Chapter 6: “No one to trust.”
[PETE.]
- [Dawn] -
After sending Macau to university, preparing food, and medicine for Vegas who was going to go to work at the company. Me, Venice, Grandma Jui, and Grandpa Tai asked Nopp to drive me to the Main Family's house. I saw my grandmother constantly complaining about wanting to visit the Young Master, and also bring nice bird's nest from the island for Khun-Korn.
As I said earlier, the islanders in my country respect Khun-Korn very much because they were almost evicted from the island by foreign investors.
But Khun-Korn came to concession this island, and also returned the land to the villagers there to make a living by establishing TK SKY Company, which would be incharge of extracting bird's nests and importing to famous department stores, and exporting abroad which let the villagers there sell it to the company to privatize
The villagers on the island almost built a monument to worship him, the fact that I used to be the deputy head of the Main Family was quite the pride and joy in my grandparents' eyes. Plus now they have the status of being like a relative to the Main Family by being in a relationship with Vegas who is a nephew of the Main Family Head. So my grandmother was proud, regardless of sexuality or how outsiders looked at it at all, she said that my luck was as good as the fortune teller had predicted.
...Did a fortune teller ever opine that my life will be so terrifying before I can stand up to this point? -_-
“Grandma Juiiiiiiiii!!!!” The Young Master Teekhun's eighteen-tube voice, the Main Family's eldest brother, greeted with excitement.
“Hello Khun-Korn, Hello Young Master.” Grandma and Grandpa, I raise my hand to pay homage to Khun-Korn in a respectful manner.
“Did you arrive long ago? Sit and have a drink, first.” Khun-Korn invites my grandfather and grandmother to sit in the living room and chat with himself, their faces are clear and full of kindness as always.
“Venice... How's Venice.” Khun-Korn turned to greet Venice with the usual scowl face reply of my son.
“Hello, this is your uncle Khun-Korn, son...” I tried to get Venice to raise his hand to pay homage to Khun-Korn. Venice did it, but he did it like someone was holding a gun to his head. Oh my... this is really my kid.
“Your son hasn't given up on his grumpy face since he was a wee baby until now.” The Young Master scolded Venice with his eyes squinting at Venice with a fierce, teasing look, “Smile at Uncle, smileeee.” The Young Master tried to make Venice smile until Venice turned away. Arm opened his arms and pretended to take him and Venice allowed Uncle Arm to carry him, without even caring about Young Master. Young Master murmured that Venice was stubborn, that he would not be satisfied with being ignored, and that he would not give Venice a single cent of his inheritance.
Maybe the children are separated. Who is sane? Who is not sane T_T?
“I and Uncle Pon will take you to watch cartoons, right? Wanna go see cartoons?” Venice nodded and Arm and Pon took Young Master to watch cartoons.
“Watch my first saved series first.” The Young Master yelled after him and turned to continue smiling at my grandfather and grandmother.
“You have been healthy, both Khun-Korn and Young Master.” My grandmother spoke and took a bird's nest bag, and put it on the table, “Bird's nest from island, Grandpa Tai went and bought it by hand, carefully selected for
Khun-Korn, Young Master, Khun-Kinn and Khun-Kim.”
“Oh, you did. You don't need to be troubled that much, our house eats bird's nests from Grandpa and Grandma's island almost every day.” Khun-Korn said while smiling.
“This one is very good, we had intended to bring it for you.”
Khun-Korn took it and opened it with a satisfied face, “Really good stuff too like this, it's as if our family had Komon Island to send us a bird's nest.”
“Here, Grandpa Tai goes to watch the nests every day.”
“Of course, good things and precious things, cared for things, one has to watch out for them and never really take your eyes off...” Khun-Korn glanced at me for a moment, “If someone steals it, it's probably going to be difficult, especially if it's very valuable. So, it's right to keep an eye on it like this, you can't trust anyone these days, right? Haha.”
My eyes nodded in agreement with Khun-Korn talking to my Grandparents.
“Grandpa and Grandma, can you sleep at my house tonight?“ The Young Master who kept talking suddenly broke out.
“Is that okay?” My grandmother said respectfully.
“This is a lot more fun than staying at Vegas, Khun-Grandma, you've met Macau, right?” From talking about the bird's nest business. Young Master suddenly beckoned my grandmother to bring her face closer, changing the topic stubbornly into a Young Master Teekhun-style chattering.
“Met him, why?”
“That bastard has been a bad guy since he was a kid. Let me guess, he must have pranked you for sure.” The Young Master said it came up like a villain in the drama.
“Young Master.” I hastened to warn him.
“Did he tie you to a mango tree or put a sailboat nail in front of your room?” I let out a heavy sigh. Khun-Korn also shook his head and nonchalantly turned to Grandpa Tai to continue talking about the bird's nest.
“Tie me? Holy crap.” My grandma said she came out shocked.
“Because he is an imp, he is an imp boy. Grandma, sleep over here tonight, I'm sure it'll be fun!!”
Young Master tries to persuade.
