" yeah ya right Priya, but don't worry about me. I'm a woman too you know, I won't turn my back on another Woman that came to me with two black eyes wearing only her nightgown while holding her baby in her arms like she's not about to see him again.
besides Sabrina, I gotta a kind of similar case like you sleeping in currently in my bedroom." I said hinting at yesterday's events.

...time skip...few hours later....
-third person pov:
Lifting her head up, Aleeza checked the peach themed clock in the kitchen, " 10: 30...funny that would've been the time I'm supposed to be meeting Sabrina at." She whispered her thoughts to herself, she glanced at the red head Sabrina sitting at the kitchen table and feeding her little boy a sandwich.
A tiny smile found its way on Aleeza's lips, seeing how cute Raphael seemed humming and munching on the bread while his mother watching him lovingly.
" Azeeee!" a voice called for her attention from another room, " WHAT!" Aleeza replied back shouting at her brother who just woke up from his sleep, he was surprised to find himself in his sister's bedroom, Sidharth didn't even remember how he got there in the first place.
realizing he smelled badly, he stumbled out of the bed in a hurry " HEY SIS ARE YOU NOT GOING TO USE THE BATHROOM RIGHT NOW? *coughs* I WANNA TAKE A SHOWER! I'LL ONLY TAKE FIVE MINUTES *coughs*!" he shouted again,
" YEAH GO AHEAD AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE COME EAT SOMETHING! I MADE SANDWICHES!" Aleeza shouted her answer again.
...few minutes later...
Aleeza came back to the kitchen after handing her brother the key to his now neatly organized and clean room, Sidharth was already out of the shower and looking for something nice and comfy to wear, Aleeza was grateful to see that his mood was significantly better compared to yesterday's.
" you and your brother seem to have a good relationship. myself being an only Child, I do not know how it is like to have siblings." Sabrina commented as soon as she saw Aleeza walking back into the kitchen, her question earned her a nod from the darker shade girl "perks of being both dad's black sheep I guess, we bonded on tragedy more than good times." Aleeza replied watching Raphael jerk his head once more.
ever since the little Raphael woke up, Aleeza noticed that she'd seen him often do the same gestures over and over from time to time for no apparent reason, like the excessive eyes blinking, head jerking, shoulder shrugs and even occasional hopping.
wanting the change the center of her hostess's s attention a little, Sabrina asked Aleeza " I hope I am not praying on your life but i was wondering, what does your brother do for a living?"
" Sidharth? Sid is a commission artist, he makes Artworks and illustrations for people in exchange of specific price, depends on what he's making."
" oh I see! like for an example those artists on Likestgram who draw fans as characters from their favorite Shows?"
" yeah, although each artist is different in general, some be drawing original characters some do fanarts, some draw objects...it all depends on what type of artist they are and Their artstyle. Sidharth usually draws characters and he even has his own characters and comic, my favorite of his works is a comic with a name that's quite funny, 'Giant Cinnamon Roll'... that's the comic's name.
anyways, why the sudden interest Sabrina? you wanna commission my brother?" Aleeza replied jokingly at the end, but to her surprise Sabrina nodded with her head.
" well actually yes! you see, Raphael has being obsessed lately with this cartoon show! called 'Orange and Lettuce' those two best friends living in world populated by anthropomorphic food.
I was thinking it would be nice if Sidharth can draw Raphael as a little Sandwich next to his two favorite characters, I'll be using the art to make printed shirts out of it for Raphael, to wear more often instead of the shitty formal wear Rodrigo keeps getting him.
Can you ask Sidharth about the details of his services? I would love to know if he would agree to the job."
"I'll do it, *clears throat* I don't have anything to do lately anyways!" Sidharth popped out of nowhere startling Sabrina a little, Raphael found his mom getting jump-scared funny enough to start giggling.
" oh what do we have here! a little Sandwich!" Sidharth said picking the giggling child in his arms " hehehe! you look like princess Aleeza! Are you a prince too?" Raphael asked tilting his head, causing a cute aggression for the adults gathered around him.
