"Are you ready?"
Shion look at his older brother.
"I am nervous. Today, I will take over the mafia family and I will tell dad that I like men."
"Don't be nervous. I got your back."
Shion hesitantly look at Grim's reflection in the mirror infront of them.
"Will dad accept me? I am afraid I will cause him lots of troubles after confessing the truth."
Grim smiled at him.
"He will lil' bro. Trust me. Besides, you will be in more trouble if he will find out about it from others."
Grim have a point. His dad will be so mad if he will know about him from others. Besides, he's so tired of running anymore. That is why he accepted the taking over the mafia family.
"Let's go, everyone is waiting for you."
"Shion!"
They looked at the door when it opens.
"Seth!"
Seth immediately hugged Shion.
"I'm sorry for being late."
Grim cough. Seth let him go and hid him from his brother. Grim's left eyebrow arched.
"Why are you hiding my little brother from me?"
"I will get him out of here now, and I will not let you stop us."
Grim laughed.
"Come on Seth, I've been doing anything just for my little brother so don't accused me."
"Even so. I will hide him from you. Let's go."
"W-wait, Seth. I will not run again."
"What?!"
Shion smiled at Seth.
"I accepted being the head of the Del Luna mafia family."
"What?! Why? How about your freedom? Your café?"
"I can still manage the Moonlight café, I think."
Seth was so shocked. It really shocked him. Shion suddenly accepted the position which he's been refusing from the start.
"What happened? What's with the sudden decision? Did they threat you?!"
"No, no, calm down Seth. I-I decided it myself. I will accept the position, it is mine afterall. And I decided to tell dad that I like men."
Seth stepped backwards.
"What? You like men?"
"Yeah. I am sorry for not telling you earlier but I just got confirmed it when Dark approached me."
Seth was so upset.
'So Dark is the lucky guy.'
"A-are you mad at me? I am sorry."
"No, I will accept you no matter what, Shion. Always remember that."
Shion smiled at hin genuinely.
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
"Young master, your father is waiting for you in the stage."
"I'll go ahead. Dad is calling me."
"Yeah, I'll go next to you."
Shion smiled for the both of them and leave. Seth clenched his fist.
"I am not be shocked anymore when you will say that you like my brother. I can tell it."
"You knew, as expected from the first born of Del Luna."
Grin just smirked at Seth.
"You have been late for my brother, he likes that guy."
"Tss. I don't care."
Seth walk passed by Grim and about to leave the room when Grim talk.
"Don't make anything stupid, Seth. I will kill you if my brother got hurt. Physically or emotionally."
"Huh! As if I can let him to be hurt."
Seth left Grim in the room. Grim heaves a sigh.
"My, seems like my little brother's love life will be more complicated."
~~~~
"Be ready."
"Y-yes dad."
Shion is so damn nervous because of many people in front of him. All are looking at him intently.
"Good evening lady's and gentlemen. thank you for attending this party. tonight, our Del Luna mafia famly will have a new head, after so long. My second son, Shion Valdez Del Luna, will take over the mafia family."
A loud round of aplause echoed the place.
"Isn't he the owner of the Moonlight Cafe?"
"Yeah, It really is him."
"Wow. Different field of work."
"Will he be able to handle the mafia family? Baking is different from killing."
Shion gulp upon hearing the comments of other people.
"To clear your doubts, I, the head of Del Luna family, assure you that my son is over qualified the position."
There is no one talk when they heard what his dad said.
"From today onwards, the Del Luna mafia family will be under the management of Shion Valdez Del Luna. That's all everyone. Thank you again for coming. You may now enjoy the night."
Another loud round of applause echoed. Shion approached his father when it started walking out of the stage.
"Dad."
"What?"
"I have something to tell you."
His father look at him.
"What is it?"
"Dad, I-"
Shion was interrupted when one of his dad's men come near them and whispered something to his dad.
His dad then smirked and look at him.
"Say whatever you want later Shion. I have something to show you."
Shion can feel danger in his voice.
