A Thin Line In Between [BXB]

PETE POV

I can't believe how time flies. I am back in the UK waiting for Macau to pick me up. As Macau is the only one I stayed in touch with, after some time Porsche stopped replying to my messages and the same was with Vegas.

I don't know what happened during this time here, but I genuinely miss them and I hope that everything will be fine.
Jasmine died 2 weeks ago, so everything she owned was given to me, however I refused, because all of her business deals were shady and I did not want that.

However I still had to deal with it, so that is why I am back in the UK.

I saw Macau waving at me with a huge smile on his face. "Pete, Wow you look great." He welcomed me and hugged me tightly.
"Macau, I can't believe it, you look completely different. How are you?"
"Im great Pete, geez Im so happy to see you. Are you hungry?"
"You bet, that flight was taking forever. I managed to read almost the whole book." I waved a book in front of his face.

He just laughed and we walked towards his car.

"I can see that you are taking great care of your car." I smiled and gently patted the roof of my ex-car. Before I left I gifted it to Macau, because it would be a shame for it to rust somewhere in a garage.

Macau took me to my favourite restaurant in the city centre. I was surprised that it was partially empty, however we were not sitting in the restaurant like normal people would. Macau booked a VIP lounge for us. We walked in and sat down.

"Nothing changed here." I started the conversation.
Macau just nodded and smiled. Then he looked at me with a serious face.

"Come on Pete, tell me what happened. Why did you leave? Is everything solved? Why did you come back?" He started to question me.

I looked at him, sighted and started to talk about everything.

**********

"The decision for me to leave was the hardest one I have ever made. I never wanted Vegas to be hurt this much, I knew that he loved me, and I knew that I would break his heart, but this was the risk I had to take.

Actually when I left, I got in touch with Tay just to ask him for a private plane to Thailand, because once I left your house I felt like someone had been following me and I was right, Jasmine wanted me dead. Luckily Tay had his own private plane, so I quickly packed the most important things from Vegas' apartment and just left.

I was all alone now, wandering back and forth in Thailand. Luckily for me, I was recognized by mothers friend and she took me in. My mother believed that something like this would have happened, so she gave her all the information that I needed to know. I was processing it for quite some time.

I was being followed, I did not know what I was supposed to do. I was moving from one place to another. I stayed a maximum of 4 days in one place. This lasted for 3 months. Then a friend of mine offered me a safe place. I was able to handle my mum's business. So I made a new jewelry brand, and the houses have new tenants, so I am earning money just because they are living there.

I wanted to come back, but I was found again by those gorillas.. So again I was hiding, I tried to get in touch with you as much as possible, but sometimes it was not possible.

After 2 months i received a noze that Jasmine died and I should come back do deal with her business, I firstly declined thinking that it is a trap, but when you send me that message I did nothesitate and booked the first flight available.

And here I am, sitting with you."

I finished talking and drank water the waitress brought earlier.

Macau did not said anything just kept watching me.
