CHANCES

FORGIVENESS

Footsteps echoed loudly as Kim walks through the cold hallway of the mansion. Lights were dimly lit as if it was a scene in a horror movie. Well of course, it would be now as words spreads like a fire; talking about the news that the youngest son of the Theerapanyakul Family will take over. Many are intrigued as well as terrified. Many are scared and some are just waiting for their chance to out throw him, or so they thought.

His eyes were the same color as his suit accompanied by a black turtleneck inner accentuated by a silver necklace with a pendant of Saturn. His hair was neatly ponytailed on his back as he also wore ear cuffs on his left ear. His very presence literally screams danger as the people in the mansion, including his brothers, try not to eye contact with him.

His presence screams Kimhan Theerapanyakul, the youngest son of the Main family and now the highest of them all. It was a wise choice for Kinn to have him as his shadow; he never regretted forcing his younger brother to take the dirty jobs. Now, he is standing in front of all the people the Theerapanyakul family knows; showering them with his intimidating presence. He needed to do it. He needed to establish authority. If his brother Kinn is a leader with a soft side for his men, then it is the other way around for him.

The moment he said he is coming home, that was the moment his other side, Wik, left the world that he loved. It was for the better, he thought. If becoming the head of the Main Family will protect his angel, then he will gladly accept it. He would do everything, every means, to protect him. He cannot afford to see his angel cry or hurt anymore. He would kill, with his own hands if he must, just for the sake of his angel.

"I told you, I will be handling both matters for the Main and Minor Family."

He sat down on his chair in his new office in the Main house. The room was the exact opposite of his personality. It was a café-inspired room filled with books and art materials. It was well-lit and the ambiance is light. The furniture was all combination of light brown and white. Frames hang in the wall with no order, but is pleasing to the eyes. Flowers were also abstractly arranged on the vase, giving it an aesthetic look. A soft lively jazz was playing on the background making the people entering the office feel the relaxing vibe.

It was supposed to be Porchay's office in the Main house. It was all designed according to his taste. The room reflects his very personality and that became the reason why Kim took the room. At least, he could feel his angel's presence here.

"You won't be able to handle the pressure." Kinn said to his brother while putting an ice in his glass. He plans to have scotch so early in the morning.

"You may be thinking I didn't think this through. I have always been pressured by our father my entire life' something like this won't affect me Kinn."

And he was right. Among them siblings, Kim was the coldest of them all. Kinn was worried about his brother, he would grow up emotionless and doesn't have any empathy to anyone else. Their father made him like that and as the older brother, Kinn failed to teach him things as he was also pressured by the responsibilities of being the heir.

Kinn let out a sigh. His brother will surely turn the Mafia world upside down.

"Okay. Just let me know if you are having problems with our people; you know what I mean." Kinn told his brother then took a sip of scotch.

"There won't be any problem." Kim reassured his brother. Kinn only smiled back.

"By the way, did you and Porchay had a fight?" Kinn asked out of the blue. Kim was caught off guard. Just by hearing his angel's name makes him so weak on his knees.

"You know that shrimp can't handle the Mafia; I just told him that on his face. He doesn't have what it takes to be the head of the Minor family. He will be eaten out alive by those stupid people. This kind of set up is already okay and I have already told Porsche not to force his little brother. That kid does not have the ability, to be honest. He is too innocent and kind to be part of the Mafia. He is the exact opposite of his brother. He won't be able to defend himself, unlike his brother. He's just going to be a burden to his bodyguards. It would be better for him to just stay abroad and chase on his dreams of becoming a singer like he always does."
