a lengthy and tedious complicated situation or matter

"Okay. Someone could explain it to me. What is happening?" Nora's voice was clearly heard in the silent car. "And where are we going'? Who are you? " The questioning look in Nora was adamant. Similar depression was adorned by Neil but he was too lazy to speak.
"He said Rosa was going to be married." said Rey who was sitting on the passenger seat. As soon as the words fell, the twins were so shocked that their eyes would have fallen, "What?" They said in unison.
"Miss Paristo and our master had a history. And now they have reconciled and the old feelings are rekindled. They wanted to tie the knot as soon as possible." Henry's eyes were curved.
Nora couldn't believe this. She looked at Henry suspiciously and then turned to Rey, "And you believe him? How could you be so gullible"
"He showed me proof and Rosa affirmed when I texted her."
"Why didn't you call her. And what was the proof? Where is it? I want to see it too." Nora didn't back down. So did Neil, sitting beside her and nodding, "And who was knocking in the door that time? Could you please be generous to answer without letting me waste my words?"
"Rosa wasn't picking up her phone so… She texted me She was doing overnight work. And when I asked her about it, She said it's okay to go with him. And Uncle Matthew was also there. He knew him. They are old friends. And he assured me that it was really safe for us to go with him. And I got your phone call at that time so… I didn't really process all the stuff. And the mysterious knock should be someone pranking on you. You should stop being so suspicious, Nono."

Current Timeline
'Why are they here?' The interior of the flower room was really extiquite. The room was quite big and decorated with lots of interior plants. The group of 6 people were sitting on the table at the centre of the room.
"How are you?" Rey asked Rosalind. It's been months since they have met. Though they always talked through the phone but, talking through the phone and having a face to face talk is really different. Rosalind was really happy to meet her siblings but she wasn't quite happy with the circumstances she was meeting with them.
"Um." Rosalind could only make a noise. Her gaze moved from her siblings to Henry and finally Wilson. Is it a trap? Did they also abducted her siblings?
"So you are getting married. Huh?" Nora questioned.
"Hmmm?" Rosalind's eyes widened. "How did you know?"
Hearing her question Nora's senses heightened.
"Did you not send me the text?" Rey asked.
"Which text?" she didn't even have a mobile phone now.
Rey took out phone from his pocket and saw the text, where it was written, 'I am getting married. I have sent someone to get you and the twins.' and the time was 11:45pm. After she was abducted.
'WTH?My siblings are also abducted along with me?' She took a long breath and shot a glare at Henry which he returned with a 'friendly' smile. 'Of course it should be the work of this old fox.'
"Uh, I forget it. Hehe~" Rosalind didn't want to tell her siblings about the psychotic letter of their psychotic ancestors. She had to fake it until she make it.
"They are staying with us from now on." Wilson finally spoke. Rosalind wideyed him.
"Bu… but they can't. They have school." Rosalind turned her head to Rey, Neil and Nora, "Don't you have school?"
"Winter vacation." Three said in unison.
"Jason, will show you your rooms." Wilson said, beckoning Jason.
"Your things will be delivered tomorrow. Have a health check up, and have a rest. It must have been a long day. Servants will notify you for food. If you need anything, just there will be a servant out…..." Jason's voice lost along with his and the trio's figure.
After the door closed, the silence grew louder between them.
"You didn't tell me they will be here?!" Rosalind was feeling numerous emotions at the moment. She was scared. She wasn't quite sure what she had involved herself into, now, her siblings too.
She was sure about one thing though, she liked Wilson, but maybe not enough to trust her only family she had been left with. They had met for how many days? It barely had been a day and she was trusting a stranger. She couldn't bear to make any mistakes at the stake of her siblings.
'Was it a bad idea?' Rosalind was reconsidering her decision to stay.
"If I've told you, it would not be a surprise." Wilson ignored her mocking tone. He was watching straight to the closed door. Rosalind didn't speak. Another silence filled up the space surrounding them.
"So, how about dinner at 8?" Wilson was now facing Rosalind. His eyes were as always burning every inch of her body.
"Either you are an obsessive psycho kidnapper or you are just an obsessive Psycho. Are you not getting the point?! I only agreed to have 4 dates with you. What are my siblings doing here?"
"They will be staying here from now on."
"Why? Oh now I understand, you thought If my siblings are here, you could control me. That's why right. If I still refused to marry you after all those dates, I would have no other choices."
"Maya listen to me."
"No!!! Why should I? I shouldn't have from the beginning. Hell!! WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO A PERSON WHO HAD KIDNAPPED…" The sentence couldn't get to be completed when Wilson pulled Rosalind and sealed her lips with his. His hands were winded up in her waist. It was just a peck on the lips but Rosalind was so flustered. But when she regained her consciousness.
"Pak~" the sound of the slap resound through the wall of the flower room.
