Rowoon's POV
'Fear' and 'Love' are two things that could make a man weak. And I am incapable of feeling any of these attributes.
You see, ever since I was born, I have been programmed to be this merciless killing machine, devoid of weak sentiments. I was raised like a hitman, trained to be highly intelligent, and molded into the picture of an Emperor. I was born as the heir to a throne and I would one day rule an empire. A Mafia Empire where there's no place for good or kindness. My world is Dark and I am expected to be Hades himself.
My father thinks I'm a prodigy, a young man capable of claiming power and vanquishing our enemies without any effort. In his eyes, I am a terrifying soulless man capable of doing anything to get what I want. I guess he is proud of that.
I would describe myself as a closeted person who doesn't let anybody get too close to me. Nor do I have the capability of feeling 'love'. I do have lovers. They quench my hunger for lust and soothe my erotic desires. But I don't keep any sort of bond with them...I just use them to fulfill my own needs.
There's no intimacy or passion.
But that was until I met Him.
Bae Yunseo.
The object of all my desires and fantasies.
He's different.
Ever since the day I first saw him at the cherry blossom park, something ignited within me.
I felt something. A strong urge or a tiny spark...I do not know how to describe it.
I couldn't speak to him that day and I couldn't ask for his name. But then he came to my concert, innocently asking for an autograph. He didn't know that he entered the wolf's den and he didn't know that he would be my prey. From then on, I started my hunt. Chasing him with an insatiable hunger.
When he lay on my bed the other night while I was undressing, I had to clench my fists and bite my lip in order to stop myself from pouncing on him. Oh, the things I would do to him. I would trap him under my body and kiss him till he couldn't breathe. I would mark him as mine like a hungry alpha. I would make that beautiful face cry under me while I pound into him...
But what I have towards Yunseo isn't just a carnal hunger. I care about him and I feel emotions that I have never felt before.
I get jealous and possessive because of him.
When Juyeon held Yunseo's hand at the hotel, I was fuming with rage. I was about to break Juyeon's hand and I would've done it without any effort at all.
I never lose my control and I certainly have never lost my mind or patience because of a boy.
But he's a pretty boy
He's My Pretty Boy.
"Arggg I can't do this anymore," I whispered to myself while breaking away from my intrusive thoughts.
"This is getting out of hand. What should I do?" I was speaking to myself in an empty suite dressed in only a bathrobe. It has been two days and I couldn't stop thinking about him.
What was I doing in a suite all alone? I should be walking in the streets of Milan, enjoying the night view, and maybe visiting a club so that I can find somebody to make out with.
All I need is a nice body and a pleasant face...the heat will be out of my system in no time.
I took my phone, my fingers lingering on the head bodyguard's contact number. I was about to ask him to escort someone into my room, but I stopped. I couldn't do it.
I threw my phone onto the floor and walked towards the bay windows, not caring at all if the bloody phone was broken beyond recognition. I punched the glass windowpane and looked at the tall aesthetic buildings indignantly.
I wanted to be back in Seoul and I wanted to see his face. That was my only focus.
As if to anger me even more, the phone rang, its sound echoing like a siren.
So the stupid phone wasn't exterminated after all.
I lazily picked it up while being careful not to scrape my fingers on its shattered glass fragments.
"Yes," I answered with an intimidating tone.
"Master Rowoon. Something serious happened."
It was Kai. His voice was a bit shaky so my body turned into alert mode, wondering what sort of threat we were facing this time.
"There was a breach at the mansion. A couple of assassins broke in and tried to kidnap Mr. Yunseo. But we stopped them and we have it all under control sir."
"WHAT?! Is Yunseo alright? Is he hurt?" I was panicking. My heart was beating so fast that I could hear it pulsating through my chest.
"No sir, he is unharmed. We have increased the security in the mansion and Mr. Yunseo is currently being guarded in a safer room. We have already added our best soldiers so there's nothing to worry about."
"Nothing to worry about? Are you hearing yourself, Kai? I was gone for two days and this happened. If you were so good at your job, you would've tracked down the assassins before they came anywhere near Yunseo. I'm coming back."
"But sir, don't you have more important business matters to attend to? I think that you should stay in Milan till further notice...at least till we find the mastermind behind this game."
"Father can handle everything else. I'm coming back whether you like it or not. So do not fu**in question my decisions because I do what I want. Do you want me to beat you too or do you want to get fired from your post?"
At this point, I was shouting into the phone. My hands were shaking with anger and my head was fuzzy with all the murderous plans running in my brain.
"I will kill those bastards with my bare hands. Whoever is behind this better be prepared to suffer unimaginable pain," I ended the call, not listening to Kai's stupid warnings.
How dare they try to take away my most prized possession? They don't know who they're messing with and I will show them what I'm capable of.
Yunseo...
The image of him crying because of a bunch of dull assassins made me angrier than before.
I was the only person who was gonna make him cry. ONLY ME.
And he would cry while being trapped under my body, begging for mercy as I claim him.
