《Steal The Male Lead》2.17
Advertisement
Louis held onto Sam's hand, a look of pure ecstasy on his face as he looked at Sam's figure, leading him through the crowd.
His heart skipped against his chest, and he smiled like a fool. This man was going to be the death of him.
Louis was simple. He prioritized everything in his life, and right now, Sam was his number one most important goal out of anything.
When he had took over the underworld, Louis didn't think much of it. It was just a way for him to relieve his stress and clear away his anger. But, seeing how everything ran within his palm, Louis wasn't foolish enough to just give up the position that he had unknowingly taken.
Using his new fame within the underworld, he had his own group of followers. With that, Louis' name got widely spread and his own people were feared in the underworld. Then, Louis's friends joined in. First it was Blaine, then Jon also came in, and then the twins, Luka and Lucas, followed too.
Louis didn't care. He merely ruled with an iron fist. That was until he met Sam.
With just one glimpse, his whole world was forced to curve with the beating of his heart.
Sam was enchanting, a beautiful meaning and pure happiness to Louis' whole life.
Louis abandoned everything in the underworld to get a chance of pursuing this man. Cold hearted on the surface, even so, Louis was willing to do anything to make this man his.
Everyday Louis met Sam, he only fell in love with him more. Louis didn't try to hide the fact that he loved Sam, he made it well known. He even got acquainted with Andy just for Sam. With time, Louis got to know Sam even more.
To Louis, Sam was the flare that lit on the coldest of day, the sun that shone on the darkest of days. Sam gave Louis a reason to have hope within this world. For Louis, Sam was the reason why he was who he was today.
Louis was never going to give this man a reason to leave him. He was going to love this man until the day his soul was shattered into a millions pieces. He was going to make a thousand different reasons as to why he was the perfect man for Sam, that he promised.
He still needed to thank Andy too. After all, if it wasn't for Andy, Louis would've never met the man who would become his lifeline.
"Hey, Sam, have I told you today how much love you?" Louis couldn't help but say, looking intensely as Sam turned to look at him with a dumbfounded look.
"Louis, you've already said that, this is your fifth time saying that." Even though Sam meant to say that in an exasperated tone, the pink blush upon his face distracted Louis.

"I love you, I'm so glad I was able to meet you in this lifetime." Louis couldn't help the sweet and loving words that spewed from his mouth.
"You..." Sam tried to rein in the blush upon his face.
Louis laughed delightedly as he saw Sam's face. Holding tightly onto the man within his arms, the expression on his face could make even the sun blush with shame.
"Sam, I will never let go of you. I will never give you a reason to cry, I will never let your heart be in pain. So long as I am alive, I will sacrifice anything in return for you. You are the sole reason why I was born and you will remain the sole reason. Sam, thank you for giving me a chance to love you." Louis' eyes were filled with incomparable warmth. His smile made Sam's heart flutter, and Sam couldn't help the very light smile that appeared on his own face.
"Alright then, since you said so, if one day, you ever break your words, I will never forgive you." Sam turned his face away from Louis, not wanting him to see the emotions in his eyes.
"That day will never come. Not now, nor in the next lifetime when you and I meet once more." Louis turned Sam's face towards him, giving him a very quick kiss on the lips.
This man was his, this man was the most important person of his life.
Jon knocked down a man in the face with a single punch, a wicked smile on his face.
"Bring it on, weaklings!" Jon couldn't hide the pure joy in his eyes, almost appearing crazy.
Blaine held his hand up towards his forehead, massaging his temples as he turned to a man by his side. "This is why I tell you all to never follow his orders. He is pure recklessness and I can't have fifty other people following his actions."
The man who heard Blaine merely laughed as he watched Jon.
Avian shook in fear, watching as Jon pummeled down anyone who took a step towards him. He knew that Crimson Nez was full of people with unfathomable strength, but he hadn't thought they would be this merciless.
Cody didn't make a move, only watching with a cold look in his eyes, his members protected by his decision.
On the other hand, Sadie and Mary's face were twisted as they watched their own people getting beaten up.
Jon, though, was utterly exhilarated, his eyes a pitch darkness with an eerie effect.
