....(still) Aleeza's Pov:
" Who's the other person you mentioned? the friend that was included in the Will if you don't mind my curiosity?" I asked,
" That friend has been hired actually as Master's Alec-Zander's lawyer but he was Also supervising master Alec's position and making sure he gets his profit share of the company's stock until of course master reaches his legal age and is considered a part of the company....This friend would be Miss Alecia's Fiance ...Rain Fang!" Victor explained furthermore
[ Rain Fang? Wow cool name, but why is it familiar?] I thought
"Oh I see then... again I'm sorry for being nosey but could it be that the current family conflict war between you guys and Mr Rodrigo has something to do with Alecia's Death" I quickly asked as my mind couldn't help but come to this scary conclusion, u watch enough true crime shows to know such a thing could happen,
A father having a hand in killing their own kid sounds very unlikely to the normal minds, but as a victim of parental abuse myself and as a crime junkie too I know that you can trust no one truly, the rule is ...you never truly know anyone or what a human being is capable of doing,
"I am impressed Miss Aleeza you quickly came to the correct assumption!" Victor words came as a confirmation for my feared conclusion, so Alec's father could be very much a ruthless killer who isn't afraid of burying down his own children and I have just agreed mindlessly to come to his whatever the hell is about ceremony....[Ah great Aleeza that's how ppl get wrapped up in sh!t]
"Regretting your decision to accompany Master... Miss Aleeza?" Victor asked checking on me,
"She's within every godly given right entitled to do so...I have to admit it was reckless of me to drag you into this without telling you the whole story beforehand and this isn't even the full story yet Aleeza but the thing is at the Time I decided to actually attend this Party ceremony gathering whatever... you seems a much more reasonable option to bring instead of Alex...I thought that maybe just maybe this would prevent any drama so please forgive me" Alec quickly interrupted explaining to me,
"there's nothing to apologize about Alec-Zander I choose to tag along and now I can see Why you choose me... Alex's weakness is her hot temper...what do you know haha turned out all of us seem to have daddy issues of some sort....my father as well is a piece of garbage" I replied gaining a stare of confusion from the two boys,
"Well your father is a potential murder if that's not already have been proven, mine is a horrible sexist abusive one that wants to marry me off to my cousin and Alex's real father is missing out of her life equation" I continued on
" You're aware that Leith isn't her biological father?" Alec asked me
"your response tell me you're also aware of that Alec " I replied to him " I knew the Leith married Miss Leah to help raising Alex ....well I happened to find out by myself long time ago...Alex however has always told me she knew he wasn't her real father but she loved Leith nonetheless and to be fair Leith is a very good parental figure...I was really jealous of Alex for having his support and Love despite their differences" I added
Alec smiled gently towards me "Well after this party ends Alex and Myself will have to sit down with you and have a trio talk...we will share whatever we can of our lives stories to you Aleeza which I hope you do the same Aleeza... I hate to keep you in the dark if you honestly want to be my friend ... also for the general record Alex and I happened to see you scream your guts out in the parking lot of the dance studio yesterday" he explained
My face was heated up....I didn't know he saw that too, was that the reason why he helped me so much at that time?
