EXCHANGE OF HEARTS [BL]

CHAPTER 32

Atlas clenched his jaw as he stared down at Von who's grinning at him.

Atlas was irritated to this man because Von won't stop grinning. Isn't he not tired of stretching his lips?

"Are you stupid, Dear Von? You really want to negotiate with me?"

"Nah, I'm not stupid, kiddo. I am genius, you know."

"You looked stupid to me though," Atlas shrugged his shoulder and he sit back to the couch. "Why do you think I will accept your offer? You work for my mother-"

"I didn't work for anyone," Von cuts him off with a smirk. "People work for me, Atlas."

Atlas's brow furrowed deeply. Tension was growing up in his body.

"You-" he inhale deeply as he tried himself to relax. "Why did you sent those pictures to my mother?"

"That's what she wanted-"

"Because you work for her!"

"Kiddo, if you listen earlier. I said, I didn't work for anyone, yet people work for me. I am not doing it because I am puppet of your mother, but I am the one whose manipulating your mother." Von smirk evilly.

Atlas caught off guard at what he'd heard. He stared at the man who is now seriously staring at him too.

The smirking Von was now gone and a deadly Von appeared.

"What do you mean?" Rile asked.

"It's TMI," Von smirked again and then sighed. "I'm really tired of narrating a long story, you know. You will eventually know it. Not now, but soon." Von yawned.

"Are you saying that you have a plan for my mother?" Asked Atlas, he never blinks since Von said it. Atlas was damned serious too.

"Plan? Uhm, yes. I have. I have plenty of them,"

God. This man was very honest!

"What?" Atlas's brow deepened.

Von tilted his head like he's making Atlas to be irritated.

"Why would I tell you, mhm?"

Fucking fuck.

Atlas cracked his neck and rolled his shoulder.

"Oh? It that so?" Asked Atlas, this time he's a little bit relax, but the darkness in his eyes was still visible to the people who's looking at him.

Atlas stood up and walk towards the pitcher. He poured water to his glass and drank.

"Are you planning to kill my mother, Dear Von?" Atlas lifted his one brow.

Von matches his stared and wiggled his brow once before he shrugged.

"Mhmm, I did not have plan for it," Von pouted and looked up at him again. "I will not kill your mother because I know you already dig your mother's grave."

Atlas gripped tightened around the glass. Veins are showing as he gripped the glass tightly.

"I am considering it after you sent those pictures to my mother,"

"Well, I'm just doing what she'd said-"

"And you really put that girl in danger?! Why did you include that girl to this mess?!" Atlas voice thunder around the corner.
