Chapter 21: Apprehended

Pakin’s P.O.VI was only brought back to my bearings when May flinched violently beside me.Pakin, stop being such a pussy! Think about May!I quickly unlatched her hand from my arm, squeezing it between my fingers as an attempt at comfort. “You and your friends need to get out of here before this gets any worse than it already is,” I said, my gaze darting between her pale face and the brawl happening around us. “You could get hurt.”My senses were finally sharpening now, the haze of fear lifting just enough for me to think clearly.But May shook her head, her voice firm despite her fear. “You need to go first,” she insisted. “If the police show up, you’ll be in trouble. Pakin, you can’t get caught here.”I swallowed hard, realization making my throat dry as I cast a glance over my shoulder. The fight continued, brutal and unrelenting. Sean’s fi

Chapter 22: A Way of Being

Pakin’s P.O.VThe dread that had been simmering in my stomach finally boiled over as I knelt on the sticky club floor, my hands raised awkwardly above my head.The crowd that had been jeering and chanting moments ago was now scrambling for the exits. Some slipped out quietly amidst the confusion, others made a loud, desperate rush to freedom, pushing and shoving past each other like animals.It was chaos, but at least they were leaving. Good for them.My eyes darted to May, who knelt nearby, her face pale and strained. "May," I whispered urgently, "go. You need to get out of here."Her eyes widened in alarm, but she shook her head firmly. "I'm not leaving you, Pakin," she hissed back. “I got you into this mess, and I’ll get you out, I promise.”Before I could argue further, the cops came closer, their heavy boots thudding ominously against the floor. The sound made bile rise to my throat.One b

Chapter 23: Start Acting Like One

Pakin’s P.O.VAs I stepped out of the cell, Sean regarded me with a look. “Don’t forget what I told you,” he said, voice firm.I hesitated, ignoring the way the cop who came for me urged me to hurry up. Finally, I nodded at Sean. “I’ll think about it,” I muttered, though I think my voice lacked conviction.He didn’t press further, just gave me a faint, knowing grin that somehow irritated and intrigued me at the same time.The guard at my side didn’t share Sean’s patience. He gripped my arm, not hard enough to hurt but firm enough to remind me of my place.“Let’s move,” he barked, steering me toward the hallway.The fluorescent lights buzzed faintly above us as we walked, their harsh glow making the dingy walls look even grimmer. His hold tightened briefly as we rounded a corner, and something in me snapped.“I can walk on my own,” I said sharply, yanking my arm out of his grasp.The guard stopped, his narrowed

Chapter 24: From One Mistake to the Next

Pakin’s P.O.VN.B- This story and its content are purely fiction and it’s not an actual representation of the economic or political state of any country, religion, etc. Please be warned that this is all made up to suite the story and not related to any real life incidents.If there was anything my childhood had trained me for, it was to mask my true emotions. As part of the royal family, we had always been taught to keep our composure, especially in the public eye, no matter how troubled or nervous we were.And now that training was to be put to good use.I straightened my shoulders, trying to mask the unease that had been growing in my chest since the car ride began. “You’re overreacting, Dew,” I said, attempting to sound calm and rational. “I didn’t do anything that serious. It’s not like a bar fight is going to bring down the monarchy.”But Dew glared at me.

Chapter 25: The Team

Pakin’s P.O.VThe next morning, I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting the collar of my jacket. My reflection stared back at me, a man of resolve and nerves.Today was the day.No more overthinking, no more hesitation. I was going to do this.I grabbed my phone and dialed Tew’s number. It rang a few times, each tone drawing out the anticipation in my chest. Finally, a groggy voice answered.“Hello?” Tew sounded like he’d just woken up, his words slurred with sleep.“It’s me,” I said. “Get dressed. I’m picking you up.”“Why? What’s going on?” he asked, clearly confused.“Just get ready. I need you to come with me somewhere.”There was a pause, and I could hear the faint rustling of sheets on his end. “You’re being vague. Is this something I’m gonna regret?”I smirked despite myself. “No regrets, I promise. Just… trust me.”“Fine, fine,” he groaned. “Give me ten minutes.”When he hung up, I felt a wave of relief. Tew had been my friend for years, and if there was anyone I wanted by my

