•BULLET TO THE HEART• [VEGASPETE] old memories, new flames

---

In the world of mafia every step you take has to be calculated thousands of times.

If you ever slipped here or there chances are that your mistake won't be a temporary damage on your reputation. It will forever haunt you.

But Vegas Theerapanyakul didn't gave a flying fúck about that.

In his defence he was already a black sheep in his family and he liked it that way. No need to act all sweet and fake towards anyone and get straight to the point. And best thing? There was no one to stop him. Not single soul held that power over him, because he made sure of that!

And right here he was, sitting leisurely in den with various files scattered in front of him which he skimming through.

Adjusting the glasses on his nose the minor family heir finally looked up at the head bodyguard of the family.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Anything you wanna say?

That deep voice could have cut through a smoke of thick fog. It held that much of a power.

But the person standing in front of Vegas was not some random person. Being a head bodyguard of the minor family had made this person rock strong to face any powerful soul, and this was Vegas Theerapanyakul... his boss.

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

The Rattakul family are going behind us and are doing deals with the Russians.

Vegas' lips tugged upwards as he chuckled humorlessly which turned into a full on laughing as he slid his moving chair back and leaned back on it.

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

*Bad sign!!*

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Don't you think you are a little too late at delivering this news to me?

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Or....

Vegas' smile fell just like his cheery voice did and become a serious accusatory tone.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Did Pa told you to not inform me earlier about this?

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

...................

Nop's silence was an enough answer for Vegas as he shook his head, unamused. But soon a devilish smirk tugged his lips.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Did you not met the Rattakul's heir in our basement?

A chill ran through Nop's body as his body stiffened. He should known this from the start. How can he underestimate the Vegas Theerapanyakul?

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

No, I didn't. I apologise for that, Khun.

Vegas wanted to play a little more but then he just shook his head. Nop was his most trusted man and he didn't wanted to pressure the man more playing games with him just to satisfy his ego. Taking a deep breath he resumed back on looking through the files.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Leave it. Tell me about what my Pa is up to?

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

...................

Frowning at Nop's unusual silence Vegas again looked up with an eyebrow raised.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

What is it?

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

Khun Gun is at the major family mansion.

Rolling his eyes Vegas again resumed his work. Not anymore interested in knowing what his Pa or the major family is upto.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

What is it about this time?

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Are they finally going to put Tankhun in the mental asylum?

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Or are they finally fixing the celibate King Khun Kinn Theerapanyakul's wedding?

Chuckling at his own jokes Vegas kept his focus on the files still but again he was met with the silence.

Finally his patience snapped as he groaned and looked up, peeling his glasses off.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Blurt it out, Nop!

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

The Saengtham's are back in Thailand and they are going to visit the main clan. To.... To talk about their son's and Khun Kinn's marriage alliance.

As soon as the words fell on Vegas' ears, everything around him went silent. Saengtham. The surname bringing out those kept away memories back in mind. That dimpled smile boy looking at him with those warm eyes.

That soft hand ruffling his hair while giggling at something Vegas said to him.

That honey-filled voice calling for him from afar, just for him.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

(whispers) Pete...

Oh how could he forget that very person who was always there by his side?

But then Nop's words finally registered in his mind as a flare of anger rose in his heart. His face finally showing who he really was.... Evil.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

My Pete is going to marry that fúcking Kinn!?

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

How can he!?

A snapping sound was heard and Nop quickly averted his gaze towards the direction only to see the pen Vegas was holding has broken in two. Vegas didn't cares though.. his mind already taking drastic decision on its own.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

I won't let it happen.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

After all these years of living in agony, I can't just let Kinn take away the only person away from me who was the sole reason for my sanity!

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

And if I have to play dirty for it.... then so be it!

By saying that Vegas rose from the sit. His eyes now focused and feral. Nop very well knew that this wasn't the time to open his mouth and give his unsolicited advice as Vegas will just shoot him right between the eyes. So like a sensible man that he is, he quickly stood straight and waited for what order Vegas has for him.

vegas theerapanyakul🥀

Call our men for emergency meeting.

nop [minor family head bodyguard]🥀

On it, Khun!

And with that both men were out of Vegas' den. Things were about to get very very tense.

. .

Brotherhood in mafia is always concept not many people have trusted on.

Infact running a mafia empire with family members itself sounds dangerous to everyone.

No one can be trusted.

Blood is thicker than water. But here, in the mafia the phrase is used in its whole form which is, the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

But The Theerapanyakul brothers never thought like that. Ever since Korn and Gun took the reigns of major and minor families they both worked with each other without any conflict.

No competing with each and nor trying to compete their son's with each other. They are together, sticking to each other like glue. Although there is one obvious exception... Vegas.

Right now both Korn and Gun were sitting in the hall of the major family mansion waiting for the Saengthams to arrive, sipping their tea as they watched the diva of the house walking back and forth.

gun theerapanyakul🥀

You know that walking like this will only make your legs hurt, don't you?

tankhun theerapanyakul🥀

Ugh! Uncle I'm not just walking! I want to bring more drama into the situation we are all in!

tankhun theerapanyakul🥀

You know in dramas how when the actor is stressed they walk back and forth? That's exactly what I'm doing!

tankhun theerapanyakul🥀

I'm doing this for the plot!

Korn all but sighed. He was used to his eldest son's shenanigans, but it didn't made him angry or ashamed. Tankhun was his first child and his favourite on that. He might act quite unhinged and silly but when it came to any serious situations, Korn knew that Tankhun would be first one to suggest a logical solution.

Meanwhile Gun laughed heartily at his nephew. This is why he loved coming to the major manor. He loved more people and he even tried to bring Macau with him and Vegas was always there to stop him, stating Macau doesn't needs anyone else other than his brother.

gun theerapanyakul🥀

*When will Vegas understand the importance of family? God is there anyone who will change my stubborn son?*

tankhun theerapanyakul🥀

(yells) Pete!!!! Oh my god you are finally came back!!!

Everyone startled by Tankhun's scream up only to come across a young man, smiling warmly while flashing his cute little dimples.

And maybe this was the sign universe has sent in return for Gun's question.

Because Pete Saengtham was finally back in Thailand.