“Be considerate, Young Master. Soon, I have to go back and cook for the boys at home.”
“That's it, they can't use you like a slave Khun-Grandma! You can't keep suffering for them.”
“I'm willing. Vegas and Macau are cute...” Before my grandma had finished speaking, the Young Master flashed.
“Illusion! All illusions. Hey, Grandma Jui, today at my house we have renovated the onsen with a new sauna too, it's a lot more fun than there.” The Young Master still doesn't stop trying.
“What's that? Onsen-whatever stuff.” My grandmother asked as if she were a person from the provinces, who were confused by the new terminology.
“Today my entire day I will be taking you Khun-Grandpa and Khun-Grandma to soak in the onsen, go to the sauna, and then sing karaoke. Arm just installed a new sound system. Most importantly, late at night, I'll take you-Grandma to a certain place and I guarantee that yo will have soo much fun you will not believe it.” The Young Master spoke until Grandma Jui began to fall in love with her new toy. Young Master has some, but Young Master still finds time for pranks, “Accidentally, Khun-Grandma-you might be so addicted to it that she doesn't want to go back to the island.”
“So that's it, kid.”
“Really.” I put my finger on my temple hard, because he's known as Young Master, and it's not hard for him to pull people along in his schemes that now includes Grandma Jui.
“Why do you have to endure that grim house like that here? My house is a lot friendlier.” The Young Master continued.
“True, the bodyguards that are there look cold faced like they swallowed lime juice all the time.” Grandma Jui has begun to agree.
“That's it, look at the bodyguards here.” The Young Master points to a bodyguard who was cold face as my home bodyguards.
“They are all... smiling!!!” The Young Master turned around and ordered the bodyguards who were now puzzled as to what was going on, “I said... SMILE!”
Young Master gritted his teeth until the bodyguard slowly let out a sly smile on his face, “See, it's friendly.” The Young Master says it out loud with satisfaction.
“Umm.” Grandma Jui nodded along.
“So sleep here tonight.”
My brain is about to explode, Phupha bodyguard Khun-Kinn walks in with a bow.
“Khun-Pete. Khun-Kinn is inviting you to his room.” I saw that the situation here was very difficult to resist, so I nodded in agreement and excused myself to go to Khun-Kinn.
...
- [Khun-Kinn room] -
I walked into the familiar but unfamiliar office of Khun-Kinn, the room itself, and the furniture seemed more spacious, and in addition, there were pictures of Khun-Kinn and Porsche all over the room, and an additional desk. If I had to guess that it would be Porsche's desk, I haven't been in here for a long time because I've always been in the Main Family in the Young Master's room.
Only... I felt strange that Khun-Kinn suddenly wanted to meet me like that today.
“Hello, Khun-Kinn.” I bowed my head to the person in front of me before looking up at him.
Straight, handsome aura captured with a grown-up look, a mass of energy still full of power, cool leadership, calm demeanor, suitable for the appointed position without any restrictions skeptical. But the look in his eyes, and his countenance, looked visibly gloomy.
“How are you?” Khun-Kinn greeted me.
“Khrap, Khun-Kinn I'm fine too.” I gave my old boss a big smile but I had to close my smile when Khun-Kinn didn't react to my smile.
“Pete...” Khun-Kinn said in a stressed tone.
“Khrap.”
“Are you and Vegas okay now?” I frowned at Khun-Kinn's question, and the surrounding atmosphere was inviting. Suddenly uncomfortable.
“OK, Khrap.” I have answered truthfully.
“You don't have any problems, do you?...” I looked at Khun-Kinn with confusion.
“Well...a little bit, as someone who you have to live together twenty-four hours.”
“And these days, is he coming home late?” I got a little stuck with Khun-Kinn's question.
“I just want to know something, I didn't mean for say something to cause you two to fight or set your house on fire” Khun-Kinn hastened to defend himself.
“There are some nights that he returns late.”
“You know these days he goes out with Porsche...” I lowered my gaze and slowly nodded my head, “Are you worried about something like this...” I was silent for a moment and tried to convey what I understood.
“I'm worried that Vegas won't get enough rest due to a lot of work.” I've said it with all sincerity.
“That's all it is...”
“Khun-Kinn, do you have any problems with Porsche?” I rushed over, listening to the question, and analyzing all that Khun-Kinn had said to show me what he was worried about.
“Porsche looks good with Vegas.” Khun-Kinn said that he tried to force a faint smile.
“It's a transfer of power, Porsche himself must be the perfect Second Family Head. Someone like Vegas who has lived with the Second Family since childhood must help Porsche get better a lot faster, and they both must try to work hard.” I
spoke in a calm ton eeven though my heart hadn't calmed down...
“So... you're always optimistic. Vegas used to like Porsche. Does something like this bother you?...” Khun-Kinn spoke with a faint consciousness. So I shook my head instead of answering.
“About the past, I can't go back and fix it. Everyone has a past here. Honestly, if I was jealous or not there might be some like that, but now the two of them didn't make me think that way. Besides, I've overlooked the past Vegas a long time ago.” I said it and tried to smile to encourage Khun-Kinn.