" aww!! he's such a cutie I wanna bite him!" Sidharth said squealing at the tiny human in his arms, " I suppose doting on children is a family trait for you two siblings." Sabrina commented at the jolly interaction, both the Saha siblings nodded smiling kindly at the mini sized human staring back at them in both excitement and confusion.
Sidharth finally placed the child back on the ground, Raphael instantly hopped on one foot, "So *clears throat* what's your name little Sandwich?" he asked "Raphael! my name is Raphael! and you mister... what's your name?" said The little boy blinking again.
" hello Raphi!! I'm Aleeza's big brother, my name is Sidharth but because we're friends now! you can call me Sid." Sidharth said shaking Raphael's hand in his.
" oh you're a big brother! I have a big brother too! but...my big brother doesn't wanna play with me." Raphael spoke, his words made Sabrina bite her lips anxiously.
" Alec-Zander will play with you, I'll make him do so! I'm a princess after all! no one can say no to a princess right?" Aleeza instantly stepped in to fix the mood, her statement drew a big smile on Raphael's face and washed the worries off His mother's face.
Sidharth on the other hand wasn't sure what was going on but he didn't like it one pit.
-Sidharth's Pov:
" Alec-Zander will play with you, I'll make him do so! I'm a princess after all! no one can say no to a princess right?" my sister jumped in saying as soon as the little sandwich said his brother doesn't want to play with him.
[Alec-Zander? why is my sister such a good person?]
" who's Alec-Zander, that's quite the unusual name... for some reason I think I recognize it from somewhere." I spoke slightly annoyed at the fact that I couldn't exactly remember when or where I heard this name before.
" he's the dance teacher I told you has helped me with my car the other day, well his butler did the job but he ordered it so...he it was all thanks to him, he's actually the same age range as me so we instantly formed a friendship." Aleeza replied to my question.
Ah right, she told me he day her car broke down that some guy helped her going back home, "next time you see him, thank him in my place for taking care of you! I'm happy to see you making friends again...after what happened between you and Alexis in the past. it's a relief you got someone now by you side, I'm too useless to be any good for you sister, forgive me." I said patting my younger sister's head lightly, her expression wasn't telling a good story.
" what happened with Alexis? I thought you and Watermelon head are best friends?" Miss Sabrina asked giving my sister a complex stare, I wasn't sure what she meant by Watermelon head but it was obvious that Sabrina knew who Alexis was.
" we had a long break in our friendship, the day of that party you held with your Shitty boyfriend was the day we finally rekindled our relationship...I guess I should thank Alec-Zander for that too." My sister replied, her face still had that weird expression I couldn't read.
" This Alec-Zander guy seems like a cool person, fixed your car and your friendship too?! I should meet this guy in person and thank him myself!" I stated with a genuine smile,
"No need to embarrass him... coming to think of it, Alec reminds me Alot of you Sidharth! in so many ways. what if you met him and you two because so close! you're going to steal my friends from me." Aleeza replied smirking at me,
" haha very funny Sister, you're just showing off the fact that you have friends and I don't! remember I used to be the popular guy in school, everyone looked up at me in awe like I'm the moon...now I'm just cloud of rain everyone is trying to avoid, I can't even keep a lover." I spoke feeling a sharp pain in my chest, School was hell for both me and Aleeza, but i kept missing it for some reason.
" Shut up don't be so negative! 'm sure there's someone out there for you! someone who wants the best for you and understands your pain, just wait Sid. that person will show up, I'll drag them by force if I have to." My sister's words hilariously sounded more like a threat than a promise, it even visibly frightened Miss Sabrina who kept herself silent as she was watching us.
" Bas! why are you being scary Azee! you'll threaten people out of my life with that tone, damn. I'll drag them she says! are you a gangster sister? what do you have to sound like a criminal when it comes to taking care of my problems."
suddenly, one of our phones started ringing and judging by the ringtone, it was my sister's phone.
