.... previously....in Alex's pov:
" very sweet of you Priya, but I've made up my mind! I have a gut feeling that is pushing against him. I will see for myself what Rodrigo is capable of, I like Alec-Zander I'm going to be his friend, I won't stand it seeing him being haunted by that degenerate creature Rodrigo when I'm by his side, besides I'm more confident now that we're back as friends! you and me." Aleeza spoke, she started walking outside,
"you going somewhere?" I asked,
Aleeza nodded as she spoke "yes, to the guest house"
" Vivek is currently cooling off there" I said
" I know... that's why I'm going there" Aleeza replied walking away.

..... chapter begins...
.... Vishal's pov:
I saw Miss Aleeza going towards the guest house, I knew she was heading for my brother, I sneaked in behind her keeping a distance so she cannot see me, I've always been good at being stealthy, it was mandatory survival skill for me and my brother, my intentions were to eavesdrop on their conversation. I kew my brother is possible going to be disrespectful towards Miss Aleeza, He's been always hostile towards strangers,
getting inside the house was as easy as biting down an apple,
just like my brother has his own lock pick I have mine too, we keeps tools on us whenever we need to intervene on something, since I couldn't risk going from the front door I obviously chose the back door,
the back door is always closed, Victor's habits since he lives here, I picked the lock and I let myself in, even for a guest house this place was quite big,
I found me a place where I can listen good on anything without being spotted easily, my biggest concern at the moment wasn't being found,
.... Vivek's Pov:
I've been sitting for most of the day inside the guest house we sometimes call us Victor's house cuz that's where he lives, it was getting late, as I waited for him to come back but Victor still never showed up, i spent most of the time fixing the bruises I received from Videl's punches,
"maybe boring me to death it is the new punishment" I whined to myself, don't get me wrong, I feel guilty about the horseplay I did Earlier,
" at this point I won't be even mad if they kicked me and my boots out of the house, I already did too much." I thought,
I was sitting in the neat and tidy little living room, perfectly painted and decorated in mostly orange, it had an autumn vibes to it, Victor's style I guess,
it was warm, inviting, and a joyful room unlike me despite how flashy I am, I mean for God sake I dyed my hair in purple and wore clothes you can only find in Children's coloring book to try and look less threatening, but I can't hide my ugly insides, being gloomy isn't a sin, but my sin is that I make it everyone's problem,
on the other hand Victor might appear like he could kill to the public eye, but he's a honey-pie on the inside, he's like a gentle giant type of person,
Zandra the little cat was taking a nap on a marmalade-shaped pillow next to me on the couch, zandra purred in her sleep when I rubbed her head,
"same thing Zandie I just wanna nap too, but if I did and Your papa Victor comes in I might get in trouble. " I said yawning, I kept wondering how long until Victor finally shows up at his own house,
[why is he such a workaholic? he needs a break, I'm starting to believe he's an actual vampire]
there were suddenly knocks on the door, I jumped in anxiety,
" it's got to be Victor!! My demise has arrived goodbye unfair world" I sais in hushed tone walking to the door, that until I realized something,
"wait a minute this is Victor's house?! he doesn't need to knock to enter?!" I thought quickly as I swung the door open,
it was That indian looking girl Aleeza,
" are you even allowed here pumpkin?" that was the first thing I said to her, I wanted to say hi but I couldn't control myself,
"you're not very Welcoming I see, but don't worry I got permission from Victor if that's what you're asking for." Aleeza replied, she had this unsettling smile on her face, she looked unfazed by my impolite approach,
she let herself in, slowly walking while admiring the interior design of the house, she eventually sat down on the couch exactly where I was sitting
"I hate being rude trust me I don't want to I'm built like, it's kinda in my veins and shit. I'm built like diss, probably Victor is going to kill me if I mistreated any of the guests and considering these days he's going to kill me for sure if I mistreated you." I stated sitting on another chair in the living room,
Aleeza's smile didn't fade away, her expression remained the same as if she's a machine, it gave me goosebumps,
"I'll let you know no matter what you try to say I am not leaving, not until I make a point." She said still smiling like a dead doll,
"has anybody told you you look like a witch, stop smiling drop the ACT!" I said raising my voice a little,
" nice trying to intimidate me Vivek... anyways, about earlier, personally if you did what you did to Alec-Zander to me, I would have hanged you already. but I'm not Alec-Zander, I don't know how his brain works! and I'm not here to kick your ass or anything, I'm here to tell you my opinion on something Yaar." Aleeza replied, she noticed the cat peacefully sleeping next to her and she began to rub it gently,
