Emotions when hidden give most pain whether it is consensual or non consensual...

As promised next update... I am engrossed so i would make an update at the earliest for few days as the story is going to get intense i don't wish to break the interest...

--_-----------++----+-----------------------------------

A high rise tower in heart of the town held an exclusive office. Entering you can see people working while laying on couches or swing with their laptops resting in their laps or stomachs. Everyone is seriously engrossed in work but also relaxing at same time. Some were playing while closing deals with clients. A girl sat on swing watching k-drama while handling grievance call and throwing tissues in a garbage bin beside.

The path lead ahead to a room where some presentation was going on door read "bored head to board room". A man whose back can be seen is sitting on a oval swing near glass while his tall swivel chair laid idol. He was watching at the town which looked so small from across the glass of only high rise building. He can see complete town from there. Another person sat on a chair next to the empty one who was intently engrossed holding an ipad checking the graphs and figures.

Their team exclusively dressed in business attire sat across the long round table discussing the quarterly profits. A boy was standing near projector explaining presentation of all the profits booked for the year. Each of the employee held their laptops marking the important points. Also, discussing further prospects and explaining the financial team of the investment they are looking ahead so in next two years they would be listed on trending market. They were all highly educated team managers of different departments.

The man in suit stood up from the swing making all the head turn towards him he held a professional smile while his eyes were empty. He spoke gaining everyone's attention...

Bravo team i am happy on our annual profits everyone has worked hard for this. As per agreement yearly bonus added with profits would be credited in your accounts with salary.

Also, you all get a full paid vacation. Place of accommodation and everything would be shortly discussed by the concerned team.

Once back from holidays be ready to rack your brains and working on the new ideas that i would be discussing in next meet up. I am planning on expansion and we are on talks in Bangkok. Some of you might go their as heads so gear up for trainings and other programs.

With that he turned to the man sitting next to him he bent and spoke in his ear softly...

"Book couple car in black latest model from my booked profit for the year would be paid from personal account" his eyes held a longing a different pain while his lip held a bitter smile.

"You should concentrate on figures and booking more profits then splurging".

"I have you for that work" he said as a matter of fact shrugging his shoulder.

He straightened pulling his coat to perfection he looked at boys and girls who were busy chit chatting. As he stood straight the place went silent everyone raised from the chair. He signed for everyone to sit.

Thank you team see you all later.

With that he turned to exit as he was about to open the door boy who was giving presentation held the knob and opened the door immediately and came behind him holding files.

Sir we have a meeting scheduled with fin corp for their branding on our site today at 4:00..

Jerry, Can i have my break?

Jerry: Sorry sir just that schedule is jam packed for the day.

I understand but need time teacher earth has made my life hell at school. I have school assignment to be completed.

Jerry: Do you want me to ask someone to complete the assignment?

Hmm, have you ever seen me pushing my work.

Jerry got his answer he bowed his head and mouthed a gentle "sorry"

That's fine just tell clara to come to my cabin after finishing the briefing session with new interns.

They reached the cabin jerry held the knob to open the wooden door on which the golden board read in black calligraphic engraving Gulf Kanawut MD. He allowed the person to enter as he stood holding the door.

Jerry: Okay sir i shall take your leave then..

Saying he closed the door.

The man in suit sat on his long lounge chair looking at something at distant. His complete cabin speaks of elegance and exclusive taste. There are loads of beautiful frames that hang in artistic way. This place is his safe zone his piece of heaven. His neck holds a beautiful chain in which a heart pendant is worn hidden from everyone.

He is none other then Gulf Kanawut Asia's youngest entrepreneur. At just 15 soon to be 16 years he was leading one of the most profitable online portal which sold local merchandise. His company's online portal site MG was earning in crores with every quarter. It is listed in best companies. He was a name which every businessman would take with respect.

At such young age when kids go to school he had developed apps and patented while worked on his online store making it big in market. All his employees are selected on basis of their work efficiency and their niche. He doesn't consider people only with their qualifications. It's a task to get into MG but once their life's prospects are too high from professional POV.

