"6 years ago"
The sound of soft romantic music from the television filled the silence of the room.
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"Thought about what?"
"Not being here"
A confused look came across Vegas' face.
"What do you mean?"
"Just living like them, not like this..."
Pete's eyes moved to the Television screen in front of him.
They were watching a romantic film after sex. The story revolves around a teenage romance which turned into a mature love over the years and how the couple got old. they went to the same park where they first met.
No bloodshot and no backstabbing.
"You want to have sex with a single person for your whole life?" Vegas snickered and continued to poke the little bubble Pete had at that time."Only poor Alpha lives like that.....Living with a single omega..."
Pete was brought back to reality. The escape he found through the movie was long gone. Vegas won't live like that. He was just convenient for Vegas. He didn't know when this yearning started for a normal life but for today he felt like rebelling.
"When I have saved enough...I will leave this place..." Pete still looking at the credits rolling down on the TV screen.
Vegas looked back at Pete. Vegas knew it was impossible to leave the business. You only leave when you die.
Vegas snickered at Pete.
Pete got up and put on his clothes, silently leaving the room.
Vegas went back to his empty bed. Vegas was the one who told Pete that he didn't like people to stay after sex. Pete sulked a few times. Every time he asked to be held after sex but he just left this time. Love is cheap Vegas knew but still felt betrayed. He got a call from Porsche. Porsche and Vegas were talking about a new deal Kin was discussing with Italians. Then Vegas confessed his feelings to Porsche and the other side reciprocated. They had phone sex with each other after that.
Kinn massaged his head listening to tapped phone calls from Porsche.
Porsche who thought himself to be so smart was being played by Kinn.
Kinn sat with Thankhun that day smoking a cigar while the other side painted his nails.
Thankhun checked twice before he cleared his throat.
"What do you want?" Kinn talked back.
"Can you leave Pete to me" Thankhun spoke hurriedly.
Kinn lips twitched in response.
"I will punish him for you.." Thankhun blocked Kinn with his words.
"In our business kindness and pity gets you killed..."
"I will talk to him.....he is still useful and he is still loyal to the family.."
"Loyal?? He slept with Vegas....No he is still sleeping with him.."
"Kinn....what do you want in return for letting him live?" Thankhun asked with his eyes beaming with seriousness and his posture uptight.
Kinn smiled in return as if fish caught the biggest bait in the sea.

It was the day Vegas and Porsche ran away.
Kinn sent Pete to chase after them. Thankhun was livid when he found out about it.
He slammed the door open.
"This was not the fucking deal.."
Kinn laughed eyes filled with malice.
"I said that I won't kill him but I never said that others won't.....Now it depends on Pete whether he can live or not..."
Pete was shot that day by Vegas and Porsche while Kinn sipped his wine. Later when he opened his eyes. Thankhun looked down at him with angry eyes. Complaining, betrayal, and accusation pointed at him.
"What the hell you were thinking??" Thankhun barked at him.
"Khun dispose me.....Tell the family I let them go and protect yourself..." Pete repeated the sentence.
The doctor walked in at that moment and looked at Pete then at Thankhun.
A few bodyguards followed behind him.
Thankhun looked at Pete while screaming at everyone to leave the place right now.
Pete sighed and gave up fighting. He told them he was responsible for them escaping. He even told them about sleeping with Vegas. But what everyone was most shocked about was the discovery that Pete was an omega. No one knew because he hid it so well. If he hadn't had an accident today no one else would have found out. Kinn smirked as Pete took all the blame and in negotiations was handed over to the minor clan for interrogation.
Thankhun looked at the letter Pete had left him with. "Sorry and Forget me as a bad dream."
Kinn was in a jolly mood when he walked inside finding Thankhun depressed.
Thankhun lit up the letter and watched it go up in flame.
A beaten-up doctor was pushed inside the room. He was helping Pete to hide his identity all this time.
Doctor crying as he held Thankhun's pants.
"Pete can't survive the interrogation please help him Khun..."
"Why is that??" Kinn smiled and asked.
"He just had an abortion because of severe blood loss due to the gunshot...."
Thankhun held him by his neck. Thankhun thoughts were distorted. He looked at the begging man and then at smiling Kinn. He could understand everyone but he just couldn't understand Pete. He clearly told him what Kinn was planning. He clearly warned him about Vegas and Porsche's betrayal before he went to chase after them but he still did it.
"You tell me why he went there.....I told you to inform him that he would be turned into a fucking traitor.."
"I don't know Khun......He just smiled and then called Khun Kinn telling him he was going there so Khun doesn't need to come.."
Thankhun was left speechless and Kinn's smile vanished.
For months Pete was tortured by Kan. Fed and injected with various types of medicine and raped. He was finally able to run away after various attempts. He still went to find Thankhun before running away. Thankhun had hid him for a month before the war broke out.
The last he sees of Thankhun is when Thankhun orders him to make sure Chay is safe.
He was then caught in fire and when he woke up it was already a new day. He ran away without looking back.