'What is it? I can feel something bad will happen.'
"Follow us."
Shion had no choice but to follow his father and his men in one of the rooms in the mansion.
"What is it dad?"
"I just have some gift for you, my son."
And there it is. there really is something wrong. he can sense it.
"Open the door."
one of their men open the door of the room in front of them. it is dark inside.
"Leave us alone."
"Yes sir."
"Come inside."
Shion went inside the room with his father.
"What's inside this room dad? It's do Dark here."
"That's my gift for you."
"What?"
Shion close his eyes when his dad turn on the light. When he opened his eyes, his mouth gap.
"D-dad."
"Aren't you happy to see them? To see him?"
There's an annoyed tone in his father's voice.
"D-dark..."
He's almost teary upon looking at the guy he likes. Dark's feet and hands are tied, there's a tape on his mouth and bruises on his face.
"Dad, what have you done? Why do you have to do this?"
On the other side is Clark in the same situation too but less the bruises, seems like only Dark got beaten.
"I just want to give him some lesson, son."
"Lesson? Why? I already agreed to take over the position, why do you have to do this to them? You're men told me that they will never hurt them!"
His dad stared at him.
"You're raising your voise to me because of this man?"
Shion clenched his fist.
"Hmmm."
He looks at Dark when it makes a sound. He went to him and get off the tape on his mouth.
"Are you okay? What are you doing here?"
Dark smiled at him.
"Why the heck are you smiling? Do you even know your situation?"
"Don't cry. Of course, I know my situation clear."
"Then why are you here?! Look a yourself!"
Dark look at his father.
"I am fine my little angel. I ust received a lesson from your father. It is my fault."
"What?"
Shion was so clueless. His father cough to get their attention.
"Shion, son. I know you more than anyone because I am your father. I know your secrets. I can see you through."
"W-what? Y-you mean.."
"Yes, I know that you like men. Even before your brother explained it to me after that man did a scene in front of our manor."
Shion look at Dark and it just smiled at him awkwardly.
"Dad, now that you knew..."
His dad smiled at him and he's really shocked.
"It's fine with me son. Whatever your personality is, you're still my son. It will never affect the mafia family. They will still respect you not because you are my son but because you are capable of handling them."
Shion is crying now. He's so happy. He really is. He thought that his father was blaming him for the death of their mom. Their mom died after giving birth of him.
He's so happy now that his father and him is fine and it already accepted him so easy.
"Thank you dad."
He hugged his father. Sobbing like a cry baby on his chest.
"I will do anything not to disapoint you."
"Just be yourself son. It is fine to me. You don't have to impress anyone."
"Thank you dad."
Dark is smiling upon looking at his little angel crying because of joy. Finally, they don't have to worry because of their little secret.
"But why did you beat him dad?"
"Ah, that brat."
Both of them look at Dark.
"That brat made a scene two days after you got your punishment. He just announced to everyone that you are his little angel and you're his wife."
Shion automatically blushed. Looking at Dark with wide eyes and mouth open.
"Hehehe, I am just stating the truth, wife."
"Stop that Dark! You're in front of my dad."
The guy just smirked at them.
"So what? He just gave me a good beating and now that we are open, I can call you whatever I want to in front of everyone."
"Ho? Then what about looking for another man for my son? It would be better if his partner will help him with his task."
"What?! You gave me a good beating and you have the guts to tell me that in my face?!"
His dad smirked at the annoyed face of Dark.
'How childish.'
"Don't you dare look for another man for my wife, you old hag."
"Oho? You called me old hag knowing that you are in my territory huh? You really wanna die early, bastard."
"Whatever! my little angel is mine. You understand that?"
"Well, I am afraid that I will not agree to you."
"You! Old hag!"
"Bastard."
Shion is so happy that his father and Dark seems to get along well.
'They are both childish.'😅
~~~ On the other side.
Clark was silently crying in his mind.
"I am here sir Dark, sir Shion. Please release me first before you get along there. Please! I still want to live!"
😭😭😭😭😭
