“What was that for?” Monica asked angrily removing Ace’s hands that was wrapped around her,
“What was what for?” Ace questioned looking unbothered.
“That..” she pointed angrily.
“You told your mother that we’re dating, while we’re not,” she yelled angrily.
“First of all I don’t think you should be raising your voice on me..” he began in a low, dangerous tone.
“Secondly that’s not a big deal..” he voiced out.
“That’s not a big deal” she repeated mumbling under her breath,
“Hmm, hmm, you have to start living with that for now, my fake girlfriend..” he said in a domineering tone.
“For what?” Monica questioned, why does it have to be her,
“You saw how happy my mother was a few minutes ago..” he began walking close to her,
“I’m also sure you saw the smile on her face, it should remain that way, so don’t try anything stupid..” he warned sternly, if the was one person Ace loved those in the world, it was his mother, amongst all his brothers he was the closest to Celeste, and would never do anything to hurt her.
“If you know you didn’t want to hurt her, you could have come prepared for this, there are lots of women ready to jump into this opportunity, the best thing was for you to employ one to act as your girlfriend, not pronounce me one.” She concluded scornfully, she had only two main reasons for coming here, one was to see her mother who she missed so much, her mother Samantha works as a maid in britaris, giving this is the only chance to come here she grabbed that opportunity, the second was to be there for Adia.
“Trust me, I totally forgot about that,” he confessed,
“There’s no big deal in this, just give her the right impression and make her happy,” he told her.
“And what if I don’t want to do it..” she challenged him, trying to be bold.
“You don’t want to dare me..” he growled. I’m a low dangerous tone, sending chills down Monica’s spine. One thing she has come to find out about Ace is that he can be friendly and very deadly at the same time.
“Ever, don’t try me Monica…” came his low intimidating voice, as Monica gulped loudly in fear.
“And how sure are you that she will fall for this, I mean the truth will come out one day, besides there is lots of proof that we’re not dating, what if your mother finds out about that?” She asked, referring to the people that came with.
“It’s none of Arion’s business, same with Sebastian, they don’t care, really, that wouldn’t even give a damn..”
“And if you’re thinking about Adia, I can always talk to her, at least she’s mature and would understand me..” he states, smacking his lips, as Monica glared at him, he indirectly calling her stupid.
“The rest of the employees won’t care less also, do everything is up to you, take care of everything” he said,
“It’s just for a short period of time, hmm” he informed, once they’re able to prove Logan’s innocence, which they’re already working on, they’ll live this place, besides being in britaris only bring back those memories that Sebastian never wants to remember, so he’s sure Sebastian would send a very short time here, and get done with things as soon as possible.
“It’s not as if anything is going to happen between us, avoid me as much as you can, hmm, we’re total strangers..” he listed out to her
“So be a good girl and make no mistakes.”he concluded, patting her shoulders before walking out of her.
Monica stood dumbfounded watching his fading silhouette, as he left, how does he expect her to be his fake girlfriend, is he seriously right upstairs, grunting loudly she looked around the building, trying to catch sight of herother, the person she really needs to meet the most.

Sebastian leaped to the top of the rooftop, where Arion was already waiting for him.
“You sent for me” he said, landing beside Arion, as he took a good look at britaris from where he stood, this place holds so many memories, he really never supported the idea of coming here.
“Yes..” Arion replied, puffing out smoke from his mouth.
“Do you care for?” He offered Sebastian a cigarette and a lighter which he accepted, as he lot the cigarette on.
“So what’s the problem?” Sebastian questioned taking a smoke.
“I’ll be going on a trip” Arion announced,
“To where?”
“Orleans..” came Arion’s short reply as Sebastian turned his gaze to meet his brother’s.
“What are you doing in Orleans..?” He asked curiously.
“I’ve been making some researches over the months trying to find a witch, and I finally did..” he announced, gaining Sebastian full attention, Mickelson had been the one helping Arion on this research to find a witch, that’s the sole reason Arion really wanted Mickelson out from where he was locked up.
“You found a witch!!!” Sebastian exclaimed, both shock and anticipation swallowing him whole.
“Not really though, I just discovered that magic was practiced in that area, so there’s a chance a witch resides there..” he explained as Sebastian’s jaw worked.
“How do you intend on finding one?, we aren’t even sure if…”
“No negativity brother..” Arion interrupted his brother.
“There is no harm in trying, and we have to save Adia, even if it means tearing the whole of Orleans down..” Arion remarked confidently.
“Do you think La Fey’s sisters are still alive?” Sebastian asked,
“I’m not sure, but I’m certain a witch still exists, which can only be one of the La Fey’s right?” Arion reasoned,
“Moreau had long given up on finding them..”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“I know, but we can’t give up right, besides I had another vision, same with Ace..” Arion voiced out, the gift of seeing has always been part of him and his brother Ace, because they were twins.
“What did you see this time around?”
“I’m not sure, whatever we saw was vague, it wasn’t clear, but all I’m sure of is that what we’re seeking lies in Orleans..” he spoke, just when he had this vision, Mickelson came with the news that magic was spotted in Orleans, that’s why he’s confident that their answer might be there.
“Thanks brother, I owe you one..”
“Anytime..”
“Arhh..” Sebastian signed deeply,
“Britaris has changed a lot..” he commented, taking a look at the city.
“I know right”
