History of betrayal

The journey back home was quiet, filled with deep, disturbing thoughts and the repetitive play of earlier events that had probably taken a permanent place in everyone's mind. Racing through the darkness and slicing the eerie remaining night, the large vehicles of the crime lord made their way back to the mansion along with the assisting ones of the former lord....Mr Xavier.

The older didn't accompany king back to their place; instead, he left with his two trusty men for something else after he deposited the traitors inside the cars under his strict supervision, humiliating them as he did. King didn't know where the older was headed, nor did he question his father; knowing him, it was better to wait patiently and give Mr Xavier time.

And so, that's what king did.

Besides, king had pressing matters at hand to deal with. The operation was successful and rash, but the aftermath was much more. Such incidents, like declaring an attack on an enemy to wipe them out for good, take a while to sort out and then get back on track.

Plus, his lovely boy required most of his attention and for that king had to wrap things up a little fast.

Speaking of the boy....

Mago sat beside king, snuggled to his side, breathing softly. A whirlpool of emotions wavered his focus and the earlier scenes with his beloved Mr Ash occupied his mind, creating different hard questions that he needed answers for. The boy was a lot squirmy where he sat, uncomfortable with his both physical and emotional condition. Whatever he did, wasn't enough to find him the perfect place to set his tired body and relax and that produced a cutest whine from his mouth.

King, aware of the turmoil, placed his occupying phone aside and started carding his long fingers in Mago's nest-like hair, he practised a soft kiss that landed every few seconds over his small lover's forehead making Mago finally stop moving, the boy then heaved a sigh of relief and went lax in king's hold before he closed his eyes.

The sleep took over him like a secure blanket.

It wasn't until Mago was escorted into the extensive living room of the mansion, in the arms of his man, that he opened his bleary eyes and looked around clueless. He was back at the place Mago considered home, where people loved and cherished his presence and where he was safe and secure.

The boy was lost in his thoughts when king pressed a firm kiss on Mago's side face and started to lower him to the cold ground. Once Mago's small feet touched the tiled floor, he shivered. Closing the distance between king and himself, he tugged at older's arms, compelling him to pick him up again since the floor was not very pleasant at the moment but the demand remained on his tongue unsaid when a voice called him from behind.

"Baby..." the voice called making Mago spin on his heels instantly with wide eyes and a dramatic gasp. In his sight line stood not only Mickey but Jana as well, both the boys had a smile on their faces but Mickey seemed somewhat complaining. Just as they watched, an eye-blinding smile crept on his beautiful, squishy face before Mago dashed towards the duo without a care in the world and lunged forward for a group hug.

"Mickey!!....Jana!!..." Mago almost cried as he let himself be cocooned by strong arms and two warm bodies.

The reunion was emotional. Where Mickey clucked at Mago and checked him out thoroughly, eyes locking at the bruise on Mago's neck for a second long, Jana caressed Mago's back, hugged and squeezed his younger brother with affection.

King smiled while Charlton and Lucca shared an amused look. None of the older disturbed them, letting the trio have their time.

After what felt like forever, king deemed it fit to interrupt as he strode towards his small lover and his brothers.

"Take care of him Mickey and stay here for the night......" King started, voice loud and clear. Mago perked up at king's words and quickly reached his small hands for king to hold. The older obliged instantly and in a second, Mago was against king's chest.

"where are you going?" the boy mumbled out, not happy with the news. The crime lord smiled and leaned down to steal a long kiss from the boy's pouty mouth.

"I have to look after so much right now baby......you take rest and I will be back soon" he caressed Mago back lovingly and softly pushed him back towards Mickey, who held him close to his chest before Mago could protest again. The younger wasn't happy but Mickey was there to handle his unhappy baby happily.

"let's go" King said with a last look on both Jana and Mickey, his gaze softened on his boy and with a smile he left. Charlton and Lucca both followed suit obediently until king halted abruptly and turned to face Lucca.

"Where are you going?" he asked like Lucca was the stupidest man on earth while the other gave a similar reaction.

"Umm...

"Stay here with the boys Lucca and treat your wounds. You have done enough for now" King ordered with a hard look, he patted at Lucca's shoulder and with that he walked ahead with a smiling Charlton following.

...

