Enemy’s Son

"Oh... are you afraid of a little alcohol?"

Reven mocked him but Ethan tensed his face with anger, he gave him a fake laugh at his tasteless joke, and a vein was visible on his temple from the anger, he wasn't very good at handling alcohol no matter how many times he practiced he had a very low tolerance that's why he didn't usually drink with strangers but now Ethan had to do it... Because he is a very stubborn and prideful guy...

…

"God if you were that bad at drinking you just had to say it…"

Reven was carrying Ethan in his arms, he got completely drunk with only two glasses of wine. Ethan's calm and elegant personality had gone to waste after the first glass, Reven was having fun when he looked at the so dignified pure-blood prince.

But when Ethan passed out on the table Reven worried a little, he had to move him without drawing the attention of the guests, Reven sighed tired, and took him like a princess, he covered him with his cloak to hide him from the curious eyes, when he reached the entrance of the kitchen he asks for help from of a maid and she gave him the direction to Ethan's room.

Reven managed to get to his room without anyone knowing he was there, he deposited the opposite in his bed but when he did that Ethan's soft and sensual voice was whispering in his hear.

"What a gentleman..."

His voice sent a shiver down Reven's spine as he felt that whisper in his ear.

"Your highness… I thought you had already fallen asleep"

"Why?" he asked frowning his eyebrows

"Because you passed out a few minutes ago"

"Hahaha No Silly... What I wanted to ask was why don't you feel desire towards me?"

"What?" Reven was surprised by the other's words

They glare at each other for a long time, until Reven smile at him and answers that curious question.

"Why do you think I don't desire you?"

"I noticed it in people… but you... Are like an empty piece of paper"

Ethan rubbed one of his legs against the Reven's hip, he swallowed a bit of saliva, and his eyes glowed bright red at the image of the other looking so tempted, seeing the opponent under his body began to like him...

Reven approached him until their lips touched each other, it was for a brief moment, but with only that Ethan was astonished. When they finally kiss the energy of desire from him filled his entire body in only that small kiss, who the hell was that boy? Ethan had never felt the same before.

"You look better now"

"That's because If I don't think about him I’ll have a little fun, you understand?"

"Jajajaja that is not a good way to ease your pain"

Ethan frowned his eyebrow again, what the hell did he know? He sits straight on the bed and pushes him a little.

"If you are going to act like a mom, get out"

"What? Hahaha you are pretty funny"

Reven looks into his sad eyes and feels a little guilty, he lies down on the other side of the bed and pulls him on his body, hugging him.

"What the HELL do you think you are doing?" Ethan shouted at him with a big blush on his cheeks

"Comforting you" Reven answer him with a smile.

Ethan couldn't believe he was there in his room with his enemy's son hugging him. He didn't know what to say but it seems Reven understand him and speak again.

"How was your grandfather?"

"Didn't you know him?"

"Not really, my father never brings me to a meeting with him before"

"How strange..."

Ethan sighed before he started to talk again...

"To the world my grandfather Daemon was an important businessman, a billionaire CEO who ran many businesses here and there, and I am the lucky missed grandson. He was very handsome and... Strong... Like the ice... He created this facade so that no one would get into his illegal business, because the great Daemon Rumsfeld was not only the strongest vampire that had ever existed, but he was also the most feared man in the whole world."

"I heard something like that, he was a very cold person, wasn't he?"

"You don't know anything... It wasn't his fault... My grandfather had a reason why he was cruel"

When Ethan was drunk he became more and more talkative but he also had certain control of his mind and body. He made a pause before continuing with his grandfather's story.

Starting with his parents...

Daemon was the last son between Seth and Sora, the first vampires that were born in the world, they were known as the antediluvians. The most powerful and old vampires.

Seth was the creator of the Rumsfeld family, he never needed to resort to illicit business because he was born with a golden spoon and used that power to create an isolated place for those like him, thanks to Seth, Ethan could live in that castle now; however, as time passed and the world changed with all the technology and innovations progress, they have to change too.

Daemon at first was just a normal entrepreneur, he liked the wine so he had the best vineyards to sell and distribute the all over the world, he would never have thought of anything illegal until his husband Zest had been kidnapped by a bunch of criminals who asked him money for the life of his couple.

Daemon wanted to destroy them but if they were able to capture Zest they were not human, he followed every indication they ask him for until they returned his husband to him; However, as soon as he had Zest in his arms, he died of poisoning. Apparently they had been given him a very small and diluted dose of Dusha's poison to delay his effect until he slowly died.

Zest with his last breath asked him not to seek revenge, but Daemon with the anger inside him and the pain of losing his soulmate, his only love, it was inevitable that he would become an erratic true villain.

In a matter of days, he found the bastards who had taken his partner away from him but to do that he had to move under the public eye, mess with dangerous people, contact with the Bratva, the Yakuza, the Chinese triad, whoever that will help him find those bastards until he succeeded.

He didn't ask if any of them had a family or who had sent them, furious and blinded by the pain he murdered everyone in the blink of an eye, he feel very empty when he succeed in his revenge, and some days after that little incident, he received a call from some leaders who had heard that he had asked for some "favors" to find those guys, many saw him as someone with great potential to be a great leader and they offered him to join the mafia just as if they chose to join a social club.