“If I can think of half of you that would be nice... Right now, everything that
Porsche talks about is Vegas, so there's almost no place for me.”
“Trust me, Khun-Kinn... we have to trust the people we love.” I said with a very trembling heart.
“Thank you very much...If one day there really is a problem...Main Family will always be your home.” Khun-Kinn looked at me with sincere eyes as if emphasizing that what he said was true.
“Yes, I am still Pete who is always ready to help, Khun-Kinn...”
“Thank you very much.”
“I will excuse myself, I'm going to see Venice.” I bowed my head to Khun-Kinn once more before turning around and stepping out of the room...
“Pete...” My legs suddenly froze, I let go of the doorknob and listened to Khun-Kinn.
“Don't trust anyone too much, as a brother, I insist on the old saying that you are like my real brother.” I turned to look at Khun-Kinn with a big smile and
opened the door.
My feelings are confused right now, even though the words that come from the heart are not false, but deep in my heart, I admit that he made me feel a little worried as well.
Can't think of many things... But at least I don't think Vegas really dares to do something like that. I've always believed in the love Vegas has for me, and what I believe even more is that the love I have for Vegas is too much for me to believe, and I can't really dig that up.
“Ve...Oh!” When I opened the door of the Young Master's room, there wasn't a single creature, where did they all go? I looked left and right trying to find my son but couldn't even find Pon and Arm.
“Khun-Pete! They're all in the onsen.” Phupha who walked right in front of the room told me politely, and I nodded my head. Take Venice to soak in the onsen? He's too young, hey, he'll get sick soon.
I quickly put on the gear and pressed the elevator to the basement with the whole room.
Onsen, Spa, and Sauna. Just walk in for a drink to get Venice out of the water. If he gets sick, the bad guy is me!!!
Bulk!
“Oh, the hot water is comfortable, the blood is flowing really well, isn't it?” My grandmother's voice rang out.
“Oh Pete, hurry up and change your clothes and let's soak together. I'll adjust the size to be bigger. I guarantee that the water is warm and the space is very comfortable!!!!” The Young Master who was drinking turned to me, but I didn't care. I only looked for Venice, but in the onsen room, there were only Young Master, Grandpa Tai, and Grandma Jui.
“Venice.” I asked, “Maybe with Arm and Pon maybe in the sauna over there.” I quickly shut the onsen door and ran into the sauna, are you going to roast my baby?! These two bad friends. If I find Venice in the sauna I'll slap Pon and Arm apart.
Bulk!
As soon as I opened the door to the room, I saw two of them with their eyes closed and absorbed in the atmosphere with great satisfaction.
“Venice? Venice!?” I called out to Venice loudly, excitedly, and erratically, in the sauna, there were only Pon and Arm.
“Pete, stay here with us.” Pon invited me.
“Where is Venice!” I quickly asked the two of them.
“Venice...” Haven't heard Pon's answer yet, and a sentence pops up in my head until my ears go off for a moment.
“Of course, good things, love things, care things, one must keep an eye on them, right?...”
“If someone steals it, it's probably going to be difficult, especially if it's very valuable. So, it's right to keep an eye on it like this, you can't trust anyone these days, right, haha.”
Khun-Korn's sentence flashed into my head, and that made me lose consciousness and rush out.
From the sauna, Pete immediately took the elevator to the top floor of the house.
“Pete!! Pete!!!” Pon and Arm sounded behind me.
With a surging emotion and being worried about Venice, I lost my mind so I opened into Khun-Korn's room without knocking for permission at all.
“...” Khun-Korn and Phii-Chan turned to look at me with one eye, they were both playing chess. I gasped for breath in exhaustion and looked at Khun-Korn who stared at me still until I had to speak.
“Sorry for being rude...Is Venice here?” I asked while looking at Khun-Korn with an inquisitive look.
“Did something happen?” Khun-Korn asked me again.
“Have you seen Venice...” I repeated the same sentence, not wanting to hear anything but wanting to know where my son is now.
“Isn't He watching cartoons with Pon and Arm?” Enough of that sentence. I looked around the room before bowing my head and walking out, and as soon as I closed the door, Khun-Korn's voice echoed.
“Checkmate!” I looked all over trying to take a deep breath, looking for Venice.
“Venice...Venice, have you seen Venice?” I've walked all floors, and asked every bodyguard that crossed me, but, almost all answered with a shake of my head.
“Venice!!!” My heart is almost down to the ankles. If Venice disappears or anything happens, I will never forgive myself.
“Venice? Venice!!!” I pressed the elevator down to the ground floor and walked everywhere until I ran to the garden in a sweat, my mouth continually shouting for Venice.
“Venice!!!!”
“Do you like fish?...look at that one.” A loud noise comes from the koi pond, so I quickly run to see it.
“Venice, which one do you like?”
“Daaad...” I stopped and looked at the back of my son's chair watching fish.
I'm familiar Venice's voice when he says ‘Daad’ the way he said that one word, calling me 'Daad' was with a tone that was close to hectic tears.
