Alex's pov:
I made it back to the ceremony hall only to find Aleeza or I'd say her alter ego Azazel challenging Rodrigo in the middle of a confused crowd
" I hope you remember this day very well because I will not forget about it myself...sure it might seem like I have no business at all with your shenanigans in the end I'm just a friend of your son but Priyaaa wait and see! I Aleeza will make you see the stars in the daylight and I don't even need resort to violence...you seems like the type that doesn't learn no matter how hard you'll get beaten " she said loud enough for everyone to hear,
Rodrigo, that crook on the other hand did his signature move when he gets challenged, he took off his glasses and wiped them with the end of his suit's jacket, placed them back on the nose of his bridge and smiled like the villain he is
He leaned to Aleeza's level and stated in excitement "you're one ball of fire Miss Aleeza aren't you! finally my son choose a smart friend who knows how use words instead of fists" he said as he noticed my arrival,
Rodrigo was throwing shade at me from when I first met him and he creeped the hell out of me I gave him a punch to the stomach, one hell of a first impression!
" A good fist is what b!shes like you deserve Rodrigo you untamed Sick animal!" I fired at him speed walking to where he was standing,
"And people ship you with my beautiful polite and respectful son Alec? Seriously miss Alexis what does people see in you? you're nothing but a circus clown with no one to befriend you so you decide to glue yourself to Alec-Zander and oh my poor son! he can't say no to people like you now can he?!" Rodrigo said trying to insult me even more,
" unlike you I couldn't give two F**ks about what ppl think! I am willing to stand up for others someone who gives a sh!T about me and Alec-Zander showed me nothing but love and respect! you YOU don't deserve him you poor sad pathetic excuse of A Father!! " I replied curling my hands into a fist,
" Ohh! So you know what a good father is like? oh please do tell dear Alexis?! Well at least biology says I'm Alec's dad I wonder where's your real father at honey pie? oh And don't give me the Leith is my dad crap! I know your background! "
...Aleeza's pov:
" Ohh! So you know what a good father is like? oh please do tell dear Alexis?! Well at least biology says I'm Alec's dad I wonder where's your real father at honey pie? oh And don't give me the Leith is my dad crap! I know your background!" Said Rodrigo in a mocking tone,
[this asshole knows about Leith too??]
I noticed something shuffle past my eyes and in an instant Alex was grabbing Rodriguez from his collar, being the tall girl she is it was no problem for her to reach him,
she was just about to punch his face when a security guard rushed in grabbing her hand away from Rodrigo,
only for this guard to be pushed away to the ground by another person who was well dress and seems to be a guest here,
.....Alex's Pov:
As I tried punching Rodrigo but one of the security guards attempted to stop me,
I expected that the security would instantly jump at me since I was about to smash the face of the person who's technically is their boss, but what I didn't expect was someone jumping to my defense sending that poor security guy flying towards the ground,
I instantly took the chance and punched Rodrigo who fell to the ground near his security guard bleeding from his nose, I turned around to give my attention to the person who helped me out,
it was Leon who helped me,
[damn now i know from which parent I got my fire from]
"Leon??! Wth are doing here?!" I asked the moment I realized he was the one helping me " who's this guy Alex? do You guys know each others?!" Aleeza asked
I quickly shushed her " I'll explain later Aleeza right now i have to crack some head" I said cracking my knuckles,
"Is she your friend? what's her name" Leon asked me
" Yeah... That's Aleeza...anyways thanks for the help it was...rather unexpected" I replied only to realize Leon ignored me, pouring his attention at Rodrigo who was finally getting up from my punch,
" You've got some Steel nerves insulting Alexis you piece of rotten flesh...I like to practice my boxing on D*** Heads like you" Leon said grabbing Rodriguez from his hair while looking down on him with a smirk,
it was such a power moment considering Leon is shorter than me and than Rodrigo he was currently grabbing in his hand,
Aleeza and I stood there as Leon radiated some serious main character energy for a moment,
"Aren't we supposed to be the main characters here?" I said jokingly to Aleeza next to me
" I've never felt like an extra in my life as much as I'm feeling it right now sis" Aleeza responded to me while keeping her eyes at Leon,
"Who is this Leon guy?I heard you guys mentioning him in the car on our way here?" She asked again
" Trust me I'll explain later this is all new to me as well I had no idea he'd be here" I tried reassuring her with my answer and it seemed like it was working for now,
"Whoa there dear Friend!" Said Rodrigo manged to remove himself swiftly from Leon's grip, he dusting himself back up, picking a tissue for his bleeding nose,
Leon's behavior must've shocked Rodrigo pretty seriously but why?
