The next day when I wake up, Im still cocooned in his arms. I was still on top of him, my own body rising and falling, syncing with his breathing. Gently, I push a strand of hair away from his head. His lips tilted in a small smile and this time, I didn't pull away.

"Does this mean you're not mad anymore?"

"Mad about Ashley?"

"No. Mad about...I don't know. You've been giving me the cold treatment ever since that night."

Oh...the trust thing.

"I don't know" I shrugged and attempted to get off of him and the bed but I ended up falling because of my back pain. And a certain asshole started laughing.

"Stop laughing" I groan in pain and attempt to get up again. I was about to fall again but a strong pair of arms caught me just in time. Gemini picked me up in bridal style and took me to the bathroom.

"I can go by myself" I whine but eventually rest my head against his chest.

He put me down on the bathtub and started scrubbing. Completely forgot that we were still dirty. And the bed sheets. I don't the energy to do it.

"You're really beautiful" The usual deep voice was now replaced by something gentle, soft and almost caring.

It snatched me out of my thoughts and completely caught me off guard. But the sudden confession did make my heart flutter.

"You're....random"

"And you love it"

"I don't" I do. I do and I hate it. Hate how a man can make my knees weak by just three words.

After the shower, he dried my hair and put me in his shirt before finally settling me on the couch.

He went back upstairs while I sat "prettily". His words, not mine.

The morning went by in a haze. Gemini cooked breakfast, apologized again and promised that he would take me to his dad and break that contract marriage with Ashley.

But the cozy morning was over soon and now, Im dressed in Gemini's comfortable clothes.

Our first stop, Gemini's family mansion.

.
.
.

The big golden door opened and he pulled forward, going around the front yard before stopping between a big ass porch stairs and water fountain.

I fidgeting with my fingers and he squeezed my hand gently

"Don't be nervous. I promise I will protect you" He reassured.

I smile even though I was still uncomfortable and felt weird. From what I heard from him, his family is...brutal.

We stepped out and walked over to the open door. A man dressed in all black came up to us.

"Mr. Norawit! Welcome! Master is in his study and Ma'am is in her room." He said with a smile and then averted his eyes towards me.

Instantly, Gemini wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me flush against him.

"Thanks, Marcus" Gemini says, his voice colder than the Titanic ice berg.

We stepped inside and it made me feel like I've stepped into the beauty and the beast's palace. The walls were white with a touch of golden in some places, making it the perfect place to shoot a Disney film.

Gemini's grip on my waist tightened once we stopped infront of a big door. It was also decorated with white and gold.

He knocked on the door twice and a faint "come in" was heard.

We stepped inside and stood infront of Mr. Titicharoenrak. He was...scary. Everything around him was dark despite the light color of the mansion.

"Long time no see, son. How are you doing?"

"Oh please" Gemini scoffed, "Cut the bullshit. I'm skipping to the main part. Im not marrying Ashley. Not now, not ever! This contract....whatever that was is over! And you can't stop me."

His father's eyes raged with anger as he slammed his fists on the table and stood up. I flinched but Gemini didn't. He stood his ground.

"What is this?! Why is this coming from your mouth now?! You are 30!! You never acted like this when we proposed the idea! Why now?"

"Because at that time, I didn't have a fucking choice. A fucking purpose in life. A goal! But now I do and I don't wanna marry that chick"

"Don't bad mouth her!!" His father said before averting his eyes to me, "And who is this? Why is he wearing your clothes....Never knew you were so close with your assistant!"

"He is not my assistant" Gemini said, pulling me closer to him by my wrist.

"He is...." Before Gem could finish, his father scoffed.

"Is this your "purpose" in life? Oh come on, Gemini! I know you can do better"

"Shut your filthy mouth and don't insult Fourth"

Again, his father scoffed

"And you have the guts to bring him here? What if I kill him Gemini, hmm? What will you do then"

A shiver ran down my spine. I escaped one life-death situation just to fall into another? But unlike me, Gemini had a smug expression on his face.

"You wouldn't. Lay a finger on Fourth and I swear on your father Im ruining everything you and your father created. Not only that but Im also telling Step mom what you've done in the past with mom and Im also reporting you to the police. And don't worry about me, I'll make the call and Im also escaping" Gemini smirked as all blood from his father's face drained.

"Exactly what I thought!" Gemini exclaimed when his father remained quite.

"Now, you can date but I know you wouldn't. Goodbye father"

With that, Gemini grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of his study and the whole mansion.

"Are we really save, Gemini?" I ask once we are back at the car, going towards Gemini's mansion.

He smiled, placing his palm over my thigh and squeezing.

"We are, Fourth. I'll make sure of it"

I nod though there was still hesitation.

We pull up infront of Gemini's mansion.

Unlike Gemini, his mansion is a combination of white, Royal red and golden. Pillars were surrounding the outside and inside of the mansion.
A grand spiral staircase cascaded down from the second floor.

Even the beds were Royal. King sized bed with long, wide headboard. The first floor had long oval windows, where sunlight streamed through and casted golden hue on the marble floor. On one side, velvet sofas along with a fireplace in the middle took place. On the opposite side, oil paintings covered the wall and unlike the mansion, it was rather dark. The long, golden chandelier hanging from the middle is my favourite part of the house though. And a grandfather clock ticking away in the background.

But his garage was full of new sports car mainly. But the beige rolls royce was at the center, making it perfect for the house.

We enter the secret basement and I find Mark, Joong and Ohm already there. While Joong was working on his laptop, MarkOhm was busy flirting. Ohm stopped when they saw us but I still gave him a teasing smile.

Prim sat limply on the chair, her bruises getting darker and her head was hanging.

"Prim"

Her head instantly shot up, fear were visible.

"Your turn, baby" Gemini said, giving me permission to do anything. She was my case after all.

I thought of questions and one popped right away.

"Prim..." I start, crouching down to meet her eyes. "Who killed AJ, Ploy's boyfriend?"

Who do think it is? Leave your answers in the comments (it encourages me so pls) and also, in my country, we sometimes use the term "mother" or "father" to insult someone. So I decided to put it here as well. Sorry if it wasn't to your liking.
