What lies underneath man's clothing [War Of Love Triology (Book 1)]

Chapter 17

Ashton's POV

It was already past 9:00 pm when Zyon returned home. While Laustre seems to be distancing himself

I never wanted for them to be like this.

" fox? "

" O-oh? Yes? "

" What's on your mind? "

" No, it's nothing important "

" What were you asking me again? " i said

I saw Krevius getting out from the kitchen together with Laustre while carrying a tray of desserts like cakes, tarts, ice cream, milkshake and some fruit salad partnered by Yogurt and juice

They placed it on the center table and sat infront of us and started eating

I turned my gaze on Zyon and caught him staring at me

" Yes? "

" If it's alright. Can i ask you a question? "

" About what? " i asked and tilted my head

I heard the sound of television playing but i payed it no mind

" Aren't you shock knowing that Krevius is an actual assassin? " he asked

The question i've been waiting for..

" Actually to tell you the truth. I wasn't " i looked up to him and saw him–or them. I saw them giving me questioning looks

" Before my parents died.. They were the best assassin and top spy on the Lune organization. Zeka Reina Voughan and Dimitri Nyx Voughan. Before they died, they told me the truth that they work for the organization. After that they went to execute the big mission that has been tasked to them and never returned. They came back as dead corpse. I was still too young to understand the things they've told me before they died. Only now that i remembered it, when i was old enough then i met Krevius.. Everything flashback like flood " i said and didn't notice that there was a lone tear that had escaped my eyes

I looked at their faces saw them gasping

" You're their child?! " Laustre said and pointed his fork at me

" Oh my–shit, i never expected to hear their names again! The legendary co-founders! " Krevius said and stared at me in amusement

" Did i say something wrong? Do you know who my parents are? " i said

" Damn yes! They were the most talented assassin and spy we ever had and they were my idols! " Krevius said and clapped his hands together

I shifted my eyes away from him and looked back at Zyon

He was shock and tearing up

" Z–zyon? What's wrong? "

" I–well.. I know uncle Dimitri and aunt Zeka. They were friends with my parents. They did told me that they have a son, but i never expected that their son would be you.. " he whispered

" I almost asked Laustre to investigate your and your parents background. But, it seems like i did the right thing for asking you first. " he said and smiled

I wiped his tears away

I simply don't like it seeing him cry

" They knew your parents? " i asked and that's when Laustre butted in

" Definitely! They were so close that they could be mistaken as siblings! " he said

" I really adore them so much but sadly they.. "

" Im sorry " he apologized and lowered his head

" No don't be. It's not like you're the reason they died. It was their enemies. I doubt that it was just an accident " i said

" Now that you've mentioned it. It's definitely not just an accident. It must be Westaneria's doing " Lau said and sliced a piece of cake

" They definishly did it " Krevius said while munching a spoonful of ice cream

" Brat, that's gross. " Laustre commented

" Let's not talk about this anymore. Ok? We should be enjoying this beautiful night " i said before drinking a glass of juice

" You're right! Cheers! " Zyon said before raising his glass full of milkshake.

We all raised our glass except for Laustre

" Lau, seriously. Are you turning into a gay like Zyon? " Krev asked

" What did you say? " Laustre said and raised his glass with us

We just all laughed at him, he's acting like kid sometimes

" I'm so sorry that we hid the fact away from you " i said

He only shook his head and gave us a small smile

" It's alright. I know that you did what you think was best for me. I was just kind of upset " he said and sipped his drink.

I made an eye contact with Zyon and we both smiled.

Laustre is very understanding and one of a kind although he may be a bit grumpy sometimes. But he's kind and reliable. That's probably why Zyon chose him to be his butler and probably the same reason why they became close friends.

" Thank you for understanding us " i said and he gave me a smile and nodded

After our celebration ended i went back to my room and took a quick shower

I sat on my bed in a daze

So they know who my parents were.. The Westaneria that they kept mentioning. Were they really are the reason why my parents died? Were they also the one behind the shooting incident? Because if they were, i won't ever forgive them. But shit, my parents were part of the organization founded by Zyon's parents?! And they were also a close friend of the Monzhua couple?!

I can't believe this. This too much information for me.

Information overload.

I needed time to absorb what they said earlier.

I laid down and closed my eyes when i heard a knock on my door

" Yes? Come in " i said in a sleepy voice.

I opened my eyes and saw Zyon carrying a pillow

" What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be asleep in your own room? " i said and faced him

" let me sleep here with you " he said and hugged me

I snuggled into his embrace and feel his warmth

" Goodnight fox. I love you " he said and hugged me tightly

Just wait a bit more, Zyon. When im ready, i'll tell you the exact same words..

" Yes, goodnight and have a good dream " i said before hugging him back.