He attends regular school in the morning while joins work by afternoon till late night he would be at office working his ass out. He was a Workaholics that's what gave him little peace. Though he was lineant with his employees but when work is not done according to deadline he won't back out from lashing out.

The another person who sat on the chair next to his raised his head and looked at gulf's retreating back. While he dispersed his team... Walked behind gulf reaching his cabin when he saw jerry leaving. He entered without knocking as an habit.

Maxwell nattapol gulf's friend, secret keeper guide and angel investor(first investor) in his business. There is nothing that he doesn't know about the company. His decision has equal weight as that of gulf. No one has seen them smile out of love they are cold and just smirk at the win. Whole office knows about their friendship and max being the over considerate. He would Keep complete staff on edge if Gulf is stressed by over work. They wear business smile just to keep it professional.

They are team players and give their team complete freedom only condition the work should be complete. The office has lounge, bar, smoke area, play area with latest gadgets, ps4, virtual games and best cafeteria which is equal to any 5 star restaurant. Team mates can work from anywhere in there modern well furnished full wifi enabled workplace.

They also host team parties every month the brands which work on their platform are happy with their transparent policies. In business you can't make everyone happy so they have competitors who look at gulf as threat. In general their employees and investors all are happy but competitors are not.

Max entered and banged the file on the table earning mischievous glare from gulf.

Max: Last year you bought bike now you want to buy car. The things you would never use why you want to invest. Can i ask what is the need as you already have a car the one with driver?

Gulf: Why am i earning phi? You know why i bought the bike. The car i drive is gift from your dad at our last years success. I want to buy one from my own money.

He stood with his hands in pocket then spoke calmly.

Max: Dad wants us to disclose the relationship. 

Gulf: (sighing): We both know the truth.

Max: Kitten, can we speak the truth for once.

Gulf: Truth never changed phi. Go ahead and discuss but answer would be the same.

Max: It's been 2 years at least talk kitten.

Gulf: Even if it's hundred years answer would not change. I know what's in your heart perfectly also for the person it is. I will talk to uncle about it.

Max: Kitten, it's not that easy...

In the meantime there was knock on the door. Max straightened and asked the person to come in. A beautiful girl entered the cabin giving infections smile. She wore formal business suit with shoes and minimal accessories.

"Good morning boss" said Clara.

she is COO (chief operating officer) an immediate lead after max and gulf. She was simple and gave vibes of nerd.. Hailing from rich family she has studied abroad completing her MBA and joined the company as intern. She fell in love with gulf for her it was love at first sight. As she finished her internship due to her credibility and work efficiency she was given offer from the company and she decided to continue to work with him. Though she is not clear about Gulf's feeling she loves him a lot.

"Good morning cla" gulf said as he stood up from the chair she immediately hugged him.

Max rolled his eyes at her display of affection. Studying abroad she is accustomed to being friendly though gulf felt uncomfortable earlier but with time he got adjusted. When first time she hugged gulf he was in dilemma but then she explained everyone back in London wished likewise so she is habituated. So, now he is okay as for him the hug doesn't mean anything more then a wish.

She is a well wisher and brilliant person. She has trained gulf in business management and is biggest reason that they have been safe of dirty politics of their competitors.

She knows both her bosses. While Gulf is little flexible max is the bit composed. He doesn't like hugging or being near to girls.

Good afternoon max sir...

She said looking at max's sullen face.

Max: What's so good about this afternoon?

He was pissed with gulf's attitude of hiding his pain. He wanted a closure to his dad's building up hopes.

Cla: Max sir, Mr prosecutor is waiting for you in the cabin for past 1 hour.

Gulf: Phi max

He purposely said as if he wanted to speak knowing that max would be in hurry.

Max: It's not over we will talk later.

Max stood up immediately startling cla. While gulf smirked looking at max's retreating back.

Max: Why did you take so much time to inform?

He said walking out of the room.

Cla: Actually you were busy in board meeting... Max had left before hearing her...

Gulf sighed : Thanks cla for saving me.

Cla: That's fine sir.

Gulf would always message cla "save me" in case he fell in any such situation with max. Where he didn't want to answer.

