Be my S̶̶l̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶ || Book-I ||

beginning

In the middle of the forest road, five cars screeched to a halt, surrounding a terrified man.

Black-suited men encircled him, their faces expressionless. The rain poured down heavily, mingling with the blood flowing from a nearby body.

As a car door opened, a bodyguard rushed out, holding a sleek umbrella. Out stepped a man in an expensive suit, his face twisted into a scary smirk. He approached the shivering man, gun in hand, and placed the barrel beneath his chin. The man trembled, his eyes wide with fear.

"Tsks, tsks, tsks... scared?" the suited man taunted, removing his black glasses. "Khun—"

Before the man could beg for his life, the suited man kicked him in the stomach, cutting off his words. The man doubled over, gasping for air, as the suited man loomed over him, his smirk growing wider.

"So you think you can betray me behind my back" he said low venomous voice and shot that man with giving him chance to speak.

"Clean up this mess," he said to his right-hand man, Nop.

Then, he turned and walked towards the car, but before getting in, he saw the man trumbling in fear.

"You better pay your debts," he warned, "or else you'll be the next one to suffer the consequences." With that, he got into the car and sat down.

Pete pov

"Pete...Pete...Oi, Pete!" I heard Porsche scream, his voice piercing through the fog in my mind.

I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. The classroom was now empty and silent.

The whiteboard still displayed the lecturer's scribbled notes, and the clock on the wall read 4:45 PM.

Porsche stood beside me, stuffing his books into his bag. His expression was a mix of concern and frustration.

"You again did nightshift?" he asked, shaking his head as he tucked his notebook away.

"How many times have I told you not to do it? What about your studies, Pete? You can't keep pulling overnighters and then working day shifts too. You'll burn out."

I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the fatigue. The lecture had apparently ended a while ago, and I'd dozed off in my seat.

"Sorry, man," I muttered, standing up and stretching my stiff limbs. "I just needed a quick nap."

Porsche's lecture continued. "You're not thinking about your future, Pete, Your grades are slipping, and you're constantly exhausted. When's the last time you had a decent night's sleep?"

I raised my hands, surrendering to his concerns. "Okay, okay. I get it."

As we walked out of the classroom, Porsche's expression softened.

"I just worry about you, bro."

I nodded, feeling a mix of gratitude and guilt. "I know, i appreciate it. It's just...I need the extra cash."

Porsche looked at me. "You're already working two jobs. When do you have time for yourself?"

"It's not just about me, Porsche. You know my paa right. My paa...he's an alcoholic. And he's accumulated a ton of debt over the years." Porsche's expression turned sympathetic.

"Mom left us when I was a kid, and Dad's been become alcoholic ever since. I've been trying to pay off his debts, but it's like throwing money into a black hole."

"That's why I've to do those jobs so that I can pay off dad's debts " I sighed as we walked out of class. As we strolled down the corridor, my phone suddenly rang.

I frowned as I saw my father's name flashing on the screen. my father never called me. I immediately answered,

"Hello, Paa -" But before I could even finish, he cut me off.

"Pete, come home fast." His voice was laced with a sense of urgency, and then the line went dead.

I stood there, frozen, my mind racing. What could be wrong? My father never called me, especially not like this.

Porsche noticed my expression and concern etched on his face. "Hey, Pete, everything okay?"

I hesitated, unsure of what to say. "I...I don't know. My dad just called me, told me to come home fast, and then hung up."

Porsche's eyes widened. "That's weird. Do you think something's wrong?"

I nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. "I have to go. Now."