Meanwhile, Jayce and Kangsu were brought back to the manor and were sent straight to the basement. There, Mr Chris already awaited his fate in the hands of the crime lord after he was caught mid-bitching about his lover and betraying his partners. Unaware of the happenings around, he had tried to coax a guard or two by offering them money in exchange for news but not a single interaction was allowed with the man under king's strict order.

Besides, Charlton was the personal monitor of the cell he was kept in.

Nevertheless, the wait was over.

The door of the room opened rather harshly, with a loud sound, and in entered a few guards along with the so-called boss and a painfully embarrassed Kangsu. Mr Chris's eyes turned owl-like as he watched them treated roughly, shoved inside and then locked in the same room just like he was some time ago.

The disbelief in his eyes turned into a question and he scurried forward towards his friend while Jayce sauntered to a corner for peaceful thinking.

"Kangsu? Boss?....what are you doing here?" he asked the most unnecessary question making Kangsu to from a glare on his face and Jayce to roll his eyes.

"I would have asked you the same...but I think I can guess better without words" Kangsu sassed, nose flaring with anger as he glared daggers at his friend in crimes. Mr Chris, of course, didn't appreciate the tone and retorted back almost immediately with the same burning tone.

"Don't smart mouth me Kangsu. I am here because that bastard Grey tricked me with that shit boy Mickey, they were involved in some planning and I fell victim. Do you know how betrayed I felt?" he cried out angrily, justifying himself and asking a ridiculous question but that didn't have any effect on Kangsu since he considered himself more wounded.

"Well, guess what Chris.....I got tricked too but unlike you, my trickster is right fucking here and I can't do shit. Do you know how betrayed I fucking feel?" Kangsu countered with gritted teeth, side glancing at Jayce who didn't even spare him a look of acknowledgement. Mr Chris noticed that he also looked at Jayce and then turned his attention back to his fuming friend.

"what do you mean?" he asked purposefully, poking the subject he knew was sensitive. Jayce, hearing that, fixed his gaze over the duo and waited for Kangsu to start.

Or maybe challenged him to start.

Kangsu scoff-chuckled humourlessly

"What I mean is that today marks the day of the worst betrayal in the history of betrayal and the lucky winner of that betrayal is me" he started dramatically, adding words to emphasize his feeling making boss roll his eyes at the overacting.

"That man was using me all this time to become the crime lord himself....." Kangsu pointed, intriguing Mr Chris's interest as the man frowned at the update. "....and when that didn't happen, which I am glad for, he fucking threw me in front of the wolves aka the crime lord and that boy and exposed everything like a fucking backstabber he is!!" Kangsu's voice raised gradually as he ended his rant, chest rising and falling while he looked at the boss accusingly.

Mr Chris had a totally different effect after what he heard, eyes blown wide, he looked at his dear friend as flashes of what could possibly be exposed and to what extent whirled past his vision.

"What...?" he gasped audibly, a look of horror crossed his features as he met eyes with Jayce for a second before returning to Kangsu.

".....and did he...." He asked again hurriedly, not wanting to hear something he couldn't handle yet wanting to know if he was as deep in the shit as he thought. The answer was quick, just a nod from Kangsu, that affirmed his suspicion and it was enough for Mr Chris to go pale in an instant.

Crap!!

"Yes Chris.....he did. The boy knows everything, he knows who killed his parents just because our so-called boss couldn't keep his mouth shut" Kangsu answered, railing boss in between his words, insulting him as he glared at him. The said insults didn't work the way they should to budge Jayce, he stood there nonchalantly, glaring, and listened while he withheld his opinions.

But for how long?

"Why did you do that?" Mr Chris bellowed angrily, he stepped closer as if to show he didn't care what the other was still capable of even inside the room or what his status was to the former lord. But his challenging tone had struck something in Jayce and the man finally snapped.

"I don't fucking owe you any explanation, Chris. I suggest you to shut the fuck up before I make you" Jayce gritted his teeth and just like that, Mr Chris took his encouraged step back.

"But you owe me answers boss... and you owe me plenty" Kangsu interrupted, eager to be listened "..tell me, why did you do that to me?" he asked breathing heavily.

"I didn't do anything!!..." Jayce finally yelled, his voice booming around making the duo suck in a sharp breath.

