"I told you I will compensate you once I reached home, I really don't have any money on me." Yo shouted out tearfully.

"Ok ok, geez I only asked once.." the driver muttered as he tried to ignore the crying boy in his back seat.

Yo sniffed and apologied, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit touchy right now."

The driver offered him a sympathetic smile not daring to say another word in case he would get upset again.

Yo hung his head in shame, he felt sorry for taking out his frustration on him. He felt immensely relieved once he reached in front of his house, at least now he can escape from the judging eyes of the driver.

"Errr....are you sure this is where you live?" The driver asked cautiously eyeing Yo up and down. Although the clothes that he was wearing was expensive, it wasn't his size and the boy had dirty barefoot feet therefore the driver was sceptical. Yo got out of the car and approached the guards in front of the house. They nodded and one of them took out his wallet and approached the driver.

"Here is your money, keep the rest as tips and thank you for taking care of young Master."

The driver was dumbfounded, he took the money and watched as Yo made his way inside, so this was indeed his mansion! He nearly lost consciousness when he counted the money, he was paid the equivalent of half a year. The young Master indeed has blessed him that day.

Yo entered morosely and went directly to him room. He got out his Louis Vuitton bag collection and started putting in all his necessaries. He was lucky that his mother went to a social function else he would have had to explain everything to her. After doing his bags he called Ming.

"Yo! I was so worried, thank God you called. I was on the verge of going to P'Pha's office to search for you. Are you ok?"

A smile came instantly on Yo's face when he heard his friend's voice, Ming has this certain charm about him that can instantly feel better.

"I'm ok Ming, I just came home. I wanted you tell you that I'm going for a small vacation this weekend so don't try to contact me, alright?"

"What? Without me? How dare you! Where are you going like this that you can't bring me with you." He changed his voice into a sad one, " I thought we were best-friends and that we were supposed to travel together always."

"I'm not going to have fun, I'm only going to relax. And i know that you have to revise for your exams right? It's only for two days so need to be dramatic."

"Ok buddy. I get it now, you need to relax and clear your mind a bit. Have a nice vacation."

"Thank you." Yo cut the call then called his father next, "hey dad, you remember about this resort that you told me about? Can I go there this weekend?"

"The private resort? Of course you can but why all of a sudden?"

"I just want to get away and be alone for a while.." Yo trailed off as he thought of ways to explain to his father that he wanted to disappear completely from Pha.

"Is something bothering you son? You can talk to me you know..."

"Dad, I promise I will once I get back. Just take me there please and tell no one, not even mum. It's only for a weekend so she won't worry too much, i need this dad, please."

"Ok son, you know I won't refuse. I will contact them and inform them of your arrival. Get ready and tell the driver to take you there, he knows the place."

"Thank you dad, I love you."

"I love you too son and take care."

After his phone call he took a quick shower and got dressed. Checking whether he had all of his stuffs he decided to take along with him Pha's shirt. He wanted to take something of him in case he would miss him too much. Writing a short note to both his mother and brother, he told them that he was escaping for the weekend, not to worry and not to contact him. He finished with a love you note and a promise to bring them gifts. After hurling his bags outside he signalled his helper to get the driver to come inside the house.

"No need to bring the car to the front today, let's go directly from the garage and we will take the Ferrari."

The driver looked surprised and hesitant since his Master has ordered him to not let Yo drives the Ferrari because he drives like a maniac. Seeing his face Yo quickly assured him, "I won't drive don't worry. I just want to travel in the other car today, it's boring being in the same car for so long."

Satisfied with his answer the driver readily agreed and they set off towards the garage through the connecting door from inside the house itself. The drive to the exclusively private resort took almost six hours and upon arriving Yo was escorted directly to his villa which was situated deep within a forest. He was fully surrounded by Mother nature whereby he could hear the sound of birds singing and the distance sound of a waterfall. The place was so quiet and beautiful that Yo wanted to stay there forever. He left all his electronic devices behind on purpose, for two days he will be completely free and unreachable.

Meanwhile Pha was attending a meeting with the CEO and some board members. He looked at his watch for the tenth time.

"Do you have somewhere else to be Pha?" Forth asked him.

He looked up to see all eyes on him, he quickly gathered his stuffs and apologied, "I do have something important. Please excuse me." He left the meeting leaving all in charge of Forth.

Approaching his office he started giving out orders, "RoseBelle sent me the files which I told you about and clear the rest of my day. I will not be free as from 1pm."