She handed him an invite which made him smile. Clara was confused looking as he had a genuine smile for the first time in last 1 and half year that she joined the company.

Gulf: Send them an acceptance mail. I would surely go.

Clara: This is not something important you have rejected most prestigious award function invite this year. This are you sure you want to join she asked still being unsure about what gulf was thinking.

Gulf: This is very important keep it on high priority. Cancel all my meetings for a week i am going for this event..

Clara: Huh, this event is only for a day.

Gulf: Please do as I said inform jerry to book my tickets for bangkok. I am taking a break it's time to face life.

She came out of his cabin dazed and informed jerry about Gulf's travel plan. He also looked confused but didn't say anything. He pulled his hairs looking at jam pack schedule which his MD wanted to cancel or push just to attend some stupid college fest.

Clara sat in her cabin eating or say gobbling popcorn she was very confused as she never saw gulf so determined to go for any such event. Rather he hardly attended any event for him what mattered was his profits and work. She joined when company was at its initial stage just 6 months and they were working day and night their ass out for a year. From a cubicle to a well designed office she has seen this journey walking along with gulf.

It's in this phase that she fell in love with gulf. Though he never even allowed her near. His maximum time would be with max or on his own. There were three more people who mattered to him a'pete and bright who visit him and own the right to enter his cabin without knock. There is a third person in his life whom no one has seen personally except in photos but everyone knows he holds important place in gulf's life.

She liked to make lunch for him or make him coffee. She wished someday he would allow her to feed him but he never even looked at her other then work. People died to get her one smile but gulf was different. She had day in and out people flirting and asking her for dates. Cla, was a party animal and would be found always hanging out.

Gulf, hardly joined office annual party that to he would be aloof or with some business client discussing business. He never joined on team outing or lunch on account of having school, project assignment etc. He was younger then everyone who worked for him but he was respectful and humble.

She was known to his habits, diet, medicine but not exact clinical condition. He didn't rely on anyone and his polite refusal when she tried to do anything hurt her. Her hopes to hold his hand someday never allowed her to step back. She considers him as part of her family.

Being the COO and legal decision maker after gulf and max she also had opportunity to travel with him but never did he talk to her on personal front. She wanted to know him but didn't want to invade his personal space. She was the only one other then max, who had met gulf's guardians Mel and Ruth.

She kept in contact with Mel because she always encouraged her towards gulf. Mel was very supportive towards her approach but cautioned her not to hurt gulf in anyway.

He was younger to her but she couldn't control her affection for him. She was waiting to express her love to him. A chance that's all she wanted to walk into his heart. She also had a question who is the closest to Gulf's heart?

--------;-----------;--------;---------;---------;------;--------;----------;--------;-------;--------;-------;-------;-

Gulf was checking his mails when he got message on his phone...

"Emotion of love hurts what if someone snatches the thing you love the most."

Gulf's eye's widened he immediately speed dialled pete and max. Now, they were sitting at max's mansion while he showed them the message. A lavish room covered with greenary around. Water dripped on the glass that separated the hall from the garden and pool.

As gulf sat down being tired he threw his head back on the head rest of sofa. He had just finished back to back client meeting before coming here was dead tired but someone made him forget his tiredness.

Mango came in barking as soon as he saw gulf. He leapt on him hugging him then licking his face. While gulf scratched his neck with love. While mango was enjoying all the attention meg max's favourite siberian husky came in barking gaining gulf's attention. Gulf hugged both on each side while they licked his face and loved him.

Max: You filial dogs you don't even see daddy when mom is around.

Pete laughed at that comment. Hearing max's voice meg went towards him leaping on his lap.

Gulf (Smirking): Mango and Meg, knows who the daddy is...

Mango was tall with smooth coat. His barks could make people pee in there pants. His claws could tear away skin of the people. He was gentle with his parents specially max and gulf they loved him a lot. Gulf allowed mango to sit near his legs while he caressed his coat. Continuing their talks on the stalker.

Meg had blue eyes with black and white furry coat she had massive built. She was guard dog and trained for moutains. People would fear with her one look. Mango and Meg both were of same age and  loved each others company. Both named by gulf using his favourite combination.