" I thought you came here for business why are you defending that weird girl?" Rodrigo's words again made it to me and I was ready to sucker punch him another time but Aleeza stopped me
" Don't, let him be I think this Leon guy is going to handle him himself it's for the best if we leave for now" she said
.....Aleeza's pov:
I tried to take this chance to urge Alex that we should leave when everyone is busy watching Rodrigo and Leon argue
however I noticed something or pretty much someone crying while running outside, it was the little kid Raphael
the boy who turned out to be Alec's hidden little brother,
I got distracted watching the boy run outside, he seemed to be upset and terrified,
I suppose we can't hate on this little kid in the end, I don't think the little boy should be blamed for his parent's actions, he did nothing wrong,
"I'll be right back... Alex you go outside I'll meet you there " I quickly said to her and hurried to catch up with the little boy,
it was hard moving around with a dress like mine,
...Few minutes later...
I finally found him in an isolated area outside the hall where the ceremony was being held,
At the bottom of some stairs there curled up in a ball and crying his eyes out sat Raphael, the little boy with the purple and black suit
" hey Raphael?! Raph? Raphi I don't really know what to nickname you?" I simply said sitting next to him,
He looked up at me with teary eyes and a running nose, his black little eyes reminds me of Alec Everytime I stare at them,
They turned out to be brothers after all,
" Brother Alec hates me Right...he was screaming at me" he said sniffling, I sighted patting his head gently
"no no he wasn't screaming at you love! Alec doesn't hate! I don't think so Raphi I don't think so...Alec is just... surprised" I said,
[ how do I explain this to a child]
"My brother said a bad word...bad words are for bad people" Raphael replied referring to when Alec cursed at his sight,
" I know I know but don't do that too okay! We shouldn't say bad words until we're old enough to say it without grown ups getting mad at us ok?" I said trying to raise his spirit,
I wiped his tears away with a handkerchief that was in my purse,
He started giggling finally " do you say bad words too princess?" He asked me in the most cutest way ever, I have a weakness for children,
" From time to time...my little prince charming" I replied giggling myself "so are we friends?" I continued
He quickly stood up and hugged me " Friends! Yay I made my first friend!! And it's a pretty princess!" He cheered happily,
I pinched his little cheeks hard and smiled
" aww you're so cheeky who taught you to talk like that!"
Raphael gave me a grin with a childish laugh as he introducing himself "Hello my friend! my name is Raphael! what's your name pretty lady?" the little boy asked slightly bowing to me
[So cute I could die happy]
"I'm Aleeza my little prince it is pleasure to meet you " I replied standing up and bowing back at him,
Raphael's eyes lit up in an instant "Your name is so prettyyy! I love pretty names" he said
I couldn't stop giggling, this little kid was just so adorable " will you do Pinky promise with me?" He requested holding his little pinky in the air
" Oh of course but for what?" I asked
" That will be friends forever!" He replied and I almost felt like crying,
[Dang it I wanna adopt this kid]
" promise I'll be your friendly friend till the very end Raphi" I replied wrapping my pinky finger around his,
We did the pinky promise with big smiled on our faces, I knew in that moment that I need to help Raphael gain Alec's love somehow,
The kid is a literal angel like his older brother and there's no way I'm gonna let him be his lizard mother and father's little chewing toy
[I have to protect him,
I will protect him]
...few minutes later....
After chatting for few minutes I heard a weird clacking noise, it was the heels of lady Sabrina as she walked in an angry manner towards us,
The moment she made it to the stairs we sat on, she grabbed poor Raphael as if he was a potato sack,
" You had me worried sick Raphael I was looking for you everywhere!!" She shouted at him and I instantly stood up facing her,
" Hey chill Sabrina your kid is fine! stop screaming at him for god's sake he's just a child"
Sabrina got pissed off at my words and instantly replied to me " You have no right to be speaking to me in such manner or tell me how I should raise my Goddamn child!" she said,
" No curse words in front of kids Priya! be careful with how you treat him... don't forget he's your son not your project oh wait nevermind ppl like you don't understand how important parenthood is" I fired at her,
lady Sabrina then asked poor Raphael to sit back while she took me aside to speak freely to me,
" do you question my love for my child?! You are a vermin who knows nothing about being a mother!...Who the hell are you I swear Alec-Zander keeps on befriending weird individuals that only do nothing but cause me and my Rodrigo trouble! from that annoying attorney Rain Fang to that freak looking Alexis and that disgusting Russian orphan Victor they picked from the streets!" she screamed her response,
Disgusting Russian orphan Victor? how dare you!
[Wow sis Sabrina is really trying to match sir Rodrigo's energy? are your zodiac signs compatible too?!]
"God I want to know how the hell Rodrigo keeps having angelic children while he's literally trash and you...you Sabrina how the hell you have this sweet kid by your side when you're nothing but an ugly soul?! I am petrified at the thought he might turn out to be like you when he grows up!" I shouted at her, I had enough of her acting all high an mighty,
"Watch that mouth Miss Aleeza I am warning you my patience is running out!"
