Mouth agape Adria sat on his bed all the truth she didn't knew hitting her like tone of bricks, she knew she wasn't going mad, everything made sense all of a sudden. Henry could see rage boiling in his sister eyes before she could do something stupid he sat near her shaking his head no.

"Shhh, think about it like this. It's for the best. Things was set to be what they are. See what happened lately. Why do you think she started out of nowhere going around the world barely staying in her own home. What was the result?"

Squinted her eyes brainstorming over the matter, Adria looked thoughtful for a moment her head down then it snapped up realisation hitting her.

"Wait, you are saying... God!"

"Yes, she tried to create a gap between them, to give her her life back, making everything to have her independent but failed lamentably. Isabella need her in her life, she's everything for her... I think that it is the same for Sera." Nodding his head he opened his hands palms up like stating the obvious.

"This is mess up." Biting her lower lip his sister said taking in the differences that separated Sera and her sister, she knew people will talk. Which more than anything else frightened her. She could still remember how they were on them, Isa was too fragile to support it.

Looking back at her brother who always seems to be the voice of the reason despite his young age. She just waited for his conclusion.

"Not really, she never signed  papers or anything concerning us nor married our Dad. She made it clear since the beginning that she wasn't going to assume any kind of model place in our life. Only the outside world believe the illusion of the perfection they created in theirs own mind. We know the truth let act on it."

The dismay was visible on the older one as was the gear turning in full speed at the remembrance of the fact.

"Dad will never allow that, dude they were together for what..." Her brother chuckle made her stopped to stare at him questioningly.

"That is exactly what I was saying, they never were together, in fact if you think about it unbiasedly you will see that Isabella was the only reason she accepted the deal back then. I remembered her facial expression the day she first saw her, I asked myself that day how someone could go from cold to all soft in a matter of second. I didn't know back then that it will be my dayly life from there."

Nodding his head at how her face was priceless thinking it through all over again the woman shoulders sank scolding herself for being blind for so long.

"Dad took advantage of it I we are honest sometimes remember he would send Isa to ask her something whenever he knew she would say no to him. She would complied everytime untill the pup understood she was been played and started saying no."

The twins laughed at the memory of that day where Isabella first said no, they remembered how their father  arguing then Isa responded that if he wanted sign his paperwork to be sign he could go ask it to Sera himself. She was seventeen  well aware of the woman being wrapped around her finger and not allowing no one to use that.

"Man, he was like are you serious right now? While she stood her ground firmly. She's someone else. Dad could have popped a vein." Laughing hard still seeing as if it was yesterday how he had reacted he could have feinted that day.

"Talking about him, did you saw him this morning? I haven't since yesterday."

Checking his slender figure in the mirror Henry glanced out just to see Isabella still there now laying on the grass face up then walked toward his bed where he leaned back on the bedhead.

"I saw him earlier in the morning yesterday he seemed piss though. You know that when Sera is here his bedroom is in the other aisle of the house which is in front of your room. Conclusion, if you didn't see him that means he certainly slept out."

Nodding understandingly Adria sighed rolling on her brother bed.

"We had a great life though." Peeking out of the pillow her face was hidden in, her muffled voice came out pensively.

"Yeah, totally she could have been rough on us but she never did. Our own parents didn't treat us as near as she did. Now whatever happens is none of our business. She treats her good that is the important matter."

Balling herself on the mattress Adria nodded meeting her brother eyes. She knew her father did his best to take care of them but he was a weak man, never protect them from his abusive family. Sera did.

She cast them off of her house, threatening to lock them all who would come near them again. Being the rich woman she was no one dare to bother them again, they suddenly became socially fit the same bullies trying to befriend them.

"Right, us too. Us too remember that. Hmmm, you know it is Isa birthday in two days. I haven't pay her gift, I will today. That's the reason why I want to see Dad being who he is he certainly don't have it in his mind." Sighing deeply she sank in the pillow.

"Don't worry about that. Sera certainly already tackled that. You know when she was nineteen dad completely forgot, she bought the motor... aargh, the red one making it pass like he did it. I swear! I caught her in the garden that day speaking to Dad telling him to face call Isa to wish her happy birthday talking about the motor just as I entered the room Isa received a face call."

" No way! " Sitting straight hearing that, Adria shook her head deceived by her father.

"Yes dear and it wasn't the only time. So don't stress, a simple gift will do the trick. It a chance we don't have a diva as sister. With all the gifts she already received and will she could have been a nightmare for us."

Laughing at his words they settled in his bed Adria sneaking her face deep in the pillow him taking his phone to play one of his favorite game, the comfortable life they had was all because of the owner of the house they knew it, what was about to happen they didn't want to think about, what will be no one can change.
