"Drop me and Donghae at my house and go back to the compound. Make sure the stuff arrives there safely" said Jake once they got in back to the Defender.

Luca looked at him in surprise, then he let out a sigh, "The brat's new Jake, the loccation of your house and the TFC compound should be strictly-"

Luca suddenly stopped talking abruptly when he heard a bullet being clicked into place, he quickly looked back and saw Hyukjae pointing the gun at the back of his head.

"Do as I say or else, Im pretty sure I can replace you with someone else" said Hyukjae sofly snd Donghae felt the hair at the back of his neck rise.

"As you command Boss" said the man tiredly and accelerated the vehicle.

**********

It was a manor house. The walls were lined by black stone and it must've been hell old and important in the past.

As Donghae walked down the main hallway, he saw huge portraits of ancient Maranzanos staring back at him.

"This is my family...but I really don't give a shit about them" said Jake suddenly; looking at him.

Donghae looked at the him and smiled, "it would've been hella creepy if I was walking down here alone"

Jake came and stopped infront of a picture of a young couple; the Italian man must've been in his mid thirties and he was well built and handsome while the his wife looked extremely young. The striking thing was that Jake looked exactly like the man, but with the slimness and graceful mouth of his mother.

"Your parents Boss?" asked Donghae and Hyukjae nodded.

"This was painted before I was born" he said "good thing too"

"Why?" asked Donghae curiously.

"Because the night they got murdered, the police weren't expecting a child to be in the family, my mother hid my identity pretty fucking well"

Donghae felt a pang of pity for the boy, atleast Donghae had his mother, Jake had no one for him.

Besides, he was not the one responsible for your father's death, it was his father, should you really be taking revenge from him? asked a soft voice inside his head.

'Someone's got to pay' thought Donghae savagely as he followed Hyukjae into the heart of the house.

"This is my room" said Hyukjae; taking him to a huge room that had king sized bed with ox fur tapestries hanging over the bed frame. Otherwise everything in the room had an antique and priceless feel to it.

Hyukjae tiredly sat down on the bed and looked at him.

"The lady with fingers like talons" he said suddenly; and Donghae looked at him in bewilderment.

"Her name is Madam LaVerè" said Jake in an emotionless voice, "She owns extremely high assets and-"

"I don't want to go with her" said Donghae suddenly and cringed,

What the actual fuck are you doing Donghae!!! You are NOT supposed to talk when he is talking!!

But he hasn't been able to help it, it was as if his body took control over his mind at that moment, he had never intended to speak out like this!

Hyukjae gave him a surprised looked, but didn't say anything. Donghae gave a thankful sigh,

If Luca had been there, he would've definetely shot him.

"I'm sorry for speaking like-" began Donghae but Jake cut him off

"Find someone and tell them to bring me a damn coffee and tell them they'd better be quick" said Hyukjae; flopping down on the bed, "I'm fuck tired"

It took an age for Donghae to actually find someone in the house; because the house itself seemed endless, but when he finally found a maid, she looked at him in astonishment.

"Who are you?" she asked, gazing at him.

"I'm master Maranzano's new bodyguard" said Donghae sheepishly.

"Oh" said the old woman handing him the coffee, "I thought you looked a bit familiar to say the truth"

Donghae didn't dare move, he'd never thought that he looked similar to his father.

"I'm sure you are mistaken" he said desperately.

"I might be" said the old maid "there aren't many people here who speaks polietly like you do"

Donghae blinked and without saying anything he took the coffee cup into his hands.

"To whom is this? I can tell a maid to bring it up for him" she asked.

"For the Boss" said Donghae. "It's ok, I can take this"

"Funny" said the old woman quietly. "He never drinks coffee"

Donghae quickly went out and took two steps at a time to reach the second floor and opened the door into Hyukjae's room.

But when he entered, Donghae found him sleeping. His breaths were gentle but Donghae noticed the light strain in his eyes, as if he was pressured by something.

Donghae carefully kept the coffee mug on the table and silently came and stood over Hyukjae's sleeping body. His hand slowly went to the Title 18 he was holding on his coat and Donghae took it out.

'Come on Donghae! This is your only chance! Not many people saw you and the window is damn fucking open! you might never get a chance like this in the future'

He slowly raised his pistol and aimed it to Hyukjae's forehead.

'Time to end this shit' thought Donghae and he soundlessly clicked the bullet into place.

He stayed like that for a few seconds and his hands began to tremble. Something held his hand from pulling the trigger. Donghae didn't know what it was...guilt? Fear of being caught?...or was it...

Donghae looked at the boy and felt sympathy coursing through his veins. Jake must have gone through hell when his parents died...He dropped his hands with a sigh and threw the gun on the bed.

'Thats one opportunity gone...' said a voice inside his head and Donghae ignored it.

Suddenly Jake woke up with a start and his hand came crashing up to his chest, he looked lost with wild tangles of raven black hair falling wildly over his blue gray eyes.

Hyukjae's eyes wandered around the room and and finally rested on Donghae.

"You?" he asked in disbelief and Donghae took the coffee cup and gave it to him.

"Yeah me" he said "you wanted coffee so I brought you coffee"
