Vegas couldn't say he was just jealous and angry due to Pete's absence. For the first time in 6 years, he could sleep so peacefully. The sole reason for that was Pete's presence. Pete being close to someone and the mere idea of people being able to watch those sexy legs of Pete was infuriating.
"You wanted privacy.....fine then"
Vegas has stepped forward screaming at everyone to leave the kitchen and close the door behind them.
Macau regained his momentum and looked at Vegas.
"Phi calm down..."
"Troy take khun Macau too.."
A bodyguard stepped forward and took him away. Macau walked away reluctantly still a bit intimidated by his brother. This was not the brother he knew. His brother smiles while killing people. He does get angry but is always well-spoken which has been enough to send a chill down anyone's spine. It was the first time he heard his brother speak like a brute, like some local street gangster.
Pete still stood with his head held high.
"What did I do?"
Vegas has cornered him to the table with a nasty smirk on his face. Remembering how Nop followed Pete's command. How his brother spoke up for
"You are way too loose than I imagine..."
Anger builds up in Pete's body. He pushed Vegas away.
"If I do have such a bad character then why can't you let me leave... "
"......."
Macau was only able to listen to this part of the conversation and all the servants too who were standing near the corridor. The sound of things thrown around could be heard from inside. Then silence followed. Feeling something was wrong Macau entered the CCTV room and told everyone to leave.
He couldn't listen to what was being said clearly but he saw Vegas forcefully making Pete to bend while he used a belt to hit his back.
Pete bit down on his scream not even making a sound and his legs gave up after 10 strikes. He probably fainted. When Macau ran to the kitchen Vegas has already taken Pete in his arm and took him back to his room and told his assistant to cancel everything on schedule
Phayu looked around asking Nop where his Dada was. Nop could only reply that he was busy. Macau came across Phayu who stood a bit confused and asked where his dada was.
Macau felt his heart shaken as he bent down reassuring Phayu that everything was okay and his dada was just busy and asked him to send him out.
When Macau was walking back inside he could listen to servants gossiping in hushed voices.
"Is Master already bored from his mate??"
"I was telling you from the start that he was just a plaything for master..."
"Then what about the child..."
"Can't you see!! Master really hates the child too...."
"I am telling you he must have climbed on master's bed a few years back and came back with a child to blackmail him.."
There were few laughs.
"I think Master is best suited to be with Khun Tawan.....they look so good together..."
"But isn't master holding that omega here against his will... I heard from a few of the bodyguards that master kidnaped him here and he tried to escape but couldn't.."
Macau's eyebrows frowned. whichever way he listens to it. He found it unsettling but he couldn't bring himself to correct any of it.
Pete woke up on the bed his eyes stained with tears while Vegas sat on an armchair near him. He kept his eyes still close while feeling no need to step out of his bed. He felt as if he could just live here with closed eyes and it would be perfect that life could just end. He couldn't understand how he ended up forming such a relationship with Vegas. But then he remembered it was always like this. When Vegas held him captive and he would have fights with his father. Pete would be his punching bag. when Pete retaliated and got angry Vegas would end up begging him that he would change. Even after the captivation ended and they had an on-and-off phase with each other Vegas would always end up hurting him and then saying sorry. Well, Pete was at a mistake too. He was never able to run away from Vegas charm. He actually believed that Vegas would change. Pete soon knew he was so wrong there is no redemption quality in Vegas. He is still the same. As Vegas' hands softly touched his wounded back. Pete was jolted awake.
"I was just applying medicine..."
Pete looked at Vegas' red eyes and loving gesture. Pete has a realization Vegas is a habitual liar and sociopath.
Vegas was again begging to him and telling him how sorry he was and he didn't mean this to happen. Telling him he could wear anything he want. He would never do this again.
Pete knew this was a lie too. It was not the first time this has happened and it would not be the last. Vegas cried and gently closed the distance between them. Initiating small kisses here and there and apologizing again and again. Pete was numb to it like he was not the person mentioned in this conversation. He lay back like a lifeless rag doll looking at Vegas like watching a boring movie. Waiting for the performance to end.
Macau knocked on the door informing him that Tawan has came to greet them. Macau's eyes would travel discreetly around the room trying to find someone's presence. Pete snubbed to sleep without caring anything at all. He was just happy that Vegas was gone.
Vegas has to go downstairs. Pete woke up feeling wretched. His throat hurts and felt extremely dehydrated. His back still hurting like hell. Vegas has dressed his wounds and even given him a bath. Dressed him in a nice satin sleep ware. Pete tried calling someone but no one was present. With great difficulty, he walked out using walls as support. Where was everyone? Even Nop was not guarding the door. It was like the whole mansion was empty. A feeling of rebellion spouted inside his heart. He walked toward Phayu's room and to his surprise he found Phayu was curled into a small ball sleeping. He had quickly put down the bodyguard guarding the door. Changed into his uniform and took his sleeping child into his arms. He took a back door and followed the secret path. His happiness and adrenalin fell way too quickly the very next moment as he was stopped by Macau who was pointing a gun at his head.
"Please....just let us go...Didn't you want me gone?? "
Macau quickly pushed him inside a small closed space.
"He would kill you....if he found you while escaping..."
Pete was moaning in pain as his wounds were pressed hard.