Daemon despite wanting to refuse because he had only done that massacre for the death of his husband, the fear inside his heart made him worried about the rest of his family, he had four beautiful children whom he had to take care of, even though they were already teenagers and quite strong but his husband had always been quite strong and yet they could capture him...

The idea that someone would try to do the same to his children consumed him, he accepted the proposal and began to do business with them, although intelligently. He continued with his business in wines and had expanded into other areas to generate more money, but within those packages that he sent, there were some surprises.

Erratic Daemon began to kidnap and transform humans here and there into vampires, he took away their memory to make them a false identity, he made them believe that they had been always vampires under his command, he erased everyone's records and they were living like ghosts in the world.

He created a small army that was loyal to him, he trained, educated and sent them all over the world, to different places to be his eyes and ears, and In less than a year he had a vast information network, much larger than any CIA or FBI system.

He soon gained a reputation and landed a meeting with every mafia leader in the world, and the leader of leaders himself recognized his talent for operating and moving both merchandise and assassination jobs.

Daemon became someone untouchable, and thanks to that his family was safe, his children grew up, got married and formed their own families. Although when they found out he wasn't more a simple business man, not all of his children agreed.

His eldest son Luka totally opposed his actions, he told him that he was only taking refuge in the pain of losing his mother, Daemon already knew that but hearing it from his first son was a painful blow, they argued strongly, and after that Luka took his wife and son away from Rumsfeld Castle.

Daemon wanted to fix things but when he looked for them it was already too late, he couldn't find them anywhere, fear grew in the vampire exhausting every possible resource finding only a car with the belongings of his children and grandson.

The rest of his children Eliot and Ivy decided to stay with him after all they understood their father's fear, they saw the other side of the coin, the pain that their father had to bear when losing his life partner of many years was not easy, they also understood why their father had gone out of his way to take care of them, even if he had to get his hands dirty.

Daemon's heart turned suspicious of his own people but having Eliot and Ivy close to him gave him some happiness. When his children got married, he knew that they should separate even a little, let them have their space, their home. He ordered to build a castle in a safe place that only he knew and of course some servants closest to him.

The great Rumsfeld castle soon became lonely and silent, the portraits of his family were the only ones that accompanied the life of the great leader... until he heard the news that he would be a grandfather once again the emotion filled him and bright his life, he knew that his children wouldn't live with him. But without thinking, he bought everything and furnished a whole playroom on his own to be able to take care of his grandson or granddaughter sometimes.

However… his life took away the only remnant of his dear husband.

While he was in a meeting with some leaders, the news that someone was attacking his children's castle came to him like a strong punch, he ran out to where his children live, remembering the incident with his husband every second.

The fear in his heart for losing him grew and grew even more... unfortunately, his bad feeling became real… when he arrived at the place Eliot and Ivy were already dying and Daemon could do nothing but watch them leave him... he began to cry when he heard both of them thanking him for the life he gave them as they smiled with love to his father.

…

If Ethan who was a baby at the time didn't started to cry, his grandfather would have surrendered to life, turned his back on everything and disappeared into thin air...

Daemon found the baby behind a portrait of his children and when he saw him, Daemon swore to protect his grandson better than his children, he took him and leave that castle without looking the blood in all the place.

His life wasn't so great as he was seen, and that's was the reason why Daemon wasn't so affectionate anymore, his heart had frozen because he was afraid of breaking it again; of course, as the years went by Ethan melted his grandfather's heart, Daemon remembered his children as babies and when he played with them and inevitably he ended up being a father to his grandson.

His heart softened when they were together but Daemon never revealed to anyone that his grandson was still alive. He knew very well that someone out there would do anything to kill Ethan, during a lot of years only he and Ethan lived alone in the great castle, and only when he was completely sure who he was safe, he began to include personnel but he chose people with some weaknesses, such as someone important or a family member because he needed insurance to prevent someone from betraying him again.

"And that's... The story"

"Wow he really has a difficult life"

"Yes... That's true"

Ethan looks at Reven with a little confused expression, talking about his grandfather makes him angry because the pain began to stink his heart.

He sits down on Reven's lap looking at him with intensity.

"Help me... To forget everything tonight"

Ethan says that seducing him, Reven swallows some saliva looking at how the dress Ethan was wearing starts to slide from one of his shoulders.

"Holly... Sh"

The romantic and seductive environment was cut out in seconds thanks to Ethan...

Flashback End

"Yes I was, sorry to keep you waiting, did you need anything, young master Becket?"

Ethan tried to be as cold as possible, but the memories of his grandfather's funeral still came to him and hit his face, it was quite annoying to have to talk to him after what had happened between them.

"So cold… and Right after you took advantage of me last night…"

"Don't talk nonsense, people will misunderstand you"

"But you took advantage of me Ethan"

"I DID NO SUCH THING!"

"The Armani suit where you puke says otherwise thought…"

Ethan turned red at those words completely embarrassed.

"Ugh... just tell me, what the hell do you want, young master Becket?"

"To the point eh... well here we go... Are you free today?"

"For what?"

"For a date, I'm going to see you at the entrance of the Bellamy theater, in thirty minutes, don't be late"

Ethan stayed static in his place hearing how the other hang up the call just like that... Who does he think he was to order him around?

Ethan sighed angrily, he didn't understand what was the other planning by asking him to go... On a date? although he felt guilty for ruining his suit he didn't want to see him again... Well in fact he wasn't supposed to see him in the first place even if Reven kissed like the damn gods...
