away her family's workplace and the entire neighborhood's as well to build a new factory for bubble tea distribution... or so he says. Edamura said he wouldn't go back to the con life, but what harm would it do to help out such a kind woman and her adoptive parents? But there's a nagging feeling in the back of his head that won't go away the more he learns about her and her troubling past. It doesn't help that he feels like he's seen the shiny ring glinting brightly on her finger before...

Summary
“It's been a long time since I've heard from you. Or heard about you. I was starting to think…Well, I was starting to think the worst.” Makoto confessed, locking eyes with the blond.
Laurent hummed, smiling to himself a bit and giving Makoto a glimpse of it, something true, “I have to confess, Edamame, I was under the impression you wanted nothing to do with me.”
“Well…” Makoto laughed quietly, “You wouldn't be entirely wrong, I guess…”

Or how Laurent Thierry wins back the same heart he broke, and how he learns to be sorry, true, and in love.

Summary
“No,” Edamura said, when he saw Laurent leaning against an ornate pillar in the lobby of his hotel.
Laurent simply grinned and waited for Edamura to stalk past the elevator bank and reception desk to join him.
Technically, he merely strode by Laurent, refusing to look him in the eyes, but he slowed his irritation-charged pace and glanced back, just the slightest bit, when Laurent didn’t immediately fall into step beside him.
He looked good, Laurent thought.
***
Laurent had developed many skills over the years. With languages, in the bedroom, or even something as simple as convincing other people that his decisions were ones they'd made on their own. He had a good life. A full one, with everything a man could need. A wallet bulging with his marks' money, more stamps in his passport than he'd ever thought possible, and a string of potential lovers he could pick through at will, if he wanted.
That, you see, was the flaw in all of his perfect plans. There was only one thing that Laurent truly wanted. One person, who hated his guts.
The other problem was even more difficult to unravel. Laurent was exceptional at everything, except this: telling anyone, especially himself, the truth.

Summary
“You told me to do what felt right, and if I did I would see a path open up for myself.”
Laurent nodded, “I remember.”
“Well, I don’t feel right. This case didn’t feel right.” He scoffed, “The only path that’s been opened for me has been trampled in.”

Alpha Laurent Thierry has the perfect idea to find Seiji Ozaki- Marry his son and wait for the bastard to show up.
Omega Activist Makoto is no fool, he suspects his darling husband to be up to no good and he knows just the way to get back at him.
___________________
Laurent felt anger bubble in his chest. "I'm not fucking cheating on you! Get that out of your head! I work so hard to give my husband and my child a good lavish life and all I'm getting is absolute crap for it! You deny me sex, you accuse me of cheating, you favour him over me! I AM YOUR ALPHA! Can't you at least show the slightest bit of respect for me? Don't you see how disrespectful it is giving all your attention to another Alpha?"

Summary
“Aren’t you going to go too?”
Ozaki sits at the foot of his wife’s grave, a hand absentmindedly tracing circles in the dirt. There’s a soft smile on his face and from Makoto’s spot a small distance away, he occasionally hears faint laughter. He supposes they have a lot to talk about.
“I’ll give him some privacy,” he says to Laurent. “I’m waiting my turn.”
(or: Makoto internally reminices about his mother and Laurent is there to provide commentary)
