Part 5 || Mafia's Illegal Love: The End of Us

"Hey, Nunew."

Nunew turned towards the voice. James was already inside the building with that meaningful smile of his. Then, James looked at Zee who was lying on the bed with both of his injured arms. James approached Zee.

Nunew start to panick.
Nunew: Don't touch him, James.

James approached Zee and he looked at the face with a look full of anger.
James: Zee Pruk Panich .... the heir of Panich Group. The richest mafia in Thailand. How are you ?
Zee: James ?
James: Oh you still remember me ? Hmm ? This is interesting.

Nunew started to fear what would happen later. James seemed to be full of anger in his nature. He could guess that James would do something to Zee. Without wasting time, NUnew took out his phone and wanted to call Yim.

James turn his head and look at Nunew.
James: What are you trying to do, Nunew ? Do you want to call our team ? You know what ? If you call them and they know about Zee are here ... then you are done. You know what I mean ? 
Nunew: Damn you, James.
James: What ? I came to greet him. Your beloved husband.

James looked at Zee. Nunew looked very surprised as soon as he saw James pull out his gun from his shirt pocket. Without wasting time, Nunew then ran towards James and took the gun. Nunew looked at James' face. He pointed the gun at James.
Nunew: Touch him or I will break your neck.
James: Hey, put down your gun. This is me, Nunew. Your friend.
Nunew: I choose my husband over a friend.
James: What do you mean ? You choose a killer ? 
Nunew: ....

Without Nunew realizing, James quickly grabbed the gun in his hand and he pointed the gun straight at Zee. Zee, who was still injured, was not yet able to fight the feeling involving the movement of his hands. Nunew started to panic. He looked at James who was starting to approach Zee.
Nunew: James, please calm down. We can discuss it here. No need to be like this. James ... please ...
James: Discuss ? There is nothing to discuss, Nunew. Your husband killed my father. The most important person in my live after my mother died but he took my father's live. He took away my happiness. What do you want to discuss anymore ? 
Zee: I never killed your father. You misunderstood me, James. My people who killed your father at that night.
James: Your people means they are under your control. Am I right ?
Zee: Trust me, James. I'm not the one who control them. 
James: Trust you ? Huh, nonsense ! You took away my happiness. That's mean ...

James turned to Nunew pointing the gun at him and said, " ... I will take away your happiness too."

"He's our boss's husband !!! Put down your gun from him !!!"

A group of men dressed in black were seen surrounding the area. James looked around then he looked at Zee.
James: I see ... you called your people to help you ? 

Zee got up from his bed and he walked towards Nunew. However, his steps stopped as soon as he heard the sound of gunshots. His knees shook as he saw Nunew fall on the floor and his stomach was full of red blood. James just shot Nunew.

Nunew looked at Zee and smile.
Nunew: Hia ... (trying to holding on)
Zee: Nhu ...
Nunew: I miss you, Hia. I want to be close to you for a long time.
Zee: I miss you more, Nhu ...
Nunew: Please .... please remember ... I miss you always and I love you so much ...

Finally, Nunew closed both his eyes. Zee's tears flowed as soon as he saw that Nunew was no longer looking at him.

The sound of gunfire was heard again. Zee's men shoot James until James is lying on the floor. However, James did not give up and he even pointed his gun at Zee who was hugging Nunew's body tightly. James looked at Zee's face as he held back the pain of a shot in his chest.