I nodded and turned my face back to face victor who had a look of concern on his naturally pale face,
I found myself smiling at him assuring him I was fine as I said " I didn't get a chance to get my revenge on my own father and I am aiming for it someday...i always believed in karma but sometimes you need to push things a little further to see the results you've been waiting for for so long... actually I have to admit I might look like the perfect Angel on the outside but I'm a fallen one.... I'll tickle Rodrigo's ego Tonight with my black feathers till I see his mask slip in front of me...I want to look into that human Satan's eyes tonight and challenge him" I said chuckling maliciously to myself, I bet I spooked the boys
"well bravo Alec-Zander *yawning* you have awaken a sleeping devil! " Alex said waking up from her short nap, " Oh sorry were we too loud miss Alexis?" Victor said in an apologizing manner,
" very funny vic I'm not talking about myself!" Alexis said which confused the boys even more as I couldn't help but the let a laugh escape me,
" She's talking about me gentlemen....why do you think she calls me Azazel for?Haha!" I replied giving away my attention to the car window near me,
As I heard victor softly whispers "interesting"
... Alex's pov :
I woke up to Aleeza's declaration of war, it's been a while since I've seen Azazel into action...when we were kids she was always nicknamed the Sweet cinnamon roll and Angel often by adults and teachers, her smile is enough to bring happiness to the most devastated beyond repair hearts well except her family of course,
Aleeza since she was a kid has a dark side that did the bad deeds for her, I call that side Azazel...her demonic side, she becomes this smart but dark conspirator who will stop at nothing to destroy her enemies, a side I assume she obtained from the abuse she went through in her household, the bullies never approached us when we were together because we were a force to reckon with yet after we got separated I guess she because an easier target for bullies,
I Know one thing though, if Azazel is in action, nothing is impossible to achieve for Aleeza,
I missed that side of her, I can only imagine now that we're adults what she can do,
"You wait till this Azazel makes an appearance at the party... you'll be even more afraid of her than of me" I whispered to myself but enough for Alec who was still leaned beside me to hear it, I think I felt him shiver a little
"Ah speaking of the devil, Victor you know you are here as my plus one which means you have to match up my energy I don't want to pick a fight again...our relationship is getting pretty toxic lately" I stated while fixing myself in my seat, I was still a bit sleepy but I had to fix my posture and makeup...heck even my skirt slipped off a bit,
" I refuse... whatever you mean with 'matching up' your energy! and for your information you're the one always picking a fight!" Victor's reply came as quick as thunder, Damn this dude hates my guts
" Hey we're playing on the same team Bruh! Alec told you you're supposed to loosen up a little and enjoy yourself! all you have to do my Guy is to freaking smile a bit more...hold my arm and act as if you're having a good time with me...simple! we wanna show Rodrigo he isn't getting the best of us!" I replied back quickly in a less violent tone than him
But still enough assertive to show him that he ain't gonna wiggle his nine tails out of it,
[ I'm sick and tired of Victor treating me like a nuisance in his life when I worry about him]
He sighted " you're bad news Miss Alexis with absolute no disrespectful intentions... I would very much like it if you and I switch partners I'm pretty sure Master Alec-Zander would love having you by his side" said a very not-into-it Victor,
Alec sighted as well " last minute changes are kind of my signature move but we have to ask Aleeza if she's okay with it " Alec replied looking at me and Aleeza for a word of confirmation,
"I'm okay with whatever you guys decide" Aleeza gave her answer right away
I never understood why Victor treats me like he hated me despite the fact that we both agree on looking after Alec-Zander yet I couldn't help but feel like I should cut him some slack "Fiiiiiiine... ugh I was gonna come for Alec anyways!! " I replied as well,
I could see a wave of relief wash over Victor's pale face "thank you miss Alexis I appreciate it" he simply said which was it for me
i don't know what happened, I just snapped!
"DAMN IT VICTOR ZAIN ZOMIERSkI !!" I screamed at Victor in frustration,
"Aye you're okay??" Alec asked me startled by my outburst,
"I'm F***ING fine I'm FINE!! I'm just very happy at the progress I'm doing with my relationships! especially with the very receptive Victor!" I said muffling whatever left of scream I had in my throat,
"I apologize for the inconveniences Miss Alexis... I hope you don't believe that I hate you by any chance" Victor spoke once again in his formal tone and it was all it took for me to burst once more,
" LISTEN YOU IDIOT! it's been what now? four years since I've been a goddamn part of ALEC-ZANDER'S F***ING LIFE and yet you still treat me like I'm some sort of an unwanted pet he takes whatever he goes or something.....I didn't do anything wrong that I know of but being myself and you never point out specifically what annoys you about me but Right now you keep acting like I'm the worst person to ever go with to a party...YET there you go acting all cute and friendly with ALEEZA! ...UGh WHATEVER FORGET IT!! I AM WELL AWARE I'M BEING AN ASS EIGHT NOW!!" I screamed the last words, I failed at keeping my cool, I might be loosing My mind but I don't want to hurt anyone,