I rolled my eyes "shut up pleeease!! you're just going to give me like my sister another lesson of life, that I should be nice to other people or else is going to come back around and bite me in the ass! get lost! you can leave and tell Victor that I was a piece of crap towards you too!! for all I care I'm already in hell! what do you know about me that gives you the materials to judge me and what I do, look at you all smiley and glitzy, someone like you would never understand what I feel!" I yelled out getting up from my chair, it was then where her fake blissful expression dropped to a Grim look,
"Bas, we're done!" Aleeza said picking herself up from the couch,
"I came here on behalf of your worried as F**k sister but personally, I wanted to compliment your work on the garden it's really beautiful. Victor was right you're not in your right State of mind, and you're right too you're a piece of crap, but I want to believe there's good in you... it's true I don't understand what you're going through, but your problems don't invalidate mine." She added walking towards the door,
"tell me like I care sugar?! what did you go through?! a heartbreak in highschool?! You fought with your mom about your choice of outfit?! listen Fancy city girl, I don't give a damn ok!" I said,
[ can someone just shut me up plz]
Aleeza stopped in her tracks, she was a step away from the door, she turned back to face me, she had a sour face on
" you think you can hurt me Vivek?! well get in line! I have a father who's been calling me ugly and fat since 6 years old, he made me go for days without food and forced me to wear all black and baggy clothes because he was ashamed of my own body?! and if I wore something colorful or a slight bit revealing I would get physically abused. I was bullied out of my Friendship with Alexis, *in a mocking tome* Oooh a heart break in highschool! how cute! SHUT UP MF!! my dad disowned me in public at the age of 18 me and my brother too cuz we said F**k you we're not staying in this abusive toxic house anymore! so try harder next time!" She said looking me in the eyes,
I wanted to say something, but I felt like I lost my voice, I knew I messed up
Aleeza continued to talk looking me dead in the eyes saying "my mother preferred boys over girls cuz girls are trouble and shameful in her mindset! she tried to force me to marry my own cousin Raj cuz his dad is RICH!! so I grew up not only hating how I look, but The hating the fact that I'm a f**king WOMAN! I'm surprised I even want to be in a love relationship CUZ I CAN'T STAND THE IDEA?!"
I was too stunned to speak,
"I left home because I couldn't handle the abuse anymore! I have scares on my back and in my head! I have four older sisters and they all tried their best to ruin me to just cope with their misfortune!! they also did whatever they could to make me drop out of high school but I managed to graduate in the end, my sisters didn't like it that I managed to graduate when they couldn't. all of them except for the oldest dropped out of high school because of my father. he forced them all to marry rich after abandoning school, as for my oldest sister she was studying to become a doctor but he bullied her into dropping out, and then what?! he f**king made her marry a doctor!! i dropped out of school shortly after leaving the house because I couldn't afford it, despite that I worked hard for it! but I didn't let it break me...I picked myself up and I'm sewing my own future by my own needle and thread!" she said placing a hand to her heart, I never had anyone oversharing this much to me,
"miss Aleeza I " I tried speaking but she stopped me right away,
" save it for later vivek...I don't know what you're going through and you're not telling me what it is that you're going through and I get it cuz you have absolutely the right to not tell me anything. but whatever the hell you went through it will NEVER EVER give you the right to belittle somebody else's misfortune, just because you think you had it worse and maybe you did?! IDK don't invalidate others experiences?! your misfortune doesn't justify you hurting others! it does explains your rude behavior but it's not an excuse for it!! treat others like you want to be treated Vivek and if that's how you want to be treated, then I'll be glad to turn your treatment back to you. Your sister cares about you so don't break her heart." Aleeza said opening the door,
"Miss wait" I said but she ignored me slamming the door behind her and leaving me All Alone again in this house,
" Gosh!! I F**Ked up again, i really did...I should've apologized!" I said crumbling to the ground by the door.
[ if only I could stop thinking that everyone is out to get me]
..... Vishal's Pov:
I couldn't believe what my brother just did, as soon as I made sure miss Aleeza was actually out i got out of my hideout
"you egg-suckin' dawg! I knew you'd flap those lips, too damn rude, couldn't keep a lady in your company! I damn ugh, you just make my ass itch!" I shouted at my twin brother, my southern accent always comes out when I'm angry,
his got startled real bad he stood up screaming at my sight "what the hell sis, what the f**k you being doing here Viola?!"