Servant came and took meg and mango to play allowing the men to rest. Maids laid table with food and drinks for them.

Max: Kitten, eat something you didn't even have your lunch in the afternoon.

Pete: Yeah, look how skinny and pale you have become.

Gulf: It's because i have transfusion in next two days.

Max: Still you need to take care your complete diet is in toss. Look at pete how chubby he has turned his boyfie is probably feeding him every 🌃.

Max teased gulf laughed listening to max while earning glare from pete. It's not called chubby have been working out lately mr maxie. Also at least i know where i sleep unlike  you.

Gulf remembered when max got drunk in a party and mr. prosecutor took him home. Early morning as habit max was shouting out for the servants for painkiller and lemon juice. Letting mr prosecutors complete household know that there was an invader in their house in their son's room embarassing poor mr prosecutor. Unaware of his own surrounding he then blamed mr prosecutor of taking chance on him due to his drunken state. Gulf was still laughing when max cleared throat gaining attention if the boys.

Gulf: Sorry just got lost.

Pete: I know where you were lost.

Max: Shall we get back if you both have finished teasing me. I don't have anything to do with mr prosecutor.

Both the boys raised eyebrows. Then gulf took out his phone showing them the message.

Max: This bastard for past 1 year has been playing this message game. I just feel he is playing doesn't mean any harm at all.

Gulf: Don't forget he tried to harm you and pete earlier but his hints gave me an idea i could save both your asses in time. (In mind) Thanks to my power...

Pete: Whom does this intend now?

Gulf: The person whom i have kept away from all the mess.

Max(eyes widened): How can you be so sure?

Gulf swiped his phone to show another message which he received few days back.

"A bond that built in childhood is stronger but ties break unexpectedly"

Max: Is that the reason you accepted the invite finally?

Gulf: Hmm

Max: That person can even be me because i am also there with you from childhood.

Gulf: hmmm, no it clearly indicates him. Yes, therefore decided to go for the event. i just can't let him in the mess when he doesn't know anything.

Pete: Gulfie, you don't have to go personally we can hire guards and put up an investigator.

Max: Also, we can talk to dad and safeguard him through police. He has lot of contacts and won't say no to you. In this way we also don't have to disclose

He was cut in between

Gulf: If he has known about the person he is hinting then it won't be something very small. This threat holds more weightage then any of his earlier ones. I can't take risk if that person is hurt i would regret forever. Put guards behind everyone of my family also friends. Especially that jackass prince of vicharwat he is become lovesick puppy now a days..

Keep close tab on mae and por keep me informed if there is any moment around them. Also, safety around phi thanya and her cafe keep her bf in loop.

Max: I remembered from thanya few days back there was some fight at her cafe. Those boys threatened her nothing to worry i have taken care of everything.

Gulf sighed: Her temper someday will land her in trouble.

Pete: I tried from sources in dark world but couldn't even find a single clue about the stalker.

Max: Should i tell dad about it?

Gulf: Keep Mr nattapol out of it. We are not been able to get a single link which could lead us to him. Except this message which also comes from dark web numbers we don't have proofs that we can hold against him. He is playing smart i don't want to drag people into this mess. He has been trying to break me emotionally which he has been unsuccessful may be he is pissed by now. This time i fear it would be something very serious.

Max: He has tried enough in a year to surface your panics or weaknesses.

Pete: This also can be a trap to let you towards the person you love the most. So, he knows.

Max: I think pete is right. It's been two years why would someone even think him to be so precious to you.

Gulf: Something's are very precious which can never be changed. Don't worry i won't give away any relation in public. I am going there as guest of honour. I will keep my distance just want to ensure his safety.

Max: I still think you should not go. Ensuring safety can be done from here also.

Gulf: Phi i know you both are concerned about me and also J of the person, but i won't be at ease if I don't act. It's all messed up and i can never sort.

Max: Kitten, just talk once i know things would be sorted. If you are ready to do that then i don't have any problem in you going there. You both have been hurt enough.

Gulf: I have given my words not to interfere.

