Savage Love(LGBT Romance)

Chapter Two: Enemy's Puppet

"Let go of your weapons." The Levisay's Master's right-hand man commanded him.

 His eyes were glued to the man behind the man wearing a pair of glasses and saw the man he hated closely after years of resenting him.  The worst person he had ever heard even though he had never seen. The reason why Tyler died.

 Lucas Levisay.

 When Linus tried to move, Lucas' voice stopped him.  "I wouldn't try that if I were you, boy. Marcus wouldn't think twice before shooting you between the eyes."  Lucas' gruff voice warned him and Linus clenched his jaw before letting his weapons drop to the ground.  "But I must say, I admire your guts. But hey, what took you so long? You've been trailing my ass for years now, right? Right. Got lazy? Waiting for the 'perfect time'?"  Lucas mocked him and snatched his head back by his hair. "You are stupid if you think you can kill me that easily, boy. Hundreds already tried, but where are they now? They are rotting."  he spat in his face before letting his hair go.  "Oh, you still have a lot to learn."

 Linus shut his eyes and clenched his fists.  He got overconfident that he can do it.  He got so blinded by his anger and he failed to heed Henry's warning. If he waited more time, would he have succeeded?

 You're so stupid, Linus.  Henry was right and you were in a hurry.  You became too confident in yourself and now you are caught.  Now you will die and you can do nothing.

 "But I don't feel like killing you today. Marcus, how about we test that new creation of yours to this boy? He'd be a perfect puppy for us, don't you think? Have you seen his eyes? They are burning with so much anger  and hatred and it will entertain me dearly to tame such a boy who think he can kill me." Lucas started followed by an evil laugh.

 His eyes widened at what he heard.  "No! Just kill me! F ****** kill me!"  he roared and trashed against the man who's now holding him hostage.

 "Where's the fun in that?"  Lucas asked with a laugh before slapping him hard and his ears rang.  "Take him to the Lab."

 "No!" Linus yelled and thrashed against his right-hand man's hold, but his effort was futile because the man named 'Marcus' is a lot stronger than him.

 He tried to punch his face, but the man single-handedly held both of his arms, and when he tried to kick him, Marcus effortlessly avoided it and kneed his stomach, making Linus heave out and almost puked out the pie Juliet baked.

 Am I really weak or are they just really strong?  What is missing?  Where am I lacking?  Why am I weak?!  Why can't I do anything?! Linus asked himself in frustration.

 He couldn’t move again until they dragged him along the mansion to a basement hidden inside a Library.  Marcus dragged him to the bottom and pushed him violently, causing him to fall.  When he tried to stand up to chase Lucas, Lucas' right-hand man stopped him by just moving his index finger and pointing somewhere. Linus was stunned and only then he noticed some armed men inside the Laboratory as big as an actual Laboratory with lots of equipment he couldn't be bothered to know.

 Instead of sulking like a dog that his Master would not allow him to do so, he remained standing and raised his head.  Even if he can't fight back, he won't show weakness to them.

 He heard Lucas laugh again so he looked at him. The current Master possesses black hair that is already overgrown with white hair.  In his estimation, he was only a few years older than Henry.  If Linus is not mistaken, they are almost the same height, but Lucas Levisay has a wrestler's body even though he is older. Strictness and sadism can be seen in his gray eyes. In his pale skin, you can see some tattoos as the sleeve of his suit is folded on his elbow.

 "I really like your guts, boy. You're surrounded and you will die instantly with a single command and yet, you're standing so proudly like you can win against them."  Lucas taunted him from where he's leaning.  "But let me give you some advice, son. It's not all about bravery. Courage will drive you to the final destination. You know the secret? Power. Look around you, son. Men who will sacrifice their lives for you,  weapons, lots of money and a loyal servant. Those are what you need to succeed."

 His jaw tightened at what he heard.  There was a part of him that wanted to be stubborn and not listen to what he said, but there was a part of him that wanted to hurt himself because he had become so innocent and naive. Lucas Levisay is correct and he hates himself for realizing it's too late.

 "Don't worry, you still have a lot of time to learn. You are still young, and I will gladly be your Master."  Lucas added sarcastically.

 "Napoleon, it's ready." 

 He turned again to the man wearing reading glasses and long hair.  He kind of reminds Linus of an anime character, but couldn't put a face on it.  The said right-hand man has an emotionless expression on his face as if he is just a programmed robot. He is currently wearing a white Lab gown like a real Scientist and it made him wonder if he really is one.

 Before Linus could move, he was being held by two uniformed men and pulled to a prepared bed.

 "What are you going to do to me? Stop it! I am not a lab rat, f ****!"

 "Don't worry, you won't feel much pain."  Luke's sarcasm and they succeeded in tying him to a bed before cutting off the clothes he was wearing.  Moments later, he felt a stab in his arm. Lucas stepped into his view and had something in his hand hidden in a plastic.  "See this? This is Sharpie's new invention. Don't worry, you're not the first one he experimented it with. This is called Voice Activated Chip, a chip that will be activated by certain words that will come from you. You will do whatever I say and don't ever betray me because otherwise? You will explode into tiny pieces. "

 All the silliness and humor in his eyes was gone and replaced by seriousness.  "From this day on, you will live your whole life serving me. From now on, you will dedicate your life to me. You will be my son's assistant, but you will still be under my command. Linus Savage, you will now be the man you hated and wanted to kill puppet."

