Soften My Heart

CH (30) Doubt

Guard 1: Mr. phoom might be the one who killed khun pooh's parents

It got so quiet in the living room to the point not even their breathes can be heard, the only sound was the noises coming from the TV as the show was still on.

the guard was so nervous, he was sweating so much not knowing what to expect. he knows he should have waited until his boss was alone, he made a mistake, he should have insisted on not telling but it's too late now.

he lifted his head to glance at khun pooh, the alpha was staring at him, his face looking pale, his eyes wide and it looked like he isn't breathing anymore. 

Guard 1: s-sir are you ok?

pooh: how did you know that?

the alpha's voice was so low and calm to a frightening point

Guard 1: I.. I found these sir

he handed his boss the reports he got

Guard 1: Actually sir, I was looking into some old files related to Mr. krittin and I found out there was some deals with someone called Mr. phoom  but the deals stopped exactly one year before the attack, I guess that's why it was not in the original files

Guard 1: also one more thing sir, here

he handed his boss another report with a picture 

Guard 1: does that man look familiar, sir?

pooh looked at the photo in his hand, his eyes widening while his heart was beating so fast. the same kind of fear he experienced before as a child was there again. that was the man with a huge scare on his face, the one that locked eyes with him before running away with the others after killing his parents

Guard 1: that is one of Mr. phoom's men and this is a photo for him at the warehouse from before but he wasn't there when we attacked the warehouse sir, so I think he is still alive

Guard 1: my conclusion sir is that Mr. phoom was actually Mr. krittin's rival and he is the one responsible for the attack 16 years ago

slowly pooh got up from his place and walked two steps before speaking in a low voice

pooh: you are telling me ... that all these fucking years.. I 've been searching for something that was right in front of my damn eyes?

pavel: p-p'tin?

pavel: p-p'tin what do you mean?

pavel was quiet the whole time, he was listening to the conversation trying to make sense of what was said. the air was full of tension making his stomach drop. how can his father be responsible for that. was he living a lie his whole life? with someone pretending to love him? or even worse, pretending to be a good person?

pooh: you're still asking that!

pooh: your fucking dad is the one who killed my parents, pavel!

pavel: b-but my father wouldn't do that..

suddenly pooh grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him roughly to his feet from his place on the couch

pooh: are you seriously still saying that!

pooh: after everything!

pooh: should I give you back to him, HUH?!!!

pooh: So you can see for yourself all the things he wants to do to you, maybe then you'll see what kind of a monster he is!!

pavel: p-p'tin "sob" i-it hurts