Pete: How would you know when that person would attack?

Gulf: Usually his threats are close to his acts. (In mind) need to connect with phi to have vision...

Looking at Gulf's drooping face both pete and max looked at each other deciding not to stop him further. Gulf got a picture on his phone he just closed the eyes and took in a sharp breath max and pete looked towards him then came near him and looking at the phone they both spoke in unison.

Max: Finally in love haan...

Pete: Bastard..

Gulf: Mind your language phi... May be i have pushed him too far.

-------;-----;------;-----;------;-----;-----;-----;----;---

Gulf was in Bangkok's most popular University. Mew and love's pictures clicked in the campus which went viral were the once sent on his phone earlier. It kept making round in his mind. Gulf knew about love vicharwat through her brother but mostly because Mel wanted love as her daughter in law. Vicharwat were financing Suppasit hospital expansion plan. Therefore both the families were on good terms. Hence alliance between the family could get their son power and financial stability. She had made Gulf promise to help this relationship. He was talking to love which was not known by anyone. If max or pete knew about it they would creat havoc. He had even kept it from bright unsure what would be his reaction. The reason love could be his carbon copy is because gulf helped her in all way to be perfect for mew.

He saw how mew held love in his arms when he entered the university that's what he least wanted to see. His heart was shattered into million pieces therefore he left the place. His heartbeat was racing just looking at the back of the person he loved. 2 years of pain that he had buried erupted at once. Mew's painful voice that echoed in his phone was now echoing in his ears. His pleads to just hear his Honey's voice all ran through his mind. He was trying hard not to fall weak. As the lift opened on the floor the guards took their position while vice chancellor led him the way to his room.

VC: Sir, you get freshen up and join us in the stadium. We have a final annual football match today. I would ask the head boy to come and lead you to the stadium. Also, we have a week long planned events i would like you to attend all if you can.

Students are also going on an excursion before the final event after which they have exams and campus interview for further college admission as per their choices.

Gulf: You can call me Gulf i am younger to you. I would love to attend all but it would depend on my work. Also, going on excursion would be a bit difficult but if i decide to go i will let you know. Allow me few moments i would be their on the ground.

VC: Would you mind giving an opening speech.

Gulf: I have not prepared any but if you insist in would surely encourage fellow friends.

VC: Thank you,..

As vice chancellor took his leave he asked everyone to depart as he wanted to be alone for sometime.

Mew reached the 6th floor of the building which was international delegates wing. It was linked with student condo on otherside. It was exclusively for the guests and important delegates who visited the college around the year. He peeped from the exit door everyone was leaving as they left he saw Gulf was about to open the room door.

He wished to rush and engulf his honey in a hug. They were just 10 steps apart but he didn't knew whether he had that right now. After 2 years he was seeing gulf infront of him. He had seen gulf in these 2 years but never so close. He would avoid mew whenever they met on any occasion. He was dying to hear his voice just to touch him his hands craved.

He walked in direction of Gulf with slow steps gulf opened the door keys  fell from his hands. He bent to pick it while he observed someone standing. Taking glance from sports shoes to beautiful legs his eyes travelled over shorts to jersey. His eyes landed on the bracelet in hands of the person building up bile in his throat. His heartbeats thumped against his ribcage. His eyes scrolled up to the well toned chest that bobed up and down due to heavy breathing. Landing eyes on adams apple he reached the face he had craved to see for past 2 years. He at once stood up when their eyes met looking straight ahead towards the room avoiding eye contact.

Mew had almost made a move and was about to lift his hand to touch gulf's shoulder. In the meantime clara who was hiding in the room came out running and hugged Gulf turning him around now his face was towards mew while cla was hanging on his neck. Mews hand instantly fell to his side limp gulf observed it.

She was between him and mew. He was surprised with sudden hug but he forgot the reaction or to push her away. His breath stopped when he saw mew standing in front breathing heavily and sweating hard.

Cla was still hanging on gulf while he saw the moisture that arouse in mew's eyes. They both were stunned to react.

