Killers to Lovers 14

"Young Master someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"We don't know yet sir but the man had just passed out due to his bleeding wounds."

Vix stood up alarmed at what the butler just said. He and Cane were just enjoying each others company. Telling each other stories or the fun time they had in the amusement park the other day. Cuddling in the couch while watching a movie when the butler came barging in panting hard.

"Take him inside now! We'll just have to question him once he's awake."

The butler look at Cane to asked for permission. Cane gave him a nod before looking at the love of his life who's already feeling at home and even giving his people orders. It made Cane realize how much time had truly passed already since he met Vix. Even though it's just been a month.

The two of them waited till a few butlers went inside with the unconscious man in their hold. Vix let out a loud gasp once he saw the man's face. The very man who broke his heart back then.

"Nicolas!!!"

Vix quickly stood up and assisted the butler's into getting the unconscious Nicolas to a room. While Cane was left in the living room looking mad due to Vix caring for another man which is not him.

VIX

I wiped Nicolas’ bruised face with a wet towel. This was the third time I saw him in this state. When Nicolas and I were still together his father would sometimes beat him up. That left him all battered up and sometimes he couldn't even move his body.

Remembering those times made me feel the pain I've endured back then. The pain which he himself inflicted on me. But still up till now I still am taking care of him but only as a friend and nothing more. I knew Cane might be feeling jealous right now but I'll just console him later.

The more important thing to do now is to clean up all of Nicolas' wounds to avoid it getting infected. I stood up and asked a few of Cane's maids to clean up his wounds. I can't do it since I need to go and talk to Cane. I knew that he might of gotten jealous over Nicolas earlier so I want to make things clear to him.

After asking a few maids for Cane's whereabouts. I found him in his gym battering a punching bag. I can see that his angry with how strong his punches are. And he already broke three punching bags.

"Cane?" I hesitantly said.

Cane ignored me and kept on punching. Biting my lower lip I slowly walk towards him. I let out a sigh before back hugging Cane. I knew that this would make him stop and listen to what I have to say so I hugged him tight.

"Listen to me Cane. That guy is Nicolas his my ex and nothing more. Also we still need to listen to what he's got to say and why he went here."

"Is he really just your ex and nothing more? You don't have feelings for him anymore?" Cane childishly said.

I struggled to stop myself from laughing at Cane's childish voice. I turned him over and nearly cooed. He looks so cute with that pout on his face.

"Yes. He's nothing but an ex now. I don't have feelings for him cause I already like someone else and you know who that is. Now let's just wait for Nicolas to wake up then we'll question him?"

"Alright. But no being touchy with him or else I'll stick a bullet in his head."

"You got it."

~~

Vix and Cane waited till Nicolas gained consciousness. After that they went to Cane's study room to talk.

"Where am I?"

"Glad your awake Nic. Now tell us what's going on and why you are here?"

Nicolas studied Vix who's standing too close to Cane. Just by seeing the two of them he already knew that the two like each other. A lot.

"I came here to tell you...I mean to warn you about my father. Vix he's after you and to confirm your thoughts about who killed your mother, it was my father who did it. He was after something valuable that your family holds."

"Wha..."

Xiao Zhan nearly exploded in anger at what Nicolas had said. So all this time he was right all along. Nicolas' father was really the one who killed his mother.

"What valuable thing is your murderer of a father after? Why kill my mother over it?"

"It's a treasure that is passed down from your family more specifically from your mother's side of the family. She was protecting the location of that treasure that's why my father killed her. Now he's after you, he thinks that you know the location to the treasure. This is the reason why I came here. To warn you and well try to help you since I may know a thing or two about my father's weakness and all."

"Why should I allow you to help? I knew your father doesn't favor you Nicolas, so I also know that you would do anything just to be recognized as his son no matter the cause of it!"

Even though Vix already wanted to hit Nicolas so badly he couldn't. He knew that right now violence isn't the way for him to get more answers. He needs to know more about this treasure and why almost everyone who's on his list wanted to get their hands on it.

"Calm down Vix! I never wanted my father's acknowledgement anymore. I knew he didn't consider me a son even though I'm his own blood. He only wants Ian and nothing more. And I'm not an i***t to do his bidding for him. I'd rather help you instead of him. He's the reason why my mother doesn't see me as her son as well."

"Calm down!!! You expect me to calm down?!! How dare yo--"

"Alright we'll talk more tomorrow."

Cane decided to cut their conversation short since Vix is already trembling in anger. He needs to calm him down before he goes off and kills someone.

Nicolas gave him a nod before a maid escorted him back to his room.

Cane then took Vix’s trembling hands and pulled him towards the gym. He knows of a good way to release anger and that's to vent it on something. So he silently let Vix stand in front of a punching bag.

After waiting for a while Vix finally moved. With a strong punch the punching bag broke in half with the shear force of Vix's punch. By the sound of his punch Cane knew that it'll have to take a few more punching bags for Vix to fully calm down.

When the next punching bag was in place Vix began positioning himself. And with a powerful roundhouse kick the punching bag got destroyed again. With a sigh Cane ordered a few butlers to keep changing the destroyed punching bags as he called his brother to order a few more punching bags.
