Liam's Pov

Fear and Anxiety.

Those were the two emotions that were currently coursing through my body.

I was so wrapped up in the fact that I might have developed feelings for Tankhun that I almost forgot about the diamond auction.

The most dreadful auction ever because of what happened.

Vegas drugged Porsche and almost took advantage of him. The others rescued him but Kinn ended up taking advantage of Porsche and they had sex without consent.

I know Kinn tried to resist, but he ended up giving in and still had sex with Porsche when he knew that he wasn't in the right state.

Porsche was still taken advantage of and the next day he was punished.

Ugh! I want nothing more than to beat both Vegas and Kinn but I must remember that it hasn't happened.

It WON'T happen!

Not on my watch.

I refuse to let that happen. No way in hell am I going to let my brother get taken advantage of.

Just the thought of that happening makes me sick to my stomach.

The others were ready and they were alright with waiting for me but I told them to head off without me. I told them to take Kinn and head to the auction and I would catch up when I could. 

They were confused, and concerned, but I reassured them that everything was alright and that I just needed to make sure I had everything.

They reluctantly agreed and said they'd meet me at the auction before leaving.

When I was alone in the bathroom I splashed some water onto my face and let out a sigh.

I turned off the water and looked up, staring at me reflection in the mirror with an expressionless look on my face.

Can I stop the drugging from happening?

Could I keep Porsche away from the bar to stop the entire thing from happening?

What if he gets suspicious? What if Kinn or the others get suspicious?

Can I even do this...?

What if I mess up? What is the assault still happens because I'm not strong enough to stop it?

What if Porsche ends up getting hurt? What if everything goes downhill and it's all my fault?

I let out a frustrated sigh and took out my phone from my pocket. I turned it on and went to the gallery.

A soft smile appeared on my face as I clicked on a photo of my mom and dad.

They had taken me to the park late at night because I had just finished an exam and they wanted us to do something fun. 

They believed that I deserved it after all the hard work I did.

And can I just say that we had so much fun. We did almost everything together the entire night, not once we were tired.

Mom and dad were sitting up on the monkey bars and I took the picture to capture the memory.

I let out a soft sigh and gently traced the outlines of my parents on the photo.

"What would you do, mom and dad? What would you do in my position?" I softly asked.

Sometimes I wish my parents were still here, I wish they were by my side to help guide me through this.

Well, alright, I know what to do and I know how to plan everything.

But, I just wish they were here to give me the confidence that I need.

I sighed and scrolled to the next photo, another smile appearing on my face when I saw what it was.

It was a picture of Jack and I when we were younger.

"What would you do, Jack? What can you tell me that'll help?" I softly asked.

I gasped when a hand was placed on my shoulder and I panicked, I thought it was another bodyguard and they would report to Korn I had my phone.

However, when I looked up at the mirror, my eyes widened in disbelief.

It was Jack...

It was my best friend, my brother, my soulmate...

"Jack" I whispered.

"Hey, buddy. How are you doing?" Jack softly asked.

My eyes watered and I let out a watery laugh, trying to hold back my tears and a whimper that threatened to come out.

"H-How a-are you here?" I asked, stuttering.

Am I hallucinating? Am I going crazy that I'm seeing things, specifically my best friend?

"That's not important right now. What's important is that I'm here. And I'm here to tell you that everything is going to be alright" Jack softly said.

I frowned and turned around to face him.

"You know what's going to happen tonight?" I asked.

Jack smiled at me and nodded.

"Do you believe that I can do this? Do you believe I can save Porsche?" I softly asked.

Because I certainly have doubts.

I don't know if I can do this.

Jack frowned and brought his hands up, cupping my face gently as he caressed my cheeks with his thumbs.

"Liam, there's nothing to be afraid of. I know how strong and determined you are. I know that you can do this" he stated.

"But, what if I screw up? What if I do something wrong and Porsche still gets taken advantage of?" I asked.

Tears well up in my eyes and slowly fall down my face.

God, I feel useless right now, I don't even know where these emotions came from.

Jack sighs and gently wipes my tears away, it was weird because it felt like he really was here.

Even though I know better than that...

"You won't screw up anything. If there's one thing I know is that you're strong and smart. You know what happens in this episode and I know that you're not going to let anything bad happen to Porsche.

He gently presses his forehead onto mine, staring straight into my eyes.

"You're a fighter, Liam Santiago. Remember that. Use that for tonight and don't let anything nor anyone stop you" Jack sternly said.

