....Alexis's pov:
I decided to be the one to announce my relationship with Leon, as everyone was curious to know who and why did he help us today, he risked being charged legally by assaulting the crap out of that B!tch face,
even Sundar the little monkey was curiously staring at me waiting for my mouth to move,
crossing my legs, leaning back and placing my arms over the couch I was sitting on,
I started to speak " ladies and gentlemen and what's between...this brown hair short man sitting comfortably on that apple chair and who might be charged with Battery tomorrow for turning Rodrigo into a punching bag is! drum roll please!! " I said pointing at Leon " is Leon McClanahan....My biological father ta-da!" I added smirking
the room went silent, the twins, Videl and even Aleeza had a shocked expression plastered on their faces, well until Aleeza stood up from her seat pointing with her finger like she's detective Conan or something,
" I knew it!! I Freaking KNEW IT!! I KNEW you guys are related!!" Aleeza said enthusiastically jumping up and down,
" celebrate later Azee Holmes! let me finish!" I spoke pinching the bridge of my nose,
"as I said Leon is my father... I found out yesterday when I went with Alec-Zander to get him from the airport...we were set up by Leith" I continued
"so how come Leon just showed up? I mean 19 years after you were born" Aleeza asked
"simply put it this way...I didn't have a choice apparently much like Alec-Zander I was seriously stuck in some serious Rich business...and my life was on the line too somebody wanted me out of the picture... I'll explain everything to you some time later it's a little bit complicated" Leon replied to her question,
"oh I see... I guess we all have a 'Rodrigo' in our lives" Videl stated,
I sighted speaking again "I guess you understand now Aleeza... why Leon defended me against that crooked b!tch Rodrigo"
Aleeza nodded, she didn't ask anything else for few minutes, however Videl was far from done asking
"listen home girl! now I get it...he's your dad... Rodrigo was insulting you... Leon got protective over his baby girl and sh!te but I want to know...like why the F**k Leon came to the ceremony with Rodrigo?!" Videl asked while slightly glaring at Leon
[ I realized I keep calling him Leon, should I start calling him dad? ]
"that his f**king business ask him I just told you what I know sis!" I replied to her,
" oh about that like I said I'm still kinda stuck in some serious Rich business... earlier this morning I went to the Sliver Star Corporation main building after I received a call...I didn't tell anyone about it include Leah or Leith...I told them I had something to take care of today despite wanting to spend the entire day with them...if I knew Rodrigo would be a serious bad news I wouldn't have stepped a foot inside his office let alone his damn pathetic party" Leon replied answering Videl's question,
....Aleeza's Pov:
afterwards, Leon who turned out to be Alexis's bio dad continued on explaining how he ended up staying for the entire time with Rodrigo in his office talking boring business partnership possibility that Leon wasn't even considering but Rodrigo was hoping for,
turns out Leon got his own rich business to take care of overseas and Rodrigo's greedy mouth was watering hoping to get a chance of collaboration with Leon,
Leon mentioned that by the time the two finished the talk, he got invited to accompany Rodrigo to his family party and when he tried getting a hold of Leith
he said the call went straight to voice mail,
and since he didn't acquire Miss Leah, Alex's mom phone number or Alex's number herself, he couldn't call any of the girls to confirm his plans out,
because of how pestering Rodrigo was at inviting him to the party, Leon crumbled under the pressure and agreed to come along, He said that he even got the suit he was wearing as gift right after he agreed to come to the party,
" it was all as if Rodrigo planned the whole thing out...he even got my size right?! creepy much" Leon said slightly shivering,
" I agree it's unusual for Rodrigo to go so far to suck somebody's..*clears throat* I mean to kiss ass for partnership!" Videl replied slightly changing her words to something more family friendly,
it looked like Alex and Leon were holding back some giggles at her statement
" nah you've been cursing all day long you can't go family friendly on that one Videl!" Alex said joking,
"off topic though since me and Leon are quite new to The Rodrigo bullsh!t how does he usually behaves...he acted in the party like he cares about his kids but from What I understand that's far from reality" I stated grabbing the attention towards me
"true... he's a great actor if not the best we've ever seen" Vishal one of the twins spoke,
" he's not only a great actor... he's the kinda guy who's willing to kill his own kids if they step in his way" Vivek her brother continued
