MAAGANG umalis nang trabaho si Kamden kasama si Rdj, he is now watching Kamden because Mr.Kang asked him to. He can't say not to Pietros lalo't malaki ang utang na loob nito roon. He had no choice but to drop Kamden home.

Katulad nang kanina naka-angkas si Kamden sa motor Rdj dahil narin  nasa car shope pa hanggang sa ngayon ang sasakyan niya, makalipas anh ilang minuto nakarating rin sila sa kanilang destinasyon, kaagad namang ipinarada ni Rdj ang ducati sa tapat ng bahay ni Kamden. 

Umalis si Kamden sa pagkakaangakas sa motor ng binata sabay nilingon ito. "Salamat sa paghatid sakin." Magalang niyang sabi.

Rdj just nodded his heae and Kamden walked away. Mabilis namang binuhay ni Ream ang makina ng motor at umalis na sa lugar na iyon.

When the night has come, Jared did what Emperor Thanatos commanded him to do. Katulad ng napagusapan nila ni Thanatos susundui siya ni Jared ang butler nito. Inihanda ni Kamden ang sususotin niya ngayon gabi lalo't makakasama niya sa dinner ang Emperador.

He took a shower first and after that he wore the best outfit he could find. He faced the human size mirror and scanned himself from bottom to top.  He needs to look presentable tonight, he isn't just going to have a dinner with Emperor Thanatos, he is also going to make sure that Emperor Thanatos would never let the deal down.

He took a deep breath and looked himself in the mirror. "Damn, you are so handsome!" Sabay kindat niya sa salamin.

When someone knocked on the front door he immediately went down stairs to see who it is. Nang buksan niya ang pinto kaagad na bumungad sa kanya ang butler ni Emperor Thanatos, si Jared. Kumunot ang noo ni Kamden hindi dahil si Jared ang kaharap niya ngayon, kundi ang walong itim na kotseng nakaparada sa labas ng bahay niya. 

"Sir, Emperor Thanatos have asked me to take you to your dinner destination." Jared informed formally.

He looked at Jared and say. "Why the hell there are eight cars parking outside of my house?" Hindi makapaniwalanh tanong niya.

Para bang isang malaking okasyon ang pupuntahan niya dahil sa dami ng sasakyan sa labas ng bahay niya, magdidinner lang naman siya kasama si Emperor Thanatos at sa bahay naman ng Emperador ang dinner.

Jared turned around to looked at the cars he have brought just to pick up Mr. Kamden. "Ah, I was also told that I must prepared for whatever might comes. Maraming mga paparrazzi at ayaw ni Emperor Thanatos na mapahamak ka, kaya dinala ko ang mga taohan namin sa pagsundo sayo."

Thanatos is a wealthy man unlike him he can't do this kind of treatment. Thanatos really is the most wealthy man he knows.

"Anyway, come in." Pag-aya niya kay Jared.

Jared refused. "There is no need, sir. And I must inform you that, His Emperor is in the car...waiting for you."

Napakurap-kurap siya rito. "Ha? nandito si Thanatos-- i
I mean the Emperor?"

Jared nodded. "Yes, may I suggest that you hurry up. The Emperor doesn't like waiting."

"Uhm... Wait! may kukunin lang ako." Nagmamadalimg bumalik si Kamden sa kuwarto niya para kunin ang pepper spray. "Why am I bringing this again?" Tanong niya sa sarili habang nakatingin sa hawak niyang pepper spray.

"Just for protection. Yes that's it." Wika niya at ibinulsa iyon. He then, went downstairs and before they left, he made sure that he locked the door properly.  He followed Jared, kinakabahan siya dahil sa mga taohan ni Emperor Thanatos at halata sa mga itsura nila ang kabangisan at kaeksperto sa pakikipaglaban.  

Nang nasa harap na siya ng kotse kung saan naroon din si Thanatos sa loob pinagbuksan siya ng pinto ni Jared. "Thank you." Nahihiyang sabi niya sabay pumasok sa loob.

Tumango lang si Jared at muling sinara ang pinto ng sasakyan.

When Kamden sat on chair, Thanatos was already staring at him. Naiilang siya sa pagtitig rito.

