'Do you wanna run away Porsche?' asked Tay
'Huh?' Porsche looked stunned at the silver haired man.
'Do you wanna run away? It's not that you are getting married out of choice.'
'I can't Khun.'
'Please call me Tay or P'Tay. I am one of Kinn's oldest friends. So, I am also your friend from now.'
'Huh really? Why would you want to be my friend?'
'Because I like you. Oh, don't get me wrong. I do have a boyfriend. If I had a little brother, he could have been just like you. So, coming back to my earlier question, do you want to run away?' Porsche could detect the sincerity in his voice. He was quite surprised with these people, speaking from experience he could say rich people are snobs and usually treat people like him as shit. But here people are different. Every passing second Porsche is getting less scared.
'I can't Phi my family needs me. Right now, this is the best possible opportunity I have'
'You do realize something right after you are married you will be introduced to the world as Kinn's husband and first son-in-law of Theerapanyakun household. Even if by some miracle you manage to dodge the lime light and the 'perks' that follows, your life is going to be changed for ever. After one year you will be known as Kinn's divorcee. Even though financially you would do alright but socially it could be difficult.' Tay knows what he is doing he is Kinn's friend he wants the best for him but this boy didn't have to get into this mess.
Porsche gave a small laugh, 'P'Tay people like us don't have any social life. As long as I could care properly for my mother and put my brother through college, I don't need to worry about anything. As far as the stigma you are talking about being poor and not having proper education is stigma enough what could be worse. But thank you Phi for worrying.' Porsche smiled at Tay, the older man ruffled his hair and lead him to a room.
After a basic clean up and touch up Porsche glowed. Tay marvelled at his beauty.
'You are really something Porsche.'
'Huh' Porsche looked confused. The fact that he doesn't even realise how handsome he is, makes him more appealing. Tay stared at Porsche olive skin, chiselled face, prominent cheek bones, thin lips, Porsche smiled very little but that smile does something to the heart of the beholder and his eyes, anyone could be mesmerised by them. All signs of his tiredness, baggy eyes and dark circles were covered by Tay's beauty routine. Porsche looked stunning.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Tay and Porsche looked at each other.
'It's me boys.'
Tay opened the door. Mrs Rose Theerapanyakun walked in. 'Oh my, me!!! Porsche, you look amazing. My goodness. Wow! Are you the Porsche we just met.'
'Don't look at me. It's all him. I didn't even have to do one percent of this. He is a natural.' Tay commented while smiling.
Porsche blushed violently.
'Forget Kinn. He is going to be the centre of attention tonight.' Mrs. Rose looked so happy.
She sat beside Porsche and held his hand.
'Porsche, I know this is all but an act but still I would like to ask you something.' She looked expectantly at Porsche.
'Please Madam. You can ask for anything.'
'Porsche firstly you need to stop calling me Madam. Call me Aunt. This marriage is a farce but that doesn't mean we all have to put up a front. Porsche, always remember you are like a son to me. As long as you are here and even after that you can always come to me. I will always be there for you.'

Porsche and Tay both looked stunned at Mrs. Rose's revelation.
She smiled at Porsche and asked 'Porsche would you give me the honour of walking you down the aisle.'
Porsche's eyes glistened; Mrs. Rose was already at the verge of tears. Tay wiped his eyes and said 'Now, now no crying here you are going to ruin the eye make-up.' They all laughed and Porsche nodded his head to Mrs. Rose who immediately hugged him.
An hour later Porsche was sitting on the edge of the sofa reading a dossier about Theerapanyakun family, Kinn's details and his & Kinn's back story that he was supposed to tell the press if asked. There was a lot to remember but remembering details was never a problem for Porsche but facing so many people was. Tay came back 'Porsche are you ready. It's almost time.'
Porsche's heart beat fastened. It's all an act he knows very well. But everything is so overwhelming that he was feeling restless. Porsche wanted to know why did they choose him. He was supposed to be Khun Tankhun's studio assistant now he was going to be someone's husband, someone who he had literary spoken three words with.
'P'Tay can you please tell me what happened why is Mr. Kinn in such a hurry to get married that he does not even care who he gets married to.'
Tay sighed, 'Well I guess you deserve to know. That story starts with Kinn's grandfather, who was the real reason how Theerapanyakuns could be what they are today. You know three generations ago Theerapanyakuns used to be the most dreaded mafia of the East Asian subcontinent even the Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza and Russian Mob feared and respected them. It was Kinn's grandfather who first legitimized the family business and brought it to new heights. However even today these gangs do not dare cross them.'
