Ken’s POVIt’s been three days since we flew to Anacapri, Italy and stayed at a Villa owned by one of my good friends, N. And this is where my wedding will be held. The more days passed the more I can’t hide the excitement that I feel. Imagine having your dream wedding with someone you really love. It feels like a dream come true. The best happy ending ever.Three knocks dragged me back from reality and Ver’s voice asking for some of my time is on the other side. I signaled the guard closest to the door to open it. Ver and a red-haired guy named Kim enter the library while holding a long sized folder in his hand. I remember that I commanded him to dispose of Tristan's dead body last week and he’s quite a good follower.“What a good day isn’t it?” I welcomed and led them to the long couch in the middle of the library. “Do you have anything to make it even better?” I asked specifically to Kim.He took a deep sigh before handing me the folder that he’s been holding. “It is confirmed that
The night already falls when the dinner party starts. The four higher ranks of the Excelsis that I brought here in Anacapri surround the long table as we enjoy our fancy meal that is cooked by the most well-known chef in Italy. Ver on my left is still avoiding talking to me and Irvin on my right looks neat and gorgeous in his tux as he slowly eats his food. There’s nothing I can ask for more except for another bottle of expensive wine that only in Italy can be bought.“Now that you have already reached your goal, what is your plan?” Hong suddenly blurted out.I took the wine glass beside me and waved it lightly in the air. Watching the red fluid danced in my control. “Currently, our wedding makes me busy to think about it.” Glancing to my future wife who has his own world. “For now, feel free to do what you want. I’ll just call you when I need something.”“There’s new prospective business partners in US and making them wait too long will only lead to-““As I said,” I cut him out with m
Boone’s POV“Haven’t he texted you yet?” Finn is still anxious despite the ambiance of the place.I grabbed his now cold hand. “They’re already fine. No need to worry.” Though not really sure if I am right.Henrick last text was two hours ago, saying they’re staying at Villa. Irvin needs to recover for starving himself and need medical attention. No one in our group really know what happened nor dare to ask more. Henrick isn’t someone who speak his mind when it comes to problem.“Woah. I love this song. Woooo~” Oliver commented while waving his body to the beat as he walk his way to the dance floor. Among us he’s the most unbothered on the situation. Zeke also joined him. Leaving Moe, Finn and I in the couch.We don’t usually go out—especially me—on weekdays. But after we find out that Irvin was kidnapped and Henrick fly to Italy to grab his Irvin back, we can’t help but feel anxious on his situation. And the most stressed one is Finn. I’m surprised that he
Few months ago...The gate is now crowded with students excited to exit their classrooms. Some of them were busy chatting with their friends,while some halted at whatever they are doing when they notice the presence of the two students that decided to walk pass the hallway instead of the other passage wherein only the six of them know."Why are you walking so slow?" Finn growl at his companion who seems not liking the attention that they're having."The hell, Finn. Can't I just wait for you downstairs? I already booked the restaurant. I'm starving just in case you wants to know your boyfriend's well being." Boone reminded him. Months of being together, his relationship with Finn doesn't change much. He still admire other guys, spent time stalking other people and didn't give him much attention as a lover. And he's okay with it. Finn clarified it on him the day he confessed but Boone didn't expect that Finn would require his presence on doing his 'hobby'. He's leaning forward on the g
Henrick flinch on a light clicking sound of the knob. It was Roy. He was holding a tray of food for tonight's dinner. Other than the two maidservant that cook and clean the villa, there's only Roy and fifteen other guards that roaming around the place.There's no Ken that keeps on bugging them but Henrick still can't help but feel anxious. All he wants is for Irvin to be safe, besides him.Roy looked at Irvin that had been asleep for almost two days now. And all those times Henrick is waiting for him. He stayed on his sides watching him breathe under the thick white blanket. The old man glanced at his employer. There's a sign of exhaustion on his face but he choose not to mention that unnecessary words."What's your plan now?" He asked.Henrick took a deep sigh and check his wrist watch. Fifteen minutes passed seven. "I don't know yet.".The two remain silence. Their eyes just lay on Irvin. Henrick watch every detail of his face, one of the benefit of the cu
Henrick's POV"I'm NOT going home!" I raised my voice. Just enough for her to know that there's no way I'll follow what she wants. "Honey, please." Her voice is shaking. I could sense that she's about to cry."Ridiculous!" Father's voice overlap from the background.This two never stop bugging me. Even if they are working abroad or stay here, they still wants to control my life and I hated it."Mom," I lowered my voice. Irvin was just staying on the next room. I don't want him to here this conversation that I have with my parents. "I understand that you are upset. But my friend needs me." He lied. Both the 'friend' and 'me' part. Since he met Irvin, he never yearn to be just his friend. He wants him more than that. And in this situation, Irvin may need me physically, but deep down I know, that it is me who demands his presence."I'll be home soon, okay?" I didn't wait for her response and just hang up the phone.I laid on my back and let the be
Third Person's POVTwenty-five passed five when Henrick got out from his room and went straight to the dirty kitchen where a maidservant was busy cooking breakfast for the guards. Her companion left her few minutes ago running some errands at the market. Henrick didn't mind the idea of someone from the inside of the Villa coming in and out from a daily basis. As long as they know how to keep their mouth shut, there's nothing they can be afraid of and before they all went to this Villa, Henrick personally orient them on what and what not they should do. Somehow gives him the assurance that everything goes smoothly."Just knock on the door and leave the food outside. Am I clear?" He asked the maidservant. She looks young, around early twenties. She read the list of food that his employer given her for today's breakfast. Checking if she'll need to ask more question or just nod."Yes, Young Master." She finally replied. He then took his leave. The mo