My make-up bag fell to my feet and it's content spilled out, I did my best to grab everything before anyone tries to help me
.....Victor's pov :
"Miss Alexis you have the Wrong Idea i-!!" I tried defending my situation but Miss Alexis jumped back to conclusions and she was again shouting mocking me
"Oh stop it with the...Miss Alexis thing!! *mocking* oh Miss Alexis!...Master Alec-Zander...Miss Aleeza... you're killing me with your Manners And I don't want to disappoint Alec anymore with my behavior so let's just end this OKAY! in the end it seems like I'm the bad guy here judging from your faces!" her words were firm and clear with the intention of no longer continuing the conversation, so I didn't reply any further
Master Alec-Zander was eyeing me with a mix of sympathy and disappointment in his eyes, I didn't understand whether he's trying to apologize for Miss Alexis or want me to apologize to her
while Miss Aleeza was looking rather shocked, she gave me a painful sympathetic look as well and a smile as she turned her face away staring at her hands... [it's been a while since I felt this miserable] I thought
I tried focusing on fixing my tuxedo and gloves that were already in perfect shape,
[I am sorry for not knowing how to express myself... I don't know what to do when it comes to Alexis ]
....time skip.....still Victor's pov
When the vehicle had stopped, I felt the usual urge to rush and Open the door as I usually do but Master Alec ushered me to sit still and I complied immediately,
Videl who has been driving today in my place, came over and opened the door for all of us to come out,
Master and I stepped out first then landed our hands to the ladies, Miss Aleeza place her hand within mine and stood outside, as I looked to my side I saw Miss Alexis whom already cooled off, fixing Master's outfit
they somehow resembled a young couple more instead of friends, They have always been comfortable and honest around each others,
I'm well aware that the two have absolutely no romantic interest in one another especially Alexis and they would get mad when people mentioned how good looking they are together but for some reason I can't help but agree with those people,
If anything, master needs a strong headed partner like Alexis to help him stand his ground, maybe not a wife or a lover but Alex as his friend provide more than enough of support to him,
Romance isn't always an option and love isn't everyone's calling,
summoning my courage I decided to talk to Miss Alexis "Alex!" I quietly called her name as we walked to the ceremony's entrance,
"Well guess who learned how to say my name without the 'miss' thing!" she sarcastically replied,
I took a deep breath leaning slightly to her ears, her being a tall person made it easy, i whispered close to her ears "I'm sorry Alexis...I'm just jealous of you please forgive me" pushing those words out of my throat somehow hurts harder than any wound I sustained in my life,
I saw her eyes widening a bit as I gave her one last glance before entering the ceremony hall with Miss Aleeza's arms wrapped around mine,
[You don't have any idea how special you are Alex if you can just see behind the cloud of anger covering your head]
....(Alec-Zander) Alec's pov:
I saw Victor whispering something into Alex's ear, I couldn't make out what it was as I was busy trying to register our arrival which again... social interactions are my weakness,
it seems like the party was family oriented since Alot of the guests came with a family member,
After finishing what I was doing I found Alex was still waiting for me to go inside " Alex why didn't you go inside yet? did you wait for me" I asked her, she looked like she had finally cooled off,
She smiled at my question " and leave my date behind...no soldier is left behind in my Army" she replied "Speaking of Army your 'ARMY' tattoo why is it covered in make-up" I asked,
Alex has an 'ARMY' tattoo on both of her arms, that tattoo representing her never ending love to a kpop band we've been listening to for the past few years,
"I covered it around the time we agreed for me to be Victor's date instead of you... Victor seems to hate tattoos for some reason so I thought I should cut him some slack but it doesn't matter now since the plan has changed anyways... lesson learned never change for somebody haha" she replied looking rather sad than disappointed
[I need to have a word with him about this! I have to fix this misunderstanding between Alex and Victor] I thought
" Listen I doubt it...Highly that Victor hates you... He's just not into energetic ppl you know he's 24 but his soul is like 74 and he's always been this way...don't be mad at gim" I said to her,
" I'm tired of fighting with him...ugh nevermind he's free to love or hate whomever he wants I was just hoping we can get along a bit because I Know I can trust the guy with my life" Alex replied to me frowning a bit,
Her answer came in a clear tone just like previously in the car, that she doesn't want to continue the conversation, so I simply smiled as a sign of defeat,
opening my arm and allowing her to wrap her's around it, we continued waking side by side to the main hall where the ceremony is being held by my pure excuse of a Father
.....slight time skip....few minutes later.....
