Black Diamond

"BREAKING NEWS! January 3, 2025: A £5,000,000 ($6,100,000 USD) 20-carat black diamond, The KSI Eclipse, was stolen from KSI Headquarters in London. Authorities are searching for possible suspects and urge witnesses to contact them with information."

Stan grinned while listening to the news on the large TV in the living room.

“Center of attention, aren’t we? You’re all over the news.” He beamed at the guy holding a pistol in his right hand and a rug in his left, cleaning it spotless. 

The guy smiled proudly and continued his chore. After cleaning the pistol, he adopted a stance and aimed at the range target shaped like a human figure. His shot was spot-on—right on the head. 

“Let’s go?” he asked Stan as they prepared to head to a special room in the mansion. 

Just then, his friends arrived. 

“Wow, the price of the items you steal has gone up,” Marco said, making himself comfortable on the sofa. 

“Yeah, care to share how you managed to steal it? I want to learn from the best,” Ven added, raising an eyebrow and mimicking Marco’s casual pose. 

Kane turned to them with an innocent look. 

If Marco and Ven didn’t know better, they would have believed the moron. 

“You stole the black diamond, Kane. We know you did.” 

Instead of responding, he gestured for them to follow him. All of them proceeded to the secret room. 

It wasn’t the first time Marco and Ven had been there, but they were still in awe as they roamed their eyes around. The room was simple, with plain cream-colored walls, tiles, and a ceiling. What made the room exceptional were the paintings hovering all around. Realistic and conceptual paintings surrounded them—remarkable and worth a second glance. 

When they noticed Kane’s latest painting, they immediately glanced at him in astonishment. It was the black diamond! 

Stan, standing beside Kane, smiled haughtily and stared at the newest addition to his dear friend and master’s collection. The painting was so lifelike it felt like you could touch the diamond and pick it up. 

“I know you’re a great artist, and I’ve seen your works multiple times already, but I’m still in awe,” Ven said. Just as he was about to touch the painting, Kane swiftly slapped his hand away, earning him a pout from Ven. 

“No touching.” 

They scanned the place, and after they were content, they left the room. 

“Go, I have somewhere to be after this,” Kane stated, mockingly dismissing them. 

“Can we just lounge here instead? I just arrived from New York, and I haven’t slept a minute. Spare me, Kane,” Marco grunted, plopping himself onto the sofa as if he owned the place. 

“Ahuh, me too. I only had two hours of sleep because I had to finish my research. Don’t you feel bad for us? Hmm?” 

The two nonchalantly lay on the sofa, and Ven opened his phone, ignoring everyone afterward. 

“Thick faces,” Kane muttered, as if it were his fault they were sleep-deprived. 

Stan nodded in agreement. 

“You’d think they’d at least have the decency to get a hotel room,” he added. “These freeloaders.” 

But before long, Marco was fast asleep, and Ven seemed completely detached from the world, glued to his phone. 

A minute later, his phone slipped from his grasp as he dozed off. Kane and Stan exchanged a knowing glance and began to tidy up. 

This was one of those days Kane had been looking forward to. He wanted to return to where he truly belonged—his throne. 

He swiftly took the pistol from his pocket and slid it into his duffle bag’s secret compartment. No one would have known that beneath all the paintbrushes, palettes, extra clothes, camera, and all the normal things an artist might carry—was a pistol, fully loaded and ready to fire. 

With Stan’s help, they had contacted the gallery a month ago, where his solo exhibit would take place. They arranged everything and sent invitations to influential people and media. Everyone of high status would be there, and he made sure that special someone would also attend. 

With a wide grin, Stan tapped his shoulder and smiled. 

This is the start. 

The solo exhibition was held at Vanguard Gallery.

Every careful brushstroke was on full display, earning the attention it deserved. It didn’t even feel like an art exhibition—it was more like a gathering, a cocktail party where social elites mingled, securing opportunities and connections. 

High-profile figures hovered everywhere, and selling the paintings was the least of their concerns. They were all sold in a split second. 

For all of this to happen, one figure had to be honored—none other than Kane Soren Vitali, the youngest renowned artist of his generation. At a young age, he had made a name for himself in the art world. 

He had pushed through his career, no matter the consequences, and was now known as an inspiration, especially to the youth with the same aspirations. A refined figure, a respected one—or at least, that was his reputation. That was what he was known to be. 

“Is it okay that we just left Marco and Ven?” Stan asked as he sipped his wine, standing beside Kane. 

“Just let them be. They won’t cause any trouble,” Kane shrugged. Those two weren’t his priority at the moment, and he knew they could take care of themselves. 

