Chapter 11

— PETE.

"Are you serious?! You've liked Vegas even before I got here? Oi! How come you haven't done anything to him yet? Why are you only talking now?!" Porsche exclaimed after he heard my story.

I looked at him and hit him in the head, "He liked you, dummy! Plus, I was fine with just seeing him in a safe distance." I shrugged.

"I'm literally with his cousin."

"All the more reason why he likes you!" I countered.

Porsche raised both his hands up and laughed, "Alright, okay! Okay, I get it. I still don't know if he deserves you, but okay, whatever makes you happy!"

I rolled my eyes.

"But what if something happens! What if you get stuck between saving only one of them, Kinn or Vegas, who'd you go for?" He asked me out of nowhere.

It caught me off guard and I couldn't answer immediately. Khun Kinn gave me a smile and nodded at me.

"No need to rerun the choices when you've already made your decision. You don't have to choose when you've already chosen long ago." Khun Kinn said meaningfully. "I've known since you stood up for Macau, I've known since you stood up for Vegas. I'm sure they deserve you, as for them? It's not up to us to tell you whether you deserve them or not."

Khun Kinn was acting extra smart today, and I liked it. Even Porsche wooed at his partner's words, I smiled and thanked him with all of my heart.

"It's okay with me if you go with him after all of this. Tankhun will understand, he loves you the most, Pete."

I felt like crying, I was so happy. Vegas and I could be happy, he could leave with me. We'd be under the protection of Khun Kinn, but out of his orders. We could take Macau with us! We could be happy with each other, live a peaceful life. We could be a perfect family.

That was until...

All of us were alarmed when someone suddenly pointed a gun on my head. Slowly, all of us stood up, looking at the person who found our hiding place. It was a bodyguard, someone under Vegas' father, I've noticed he's one of the people who never follow Vegas' orders, he must be a direct guard of Khan.

We all slowly left the cave and saw the men we sent out to be safe first, caught and tied to a tree. Ché had fear written on his face when he locked gazes with me, I tried to reassure him a smile, but failed because I was hit on the face with the gun pointed at my head.

I fell down the ground and looked at the guard, he had a grin seeing blood on my lips. He pulled me by the hair and slapped my cheek once before gripping on it hard. He threw my face away and pulled me up to tie me with the others.

I looked at him deadly, but I couldn't do anything. Especially when even Khun's life was in trouble. I prayed that Vegas would do something to help us, at least just Ché! But when Vegas finally appeared, he didn't seem the same.

His face had a slap mark, his neck was seen with a strangle mark. His eyes were bloodshot, he didn't even notice he walked pass me. I wanted to shout at him to wake up, I wanted Vegas to look at me again like how he used to these days.

I glared seeing Khan finally show up looking like a boy scout.

"Well, well, well. Look at this, I finally outsmarted the ever so one-step ahead major family." He mocked Kinn.

His eyes jumped to Porsche and gave him a blow on the stomach. It pulled a vein on Khun Kinn, he cursed and yelled at his uncle to leave Porsche alone. He only stopped when Porsche fell down on the ground, spitting blood out of his mouth.

Kinn's eyes was filled with anger and sorry for his lover.

"Leave him alone!" I shouted.

I clicked one of Vegas' buttons, he looked back with shock in his eyes. His father walked his way to my direction, like his bodyguard, he gripped on my face by my cheeks.

I wiggled like a worm to push him away when he tried to kiss me. What the fuck?!?!?! I used my head to hit his face, his lips bleeding in the process.

"You bitch!" His eyes traveled from behind me, the silver ring I was wearing reflected the sunlight and it caught his eyes. "So that explains it." He said in a low tone.

I received kicks throughout my torso, legs, and I bet if he could reach, he'd kick me on the face too. I looked at Vegas while my head was dangling, he had his fists clenched, but he didn't do anything.

I smiled bitterly. The man I love's father was harassing me in front of him, but he wasn't doing anything. I wasn't going to give him, I smirked at Khan and spitted blood at his shirt.

He was about to hit me in the face again when someone received it in my place.

"You insolent child! Get out of my way!!" He gripped Macau's collar and threw him away.

Vegas quickly ran to his brother's side with full concern.

"Macau! Don't... Don't interfere, I'm okay." I yelled.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" He was going to give me another punch in the face, but Macau held his arm to stop him again.

Macau was still injured, he couldn't even stand straight. "Stop hurting P'Pete! Leave them alone!"

"Macau!!!"

I yelled when Khan pushed him away, walking past Vegas who was begging his father to stop whatever he was doing. "Pa! Stop, Macau is injured. Hurt me instead, please!"

"Oii!! You bastard, Khan!! Weren't you harassing me?! Why are you taking it out on your helpless child? Fight someone your own size!!"

Khun Kinn yelled at me to stop, he said I was only getting Macau in more trouble. They all yelled at me to calm down, I couldn't!! How could I? Macau, who already received the explosion for Ché, was now receiving hits and attacks in my place!!! I saved him from bullies, there's no way I'd allow even his father from hurting him!!

I opened my mouth when Macau was forced to kneel in front of me by his father. Khan hugged him really tight.

I released a deep breath I didn't realize I was holding.

I was stunned when I heard a gunshot, blood splattered on my whole body, and Macau's lifeless body falling in front of me.

"Ma– Macau..." I whispered. "You monster!!! How could you do this to your own son?! Macau!!!! Vegas!!!" I yelled.

From the side, I saw Ché crying seeing his friend's eyes lifeless, staring into the nothingness. Vegas was on his knees, stunned, lost.

"Vegas!!!" I called him, but there was no response. He was just like an empty body, unable to function. "Vegas... Vegas, Macau is gone!!" I cried. "Macau!!!!"

Khan hit me on the head again, "You cry like you're the one who lost someone! Macau's death is on your hands!!"

I stared at him, full of remorse. I have never hated anyone in my whole life, but I'd gladly see myself to hell just so I could give Khan the pain he deserved. Death was too easy for him and hell was too cold. I'll bring it to him myself, I'll make sure he'll burn and feel every pain he's brought upon Vegas and Macau.

Suddenly, Khan fell unconscious on me. Kinn removed the rope on my hand and the others were fighting with the other guards. He told me to go, and I ran towards Macau.

"Macau. Macau, I'm so sorry... I'm sorry, Phi is sorry Macau..." I cried while carrying his corpse.

From my peripheral vision, I saw Vegas stand up.

"Vegas! Help me carry Macau to the yach– what are you doing?"

There he was.

Alive.

Anger in his eyes.

Pointing his gun towards my direction.