Porsche looked at Tay with wide eyes as he continued, 'Kinn's forefathers made a rule....... .... So, when Tawan betrayed him at these last moments, he didn't have an option but marry the first person he gets to save his company and the lives and family of his people.'
Porsche listened in awe about the man's principle and dedication towards his job and responsibilities. He was fighting for his family and Kinn, who knows for how many families is he fighting for. He didn't even have the luxury to process his grief and the betrayal he faced. He felt really bad for Kinn, he could visualize how difficult it must have been. Porsche was lost in his thoughts when Aunt Rose walked in with Pete.
Porsche stood up. Pete smiled at Porsche and said 'I have taken care of everything. Just that Porsche I haven't told your family anything. All I told your brother is that you wouldn't be coming home tonight.'
'Thank you. It's okay Phi, I will tell them myself.'
Mrs Rose said 'Porsche, you know you have to lie to your family too. Did you think about how you are going to break the story to them.'
Porsche looked down and shook his head. He seriously has no idea what he would tell his family. He surely can't tell them the truth.
'It's ok Porsche we will come up with a narrative for your family too' assured Pete 'Oh two body guards will be posted outside your house at all times. Don't worry your family won't even know that they are there. They won't intervene unless absolutely necessary.'
Porsche nodded. It seems like there isn't much he can do.
Pete handed him a file. 'Porsche this is your contract. Read it and sign.'
'It's okay. I will sign.'
'No please read I insist. If there is anything else you can add it.'
'No. No you are already giving me so much. I couldn't have earned this much ever in my life. I will be eternally grateful.'
'Still give it a read.'
'Okay.'
Porsche just flipped through it and signed. He felt like he was about to cry. He wanted to get over this and go home. But he knows this isn't gonna happen.
Aunt Rose said 'It's time Porsche.'
Porsche literally froze this time. Aunt Rose could sense the young guy's fear. She hugged him in a warm embrace and patted his head. Porsche was shivering a little. She tried to comfort him. Vegas walked in. He was stunned to see his mother comforting the guy but he decided not to say anything.
'Kinn sent me to get him.'
'It okay, you can leave. Go do your best man duties. I will walk him.' Aunt Rose said
'Okay mom.' Vegas stared at his mom for a few more seconds and left.
Aunt Rose turned to Porsche, 'Let's go son.' She held his hand and led him away.
Everything was like a blur to Porsche. The venue was decorated with crystals and fake snowflakes. There were fairy lights in shape of floating candles and white willow trees on both sides of the aisle. The place was huge and magnificently decorated. There were about more than two hundred guests. Kinn was dressed in a black tuxedo and Porsche walked in a white suit. But nothing seemed to be registering in Porsche's mind. Aunt Rose led Porsche up to the dais and gave his hand to Kinn. Kinn held his hand and Porsche stepped up. Kinn was smiling he bend forward and whispered 'Smile Porsche. You are supposed to be excited.'
Porsche imagined hard about the happy thoughts where his mother was doing well again and Chay was attending university. Porsche smiled his eyes moistened up but that could easily be masked as happy tears.
The officiant started the vows 'Do you Mr. Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun, take Mr Porsche Pachara Kittisawasd to be your lawfully wedded husband...'
'I do.'
'Do you Mr. Porsche Pachara Kittisawasd, take Mr Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakun to be your lawfully wedded husband...'
'I do.'
'With the power vested in me I proclaim you husbands. Wish you both a wonderful future. Now you may kiss.'
Kinn and Porsche looked at each other. Porsche's smile quivered a bit, Kinn bent forward and held Porsche's face and bought his lips near to the younger one's face and landed a peck on the side of his lips away from the onlooking crowd placing a finger between them. Porsche had closed his eyes much in fear, however strangely enough Kinn felt his heart starting to pound crazily something that even stunned Kinn himself. Porsche opened his eyes he saw Kinn staring at him deeply, his eyes betrayed feelings of hurt, sadness, pain, loneliness and longing. But it was all for just a moment. After that it was gone replaced by the emotionless gaze that Kinn carried however the coldness was gone. They both looked away Kinn smiled and waved at the crowd and Porsche followed suit. The crowd erupted in cheers.
