Pls check for the previous chap. Wp notifications unreliability.. sigh a pet problem.
Let's begin

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Forth watches as Krist stands in full attention and constant onguard mode behind him, beside the mahogany lunch table of the huge Rungroj mansion , his mask on, dark sunglasses on, unrecognisable in his poise, oozing extreme professionalism....

The man perpetually checking his surrounding and in tune with all that is happening around but refusing to meet Forth's eyes or anyone's eyes for that matter..

Forth sighs, inaudibly, Krist has stopped sleeping in his room and even stopped decently talking to him since that day in the "F" hotel meeting room.. Krist is angry at him will be a highly understated word in all intent and purposes ..

Krist has basically shrunk back to their pre relationship(?) days .. aloof, stoic, emotionally dark and the most tortuous part of it all,. vehemently silent except clipped necessary words only thrown in here and there gracing Forth's ears. ..

But Forth has to give Krist credit, the man's loyalty is unquestionable.. though he had stopped sharing his bed or meals with him .. yet he cooks meticulously all of them, to cater to Forth's health and taste .. though sleeping on the room's couch, as usual he keeps his constant guard..

The impending visit to the mansion had expectedly triggered Krist's nightmares, which obviously he had tried to hide, but in vain from Forth..

Krist had taken his prescribed medicines and all but pushed away Forth when he had tried to soothe or cajole him out of the tortured memorabilia plaguing him constantly or the sheer fury he is keeping bonded in his heart against Forth's what he presumes sadistic fun..

Forth will gladly take all the rough sex and punishments but this Krist avatar is a mental torture of a different level..

Krist had even ignored Forth through Forth's own demons of night, plaguing him more since Singto had sassheyed into their peaceful scene,

though Krist threw the medicines and sleeping pills literally on Forth's face but he made sure his boss had them and slept off, before retiring to the damn couch, huffing, puffing and grumbling throughout the ordeal..

Krist had even put away his own self preservation and accompanied Forth to the mansion, just because he doesn't trust anyone else around Forth, guarding him.. now tell how Forth can stop himself from falling more deeper for this amazing man! ..

" So .."

Mr Thek Prachaya Rungroj, clears his throat breaking Forth's own train of thoughts..

" You want a tour of this mansion before we settle for our talk Mr jutturapuram..it's 18 th century built and then renovated ten years back just before my elder son Nuwa did his first breakthrough role.. I have a full room dedicated to his awesome achievements in movie business .."

Forth watches Singto's expression, but never dares to take a peak at Krist..the painter visibly flinches at his father's unapologetic praising tone for that demon of his deceased son..

Forth observes unamused, that Even Singto doesn't dare to steal a glance at Krist as his father nonchalantly keeps on mumbling about Nuwa and their production companies various blockbuster movies and earnings in billions ...

Singto feels lucid, almost feeling the whole environment surreal, he is beyond surprised Krist agreed to accompany Forth and again stepped inside this mansion..it seems the younger really does care for this mafia/ businessman..he is not really caged by the underworld what Singto had naively presumed at first..
