Chapter Thirteen

Before Joey went to bed, he sat down at the drawing table, opened the tablet, and finished the drawing of Roland and Jasper. When he was satisfied with how it looked, he closed it, got up and got ready for bed, in the morning he'd start painting it.

When Seto and Roland sat down, Seto said, "I need to get your opinion on something that I've been thinking about, what would you say if I told you that I was thinking of selling Kaiba Corp. to Pegasus and moving here to live?"

Roland looked at him and he said, "Are you sure that's what you want to do, have you talked this over with Mokuba to see what he thinks?"

Seto told him, "No, I wanted to find out what you thought about it before I said anything to anyone."

Roland got up and walked over to the window and as he looked outside he said, "Son, this is a huge decision to make and before you make it, you have to be really sure that this is what you want, because once you've signed the papers you can't take it back."

Seto walked over to where Roland was and he said, "I lost Joey once, because what I became, I was so involved with that damn Company, well I don't want to be that person anymore. And now I have a chance to undo what I did, and I'm going to take it."

Then from behind them they heard, "Well then do it, hell I don't give a rats ass if you sell it or not, Seto you love Joey, don't let him slip through your fingers again." Mokuba said.

Roland then said, "If that's what you want to do, then I'll get together with the board of Directors and inform them of the possible merging of Kaiba Corp. with Industrial Illusions."

Mokuba walked over to where they were and he said, "I'm proud of what you're doing, you're finally putting someone else's feelings ahead of your own."

Seto hugged Mokie and then he said, "Are you really sure you don't care if I sell Kaiba Corp. you know that when I do, we won't be living in Domino anymore and I'll probably be selling the Manor too."

Mokuba then said, "Sure I'll probably miss not going back to Domino, but I'll love coming here to New York when I come to visit, there are more things to do here, plus I'll be seeing my dad and brother and their life mates, and that's all I really care about."

Roland then said, "Alright first thing in the morning I'll get in touch with the Board of Directors and let them know what's going on, then I'll call Helga and tell her, she can let the staff know."

Seto then said, "What if we keep the Manor, you know for a place to go to when we want to get away from here, that way we can keep Helga and the staff, they have been there for us ever since I can remember and their family and family sticks together."

Mokuba went over to Seto and hugged him and he said, "Thank you for wanting to keep the Manor, it has too many memories, some not so good, but plenty of them were really great weren't they."

Seto smiled down at him and he said, "Yes, I feel the same way little brother."

Roland smiled at them and he said, "Alright, I'll get in touch with the Board, then call Maximillion and let him know that you want to have a meeting with him about a possible merger and let Helga know what's going on, and not to worry, the Manor stays in the Kaiba family."

Mokuba yawned and Roland said, "It's time we all get some sleep, we can continue this in the morning, so let's go."

Mokuba and Seto gave him a hug and he kissed them and said, "I love you both." Then they went to their rooms and as he walked to his, he thought, "I'm so damn proud of both of my boys, they've grown-up into great young men, especially Seto.

I never thought that I'd live to see the day when he wasn't the CEO of Kaiba Corp., well today I discovered that he's willing to step down for the man that he loves, now maybe he and Joey can have the life that they've always wanted, a life full of love and happiness. I know that that's what I want, a life with Jasper as my life mate."

Jasper lay in bed and wondered what tomorrow would bring, did he have the courage to ask Roland to become his life mate and to live here in New York with him. What would Roland's answer be?

Joey also lay in bed and wondered what Seto meant when he said, "I'm going to find a way that Roland, Jasper, you and I to be together. I need to do talk to Roland and see what he thinks about my idea." Joey turned off the light and went to sleep.

The next morning when Joey woke up, he went over to the drawing table and took the sketch he had drawn and went over to the easel and put a canvas on it and started painting. When he was done, he stood back and smiled.

He had painted what he saw, it was Roland with his black hair standing over six feet tall, holding Jasper who had dark brown hair and was just about two inches shorter, they were standing at the window looking out and the love that Roland had in his eyes as he looked at Jasper made Joey's eyes fill with tears.

It was great seeing them standing there, so much in love with each other, and how they were willing to have that moment in time as their own knowing that at anytime it could end, but not caring.

Joey covered the painting and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast and as he entered the kitchen, he saw Jasper sitting at the table writing a letter. When he went over and got a cup of coffee, Jasper turned the paper over, he smiled at Joseph and said, "I had a great time yesterday, even though I didn't understand what Mokuba was saying about how to play those games, it was great just being with Roland and all of you."

Joey nodded that he understood and then he said, "Later on I have something that I want to give to you and Roland, but right now, what's for breakfast."

Jasper laughed and said, "I guess we can go out and get something to eat, let's go, I'm hungry."

As they left the apartment, they went to the little diner down the street and had the best pancakes and eggs. As they ate, Jasper's phone rang and when he answered it, he heard Roland's voice say, "Can you and Joseph come over in a little while, Seto has something to tell both of you."

Jasper said, "We'll be there."

Joey asked, "Where are we going?"

Jasper told him, "That was Roland, he wants us to come over later, something about Seto wants to talk to us."

Joey wondered what it was about. He said, "Alright, but lets finish breakfast first, it's to good not to."

Jasper laughed and continued eating, and he said, "You are the only person that I know that can eat almost anything and not gain one single pound."

Joey laughed and said, "I love my food, that's all."

When they were done eating, they walked outside, Jasper flagged down a taxi, and the driver drove to the Hotel. When they walked inside, Joey wondered what was going on. They went up in the elevator and when they got to the top floor and the doors opened, Jasper knocked on the door and when Roland opened the door, he said, "Come in, Seto and Mokuba are waiting in the living room."