-Sabrina's pov:
out of nowhere as the Saha siblings were chatting together, a catchy song started playing, it was mis Aleeza's phone ringing apparently.
I watched her pick up the phone, unwillingly listening to her conversation " hello?...oh! Victah! good morning, how Are doing?"
[Victah? Victor?]
" wait what do you...ugh Videl right! knew girlie was going to rat me out anyways. yeah yeah, I'll be coming! don't worry my brother is doing fine now...no no I'm not busy"
[well if having me here as you guest isn't considered being busy that what would it be?]
" I said I'm coming means I'm Fucking coming Victor." Aleeza shouted making me and her brother exchange a look of concerned, thankfully I had covered Raphael's ears before he could hear her swearing.
[ what a hypocrite, she yelled at me the other day for cursing in front on my child yet there she goes!]
"No I'm coming with my own car, and I'm bringing company too...oh and BTW next time your little servants thinks they can outsmart me tell em to give up, I'm not easy to be fooled mister butler!" and with that Aleeza hanged up on Victor, if looks could kill then we would have been dead just by seeing her expression.
[ Aleeza's angry expression is more scarier than My Rodrigo's.]
" everyone, put some clothes on and get ready to come with me, and by everyone I mean everyone... Sabrina you can take whatever you want from our closet." Aleeza spoke before she stormed to her room.
"wait Sis! what about breakfast? where are we going?! Azazel wait!" Sidharth quickly ran after his sister, leaving me and my son standing alone equally Astonished.
"is princess mad at us mommy?" Raphael asked me with big confused eyes.
" no love, she is mad at your brother's protective servants." I replied smiling at my little angel, Raphael must have been unable to understand what I said by the looks of his face but he smiled back at me nonetheless.
[Children are truly angels, I Know I do not deserve them.]
...time skip...few minutes later,
-third person Pov:
Sabrina Wolf, now dressed in jeans and a plain gray shirt that originally belonged to Sidharth, stood protesting against being taken to Alec-Zander's house.
" no I shall not set a foot inside that car as long as it is heading to that house! you want Alec-Zander to kick me and my son out the moment he sees us! I am not going anywhere." Sabrina stated crossing her arms frustrated by Aleeza's proposition.
" your little sandwich seems to like the idea look at him he's already in the car." Aleeza said pointing at Raphael sitting in the back seat playing a game on Sidharth's phone.
Sabrina who thought Raphael was standing behind like usual came to reau her little boy choose a video game instead of his mother, "you have lured my child in how dare you! hmph fine! I will be going on the grounds that you will take full responsibility for anything bad that might happen." Said Sabrina still tightly crossing her arms.
" *mockingly* As you wish my lady! I'll do that so just stop being childish and get in the car or this will turn into a kidnapping." Aleeza replied back causing the red head woman to take her seriously, Sabrina found herself climbing in the backseat next to Raphael while Sidharth was sitting in the passenger seat.
-meanwhile...
- (Alec) Alec-zander's Pov:
i couldn't sleep last night for more than two hours, I was continually bothered by someone so I spent my time watching my favorite Bollywood movies as I sat down on my bed with both Sundar my pet monkey and Zandra, Victor's cat by my side.
Victor didn't go to sleep as well, he was mainly the reason why I couldn't get some shut eye either.
Afraid I might do something again to myself, every since he came back home from dropping Aleeza off in her place, he kept knocking on my door every two hours making sure I was okay.
and by morning I had enough, I decided to head to my library to read some of the new comics Videl had brought to me lately.
I usually read all sorts of books but whenever I'm seriously feeling down, I choose to lift my spirit up with something special.
Story books and especially comics, I prefer the ones that are less known with a heavy plot to it, most of the popular ones are tacky and repetitive in many ways.
with a pile of colorful books in my arms, I begin scanning the covers of each one of the comics Videl brought me to see which one I would read first.
I noticed that I dropped one comic with a intriguing cover, so I bent down to grab it.
