Irvin’s POVThirty minutes before nine I start to pack my things. No. I’m not going to run away from home. But I decided to stay at Henrick‘s place for two days. Folding my shirt and neatly putting it in my gray and pink backpack while happily humming.“Brother Vin,” Donnie leaned at the door frame of my room. Crossing his hand in front of me while wearing his emotionless face as always. “Are you sure that you’ll just stay there for two days? Not for good?”I chuckled at his words. He sounds like simply pushing me away. “Don’t you want me to cook you delicious food?” I joked.“I didn’t say that.” He diverted his eyes to the different direction which I always find funny. Though he is the guy who rarely smiles or frowns, his eyes show everything that's on his mind. “Just suggesting that the two of you should stay far away from here. ASAP.”I raised my right brow at his weirdness. For the first time he’s saying something I don’t get what he really means. “What are you saying? Few more mon
Third Person’s POVHenrick is the leader of Excelsis?No.Did he kill my best friend Tristan?That’s impossible.Henrick can’t do that. I know.Irvin is now confused at the situation. But he wants to believe that everything that Ken’s conclusion is just a big mistake.There’s no way Henrick will do this to me.He kept on saying to himself. But every time he sees the photos that he’s holding he starts to doubt the guy that he loves the most.“Don’t let yourself believe in lies, Vin.” Ken speaks after the awkward silence. Giving a light pat on Vin’s back to comfort him. He knows that this isn’t easy for him to accept. “Now, let me take this bag of yours away.”Before Ken could touch his thing Irvin instantly slapped it. His sudden behavior makes the older stun. “I don’t care anymore.” He stands on his feet and carries his stuff. “I love Henrick. If he is that evil guy or not I won’t mind. I’ll bravely embrace his flaws and perfection.” He didn’t wait for his reply and left the room. But
Henrick’s POV“Henrick.” I heard Irvin’s sweet voice echoing in the endless dark room.“Irvin? Where are you?!” I shouted as I searched for him. My heavy footsteps create a sound every time it smacks the tiled floor. “Vin! Irvin!”“Henrick. Help.” He said under his breath. “Babe, save me please.” His pleading voice no longer echoes. It sounds like he is behind me.I turned to where his voice came from. The darkness is no longer there. We’re at an unknown place. A park. Irvin is seated at the bench while reading some book. Enjoying the calmness of the deserted place. He doesn’t look in danger though.“Irvin!” I ran and hugged him tightly. “Where have you been? I was so worried.” I said when I broke the hug.“Find me, please.” He smiled. “Henrick…... Henrick... Henrick wakes up.” I frowned. His voice became deeper. And husky.“Henrick wake up.”I was startled when I realised that it was all a dream. The cold sweats drop at my forehead, my hands are shaking as I wipe the droplets on my
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