And as always Thanatos was dressed in an king attire and with a mask wore on his face. Napapansin rin ni Kamden na hindi naalisan ng black leather gloves ang kamay ni Thanatos.

"I apologies for keeping you waiting, Emperor." He uttered.

Hindi kumibo si Thanatos at maya-maya umandar rin ang sasakyan at umalis na sa lugar na iyon. Nabalot ng katahimikan ang buong kotse  at nahihiya rin siyang magtanong rito kaya nanahimik na lamang siya.

Napaigtad sa gulat si Kamden nang hilain ni Thanatos ang seatbelt at pinagseatbelt siya. Dahil sa sobrang lapit ng mukha ng binata sa pisngi niya hindi naman niya maiwasang hindi tumingin rito, abala si Thanatos sa pag-aayos ng seatbelt niya habang siya ay titig na titig sa mga mata nito, nakalimutan niyang magseatbelt kanina. Nang matapos ng ayosin iyon ni Thanatos tinitigan siya nito at para bang sinusuri nito ang buong pagkatao niya.

Gusto-gustong alisin ni Kamden ang maskarang suot nito sa mukha, gusto niyang makilala ang Emperador at masilayan ang mukha nito. Hindi na malayan ni Kamden nakatitig ang Emperador sa kanyang mga labi, nakaawang ang kanyang mga labi at hindi maintindihan kung bakit ang lakas ng kabog ng damdamin niya.

He noticed the Emperor's hand was about to reach for his face but when Jared coughed. They both looked at Jared.

"Emperor." Tawag ng butler sa amo nito.

Umayos ng upo si Emperor Thanatos at tumingin kay Jared. "What is it?"

"I should informed you that, prince Tyson is at the mansion right now. He had just arrived."

Thanatos blew a loud breath and sighed. "Tell the guards to drag oit of the mansion, I am having a dinner with my guest at that mansion and I am certain if he stay there, he would ruin my peaceful night, so better tell the guards to make him leave or else... I will do it myself."

"At once, emperor." Wika ni Jared.

Kamden heard what Thanatos and Jared are talking about. Who is Tyson, anyway?

Nang makarating sila sa mansiyon ni Thanatos umawang ang labi ni Kamden sa pagkamangha rito. Bukod sa malaki ang lugar na iyon magaganda rin ang mga nakapaligid na halaman, puno't bumalaklak, sa laki ng mansiyon ni Thanatos siguro dadalawhin ang building ng Salvorte.

"This is huge." He commented.

"Well, this isn't my home Mr. Salvorte." Emperor Thanatos said.

"Just call me Kamden." Aniya rito.

Magkasabay silang pumasok sa loob ng mansiyon at nang tuluyan silang nakapasok, nawala ang mga ngiti sa labi ni Kamden, namilog ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa pinaghalong takot at pangagamba. An average strong man was holding one of Thanatos' guard on the neck, gripping the guard's neck tightly-- making the guard difficult to breath. Ng-aagaw buhay ang lalaking hinahawakan ngayon sa leeg ng lalaking nakangisi sa kanila ngayon.

"Welcome back, brother." The man said while smiling.

Brother? Kapatid iyon ni Emperor...

There was no emotion written on Emperor's eyes, he was calmed and looking at the man coldly.  "Let him go." Emperor Thanatos uttered firmly. His voice was deep and dark.

Ngumisi ang lalaki at mas lalong humigpit ang pagkakahawak sa leeg ng guwardiya. "He is so annoying me." Sabi nito.

"Put him down, now." Thanatos voice and eyes grew darker.

The man obliged, he let go of the guard's neck and sighed. At mabilis namang inaalalayan ng isang katulong ang guwardiya.

Takot at kinakabahan si Kamden dahil sa nasaksihan niya. May sakit ba ang lalaking ito?! Bipolar ba ito?!

Tumawa ang lalaki habang papalapit ngayon sa kanila. Napaantras siya nang lapitan siya nito pero hindi tumigil ang lalaki.

His forehead knotted as his eyes widened, the man who just made that guard suffered. Caressed his cheek, to his jaw and down to his neck and the man rough hand gentle rubbed Kamden's skin. "You have a very delicate and soft skin---"

Marahas na tinabig ni Thanatos ang kamay ng lalaki. Marahas na inalis ni  "What are you really doing here, Tyson?" May galit sa boses ni Thanatos.