" huh? 'Giant Cinnamon Roll' ?" I read the name of the comic book I dropped as I picked it up in my arms, I noticed there was many books with the same title.
I heard about this comic, on social media like Likestgram and FactBook, they said that the artstyle is quite beautiful but the plot is a bit of a rollercoaster, I was intrigued the most by the author's pen name, who names themselves 'Sidney land' anyways.
" Alright I suppose I'll be reading you first!" I said to myself slightly smiling at the book I. my hands.
....time skip...few hours later...
my lunch was placed on the table next to me as I was reading, " Sandwiches? perfect for reading I suppose." I said grabbing one for a bite.
I found myself captivated by this comic, sometimes laughing and sometimes being overwhelmed by second hand embarrassment for the main character as I finshed a volume after another, in a unimaginable speed.
The story depicts the Life of a producer Girl who's name is Simone Greens, An 8 feet tall lady ( over two meters) with a cinnamon roll persona and an obsession with cats and the color green like me, her life full of surprises and awkward moments as her hight causes her to be feared by strangers untill they get to know how sweet she actually is.
the cutest thing about the story, is her obvious major crush on the 5 foot tall Singer named Akai (approximately a 1.5 meter) whom she is currently working on a sad song with him about his late girlfriend.
" oh no you two I swear! I can't deal with this!" I got easily frustrated again by the main characters constant moments of misunderstandings.
" you're enjoying yourself, good for you although I'm not sure why wouldn't you just ready the comics on websites instead of buying the printed version." Alex said as she walked to the chair next to me, she sat down and leaned to my side a little.
" when it comes to reading I prefer the feeling of paper in my hands, also this is good way to support the original artists, Don't you think so Axe."
"Alec, how are you feeling today?"
" wow you changed the subject quickly! I'm doing fine, feeling less suicidal than yesterday at least... say? why the funny tone?"
" Listen, about Aleeza...*sighting* Alec are you paying attention to me?" Alex's voice sounded concerned enough for me to close the book I was reading, I don't enjoy being interrupted while reading but she's my best friend, I had to make an exception.
" I'm all ears, what about Aleeza? did she kill my father yet?"
" don't joke like that! she's, well she always means good. her intentions I mean, she's into helping others even if it's way beyond her ability to do so, and that's why she does crazy things to achieve her goals, like challenging your satanic dad."
" what are you thinking Alex? you didn't just come to tell me she's got good intentions dear, am I right? "
" no matter how insane what she does in the upcoming days, I need you to trust her or at least Don't get in her way. Aleeza is more than capable of doing things that you and I combined are unable to think of."
" what do you mean?"
"you'll see for yourself, she's outside."
-meanwhile....
-third person pov:
outside the green manor that Alec-Zander and his servants occupy, was a half yellow half pink car parked right outside in front on f the house entrance, a very angry looking Aleeza slammed the driver's seat door with all of her force.
Her anger sparked as she spotted the maid with orange peel dyed hair, the equally furious Videl approached Aleeza with a piercing glare.
"Well if it isn't Miss crime junkie herself? what do we owe you the pleasure of your arrival?! came again for a snack? " Videl spoke trying but failing to hold her displeasure with having Aleeza back in the mansion after her unexplained behavior the day before, Victor has already warned her not to pick a fight with Aleeza until she can explain herself and her actions.
" Keep your sarcastic comments to yourself Priya, I'm not here for you...where is Victor?" Aleeza immediately replied without even making an eye contact with the taller woman.
Appearing as always in ghostly manners from and out of nowhere, Victor the trustworthy Butler greeted his guests, "Good day everyone! I apologize for being late. Ah! I must thank you for bringing Lady wolf and her son with you Aleeza, I was not sure that lady Sabrina would actually accept accompanying you...but here you are!"
" the main question is how the fuck you knew she was at my house...Victah?" Aleeza Asked glaring her eyes out at Victor who returned her glares with an endearing pearly whites smile.