I let out a sigh and burrowed my face into his shoulder, inhaling his scent.

I fluttered my eyes close and melted into his touch as he hugged me, leaning down to kiss my head.

"You're a fighter, buddy. I believe in you" Jack whispered.

A gasp escaped my lips and I reopened my eyes.

A frown appeared on my face when I saw that I was alone in the bathroom. No Jack in sight.

Had I really been hallucinating...?

"Snap out of it, Liam. I can't think about that right now" I muttered.

Quickly, I splashed myself in the face before stuffing my phone into my pocket and exiting the bathroom.

I've already wasted enough time and I can't waste anymore when I've got a mission to do.

It's time for operation keep Porsche safe from any danger.

At The Diamond Auction
Nobody's Pov

Kinn had to admit that he was getting bored of the auction and listening to people bid off tons of money just for the diamonds.

While the bidding was going on, Tae turned his attention over to where Porsche was.

"Wow, Porsche looks handsome tonight" Tae complimented.

He tore his eyes away from the handsome bodyguard and turned to Kinn.

"He's like an oppa" Tae grinned teasingly.

"That's why you brought him back" Time smirked, giving his friend a knowing look.

Kinn scoffed and glanced between his two friends.

"Who brought him back? Khun was mad so he gave Porsche and, surprisingly, Liam back to me" Kinn explained.

He expected his brother to give Porsche back to him.

But giving Liam back as well, that's something he hadn't expected?

Especially when Tankhun and Liam seem to be getting along really well, not to mention that Liam genuinely likes spending time with his older brother.

He's curious as to why Tankhun was even mad, but he'll worry about that later.

"He's a tool" Kinn rolled his eyes.

Time chuckled and leaned closer to Kinn.

"Well, you're a tool to him first. That's why he got back at you" Time told him.

He tore his eyes away from Kinn and looked over at his boyfriend.

"Just like what Tae did to me" Time grinned.

"Oh really?" Tae mockingly asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Kinn glanced between them and smiled slightly at their interaction before shaking his head.

"Oh, and speaking of Liam, where is he?" Tae asked.

"Yeah. Porsche is handsome, but Liam is hot" Time grinned knowingly.

Tae frowned and cleared his throat, trying his best to ignore what came out of his boyfriends mouth.

While Kinn, surprisingly, was trying not to glare at Time for what he said about Liam.

He doesn't know why he's feeling protective of Liam, almost as if he were his brother instead of Porsche's. 

It was almost as if Liam was someone that should be protected at all cost.

"He's running a little late. Porsche told me that he told him and the others to head out while he would catch up" Kinn explained.

He knew that Liam would know where to come since he gave the driver the directions to the place.

However, he's confused as to Liam's behavior today.

Ever since he announced to him and Porsche

"Strange" Tae hummed.

"Agreed. I never thought a bodyguard would arrive late for an important event like this. It's disrespectful, really" Time scoffed.

Kinn glared at him and smacked him upside the head, shocking him and Tae.

Kinn was shocked himself for doing that but he just couldn't sit back and let Time disrespect Liam that way.

Why he seems to care so deeply for Liam? He doesn't know.

"Just leave it alone. It doesn't matter, besides, he'll be here soon" Kinn cleared his throat.

Time rolled his eyes while Tae simply hummed and nodded his head.

Kinn sighed and took a sip of his drink. He had an auction to focus on and couldn't get distracted.

Hopefully Liam gets here soon. And hopefully, he's safe.

Liam's Pov

I thanked the driver for dropping me off and made my way inside.

I hope I wasn't too late. The last thing I want is for Porsche to be unguarded.

I need to be at his side the entire time. Hopefully, when this is all over, he'll be unharmed.

And for that to happen, I need to make sure he doesn't drink anything that waiter gives him.

If he ends up accepting the drink, I'll just have to snatch it out of his hands.

Or, if I'm feeling a little sadistic, I'll throw the glass at the waiter that put the drug in his drink.

That'll give me some satisfaction.

"Focus, Liam. Focus" I muttered under my breath, patting my cheeks.

Gotta stay focus. Gotta stay focus.

Luckily, I knew my way around thanks to the amount of times I watched this show.

I honestly wish Jack was here so I could rub it in his face how it was a good idea for me to watch those episodes over and over.

Finally, I made it to the area where the auction was being held.

