"Seriously. The attempt was made countless times" Remigio sad half-jokingly which resulted in his older brother sending him an intimidating glare.

"Can someone start explaining what the hell is going on?" Milo asked in a serious voice.

"From you," here he looked at his brothers with a stern gaze, "I expect the ability to control your emotions. You are to accept information coldly, no matter how surprising it is if you ever want to work for me, understood?"  Boys nodded in response.

As the brothers were talking to each other Eliana took a moment to look at them all.  Milo had ash brown, straight hair. They were contrasting with Remi's dark curls. The skin colour of all Vincenti brothers was similar. They were tanned, and their eyes were brown and yet different from each other. The darkest eye colour belonged to Rafael, whose brown irises fused with black pupils, then Remi's irises fell into an amber shade, and Milo's were like hazelnut.

Remi wore a black leather jacket, a T-shirt of the same colour, plain jeans, and heavy black boots. His brother, on the other hand, wore a loose white linen shirt with a few open buttons, and a leather bracelet on his left hand just above the watch with a thin strap. His pants were beige and he wore white sneakers. In other words, both brothers looked completely different yet similar, considering that they were the same age they must have been fraternal twins.

"Okay, speaking of our business," said Milo in a well-balanced voice. "Your wife's role is crucial to its functioning, why didn't you say you were going to get married? Why wasn't Eliana introduced to us?"

"My relationship with Eliana has a short-term it's mutually beneficial arrangement, a deal of which details are none of your concern" 

"And as your arrangement takes place we need to live under the same roof with that brat?" Remi looked at Casey with disgust. 

"If the vision of spending time with a 16-year-old girl scares you, you are not suitable as a babysitter, let alone working in our company for the second time, I am forced to remind you to control yourself you won't like what will happen if I will be forced to give you a third reminder" Rafael said, looking at him with a warning in his eyes.

Speaking of control or the lack of it, Eliana was experiencing déjà vu. Her sister was dragged into the living room once again. 

Casey's problem was that the bodyguards working for Rafael were, if not tall and big, really muscular.

Eliana understand that their appearance was meant to act as a deterrent, and it would work on her, if she saw these men in a dark alley I would start running.

Whatever Casey did, she didn't have a way out of their grasps,

"Let me go! I said, let go of me! Eliana, tell him to let me go! " 

"Can he let her go?" Eliana directed my question to Rafael knowing that he was the decision maker in this house only when he nodded slightly as if on cue, did the man release Casey. 

"Thank you, Marco, you can go back to your station" 

"Did you enjoy the walk?" Remigio smirked to provoke her, but Casey only gave him a scornful look. 

"Can someone explain to me what's going on?" She asked irritated. 

"The conversation has already taken place. You were not present of your own choice, so I assume you don't need any explanations. "After this sentence, Rafael stood up, signaling that it was time to leave.  Remi started laughing at Casey's shocked expression, and I sighed heavily. It will be a long six months. 

"Eliana, maybe you can enlighten me, what's going on?"

"Maybe you would find out something if you answered my calls," Eliana replied.

"Seriously? So you're on his side? "My sister asked incredulously. 

"I'm not on anyone's side!" 

"Eliana" Rafael paused, "you and Casey will be assigned security from Monday. Please don't leave the house this weekend," Rafael said in a tone that showed that the conversation was over. 

"Security? What is he talking about?" Casey asked.

Eliana was surprised as well. She gave Raphael a questioning look. 

"We will talk about it tomorrow. Enough for today, go unpack"