Its been hours since Irvin trying to call Mr. Williams but he still can't get a hold of him. The operator's voice starts to annoy him, as if telling him that his persistence won't work. He'll still end up of choosing leaving a voice message instead. "Still no answer?" Henrick was now sitting at the couch. The trolley has been sent away by one of the guard that passed by the hallway and he is now waiting for Irvin to finish his business with his phone. Hoping that they now can start their next agenda for today.He shrugged glumly. He can't find any reason why suddenly Mr. Williams is out of reach. The old man usually on his phone most of the time. It has been roughly ten passed eight in a Tuesday morning. Just the right time that Mr. Williams would be on his phone, if not on his side, checking emails and sort. As far as Irvin know, Mr. Williams owned a number of grocery stores around the city. He once visited the one that was close from school. It wasn't
"What about Moe?" I asked, staring at him dead in the eye. "How would I know when you never told me anything?" I emphasized every word clearly as I stated my displeasure towards him. I tried to raise my head to look at him but the falling tears made my vision blurry. "You want to know? You really want to know, right?" Henrick stalked towards me like a predator to its prey as he stood in front of me. His eyes blazing in fury. "Tell me!!" I yelled equally loud. I tried to suppress my growing anxiousness. This version of Henrick is what I fear the most. The seething with madness version. I want him to speak up, to say it to my face no matter how much the truth hurts me. But I surrendered. I surrendered to Henrick. "I didn't tell you because I'm worried about your feelings, Vin. I don't know if you could bear it or not. I don't know if this will bring back the pain...But you won't listen to me even when I warned you. Now, I will tell you the truth. Moe is the guy who poisoned you at th
Irvin's POV"P-please... don't hurt us..."My eyes widened as I watched the scene in front of me. I gave Moe a glance, but he was too preoccupied with the terrified lady. "Auntie, we're not here to hurt you." I muttered, before lending my hands towards the old lady, beckoning her to get up. "Tri’s not here today. So, I came instead." Moe said. "Y-you're... not here to hurt us?" she said in a trembling voice. "Yes." Moe said with indifferent expression, before eventually softening his voice, "How are you?" "You promise?" "Yes... Tri asked me to buy this too," Moe took the pills out of his pocket and gave them to the auntie. The expression on the woman's face eventually mellowed as she started to trust Moe. "Why didn't Tri come today?" Auntie grabbed her own clothes and wiped tears off her face. "He's busy... Can we see him now?" Moe shortly said. The lady was speechless for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. She slowly opened the door to the room and eventually beckone
Irvin’s POVI sat with my phone while playing games like crazy after passing a rigorous exam all day, damn it! The questions on the test paper today were something I have never met before. Hey! Did we study a lesson like that? Damn, I couldn't remember anything. My brain has gone as empty as a space, it was filled with nothing. The more I searched for answers, the more I couldn't find them. I wanted to sleep instead! Fuck! What I got back was a radiant looking skin because I have slept all too well, it helps a lot with drinking eight glasses of water a day that adds moisture to my skin. How preposterous! "Done with your exams already?" Henrick’s voice didn't draw my attention away from the screen. I nodded at him and continued playing the game. For about ten minutes now, I have been sitting here under the VIP building benches and waiting for him. Henrick and his friends gathered around the table. He then sat beside me. "Ugh." I flicked my face away from Henrick, who gently rubbed h
Henrick’s Pov"Oh God... it hurts so much doctor." I squinted my eyes towards the old looking man sitting across from my good-for-nothing friend. He was called doctor Seb or Doc Sebastian Walsh? Something like that. When we asked Oli if he wanted to be taken to the hospital, he refused and wanted to be tended here instead. So we called a doctor, and this bastard specifically asked for this old man. I was putting an ice pack for Irvin’s hip while periodically peeking at my friend’s actions. He said he was hurt, but his face looked otherwise and it annoyed me seriously. "You're doing fine, Oli. It's just a little bruise. I'll give you some painkillers and topical ointment and you're good to go." The good-looking doctor said coldly. His tone might be soft and caring, but his facial expressions were too stiff and indifferent. "Don't I need an X-ray? Or maybe some blood tests? I think I'm still a little sick doctor." Oliver pushed himself up from the sofa, and drew his face closer to t
Henrick’s POVBang!!I hurriedly grabbed Irvin by the waist so that he slammed hard on my chest. We dropped to the couch in shock, looking at the shards of fallen glass on the floor. The glass table shattered and cracked loudly. I didn't realize I had used such a strong force enough to break the table apart. Luckily, I caught Irvin on time before he fell into the mess. "Are you okay?" I asked Irvin who sat on my lap and was staring breathlessly at the wreckage in front of us. "Damn, Rick! What the hell did you do?" He slapped my thigh hard with his fists. "Ha ha, look how strong my love for you is." I said, grinning goofily at Irvin’s reddened face out of embarrassment. Knock Knock"Young Master. What happened, Young Master Henrick?" There was a loud knock on the door, along with an uproar from outside. Irvin and I exchanged looks and he hurriedly put on his pants, rolled his shirt down, and ran towards the bathroom. I shook my head slightly as I recall his old ways. "Nothing."