The second I was inside I was on high alert. I kept my head high and scanned every single part of this place.

I straightened myself before heading downstairs, ignoring the people that were staring at me as I moved downwards.

I also sensed that Kinn, Time and Tae were also some of the few people staring at me but just elected on ignoring them.

Especially Time.

I swear to god he was staring at me with disgusting lust that it was extremely hard for me not to punch him.

Why Tae is with a disgusting prick like him? I honestly don't know.

Hopefully Tae and I have a moment alone so I can talk to him and convince him to leave Time. Remind him that he deserves better than that cheating scum.

One thing I can't stand is cheaters.

And Time is one of them given how many times he's cheated on Tae.

I shook myself out of my thoughts when I caught Kinn's eyes. 

He smiled faintly at me before nodding.

I returned the gesture and made my way to the bar.

The second I was by his side he grinned at me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to his side.

"Well, well, well, look at you. Handsome as always" Porsche smiled at me.

"Come on, hia. It's just a suit" I snorted slightly in amusement.

"I beg to differ. After all, you look handsome in this suit. You get the good looks from me, after all" Porsche grinned.

I rolled my eyes and playfully nudged him, causing him to laugh.

I let my eyes wander around the room before stopping at the man I was looking for.

Vegas.

The said man was sitting at his table, his arms spread out as a look of determination was plastered on his face.

His eyes met mine and he smiled a charming smile at me, eyeing me up and down.

I simply glared at him, catching him off guard, before rolling my eyes and turning away.

Don't get me wrong, I love Vegas and he's one of my favorite characters.

But at the moment, he's the enemy.

He drugged Porsche and attempted to take advantage of him. He's the reason Kinn and Porsche had sex without consent and the reason Porsche was punished.

I love him and I do care about him, but right now I simply see him as my enemy.

Hopefully, when I reach the end, or before that, I can get through to him and help him understand that he doesn't need his fathers approval.

That he's better off without his father.

I jumped when Porsche placed his hand on my cheek, gently turning my head so I was facing him.

"Nong, are you alright?" Porsche asked, frowning.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I asked, frowning myself.

"I've been calling your name for a few minutes but you never responded" he told me.

Oh.

Right.

I really gotta break that habit of mine. The last thing I need is more people getting worried, or worse, suspicious of me.

"Sorry, hia. I was just thinking" I told him.

"Are you sure?" Porsche asked.

"Positive" I nodded.

"Hm, alright. Well, go stand over on that side of the bar while I stay here" Porsche told me.

My eyes widened slightly at that and I fought to the urge to argue with him.

He's not going to want to switch given that he was here first and was positioned here.

The only reason I'm also here is because we're brothers and, no doubt, Kinn wants me to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't get drunk like last time.

"Fine. Just promise you won't drink" I sternly said.

He threw his head back and let out a mixture of a whine and a groan.

"Seriously? Not even one drink?" Porsche asked in annoyance.

"May I remind you what happened last time? Or shall I show you my bruise that has yet to heal?" I sarcastically asked.

The bruise on my cheek and on my hip still need time to heal.

Considering the damn assassin used a damn baton when we were fighting.

Porsche thought about it before letting out a defeated sigh, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Touche" he nodded.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled before turning around to walk over to the spot where he told me to go.

However, I stopped and turned back around.

I eyed the waiters, mainly the one that drugged the drink and gave it to Porsche, before turning back to my brother.

"Hia, please don't drink anything. Please" I sternly said.

He turned to me and furrowed his eyebrows together.

"We're working and the last thing I want is another repeat of last time. I don't want you or I getting hurt, or worse, punished because we're not taking this seriously. So, please, just promise me you won't drink" I downright begged.

I sound like a child begging for their parents to let me watch T.V a little longer.

But, I'm only looking out for Porsche's safety.

I don't want him getting drugged, taken to the hotel room by Vegas's men, taken advantage of or punished.

He didn't deserve any of that and I just can't let that happen. I refuse to let that happen.

I watched as concern washed over him before he nodded his head.

"Alright. I promise" Porsche agreed, his eyes soft as well as his tone.

"Thank you, hia" I softly said.

With that, I turned around and walked over to the spot he told me to stand at.

Sighing, I ran my hand through my hair and did my best to focus on Porsche instead of this stupid auction.

Everyone else is safe.

Porsche is the one in danger and I need to be alert at all times.

The second I see the waiter putting the drug into the drink and trying to hand it over to my brother, I'm taking action.

