Hugo heard it all. He followed his parents toward their room when they left.
His heart was racing. He didn't know that his mother had gone to his room earlier while he was away. He thought that she was just mad at him for staying out without informing them.
'What should I do now?' He asked himself.
Shaking his head. He firmly stood for what he wanted. 'I have already come through this far to get chickened out. I can't just back down because of my family.' His jaw clenched as he took a step backward.
'I am so sorry, but I have no will to tell you guys everything.' Tilting his head to the side, he went back to the dining table to check if his sister was done eating.
"Go to the room already, Hailey. I'm sure mother and father would want to see you." He uttered.
Hailey couldn't help but nod her head, even though she wanted to ask his brother more about how Rix's owner found him. But she heard the coldness in his voice.
It was unknowingly unfamiliar to her.
Hugo took a deep sigh. He was left alone on the table. He stared at their family portrait that was hanging on the wall near his door.
'I don't have plans to come back to the university. I think it's time for me to take a different route,' He uttered to himself.
Hugo sighed. He washed all the messy dishes that they used before drying them out and putting them inside the cabinet.
He went back to his bedroom afterward. He gathered all of his things on one side and placed all of his money together on the other.
He started to count them all, one by one.
He didn't know how long did it take him to finish counting all of his money.
But totaling it up, he has 1, 203,000 dollars.
He took out two stacks of money and placed them on the floor. Each stack has at least 50,000 dollars in them. He plans to give this to his parents while the remaining 3000 dollars to his sister.
He stayed up all night, trying to figure things out. But in the end, he chooses a decision that he knew would change his life.
Hugo packed the things that he needed in a black bag. He, in total, has three bags. The biggest one was for his money. The second was the things that Hendrix had left and the last one was his things.
Maybe it's finally his time to be independent and live his life alone.
Knowing that his parents would be worried, he prepared a long ass letter for them. Even though they will be mad at his decision, he knew that they would understand him in the end.
A person who was too many weaknesses will just be vulnerable to someone's eyes.
He can't get them involved in the battle that he had joined. He could defend himself, but his family can't.
They were defenseless and weak if compared to his enemies.
The sun quickly rose to the sky.
*Knock *Knock *Knock
Even though he was still sleepy from staying up late, Hugo woke up to open the door.
Hailey's face greeted him early in the morning. She was frowning as she looked at his brother who just woken up.
"Mother said that you will bring me to school today!" She exclaimed. "It's already 9 and we need to leave in 20 minutes. Why are you still sleeping, brother?" She glared at him.
Hugo chuckled as he looked at the time. "All right, I will just change my clothes. Did you eat already?"
Hailey shook her head. "I wake you up because it's boring to eat alone." She pouted.
"Alright. Just give me a few minutes. Go to the dining table already." He reminded his sister before going back inside his room.
He changed his clothes into a decent ones before he went outside to join his sister in eating.
The two of them shared a meal. They were laughing together as Hugo made chocolate milk for Hailey.
"Go finish this up so we can go already." He informed her when he saw that it was 5 minutes before 9 15.
"Yes, brother." Hailey puffed her cheeks. She was full already, but her brother just keep on feeding her food!
But she, of course, couldn't decline them since it was food.
"I will just get something in my room, alright? Wait for me here." Hugo uttered.
"Alright,"
Hugo went back to his room in a hurry. He took out the stack of cash that he had placed in his bed before he left and went directly to his parent's room. He chuckled as he looks around.
His sister's dolls and stuffed toys were all over the place.
'I will miss this view,' he unconsciously uttered to himself.
Letting go of the family that he had cherished for all of his life was difficult. But if he had to do it to be successful with his plans, then he would be more than willing to sacrifice his own happiness for him.
"I will miss everyone,"
Hugo whispered in the air. He closed his eyes as a tear fell to his cheeks.
Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and looked at the money in his hands. He placed them down on his parent's beds, placing the letter beside it.
'I hope you don't look for me… I will be safe, I promise you. I want to let you know that I love you all and that I am doing this for everyone.'

Author's Note – I didn't even know that 4 months had already passed since I started this story. Truthfully, I just started this story as a way to challenge myself if I could really write ML novels.
Surprisingly, it went well than I expected. I couldn't help but say my gratitude to all of you guys. Because of that, I will be dropping a bro code for all of us. I hope that you may use this wisely in the future.
Bro code rule 213: While kissing men is considered gay, kissing the homies goodnight should be done every day