Stan started to voice his concerns. “What if someone attacks while—” but Kane silenced him with a gentle gesture, placing his index finger in front of his lips. 

Stan’s words trailed off, and he clamped his mouth shut. Perhaps his worry stemmed from his limited knowledge of Kane and his friends. After all, Stan had only been around for a year and had only seen Marco and Ven four times in that entire period. 

Meanwhile, Kane remained relaxed, observing the crowd. He greeted people from time to time, receiving endless congratulatory messages. Yet his eyes were searching—for a certain something. 

Or rather, a certain someone.

Despite his calm and composed appearance, his gaze was hunting for his prey. It never stopped roaming—until it landed on the gallery entrance. 

A man in a suit entered, accompanied by high-ranking officials and subordinates as if they were protecting him. He walked slowly toward Kane. 

From the outside, Kane might have looked pleased by his presence, but inside, his blood was boiling with hatred. 

The man stopped in front of him. Kane felt it—like all his blood had drained, leaving his body cold when their gazes met. 

It was as if those eyes were dead. Lifeless. Emotionless. 

And then, the man spoke. 

“King Kairos Marchetti.” 

That man—King—introduced himself and extended a hand for a handshake. 

Instead of taking it, Kane blinked, momentarily stunned, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him. 

King smiled—a playful curve on his lips—before returning to his stoic demeanor. 

Kane’s blood boiled even more, but he remained calm. Regaining his composure, he extended his hand, mirroring King’s action—smiling, then turning stoic once again. 

“Mind chatting with me for a while? Just the two of us?” 

Kane was adamant. 

And the fire inside him was raging.

The Artist
King’s amber-hued eyes were dazzling, yet they lacked life. Kane was determined, but something about King’s gaze unsettled him. The man in front of him—King—had agreed to his request and ordered his subordinates to leave without him. Now alone, Kane focused on the man seated beside him—the same seat Stan had occupied earlier. He had also asked Stan to leave once King’s subordinates had gone. “How was it?” Kane asked, twirling his wine glass without looking at King. “What?” King’s tone was playful and mischievous, unlike his usual cold and stoic demeanor. Kane turned to face him, once again struck by his eyes. He was furious but knew better than to lash out. “How does it feel, enjoying a company you stole and living with the hideous things you’ve done?” His voice dripped with sarcasm. His anger had never faded after all these years, and his goal remained unchanged—he wanted the man before him to suffer. But King didn’t react. He said nothing. What made it even more infuriatin

I'm Sorry
Kane woke up gasping for breath, trembling from a nightmare. It was the same nightmare every single time, reminding him of the pain. He was terrified for a while, sweat covering his face, but as he calmed down and looked around, he became alert. He remembered what had happened and immediately looked for his phone, but it was nowhere to be found. He scanned his surroundings and headed toward the door. He wasn’t expecting anything—he thought the door would be locked. But to his surprise, it was open. Scanning the place, he realized he was in a huge house—a mansion. He furrowed his brows as he walked around, ending up in the kitchen, where food was laid out on the dining table, but no one was in sight. The living room was also deserted, and an eerie silence filled the entire mansion. His gut tightened with anxiety. He had no idea what had happened to his friends. He was worried about the two of them, and his concerns doubled when he realized he hadn’t been alone in the car all thos

Cabecilla
Morning came and Kane woke up early to check if the sleeping monster outside was still alive, but he stopped midway. The monster he's referring to was cooking. King's back was facing him, and from where Kane stands, he can see how King cooks breakfast. King would move and stop, as if he was thinking of something. Then he would move again, and then he'd stop. His shoulders were slumped, and even though Kane couldn't hear him clearly, he knew that King had been sighing repeatedly. He wants to laugh sarcastically. Early in the morning, and this is what he'll see. Oh well, at least he's now awake, 'I can now go back.'He had only taken a few steps towards the dining table when King immediately noticed him. King turned to face him, smiling as if greeting him good morning, but his eyes remained the same - empty. He just glared at him and sat at the table for six people. "How's your stay?" King asked in a laid-back tone, which caused him to raise an eyebrow."Horrible. I want to go home n

I'll take everything you have
Kane was doing his best to endure being locked up for a month. "It's just a month. After this, I can leave."What harm could a month do, anyway? His team could handle things without him. The only thing bothering him was the storage, but even that wasn’t an easy target. Stan, Ven, and Marco would fight to the death to protect it. He sighed and looked out the window, deep in thought. For now, all he needed to do was avoid King. The man wasn’t giving him any useful information, and every time Kane saw him, his blood boiled. He decided to lock himself in his room and only come out when hunger forced him to. Even in isolation, King’s words haunted him. "I care for you." Kane scoffed. 'As if. How could someone as ruthless as King even understand what it means to care?' The absurdity of it made him laugh. It was nearly dawn, but Kane planned to leave his room only at midnight when he was sure King would be asleep. Unfortunately, that plan was about to be ruined. A creaking sound