Henrick’s POV"Let me go!" He pursed his lips tightly that prevented me from penetrating the insides of his mouth, but I don't care anymore. I sucked on his lower lip vigorously and kissed him repeatedly. His thin and soft lips felt so good against mine. His sweet breath made me delirious with so much need I think it's too late to stop myself anymore. My head spun from the raging lust. I alternately kissed his lips and cheeks nonstop to let him feel what I wanted to say. To let him know that I want him so much and I need him in my life or else I will die. "I thought I was going to die." I said honestly, still in full attention to the man in front of me who has his eyes tightly closed and flickering his head back and forth. His lips remained tightly closed that he began to suffocate and lose his oxygen, so he accidentally opened his mouth to get some air. And it was the moment I was waiting for, I lunged forward and claimed his mouth in full. My tongue darted inside his mouth, twirlin
Henrick’s POV"Damn it, what the fuck?! Are you still in the mood to watch porn in this situation?" Irvin asked in shock. "Shit!" "What?" Irvin and I looked at the screen showing a video clip between Moe and Ivy. They were both naked and making love passionately in bed. If it was Ivy with someone else, I wouldn't be surprised but what made me cursed out loud was because it was Moe, who's the least I expected to do this to me. Though I feel nothing about Ivy, seeing a clip of her like this made me feel a bit struck. I felt betrayed. It was true that who stabbed you from the back was always someone close to you. "Fuck! Moe is wicked." Irvin said as his eyes focused on the screen. "Didn't I tell you? Don't get close to him!" I said angrily, remembering how close Irvin was in danger with Moe. "How would I know? Open that one too." Irvin, who didn't seem to mind, urged me to open another file that Rancho was gradually sending. "Fuck! Stephanie too?" As soon as I opened the clip, I
Irvin’s POVI took a deep breath. Today was exhausting, not just physically but also mentally. Everything was so messed up, but I'm glad that the bond that I have with my brother is getting stronger. Zeke and Oliver took him to the hospital to get treated and I was left alone with Henrick. "Let's go home now, Vin." Henrick said, wrapping his hands over my neck and pulled me into a hug. "Whose house are you talking about? T-the fuck are you doing again Henrick! Let me go!" I struggled, pushing myself away from Henrick’s embrace. "Come on Vin. It's already over. Let's go home now." Henrick insisted, and pulled me towards his car. "Henrick, if you don't stop pulling my arm, I'll hit you!" I continued to resist, glaring at him in fury. "VIn, please. I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry. I was wrong." Henrick held my arm to face him, but I was too stubborn not to let him have his way. "I'm done with you! Go mess with somebody else!" I said as I turned my gaze away from him. Henrick sudde
Boone’s POV“So?” Stephanie leaned close to me and gave me a teasing smile. I looked at her with confusion and just shrugged her off. Her smile turned frowning when I disregarded her query. She bumped me with her shoulder that slightly pushed me over. “Isn’t he the guy that you’ve been talking about?”“Hmn.” My way of saying ‘yes’.“Oh my god. You’re acting shy right now.” She pointed out.My hands were fast to cover her lips. She was too loud. That even the guards at the main gate could hear her blabbering.“That’s nonsense.” I replied. Letting her go. “Can you tone down your voice? I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable.”Her lips puckered. She went silent for a few seconds. As if she’s thinking of something that I couldn’t decipher. SHe crossed her arms, lying back on her seats. Almost slouching. “You know what for someone who’s smart, you’re quite stupid and blind.”My jaw dropped at her utterance. If only she’s not someone I consider as a friend, I probably have said mean things
