Vegas' POV

[

"Pete...hold my hand! I'll get you!"

Why is he dodging me?

"Pete?"

Pete smiles at me in a cunning way and turns to leave.

"PETE!" I call out to him again, trying to reach him.

Suddenly, the hideous nanny Jenny appears in front of me. She clings to me, giggling darkly, her face all bloody.

]

"AHH! FUCK!"

"What happened? Pete asks me, startled.

"Damn woman...burn in hell!" I mumble

"What woman? Did you have a nightmare?"

"What time is it?"

"It's dawning...are you okay?" You are restless and sweaty.

"We made a fantasy come true..."

"What? What do you mean?!"

"That fucking nanny...she said we made a fantasy come true."

"Weird."

"It still bothers me."

"..." Pete looks at me with concern.

"Promise me you'll never do that again, Pete."

"Do what?"

"Make decisions without consulting me and risk yourself."

Pete is silent, his eyes trying to escape mine.

I hold his arms tightly and I am emphatic:

"Promise, Pete! We must share everything with each other! No more secrets! Look me in the eye, and promise for the lives of your grandparents, Macau and Venice!....and that idiot Tankhun too!"

Pete remains quiet for a few seconds. I grip his arm tighter.

"Okay, I promise."

"I won't forgive you if you break this promise. Even if it's to protect us. I mean it, PETE."

"I know."

...

I get ready to leave for the office. Before getting in the car, I talk to Nop.

"Have your men watch Pete 24 hours a day. I want to know every step he takes from now on."

"Alright, Khun Vegas."

"Nop, don't you dare betray me to follow Pete's orders again without telling me. I won't be merciful next time, whatever the reasons."

Nop bows to me, subservient.