"that monster tried his best to hurt anyone who tried to date or befriend or even get closer to master Alec-Zander... Alec-Zander basically isolated himself from people and hid the fact he was from a rich family so people around him wouldn't get hurt...he grew out his hair...wore the same clothes to school everyday... Alec avoided talking to anyone... resulting often into kids making fun of him and bullying Alec pretty harshly...we tried to step in but he refused" Videl said
[ I feel really bad for him....if people only know how delicate he is]
Alex took a deep breath telling us how she met Alec-Zander " I met sunflower blondie when I made it to highschool...we had few classes together and I noticed how often he got bullied especially for his looks and how no one wanted to make friends with him or work on groups with him...I sympathize with him since I know how scary getting bullied can get"
" so how did you become friends with him?" I asked her, she slightly smiled at the memory I guess
"after noticing him in freshmen year for a while I started asking teachers about him...they all said they don't know much about him or how he came to be a student here...they all at least most of them teachers were kinda ignorant or harsh towards him too... thankfully the art teacher who also sympathize with him like I did asked me if I could help him a little bit since I didn't have friends in highschool despite being a social butterfly...the art teacher told me that They see Alec-Zander often go and hide in the school's stadium...so I decided to go find him there after school... unfortunately I found him...he was getting grabbing by his hair by some of our classmates and one of them knocked his glasses off...they were hitting him and laughing like it's funny" she added
I gasped at the story, how horrible can a bunch of highschoolers get?
[ nobody deserves to be bullied and no one has the right to bully]
" bullies are nothing but a bunch of insecure little cowards" Leon said
Alex nodded as she continued telling the story "I was sincerely pissed af so I fought off his bullies I punched every single one of them and got hurt in the process...the bullies got scared and ran away... Alec-Zander was on the ground crying...he looked at me and saw how bruised up I was...poor boy asked me why I defended him and I told him because it's the right thing to do! I wasn't gonna let those rats hurt him anyway"
"since I didn't knew his background I assumed from his clothes that him might be financially helpless...I told him that being poor isn't a mistake... I also assured him about his looks since he often got bullied for his long hair I told him that I wanted to shave mine as soon as I finish highschool...that hair is just hair! you style it to look the way you want it...and how you look or dress shouldn't be anybody's business...I tried comforting him with a good talk...Alec thanks me and said he was waiting for his ride back home...he begged me to come with him to his house so he can treat my wounds and considering how freaked out he was for my bruises I agreed but little did I know I was in for a major surprise when I saw young Victor for the first time...he was dressed formally and was walking our direction" Alex continued
" what happened next?" I asked wanting to fill my curiosity
" at that time I was just done calling my mom to tell her I was visiting a friend's house real quick and she asked me to be back as soon as I can when Victor walked in on us and asked who I was...Alec spoke on my behalf and said that I was coming with them...he explained what happened earlier with the bullies... Victor thanked me for what I did and escorted us to the car that was hidden a bit far behind the school and girl what do I tell you when my teenage jaw dropped to the ground as I saw the black limousine...I was just thinking wTH is going on...we ended up going to his house...and Victor treated my wounds... Alec-Zander explained a bit of his life dilemma to me... realizing how tragically he was going on with his life...and he struggles socially like always with being an introvert so I decided to stick around and be his friend...at the beginning it was me feeling bad for him but then I came to love Alec-Zander sincerely as a Friend...and I did everything in my powers so that he can always have fun and smile in my company and that's how we came to be besties I guess" Alex said finishing her story
"we were also pretty new to master Alec-Zander's life as well when Miss Alex became his best friend... by we I mean I mean myself and the twins....for Victor he was raised from childhood to be Alec-Zander Butler" Videl stated
"it's lovely that you all came to Alec's life together...I can't imagine how hard it was for him before you guys came" I said, they all slightly smiled at me
" we also didn't have it easy before him and Victor... it's thanks to them we have a life too now" the twins spoke in union
..... slight time skip.....
