Vegas woke up and adjusted himself with his position.

His sanity kick him once again when the first thing that came into his mind was Pete.

Vegas tries to move his body only to found out that he was sitting in an old wooden chair, his hands were tied by a rope and same as his feet.

"Fuck." He cursed under his breath and tries to check on where he is.

The place was a large storage room. Few piles of boxes on the sides. There are also bodyguards on every corners, holding their guns.

"Where's Pete?" He asked himself in panic.

Vegas tried to move his hand but what he can only feel was pain.

The rope were drenched with the blood from Vegas wounds. He also had several wounds in his arms until his neck.

"Pete?!" Vegas shouted that made the bodyguards look at him. "Where's Pete?!" Vegas shouted once again yet no one replied.

Vegas was in the middle of the Storage room. There is no sign of Pete in here.

What if someone did something bad to Pete? Vegas refused that kind of idea in his mind.

No. Pete is alright, he reminds himself. He is probably somewhere and was hidden.

What if he looks for me?

Vegas only wished that Pete isn't locked up again.

Vegas already did it that he only wishes that Pete will not be locked in a room so that it will not trigger him.

"I am afraid that the person you're looking for is not here."

Vegas eyes narrowed when he saw the owner of that voice. Khun Ja was on the second floor of the storage room, looking down on him with an evil smile.

"What did you do to him?!" Vegas ask furiously as he tries to move the rope.

Vegas can only hissed when he felt the pain on his wrist as the wounds were rubbed with the rope.

"I didn't do something on him, Khun Vegas." Khun Ja said with a proud smile. "Or maybe his father did something."

"What?"

As Vegas was unconscious, he didn't know what happened after.

"I've heard from my men that Pete went to his father."

"What?" Vegas couldn't believe what Khun Ja has said.

Pete went to Khun Pat?

"See? I already told you. Pete will always choose his father."

"That's a lie." Vegas coldly said without any intention of believing what Khun Ja has said.

Vegas will only believe in Pete's words. The moment Pete told him that he will choose him, that is what Vegas was holding to. Pete will never leave him even for Khun Pat.

"I didn't expect that Khun Kan's son is also stubborn and tricky." Khun Ja said. "I also wonder what will Khun Kan think if I blamed him for the death of your lover's mother." Khun Ja said and laugh.

"What did you just say?!" Vegas angrily asked after hearing the last sentence.

"I said. I wonder if what will Khun Kan think that I blamed him for the death of Pam." Khun Ja said in a more specific way.

"You blame my father?" Vegas wanted to grab Khun Ja and strangle him with all the fury he feels right now.

"Correct!" Khun Ja then laugh. "It wasn't Khun Kan who killed Pam."

Vegas breathing became heavy as anger and disappointment invades his system.

So, after all this time, it wasn't his father's fault.

Using the gun he was holding, Khun Ja pointed himself. "I'm the one who killed Pam." He admitted and smirked.

Vegas can only angrily looked at Khun Ja. He is worse than he could imagine.

"I killed Pam during the failure of transaction with Khun Kan. Since Pam isn't that important, she was just counted as one of Red Empires members who were killed by Khun Kan."

So it was true what Fin and Dome has said. They weren't sure if Pam was killed by Khun Kan. It's just, Pam was there during the fight and since she's in the opposition, she's counted as one of the killed members of the Red Empire.

"Why? Why did you kill her?"

If Pam left the Main Family to become a spy for Red Empire, why will Ja kill her?

"Because I love her." Khun Ja answered and smile.

Vegas only wanted to sew Khun Ja's lips. Everytime he smiles, it made Vegas shiver in anger and fear.

"Love?" Vegas smirked. "How can you kill someone you love?!"

Or maybe Khun Ja never felt that.

"You killed Pam?"

Vegas tries to look on the person who said that. The voice was from the person behind him.

Vegas saw the bodyguards starting point their guards at someone behind him. A visitor came unexpectedly.

"Pat!" Khun Ja said and welcomed the person who just arrived.

Khun Pat arrived?

"Vegas..."

"Pete?!" Vegas eyes widened when he heard the familiar voice.

"Vegas. I'm here."

Vegas cannot turn around as he was still tied by this thick rope. While everybody's attention was focused to the arrival of Khun Pat and Pete; Vegas was also trying to untie the rope.

"Pat? Why are you here my friend?" Khun Ja asked sarcastically.

"Pete will never go with me. I'm here to take him to Vegas." Khun Pat answered.

"That's so romantic, really?"

"Did you just say that you killed Pam?" Khun Pat asked once again to avoid changing the topic.

Vegas look sideways and found Khun Pat stepping forward with his fist clenched.

Pete was walking beside his father. When Pete was about to reach for Vegas, guns were immediately pointed into his temples.

"Just stay there!" Vegas shouted.

This left Pete unable to move and stay besides his father.

"Yes. I killed Pam."

"Ja... Why?" Khun Pat's voice was full of helplessness.

"Why?!" Khun Ja exclaimed and laugh once again. He is definitely loosing his sanity. "Because she betrayed me, Pat!"

How come Pam betrayed her if she left the Main Family to work for the Red Empire?

"She told me she love me, Pat." Khun Ja's voice changed from being mad to sarcastic. "Pam told me that she left the Main Family for me." Khun Ja pointed himself.

So it was Khun Ja.

Khun Ja was the person Khun Korn has been referring to. Khun Ja was the reason on why Pam left the Main Family.

He is the love, Khun Korn was talking about.

"But what happened?! Pam made me believe with her lies! I risked everything for her even my relationship with my parents!" Khun Ja said with all of the madness.

Even though it has been more than two decades since Pam died, Khun Ja seems to carry the hatred in his heart until today.

"I thought she will choose me, Pat! She said that she loves me! Only for me to find out that she's carrying your baby!"

Khun Ja's voice were filled with resentment. Thinking about it, Khun Ja must have felt so betrayed from what Pam did to him.

She made Khun Ja believed that it was him but later on carry the child of Khun Pat.

"What? I thought the baby died as what she said! But what happened? I came across the information about Vegas lover only to find out that the baby is alive! The fruit of the betrayal you both did to me is alive!"

Vegas can only look at Pete as Khun Ja confessed everything.

Pete was only looking at the ground and motionless. Vegas knew that Pete has been overthinking what Khun Ja said.

The way Khun Ja express his anger were like unleashing the demons he kept for a hundred of years. He was swallowed by anger of what Pam did to him.

"Do you know the reason why you're still alive, Pat? It was because Gray has always been protecting you." Khun Ja said.

"But with Pam..." Khun Ja smiled. "If I can't have her then no one will."

"Ja..." Khun Pat's voice called the name of his friend.

Both Vegas and Pete can only weirdly look at Khun Pat when the man started to walk nearer.

"Ja... I'm sorry." Khun Pat said and kneel on the cold floor.

Pete was about to reach for Khun Pat to help him stand but he froze with what Khun Pat just said...

"Pam didn't betray you..." Khun Pat said. "I raped her... and forced her to have the baby."