Harmless Game
Morning came, and Kane woke up to the scent of grilled bacon. He was no longer surprised to see King cooking again. He walked towards the dining table, and his eyes landed on a phone sitting freely on top of it."As promised," King turned and even winked at him. "Thank you for taking care of me."King expected Kane to be mad again and to answer him sarcastically, but he didn't. Instead, Kane mumbled a "welcome," stunning him and making him smile.Kane saw that, but he kept noticing-King's smile never reached his eyes, and that annoyed him, even though he was delighted by the device in front of him-a phone, indeed.It had no SIM, as expected. No internet connection either. Just some applications.Kane grinned. He was content with that. Especially with his own realization-the phone and the CD, he had hidden them somewhere. That meant this house had some secret places, and he just had to find them."I know you want to leave. But once again, I'm only asking for a month. Please bear with m

Never have I ever
"Never have I ever apologized for manipulating someone." "Never have I ever forgiven someone who hurt me deeply." "Never have I ever used a person I care about for my own gain." "Never have I ever not regretted meeting the person in front of me." King wanted to stop the game midway. Playing this game was a mistake! Kane never mentioned the organization or their past directly, but he was targeting him indirectly. All of Kane’s questions were harmless compared to the ones King had asked him. He kept drinking on Kane’s behalf, making his world spin. "Now, now, that’s clever of you. You never mentioned taboo words—literally." He emphasized the word 'literally,' but Kane just laughed. "My turn, then," King continued. "Never have I ever—" He looked into Kane’s eyes, clearly contemplating whether he should say it. "Hated the person in front of me." "Oh, you never hated me? Too bad. I hate you to the core." He shrugged and downed the liquor in front of him. "My turn." He pau

I want you to
King guided Kane to his room before leaving. He was about to go to the secret fortress to message Raze and get an update on their ongoing operation, but then he changed his mind. He wanted to make sure Kane was asleep first. He waited for an hour as he watched a movie, and afterward, he opened the door to Kane's room. He sighed in relief upon seeing him lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. King was hesitant to go near him, but he still did. This was one of those rare times he could see Kane looking so peaceful. "Never have I ever," he paused, still appreciating the serene view before him. "Never have I ever... not lied to you." Before he even realized it, a lone tear fell from his eye. He chuckled at the thought that crossed his mind. "Just when can I be honest? I already miss my friend... I already miss you, Kane." He could still remember the times they were together before everything was taken away before their eyes. They were just children back then, but he had a

Draw me like one of your French girls
It all started with a witty remark from King, but they both took it seriously. Kane was holding a paintbrush, mixing colors to get the desired outcome. He looked so serene, so focused, and though he wasn’t smiling, he seemed to be enjoying what he was doing. On the other hand, King was biting the side of his mouth to hide his self-consciousness. Although he was a known cold and ruthless Cabecilla, he was never branded a Casanova despite his ethereal look for a certain reason. He never dated girls, never laid his hands on any woman, and always distanced himself, doing his best not to fall or give any importance to his romantic life—including his sex life. He was a virgin in this matter, so he was a bit confused about how to respond to Kane. He wasn’t even sure what Kane’s actions were indicating. But there he was, reluctantly removing his shirt, then his pants. The last thing at his disposal—his boxers. He looked in Kane’s direction, but the latter was busy mixing colors. H

His way
King barely had time to react before Kane was on him again, pressing him against the couch with an intensity that sent his pulse racing. Their lips crashed together in a heated, messy kiss—teeth clashing, and tongues tangling. King was even responding to Kane's kisses this time.King grunted as Kane’s fingers tangled in his hair, yanking his head back, exposing his throat. Kane’s lips were on him in an instant, biting, sucking, leaving marks that burned against his heated skin."Ugh!" He groaned. King grabbed Kane's shoulders and his fingers sank with intensity. Kane pounded on him and went back to his position earlier, his eyes glared over the thing that was standing proud in between King's legs. Without any thought, he leaned closer and placed both of his hands around it. It was warm and his own crotch down there was turning alive as well. He hisses repeatedly. He shouldn't do this. He shouldn't even entertain such thoughts but his mind doesn't have control over his body now. "I