The bidding had started before I had arrived, they paused for a bit when I made my appearance known, and almost everyone was putting out their money just for the jewels.

I had to admit that some were beautiful while others were simply plain.

What's so important about these jewels anyway?

They're just jewelry like any other. I don't see why they're so special.

I bit my lip and took another glance over at Porsche, who looked bored out of his mind.

"Hello there"

I jumped when a hand was on my shoulder.

I turned around, ready to swing at whoever spoke, only to relax when I saw that it was Time.

He had a stupid grin on his face and I wanted to smack him. Especially when the lust look in his eyes were still there.

What the hell is he doing here? More importantly, when did he leave the table?

"Hello. Is there something you need?" I asked.

I shoved his hand off of me, not wanting his grubby dirty hands touching me.

"I simply came for a drink. I'm waiting for it as we speak" he told me.

"Could you please wait for it somewhere else? I'm busy" I rolled my eyes.

I watched as a frown appeared on his face as confusion and annoyance washed through his eyes.

He's not my boss. I don't work for him meaning there's no reason for me to be nice to him, let alone respectful.

Why is he even talking to me? Shouldn't he be focused on the auction like Kinn or whatever?

"Last I checked, it's not a crime to talk to other people" Time said.

"Last I checked, I'm working. And I don't like getting distracted when working" I reminded him.

I glanced over at the table his boyfriend and my boss were at, only to see them talking about something.

How the hell did neither of them notice Time got up and left?

And Kinn is supposed to be the mafia leader.

"Ah, yes. I'm aware. Kinn told Tae and I about what happened with the assassin. I must say, I'm impressed. Although, you could've done better" Time told me.

My eyes widened and I tore my eyes away from the table to look at him.

Did he seriously just insult me?

I know that I didn't just get insulted by this two faced motherfucker.

Oh, I swear to god I want to punch him so badly right now.

Unfortunately, I can't do that for reasons.

Fortunately, I am allowed to talk back and defend myself.

Especially when this jerk is nothing special. He's simply Kinn's friend, that's it.

"I doubt you would've done anything if you'd been there" I spoke.

I stepped closer to him and jabbed my finger into his chest, hard.

"And, for the record, you weren't there to witness what went down. So don't speak about my skills when you know nothing" I glared at him.

I'm not going to let this motherfucker get away with insulting me. Hell no.

I have done nothing but work hard ever since I got here and that includes keeping my brothers safe, keeping Kinn safe and keeping my friends safe.

This asshole isn't just going to insult me like that and think he can get away with it.

"Hm, you're hot and sassy. Exactly my type" Time smirked flirtatiously at me.

He eyed my body from top to bottom and he winked at me, making me internally gag.

Oh you've gotta be kidding me right now...

"Not interested" I rolled my eyes, turning away from him.

"Oh come on. Don't tell me I don't attract you. After all, I happen to be quite handsome and charming" he smirked.

I turned around and raised an eyebrow at him, eyeing him up and down.

I don't know who he's trying to fool, or who he has fooled, but he is nowhere near charming.

Handsome, sure. Charming, hell no.

"Is that what you believe? Oh, well, keep dreaming I guess" I scoffed.

"Oh don't act like you feel nothing for me. I see the way you look at me whenever I'm around. I don't blame you. I mean, look at me" Time gestured to himself.

Again, I eyed him up and down and rolled my eyes.

"You're delusional if you think I look at you in any way that isn't disgust and disappointment" I rolled my eyes.

Why can't he take the hint already and just leave?

His drink has long been ready and he's still here. I honestly want to smack him.

I honestly wasn't against going with that idea when he decided to put his fingers under my chin.

"Oh come on. I know you want me. I mean, your friend Tem did that night at Hum's bar" Time smirked.

Alright, that's fucking it.

This asshole is pissing me off and I'm sick of it.

"First, don't fucking touch me" I scowled at him, shoving his hand away from me.

His eyes widened as I grabbed a hold of the collar of his shirt.

"Second, you've got a boyfriend and I'm no homewrecker. I don't mess with taken men. Not to mention my standards are higher than whatever the hell you think you're offering" I rolled my eyes.

I pulled him closer to me so that we really were eye level with each other.

"Lastly, I've got my eyes on someone else. They're special and important. Something that you aren't. If I were to get with someone, it would be that person and that person alone. Nobody else. Trust me, he's alot better than you'll ever be" I angrily spat.