“Venice.” I called Venice with relief. Slowly Porsche turned and smiled at me, Venice in tears, his mouth turned upside down, and as soon as he saw me he rushed towards me with his arms open, with great speed, and I held him tightly...
“Sorry, you must be looking for Venice all over the place, I saw Pon entrusting Tom to bring Venice to you, but since you were talking business with Kinn, I volunteered to look after Venice for you.” Porsche got up from his chair. and looked at me with a relaxed expression.
“My son cried, why didn't you hurry and bring him to me?” I said that I was going out angrily.
“I said I saw you talking to Kinn, so I didn't want to go in there. Hey, I can help you look after your son.” Porsche said with a smile.
“Pete!!! Did you meet Venice, I left him to Tom.” Pon, who wore a coat came out and seemed to run to me until he was out of breath as well.
“I asked Venice, to bring him to Grandma Jui, and tell Grandma Jui that I'll be back.” I sent Venice to Pon who looked stressed out about my situation with Porsche.
“All right, I won't let Venice leave my sight.” Pon takes Venice out.
“Why are you looking at me with such suspicion, I'm not just someone from the unknown Pete. I wanted to show Venice your smoking spot.” Porsche blew up his cigarette.
“Venice doesn't really like strangers.” I said and my eyes still stared at Porsche with emotion that I can't hide. Yes, Porsche...I don't trust you anymore.
“Hmmm...we see each other a lot when Vegas brings Venice to see the office, I am not that much a stranger.” Porsche blew out the smoke with great pleasure.
“...” I was silent, didn't answer anything, tried to keep all my feelings, and didn't show any concern to anyone.
“Or next time I have a meeting with Vegas again and if you leave Vegas to look after Venice and I'll help you.”
“I won't bother you, you're probably working late.”
“It's okay, you must be tired too. Vegas is tired but don't worry I'm trying to take care of him for you.” Porsche said smiling, I looked at my friend with unfamiliar eyes. This Porsche is not someone I know.
“Thank you, but I can take care of my family. You, please take care of Khun-
Kinn.”
“Did Kinn lament to you? ...Are you afraid that I and Vega will...”
“Don't make matters worse for him, Porsche.” I said in a serious tone that made Porsche smile and walked closer to me.
“And are you...scared or not?” He patted me on the shoulder a few times and was about to walk away.
“I don't need to be afraid of anything...” I turned around without even looking at him, “Because...no one knows Vegas as well as I do... and you don't have to gaslight me this way.”
“...”
“Because you'll never win against me...” End of the sentence to me, Porsche walks away. I don't know what kind of attitude he has now. I don't know what his face looks like, but I the game the two of them are playing, I knew it from the beginning. I'll prove to you guys, that nothing can dampen my love for Vegas for even one second.
“Hello, Ray...same meeting, the day after tomorrow.” I dialed my secret bodyguard, and immediately set up a meeting. Now I think things are getting a little too far...
VEGAS PETE STORY: I Don’t Become Satan
Chapter 7: “Let Me Out.”
[VEGAS.]
“Why does the Second Brother get more presents than I do, Mother?” The kind girl's face with a big smile, and the dimples of a heavenly kiss still imprinted on my heart forever. Even for a second, my beloved mother left me when I was a child.
“Although Vegas is less, this robot is much bigger, isn't that your favorite?” A warm hand caressed my head softly.
“But Big Brother said because we are Second Family, we must get less stuff than Main Family, Second Family, and Main Family, what is it? Ma.” My mom's face softened but she still forced a smile.
“The Main Family is like Big Brother, a pillar, who takes care of everyone, including the Second Family.”
“And dad can't take care of us? I don't like Uncle...I don't like Big Brother.” My voice is in.
As a young boy said in a low voice. Although at the time I knew, well, that we were relatives, being compared so often, made me feel even worse.
“We are relatives, growing up we have to help each other take care of Teerapanyakul and must love each other very much.” My mother still chatted and taught in a gentle voice.
“But love...makes people weak.” Dad, sitting at the desk sipping whiskey, said in a harsh voice and stared at me and my mother with harsh eyes.
'Love makes people weak...love is always our weakness...but because we have feelings, don't we have a heart?'
- [At the main family's lotus pond] -
“I said I want to borrow it for a bit!” Second Brother snatched the robot in my hand with a deadpan look, causing me to quickly grab him, and there was a pulling and pushing, “But that's mine!” A gift from the Teerapanyakul family's
Chinese New Year party where partners and employees brought presents to Uncle, my dad, and family to congratulate.
“Let go, let me borrow it!!.”
“You are the Second Family, you must let the Main Family play first!! Let my brother play with it, Vegas!” Big Brother, who was standing behind him with his arms crossed, came back and helped Second Brother pull the robot in my hands again. I saw it so I used my last strength, pulling the robotic arm until it fell out...
Tun!!!!!! As soon as I and the robot arm was freed I staggered to the floor, and the two brothers, Big Brother and Second Brother by the pool, both fell into the water.
