It was early in the morning. Too early.

I stir beneath the crisp white silk sheets and turn to hug the petite figure beside me. But it was a cold spot.

I open my eyes and adjust to the light. Fourth's gone.

I look around the room that screams the opposite of my usual demeanor. I was alone in my unusually big bed. Just like how I was a year ago. But the only difference is that once I get downstairs, I will find Fourth.

I take a quick shower and head downstairs.

As I open the door to my bedroom, I hear muffled noises. Conversations.

I quickly make my downstairs and find Fourth....dad??!

"You're the reason Gemini has become like this. I raised to be an honorable CEO and the best mob boss with the prettiest wife. But you've ruined it. I've raised him to be my-" Wasting no more time, I cut him off.

"Your puppet?" I say as I descend the last few steps.

Fourth and Dad turns to look at me. Father's eyes were raging while Fourth's one held guilt.

Fuck

I couldn't bear to see him sad.

But I let him go for now.

"You've raised me to be your puppet, fathe- no. Mr. Titicharoenrak. My skin crawls when I call you father or someone calls me your son."

My father's eyes burned with rage and his eyes followed me as I walked towards him.

"And he...Fourth. He changed me. For the better. He gave me a reason to fucking live. After mom's death and finding out what you did...and do, I wanted nothing but death. That's why I injecting. Not because I wanted to live the thrill and be the most disgusting mob boss. But to die" I spat words at him. Words I had kept inside for a while

From the corner of my eyes, I see Fourth's wide eyes at the mention of me injecting drugs. Fentanyl to be exact.

"I don't care what you call it. I raised you to the best and most perfect heir to my clan. But this..." He gestured, swinging his finger between me and Fourth, "Ruined everything"

"This ruined nothing. Rather, it saved your empire. I stopped drugs because of him. You know what would've happened if he didn't come into the picture? You would be crying because your clan is losing while raising another puppet. And of course, swear at me when you visit my grave. I was dying yet, all you cared about was your empire."

I slightly tilt my head and see Fourth's hand shaking. I smiled. Was it because he didn't like the thought of me dying?

"Mom was so much better." I finish my sentence and he snickers.

"Your mom was too soft on you. Promising you ice cream after I scolded you only made you weaker! She was making you a damn sissy. Thank god I managed to kill her. In the most pleasurable way"

My blood ran cold.

All this time, I was working my butt off to find who killed mom when the murder sat right infront of me! And how can a person be so disgusting that he is fantasizing the way he killed mom still to this day! He...raped Mom.

"Get out" I say, my voice sharp.

"Gemi-"

"Get. The. Fuck. Out."

He exhaled deeply, turned around and left.

My blood was still boiling and I didn't notice when but Fourth led me to sit on the sofa. And brought me a glass of water.

"Gemini" His soft voice called, doing well in calming me down.

"Yes?" I say, my voice unusually soft. Especially after finding something like this out.

"I...I wanna finish everything at once and...live peacefully"

Something inside me nudged that he is about to spill why he avoided me.

"Tell me something truthfully"

"Say it, nerosa"

"I..." He sighed deeply.

"Natalie and the others at that house said that there was a girl named Blare. She was supposed to be sold to the "biggest shark" but some things happened. Was it...you? You're the biggest shark. Are you involved with these kind of things?"

Once again, my blood ran cold at the mention of the name "Blare"

I take a deep breath. I never wanted to talk about tins but if talking about this means we'll be back to normal, I'm wiling to announce this story to the world.

"When that thing happened...I wasn't the biggest shark. My dad was. At that time, mom was alive. Dad was...bored with mum and he wanted something "fun" so he got in contact with Natalie. And he saw Blare, liked her and wrecked her. I think Blare was happy because she is finally free. But yeah! Mom never knew about this. Not even my stepmom. Though step mom might have an idea considering she is now his wife. And I saw some scars." I sigh and explain everything.

His face was red in guilt but his eyes dilated as if he was scared.

I pull him into a hug and break it before speaking again.

"Don't be sad and worried okay?"

I kneel down before him and hold his hand. His eyes widen but he doesn't say anything.

"I might own you but make no mistakes, rose. You own me more than I do. You own my body, my mind and my god damn heart. I can never do something that will hurt you. If I do, I promise I will kill you and set you free, but please don't do anything to yourself. I will never forgive myself if you do. I'm so so so sorry if I ever mistreated you. Just know...that I- I don't wanna lose. You're my world. My nirvana. Please don't leave, Nerosa"

I finally finish. Though it was hard to speak considering I was now a crying mess. I look up at him and blink to clear my blurry eyes. He was crying too, sniffing quietly.

"I-" His voice broke and he tightened his hold.

"In sorry for doubting you" His voice was laced with guilt.

I reach out to wipe his tears and he leans into the touch.

Leaning closer, I take his lips in mine.

The kiss was slow and deliberate, with nothing to rush.

And we stayed like that. Cocooned in each other's embrace.