Before you ask, yes.

I do mean it. I meant every single word.

I've realized now that I really do like Tankhun. I've grown a crush on him and my feelings just grew more.

I'm not going to deny it. Not anymore.

Without removing my eyes from Time, or letting him go, I grabbed his drink that had been ready minutes ago.

"Now, take your drink and go back to Mr. Kinn and Tae. And if you ever come near me again, I promise you that I will not hesitate to rip your balls off" I smiled tightly.

With that, I released my hold on him and took a step back.

He tried glaring at me but I simply held out his drink for him, raising an eyebrow at him.

If he thinks he's scary, he's gotta get his eyes check.

I watched as his nostrils flared, clearly irritated, and anger washed through his eyes.

I felt satisfied when he finally grabbed his drink and stormed off, heading back to the table.

When he was gone I let out a scoff and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Remind me to take a shower when this auction is done" I muttered.

I need to get his touch off my body. I don't want his cheating filth on me.

Not only that, but remind me to hit Tem for getting involved with Time.

Maybe I can ask Porsche to...

Wait..

Holy shit! Porsche!

My eyes widened and I quickly turned around, only for my entire face to turn pale when I saw that he was gone.

I looked at the counter of the bar and my eyes widened more when I saw the glass, the one that had water that the waiter drugged, was empty.

Shit! Porsche drank the water!

He must've drank it when I was busy trying to get Time away from me.

"Fuck!" I muttered fearfully.

I looked around and saw that everyone was busy with the auction still.

I felt a slight sense of relief when I saw that Vegas was still here.

If he's still here then that means Porsche could still be in the bathroom.

Meaning I have to get there before Vegas's men or Vegas himself gets him.

I rushed out of the room as fast as I could. Luckily, I didn't attract any attention to myself since everyone was still busy with the bidding.

I ran down the hallway as fast as I could and began searching for the mens bathroom.

Finally, I found it and practically shoved the door open and rushed inside as I began searching the place.

"Porsche! Porsche! Hia, are you here?!" I frantically yelled out to him.

I quickly scanned the place and when I looked down at the ground, I felt my entire body freeze in fear.

Porsche's jacket was on the ground.

"Fuck!" I yelled, slamming my fists onto the wall.

The men got here before I did, meaning that Porsche is in the room and Vegas is most definitely on his way.

I rushed out of the bathroom and glanced down the hallway, biting my lip.

There's no way I'm waiting for Kinn and the others to realize that Porsche is gone, that'll be wasting time.

"Think, Liam. Think" I muttered angrily to myself.

What room is Porsche at? What floor and what room?

Gah! I watched this damn series so many times yet I can't remember the small details!

"The floor...the floor..." I muttered to myself.

Finally, realization coursed through me and I remembered the room Porsche was taken to.

"30th, the 30th floor" I muttered.

I didn't waste a second and dashed down the hallway to make my way to the elevator.

I practically punched the button and waited impatiently as the doors to the elevator closed and went up.

"Hurry up, hurry up" I muttered.

I would've taken the stairs but that would've wasted a bit more time given the floor we were at.

Finally, the elevator stopped and I rushed outside as soon as they opened and ran down the hallway.

However, I stopped and hid behind the wall when I saw Vegas's men guarding the door.

Shit, does that mean Vegas is already there?

I bit my lip, trying to come up with a plan to get them away from the door and knock them out.

My eyes wandered down to my necklace and an idea formed into my head.

"Forgive me, Jack. It's only for the plan" I muttered to myself.

I brought my hands up to my neck and hesitantly took my necklace off. Taking a few deep breaths, I threw it and watched as it hit the ground and made a bit of noise.

The two men turned around and walked away from the door the second they heard the noise.

I watched as one of them crouched down and grabbed onto my necklace, narrowing their eyes at it.

Now that was my cue.

I ran after them and grabbed onto the one that was still standing and turned him around.

I shoved my fist into his face and watched as he let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.

"Hey!" the second man yelled.

I spun around and shoved my fist into his face, watching as he let out a cry of pain and stumbled into the wall as my necklace fell out of his hands.

I spun him around and grabbed him by his shirt and shoved him harshly into the wall.

I pounded him into the wall a few times before turning him around and shoving him to the ground.

The man I had punched first got up and tried swinging at me but I ducked and kicked his legs from underneath.

I watched in satisfaction as he dropped to the ground, onto his back, and groaned in pain.

