Sorry for the wait. All stories will be uploaded once a week now. Thank you for being patient with me.
It seems like the Gods were on their side this morning because Luke stopped by the bakery before it even opened and informed Alec that Camille was spotted getting off the plane the previous night and is stopping by the bakery to try and ruin Alec's grand opening by causing a scene.
She doesn't like that Alec and Magnus are in the same state let alone their businesses are right next to each other. No, she couldn't have that according to the text messages she sent one of her spies that was caught driving drunk trying to tail them yesterday while they had their many photoshoots.
Luke informed them that with the kind of phone She used to send messages back and forth to her many followers they were able to triangulate her location along with hack into her phone remotely and got all the plans and schemes her and her father have done over the years.
For them being con artists, they sure were dumb. You aren't supposed to keep the phone you did business with for years. No, you're supposed to get rid of it and get a shit ton of burner phones so you could just trash them when someone called. Idiots. But that's what happens when people drop out of high school and don't further their education or better yet, watch tv shows about con artists (leverage) I mean they basically tell and tell you how to do everything.
Luke was excited, Alec could tell by the huge grin plastered on his face. Alec hopped the planned goes off without a hitch because Luke has been working on this case for years it would seem with his boyfriend and with his coming back, things could finally go into place and they could be free of the she-devil and Magnus could live his life the way he wants it to. Participate in competitions held by his own shows and become the next Iron Chef of America like he deserves. Yes, this plan needs to go smoothly.
"We have all of their contacts and were working on getting warrants for their arrests right now. We are taking them all down." Luke said sternly. "They've gotten away with too much by ruining peoples lives. We have enough to put them away for the rest of their lives. Plus the kicker is that we arrested Andre while he was trying to pull a heist in Boston with one of our undercovers. We had to keep it quiet so Camille wouldn't suspect anything wrong and hop on the next flight out of town." Luke finished by biting into his lemon poppyseed muffin, moaning at the texture and way it melted into his mouth.
Alec and co laughed as they began setting up the bakery around Luke as he ate his breakfast in peace. Pulling the papers from the windows and sign showing the bakery's name in IMPACT font "Lightwood's Bakery" in maroon the same color as the uniform and tables. Raj's was their taking pictures of and sampling the pastries like always. Gods, it was like having another Simon or Jace around.
Magnus showed up an hour later just as the crew was placing the pastries inside the display cases. It looked amazing and made his mouth water by looking at all the different types of cookies, puff pastries, cupcakes, cakes, etcetera. Magnus could how much Alec was taught in France just by looking at the different types of the yummy goodness. Magnus wanted to try everything and he damn sure was going to make sure he gets boxes to go before he goes home later that day.
"Hey baby, how did you sleep? Sorry for leaving this morning, but as you can tell we have a lot of work to do." Alec says greeting Magnus with a chaste kiss. Magnus whined and pulled Alec in for another kiss before letting him get back to work. Raj took loads of pictures of them kissing so they could post it on their social media accounts. The ones they posted last night went freaking viral because of all of Alec's loyal followers along with Magnus coming out to the world by putting his TV shows in his bio. Making all the food lovers go nuts, even a few of his regulars that came to his cafe every day were sending him tons of messages asking him to explain.
Magnus smiled and said a magazine would be out later this week for them to read all about him and his many jobs behind the scenes. Then making sure to tell them the stores they could purchase them if they wanted to. "Newsstand or at Jimon's Coffee Shop."
Magnus waved his hand dismissing Alec's apology because it wasn't needed. "None of that dear, I knew you had a busy day ahead of you, I would never hold it against you. Now put me to work so I can help you get things done before you open the doors."
Maia chuckled and pulled him into the back to wash his hands along with Luke who protested the entire time. Maia wasn't having any of it. "You want to eat, you work! That's how things are, so get your ass in the kitchen and help us put everything in the display case. Its a lot so let's get started."
Alec rolled his eyes at his best friend but stealing a kiss from Magnus before getting back to work.
While they worked Luke filled everyone in on the news of Camille and Andre. Maia, Lydia, and Raj each let out a "Thank fuck for that" making the trio (Alec, Luke, and Magnus) stare at them like they were crazy. Lydia was the first one to break, not caring about hurting anyone's feels.
"Look I love you both but this bitch needs to die quickly so you two can get married and have babies without a ginormous pain in the ass bothering you all the time. I for one would like to see the two of you take over the food industry side by side single-handedly and watch all of your haters fall at your feet and kiss your asses so they could get back on top." The last sentence she made sure to stare Alec in the eyes daring him to say otherwise. Maia, Jordan, and Raj were all nodding and Magnus felt left out because he didn't know the "Tea" and he wanted a sip. So he asked. Duh!
"What are you all talking about and why am I the last to know about it?" He asked looking at the four of them with a confused expression. Alec sighed walking back into the kitchen to grab another batch of donuts for the display case before answering his adorably confused boyfriend.
"They're talking about my ex Sebastian. Basically, he just dated me so he could get closer to my uncles to jump-start his career as a pastry chef before I got the chance. So he stole my spot working under my uncle Gabriel the first chance he got and after Gabriel sent him to Rome to further his talents he told m that I would never make it as a chef in Paris, and I would never get anywhere. Then when he went on "Ultimate Cake Wars" in Paris and won h blasted me on social media trying to destroy my reputation and confidence so I wouldn't get the recognition I deserve, but what he didn't know was that he was actually helping my career by dropping my name in every interview and magazine.
So when he found out I was becoming a bigger star than he has and to prove it to the world he has challenged me in "Ultimate Cake Wars" here in America to see if he could beat me and take everything I earned away from me. The network loved the drama so of course, they set it up and made sure that it would be a live show so everyone could see and hear what goes on behind the cameras. I have to fly to LA to shoot a few BTS for the interview then they will come and film the bakery and get some interviews from my customers you know how the food network is you practically own it. My uncles are both "Executive Chefs and Pastry Chefs" and Sebastian was doing so much and giving them a bad rep making them drop him from their program and not associating with him."
When Alec explaining his story, Magnus and Luke was staring at him slacked jawed. They couldn't believe someone would use Alec like that, it made their blood boil with rage.
"Can people attend this event?" Magnus asked after he recovered. Getting the nod from Alec, he smiled and made sure to clear his schedule for that week so he could beat Sebastian's ass on live television, consequences be damned. After talking about Alec's story a little more and making sure everything was in place for Camille it was time to open the doors for the grand opening of the bakery.
