Chapter 457 FIRST KILL

Chapter 457 FIRST KILL　　Maybe it's because of the rain outside which gives a sense of calm and peace. You knew right, about how a rainy day makes you a little more vulnerable about how you feel and how it becomes easier for you to show your weak side in times like this.

A side you've never shown before or a side that no one else has noticed before.

And for Jayden and Apple, that moment of magic is now. When Jayden is at his lowest and most vulnerable, and also when Apple seems much calmer than usual.

"Have you ever taken this medicine?" Jayden guessed, when Apple said he knew what medicine he was taking.

"Hm," Apple replied in a mumble.

"What happened?" Jayden asked, he could feel that the dizziness that was hitting his head was starting to subside, but he felt a little sluggish after taking the drug, this was an effect he didn't like, especially since tonight they had something big going on.

"I don't know if my dad ever talked to you about my mom or not," Apple began.

"I can assure you that he never spoke of this to me." Jayden moved his body to find a comfortable position to continue this conversation. I don't know when was the last time he had a conversation like this. "I only found out about your existence when Pyro was injured."

"As expected," Apple muttered, nodding its head. He then looked at Jayden with eyes that looked calm and comfortable. "My father and mother never married, the truth is, I exist because of a mistake between the two of them."

"Oh, I didn't know Pyro had a wild side to women too, I thought he was the conservative type." Jayden then raised his hand when he saw Apple's gentle gaze turn fierce. "Continue."

"My mom was pregnant with me and dad knew about it, but because mom said she wanted me so dad only visited me once in a while, after all he spends a lot of time outside with your family." Apple remembers the incident very well, how his father would visit him very rarely.

Roughly speaking, Pyro gave his mother a lot of money to take care of Apple and also cover all expenses.

It could be said that the money that Pyro gave was more than enough to support Apple and its mother. He even bought a house big enough for the two of them.

"It's just that when I was nine, my mother met another guy and he started acting differently. He gambles and is almost always drunk."

Jayden listened patiently and imagined how Apple was feeling right now.

"That man hit you?" Jayden asked.

"Yes," Apple replied curtly, not wanting to go into detail about the incident.

The man beat him and his mother when he was not given money to gamble and buy drinks. And it happened for years.

Pyro didn't know because he rarely came to the house and no one told him about it.

"I met Kyle at the age of fifteen and was in a relationship with him for five years because he was the one who helped me when my mom's boyfriend started beating me," Apple said in a low voice.

"He sounds like a nice guy. Are you sure they are the same men I met not too long ago?" Jayden asked. "Maybe he fought too much to change his personality?"

Apple rolled his eyes. "Of course they're the same man."

However, one thing that Apple can draw conclusions from what has happened to him so far is; alcohol is always able to change a person's behavior.

"The last two years he's turned violent and behaves more like my mother's lover."

And after that, Jayden didn't need the full details of what happened until Apple needed the sedative.

So it's safe to say that Kyle was her savior, but also the one who gave Apple the second nightmare after her mother's lover.

While Pyro only took Apple when he was seventeen years old and separated himself from the mother and the man.

Of course the method that Pyro uses is not an inducement, but a threat, because they consider Apple as their source of income, where Pyro will only give money to his daughter.

"Then how about you?" asked Apple at the end of his short story, while it was raining harder and harder outside and the sky was getting darker, but they both seemed to be getting more comfortable with each other.

"Nothing specific happened to me." Jayden shrugged nonchalantly. "I was born rich, handsome and inherited the number one company in the country. Has a beautiful mother and older sister and a fierce and slightly ambitious father. I think I inherited this trait from my father." He thought for a moment. "Yes, I inherited that trait from my father." He confirmed.

Apple rolled its eyes dramatically when it heard Jayden's arrogant statement. "What happened when you were fifteen?"

They both knew what Apple meant about the incident.

There was silence surrounding the two of them, while outside thunder and lightning flashed against each other.

At first, Apple thought Jayden wouldn't say anything and would divert the topic, but after a while he started talking.

"They kept me in one of the cargo hold for sale." Jayden turned his attention away from Apple and stared at the wall. "Yeah, I almost fell victim to human trafficking carried out by that organization if it weren't for one of them realizing that I'm the son of the Tordoff family."

"They asked for a ransom instead?" asked Apple.

"Yeah, you can put it like that. They asked for a high nominal for it, "said Jayden. "But when they got the money, they didn't let me go."

Then Jayden turned his attention to Apple and smirked. "I think you know what happened after that.

Yes, Apple knows what's going on, he heard it from his dad. "You committed your first murder."

"You're right," he answered lightly.
