VEGAS'S POV

Nothing was confirmed until I had proof.

It didn't make sense for Pa and Ma to be the ones responsible for the existence of the secret society.

If they were, Zee wouldn't have taken me hostage if they at least respected my parents.

Yet there I was, ankle clasped and chained to a wall in a cell underground a huge warehouse in the middle of nowhere... sitting right next to Pete.

The whole time we were on our way here, we were blindfolded. I knew struggling was of no use and it'd only jeopardise us. We were clearly outnumbered and I wasn't worried one bit that Kinn wouldn't be able to find us.

Kinn had always been good at finding people.

It just depended on how long he'd take to find us.

And I had to admit that I was truly curious about this secret society that aimed to ruin our whole societal structure.

How stupidly unachievable this dream was not just in Thailand, but countries all around the world as well.

Because this had always been the way.

People had always been categorized.

And now they want to change that for Thailand?

Pathetic.

But what if I did find proof that Pa and Ma really formed this society? That they played a part in this dream of changing the society?

If all this time, I had been going against their will...

Standing on the wrong side of the battle the whole time...

It only meant that there was someone else behind the reason why Arthit was there that night and killed my parents... manipulating me.

Someone far more powerful and clever that he had placed every detail of his scheme in a way that he wanted.

Then the whole time, I had been fighting his wars and at the wrong side.

And that meant that I had truly failed as a son.

"Khun Vegas?" Pete's voice was a little raspy, probably from all the dehydration and uncomfortable cell we were in right then.

I was glad that our hands weren't restricted to any chains like our legs were, at least we were allowed to sit next to one another closely and walk within the cell for a limited distance.

There were a total of six men guarding our cell, I counted on our way here once they took off our blindfolds and I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

Pathetic.

How did I end up here?

The Vegas Kornwit Theerapanyakun, of of the Heirs of Theerapanyakun Family...

In a cell underground, sweaty and bloody, chain on his ankle.

I ignored all my mockings of myself for now and decided to focus on the only person keeping me sane there, "Yes, Pete?"