Still Alec's pov:
It started out peacefully, father was nowhere to be seen at first and it gave the the four of us Victor Aleeza and Alex and of course myself a bit of relief, we were able to have a good chat with each others,
Alexis and I were getting greeted by some if the upper class guest and some well known sophisticated members of the society that I don't even know their names and I couldn't care less,
Cake was brought in, the chatter grew louder and the music meanwhile was playing and some people were even dancing, including Victor whom as soon as the music started playing he offered his hand to Aleeza and the two were swinging across the dance floor with other dancing couples,
it was rather strange, too strange, there were even kids running around and it just felt like joy was spreading in air, my father never organized any sort of party like this before, or so I was told since I refuse every single time to attend any one of his ceremonies parties whatever he calls them,
since Alex and I decided not to dance, we stood near the open buffet and some guests kept trying to strike a conversation with me, they were trying to kiss my ass and it was too annoying when everyone assumed Alexis was my girlfriend, some even asked if we were engaged,
thankfully Alexis being a veteran Extrovert and a well spokeswoman managed to lead the conversation away from any uncomfortable subject,
I was surprised to see her work her magic by charming everyone with her social skills, you wouldn't believe she had a mental breakdown in the car earlier, meanwhile
Victor and Aleeza were still enjoying the music and each others company, I lived enough to see Victor leaning with Joy talking to another human, [ he's dancing for God's sake!]
"check out the vibe *pointing at Victor and Aleeza* their chemistry is really strong! look how happy they are! swinging from side to side? do you think Victor is gonna say yes to dating her?" I asked Alexis who was now free from the other guests with a suspicious drink in her hand
" damn would you look at THAT!! Romance! ugh I'm happy for them anyway!" Alex said stuttered a bit
" is this alcohol?! Alexis omg who the hell handed you this!!" I yelled snatching the drink from her hand, if ma'am Leah knew about this, she's going to kill me for letting her daughter get drunk in my father's party
" oh Come on I only drank like five of em!" Alex whined trying to get her drink back
" forget it Alex you're still underage for drinking I am not allowing you to drink one more sip over my dead body!" I said
Alex then bursted out laughing " omg you should see your face when you believed this is alcohol!! ahahaha!! I was joking you idiot it's just grape juice it's not alcohol! you don't even drink to know what alcohol is!" Alex said
it turned out she was pranking me, I fought the urge not go drama style and drenched her with the drink in my hand
" haha very hilarious Alexis you nearly gave me a heart attack!" I punched her shoulder lightly
"I'm sorry I'm sorry it was just a good opportunity to prank you I could pass" she continued laughing her ass off and I couldn't help it anymore I started laughing with her,
Well that until I saw her Little Miss perfect Lady Sabrina approaching us,
Sabrina is originally a red head British girl whom my sister met when they were so young, they first met in the church but it was clear that Sabrina's faith was not as strong as my sister's, she hated the very idea of religion but it didn't mean she was a bad person,
Even super religious ppl can still be bad people, the level of religiousness doesn't define whether a person is good or bad, but society loves to assume,
Unfortunately for lady Sabrina She wasn't an angel either, despite being covered in white from head to toe, wearing a long pearly white dress And a small vintage matching hat on top of her chin-length hair red hair, lady Sabrina approach us with a big pearly white smile that was perfectly made, what would you call a million dollars smile, as Victor noticed her he approached us with Aleeza still wrapped around him,
"Alec-Zander sweetheart you look fantastic! I've always loved your daring sense of fashion it does remind me of your father! oh my Rodrigo!...look at you Dear Alec still a loyal fan to the combination of Green and black...you even like Shiny thing like your father!" lady Sabrina sweetly spoke to me but for some reason it felt all wrong, I didn't like her new Aura at all as if she's not the Sabrina my sister and I always knew and loved and I could tell from Alex's glare that I was absolutely right...since when she was such a snake, I hated how she compared me to Rodrigo as if I don't know I resemble him a bit on the surface,
I decided to counterattack her sweet fake approach "Lady Sabrina rumors has it that you and my father are quite the close friends!" I Said smiling in unwelcoming manner,
her smile however only grew bigger as she leaned in to hug me without my consent "well love and forgiveness always finds its way to the heart of good folks! and I'm pretty sure you'll be able to forgive your father and restore the love you once had for him just as I did my Dear DEEEEAR Alec-Zander!!" she whispered into my ears making me shiver in disgust
" I never had any love for him just like he never had for me and I can see You're no longer on my side Are you Sabrina?" I asked in a more firm tone this time
" what side my Darling boy are we perhaps in a war.... funny I have no memory of that" Her response was enough to tell me that I have already lost another person but what came next was even far more unbelievable than that,
...end of chapter.....
