Pam Saengtham.

Why is she not on the list? She’s supposed to be included at the end part of this folder with Pete’s name as his son.

I tap my fingers on table, leaning my back on the wooden chair as exhaled the smoke from my cigarette.

I called Win to ask him about that but he isn’t sure if there is indeed a woman named Pam Saengtham who exists. They usually use fake names in this business especially if they are working as a spy. I wonder if she did it too.

Why is she missing?

There are only two choices. One, she might be probably dead without having any connection in this kind of business or two… she’s somewhere that nobody knows.

“Find any information about the woman named Pam Saengtham.” I told Nop as I wear my coat heading to the Main Family’s mansion.

Uncle Korn… or should I say Khun Korn has been bugging me about the transfer of shares to their family. He’s already old yet still greedy for power as if he can still bring them on the afterlife.

Maybe Satan would forbid him in bringing his money.

On the other hand, it’s also good. I have the chance to see Pete.

It’s uncomfortable not having him besides me. The feeling of there is something missing is always there. Sleeping and eating alone is so weird. I’m not used on not having him with me.

He is surely comfortable in the Main Family, living his normal life… and not thinking of me.

I stopped by a shop that sells Southern dishes, orders three servings of his favorite curry and sweet and sour pork. I hope in this world, he still likes eating these foods.

When I arrived on the mansion, everybody’s eyes are on me, holding their guns and ready to fight anytime.

Can you all just stop staring at me and let me walk peacefully?

Khun Korn’s dogs are really active.

I didn’t let anyone follow me. I don’t have any intention to create chaos at this moment.

If I am going to steal something from them, it is definitely Pete.

“I am tired!” I saw the other bodyguard names Pol dragging himself on the floor with his face full of weird make-up.

“Let’s go! Hurry up before Khun No catches us!” The one with four eyes stated helping his friends to walk.

These weird people. I can’t explain why they both look weird and unpleasant to look at. Their face has some kind of weird drawings using a dark red lipstick.

I narrowed my eyes when I saw Pol’s face with a drawing of a dick. What the hell?

“Good morning, Khun Vegas.” The two greeted me in panic as they both stood properly.

Phi Khun is definitely crazy for letting his bodyguard walk around with stupid drawings on their faces using a lipstick.

Is this even a mansion of a mafia or a circus?

Everybody is just behaving like a clown.

“Are you looking for whom Khun Vegas?” Arm asked me and glance at the paper bag I am holding.

“Meeting with Khun Korn.”

I didn’t spend too much time on giving them attention and besides I don’t have anything to say either.

.

“Khun Vegas.” Arm called my name.

Still motionless, I looked at him in boredom.

He smiled a little that made me confuse. He pointed the direction of the garden which I am not going there. What does he want?

Is it really required that if your Tankhun’s bodyguard, you’ll get crazy too?

Pol tried to drag him away and started walking yet Arm remains pointing the garden.

“I can smell the pepper and spiciness, Khun Vegas.”

What?

“Pete is at the garden, sleeping.” Arm said and ran away.

Does he know something? Is he aware? I tilted my head trying to process what he just did. Do you know something, Arm?

Still in doubt, I went on the garden.

This place doesn’t really have bodyguards guarding as they all labeled it as a sacred garden. Phi Khun himself gave that nickname. This is just any normal garden with plants, fruit bearing trees, wild green grass and few benches.

When I reached the place, I immediately saw Pete lying on the long bench with his shoulder as his pillow.

His face faces the heaven above and how beautiful he is to look at.

I silently went to his direction and squat so that our faces will be close to each other.

The moment I had a clear view of his face- I am mesmerized and at the same time felt the loneliness I kept.

When I found out that Pete is alive in this world, I deceived myself and try to believe that it is okay.

But not now. It’s not okay to watch him from afar when he used to be so close to mine.

It is not okay that I need to sneak just to see him where in fact, I have him in the very first place.

I smoothly touch his hair trying to feel them at the very tip of my fingers.

I couldn’t help but to look at his solemn face. I stare at his eyes closed and hesitated if I should touch those thin yet long eyelashes.

I ran my fingers starting from his forehead, to the bridge until to the tip of his nose.

I moved closer, almost feeling his warm breath on my face. With my hands, I slowly caress his rosy cheeks, feeling that softness that takes my breath away.

My eyes darted on his pink luscious lips that I used to kiss all the time. With my finger, I rub his upper lip and focused on looking at it like a temptation that has been inviting me for a very long time.

I miss him.

With all of my thoughts occupying my mind, I didn’t think much if someone will see us.