"Sis watch what yours do instead...I wonder if Rodrigo is going to forgive you for ruining his so called family party!" I said smirking at her horrid sight,
I decided enough was enough and started walking away from her, my mental health can't handle more stress, as I was walking away I took a look back at them I saw her holding Raphael's hand and ruffling his hair a bit,
maybe Sabrina does love her son but she's still horrible at showing her affection,
a thought came across in my head and I found myself walking back to her,
" by the way... Lady Sabrina I just realized your outfit is missing something! I don't see a ring on your finger? oh I'm not judging sister I'm just asking " I said smirking wider than before,
[bingo I hit a bullseye!]
Oh man she looked pissed " mind your own damn business" she replied hissing at me,
" Oh poor Sabrina you don't cook you don't clean and you ain't got no ring ahahaha" i sang,
"Raphael go back to your father's side I'll be with you in a minute child" she quickly ushered her little boy away from us, Raphael gave me a smile and hurried back to the ceremony hall,
" How dare you speak like that In front of my child" she screamed in anger as soon as her son was out of her sight,
I stood facing her " listen Priya let's talk real shall we" I stated,
I took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of my nose as I began speaking " listen Sabrina I know for a fact that Raphael is a good kid and I can tell he's nothing like his Mommy and daddy dearest!"
I could tell she wanted nothing more than to choke me dead but I didn't care as I continued talking "if you truly love Raphael and want to help him and Alec-Zander to bond as brothers then I can actually help you!" I suggested to her,
She looked at me skeptically " and why would you help out on something like that? what's your gain from a of this Aleeza?!" She asked me clearly believing that I have ill intentions, but I actually don't
" I wanna do it out of good will sweetheart I usually do get myself involved with b!shes like Rodrigo let alone be involved with their family business but since I'm already six feet deep into this pit hole let me actually do something nice for you cuz you clearly don't realize you're on the bad Side Sabrina!" I replied
" I can get Alec-Zander to accept Raphael only if I have an access to Raphael himself and since I'm neither his mother or father or at least some sort of a guardian I can only ask you to cooperate with me because I won't speak to that Rodrigo A-hole logically and I'm not half-assed crazy to kidnapp a child either!" I added, I waited for her reaction or reply as patiently as possible,
Sabrina took a moment to think with herself before she spoke again, this time she was speaking from her heart "I know I messed up today Aleeza...No need to remind me of how much I hate myself.... I shouldn't have brought the news like that on Alec-Zander's but I was actually hoping he'd be his usual understanding self...no lies being told on this part... I ended up straying away from the original object... Rodrigo wanted me to tell him myself because Alec-Zander refuses to listen to his father no matter what the occasion is .. It's just that I am envious of how much Rodrigo's attention is pointed towards Alec-Zander more than he ever cared about me...so I decided to hurt Alec-Zander out of jealousy today... Rodrigo despite how I feel about him I don't know how he feels about me...I'm not sure he even cares about Raphael that much...I lost hope... I've always being the big bad Wolf that everyone avoided" I felt honesty in her words as she opened up,
Finally you're speaking with no filter lady Sabrina Wolf,
" I guessed so from the way he scolded you in the ballroom I could tell that man gives too little to no damns about you but I can tell that you love him Sabrina ... You love Rodrigo enough to stay glued to his side even when he humiliates you... even when he didn't bother to put a ring around your finger... Heck that man probably doesn't bend a knee at the fact your the mother of his youngest child!" I stated looking her in the eyes, her hazel eyes were slowly drawing in tears,
"Sabrina " I said walking in her space,
"I don't know how things came to be but I know that Alec-Zander had faith in you until the moment he was faced with the truth today inside that very ballroom...he still thought of you as his sister's best friend... maybe he saw you as a big sister too...I can't tell you what's on his mind but I can tell you he's broken...he feels stabbed in the back Sabrina... but there's still hope for you Sabrina trust me... nothing wrong with loving someone it's just wrong to love Rodrigo " as I said this, Sabrina's tears fell streaming down her face,
" If you have any conscious left Sabrina you'd help me out...we can help each other ... let's take down the beast together" I said holding her hand in mine, I placed a card in her hand
" What's this " she asked wiping her tears away as she received the little pink and yellow card in her hand,
"a business card if you like calling it that...I do babysitting as a side job for two years now...You'll find my phone number on it and you can call me whenever you decide that it's best for you to prioritize your son's happiness over everything else Sabrina...use this as an excuse to contact me...I don't say something like I need you to babysit Raphael and I'll come pick him up" and with that being said, I turned my heels the other way walking away from Sabrina,
As I passed by the hall I saw the little child eating cake, I waved goodbye at little Raphael and left this place behind walking outside towards the limousine,
"Kids suffer the most " whispering to myself I headed outside looking for one person in mind... another angel I left crying somewhere,
I'm not the most religious person on earth but For some reason I had an urge to look at the sky praying, lifting my head up I called "God if you're up there watching over us please forgive me and help me carry on for I will eventually sin greatly"