Tyson laughed psychocpathly as he grabbed Thanatos neck and gripped it. "Where's Jared, my dear brother?" Tyson looked Thanatos deadly in the eyes.

"Is that why you're here?" Kalmadong tanong ni Thanatos sa kapatid.

"Brother, I need that guy to pay for what he did to me." Tyson said and happened to look at Jared who is now approaching them.

"Emperor, the dinner is served." Jared said without worrying any of it.

Tyson eyes filled with fire. "There you are."

Nilingon ni Thanatos si Kamden na ngayon ay takot na takot at kinakabahan.

"Dinner? Perfect I'm hungry." Wika ni Tyson at ang akala nila ay papatungo ito sa dinning room pero bigla nitong hinila ang kamay ni Jared at matiim na tinitigan sa mata. "And you're going to cook for me."

Thanatos was about to say something but Tyson gave him a death glared.

"Emperor Thanatos." It was Uren who spoked.

"Yes?" Thanatos was still looking at Kamden.

"The dinner is served." Wika ni Uren at inuwesto ang kamay sa bukas na pinto ng dinning room.

Hindi na nagsalita pa si Thanatos at hinawakan nito ang kamay ni Kamden, saka naglakad patungo sa dinning room. Nanginginig ang kamay nito at medjo pinagpapawisan, he stopped and glanced at Kamden. "Sorry about that." Wika nito.

He looked at Thanatos. "Ah? Ohh A-ayos l-lang."

"Did it scare you?" Thanatos asked.

Pinaghugot siya nito ng upoan at naupo naman siya, hindi sinagot nalang niya sinagot si Thanatos at sa halip ay ngumiti lang siya at sumulyap sa sinsarang pinto ngayon. Tanging silang dalawa lang ang nasa dinning room.

Kapagkuwan kumain silang hindi nag-uusap, inaamin ni Kamden na natakot siya sa nakita niya kanina pero nagpanggap siyang para walang nangyari. Pero alam naman niyang hindi maitatago ang takot at kaba sa mukha niya kanina.

He gulped and glanced at Emperor. "So, Tyson is your brother?" He asked.

Thanatos' hand reached for his wine and drank it. "Yes." He answered curtly.

Kamden nodded his head as if he was satisfied on Thanatos answer. He want to know more, he is curious about him, about the Goivonni royal family. Kamden had read so many article about the Goivonni Royal Family, as people expected Thanatos was crowned as the Emperor of the Imperial City in Greece at the age of fifteen and the people expections didn't disappointed them.

Isa rin sa mga nabasa niya ang pagtago ng mukha ni Thanatos sa lahat. Sa nabasa niyang artikolo kagabi tanging ang pumanaw na ina't ama nito at ang daddy niya ang nakakita sa mukha ni Thanatos, when the Goivonni late Emperor died Thanatos was expected to be crown and it happened. Thanatos is the new Emperor and ruler of the Imperial city of Greece. The death of the beloved late Emperor brought a burden of loss to the Goivonni family--- people are dying to see his mysterious face. Other say he hid his face because of the scars that his Mother gave to him when he was a child, iba't-ibang haka haka ang naririnig ni Kamden.

He arched an eyebrow at Thanatos who is now staring at him while he ate. It was getting uncomfortable hindi siya makakain ng maayos dahil sa pagtitig nito sa kanya. "Ahem, about the proposal..." Kamden cleared his throat.

Thanatos looked at him as he bit a mouthful of his meat and said. "The proposal had already been accepted Kamden."

"Oo nga, pero gusto ko lang malaman kung bakit ayaw mo sa proposal business ko pero tinangap mo parin?" That's really confused him tough.

Thanatos chuckled and wiped his mouth using the handerchief. "I have no excuse for that."

Ang iksi nitong sumagot sa kanya. Para bang may bayad ang bawat salita na lumalabas sa bibig nito. Hindi siya nakokontento sa sagot ng Emperador.