The events of that day... made me know what is the diference between the Main Family and Second Family is.
“Give me a stick!” Uncle ordered a bodyguard, and stared at me with stern eyes, behind him was Big Brother who stood and hugged tightly, and the Second Brother was well supported by the elders.
“But the Second Brother wanted to steal my robot.” I tried to explain.
“Don't be such a liar. I don't like liars, I saw that you pushed both of them into the water.”
Big Brother and Second Brother were silent and didn't say a word.
“He fell on his own, Dad...I didn't do it.” My father looked at the situation with sternness.
“You born as a man make mistakes and must admit mistakes, especially if you are born in Teerapanyakul, we must dare to admit.” Uncle holds a stick ready to hit me.
“So Big Brother and Second Brother have to admit that they took my things.” “We did nothing.” Big Brother spoke softly.
“Don't accuse my son...” After that sentence, I turned to look at my silent father.
“There are many toys for my child, why would they snatch your robot? More importantly, you attacked Kinn and he fell into the water. If people weren't around, and Kinn drowned you and your father would be responsible, but my son's life would still be lost.” By then I was young, and I couldn't understand
much, but It made me feel I was treated unfair by the person in front of me.
“Here you go!” As soon as Uncle grabbed my arm about to slam the cane in the butt, my father stood up and blocked him from me.
“Hia! This is my son, I will punish him myself.” My father pulled a stick from Uncle and looked at me blankly. I looked at my father and didn't know why his tears suddenly flowed out, feeling that I was very weak at that time.
“Father...” My father broke the cane and left me heartwarmed, and was about to run to hug Daddy seeking protection like I had found shelter, and was about to escape this injustice. But as soon as my feet stepped towards my father, suddenly, my father's hand slapped me in the face until I fell to the ground.
I felt that I was shattered even more than when Uncle scolded me that this was more unfair and than when Uncle wanted to hit me with a stick. More than anything, I collapsed and the shocking thing that hurt every bit of my feelings, “Apologize to Kinn and Kinn. Hia, I'll teach him a better lesson... from now on, he will probably knows not to go against the Main Family, because we're just the
Second Family after all.”
Yes...Second Family, the underdog; the Second Family of the Main Family. This has repeatedly stomped on my heart and made me realize that there is no justice in this world and that it must be about the status of having to bow to the higher ones only “Mom...Mom!” Help me ...
“Vegas...” I slowly opened my eyes to a familiar sound. I fell asleep, and after two full hours of reflecting on the past, I pushed myself from the couch, greeting the person in the back glass room.
“Master...it's been a long time.” I pushed myself and got up to pour some water to drink.
“For a moment.” I looked at Master through the shadow of the stained glass and listened to the modified voice.
He always speaks into the microphone when giving orders.
“I have until ten o'clock, today I have to meet Pete and his grandparents at
Sister Yok's bar. Master, you called me, is there something urgent?” Now, I'm at a secret safe house in the suburbs. I only know this man as Master, I don't know who he is, but he is the one who holds all the secrets of the Teerapanyakul family. At first, I intended to handle this alone, but because Master's helped so many times, now, we're getting stronger and stronger, and the other member is...
“What's the progress?” Porsche walks in with a chill look. Porsche, who is in the same position as me, he wants to know the truth about his family and what is the actual truth of what happened behind the scenes aside from the story he was told by Khun-Korn. Whereas me I want to revenge for my father. Of course, I'm not going to go diehard on war path for my father's death, but I have doubts about many things especially...
“I came from the north and I have found out that the Port which should be a
Second Family inheritance will be passed to the Main Family when the Second
Family Head dies...”
Master was silent for a moment before there was a sound of flipped the paper over, opening a small window, and handing us the document through the hole.
“It doesn't belong to Khun-Kan at all...” I frowned, firmly picked up the document, and examined it carefully. Yes, when my father died as is customary all possessions are passed down to the Main Family, and of course, the Main Family can then take the possesions and give them to anyone. For example, the Head position of the Second Family is now owned by Porsche, but Porsche does not have any entitlements regarding ownership on real estate business, or any property in the Second Family. The only thing is that fucking two-faced Uncle of mine is trying to deceive me as a good person by saying he will be returning the Second Family possesions to me. But every one of those possesions were in his name, and he also allocated bodyguards to my family house. Let's just say my life right now is like a prison because before I do anything I have to worry about how the Main Family will interpret my actions. Ask me if I hold a grudge against him, of course. He fucking killed my father, but after I started living with Pete, the part inside me that wanted revenge begins to lessen and I didn’t care for much except spedning my days with him, Macau and Venice; our little family. But what I am doing with Master, and Porsche is to expose that bastard's evil of an Uncle and free me, and my family from the oppresion the Main Family is exerting on my family because we know very well that in this industry you can't just get in and out, the only way out is death...
“The owner's name is... Nalin Keeratipongkorn.” I read the title out loud, my mother's name is the title holder.
“The northern pier owned by the Second Family is under Madam Lin's name and of course, if she dies, all inheritance will go to HER rightful heirs.” I started to
think about this... Since everything is like this, it means that me and Macau...
