SOLD TO THE MAFIA | SAILUBPON

CHAPTER 17

The evening air was warm, the sun setting behind the skyline of Bangkok as Sailub stood by the window in his office, looking out over the city.

It had been a long day, filled with meetings, calls, and the ever-present responsibilities of running one of the most powerful empires in the world.

But now, as the evening settled, his thoughts were on one thing and one person, Pon.

Pon had been quieter than usual lately, and Sailub had been trying to figure out how to show him just how much he truly meant to him.

His heart ached every time he saw Pon staring at him with those big, questioning eyes. He knew he had to make things right in a way that was unforgettable a way that would prove to Pon just how deeply he cared.

Sailub smiled to himself as he pulled out his phone and made a few quick calls, arranging everything he needed. He had planned this carefully, hoping it would be the perfect surprise.

Meanwhile, Pon was at home, curled up on the couch in a soft sweater, a mug of tea in his hands as he scrolled through his phone. He had spent the day in a quiet, peaceful haze, his thoughts often drifting to Sailub.

They'd been through so much together already, and despite everything, Pon still couldn't shake the feeling that something big was coming something that would change everything.

And it wasn't long before his phone buzzed with a message from Sailub: Get dressed. We're going out tonight. I have something special planned for you. Wait for me.

Pon's heart fluttered in his chest. There was always something exciting and unpredictable about Sailub, something that made his life feel like an adventure.

But tonight felt different. This wasn't just a dinner, a simple date it was something more.

Pon quickly freshened up, slipping into a soft black dress that hugged his frame perfectly.

His thoughts raced as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. What was Sailub planning? Was it a surprise? The excitement mixed with a tinge of nerves.

But he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of longing. Whatever Sailub had planned, he was sure it was going to be unforgettable.

As he stood in the living room, waiting, the doorbell rang.

His pulse quickened, and he opened the door to find Sailub standing there, looking as handsome as ever in a tailored suit.

His expression was a mix of mystery and amusement as he looked Pon up and down with approval.

"Ready to go?" Sailub asked with a smile that made Pon's heart skip a beat.

Pon nodded, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Where are we going?"

Sailub simply took Pon's hand, leading him outside to the waiting black limousine. "You'll see."

The drive was smooth, the city lights flashing past them as they made their way through the streets.

Pon sat in silence, his hand resting in Sailub's, the tension of anticipation building between them. It wasn't until they arrived at a private, secluded location as an elegant rooftop restaurant that Sailub turned to Pon with a grin.

"This is where the night begins," he said, his voice low and full of promise.

They stepped out of the limo, greeted by the soft sound of live music and the glow of candles illuminating the terrace.

The place was a beautiful and exclusive rooftop restaurant with breathtaking views of the city.

The air was filled with a sense of elegance and romance, and Pon couldn't help but gasp as they walked toward a private table set for two, surrounded by flowers and dim lighting.

Sailub pulled out a chair for Pon, his eyes never leaving him as Pon sat down. "I wanted tonight to be special," Sailub said, his voice full of sincerity. "You deserve it."

Pon's heart swelled at his words. Sailub had always been so intense, so driven by power and ambition, but there was a side of him that Pon cherished the side that was tender and caring, the side that had swept him off his feet from the very beginning.

As the waiter served them their dinner, the night unfolded like a fairytale. They laughed, they talked, and for the first time in a while, there was no talk of business, no talk of the pressures of the world.

It was just them twi people, enjoying each other's company in the most romantic setting.

After dinner, Sailub stood and offered his hand to Pon, a playful glint in his eye. "Come with me," he said, leading Pon to the edge of the rooftop, where a small table was set up with a telescope aimed at the starry sky.

Pon looked at Sailub, confused but intrigued. "What's this?"

Sailub smiled. "I thought we could share a quiet moment together. Just you and me."

Pon's eyes softened as he took Sailub's hand. They sat down together, the cool night air surrounding them as Sailub guided Pon's hand to the telescope. The stars above were clearer than ever, and as Pon peered through the lens, his breath caught in his throat.

"It's beautiful," Pon whispered.

Sailub smiled, leaning closer to him. "Just like you."

Pon's heart fluttered in his chest, and he turned to face Sailub, his expression soft. "Sai... what is all this? Why tonight? Why all the effort?"

Sailub took Pon's hand, his gaze tender but intense. "Because you're the most important thing in my life, Pon. I've spent so much time caught up in everything else, but I want you to know that you matter more than anything. You deserve the world, and I'll do everything in my power to give it to you."

Pon blinked, feeling overwhelmed by the depth of Sailub's words. He had always known Sailub cared for him, but hearing him speak so openly, so vulnerably, made his heart ache in the best way.

"You don't have to do all this, Sailub," Pon said softly, his voice full of emotion. "Just being with you is enough for me."

Sailub's lips curled into a gentle smile as he cupped Pon's face, brushing his thumb over his cheek. "I know," he said, his voice almost a whisper. "But I want to show you just how much you mean to me."

And with that, he leaned in, capturing Pon's lips in a kiss so tender, so full of emotion, that it left Pon breathless.

The world around them faded, and for those precious moments, there was only the two of them lost in the warmth of each other's embrace.

When they finally pulled apart, Pon looked up at Sailub, his heart racing. "I love you," he whispered, his voice filled with the truth he had been holding in his heart.

Sailub smiled, brushing a strand of hair from Pon's face. "I love you too, Pon. More than you could ever know."

The night stretched on as they continued to talk, laugh, and enjoy each other's company, the city lights shimmering beneath them.

And as they stood there, on the edge of the rooftop, Sailub knew that no matter what happened, this was the start of something new a chapter in their lives that would be filled with love, passion, and endless surprises.

The romance, the thrills, and the love they shared would continue to unfold, and Sailub promised himself that he would never let go of the one person who had completely stolen his heart.

Pon.