"I was to become the Crime lord and for that, I had to use any or everything that was in my vicinity and you weren't an exception," Jayce stated like it was the most normal thing he would have ever said, Kangsu was surprised as well as bewildered at the revelation of the true intentions of the man he had served blindly.

"What do you think of yourself Kangsu? A man that can't even handle a glass of wine after a few drinks, you think you are worthy of that status, the position is in itself a joke." Boss finished with a humiliating scoff. Kangsu was fuming by now while Mr Chris looked awestruck by Jayce's audacity.

He was a true fucking chameleon.

"you bitch!!!..." Kangsu roared, he lunged for Jayce but Mr Chris held him from his middle before he could act any further.

"What were you planning to do to me? What you and your sick brother were planning behind our backs?!!" he shouted as he asked, enraged with how manipulative Jayce could be.

"I would have killed you, simple" Jayce delivered casually, Mr Chris glared at Jayce while the friend in his hold only breathed harshly.

"After king's dismissal, you weren't a worry Kangsu. A flick of my finger would have buried you six feet under the ground" The declaration of his evil intentions pierced Kangsu's stubborn brain, he thrashed in Mr Chris's hold but others didn't let him go for obvious reasons.

"you are so cruel, boss. Whatever happens to you is what you fucking deserve, I hope you never know peace until you live and Mr Xavier sought the worst fucking punishment for you ever!!!" Kangsu screeched enraged, he got dragged to the other corner of the room while he cursed but those words left a thinking Jayce behind.

"pathetic..." he muttered but in his mind, a raging war surfaced. Mr Xavier was crueller than Jayce, what Kangsu said was not wrong and it spread dread in Jayce's chest. All he could hope was for a chance and even that seemed farfetched now.

...

King returned home when the sun was up and shining bright. After busting the ass of boss and his partners, king had raided all the remaining 'mole supply holes' that had come into their radar. Every possible location and hidden spots were searched minutely until the chosen ones were found and killed mercilessly.

The term 'purge' was used in the circle and King along with Charlton and his men were into the job just fine, creating examples for the others as the operation continued till morning.

King was tired to his bones, body aching in all possible ways, but an insatiable need to see and make sure his lover's health and condition encouraged king. After dismissing Charlton for the day, he made his way towards the hallway where the guest room allotted to Mickey and Jana was located.

Upon reaching, King peeked inside to find the adorable baby boy of his sleeping between Mickey and Jana, cocooned in a fuzzy onesie and draped with a large black blanket around him. 'Mickey must have showered Mago' King thought as his eyes lingered on the said boy who had a hand resting around Mago's waist while Jana had his fingers deep in Mago's hair.

How cute

An involuntary smile formed on King's features and he silently left the room for his own room.

Once inside, King rushed to get rid of his blood-soaked clothes and dumped them in the hamper before he jumped into the shower for a long hot shower. The hot spray instantly relaxed his nerves and tired muscles and a relieved sigh escaped his mouth. The worrying concern for Mr Xavier rested in a corner of king's mind, he wanted to see and have a talk with his father, maybe comfort, but all he had left was the option to patiently wait.

And so he did...

Sighing, King finished up his bath and dressed himself in loose trousers and a silky robe on his upper body. Afterwards, he made his way back to the guest room. In the dark, vacant corridors quiet in the morning as nobody was awake yet, his feet padded softly as he reached the door only for it to be opened from inside.

Both Jana and Mickey stood at the door looking horrified at the sudden arrival of King, a small gasp left Jana's mouth and Mickey slapped him across his back to silence him. The boy then straightened up and slowly opened the door wider for king to enter.

Without another word, King entered the room with full authority and walked closer to the bed where his sleeping baby boy was snoring softly against the pillow. Mago looked so soft with his growing locks creating hallow around him, his pink cheeks, bright pink nose and irresistible lips forming a pout that King had a hard time controlling himself from squishing the boy until a whimper of protest was heard.

But he reigned himself

Slowly, he manoeuvred Mago carefully until he was gently and completely carrying the boy along with his blanket. Looking at the boy, King sighed in contentment. He chuckled voicelessly when Mago rubbed his nose against king's naked chest to cater for his itch before going lax again.

Glancing at the duo, King then nodded his head once and left the room with similar commanding steps, taking his lover with him to their room for a long, undisturbed and very much deserving sleep.