2 year's had surely changed a lot of thing. His shy and reserved honey was no longer the scared little boy.  He was turned into a handsome man with sharp features and amazing physique. His looks spoke volumes about his classy taste and it was lingering fragrance of money from his entire attire.. But may be now he doesn't hold the same emotions. Honey no longer needed his phi bear he had outgrown his arms.

Mew just passed both turning from the corner going towards his students dorms that were on otherside. Gulf forgot to react or to breath knowing mew would be hurt. He separated cla and looked at her in anger.

Gulf: What are you doing here? His tone was harsh but cla didn't sense it.

Cla: Actually i came to surprise you didn't mean to hug you but there was a lizard which got me scared and out of fear i just hugged you.

She said being shy her eyes were on gulf's shoe...

Gulf was suspicious

Gulf: Who allowed you here?

She was still blushing with that closeness to gulf unable to hide her cheeks and ears that had turned red.

Clara: Actually we have a meeting here tommorrow so i was asked to be here with details.

Clara said looking down all shy trying to catch her breath. She could still smell his fragrance lingering around her.

While gulf was filled with anger he didn't wanted to strike conversation with mew but he never intended to hurt him that's the least he could have done.

He went inside the room and banged the door on cla's face. She didn't understand anything but just thought he would be tired and left towards her room which was next to his.

Gulf pulled his hairs behind in anger and immediately fished phone from his pocket he called max..

Max: (excitedly): Hey, kitten how was the surprise?

Gulf: Surprise my ass phi. What is cla doing here?

He sounded angry..

Max: Actually we have a meeting with client in bangkok tommorrow. As it's just a matter of half day so, i thought you could attend. Therefore i sent cla with details also she would keep you company.

Gulf(gritting his teeth): Why i was not informed about scheduling the meeting?

Max: Actually, you said you are just going to attend event that is tommorrow evening. So, I thought you can spare an hour for meeting after that you can enjoy as much as you want.

Gulf: Stop hitting around the bushes and come to the point phi. why cla you could have sent jerry?

Max: Okay then listen, as it is you are not going to talk to him so how can i leave you alone.   You have a transfusion tommorrow after the meeting just wanted someone to be around.

Gulf: Stop being over considerate phi. I am sending cla back.

Max: Send her back then i am flying tommorrow to bangkok.

Gulf hanged up the call : Arrrrgggghhhh... He threw his phone which landed on the bed.

This is utterly disgusting..

Mew came towards the dorms corridors were silent as students have moved towards the ground catching seat for cheering their favorites. He was trying his best to hold back his tear wanted to deny honey was in a girls arm. Moreover that girl came out from Gulf's room that meant they were staying together. May be she is his girlfriend.  He was no longer the person he knew his honey is changed man.

Lhong was shouldering alex as they were out of the room and about to turn towards the lift They saw mew walking like a dead. As they approached him he hugged them but his legs gave away and he slipped on the ground they both were confused looking at mew. Lhong sat with him on ground while alex stood looking at both. As his legs were in plaster he couldn't sir down. Last mew cried was 2  years back when Gulf decided not to talk to him. When he kept trying max asked him to stop that's when he finally cried and decided he would allow gulf his space and wait for him. They knew the pain he was going through. He hardly smiled or slept in past two years frequently visiting doctors due to insomania and bad health. He went insane without gulf until love made an appearance and helped him. She was also not much of help because what mew wanted was his honey.

Lhong: What's the matter mew?

Alex: Buddy, you can talk to us.

A group of  boys were coming towards them alex alerted mew.

Alex: Mew, team guys are coming.

Mew wiped his eyes just to ensure there was no moisture and sobered up a bit.

Hey mew come to the locker room coach has summoned everyone hurry up.

Alex, how is your injury?

Alex: I am under rehab would take another month. They tackled very bad last time seemed they did it purposely.

Hmmm, don't know who will be the prey this time. Lhong you are in extras right...

Lhong: Yes, i will join with you guys. Alex, i would walk you to the venue first then would go to locker room.

Mew got up took bottle from alex and splashed water on his face. He walked towards the boys striding towards the locker room. Lhong looked at alex they both sighed and walked towards the arena.
