Porsche didn't know which was louder: the bass thrumming through the floorboards of the Hum Bar, or the pounding of his own blood in his ears.
He had the money. Two envelopes thick with crumpled baht, shoved into the inner pocket of his jacket. Enough for this month’s tuition. Enough for Porchay’s music lessons. Enough to keep the debt collectors from the family home for another thirty days.
One more drink, he told himself. One more lousy, overpriced vodka tonic for some lonely heir, and then he was done. He’d slip out the back, past the kitchen’s grease traps, and disappear into the Bangkok night like he always did.
He never made it to the back door.
The first sign was the silence. The DJ’s hands froze over the decks. The dancers on the podiums stumbled as the lights flickered, then snapped to a cold, clinical white.
The second sign was the men. Black suits. Black ties. Faces carved from stone. They moved through the crowd like sharks through minnows, parting the sea of drunk patrons without a single word.
Porsche’s hand drifted to the small of his back, where the handle of his switchblade rested against his spine. A stupid gesture against men carrying Glocks, but instinct was a hard thing to kill.
Then he saw him.
Kinn Theerapanyakul walked like gravity owed him a favor. He wasn't tall in an imposing way, nor was he broad. But there was a density to him, a compression of power that made the air in the room feel thicker. He wore a deep burgundy suit, no tie, the top two buttons of his shirt undone to reveal a sliver of collarbone and the faintest edge of a tattoo.
Porsche had seen rich men before. He’d served them drinks and laughed at their stupid jokes. But Kinn wasn't rich. He was wealth. Old wealth. The kind that didn't flash money—it simply owned everything the money touched.
Their eyes met.
Kinn’s gaze was bored, almost lazy. He looked through Porsche, not at him. Then, a ghost of a smirk. He tilted his head, a silent summons.
Every rational fiber in Porsche’s body screamed run. But his feet, traitorous things, moved forward.
“You’re the one they call Porsche,” Kinn said. His voice was soft. Deceptively so. Like velvet wrapped around a knife.
“Depends who’s asking.” Porsche flashed his best bartender smile—the one that said I don’t care, but I’ll pretend to for a tip.
Kinn chuckled, a low, dry sound. “The one who broke Nop’s nose last week for groping a waitress. The one who fought three of my men in the parking lot of the Sonnen Bar and walked away with a broken rib and their wallets.”
Porsche’s smile froze. His men.
“You see,” Kinn continued, stepping closer. Close enough that Porsche could smell his cologne—oud wood and something metallic, like clean blood. “I’ve been watching you. Not because you’re pretty, though you are. But because you’re useful.”
“I’m a bartender,” Porsche said flatly. “Not a soldier.”
“You’re a fighter. A survivor. You’ve got a brother to protect, a house to keep, and you’re two bad decisions away from selling that pretty little body to the highest bidder.” Kinn’s hand shot out and gripped Porsche’s wrist. Not hard. Just… firm. Proprietary. “I’m the highest bidder.”
Porsche jerked back, but Kinn’s grip was iron. For the first time, Porsche felt a flicker of genuine fear. Not of the gun. Not of the men. But of the way Kinn’s thumb was tracing slow circles over his pulse point, as if counting the beats. Kinnporsche Novel English
“Let go of me,” Porsche hissed.
“One year,” Kinn said, ignoring him. “You work for me. As my personal bodyguard. You eat what I eat, you sleep where I sleep. You take a bullet meant for me. In exchange, your brother’s tuition is paid. Your family’s debt is erased. And you get to keep your life.”
“And if I say no?”
Kinn finally released his wrist. He stepped back, adjusting his cufflink. “Then I walk out that door. And the men who wanted you dead after the parking lot incident? They’ll have no reason not to find you. Along with your little brother.”
Porsche’s blood turned to ice. Porchay.
He looked around the room. The black-suited men had formed a perimeter. The other patrons were on their knees, hands on their heads. This wasn’t a negotiation. It was a coronation.
“You’re a bastard,” Porsche whispered.
“I’m the devil you know,” Kinn replied. He extended a hand. “Do we have a deal, Mr. Pachara Kittisawat?”
Porsche stared at the offered hand. The palm was smooth, uncalloused. A prince’s hand. A killer’s hand.
He thought of Porchay’s smile. Of the damp walls of their childhood home. Of the debt that grew like mold. Porsche didn't know which was louder: the bass
He took the hand.
Kinn’s fingers closed around his, warm and final. And for the first time, Porsche saw Kinn’s mask crack—just a fraction. There was something hungry in those dark eyes. Something that had nothing to do with business.
“Welcome to the family,” Kinn said softly.
And Porsche knew, with a cold, sinking certainty, that he had just sold his soul for a gilded cage.
