[Fort]
Fort never sees himself as someone who other people would say dominating or yet possessive. For all he knows he was never the 'I want it, I got it' type of person at least he knows there are things that he needs to work hard for but when Peat was introduced to him back when they were 7-years old, something inside of him was disrupted. Peat for better words was someone who inadvertently changed something in Fort, he was a force that Fort will never be able to understand, how he can have Fort tied around his fingers with just a pretty smile.
It was public knowledge that his family and Peat's family have been friends for generations but what wasn't public knowledge was when the engagement talks surfaced in his family, Fort was actually given options from different families, it was Fort who chose Peat, it was his own choice. His grandfather even joked that he was a real Sengngai, once he had set his mind on something it would be impossible to change his mind but of course, his grandfather made sure that Fort understood the implication of choosing his future partner. Fort would forever remember his grandpa's words which were.
"Your partner is your equal, even though your marriage is an arranged marriage it doesn't give you the right to look down on your partner. Be patient with them and make sure to protect them because you want to not because you're protecting the business benefits that came with the marriage."
From then on, Fort made sure that everything decision and everything that he did was all for Peat or if not, for the future that they will be sharing in the future, Fort could say that he had everything under control, or somehow that's what he thought but what he couldn't foresee was the people around them that bears greed and corruption in their hearts. This ultimately but the physical distance between him and Peat. He was afraid that those people would use Peat against him and in the end hurt them both. In the end, he did steer some of those malicious people away but also made his and Peat's relationship in an awkward position.
Fort just wanted to be strong and worthy of protecting Peat before anything else but instead, he is losing the very person he was trying to protect. Now, he needs to step up and make sure that whatever is left of their prior relationship could be saved, he selfishly wants to keep him on his side.
"Chaikamon Sermsongwittaya or best known as Boss, the youngest son of the Sermsongwittaya, studied in the UK since elementary he planned to take his degree in the UK but he changed his decision and decided to take his degree back here in Thailand. As for his relationship with Sir Peat, they have been friends since middle school. Boss, Peat, and Noeul were part of the buddy system that the international school had arranged for Sir Peat when he was sent to the UK to study. The trio all came back to Thailand to pursue their degrees, they also shared most of their university life together even though they didn't share the same courses. Right now, Boss overlooks 3 branches of the hotels that his family owns and at the same time an active actor in the entertainment industry. As for any intimate relationship, we still haven't had enough time to check but there were rumors that goes around that he might be in a relationship, and neither he nor his company had bothered to clear those rumors." The private investigator explained to Fort, while he was scanning the pictures that were sent to him by the investigator.
"how about the guy in the black van?" Fort asks, he had both of the guys investigated since it was the first time that someone had slipped from his radar and got close to peat. If he's gonna be honest, Noeul is the only person who Fort hasn't investigated privately, in a way, he saw and felt like he and Noeul shared the same sentiments. Fort wanted no one near Peat and Noeul was the perfect mother hen who doesn't take anyone's bullshit when it comes to Peat.
"the thing with the van, based on the plate number that we ran. it was Boss's Van. he always uses the Van to get to his scheduled work or if he just doesn't feel like driving." the investigator explained.
now that he knew that there were no two guys but just one, this somehow makes Fort more unsettled. how come they had been friends since middle school but Fort never heard of this guy or even seen a shadow of him around Peat, he would never know this guy's existence if he didn't go back home that Thursday night.
"If he's that high profiled, how come I have never seen him around Peat? And from what you are saying, they have been friends since middle school, so how?" Fort asked the investigator, puzzled by the things that he was presented with.
"Boss may be active on the internet but Peat and Noeul, who are the people who are close to him aren't, its hard to find any some sort of connection if there are no digital tracks and it also helps that Boss is both a public figure and a son of a well-known businessman, private things are easier to hide as long as you got trusted people around you." the investigator explains and this somehow makes Fort understand what kind of guy Boss was and at the same time, he had already planned how he can possibly put Boss in his place around Peat.
"Alright, thank you for these but I want you to continue to follow and dig for information about him," Fort says and he dismissed the investigator. there's a lot to ponder on. While he was deep in his thought, his secretary, Namtarn, came inside to probably remind him of his schedule for today.
"Sir, I've called your housekeeper in Silom, according to Auntie Sir Peat hasn't returned home but Sir Peat did text her that he will be staying at his friend's house for a while." his secretary informed him. Fort tried to brush away the nasty feeling that he felt when he heard that Peat didn't go back home after the birthday dinner fiasco. It never sat right with him that Peat's own mother would even recommend the changes in the arrangements. Fort has been clear with the arrangement and never once he had second-guessed his choice, never.
If you would look at it, the Chaijinda's aren't on the losing side, they got more benefits out of the arrangement as they will be comparing the benefits that his family got and will be getting once they got married. It was as if they are low-key hostile with Peat. Fort would always try to brush it off, it was his respect for Peat's parents but when his mom said those words while they were at dinner, he had never wanted to cut off the family and make sure that Peat would never step back in that house.
"Okay, let me know if there are any changes in my home." Fort thanks Namtarn and let her do her things.
Fort was again left with his thought running wild and the deeper his thoughts were, the more scared he feels. Scared that the only person whom he wants to be in his life totally leaves him because he wasn't enough and he failed to protect him.
He picked up his phone and dialed a very familiar number and it didn't even take three rings when the other person picked up.
"Let's do it." Fort simply said.
"Tell my men to proceed with the plan and tell them to be very careful, to not alert the enemies"