I bent down and placed my lips on him. It was smooth, delicate and cautious so that I will not wake him up. I just want more that I have to clench my fist. I might do things more than this if I don’t stop.

I don’t want Pete to wake up and be uncomfortable.

Keeping myself composed, I adjusted myself and hold back.

Looking at him like this is already enough for now.

I don’t know where to start. I don’t know on how I should be close to him. Unlike before where he was forced I just can’t do it again. I won’t do the same mistakes and horrible things again.

This is a good start but I don’t know where I should begin.

“Pete! Pete!”

I heard Phi Khun shouting. I immediately walked near his direction to shut him up.

I want Pete to sleep and take a rest. I am aware on how tiring it is to be a babysitter of someone who has lived for more than twenty years in this world but still behaves like a three year-old child.

Pete told me that before. He also complains about his former boss’s attitude.

“What are you doing here?!” Phi Khun asked in a high pitch voice.

My ears almost bleed.

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Oi! You still have a foul mouth, do you?” He placed his hands on his waist. “Papa is waiting for you and why don’t you go to him?”

“Lower your voice.” I am buying some time so that he will not disturb Pete’s sleep.

Phi Khun is a different breed to the point that I don’t know what kind of human he is.

“Go now to Pa and why are you even near the garden? Do you also want to be a vlogger, huh? Trying a house tour in our place?!”

What kind of stupid things are you even blabbering?

“I need to find, Pete. I need him! Damn. I can’t do things if he’s not included!”

“What if you lost Pete?” I asked all of a sudden after hearing what he just said.

“What do you mean by that?” He asked and pouted. “Lost? Why? Do you have any plan to get him? You already messed with Porsche! Stop targeting Pete!”

This idiot. Do you even think I have bad intentions?

How can I even expect a proper conversation with someone whose brain functions once in a blue moon.

“Pete is strong so he will probably live a long life.”

Are you even sure about that?

“What if he dies early?”

Phi Khun looks at me from head to toe, his face shows how irritated he is. I am only giving you a hint on what happened to Pete in a different world.

“He will not die early, Vegas. He is the best fighter and can even defeat you.”

I chuckle after hearing that. You are right with what you said.

Pete defeated me and I willingly surrender myself to him.

“Why are you even curious about that, huh? Don’t mess with him.”

“I’m just asking.”

“If Pete dies early then there is only one reason.”

I gaze to Phi Khun and the naughty and child-like behavior was never seen for a second. The corner of my eyebrow rise as I try to figure it out what he is thinking.

,” he seriously said without even looking at me.

I pause for a moment, thinking what he just said.

I don’t really feel emotions as I am trained not to feel those but when it comes to Pete, everything can affect me easily.

I tighten the grip on the paper bag I am holding.

Did I just become his weakness? Am I the reason for his downfall?

After all this time, it is my fault. I keep ruining everything for him. I didn’t make him strong instead; I am the reason why he became weak. I don’t like that idea.

“Khun No. Why are you here?”

We both look at Pete with his hair still messy.

When he saw me, he just greeted me and went besides Phi Khu.

It was supposed to be me whom you keep looking for after you wake up.

“Just talking to this bastard.” Phi Khun said and held Pete’s shoulder. “Let’s go, Pete and let us play!”

“Wait!” I extended my hand that is holding the paper bag filled with his favorite dishes.

“Stop giving us a trap, Vegas!”

“Can’t you shut the fuck up?” I told Phi Khun. This guy just doesn’t know how to zip his mouth.

Pete stares at what I am holding that I need to give it to him. I held his hand so that he can carry it.

Just touching his hand for a second is enough to give me assurance that I can still be near him.

“I bought that but it was spicy.” I said without giving them a chance to ask me more questions.

The corner of my lips rose when I saw Pete opening the bag.

I saw how his eyes sparkles in delight and as those pink lips forms into the most beautiful smile that no one can be compared to.

“Thank you, Khun Vegas.” He said and smiled at me widely.

That smile suits him the most.

“Let’s go!” Phi Khun bitterly said as they both walk away.

“Vegas. Have you been here for a long time?” Khun Korn asked as Phi Chan follows him.

“I just came.” I lied and maintain an eye contact.

I saw him sigh deeply. What? Are you feeling old now?

“We should start our meeting. I also invited someone that you can be partners with.”

The way he speaks is like someone that is really concern. He can’t fool me. I know he wanted every piece of properties named after me and Macau.

A bodyguard came making the three of us stop walking.

“He is here, Khun Korn.” The bodyguard said.