 Linus felt suddenly drowsy as he stared at Lucas. 

 "What words should we use?"  he vaguely heard Marcus asked Lucas.

 Linus tried to fight the feeling, but he could feel his body surrendering to it.

 "How about something... interesting?"

 Linus heard the words that will activate the chip they will embed in his body before he succumbs into unconsciousness.

 The next time Linus woke up.  He woke up with his whole body sore and screaming.  He winced when he tried to sit up and automatically felt a searing pain in his chest.  When he touched it, his fingers ran over the rough part and his words immediately searched for a mirror in the room. His eyes found a closed door that he assumed was a bathroom so he immediately stood up, but stopped when dizziness hit him.  He tilted his head and shook his head softly to clear his mind. Maybe it was still the effect of what that four-eyed had injected in him.

 When he recovered, he proceeded with the plan and opened the door. He immediately looked in the large mirror and was stunned by what he saw and when his suspicion was confirmed.

 Right there just right above his left chest, close to his f****** the heart is a stitch where he believes the chip was planted in his body.

 "F ***."  Linus cursed and laughed softly to himself and couldn't stop himself from going crazy.  "F *** you!"  he repeated softly as his fist also repeatedly punched wherever it landed.

 He could no longer bear the pain of his whole body or chest because he was more hurt by the fact that he was now a puppet of the man he hated.

 His plan failed and now he's going to be a slave.  He's going to be at Lucas' and his son's mercy.  He's now going to spend his life serving them until the day he decides to end his misery.

 Linus shouted and thrashed the room he's in, not caring if it's not his room or what he's breaking probably costs more than what he earns a year.

 He stopped when his eyes connected to a broken piece of glass, his eye burning with rage and his chest heaving.

 What if he just ends it?  That way, they won't be able to use him.  He won't have to serve the Levisay and be miserable for the rest of his life.  When he ends his life now, will he see Tyler in the next life?  Will he get angry for what he's done?

 Before he could contemplate the idea however, a voice stopped him from doing so.  His eyes snapped to the left to see Marcus also known as Sharpie standing calmly in front of the closed door.  Linus chuckled darkly because he even failed to pick up the sound of his footsteps.

 So much for heightening your senses, Linus.

 "I would think twice, if I were you. The moment you die, your so-called parents will follow you."  his robot-like voice and tone told him.

 Linus laughed with no humor and stared at his bleeding knuckles, his hands trembling at the amount of anger coursing through his vein.

 "I will make you regret not killing me. I will kill you and that Master of yours. I will do it slowly and painfully and I will enjoy every moment of it."  he spat at the man with so much rage in his voice.

 "Right."  Marcus deadpanned while looking at him and his mess.  "If you are done with your tantrums, the Master would like you to meet the Family. And you better behave and start getting used to your new life now, Linus. Ah, wait. You are no longer allowed to use that name in this house. From now on, you are to be called Savage because real names are only for the First Family. "

 The tone he's using made Linus wonder if the man is truly a robot with no emotions or whatsoever. It's like, everything he says is typed out by someone out there. It's like he's just programmed to do what his Master says.

 Just like him now.

 "Whatever. Your voice and face irritate me. F*** off."  he snapped at him and watched him leave.

 His eyes studied the mess he made before deciding that enough is enough.  Nothing he does will change his fate.  Nothing will stop Lucas from getting what he wants.  His temper will not help him leave this place or remove the damn chip.  As he cleans the room, Linus forces himself to think of a new plan.

 He needs a new plan and this time, he needs to think things through and not rush anything.  This time, he will make sure he will succeed.  But for now, he will make the Monster think that he can tame the tiger in him.  He will make him think that he has already given up.  And when the right time comes, he will bite their f ****** heads off.

 When he's done tidying up the room as much as he can, he takes a shower in the bathroom.  It's not insignificant that the bedroom and bathroom are bigger than what he used to have, but he'll still choose my old one over this one.  If he is not mistaken, he is currently inside the Mansion of the Levisay.

 Will he live here?  That way, it will be easier for him to plan because he is just close to his target.

 After taking a bath Linus dried himself and frowned as his eyes were starting to get irritated because of the contact lens he was wearing, but he would put up with it for now because he didn’t want to increase Lucas ’knowledge of his weaknesses.  He went to a closet and saw new clothes.  He didn't waste any more time thinking about why there were new clothes to wear before choosing a white polo shirt and black slacks when he heard a tantalizing voice.

 Linus looked to the right and at the open balcony and felt the urge to find the voice.  Why does the person singing seem  so sad? Why does his voice seem to hide so much resentment?

 Linus is not sure why or how, but he suddenly feels like knowing who the guy is.  He suddenly feels the need to know why he's sad.  He suddenly has the urge to protect him from the people hurting him.

 Linus frowned and shook his head to clear that thought from his mind.  No.  That shouldn’t and wouldn't happen because everyone in this mansion is his enemy.  Everyone in this mansion he should not trust.

 Linus resumed dressing before combing his hair in its usual style.  He would not show Levisay the pitiful new puppy of their family.  He will show them his strong personality and brave Savage.
