What Am I?

VEGAS'S POV

Kicking the door open, I saw that bastard straddling Pete on the ground. There was blood on their foreheads but Arm clearly looked conscious unlike Pete who's eyes looked lost and in pain while the hem of his shirt had ridden up above his chest.

I was furious.

I couldn't deny it anymore.

Arm looked at me with a psychotic look in his eyes as he smiled widely. He leaned down back close to Pete, stuck his tongue out and slowly licked a line up his neck.

I raged.

"Hia, guard the door for me, would you?" and with that statement thrown at Kinn, I gathered force on my fists as I took long strides towards him and swung at his face.

It sent him tumbling and finally off of Pete's body.

This is not enough.

Without giving him any time to register, I let him take another blow on the same side of his face.

And then another.

And another.

I released my anger on him as I watched his face constantly swing to the side, groaning occasionally hit after hit.

Then he laughed.

Blood on his teeth and bruises on his cheek as he attempted to look at me, "All this for some slut that you gave away and regretted?"

Slut.

The word somehow made me furious.

I wanted to shout in his face that Pete was anything but that.

But then again, wasn't I the one who tried to send him to Arm?

Wasn't I the one, under the desperation and impulse of wanting to seek revenge, used him to my advantage?

Revenge.

I almost forgot about the reason why I did all this.

I shouldn't have my mind elsewhere.

I've come this far.

Not right now at least.

I gripped onto the collar of his shirt and yanked it upwards to position his face so that he could look me straight in the eye.

"I change my mind. 70% ownership of the Area Expansion Project," I spatted out.

He laughed again, "You just won't give up, will you? How many times do I have to repeat that we don't need you! And do you think my sister will ever let me get away with it if I do let you in on this project?"

There it is.

I smirked, "You're awfully scared of your sister, huh? I wonder what she'd think about the money you stole from the fake charity projects you've been lying to your whole family for years about?"

And then the smile on his face disappeared.

Bingo.

"What are you... How... How did you know?"

"Well you see, the only person in the family who has been protecting you and tolerating all your dumb shit is now dead so... obviously no one's there to cover it up anymore."
