5. Bug

PRESENTLY.

scorpion walked down the stairs with a smile on his face. Who would have thought a woman would make his morning? He had recently been buried in the thoughts of making sure he sends her away because he couldn't stand the constant glare Nolan had been giving him. He had stayed with him long enough to know what those stares mean.

He is obviously marking his next prey.

It is not the best idea to get noticed by Nolan for pissing him off, it could be deadly. Nolan is a heartless monster. He couldn't care less about how you feel, it's not his problem and he would never be bothered by your pain. He derives pleasure from torture.

He walked into the large dining room and Nolan wasn't there. The maids arranged different dishes on the table and nobody made mistakes. They were all terrified for they knew that the heartless man was not in one of his best moods. He had not been out since the previous day and no one was allowed in his room for they knew the outcome of it.

His mood swing was his life before he met Kyla. He became a changed person just for her. When she died, she died with his joy, and now it was just Nolan but twice as heartless as he was.

He has cooled off by now.

Scorpion took the elevator and went up. He was rehearsing what to say to his heartless man. After all, it is his responsibility to care for him, just as he also cares for him. No matter how monstrous he could be when he is angry, he never takes it out on him. They always shared this brotherly bond since he wasn't close to any of his brothers. But he was the instigator of the anger this time, hence, he wasn't certain that he was going to come out of the room alive.

He knocked mildly not paying attention to the eyes that stared at him. Someone had to make a move and that someone was him. The bodyguards in front of the door stared at him with sympathy in their eyes, like they were bidding farewell to him.

He opened the door calmly and walked in. The room was dark and dead silent. A falling needle could be heard from any angle in the large chambers, it was that silent.

The room was empty. There was no one in it. Nolan was nowhere to be found.

Where is he?

His heart pounded underneath his chest like it was going to burst open in a minute. He walked calmly because Nolan could be very tricky.

Fuck it! he was panicking.

Nolan had never played a trick like this before. He walked into the bathroom and he wasn't there. He opened his massively Large closet. His eyes widened in shock at what he saw. It was like a mall.

The maids were right, this is a different world.

His steps were calm, and he walked warily because no one had ever entered that room before, except his special maids which were just two. This was a risk he was taking here.

He went there looking for Nolan but was mesmerized by what he saw. He just stood there blown away when he the voice he heard behind him.

It sent ice from his head to his toes.

"Find what you search for?" His deep voice echoed in the room. Scorpion was breathless. He closed his eyes knowing full well that he was a goner.

This is it. This is how it all ends.

"Turn around slowly, hands above your head". His eyes were directly on the figure that stood before him. His face was expressionless. He looked grim.

Scorpion gulped his saliva on seeing his face. He felt his blood draining down slowly as he turned white from the stare. Nolan's eyes were fixed on him.

"Of course it is you, you're dead". Scorpion's eyes widened for he knew what that meant. How did he forget that this cruel person was the biggest bully he had ever met?

"No, no, n ..... ". Before he could resist, Nolan was already grabbing his left ear. He tilted his neck to the direction where Nolan drew his flesh as he yelled in pain

"Ahh, please wai .... ". He cried out in pain as he managed to break free from the grip and looked for the nearest exit.

"Hey, you better come here, I'm not done with you ". Scorpion tried to escape by running as they ran around the shoe glass at the center of the closet.

"You want them, don't you". His breath was heavy due to the chase he was pulling with Scorpion.

"N-no, I just want you t... " He was already running again not getting any chance to speak from Nolan.

"You fucking want my babies, and you're so dead". They kept going back and forth. Their eyes checked each other's moves.

"Just have breakfast and ..." He bent down to dodge the shoe that was being thrown at him.

Fuck why did I walk right into this trap?

The attacker and the runner. They just kept pacing in circles as they pulled their best escape tricks. Nolan went left and scorpion, right as they did in opposite directions over and over again until scorpion managed to run to the exit door and ran for his life.

Carolyn walked out of the closet wearing the new pair of clothes that was given to her by the maids. She just had the most amazing experience in the history of bathing. She felt so alive and smelled so fucking good.

Her soft white skin glowed under the black cotton cloth. Her hair was parked up in a ponytail. Her eyes were bright with happiness. It had been so long since she felt good about herself. Just earlier, that hot guy was nervous when he was talking to her. That was an improvement.

She looked at the clothes she wore. They looked fucking expensive and way out of her league. He must be very wealthy.

"Don't you fucking come back to my room if that bug is not out of this house". Nolan raced his hands through his hair as he let out that frustrating sound.

Scorpion had been a big pain in the ass since he knew him. It had been so long since they fought physically and he kinda missed it. They went everywhere together and honestly, he cannot do without him. He was the only person that gave him the strength he needed to move on.

Damn it! That idiot pissed me off.