"This is for kidnapping my brother!" I growled, glaring at them.

I shoved their bodies together, watching in satisfaction as their heads collided harshly with each others before they dropped to the ground.

I let out a breath of relief before grabbing my necklace and quickly put it back on.

I ran to the room and tried opening the door, only to sigh in annoyance when I realized that it was locked.

"Hey! Open the damn door! Don't touch my brother!" I yelled.

I pounded onto the door as hard as I could, trying to get it to open but it wouldn't budge.

Letting out a frustrated groan, I took a step back and used all my strength to kick the door open.

I laughed in delight when it opened, creating a loud thud, and rushed inside.

Looking around the room, I expected to find Vegas trying to make his escape, but he was already gone.

He must've gotten scared and alerted due to his men yelling from outside and me pounding on the door.

I quickly shook that away and turned towards the bed.

The feeling of relief washed through me when I saw Porsche on the bed, the bag still over his head and his hands still tied.

"Porsche!" I yelled.

I rushed over there and practically jumped onto the bed and began scanning my brother for any injuries or possible hickeys.

I furrowed my eyebrows together when I found none. He was completely hickeyless.

Originally, Vegas took the bag off his head and managed to bite on his neck because he wanted to leave a stamp on him for Kinn to see.

Wait...does that mean I got here in time?

I sure hope so. I could never forgive myself for getting here and Vegas still marked him.

I shook that away and carefully removed the bag from his head and tossed it aside.

Porsche panicked when the bag was removed and tried moving around, letting out whines and whimpers.

"Hia, hia, it's me. It's Liam. Don't worry, you're safe" I reassured him.

His eyebrows furrowed together and a small pout appeared on his face.

But, nevertheless, he calmed down when he heard my voice.

I smiled softly at that. Even when he's drugged he still knows it's me and not someone random person.

I untied his hands and tossed the ropes aside. I grabbed onto his hand and gently pulled him up, that way he was sitting, and gathered him into my arms.

"Thank god you're alright" I whispered.

I kissed his head and held onto him tightly, refusing to let him go.

I heard footsteps and was prepared to get up, shield Porsche's body with my own, only to calm down when the others rushed inside.

Well, it's about time they got here.

"Liam?" Kinn asked, his eyes widening in surprise.

"No. It's Beyonce" I sarcastically muttered.

Pravat must've heard me because he let out a quiet snort.

"How did you get here before us? How did you know Porsche was missing before us?" Big asked.

"He wasn't at the bar when I tried looking for him and I got worried. I went searching for him in case he was in trouble" I explained.

"And you knew where to find him?" Arm asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

I pressed my lips together and decided to just ignore his question for now.

"Look, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that my brother is safe and sound" I told him and the others.

"Agreed" Pete nodded, his eyes wandering over to Porsche.

Kinn pressed his lips together and nodded and walked over to the bed.

I tightened my hold around my brother, eyeing Kinn, watching as Kinn stopped and raised an eyebrow at me.

He stared at me for a few seconds before turning to the others.

He gestured for them to search the place and they did just that. Even though nobody else was here.

"Is he alright?" Kinn asked, his eye going over to Porsche.

"He was drugged, I believe. He hasn't said a proper sentence or word" I explained.

Kinn frowned at that as the others rushed back into the room.

"There's nothing on the balcony, Mr. Kinn" Pete told him.

"The entire room is empty. Nobody else is here" Pravat said.

I furrowed my eyebrows together, didn't they see the men I knocked out outside?

Or had I knocked them a little gently and they were still conscious and managed to leave?

Kinn let out a frustrated sigh before turning towards Big and Ken.

"Check all cameras. I must have all of them tonight" Kinn sternly said.

"Yes, sir" Big and Ken said in unison.

Pete, Pravat and Arm tried getting closer but I pulled Porsche closer to my chest.

"Hia, can you stand?" I softly asked.

Porsche didn't say anything, he simply let out a whine before shoving his face into my chest.

I frowned and gently wiped some of his hair away from his face.

Kinn stepped closer, causing me to look at him as I continued holding onto my brother.

"Liam, you go with the others. I'll take care of Porsche" Kinn ordered.

My eyes widened at that and I stared at him in shock.

Is he serious right now?

Does he not realize that Porsche is my brother? Does he not realize that the one to take care of him is me?

"No. Mr. Kinn, you go with the others and I'll stay here with my brother" I tightly told him.