“This shows that the port is mine.” I look at Master through the glass with a daze.
I'm not crazy about inheritance, I don't want anything from this crazy family, but my mom must have thought that something like this would happen...hey, what the hell.
“It's not that easy. Vegas... You signed everything to the Main Family, didn't you?...” Master asked me flatly and I recalled the day I signed everything to the Main Family...
- [Rewind] -
In a special room that was tightly curtained up, not even a single light could penetrate. Darkness overwhelmed the sight, and within my mind until the complete darkness collapsed like a guiding fire suddenly extinguished almost unexpectedly.
Three sheets of paper in front of me contained paragraphs about the transfer of power over every business to the Head of the Main Family, Korn-
Teerapanyakul. Whether it's the shipping ports which were in Kan's name, or even some of the casinos that are entirely classified as Second Family businesses.
“You must take it easy Vegas because you will be demoted and you will only be one of the Board Members as has been the tradition since the Grandfather generation. If one of the Main Family or Second Family is overthrown, everything falls to the winning side, and the winner can assign everything to his will.
“Huh...You're the next Second Family.”
“Yeah... this game is a lot more complicated than you thought.”
“It’s not finished, isn't it?”
“I think you should just sign and let things end.”
“You've entered the battle grounds now... Kim.”
- [Current] -
“That day...the Main Family sent Kim to get the documents for me to sign.” I slowly recalled the memory of the hospital.
“Only a few ports are in Khun-Kan's name, which can then be completely Khun-Korn's, by now the Main Family should know that the north port is under Madam Lin’s name.” Master analyzed.
“If he wants it...should I give him...”
“No... Someone like Khun-Korn will want to get it anyway. But if we leave let him get it, it means we lose.” Porsche sits cross-legged on the sofa and speaks comfortably before a distant gaze glances at me, “Have you forgotten... that we just want to reclaim our rights, and cut down bad people like that.” “I'm not holding a grudge...but I want freedom.” I tell the truth.
“Huh...freedom? You haven't had it since you were born in the Teerapanyakul family.” Porsche spoke indifferently. Porsche is not the same Porsche from before. This Porsche full of calm, hard-boiled, stern nature that had previously looked more than enough to scare a bunch of hooligans. But now he's calm and collected to the point that it's creepy, “Demanding anyhting and he gets it? the only way we know is to overthrow Korn's power. Master wants to overthrow the bad system, I want the truth, and justice for my parents, and you want freedom and security for your family. It's very easy if there isn't a ... someone like him.” Porsche’s face twitched into a smile.
“Porsche, you've changed a lot.” I said that with a disbelieving smile.
“Some people say that I have changed... And has anyone ever known what I've been through?”
Porsche picked up a glass of wine and sipped slowly.
“From the first day, when we agreed, we clearly understood the purpose...
Vegas, you can't let go of the port. The only way to reclaim the rights is to hunt down the names of the surviving Second Family board members who previously signed contracts with the port owner name Lin. And then we get their papers and signatures to establish you as the head board.” Master handed me another document that lists all the board members.
“The old Second Family board members, if they weren't killed, would have all fled the country.” I sighed lightly, Porsche took the paper in my hand to look at it, lit a cigarette, and smoked.
“It's not difficult, I can help myself to find it. Some of the names are now Main
Family members.” Porsche, having learned so much information about the Main Family, puts a cigarette in his mouth, pulls out a pen, and cross-checks the names he's familiar with, “But how do make people who have already been bought out agree to sign? Aside from you, Master? How many people do we need?” Porsche turned to Master.
“Hunt the list of board members who are on that list... no less than 10 people, only then will we be able to claim justice.” Master spoke through a voiceover.
“That's all, Korn will feel defeated...” Porsche smiled with satisfaction, “Bad guys like that are probably not used to play by the rules.” Porsche said that with a sneer. Now I started to feel a headache, a pulsing light in my brain began to warp into a distance where the picture in front of me began to blur. Porsche stared at me for a moment and quickly changed his mood to pick up my bag.
“Vegas...Didn't you take your medicine?” Porsche quickly grabbed the pill in his bag. I shook my head and held my head in agony. I felt some consciousness and some pill capsules, thrust into my mouth followed by Porsche's handful of water. I swallow with difficulty and realize that Porsche is dragging me across the couch.
“Is it okay...” Porsche's stern face blurs out as he tries to make me take a deep breath, and holds my hand tightly with a very torturous feeling as if something is trying to push. I came out, and he was hot, suffocating like someone was being pressed into water. The only person I tried to recall, and bring me back to my senses was, 'Pete'.
“Pete...Pete...” I also called my lover's name, miserably, before Pete’s wide smile flashed in my head. His clear eyes called my name brightly, and as I imagined him, the turmoil began to subside, and Master's voiceover echoed through the glass.
“Are you normal Vegas... or the other Vegas?”
[PETE.]
