After the door was pushed open, Alejandro entered his apartment. He just dropped Selena at the café and he decided to go back to his apartment.
His eyebrow creased as soon as he noticed his mother in his kitchen, preparing him a food.
'Mom,' he mumbled. He thought she was in China.
'When did you come back?' he asked.
His mother, Vilma Dane- turned to face him, their eyes were same, round and blank. While her face was so soft like a baby, no wrinkles or sign of aging. With her current face, no one would mistake her as Alejandro's mother.
Her lips – which seemed to have grown a bit due to fillers smiled. She walked towards her son.
'Alejandro,' she said cheerfully, hands stretched to give him a hug.
'I am glad you are back. I made your favorite. Let's eat,' she continued.
Alejandro obediently followed her, as he was about to sit down, the door of his bedroom opened. And it let out a woman wearing his clothes.
Shock has made his face wrinkled, he was about to get up when Killian appeared from his bedroom.
'Oh! Hi little brother. I hope you didn't mind that I use your bedroom,' Killian said with a smirk on his face.
'Killian! I didn't know you are here! And what's with the woman? Is that your girlfriend?' their mother exclaimed, surprised was on her face.
'What girlfriend? Her?' he said with a bitter expression pointing at the woman next to him.
'That's not my girlfriend,' then he suddenly laughed.
'Darling. I will call you ok?' Killian turned to the woman and smiled sweetly. He went into the bedroom and picked up her dress. When he came out, the girl was in the kitchen, talking to his mother.
He rolled his eyes and walked towards them. He took the woman's wrist and gently dragged her towards the door.
'Here's your dress and your pouch. We had fun last night Darling. So, wait for my call alright?' he said handing the dress to her.
The woman looked puzzled. When Killian opened the door and pushed her gently outside, her lips parted to ask, 'Wait! you don't have my number,' she said.
Killian – as he slowly closes the door smiled at her. 'Well, I guess I won't call you back. Don't worry I certainly had fun last night. Ciao!' saying that he rudely closed the door.
As he turned around to face his family, a pillow smacked on his face. It fell onto the ground. When he turned to the person that tossed the pillow at him, his lips pressed together.
It was her brother Alejandro, 'Don't bring your woman to my apartment, Killian. Bring it to your apartment!' he said firmly.
Killian gave him a lopsided grin, 'I would but I don't want them to know where to find me so while you are doing your little mission I was here, in your apartment enjoying and partying,' he said with a smirk.
Killian stood at the table, he grabbed an apple and took a bite.
'You know?' seeing his brother bewildered by his word, Killian chuckled.
'Oh! You, poor little brother. Father asked me first to get those whatever formula from the Su but, I said no, that's why he sent mum to asked you to do it. And I figured that since she's here, I guessed you got the book,' there was a judgment lurking in his eyes, disappointed with his brother.
'Killian stop it! You know very well that we need their formula for the vaccine. Do you know how much money we could make if we have the right formula?' his mother spoke as she set the bowl on the table.
'Alejandro was just trying to be a good son. He understands that we need this,' then, she patted Alejandro's head.
'Mom,' Alejandro said deeply.
'I did this because I want something in return,' the hand of his mother stroking his head suddenly stopped.
'What is it honey?' she asked.
'I want the father to stop meddling with my relationship to Selena. That's all. I did it so you can ask him that,' then he got up, looking so cold.
His mother became silent for a moment, then she took a long sigh.
'Alright. I will convince him, in the meantime. Tell me, what kind of information did you get?' his mother's eyes were shining with excitement as she said that.
'Mom,' Alejandro's voice was gravely serious as he called out her name.
'Yes, darling?'
'I saw some of the formulae but, I think we should not use it,' he met her eyes, seeing it slowly gloom with distress somehow stings him.
'Why?' she asked, the voice was shaking.
'Aside from the formula. I also read Daniella Chen's diary. And if what she had written there was true, we shouldn't use their formula,' he took in a deep sigh, when he looked at Killian, his brother had an expression different from his mother. There was not a bit surprised on Killian's face.
'Killian do you know what I am talking about?' his voice was unsteady as he speaks.
Killian sneered bitterly; his back leaned against the corner of the table as he continued eating his apple.
'Of course, brother! That's the reason why I said no to father. I might be a thief but, one thing I will never do is to steal from the devil,' he gave him a meaningful laugh.
Then, Killian turned to his mother. 'Mom. You and father will end up in the coffin if you don't stop this. If you don't believe me, ask your favorite son, I am pretty sure he got more information than the formula" saying that with a deceitful grin, Killian left the house.
Alejandro shut his eyes, he sat back and leaned his back against the chair.
His mother seated on the chair next to him, her hand stretches to grip his arm.
'Did you get anything?' she curiously asked.
Alejandro sighed, 'Mom, why are you doing this?' he asked.
'What do you mean why? I want our company to boost. So please son,' her eyes were pleading as she looked at him.
'Give me the information you have and, I will convince your father to leave you alone.'
He got up, the face was dimming with frustration.
'It's in my bag but, mom,' he took a step away from her.
'You and your husband are just the same but I love you mom that's why I did it. So, please don't let me betray Selena again, she's special to me.'
As he entered his bedroom, shocked filled his face. His whole room was filled with sex toys that it looked like a room of a pervert.
With his fists clenching with anger and annoyance, he muttered, 'Oh Killian, I am gonna kill you.'