Jon threw down the person running towards him, an audible loud sound echoing as he kicked the man in the stomach, a loud crack sounding out. The man doubled over in pain.

Like the god of war, Jon stared at everyone with his grin still on. Surrounding him, a mountain of people were stacked on top of each other, looking like a pile of corpses had piled up at his feet.
"Anymore? I have plenty of time." Jon stepped forward as he said so, everyone else stepped back as he walked closer to them.
"Jon." Blaine called out sternly, issuing out a warning before Jon went too far.
Jon turned back, the murderous glare within his eyes residing. "Don't worry, I know our task, Blaine. Take down the Black Blaze and their crew, get rid of Avian Stollin. The rest of the people are free to do as they wish. Ordered by the leader, it must be finished by today."
Avian's eyes widened, shook and fear within them. What? Get rid of his crew? Avian didn't even know why Crimson Nez would want to get of his men. He didn't want to let all his hard work go to waste, after all, he had spent over two years painstakingly building up this gang.
He had used a bunch of money to eliminate any threat in his way and climbed up to be one of the most powerful gangs in the underworld. He had used so many resources to get the position he was in, not to mention, if he lost his power, all the people he had provoked would come after him.
But as Avian paid closer attention, the people in front of him began to look familiar.
While Avian was struggling, Sadie couldn't help but smirk. "So this was your goal in the beginning? Getting rid of Avian Stollin and the Black Blaze? If you had said so at the beginning, my Poison Mist would've helped you. This man and his people are simply a thorn in these eyes of mine, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who thinks so."
As if getting the hint, Mary couldn't help but show an entrancing smile. "Crimson Nez, Sadie is correct. Just getting rid of Black Blaze, if you had said so, I would've immediately send my Vernal Death to get rid of them. There wouldn't have been any need of these misunderstandings and no one would've gotten hurt. Well, except for Black Blaze, that is." Mary didn't hesitate to throw Avian under the bus, calculation within her eyes as her brain wired up a plan.
Avian snapped awake with their lines, disbelief within his eyes. He had thought that he had built good connections with both of these people but reality proved him wrong.
"Wait, you're agreeing with them?" Avian couldn't help but speak out, if not, everything he had worked for would truly be destroyed.
Sadie smiled arrogantly, "Did you think you had everyone running within the palm of your hand, dear Avian? The fact that you secretly sent spies into each of our gangs, we had all agreed not to speak of so long as you didn't take it too far. Now, give this perfect opportunity to get rid of you and your people, why should we hesitate? Crimson Nez, we won't need you here anymore. Thank you for giving us the perfect opportunity to get rid of Black Blaze and Avian. We will definitely perfect this mission and wait for your leaders orders."
Saying so, Avian found a crowd of people turning towards him and his crew. Then, they all immediately launched themselves into combat.
"See? Didn't my plan work? Just strike up some mess, then say a few words and they would be at each other's throat. Like this, we clean our hands and get rid of the people who need to be ridden of. This time, I didn't act reckless, shouldn't I be given a reward?" Jon turned away from the glob of people and looked at Blaine. With a playful light within his eyes, he smiled so beautifully as he looked into Blaine's eyes.
"We need to go back now. Everyone, let's return before this mob disappears." With Blaine's words, the Crimson Nez that had appeared out of nowhere retreated back into hiding. Until they were needed again, they would stay hidden unless commanded by Louis himself.
Daniel held a pen in his hands.
Biting it at the tip, his phone began ringing as he directed his attention towards it.
"Hello?" Daniel asked. He had looked at the screen first and upon seeing the name on the screen, he immediately answered it.
"Daniel, if it doesn't inconvenience you, would you be willing to go out with me to a party?" Andy's voice was normal, still cold with little to no emotions but Daniel felt his heart warm in a flash.
With a foolish smile on his face, Daniel replied "No, I'll be able to go. Where is it being held, I'll pick you up."
"Alright then, I'll send you the information over text. Thank you." Andy ended the call right after, not lingering even one second.
Daniel only looked at the phone in his hand, a warm and foolish looking smile on his face.
How had he not notice Andy before?
This man was simply out of this world, a healing sense of feeling into his heart.
Daniel wish he could give this man the world, and promised that he would love this man forever.
