Chapter 30: Keeping Secrets Kit: “No…because I won’t be staying here much longer.” Kit, Earth and Ben stared at their friend in surprise and confusion. “What?” Prem looked down at his meal, not answering the others as he continued to stay silent. The three boys exchanged nervous glances, wondering what this was all about, but not being able to find a reasonable explanation. “Prem?” Ben finally spoke up. “What did you just say and explain in details what it meant.” However, Prem shook his head, smiling at his friends like he hadn't said anything at all. “Nothing. You guys must have heard me wrong. Let’s get back now. The bell is about to ring.” Just as Prem said so, the bell signaling the end of lunch hours, rang loud and clear, all over the university and the four boys got up from the floor, dusting off their garments as they headed back downstairs to attend classes. Kit however, kept looking at Prem from the corner of his eye and he felt like he could tell almost instinctiv

Chapter 32: Awkward ConversationsKit:Kit stood next to his sister on his balcony that overlooked the vast gardens of the Ayutthaya mansion.It should’ve been a joyous reunion, after all Kit had been through a life and death scenario not too long ago and meeting his sister after a long time, even though it had been only a few days, after that incident…it felt surreal.However, now it just felt awkward.He hadn't expected to come home to find her kissing P’Kim’s older brother…And it was only after the thought had passed that he realized that he had just considered P’Kim’s mansion as his ‘home’.“So…it’s been a while…hasn’t it?” P’Kanya asked him hesitantly, rubbing her hands together constantly. “Sabai dee mai?” (How are you?)“Sabai dee khab,” (I’m fine) Kit nodded awkwardly. “How…”“Karthot…” Kanya lowered her head, feeling embarrassed. “I didn’t…I honestly don’t even know what I was thinking…but I was wrong…”“Mai pen rai na phi,” Kit shook his head, not wanting his sister to feel

Chapter 34: A New AllyKim:Kim woke up with a start, his entire body drenched in cold sweat and his senses already on high alert.Even before he regained consciousness, his senses had alerted him to the threat in the room, but as he went to reach for the gun that he always placed under his pillow when he slept…not only did he not find any traces of the said weapon, but a sharp pain shot up the entire right side of his body, making him wince as he lowered his arm, trying to rake his memory as to what had happened.“Take it easy there Nong,” a very familiar voice spoke from right next to him. “You just got out of surgery.”Kim looked to his side, watching P’First’s lips tilt up in a smirk as he stared down at him from the seat next to the bed. “Good morning.”“P’First…” Kim looked around the sterile white walls of the hospital, the sound of a monitor beeping next to his ears finally registering on his senses. “What…what happened?”In all honestly…after the bullet had hit him in his che

Chapter 36: A Familiar AdversaryKim:The helicopter landed within the perimeters of the Ayutthaya estate, right in the centre of the territory and he helped Kit get off the copter once the blades had settled and his guards had held the door open for them.Kla and Kaya stood waiting for them to arrive and even from a mile away, Kim could sense the tension between them.If Kit hadn't already told him about what had happened between his Phi and Kaya, then Kim would’ve thought that the two of them were simply quarreling over petty matters, or that P’Kla was still mad about the fact that he had brought two unknown people into their property…into their lives.But now Kim knew that wasn’t the case. So maybe…he could find a way for Kaya and Kla to accept their feelings for each other along with Kit?Because there was no way he was actually going to listen to Kaya’s insane demands of trying to find a job and moving out. Not under any normal circumstances, and especially not now when there was

Chapter 38: Mixed Emotions Kim: As soon as Charan Ayutthaya left the manor with a disappointed expression, rushing his steps as he made it to his awaiting car in record time and sped out of the driveway, Kim and Kla both turned to Kanya, who had been sitting quietly all this time, knowing what was coming as soon as the cost was clear. “Kaya…” Kim’s voice was harsh, almost a warning as he narrowed his eyes at the woman who he called his best friend. “What exactly were you thinking when you spoke to Khun Lung?” “I wasn’t thinking, that’s the problem.” Kanya answered with a sigh, looking down at her hands on her lap. “I just knew that I didn’t want that man to pressure you into doing something that you didn’t want to do. That’s why I choose to step in…but now that I think about it, maybe this is the best way for all of us.” Kim’s eyebrows shot up at that statement. “Do elaborate.” He spoke, a touch of sarcasm in his voice. Kanya instantly knew that he was angry, because Kim only sou
