A Marriage Contract •Kim x Macau•

chapter 13

Kim's pov

"Goodnight"

"Night"

I looked at Macau once again , his back turned to me , he's a mystery person , hiding many things

"Is there anything you need?"

Macau asked me , I wanted to ask him about his scars , about those scars on his back

"Well , I.."

I let out a sigh , a confused look on his face , I was hesitating , was I doing the 4ight choice by asking him this?

"What is it? Don't hesitate"

"Well , the other day  I entered your room"

"Yeah?"

"And well , I um saw you shirtless..and your back.."

His face shrieked , I could see fear in his eyes , his eyes were wide , I could actually feel that he was scared by that moment

"I-"

"It's alright , those scars were made by my father , he used to beat me as a child , till I grown , he never stopped"

His father? I was quite shocked hearing something like that? I mean I know how their father are but I never knew he would abused his youngest child like this

"He would beat me whenever Vegas wasn't around , my brother never noticed it , well now it has stopped"

"Vegas never noticed?"

He shaked his head

"I don't let him in my room unless he knocks or I don't stay shirtless infront of him"

That's so horrible

"I'm sorry for asking something personal"

"It's alright , I mean..we're friends"

Friends? I looked down , what was this burning sensation

"I'll be going"

I went to my room and close the door behind me , letting out a breath , I layed on my bed , to think he went through something horrible like this saddened me , It was getting hot in the room , I opened the window which is to my balcony , the fresh and cold breeze hit my warm skin , I went back to the bed and drifted to sleep , it was a tiring day but I enjoyed every moment of it

3 - 4 months later

It was currently evening , I had some work to do for Kinn , It's been a some months since Macau moved in with me , I noticed that we got closer , for the time being , I just watched him from afar , I never realised it , I was being a stranger to him thinking that he was just a person who can only think of themselves , upon realising myself that my heart may beat for him

I let out a sigh , I unlocked the door , I gave Macau a spare key for the house , locking the door whenever I go out because I know there might be some strangers who will want to shed my blood , I live in danger , I always have , even if I'm taking a break from the mafia world , I still get myself into danger , enemies and all , no one can ever get out of this job , I saw the lights off in the kitchen , I assume Macau must be sleeping at this hour

I went upstairs , passing his room..I saw the lights of my room was on , I furrowed my eyebrows , what the hell? Was someone in there? Macau? But I remember I told him to not enter my bedroom or workroom , I believe he would listen , I mean there's no harm for him to go in my bedroom or workroom but it will not be good if he messed with my papers , I walk lightly , not making sounds , opening my door , my eyes moved around the surrounding , nothing was missing , everything was in it's place