" it ain't no f**king Viola for you BITCH, you call me Vishal you hear it's Vishal F**king O'Seal! don't forget that what we were in the past is long gone dead...buried six deep in!" I screamed back at him
the last thing I want him to do is to call me by my birth name,
"Go sit in the truck I F**KIN HATE MY NAME!! I wanna go back being Vincent!!" he yelled
" it sucks, I want us to go back being Vincent and Viola Yeller not this stupid Vivek and Vishal O'Seal joke! I wanna go back home." he added,
"then be my guest! go back let them throw your body in a ditch for the dogs and birds to eat cuz I don't care anymore. You should be thankful Victor hire our criminal asses here, and gave us a shot at a normal life, you ain't so grateful for!" I replied, I'm not happy with how we came to be but I'm hell to the yeah thankful Victor sheltering our rotten flesh,
"thankful? Y'all delusional...yeah Victor did pull us from the shithole we're in, gave us new names and a place to stay but we remain criminals on the run. sister we ain't Living in High Cotton, we're living in fear! I'm just scared of that f**ker Rodrigo, he's being trying to run a background check on us for years now. what if he'll know everything about us, this life we're having is gonna be taking away from us like before. Mf had a child in secret?! we were tailing him like dogs and we didn't find out about his little boy, this man is coming for us I can smell the stench. we can't even fight him back!" Vivek (Vincent) said,
"I'm About to Fly Off the Handle too, I know that man is crooked He Thinks the Sun Comes Up Just to Hear Him Crow. but that ain't an excuse for you to be so rude towards everyone, especially not Master Alec-Zander nor that poor girl Aleeza, and just so you know, Victor is already taking a huge likening to her this ain't good for you. I've never seen him this worked up about someone, Vidal was gushing about how flirty and warm those two were yesterday. that Girl Aleeza she's a sweet as Dixie crystal sugar but she's got a side to her you ain't ready for, unless you want to dig your own grave then you better stop Vivek.
you're barking up the Wrong Tree brother!" I said walking towards my twin,
" keep the game alive, I know you're stressed beyond fixing but I got you. talk to me, empty your heart out, we got something that a lot of people are wishing for, we're family." I added wrapped him up in a hug,
he hugged me back saying "I'm sorry sis, I didn't mean to cause a scene."
" no I'm sorry I'm always harsh on you. I should've been a little bit understanding too, I love you V" I replied smiling,
... Aleeza's pov:
the hardest part of sneaking in is to not make a sound, I got to give it to Vishal for clearing the way,
I can't believe she actually thought I didn't see her, although I didn't expect to fight with her brother after I left the house from the front door I went back took turn to the back door,
just as I expected it was open, I guess being a fan of True crimes is always beneficial,
don't get me wrong I don't go around and break into other people's houses but I have a strong gut feeling that can tell me if I'm being watched,
I was hiding somewhere close to where she was hiding before she popped out and talked with her brother,
they were now hugging after a long fight, as cute as it is, the info is I collected about these two are kind of a big deal,
so turns out that the twins, Vivek and Vishal O'Seal, with a lavender dyed hair and the bright turquoise uniform are I didn't under fake names and it seems that Victor knows about it, more likely he was the one who operated the whole thing,
[just what the hell is this place]
and why is Victor allowing two supposed on the run criminals to be working as servants in his master's house,
[does that mean that all the servants come from criminal background even Videl?]
I remember the servants mentioned so far so many times how much Victor helped them and brought them from the slumps, in fact it seems they respect and fear Victor more than Alec-Zander in a way,
this isn't my business in the end, and if I do want to be Alec-Zander friend I'm going to have to keep their secret a secret... I wasn't sure whether Alec knows what's going on in his house,
thankfully I managed to sneak outside without disturbing the Twins, the last thing I want to do is to be found by them, the only thing I wanted to do right now is to go back home, it was sunset already and it was getting darker and darker by the second, I felt a bit uneasy,
there was a feeling pushing me to go back home.
"with no car now I'm going to have to ask her to for a ride... I hope he says yes it's quite dark." I thought to myself walking back into the mansion.
.....time skip.....few hours later.....
I managed to convince Victor to take me back home because I didn't bring my car with me I was forced to ask for help, it's not something I like to do,
" you have surprised me Aleeza, I thought you were on board with remaining for tonight as well." Victor said as he parked his orange SUV in the parking lot of the apartment complex I live in,
as we got out he over to scored me up to my apartment and I agreed, in fact considering how much trouble I put him through I was hoping to serve him some tea or something,
I wasn't ready however for the unexpected guest waiting in front of my apartment's door, someone I haven't seen in a while,
my older brother Sidharth, he look wrecked, disheveled, messy clothes and hair and his eyes were buffy red from crying, he looked like he was freezing too,
"Sid?! Sidharth! kya hua brother?! Are you alright?!" I run towards him, Sidharth wiped his teary eyes and smile
"I'm fine now...I was hoping if it's okay I crash here at your place sister." he said, it was then when I noticed his backpack and his PC case, he was carrying them with him,
"we broke up. I got kicked out too because I was being too much, my mental health just got worse and we ended up fighting over and over" Sidharth started speaking, his tears were threatening to fall again, Sidharth always had a bad luck with love,
" it's okay sweetheart you don't have to explain yourself, let's go inside it's fine you can stay as much as you want here. oh almost forgot sorry Victor! I was hoping I get you inside or a cup of tea but I feel ashamed now I'm going to have to send you back empty-handed." I said to Victor who was quietly watching me and my brother,
