Twin's Desire

Chapter 13 - Knives

Vegas POV

Today marks the beginning of the quadrimee for this year.

Everyone looks so dashing and handsome and happy, while me?

I'm mad. Fuming. Mad.

I don't understand at all!

Israel might look like he's so in love with Pete but that's not how he acts like when he's in love!

He wouldn't tell the world who he's in love with as long as he lives on the mafia world!

That's the reason why no one saw him with that German brat because he's got so many enemy that he wouldn't take the risk.

But look at him! Flaunting Pete for everyone to see! He's putting Pete in danger!

He's a Theerepanyakul heir! He's on the same stage with Kinn and Kinn had appointments with their private doctor twice a month due to near death experiences.

Plus the fact that he knows I like Pete and he enjoy my frustrations as he flirt with Pete right in front of my face is downright outrageous!

I don't know what's going on with that big crazy head of his but I feel like I might really strangle him to death one of these days.

"Please, good sirs. Go to your respective places and the event shall begin in five minutes." The head staff announced and we entered the room and took our seats to the table of heirs.

"Pete sit to my side" My good brother told Pete and Pete agreed reluctantly.

As Pete slowly seat beside my brother, he was looking at me. I can not read his eyes, and I feel weak whenever I look onto those eyes.

His eyes screams temptation. I can not afford to lose my control and start undressing Pete here, no. That will not do. I must discipline my mind and control my emotions.

I looked away and looked around me.
In front of me are the heirs from different influential cities holding the most influential companies that could make other companies bow down in no time.

They all look gorgeous and their aura screams sophistication and power. Of course, that includes my aura. Merlin's beard! I'm a godly!

But what caught my attention the most is the guy from the picture Nop send me the other night.

Nachtnebel Schneider is sitting right before my eyes...

Looking sophisticated and beautiful in his mint green suit. He look so dashing.

Small figure and feminine gestures, that's my brother's type.

"Phi El." I called my twin.

"Yes, Vegas?" Phi El answered.

"That guy. On a mint green suit, what's his name." I asked and I saw Pete snapped his neck to look at me.

Why do you look like you just heard me talk for the first time?

"That's Nachtnebel Schneider. He's a German. he goes with the nickname Hase because he said that his name is a bit hard to pronounce for his friends." Phi El casually said.

"He said? To you?" I asked him.
But most importantly...

"Hase? As in Hase of Aegeus Corp? Hase, the nerdy guy back from university?" I asked in awe. Now way. They look so different! University Hase looks nothing compared to this beauty in front of me!

I saw how Phi El's expression turned into panic for a moment before he composed himself and replied

"Yes. Exactly the Hase from university. Regarding his nickname, when I was assigning the heirs their building floor, he said that I could call him Hase since his name's a bit hard to pronounce and since we've been acquaintances before. Haven't I told you that? I was having a hard time saying his name back then so he told me to call him Khun Hase."

That was smooth you son of a moron.
He composed his self too well!

"Why have you taken an interest on him?" Phi El asked playfully.

"Yes." I replied and that made his smile fade.

I saw that, dear brother. I've got your weakness now.

"I mean look at that. He's so beautiful. He's totally my type! Plus he's got no escort with him. See? His chair for an escort is empty. I bet he's here to get himself a husband. Oh, I remember. He wants an arrange marriage with you right?..."

"But since you have Pete here and I've got no one. Then maybe I could convince him to marry me instead. After all, we got the same face." I said and I saw how his jaw clenched and his fist crumpling the hem of his suit.

That's just a teeny-tiny emotional blow, brother. If you decide to get away from my way of pursuing Pete, I might beg for your forgiveness later.

As I enjoy my little win looking at my brother with sense of victory, Pete suddenly stand up.

"I'll just go to the restroom, Khun." Pete said without looking us in the eye and immediately ran out of the room.

I was about to stand up when I heard the speaker spoke.

"Good day ladies and gentlemen. This day marks the 53rd quadrimee held here on Isla de la Paz. I welcome you all!"

Pete POV

What was that? Why am I feeling like my heart's being pierced by thousands of knives?

I had to hurry and get out of that room when I heard Khun Vegas spoke about marrying Khun Hase.

Why of all people, it was Khun Hase who caught his attention. Didn't he know that Khun Israel loves Khun Hase?

I saw how Khun Israel tensed when he heard what Khun Vegas suggested.

I hope they won't fight over one man.

I washed my face and calmed my heart. Why is it hurting by the way?

Oi! I'm stressed from all of this elite gatherings! I haven't heard gunshots for ages I'm starting to forget what it sounds like!

Let's just go back to the room. I've been gone for a while Khun Israel might be worried.

"Ouch" I said as I hold my shoulder. Someone crashed to me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Khun...?" The man trailed.

"Oh, no! I'm just an escort." I said

"Oh, I'm Caleb. Caleb Alonso. I'm from Spain." The man introduced himself and extended his arm for a shake.

"I'm Pete. Pongsakorn Saengtham." I said and shook his hand.

"I'm very honoured to meet you Pete. I've never expected to see que belleza."

He said and I got confused with the last words.

Kibiyesa? What's that?

"I suppose you're in a hurry, Pete. I'll see you later." Khun Caleb said and went inside the restroom.

Another day, another handsome bae.

I went inside the hall immediately and looked for Khun Israel.

"Where have you been?"

I turn around and saw Khun Vegas looking at me with his usual angry eyes.

"I went to the restroom, Khun. I was feeling dizzy." I lied and bowed my head.

"Israel is on your left. Go to him now." Khun Vegas said and walked away.

But before he could walk any further I grabbed his hand.

"And where are you off to, Khun Vegas?" I asked him, desperate for answer.

"I'm off to Khun Hase to greet him." Khun Vegas answered and pull his arm away from my hand.

I watch Khun Vegas approach Khun Hase. They clincked their glasses and smiled sweetly to each other.

There goes the feeling of being pierced by knives again. I took another glance on Khun Vegas's direction one more time and went to Khun Israel.

You've got work to do, Pete.
