It has been five months since Jao Wichasak and Tharit Sunthorn were caught. A week since they were given a life sentence and stripped them of the Wichasak fortune. It was said that everything that Jao Wichasak own will now be handed over to his eldest son, who doesn't share the same views as he has.
Everybody was happy with the court decision. The Jamornhums and Vongviphans are celebrating the launch of the new branch of VMC in Krabi. All of their friends were invited at the inaugural party at the hospital and they are all staying at the resort owned by the Kiraguns.
There was a lot to celebrate for. Peach's body is responding well to treatment and she is now on her way to recovery, despite losing her hair from chemotherapy and being stuck on a wheelchair for now. Jaron and Rich were getting stronger each day, same goes for Bjorn and Ren. Kyros had just recently graduated as second in their batch. Kongphob and Arthit are so proud of their eldest, so is everyone else.
Beam was sitting with his parents and Forth's together with Peach, Krit and Chon. They were talking about random stuff when Peach spoke up.
"I found something about Aran" she said and caught their attention just as Forth sat beside his husband, coming back from the restroom.
"What about that boy?" Brissa asked.
Just then there was a commotion were the buffet table was. There, standing in a waiter's outfit, is Aran who has his arm wrapped tightly around Jaron's neck and a gun pointed at his temple. Security were quick and alert to surround him with their guns aimed.
Forth and Beam rushed towards them and held their men back. They were afraid for their son's safety. Rich was already there trying to calm Aran down and convince him to let Jaron go.
"What does he have that I don't Phi?" Aran asked Rich with a deranged smile as he rubbed the gun up and down Jaron's face. "I loved you first and dedicated my life for you but you just ignored it! I could've given you much more than he can! I bet he hasn't even given himself over to you when you could've had me over and over!" He exlaimed.
Jaron tried to wriggle around to escape Aran's clutches but was unsuccesful. Every movement he does, his captor seems to tighten his hold more, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"It doesn't work that way Aran" Rich begged. "Jaron is everything for me. I love him with my whole being and without him I am incomplete"
"Put the gun down Aran" Beam said as he went near them while he gestured for their men to put their guns down.
Aran turned his attention towards Beam but still did not letJaron go. He aimed his gun towards the Neurosurgeon and glared at him.
"You!" He shouted. "You are the cause of everything! What does Jaron have that I don't? All of you chose him over me! Why don't you want me?" Aran sobbed out.
Beam was confused. He doesn't understand what Aran was pertaining to. "He's my son of course I'll choose him always" he said calmly as he tried to approach them once more.
"What about me? I'm your son too but you never gave a damn about me! You left us and chose him still...you never cared about me!" Aran wailed as he tightened his hold around Jaron.
Beam was taken aback with Aran's accusations. He didn't know what the boy was talking about. "Aran let's talk about this civilly. You don't need to this"
"No! Jaron needs to be gone then at least maybe you and P'Rich would notice me!" Aran yelled like a mad man as he tightened his hold on Jaron's neck and pointed the gun towards his captive's temple once more.
He was about to pull the trigger when Bjorn smacked him with a gun on his head from behind. Aran stumbled from the impact and made him loosen his hold on Jaron. The eldest Jamornhum kid hurriedly freed his brother from Aran's hold.
Aran was focused on his verbal spat with Beam that he failed to notice Bjorn sneaking up on him. Rich saw him and helped Beam to distract Aran so he wouldn't notice Bjorn.
Jaron was succesfully freed from Aran's grip and Beam rushed to check on his son. They failed to notice Aran gaining his stance back and was aiming the gun towards them. He fired a shot while screaming, "You both need to die! Maybe then, I'll matter"
Several gunshots were heard simultaneously while Beam tightened his hold on Jaron, protecting him. Bjorn remained aiming his gun at Aran and fired a shot the same time he did. Rich was able to snatch a gun from a nearby guard and did the same.
The crowd has dispersed and took cover. When all the gunshots subsided, they heard Brissa wailing. Everyone was in confusion to see if she was hurt and looked around. There at Beam and Jaron's feet lay Boone, bleeding to death from gunshot wounds. Not far from them, Aran was down as well in a pool of his own blood.
It was Forth and Kongphob who sprinted into action as everyone else were too shocked with what happened. They ordered for a stretcher and the operating room to be prepared. Just then, Phana and Thanu hurriedly went inside the hospital so they could get everything ready for Boone's operation.
When Beam came to his senses, he quickly attended to his father's wounds and did every first aid that could be possibly done. Boone weakly gestured for his eldest son to come closer.
"If I don't make it, remember this son. I love you so much. Take care of your family, mom and siblings" Boone said, barely a whisper.
"No Dad! You can't say that! Please" Beam sobbed out as he put pressure on one of the wounds.
"All of this chaos started with me. If the divorce didn't happen, that man wouldn't have wormed his way in to our lives. Maybe this way, it would totally end" Boone replied as he closed his eyes.
"No Daddy!" Beam wailed as Bren could be seen supporting a weeping Brissa while Blake held a stunned Bahiyyah in his arms.
The orderlies were having a hard time taking Boone into a stretcher since Beam wouldn't let them touch his father. Kit helped Bjorn took hold of his Papa while Forth accompanied the orderlies and Boone.
Jaron was crushed in a tightened hug by Rich as he checked him over and over. Lem, Park and Ming took survey if there any other casualties. Lam and Mark were the ones who took charge in overseeing the orderlies handling Aran. Wayo and Arthit were comforting the Kiraguns while Tul and Max faced the authorities who responded to the distress call.
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Brissa was sniffling every now and then while Bahiyyah remained motionless in Bren's arms. Beam was leaning on the wall across from where the others are seated. They are patiently waiting for Boone's operation to be finished.
They all looked up when they heard Peach's wheelchair being wheeled in by Krit. They were with Lem and Wayo.
"He didn't make it" Wayo said as he stopped beside Forth. "He sustained fifteen gunshot wounds. Some hit his vital organs which caused his death"
"Beam" Peach called out softly. "I know this isn't a good time but did you understand what Aran was accusing you of earlier?"
Beam broke out from his stupor. "Phi" he responded. "I was wondering about that too. Would you have any idea?"
"That was what I was about to tell you earlier before he created that chaos" Peach replied.
"Why did he accuse me of abandoning him and why did he insinuate that I am his father?" Beam asked.
"Apparently that was what he was made to believe. Do you remember the girl that Tharit declared you engaged with back then? That was Aran's mom and Tharit is his biological grandfather" Peach answered.
