Vegas sat at the desk in his office. He was watching the CCTV clips of the day. He could see what Pete said was right, clear as the day. Tawan had been rude to his pet, and his pet had been stubborn too, clinging to the fact that he must obey Vegas somehow. It touched Vegas, his pet wanted to obey him.

When Tawan threatened him and Pete apologised Vegas felt his heart squeezing. His pet is apologising to someone else when he wasn't even in the wrong. It was Vegas's fault. Vegas has reduced Pete to that state. But now it didn't even belong to him alone, instead Vegas has to endure watching Pete fragile in front of others. Vegas clenched his fists at the thought. He will make sure nobody else will touch his pet ever, neither physically nor mentally. Nobody will be allowed to bully him except Vegas.

Pete had requested for death and Vegas felt goosebumps run through his body. He realised he had achieved his revenge already. Pete might be alive in front of him, but he has killed him already mentally. Maybe it would have been more merciful if he had tortured and killed Pete the day he was brought here.

But that day when he saw the small body been dragged by his bodyguards to the cell he knew he won't be killing the boy anytime soon. He tried to pretend to everyone and his own self that he was only putting it off because he wanted to torture him more, and it did workout, but Vegas realised he would never be able to kill him in cold blood.

But now, he had killed him mentally. His pet begged him for death, after he had endured Vegas's cruelty for so long. And how should Vegas respond? This should be the time that Vegas gets rid of the boy, finishes his revenge, and ends everything for once and for all. But the thought of Pete disappearing from his life made Vegas feel sick.

He didn't know when this happened. That he could still hate someone and want someone concurrently . What was so special about Pete? Was it how he suffered everything so beautifully, or his innocent face and passive behaviour that made Vegas feel angrier or his deep love for his brother to which he seemed to clung to whatever Vegas put him through?

But one thing was apparent to Vegas, it was no use fighting with his thoughts and feelings, he needed Pete. He needed Pete alive more than his thirst for revenge. And Pete will be his, his alone, to punish or cherish, and nobody else will be allowed to bully him, he will be Vegas's, only his.

After Pete's request that chilled Vegas bone deep, he had put the matter on hold until he further investigated it.

"What the fuck are you saying?", Vegas had lost his cool and yelled at Pete demanding answers.

"Can we go back on the deal?",Pete said in a small voice.

"No",Vegas's voice was gruff as the reality sink into him. He is going to lose his pet. "I.. no.. you will finish the tour with Tawan and I will punish you later", he all but pushed Pete away from him like he was scared to touch him even anymore.

He watched numb as his pet went to the sink in the corner washing his face and trying to look presentable again. Thankfully Tankhun had used high quality makeup and after an initial wipe down Pete started to look as good new.

After that Pete had left to Tawan to finish his tour. He was unsteady on his feet, walking out of the room like he was in a daze. The eyes that stared after Pete's retreating form looked equally dazed. But Vegas still had the presence of mind to give Tawan a call and order him to show Pete around. Tawan was all polite and smiles on the phone. Vegas knew they were fake, and now he felt angry looking at the proof of his false accusations.
