Love and Loyalty COMPLETED (Love in the Air / Kinnporsche/Tharntype)

Chapter 42

"Payu, I've never told you my family name. I'm Rain Kirigun Phawattakun, son of the chief of the Phawattakun family... If it doesn't sound familiar to you, I'm sure your uncle will immediately recognize it, although I suppose he already knows it" Rain said trying to stay as calm as possible, knowing that he needed to have a clear mind if he wanted to handle the situation successfully. Payu looked at him for a moment, he took a deep breath and then he asked:

"May I ask you why you're telling me this just now?"

"I should have told you sooner, I know... but I've always tried to live my life hiding this name. I know that a lot of people would say that such a reputation could make a lot of people bow before of me, but that's not what I want... I want people close to me to like me because of who I am, not because of my father's power..." Rain replied.

"I believe you" Payu responded with a smile. However Rain was still so scared and certain that Payu would be mad at him, that he had already prepared another argument to convince him, so he said:

"I swear, Payu... I didn't even know that you were a heir of the Theerapanyakul, I can assure you that I've never faked my feelings for you just to get... wait, what?" Rain added at the end as he finally realized that Payu didn't seem to be mad at him, quite the opposite.

"I said that I believe you. I am ready to support you and our relationship, no matter what my family will say about it. However I suppose it would be better for everyone if you tell them the truth at the very beginning of our dinner. They surely already know it, but if you confess it on your own, it could make things a lot easier"

"But... aren't you scared that your family may not accept it?" Rain asked confused and preoccupied.

"Not at all. You see, my family obviously doesn't like traitors, and I suppose that your family works exactly like mine, but at the same time they don't take long to move on from someone's past" Payu explained.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Honey, there are a lot of examples that would prove my point, but just to point out one, consider that Vegas tortured Pete in his basement while he worked as a spy for Kinn's father. I won't get into details though, never"

Rain's curiosity surely started going wild as he heard that, but he also understood that he could trust his boyfriend and that despite the initial reactions, he would still get his support. Then Payu looked away and seemed a little more worried.

"Is there anything else?" Rain asked as he noticed the different expression on Payu's face.

"Yes, I'm afraid that they will probably ask you about your current relationship with your parents, especially your involvement in their business. That's a point you should make clear from the beginning, otherwise the situation could get a little tense"
