Tim had two choices: the first option was to stay with Willy and not help the investigator, but if something happened in the future, he would never forgive himself for this, and the second was to go and help catch Dean, but he didn't know how long it would take. They had been trying to catch him for over thirteen years, but they still couldn't.
Willy: "I know you're worried about me, and you don't want to leave me alone. I can stay with my family until you get back."
Tim: "But I don't know when I'll be back, and I know you don't have a good relationship with your parents right now, and it's all my fault."
Willy put his hand on his shoulder.
Willy: "It's very important to you to catch him, and you can't live peacefully until you do it, so go, and I'll wait for you."
It was a really difficult decision for Tim. He had been trying to catch Dean for thirteen years, but now there was nothing more important to him than Willy.
Tim: "Nothing is more important to me than you. I don't know what to do."
Willy: "Don't make this decision right now. Think carefully, analyze everything, and I'm sure you'll make the right decision. No matter what, I'll be by your side. Don't do this for my safety. I know you've never had the right to make a choice, and you've always cared about others, so now I want you to make the decision that you want to make, not because you have to protect me or get revenge. Do what your heart desires. No matter what happens in the future, I will never blame you, because just as you think and care about me, so do I. We are a family now, and if before you had to take care of everyone and never remember yourself, now I am by your side and I will take care of you."
Every day, every moment, he realizes that he made the right decision when she didn't give up on his first love just because he devoted all his time to revenge. Before meeting Willy, he never believed in love, and when someone declared their love for him or asked him out on a date, he always replied that he didn't have time for it, but when he first met Willy, he felt something special. That's when he realized that he had found the person he wanted to spend his whole life with. At first, he was very nervous because he didn't want to put him in danger, so he took every precaution for this. Deep down, he already knows the answer, but he doesn't want to admit it because he knows that parting with him will be very difficult for him. For the first time in thirteen years, he sleeps peacefully and has someone by his side who he can rely on.
Tim: "I don't want to go, but I know I have to go, and it's very difficult for me."
Willy: "No matter how long it takes, I'll always wait for you. I want you to be able to live in peace. I don't want you to wake up every day in fear. After all this, you deserve to live happily."
Willy's birthday party didn't end so happily, because everyone knew very well that soon the two would have to be apart.
Tim called the investigator and told him that he agreed to his offer. The operation to capture Dean would begin in a few days, because they had to prepare some things beforehand. Knowing that they would soon have to be apart, they spent all their time together. Those few days passed quickly. Willy didn't have many things, because he had almost everything at his parents' house. This separation was really hard for them.
Willy: "I know you won't have much time, but text me sometimes because I'll be worried about you. Please be careful and don't do anything crazy to get back to me soon. I love you so much."
Tim: "I promise I'll be careful, and you promised me you'd be too. My people will protect you and your family, but still be careful. I love you very much and I miss you already."
They didn't want to let go of each other's hands, but they had no choice.
Miles watched them from a distance. He knew that if he didn't intervene, he would have to stay here all day.
Miles: "It's time to go. The longer you drag out saying goodbye, the harder it will become, so it's time to let go now."
After the final kiss, they slowly let go of each other's hands. There was sadness in their eyes.
Tim: "I can't wait for the day when this is all over and I'll run to you right away."
Willy: "And I can't wait for the day when we meet again."
Willy and Miles left first. The car started, and Tim and Willy looked at each other again until the car disappeared around the bend.
Tim called the investigator and agreed on the last details. No one had to know about his whereabouts, but he had to hide near the place that would be Dean's next target. Tim's old house was already out of the question, because Dean had already checked everything there and couldn't find what he wanted. Now there was only one place left to check, and that was Tim's father, Adrian's workplace. Since the embassy is very well-guarded, it will take Dean a long time to get there, which means Tim may have to meet his father, and he doesn't want to do that at all. Adrian hasn't worked at the embassy for a few years now, but he visits often. Since it's a well-guarded building, he still keeps important documents there. Tim knows about it very well, and since he was able to figure it out so easily, he's sure Dean knows about it too.
Tim has safely left the country. Now he and Willy are separated not only by distance but also by time.
Willy's return home is not as well-received by his parents as he was prepared for. His parents are not home very often because of their work. They are still dealing with the mess Tim caused, so the company is still in chaos. Because of this, he won't get to spend much time with them.
His room looked awful, as if they were trying to hide or make him disappear. Willy tidied up the room, and when he couldn't find all his things, he went downstairs to talk to Miles.
Willy: "Do you know where my things are? I found the room almost empty."
Miles: "I have no idea. My room is untouched, everything is just as I left it. Ask our parents, they'll keep it somewhere."
Willy didn't want to call his parents about this. He wouldn't be surprised if his things were thrown away, since he's not his parents' favorite child. He didn't say anything and just went back to his room. He missed Tim even more now. If he were here now, he wouldn't have to go through all this. His home and the person he could count on were no longer here. His eyes were filled with tears. Suddenly, Miles entered his room.
Miles: "Your fiancé's head of security is downstairs. He wants to see you."
Willy was surprised. After all, he wasn't expected here because he's always with Tim. He immediately went downstairs to see him.
Willy: "Why are you here? I thought you went with Tim."
Head of security: "Tim left me to protect you. He told me that you were the most important thing to him, and I protected you well. Don't worry, there's another team with him. I also brought these things to you."
There were a lot of boxes outside. The security guards took everything to his room.
Willy: "What's in these boxes?"
Head of security: "I don't know. I was just told to bring them. There's a letter with the boxes and it probably explains everything to you."
After carrying the boxes, they said goodbye to him and returned to their positions. Since Willy and his parents are staying in this house, there are a lot of guards protecting the place. They had been protecting the house well before he returned, but now they have strengthened it even more, because they know how precious Willy is to their boss.
The almost empty room was now filled with boxes. Willy barely managed to enter the room. He was looking among the boxes for the letter the head of security had told him about. Finding him was not so easy. After a long time, he found a letter, hidden among the boxes in the corner. He picked it up and returned to the bed with difficulty. He held the letter in his hand, but he did not dare to open it, for he was afraid that after reading it he would want to see Tim even more.