He entered his office and proceeded to complete whatever work that needed to be done for the day. He seems to be doing that a lot lately and it's all because of Wayo. His baby left angry and now he will have to go to pacify him. He smiled affectionately, he loves pacifying Yo because the little guy would resist at first but then he would run back to him willingly. Pha never admitted it but he would miss Yo like crazy everyday, that's why he insisted on having him working with him, so that he can see his cute face at all time.

He glanced at the time and put his work aside, Yo must be having lunch somewhere with Ming because that was his routine these past few days. He tapped his fingers impatiently as he waited for his man to call him and to inform him of where Yo was lunching this time. He checked his mobile but no photos, he had his men taking out pictures of his every actions and to send it to him directly but the last pictures of him was when he was getting out of the taxi and entering his home. He sighed impatiently and decided to call Rock, the man in charge of supervising Yo.

"Why didn't you contact me?"

"Wayo didn't leave his house Sir. I think he is having lunch inside."

"Ok, notify me the second he set foot outside."

Pha hung up his phone in agitation, he needed to see Yo. He scrolled through his last pictures then decided to have a large bouquet delivered to his place, this way Yo will know that Pha was thinking about him. He added a cheesecake to the list also. Too bad, he was anticipating of seeing Yo eating his lunch in front of him because he loves seeing his expression and eyes whenever he eats. He eats with such a passion that Pha could get addicted just seeing him eat.

The first time that Pha has met him at the food court with Sam was all planned, when Sam came in and told him about this food court he jumped at the chance and went readily, just to stalk Yo. As for yesterday, he had too much work at the office to leave but he had his men recording his every moves. That was how he knew when to send him flowers and when to send him his cheesecake. Yesterday was fun, he enjoyed Yo's surprised face everytime a rose would pope up and he watched delighted as Yo bit into his cheesecake, he was so satisfied seeing Yo accepting his gifts.

This time he has decided that he would no longer play hide and seek, he wanted to lunch directly with him but unfortunately Yo was at home. Sighing, he went back to work to distract himself, he knew Yo would get out sooner or later. One hour later Rock was calling.

"Sir.....the flowers and cheesecake has been delivered but.....he's not at home."

"What do you mean? How can he not be home, you told me yourself that he didn't leave."

"Yes Sir, I did because we really didn't saw him leaving his house. Our men have their eyes glued on the front as always but the housemaid who accepted the gifts told the delivery man that he was not at home."

Pha scowled, "are you sure? What about his driver?"

"Sir, give me 5 minutes to investigate then I will call you back."

These five minutes seemed like hours to Pha who was starting to get worried, was he home or not? If not then where did he go? Just the thought of Yo being somewhere without his knowledge was enough to drive him crazy. 5 minutes later on dote Rock called again.

"I pretended to be a friend of his driver to the guards, they told me that he hasn't been seen since this morning. I guess he must have taken Yo somewhere without our knowledge."

Pha felt his stress building up on the back of his neck as he cut the call. He open his laptop and went directly into his tracking system. He had a tracking device installed into Yo's car so that he could easily track his car and know at any time where he was going but this time the device was indicating the Panichayasawad's mansion. That means either Yo was home or he didn't used that particular car, it almost seemed like Yo didn't wanted to be found.

But Pha won't give up, he located his phone next and felt immensely relieved when he saw that it was at Ming's. Yo must have gone to his best-friend's house, he should have known to check there first. He called Rock immediately, "his phone location is showing Ming's house. Get there and watched them, maybe Ming will take him to some sort of nightclub again. Notify me of his every actions."

Pha's relief was short lived when Rock informed him that Ming was at his University. Pha felt his heart rate increasing in fear, if Ming was in class then where was Yo? Abandonning his work completely he set out in search of Yo himself. He would go crazy he don't find him, he needed to know exactly where he was and what happened was doing for his mind and heart to be at peace.

In determined steps he prowl to his security office where the best of his men work. Throwing the door open he started giving out orders, "check the CCTV near Ming's house, I need to know if Yo went there."

He paced around impatiently as he waited for them to get the images.

"We got it Sir." The leader shouted and Pha went to stand beside him as the recording unfolded. There was no sight of Yo going to Ming's house. Pha made them searched up the images from all the cameras surrounding his house and the nearby streets but still none showed Yo. Trying to control himself, Pha tried to think of where Yo could be. He was getting more and more desperate by the minute.

After pacing around and trying to think of something it suddenly came to him. It was so simple, how could he not thought of this before! He simply has to go to Yo's house and asked for him, surely his family would know of his whereabouts. Scolding himself for not thinking of this before he ran to his car and broke all speed records getting to Yo's house.

