I Love You Till Kingdom Come

Chapter 14

Vegas' Pov

Kai entered the room, concern etched on his face.

"You were right, Khun Vegas. Khun Korn is dangerous. He'll seize any chance to harm you. His games must be stopped, and soon."

"I know, Kai. After today, he'll be even more venomous. But his tricks will fail. I'll see to that."

"And Kinn and Porsche? Shouldn't they know about Korn's schemes?"

"Porsche already suspects Korn. As for Kinn... I'll reveal his father's true colors. But there are steps to take first. He'll see it all in time."

"But after what I witnessed today, Khun Vegas, there's no time to waste."

"I won't delay it, Kai. I must protect my family. Even if it costs me everything, they won't be at risk." My words trailed off in a sigh.

"Khun Vegas, I know you're capable of anything. But if you need anything, anything at all, just ask."

"Thank you, Kai. And for today, too. I'll call Khun Chen."

"Alright. I'll handle the rest, Khun Vegas."

The door burst open, and Kinn and Porsche rushed inside. Kai had already informed the bodyguard to alert them about the attack. I needed Kinn to face his father directly.

Their eyes widened as they saw the bodies strewn across the floor, blood pooling in a gruesome tapestry.

"Vegas, what happened?" Kinn's voice trembled.

"They tried to kill Khun Vegas." Kai answered, his tone laced with contempt.

"What? They stormed in here to kill you?" Porsche's voice was a sharp echo.

"Did you kill them?"

"Yes, he did." Kai replied, unflinching.

"Vegas, say something." Kinn's impatience grew.

"What should I say, Kinn? They barged into my room, tried to end me, and I defended myself."

"Do you know who sent them?"

"Yes. I made them talk before their last breath." I smirked with a bitter edge to my words.

"Who was it?"

"Your father."

"What?"- Kinn's shock was palpable- "What did you say, Vegas?"

"Oh, relax, Kinn. I was just joking."

But wait, Kinn. When you finally uncover your father's deeds, I can't wait to see your face. Call me a devil, but I'll savor that moment.

"Why would you joke about this, Vegas? Tell me, who's behind the attack?"

"You'll know when the time is right, Kinn. For now, I'll handle it. This is my burden to bear."

"Vegas, we can help you." Porsche offered, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder.

"There's no need. The only help I need from you is to keep this from Pete. He'll worry too much."

"Alright..." Porsche nodded hesitantly, withdrawing his hand.

"Vegas..." Kinn's voice lingered, his eyes searching mine for something unspoken.

Pete's Pov

I awoke to Venice's tiny fists patting my cheeks, trying to rouse me from sleep.

"Oh... good morning, my baby. Did you sleep well?"
