MIDNIGHT DAYDREAM

Alternative Ending: 31

"I think it's time that we have a change in leadership of this house. Don't you think so?"

Mong looks deeply at Kim, who is sitting on a high chair with a face that is void of any expressions. Kim looks bored. Like he doesn't really care what's going on with the world around him. Like the whole world could burn before his eyes and he wouldn't even blink.

But as one of earliest followers, Mong knows that is exactly the face people should be careful about.

Kim is a high functioning sociopath with a high IQ. He tends to stay in the shadows if he can have a say in it. To make Kim want to sit on the throne needs a catastrophic incident. Mong thinks this is one of them.

It's been a month and there is no lead to Porchay. Kim grows restless as he can do not much as only one of the heirs to the throne. He needs to be careful in approaching the Suthivanischak, as the leader of that house is not taking him seriously even though Kim gave him so much money in the election time.

The youngest son, with an alive father and a brother as the acknowledged shadow leader and the rightful heir of the family, cannot put the amount of pressure that Kim wants.

Kim already made his move from day one, when he woke up from that hospital bed and found out Chay was gone.

He already contacted the region leaders and elders, seeking pushes and pulls that he needs to ascend the throne, by passing Kinn. To be honest, people love Kim's style of leadership more than Kinn. For them, Kinn is way more too dandy to their liking. Yes, Kinn is able to get down and dirty, but still, not as much as Kim. Kim loves to get down and dirty, not just can.

Kim is proved to be more brutal and effective than his father. He gets everything and anything done without a word in the shortest amount of time and resources as possible. If most people were already agreeing to make him the leader of the house when he was 15 years old, what do you think people will choose now?

"Do you want it now, Sir?" Mong carefully asks.

Kim is not answering right away. He sips his coffee first, then asks, "Is Kinn here?"

"Yes, Sir. He is in his room with Khun Porsche."

Kim nods. "Do you have the guys I told you about?"

"Yes, Sir. They are in the cell."

"Good. Bring them here."

Mong nods. As he walks away from the room, he informs the rest of the group of the current situation, that they might act on that kudeta they have been talking about right as this moment. The answers are short but that get the group in their own respective positions without a buzz.

Kim likes to do things quietly after all, and they know their boss well.

The two people requested are Secretary Tan, Kim's father's personal secretary, and Pat, his father's IT guy. It took the team almost a week to locate them and bring them to the compound. When one of the team members asked why they weren't execute instantly, Kim smiled like a cat who played with mouses he preyed. It took another week for Kim to bleed every informations they held. Then he just left them there, in one of the most awful cells the family had. They were forced to watch death daily, but nobody touched them. Kim wanted them to feel forgotten in that forsaken place.

When they are brought in front of Kim, they are only a shell of what they once was. Kim's lips tilt a little smile on that.

But the smile on that beautiful face has a reverse effect on the two guys before him. They begin to cry when they see the smile.

"Khun Kim, please," pleads Secretary Tan, "I've already told you everything I know and as the incident with Khun Porchay ..."

He doesn't get to finish his sentence as Kim's boots shut his mouth up. Tan's lips bleed furiously.