“Om Sith Thao restores prosperity for children to have people who love people, have mercy on children, let them be safe and famous Kong Fah ~ many lovers... Oh, make my face beautiful...” I sighed for the millionth time when Young Master persisted in taking me and Grandma Jui to Sister Yok, to the point that she followed me home. It's good that it's just me and Grandma Jui, Grandpa Tai fell asleep in the early evening.
What a great survivalist, actually the state I see now is Young Master sitting on the sofa with his hands crossed. Grandma Jui sang a lullaby and rubbed Young Master's hand on the back as if blessing him every sentence, along with many jars of pickled pills with Sister Yok, Arm, and Pon starting to enjoy each other.
“May all Grandma Jui's children be well, Ameen.” Then my grandmother got drunk until she grabbed a jar of ya pickles and pinned it to her waist, looking at the screen, the other hand holding the microphone. I staggered over and over and I was tired. Why did I have to meet people, and things like that? Hey, I called Vegas to pick me up at 10pm, but it's already ten minutes late. I keep calm, looking at the clock and the front door of the shop but there's no sign.
As soon as my phone vibrates. I was startled in despair, that the screen would appear with the name...
'Macau'.
I was secretly disappointed a little, but willing to answer the call and walk out of the shop, ready to light a cigarette to talk to the other end of the line.
“Hello, Macau...How are you?”
“I'm asleep, Phii-Pete...Phii-Pete, what time will you be back.]
“If in half an hour, your Hia hasn't arrived, I'll go back myself.” I told the younger brother like that and blew smoke around the area.
[Hia hasn't come to pick you up yet?] When Macau said that, I immediately realized that Vegas wasn't home yet, [Should I send Pae come to pick you up?] “It's okay, I leave it to me, I'll be right back.
[Okay.]
Before hanging up, I hurriedly interrupted the one the end of the line. “Macau...don't forget to take medicine.”
[Khrapom.] The younger replied in a bright voice. I'm relieved that today Macau's mood and swings are not too frequent, and I believe that one day he will surely be better. But with another person...
The normal Vegas or the ‘him’ Vegas?
Multiple Personality Disorder. A psychiatric disorder that gives him one or more personalities, which are alternating, self-contained, where memory, perception, thought and feeling are often separated.
One Vegas is easy to smile, responds to my jokes, lives a simple life, as usual, yearns for me all the time, like a little wolf that keeps its teeth in when it's necessary, and fierce in any situation, by You can control it.
The ‘him’ Vegas is like a predatory wolf, uncontrollable, emotionally driven, and irrational, exposing all his dark thoughts, and how to separate himself. Well this Vegas won't speak Thai, and won't cherish me, but...
...
I was startled slightly as the warmest arms ever embraced me from behind. At the touch of a stroke, the weight tightened as if this person who hugged me from behind was afraid that I was about to disappear, his face clinging to my right shoulder and his overlapping chin landed on top of it. I didn't have to look back or even look to know who this person was...
I turned my face slightly and put the cigarette in my hand to Vegas' mouth, before the smoke came out I bit my lip tightly and held the cigarette to his mouth when I felt some kind of energy.
“I'm not okay...I was really hurt.” It's ‘him’ Vegas now, but no matter which Vegas, they both yearn for me, and they want me anyway. [1] If you find the Bold sentences if it’s a full sentence then it’s the ‘HIM’ Vegas.
“It's, okay, Vegas...It's, okay.” I quickly turn around, face blank eyes, and hold his face, telling him he'll be alright in a gentle voice. , and always ready to be by his side.
“No!!!” Vega slowly closed his eyes and his breathing became more and more rapid. I stroked his eyes and looked at him with extreme concern.
“You, don't, understand me!!! You don't understand me!!!!” In the last sentence, Vegas pushed me and I hit the wall so hard I felt a twinge and my body twisted, automatically bent in anguish. Before I could react, his both hands leaned against the wall, straddling me. I lifted my head to meet those angry eyes without fear.
“...” We were both stupefied, no one dared to look away, from his empty eyes.
No, if you look deeper than that filled with pain, horrific torture, the hatred that carries a lifetime, is the entity called 'Vegas' darkest side of the mind. I literally knew how scary it was to sink myself into his dark side, but I felt the urge to fall, deeper than that.
“Come on...” I pulled one of Vegas’s hand to strangle me, “I'll take all your pain.” As soon as I finished my sentence, he stretched out a gleeful smile, before the squeeze on my neck increased. Vega's face smirked with satisfaction, before using his force to force me into a harsh kiss, my lips being crushed down heavily with a merciless bite and no chance for me to breathe. I felt like a person was about to die when the air was not enough and the pressure on the neck made the brain start to blur, and my eyes couldn't focus on the person in front of me. But I don't know why my heart started beating as if this was what I longed for, wanted so badly. I didn't resist the slightest bit, grabbed Vega's wrist, and squeezed as a signal for more power. I responded to Vegas. Everything was fine, the hot tongue encroaching on the cavity of the mouth with the fishy smell of blood and the astringent taste. I tried to swallow all the liquid down my throat, but with so much difficulty that tears welled up in my eyes...