Rolling his window down so that the guards could recognised him, he gave them a small nod as he passed by them. He was trying his best to act normal but inside he was a quivering mess. His hands were trembling with the efforts of holding his emotions into control. He gritted his teeth as he approached the front of the house, he swear he was really going to lock Yo up for good in his house this time once he finds him, how dare that little guy disappeared and made him worry so much!

Putting on his neutral face he got out and went to greet Yo's mum who has the door opened for him. She was already aware of his arrival because the guards informed her.

"Phana, did you came here to meet my husband? I'm sorry but he's not here but you can wait because he will be here shortly."

Nodding tightly, Pha followed her to the grand living room.

"You can wait here. What will you have? Some tea or coffee?"

He jerked at the mention of coffee, damned it, he woukd go crazy if he don't get to see Yo soon. He can't even think of coffee without thinking of him. Shaking his head he tried to smile, "no it's ok. I'm good. By the way where is Wayo?"

His mother gave a big sigh and suddenly appeared down, "I don't know myself. It's criminal the way he makes me worry about him. He went somewhere to relax and he don't want me to contact him."

"You don't need to worry about him darling, he is fine where he is. He contacted me."

They both got startled at the voice behind them. Mr Panichayasawad was home.

"He did? But why not me then? I'm his mother for god sake. It's me who loved him more than you, it's me who gave in to his every wants and..."

"Don't complain darling, don't you know that boys love their father the most? You can't do anything about it." He then turned to Pha, "come inside my office. We need to talk."

Pha followed him to his office as he fumed silently. He was playing Mrs Panichayasawad's words over and over again, Yo went somewhere? But where?

He settled down in a sofa as Mr Panichayasawad poured a general amount of whiskey in his crystal glass and extended it to him, "here."

"No thanks, I don't drink this early and I have to drive back."

"Take it, you will need it." Pha looked at him curiously as he accepted the glass. He took a big gulp and welcome the burn down his throat.

"So why are you here?" Mr Panichayasawad asked as he settled down in front of him.

Pha stared at him passively for a few seconds before replying, "I guess you know why, where is he?"

"What did you do to him this time?"

"Excuse me?"

Mr Panichayasawad snorted as he drank his drink in one go and got up to fetch another, "I said what did you do to him that he wants to disappear from everyone."

"I did nothing.."

"Then why did he came home barefoot and in clothes too big for him? You think I don't know what's going on under my roof, this is the last straw Phana. Heck, I couldn't believe it when the guards reported to me and I still couldn't believe it when I saw the CCTV footage with my own eyes." He let out a sarcastic laugh and gulped down his drink again.

Pha was deadly quiet, he knew that whatever he would say could be turned against him but at the same time he couldn't stop the forbidding feeling spreading through him.

"What do you mean?"he asked trying to keep his calm.

Mr Panichayasawad turned to look at him, his face was rock hard and his eyes were burning, " I have been suspecting for a while, I know my son and I know when something is not ok with him. But now I know for sure. Do you think I wouldn't come to know if you enter my son's room? In my own house? I found it a bit suspicious when you came here the last time for a very simple matter which was not necessary for a busy man like you. I checked the record and guess what? We talked for only 10 minutes but your car left my yard after more that 30 minutes, what were you doing in my house all these minutes then? I saw you leaving my son's room after checking the cameras, I even saw you sneaking your creepy roses inside."

Pha nodded, he has known from the beginning itself that he wouldn't be able to hide his relationship with Yo for long.

"Your son facinates me, I have never met someone like him before in my life."

"But I won't let you destroy his life, this one week itself was too much of him. He would often come home with puffy eyes which indicated that he cried. You're engaged Phana, you're my friend's son that's why I letting this go and because my son wouldn't have wanted me to harm you. Go back home and forget about him."

Pha looked at him in the eyes as Mr Panichayasawad spoke out finally, "you can't do anything. I sent him away, far away where you won't be able to find him. Your game is over now."

The sound of breaking glass echoed loudly in the room. Pha had crashed the glass in his hand with the sheer force of his anger and worry upon hearing those words. Blood came out from various cuts down his hand and dripped down on the pistine white carpet. He opened his hand and let the rest of the pieces to fall down.

He turned on his heels and headed straight for the door but he paused at the doorstep and looked back at Mr Panichayasawad with lifeless eyes.

"Do whatever you want, you can't keep me away from him. I will search every crook and corner until I find him. Yo is mine and will be mine always, no one, not even you can come between us."
