Killers to Lovers 7

~~

Cane is now busy making sure no one ever finds out about Vix. He made sure to silence his people. He even lied to his father. The news about his so called death was already spread but some are still skeptical about it. Some demanded to see his actual body for proof.

As of now the letter which has the plan that Cane proposed is now on it's way to the Locke residence. Cane wanted to negotiate and work together with Vix's father.

Which will be a bit hard to achieve considering that Cane is suppose to kill Vix. But Vix already added a letter he wrote on his own. That letter will help Cane persuade his father, Mikael.

"So Justin tell me all about this Vix guy and why Cane didn't kill him?"

Noah decided to asked Justin since he's still puzzled on why Cane didn't kill his enemy and instead took him home. And is even willing to protect him.

"Well aside from his amazing looks he also has a cute smile and his a person you can easily fall for. I can't really see or tell what Cane sees in him but I'm guessing he found the one." Justin said as he stuff his nose with cotton.

"Besides all that. How is his skills?”

"He’s an amazing shooter. He can hit someone who's a few miles away straight on the head. And he can even tell when I'm behind him or not even though I didn't make any single sound while creeping up on him."

"Maybe your right. Cane finally found the one who can melt that heart of ice of his. But how can we truly protect him from Uncle! You know that once he finds out he'll do everything in his power to kill Vix!"

That made Justin think for a bit. If Vix truly is the one for Cane then they have to protect him at all cost even if it's going against Cane's father.

"I know that. But we don't have a choice Noah. It's either we protect him with Cane or we'll die in the hands of a furious Cane. And besides I think Cane already has a plan if his father ever finds out about Vix."

Vix was busy looking around the place he was going to stay at. After taking a short nap he decided to explore the place.

The place wasn't huge or anything. It was like any normal house. The furniture’s are all not expensive at all. The decorations are all simple and very pleasing to the eye. It has a homey feel to it and considering it’s surrounded by nature makes it more like home.

The house has two bedrooms, a huge living room and a kitchen as well as a personal garden. The place was also hidden by a lot of trees and bushes.

"Do you like it?"

"Ahhh!" Vix let out high pitch scream as Cane suddenly spoke from behind him. With a hand right on his chest he gave Cane a glare.

"The hell. If I had a heart disease then I would've died already... Jerk Cane don't do that again. Ever."

"Sorry, now answer my first question."

Vix gave Cane a blank look.

"Yes I like it a lot. The place is very homey and it's perfectly hidden…. Who lives here?" Vix asked as he took a sit in the cute couch in the living room.

"My mother." Vix can see the sadness in Cane's eyes as he told him about his mother.

"Listen I don't wanna sound like I'm intruding in your private life or anything but…..where is she?"

"She died after saving me from one of my dad's enemies."

"Oh I'm sorry about that... I-… I can actually understand the feeling your in right now."

Vix knew that pity isn't what Cane needed. It wasn't what anyone would want when they tell someone about their deceased mother, at least not all. So he did what he didn't do to just about anyone. He gave Cane a hug which they both needed at the moment.

Soon Vix's shirt started to get wet as Cane cried silently on his shoulders.

~~

This was the first time Cane ever showed his weak side. He never cried even if he's already badly hurt and now he's crying in the arms of his enemy because of the painful memories of the past.

All the emotions he had kept bottled up all those years are finally coming out. His once heavy heart started to become light with all his past emotions finally coming out.

Cane buried his face deeper into Vix's shoulders. His aware that Vix's clothes is already wet with his tears but he didn't care. Right now all he needed is a shoulder to cry on.

A hug to make him feel loved even though it's not from his family. To make him feel relieve about himself. To at least make him forget about the burden he’s been carrying all his life.

"Shhh, cry all you want... Just let it all out Cane. Cry a bucket or a drum of tears if you want since no one but me can see or hear you." Vix coaxed Cane like a baby as he too tried to fight his own tears since he too began missing his mother.

He’s just like Cane. He keeps all his feelings locked up deep inside him as well. He can also feel a sense of warmth in his heart as he hugged the crying Cane in his arms.

"Cane...if you need someone or a shoulder to lean on and cry you can always come to me. We both lost our mother's to someone so I know how you feel right now. I too am like you Cane. We are the same yet also not the same."

Cane started to calm down as he listened to Vix's soothing voice. It reminds him of how his mother would talk in a soft and gentle way to calm him down whenever he cried.

Cane would've felt embarrassed for crying like that especially in front of Vix but he doesn't care. At least now his heart doesn't feel heavy anymore. His also happy to cry on someone's shoulder. To be hugged and comforted by someone. A first for him ever since his mother died.

"Thank you Vix. You helped me a lot today and I don't know how to repay you."

"That's easy. Help me kill all my targets so I can finally leave my past behind. I want to move on and have a new life. Go somewhere safe to begin again. Maybe find someone to love and create my own family. Just like how my mom wanted me to do." Vix smiled at his suggestion and the path his mother wanted him to have.

Cane gave Vix a smile which he rarely does. His heart beating fast as he watch Vix's beautiful smile which looks cute with his bunny teeth.