"Excuse me?" Kinn asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

"You heard me. Go with the others while I take my brother to another hotel room and take care of him" I told him.

By now everyone had stayed still, staring at us with worried eyes.

Well, those worried eyes were mainly aimed at me.

"Didn't you hear me before?" Kinn sternly asked.

"I did, but I have decided to ignore you because what you're ordering is something I don't plan on following" I sternly said.

Kinn glared at me and gritted his teeth, anger shown in his eyes.

I heard the others breath hitching but I paid them zero attention, my attention was all on Kinn.

"Liam, I'm not going to ask you this again. Go with the others and let me take care of Porsche" he demanded.

Is it worth getting punished if I punch him in the face?

I almost did that when he tried reaching out for Porsche.

I didn't punch him, sadly, but I grabbed his arm in a tight grip and shoved him away.

I watched him stumble slightly before gaining his balance. His eyes met mine and I saw more anger washing through them.

"And I'm not going to tell you to step back again" I sternly said.

I hesitantly released my hold on Porsche and laid him down gently on his back.

I stood up from the bed and stood protectively in front of Porsche, making sure Kinn didn't get anywhere near him.

Arm and Pete hesitantly made their way to Porsche to check on him.

Big and Ken stood together while Pravat stood at the other side of the room.

Kinn tried moving past me but I grabbed onto his arm and pulled him back, shoving him away.

"Didn't I just tell you to back off?!" I glared at him.

I swear to god this stubborn shit doesn't know when to listen.

I was certain that the others were now staring at the scene in front of them in complete concern, given how I was acting towards Kinn.

But I honestly didn't give a shit.

"Last I checked I'm your boss, meaning you have to obey me as well as my orders!" Kinn yelled.

"I don't give a shit if you are my boss, the last time I checked Porsche is my brother! He's been drugged and kidnapped and if I hadn't got here when I did he could've been taken advantage of. He's not in the right state of mind at the moment and no doubt he's confused and scared. He needs to be around someone he knows and that means me because I'm his fucking family member!" I angrily yelled.

If this dumbass thinks for a second I'm going to let him near Porsche, he's got another thing coming.

I refuse to let him near him and take advantage of him.

"Just give me Porsche! Let me take care of him!" Kinn yelled.

He, once again, tried reaching for him but I stopped him.

Except, this time I took a drastic measure in stopping him.

I pulled out my gun and aimed it at him, watching as his face turned even more pale and took a step back.

Gasps filled the room and the others were now staring at me in surprise and fear.

Big and Ken reached for their guns but Kinn glared at them, signalling them to not take any action.

"I warned you to step away from my brother but you refuse to listen. I'm going to ask you again to step away from him. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to put a bullet through your head and send your corpse to your father" I threatened him.

I glanced over at Porsche, who was being checked over by Pete, before looking back at Kinn.

"I don't care if you are my boss. Porsche is my brother which means he's more important than you and everyone else in this room. My brother needs me and you're an idiot if you think I'm going to easily hand him over to you. The one that needs to take care of him is me because after what happened tonight, he needs his brother. Not his boss. So, either you step away, or you can get ready to say hello to your mother" I angrily spat.

Silence.

Absolute silence filled the room.

Everyone was staring at me with wide eyes, their jaws were open and touching the ground.

Considering I'm aiming a gun at Kinn, my boss, threatened him and I brought his mother into the mix.

Honestly...mentioning his mother was a low blow, but I'm currently filled with anger, frustration and anxiety that I can't think properly.

And whatever comes out of my mouth just does and I can't help myself.

I do hope that Mrs. Theerapanyakun forgives me for threatening her son and bringing her into this.

"Fine" Kinn finally agreed.

He was angry. Given his teeth were gritted and his fist was clenched at his side.

But, did I care?

No. No, I didn't.

After giving me his answer I simply nodded and tucked my gun back where it was.

I sighed before turning back to my brother.

I nodded at Arm and Pete and they took that as their signal to back away, to which they obeyed.

I placed my arms under Porsche's body and picked him up. I carried him bridal style and watched as he tucked his face into my neck, whining and groaning.

"Come on, hia. Lets get you out of here" I whispered softly.

With that, I walked out of the room with my brother in my arms.

I ignored the looks I was getting from almost everyone and continued walking, wanting to get Porsche to another hotel room.

I wasn't going to keep him in that room after what almost happened.

But, saving Porsche from Vegas and Kinn is officially checked off the list.