Matapos nilang mag-dinner, nagdesisyon na siyang umuwi sa bahay niya, masyadong napahaba ang usapan nila kanina at hindi namalayan ni Kamden na 10:30 an ng gabi at nasa mansiyon parin siya ng lalaki. Emperor Thanatos asked him to stay in the mansion but he have to refuse his Emperor's offer. He still have work to do left at his house and he doesn't want Mr. Kang to worry, kahit naman magpa-alam siya kay Mr. Kang hindi iyon papayag.

Kasalukuyan siyang nakatayo sa tabi ni Jared at gusto niya sanang ihatid siya nito pauwi pero panay naman ang pag-aayaw ni Jared dahil abala ito sa pagsisilbi kay prince Tyson.

He is losing too much patient. Hindi siya puwedeng manatili rito sa mansiyon ni Emperor Thanatos.

Huminga siya ng malalim at naglakad na lamang patungo sa teresa at pinagkatitigan ang magandang tanawin.

"So, you're Kamden Salvorte?"

Napatingin siya sa nagsalita, at walang iba kundi si Tyson Goivonni. May hawak itong rum ngayon.  Mukhang tapos na itong kumain at pahirapan si Jared.

"Y-yes." Sagot niya.

Tyson smiled at him, that he finds weird. Bukod sa mukhang may balak na masama ang ngiti nito parang bang tinatakot siya nito.

"Natakot ba kita kanina?" Inosenteng tanong nito habang nakangiti.

And he can managed to smile after what he did to Thanatos guard? Naawa nga siya sa lalaking iyon kanina.

Matapang niyang sinalubong ang mapanuring titig ni Tyson. "No." He lied kulang nalang tumakbo siya sa tabi ni Jared na ngayon ay abala parin sa pagliligpit ng pinagkainan  ni Tyson.

Where did Thanatos go? Pakiramdam ay hindi siya ligtas sa lalaking ito.

"Is that so?" Sabi ni Tyson na ikina tingin niya rito.  Lumapit ito sa kanya at gano'n na lamang ang pagkagulat at laki ng mga mata ni Kamden nang hawakan ni Tyson ang magkabilang pisngi niya at walang sere-seremonyang ginawaran ng halik ang mga labi niya. 

Para siyang nawala sa kanyang pag-iisip at nangugat ang kanyang mga paa sa kinatatayoan niya. As Tyson was about to do more, he pushed Tyson away and immediately covered his mouth using his hands, his eyes widened he still can't believe it. That was his first kiss!

Gulat si Kamden ngunit baliwala lang iyon kay Tyson.

"Tyson!"

An angry deep voice woken Kamden senses.

Sabay silang na patingin sa pinangalingan ng boses. It was Thanatos, the Emperor walked down the stairs as his eyes glared at Prince Tyson.

Thanatos jaw tigthened and his hand formed into fist.

Tyson smiled like a psycho. "He is mine now." Tyson said while smiling at Thanatos. "It was sealed with a kiss, brother."

Malalaki ang hakbang ni Thanatos palapit kay Tyson. He gasped in shock when Thanatos grabbed Tyson neck and he pinned him to the nearest wall.

When Tyson smirked, Thanatos gripped Tyson neck that it made Tyson coughed. "What did you just said?" Matatalim ang mga mata ni Thanatos habang hawak sa leeg ang kapatid nito.

"He is mine." Tyson said it again making Thanatos chuckled in disbelief.

"How dare you come to my house and own what's mine?"

What the fuck did he just said?! Anong-- I am not anyone's property.

That made Kamden looked at Jared, he was trying to tell him what really happen but Jared doesn't seem surprise at all.

"Wag kang mag-alala, they won't kill each other. Mahal nila ang isa't isa and that's how they show their love to each other. Anyway the Emperor said that you are going to stay here for tonight."

"Ha?! ayoko!" Sigaw niya rito.

Binitawan ni Thanatos ang kapatid niya at makamandag itong lumingon sa kanya. "Yes, you are staying." May autoridad nitong sabi.

"Forgive me for being rude, but I cannot stay nor will I choose to stay. You said we were just going to have a pleasant dinner, I am certain that you did not say nor mention to me that I will have to stay here... and for goodness sake I will not stay here with your psycho-bipolar brother who shamelessly stole my firts kiss!"