Chapter 26: The Challenge

Pakin’s P.O.VSean’s smirk softened, replaced by something gentler, something warmer. For a moment, he just looked at me, like he was… I don’t know, searching for something?And then, slowly, a smile curved his lips—not his usual teasing grin, but one that felt genuine and unguarded.“Well, damn,” he said, his voice quieter than usual. “That’s... probably the best answer you could’ve given. I’m glad our jail time together got through to you.”His reaction eased some of the tension knotted in my chest, even though the mention of ‘jail’ sent a shiver down my spine.I hoped he understood what I was really trying to say—that his persistence, his confidence in me, had been the spark I needed. The spark that would make me something more than ‘the spare’.Sean’s persistence made me believe in myself more than I could let on. I wanted to be more than the royal disappointment, more than the man who was pushed into the background to let my brother shine.Coal stepped closer, his hand resting br

Chapter 27: Heart-to-heart Part 1

Pakin’s P.O.VAfter dropping off Tew at his place, I handed him about half of the money that I had collected from the tracks for that race.Tew’s eyes went huge as he stared at the ward of cash in my hands. “W-what’s this?”“You said that the money will help you with tuition, didn't you?” I shrugged. “It’s the race money from that night. I want you to have it.”“Pakin, I—”“Think of it as a thank you gift for sticking around me for so long and not letting anyone know who I really am.” I gave him a small smile. “I’ll give the rest to Leon when I see him next.”With that, I drove back home alone. The quiet hum of the engine and the occasional sound of the tires against the road were the only company for my thoughts.I was exhausted, both mentally and physically, and after that display of bravado at the racetrack,

Chapter 28: Heart-to-heart Part 2

Pakin’s P.O.VMy mind flashed to Sean, to his confident smirk and the way his voice had carried such conviction when he was talking about racing and what it meant to be part of the team.Sean, who had believed in me when I hadn’t believed in myself. Sean, who had stood by me when I was at my lowest, who told me that I could overcome my fears too.The thought made my heart race in a way that this hug didn’t.I closed my eyes, trying to push the thoughts away. This wasn’t the time or place for such confusion. May needed my reassurance, and I wasn’t about to let her down.“You’re a good friend, May,” I murmured, pulling back slightly to look at her. Her eyes searched mine, and I gave her what I hoped was a comforting smile. “Really, stop worrying. Everything will work out.”She nodded, and this time it seemed like she believed me. “You’re sure you’re

Chapter 29: Jealousy, jealousy

Sean’s P.O.VThe sun wasn’t even properly up yet, and I was already at the track, leaning against my car and staring at the empty asphalt ahead.The faint chill of the morning air nipped at my skin, but I didn’t mind. I wasn’t usually the type to be up at this hour, and I could tell Coal was just as surprised as I was by my unusual punctuality.“Wow,” Coal said, stepping out of his truck with a smirk plastered across his face. “Sean ‘Mr. Fashionably Late’ is here before the birds are awake. What’s the occasion? Big test day or something else?”I rolled my eyes, already knowing where this was going. Coal had a knack for sniffing out anything remotely personal and turning it into a tease.“It’s for the test,” I said, trying to sound casual. “You know, making sure everything’s ready for the rookie.”Coal chuckled, crossing his

Chapter 30: Nothing Like It

Pakin’s P.O.VI watched Sean closely as he stood near Coal, his arms crossed and his jaw tight. His eyes flicked toward me briefly before darting away, his expression colder than I’d ever seen.May leaned closer, her voice soft but concerned. “What happened? I saw him come out, like he was going to greet us, but then he just… turned around and left.”I glanced at her, catching the furrow in her brow and the slight tilt of her head. She looked genuinely puzzled, but I could feel something deeper stirring beneath her words.Frowning, I tried to piece it all together. Sean’s abrupt shift, his stiff posture, the way he wouldn’t meet my gaze—it reminded me of the night at the bar.‘I don’t want to lose you to anyone else. So if it takes me saying it out loud for you to understand, then fine: You’re mine, Pakin. And I want you all to myself.’Sean&rs