"well at least you had some fun tonight with Victor at the party" Alex said addressing me
my cheeks heated up a bit, I guess I blushed when the memory of Victor dancing and smiling with me today reappeared in my mind
" oh I did...it was possibly the only good thing that happened today" I stated
as soon as I said that, someone came into the living room, it was Victor who went earlier with the doctor to check up on Alec and put him in bed,
I greeted him as he sat down next to me, he looked a bit shaken up, whatever the doctor told him can't be good
" so what did Dr Melen says? is he gonna be alright?" the twins asked him as soon as he sat down
.... Victor's Pov:
" the doctor is suspecting a broken heart syndrome...he ordered that we should get him to a hospital and run some tests to confirm this" I replied to the twins question
Videl's face darkened, it was a miracle I stopped her earlier from actually pulling the trigger at sir Rodrigo,
" holy sh!t isn't that a pretty dangerous condition?? the broken heart syndrome thing? I heard about it before! they say its symptoms mimic the one's of a heart attack!" Leon said,
I was surprised at his knowledge but didn't choose to question it, I was more focused on thinking about how will I be able to convince Alec-Zander to go to the hospital tomorrow,
" knowing Alec he'd rather get sick to a breaking point and not go to a hospital...we have to make him go to a hospital even by force!" Miss Alexis stated,
I couldn't agree with her more,
" maybe he'll accept since it's just some few tests right?...like assure him he isn't going to stay at the hospital" Aleeza spoke giving me a glance
I sighted " tomorrow morning I will talk with him and if he doesn't listen to me...I hope you guys try on my behalf as well... negotiate with him because I have put up with this long enough" I not so calmly stated, I was feeling myself on the edge of insanity again,
Aleeza placed her hand on mine gently caressing it, it was a much needed gesture as it did calm my nerves a bit
she smiled at me gently speaking " worry not sweetheart... do your part and we'll do ours... let's just hope that by the morning Alec-Zander would be feeling better than now"
I couldn't be more grateful for having Miss Aleeza by my side at that very specific moment,
" thank you... you have no idea how my ears are blessed to hear such compassionate words...Aleeza" I replied returning her smile with one of my own,
I got up and decided that it was time for everyone to retire to their rooms " well our dear guests I'll let the twins and Videl handle your needs... they will show you your rooms if you may please follow them...as for me I will be in the guest house...if you need me just call for any of the servants and they will inform me" I stated,
" well I guess it's time to hit the bed...I kinda feel like staying here more but I can tell Leon is about to doze off" Miss Alexis said looking at her father, Leon who was struggling to stay awake
" damn I'm getting old for real" Mr Leon jokingly said as he got up yawning
" I am so ready to close this day behind me...I just want the morning to come already" Miss Aleeza said yawning as well
Videl rolled her eyes at the guests, she was trying to hide her smile but I noticed she looked a little bit happier today,
" don't forget to change your clothes... I'll make sure to give you each something comfortable to sleep in" Videl stated
soon after the living room was empty as every alongside the other servants were escorted to their designated champers,
I remained just for a cup of tea with little monkey Sundar before putting her back to her room and leaving to the guest house,
the guest house that was only few steps away behind the main house, was were I chose to live,
for years now I've been staying in the guest house and maintaining it all by myself,
the twins and Videl stay in the main house because they prefer it that way,
I prefer to be left alone on my free time so I choose to stay in the guest house simply for some peace of mind,
I was hoping that I'd fall asleep right away, but I couldn't bring myself to even slip into something more comfortable than my work attire, instead
I found myself playing chess with my little cat Zandra that always stays within the guest house that I'm currently occuping,
Zandra has been my cat for four years now, although I wasn't an animal person before,
Zandra changed my mind, the one eyed Van cat I found beaten up and starved on the street sadly reminded me of my master Alec-Zander, when I found Zandra she had a collar around her Neck, she belonged to someone and they nearly killed the poor thing
Zandra being a very self isolated cat and Sundar being a naughty monkey often fight together, Sundar would creep up on Zandra's personal space earning herself a scratch or two from Zandra's claws,
my sweet little white cat with amber markings can be my biggest source of inspiration sometimes,
after few funny rounds of chess and listening to some instrumental music, i finally was hit by a wave of sleepiness,
I changed into a pair of grey sweatpants and an orange long sleeve shirt and picked up Zandra in my hands laying her gently next to me,
as I slowly closed my eyes, memories from the party flashed into my mind, I never thought I would be laughing and dancing at a party held by sir Rodrigo, but miracles do happen
[and my miracle is a stunning girl named Aleeza Saha]
"goodnight ZanZan" I quietly said ruffling my cat's furr till we both gave in to sleep.