"Sir Kamden---"

Jared words cut off when he spoke again. "Now, I'm demanding you to bring me back home." Nagmamatapang niyang sabi.

Tyson chuckled slyly at him, looking at him like he's planning something savage. "Oh mr. Salvorte, I would love to have you in my bed." Tyson said.

"Lumayas ka sa pamamahay ko." Biglang sabi ni Thanatos kay Tyson. "Pagnakita pa kita rito bukas, I'll shoot you." Pagbabanta ni Thanatos sa kapatid.

Ngiting nakakainsulto lang ang tinugon ni Tyson sa Emperador.

"And you." Thanatos glared at Jared. "Make sure he won't be here by tomorrow."

Tumango si Jared at nilapitan si Tyson. "You've caused enough trouble, my Prince, now. Let us go."

Tyson glared at Jared. "Let's go, puppet."

Nang makaalis si Jared at Tyson sa mansiyon, naiwan si Kamden at Thanatos. Hindi niya alam kung ano ba dapat ang sasabihin niya, halata namang hindi nito pinansin ang sinabi niya kanina. Hindi rin siya maihatid ng mga drivers dahil nagpapahinga na ang mga ito. Wala na rin siyang nakikitang katulong sa mansiyon at mukhang nagsitulogan na ang mga ito.

Bumuntong-hininga siya. "Tatawagan ko nalang si Mr. Kang at magpapasundo ako--" Nagulat siya ng hawakan ni Thanatos ang kamay niya at hinala siya patungo sa sexond floor ng mansiyon, para siyang bata na sunod-sunuran rito.

And Kamden just realized now, they were heading to Thanatos room.

"S-sandali--- saan mo 'ko dadalhin?"

Mahigpit ang hawak ni Thanatos sa kamay niya kung saan nakasout ang relo niya. Dahil sa sobrang higpit niyon hindi niya maiwasang masakatan sa tuwing hihilain siya nito. It hurts.

Hindi siya pinansin ni Thanatos, hanggang sa nakarating sila sa isang prebadong silid, hinila siya ni Thanatos saka marahas na binitawan ang malapulsohan niya.

He groaned. He was hurted. He scanned his wrist and only to see the bruise and small cuts.

He happened to looked at Thanatos. He couldn't tell what was going on, bakit dinala siya sa kuwarto nito.

Thanatos didn't locked the door and he was thankful for that.

"Bakit mo ko dinala dito?" Tanong niya kapagkuwan.

Pero hindi kumibo si Thanatos at sa halip ay naghubad ito. Unang hinunad ni Thanatos ang coat na suot niya, kumunot ang noo ni Kamden nang maglakad ito palapit sa kanya. "W--what a-are you doing?" Kinakabahang tanong ni Kamden.

Thanatos untied his necktie. "It's nearly eleven pm Kamden, delikado ang umuwi ng bahay sa ganitong oras."

Tumango-tango siya bilang pag-sangayon pero ang totoo niyan ay kinakabahan siya.

"You can stay here, in my room." Thanatos added.

He blinked. "Ha? y-your room?"

Hindi puwede. Ayaw niya. Bahala na ito. "Sa guest room na lang ako, puwede ba?"

Damn he is not going to sleep in Thanatos bed at lalong hindi siya tatabi rito. Damn it he just meet him yesterday he doesn't even know if he can trust this man. He should have called Mr. Kang by now but Thanatos wouldn't let him. "Your mansion is huge and I know there is enough room to stay. I don't want to use the Emperor's bed or to be in your room..." He gulped.

He expected Thanatos to answer positively but what he get is a NO answer.

"But... don't you think it's too weird to let a guy stay in your room? I mean---"

Inisang hakbang siya ni Thanatos. "You're staying in my room whether you want it or not."

Kamden eyes stared at him. Guess he is going to stay and sleep in Thanatos room. "Kung dito ako sa kama matutulog... Saan ka naman?" He curiosly asked.

"Sa kama." Maiksing sagot nito.

He was expecting him to say ON THE SOFA, why do I keep expecting things from him? Pull yourself together Kamden.

"Magshashare tayo?"

Hindi kumibo si Thanatos.

I think he likes me. Kamden thoughts.

I'm so handsome. A man like him? huh I'm sure he likes me.

He is confident about it.
