Hi lovelies! đź’«
Welcome to Chapter 13
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"You don't have to look so scared," Win said, his voice, almost amused, as he glanced at Nani who was beside him. They were nearing the gates of the Thamnithit estate, the car humming quietly beneath them. Evening shadows stretched long and slow. It was almost 7 PM.
"He's not going to do anything... too bad. I think he loves you, in his own fucked up way."
Nani sat rigid in the passenger seat, eyes darting nervously, lips pressed tight.
It was nearly 7 p.m., and Nani was dressed differently from what the guard had given him the day before. Win had taken him to a boutique earlier, insisting on a makeover. His hair was now a softer, lighter brown that matched his eyes. He was dressed in a deep necklined,long sleeved black lace button down and matching trousers both semi transparent, offering a peek at Nani's smooth milky skin and giving off a sensual, daring allure.
He looked ethereal. And every person who saw him knew it.
"You know how he is," Nani muttered, worry cracking his voice. "I don't want him to cause a scene."
He looked down at his hands.
"And Sky doesn't love me. He's just obsessed because he hasn't fucked me yet. That's all I am to him something he hasn't owned yet. Once he gets what he wants... he'll throw me away."
Win chuckled darkly, shifting the car into park. "I'm not sure about that. But don't beat yourself up, Nani. At least not yet. Tonight? He won't act out. Not here. No matter how insane Sky is, even he's smart enough to fear his father. He won't make a scene."
Then Win smirked.
"The worst he might do is fuck you."
"Phi, don't say that," Nani said, eyes wide, cheeks tinted pink.
Win turned fully to him, gaze sharp, unwavering. "Have you even looked at yourself tonight? If I were him, I'd fuck you until you couldn't walk."
Nani blushed harder, eyes darting away as he hurried out of the car. Win followed, smug, and they made their way toward the lavish garden where the party was in full swing. The soft glow of golden lights flickered through the trees. Music and laughter spilled into the air like expensive perfume.
Heads turned the moment they entered. Nani's presence, beautiful and haunting, drew attention like blood in the water. Win led him to an empty table and signaled a waiter.
As Nani took in the scene, he realized quickly that this wasn't just a party, it was a power gathering. Ministers, CEOs, politicians, and their polished families. These were people who mattered. People who built empires with their words. He didn't belong here. He was just... decoration. A pretty thing someone brought along to admire.
Even Win's parents were here.
Nani sipped his drink, eyes scanning. He couldn't stop himself.
"Are you looking for Sky?" Win asked.
Nani nodded. "Yeah."
Win jerked his head toward the back of the garden.
"He's over there."
And there he was Sky. Standing beside his parents, smiling as he shook Dew's father's hand like the perfect son-in-law. Dew wasn't there. But Praew was. She clung to Sky's arm, radiant in a white dress, laughing at something he said.
They looked... good together. Comfortable. Familiar. Like they belonged.
Nani's chest tightened. It was like watching the truth manifest before him in HD. Maybe this really was the end. Maybe it was never a beginning at all.
He turned his head away.
Win didn't say anything.
"Do you think they're official now?" Nani asked softly.
"I don't know," Win replied, eyes distant.
"She looks happy. She must love him a lot."
Win scoffed. "I don't know if she loves him. But I know her father sent her. Dew's dad is a power hungry bastard he'd sell his own daughter to a monster if it meant rising higher." His voice dripped with bitterness.
Before Nani could respond, a voice cut through the noise.
"P'Win, let's talk."
It was Dew.
Nani looked between the two of them. Win's jaw clenched, but he didn't object. He didn't ask Win what was going on between him and Dew.
Win looked like he didn't want to talk about it last night so Nani didn't ask.
"Nani, I want to talk to him alone, please," Dew added, directly this time.
Win gave a small nod.
Nani stood, collecting his phone from Win-he hadn't touched it in over 24 hours.
"I'll go to the restroom," he said quietly, then turned and walked away.
As soon as he turned his phone on, his heart jumped.
Messages. So many.
From Sky.
A flicker of hope he had thought about him.
But when Nani clicked on the thread... every message was gone.
Deleted.
All thirty plus messages. Erased like they were never meant to exist.
He just stared at the screen. Cold dread creeping into his chest. What did it mean? Guilt? Regret? Manipulation?
He wanted to reply. To say something. But what was there left to say? They weren't even together. Not really. Just a sick, toxic loop. A situationship built on obsession and possession.
He found himself standing in the lobby, phone still in hand. He didn't even remember walking there.
He wasn't pressed. He didn't need the bathroom.
He just needed to get away from that garden. From Sky's smiles. From Praew's perfect laugh.
From the image of them that still burned into his mind like a brand.
The way Sky had looked at her.
The way he had fucked her.
Nani blinked hard, but the image wouldn't go away.
