The Entrust

Baramee Clan

A/N: I woke up a little late than I usually do, maybe because the weather is cold and totally comforting.

Do you love rainy days? The rain and I have a love-hate relationship. I hate when it rains during I'm in the office and it would be very terrible for me who commutes sometimes since it would drench me. But I also love it when it happened during I'm home since it becomes comforting and it makes me happy. 🤣

Mafias are all over the world. And most of them venture into many types of businesses, drugs, prostitutions, black markets. You name it, they all have it. The horrid life of being in the mafia. And one of them is the Baramee; the Baramee Clan had built a covert intercontinental trade group under the excuse of a high-end corporate "travel agency", and unsurprisingly, being in such a wild market meant they had made a lot of adversaries. They were the most infamous mafioso clan in Thailand and had the ear of anyone with authority and the reverence of everyone with sense. Thanks to his parents' worldwide influences and his own gorgeous looks, Beam, the only son of Master Baramee and the so-called "Khun Chai" of the clan, had made a name for himself as an international model, he walked the runway for the famous brands and designers all over the world and while he appeared to revel in a party life, he was not one to participate in the more unpleasant deeds his cousin preferred. He had a status to maintain, after all.

Forth had been in the service of the Baramee Clan since birth, his father had joined their ranks as a young man, and Forth was initiated as soon as he was old enough to be of even minor use. He spent many a summer of his childhood in the vast mansions and fancy penthouses of the Baramee Clan. His father died in service of the Baramees and while his exact job description was kept from a younger Forth, years later he was certain he was something of a runner or a debt collector. Neither job had a long life expectancy in the business.

Once he came of age, Forth completed his conscription (Thailand's military service) and come back to the Baramee Clan to begin his training to become a member of their elite security force. He outrivaled and rapidly caught the eye of that boss of the clan who is Master Baramee himself, nonetheless, he found himself assigned to protect not Master Baramee, the Master's brother, or even the Baramee heir instead he was assigned to Intouch, the Master's nephew.

Intouch was an immature, tenacious young man. Forth spent most nights in high-end clubs and the early morning hours carrying his drunk ass to his suburban flat. He was a free spirited in all ways; drugs, alcohol and sex. Trips on his father's yacht often became reckless jet skiing pleasure trip in the dead of night often times doing something outrageous. He didn't get it from his father who was as well-thought-of a businessman as he could be, trying greatly to show that he was just as skilled of running the company as his brother.

Master Baramee's brother's life had been cut short only weeks ago, explained as an accident involving his private plane crashing. Intouch had not been there but soon descended into a bottomless despair and became even more self-destructive. Weeks after, he died in a terrible car crash, his body so burned and having sustained such damages that they could only recognize him by his jewelry. Forth anticipated he would feel some remorse over losing his entrust, but he couldn't precisely blame himself when the man basically committed a suicide. Not even a day after the memorial, he was called in and directed he would be reassigned to Beam, Master Baramee's only son and heir.

"Beam is a lot to handle." Park tip off the second he heard the news which was that very day as he drove Forth to the enterprise's building. He was Master Baramee's main driver and the company chatter. He knew everything about everyone who was anyone at Baramee Group of Companies.