“Huh...” Vegas ripped my head off with oppressive eyes.
And as if disdainful, before he spat bloody saliva on the ground. The feeling of depriving me of my self-esteem made me even more excited, prompting me to yank Vegas into the not-so-distant bathroom. and managed to lock it without letting Vega's hand slip out of my head. For a split second, Vegas pushed me into the bathroom inside before whistling chillingly and starting to unbuckle his belt, clutching it in his hand and staring at me like a winner. I don't know why at this moment I almost couldn't control my temper, a burning sensation, surging all over my body, urging the person in front of me to hurry and hurt my body to make me feel the pain!!!
“Go ahead! What the fuck are you waiting for!!!” I said with a big smile.
“Shut up...You have no right to demand anything from me.” Vegas pushed me against the door and brought his face closer with a cold voice in my ear. And I could feel the dampness in my throat as Vegas dragged my tongue, the goosebumps and the lust for him almost coming out of me.
Suddenly, my arms were tied together, the belt, and tied to the luggage rack next to the door, causing my entire forearm to straighten as I felt excited, to the point where I couldn't tell. It's already crazy to death. The more Vegas comforted me by rolling up my shirt and planting its fangs into my chest without any effort. It made my breathing even more difficult because of the blood pumping with desire until I had to bite my lip to suppress a moan.
“Just once, you bastard!!” I couldn't stand it any longer until Vegas had to put his hand over my mouth.
“Shu~...huh.” Vegas let go of his hand from my mouth, put his forefinger to his mouth, and laughed with his gratification to see me suffer until the tears came to his eyes.
“Heh heh.” Vegas' laughter still echoes as he lowers his pants, revealing a stiff cock bulging out of his black underwear. Vegas slowly took off his pants and his underwear before he grabbed his cock with his hands and moved it up and down slowly, his eyes looking at me with great satisfaction.
“Vegas... I beg...” When I see that Vegas is contaminating himself on one side. I became more and more tormented as Vegas was having fun as I saw the torment of my own desires. I bit my lip and squeezed my body tight as I wanted Vegas' body to come into contact with me.
“Huh...” Vega's voice still echoes in my head, and my eyes look at Vega pleadingly, before his hand slides to pull my pants down. I felt relieved that he hasn't let me go untouched for long. Because now my cock is fully enlarged with a luscious mess of precum dripping on my underwear. Vega saw that and moved his hand up and down on his cock and held his head up as if he was about to reach the top.
“Vegas...help me...please.” I called Vegas, biting my lip, begging him to come and touch me. Vega gasped and then looked down at me slowly, his mouth twitching in a psychopathic grin seeing someone begging him so much, and I couldn't stop breathing to say this embarrassing thing.
“Haha...Can I help you?”
“Please...touch me ~.” I didn't feel disgusted doing this because I did like it when I was manipulated by my lover and being under his control sexually. Call it anything you want, but I'm happy if this is what Vegas is pleased with.
“Wow...good job baby.” And then Vegas ripped my hair hard with his hand.
“I'm-feel-good!” Before I could stand up, Vegas’s hand, lowered my boxers, before spread my legs and inserting himself in the middle so my legs caught on his waist. I felt like Vegas hadn't done anything yet, but looked so erotic that I could cum just like this.
“Wait! wait!...calm down.” Vegas saw that I was about to cum, he sneered and as he spoke there, Vegas spat down on his cock, rubbed it three times. Of course, no foreplay, nurturing, or no stretching. If this is Vegas' dark side, I'll have to vent as much of his pain as possible.
“Fuck!!!!” I stiffened when my hole was breached to the hilt by his fully hard cock. I was both hurt, and my body was so slow that I couldn't fight, and I didn't want to fight.
“Pete...Ummmm.” Vegas moved his hips so fast, and so hard that my back hit the door loudly, but I didn't expect anyone to hear it because this was the restroom behind the restaurant, And Vegas and I managed to lock all the entrance doors as well.
“Call my name!!!” Vegas grabbed me by the head and strangled my neck, his waist was now working relentlessly, the heat from his cock and the lust within him. Well, I can't stand it, even though Vegas doesn't seem to cum, but I can't control anything anymore and my brain is blurry. My hand tied by the belt, tightly gripped the railing, before twitching, the milky white water came out at the reddened end of my cock and smeared my tummy and Vegas' tummy.
My legs are still tightly wrapped around his waist, and with the blows, he keeps coming back and forth, I don't know how long he will vent this pain. But I was glad and willing to accept it all, even if anyone would say, that this love was not good, how much it hurt me, but I still insisted on holding him tight and By his side forever.
Because...
Even if I'm in deathly pain, I still love this guy, because he's always my beautiful pain.
And...
There is only one Pete, Pete who will always be by Vegas' side. I believe that even today there will be Normal-Vegas, Dark-Vegas, or thousands of others in his body. But all these versions of Vegas will always come back to me, they can throw away some of their memories...But they will never throw the memories of me and forget me.
Thanks, no matter who Vega is, he's always Vega who belongs to Pete.
Really ... Thank you very much.
