As the morning start her plan for the day settled, after breakfast Vivien sat by the window reading the epistolary book, she invaded her own world assuming she is on the characters world, illusion.

After the dusk of orange, red and pink flares coloured the sky with a rainbow of three,Vivien saw those from the window, cracking a smile before going to shower, and then was breakfast with the whole family. She ate, ignoring all the judging eyes of the mother, she ignored the smirk the other mother gave, she ignored everything and ate just like Elmer did, before she went to her room.

Vivien was adapted to the happy and laughing family of hers and now she was being forced to get accustomed to the family that barely takes without fighting and making fool out of one another. It was like she was the only one who don't have a person to answer too, and then there is Xavier's wife,Sia.

Sia's mother in law was always cruel and bad with her.

Oh! Vivien thinks, I think we would get along just so well!

But she knew that that was absurd, Sia was quiet and so mysterious, she doesn't speak often. Had has this happen after getting married to Xavier? Vivien couldn't really tell what she was feeling.

Every day, the day goes by dreading in this mansion, sometimes defending herself in front of her mother in law, and then as the night comes she would sleep. Good thing she had a plan today, however Elmer had told her to stay here inside the mansion and even set her guards to follow her everywhere, she was going to go all alone to her brother, like she promised Alec.

As the clock struck 6, Vivien stood from her long seating position and start wondering inside the walking closet. Her lips were a little dry, her face lack her usual jovial mask, her ponytail was messy and her cloth containing a shirt and a short had been her daily wearing.

She wore her new blue dress, finishing her look with a necklace in order to fill the blank space around her neck and chest that her dress left free, she look at her flawless makeup and smiled proudly. Clicking her white heel, matching the border of her blue dress, she peek outside noticing there was no one except a maid.

With her head held high she start walking to the garage twirling the car key with the same hand that she held her bag at, while on her other hand she had her phone. As she reach the garage and she got the right car, Vivien genuinely smiled, now she was to see her family.

Taking her seat on the black Audi Q8 drivers seat she knocked her mind and start turning the cars wheel and to the mansion's door she flew. An execrable worry and nervousness start heating her when she remembered the door could only be opened from inside the mansion,she stood thinking, holding the camera didn't get a view of her which was ridiculous on her side for the camera's eyes was intently gazing at her. Trying to seat still and not squirt,Vivien gave a hand wave to the person inside.

Maybe it was a maid, or maybe it was Xavier trying to help her,or just maybe it was Sia having empathy on her that opened the large metallic door. Smiling at it again, she drove to her destination.

Xavier and her had been a highschool mates, she remember him clearly, and he did too. Even at college they were at one campus, a part of Vivien's squad he was. He had blamed her on not noticing him at the wedding, when she hugged him in front of all the day she came - the same reason why her mother-in-law hated her.

Xavier had asked her about Carlos, which she remember shaking her head as answer. Her want to divorce Elmer was growing ever day and minute that is passing, not because of her boyfriend who left her demanding that she wait for him but for herself.

Vivien was now only thinking of herself, she didn't care what her parents would say, how their name would be out for the world to mock, she didn't care about the husband that never cared for her, or for his families name that would be messed with!

What she was doing was keeping her head above the water, she wasn't happy, she was sad! Vivien didn't want to be sad, her youth missed her and she did too. Elmer, her even supposedly husband doesn't notice her, his mother worse always nags her for everything she does. The house she lives in, that is much more than just hell, the walls speak of malicious deeds made behind them, the roof screams wicked and the lights were better switched off.

Vivien wasn't fool,she knew that the house she wanted to call home was way too far from a home, it was a place of torture, she knew that the people were cruel, and the society around them screams danger, but she didn't really know what they do, she couldn't see who they really are.

As she teaches her destination she sigh, faking a huge smile on her face and getting out of the car with her silver purse and her phone, watching Alec. Alec was in his navy reddish brown suit, along with his red shoe,his hair was glued and his shirt was folded revealing a tone of muscles.

She smirk, realising that he came straight out of work, then walk to him with elegant and delicate steps of hers. His smile reflected of happiness when he see her, the waitress who he had been ignoring for her open flirt frown at Vivien for she caught the attention she wanted to receive ever since Alec stepped a foot inside the hotel.

Alec stood to welcome his sister by hugging her tightly, oh how he missed her, she pulled his familiar scent in and pulled away, seating beside the chair he was seated at.

"I'll have a chocolate milkshake and he would most likely have rosemarycano!" She smirk at her smiling brother before cracking her lips upward to the waitress.

"Is that so, sir?" The waitress questioned ignoring Vivien who rolled her eyes.

"I thought people were all given ears, specially waitresses!" Alec didn't glance at the waitress, but at his sister trying to figure why she was so quiet.

Vivien knew Alec loved Rosemarycano which was Americano that elevates the usual Campari and vermouth base with the herbal, woody aroma of a bruised Rosemary sprig.

"Mind to speak, Viv?" Alec questioned his eyebrow creased in a calm manner.

"What shall I speak?" Vivien questions, realizing it was Alec she was trying to fool.

As the saying, A fool who acts to be fool knows a fool trying to fool the fool. Cause he was never a fool!

"OK,don't tell me! I'll know from Elmer."

"You will do no such thing!" Her voice was firm, but she knew that she was wavering from inside.

Alec's brow furrowed, noticing the edge of her voice.

"Is it him?" He questions.

"No-no it isn't, would you do me a favor Alec?" She was entreating him right when he nod, "You remember Xavier right?"

"Yeah, I do. The chubby guy from highschool!"

"Yeah him, " Vivien restrained a laugh with a smile, "did you know he has a step mother?"

"Nope, it was his mom and father only, as long as I remember, why?"

"Just wondering, did you meet him at the wedding?"

"Yea, I did, he's grown man you know, he even has a wife!"

"I know, Alec, for who was he there?"

"Said he was a family, I thought you invited him!"

Vivien nodded, clicking her tongue.

"Could you search me about his family background? Not from Google account but..send Hyme, I am sure he will know about it."

"Hyme has a job Vivien, he doesn't do stupid research's of a persons background!"

"Pretty please, I'll owe you one." As another waitress came giving what they had ordered,both kept quiet,Vivien with a puppy eyes.

Alec smiled politely at the waitress thanking her,glaring at his sister then, refusing.

"Alec!" Vivien screamed frustrated attracting some eyes including the waitress from before.

"On one condition!"
