CHAPTER 4.

When Acario and the others arrived inside his room he threw Aitan on the wall because of anger for what he done to Alexis.

"How many times should I tell you to leave her alone first?!" Acario asked and walk towards Aitan and grabbed him by his shirt.

"What were you thinking?!" Acario punched Aitan on his face and he sat down on the floor. Aitan wiped his lips.

"I told you to leave her alone but you didn't listen. You're a fucking prince and you should act like one!" Acario said again.

"I just want to know something that's why I did that. She has a dream and I am curious about that." Aitan answered.

"All of us are curious about her dream but we should act normal and try not to scare her." Acario answered.

"We shouldn't scare her or else, we can't gain her trust and we can't protect her if that happens." He added.

"We should calm down. We can give Aitan a punishment because of what he'd done to Alexis." Ace suggested.

"I agree with Ace, Acario. We should just give him a punishment rather than hurting him physically." Don agreed with Ace's suggestion.

"This is the perfect punishment for him." Ares said while smirking and he grabbed a collar from his pocket. He gave it to Acario.

That collar has a power wherein if someone who's wearing it did something wrong, the collar will shock that person.

"Damn. Give me any punishment but not that! Please! I won't do that again!" Aitan screamed but Acario didn't listen.

"Please hold him." Acario plead. Ace and Alric went towards Aitan and held him on his arms and shoulders. Aitan tried to shake them away from he can't.

"For you to learn your lesson, little brother." Acario said then he put the collar on Aitan's neck. Ace and Alric already let go of him.

"Damn. I hate this." Aitan commented and he frowned. The others laughed at him and they went out of Acario's room.

Acario went out of his room to ask Alric to check upon Alexis to make sure that she was not hurt a while ago.

•*•*•*•*

Alexis woke and sat down on the bed without remembering how and when she fell asleep. All she remembers is that she's eating with everyone then that's that.

She looked at the clock and it's already 5 AM in the morning. She held her forehead then closed her eyes.

She got up from the bed and went inside the bathroom to wash up and ready herself for the day.

•*•*•*•*

She walks down the stairs while yawning and she encountered Ares in the living room while reading books. She thought that the book is all about Greek Mythologies.

"Good morning." She greeted him softly. He looked back at her and smiled. He closed the book that he was reading and went towards her.

"How are you? What do you feel?" He asked her with concern. "I'm fine but I don't remember anything what happened after eating." She answered.

"You passed out again and we didn't know why." Ares stated.

"I'm afraid now. I feel like I have a disease that I don't know." She commented. She's very nervous when she heard Ares' answer.

Do I have a disease? Why am I always passing out? She asked in her mind.

"Don't worry, Alric checked you up last night and you're healthy. You're just too stress and over-worked." He answered.

"Alric is a doctor so, don't worry. He's the best doctor that you can find her in our place." Alexis nodded.

Ares pets her hair to make sure that everything is okay and she's safe whatever happens.

"I have to go to the kitchen for me to help Don." Alexis stated then went towards the kitchen.

When she arrived there, she saw Don already starting cooking for our breakfast. I walked towards him.

"Good morning." She greeted him and he look back at her. "Good morning." He greeted her back, she started helping him by cutting all of the vegetables.

"Are you feeling okay? You passed out again last night."

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." She answered while cutting the vegetables. Alric said that I'm fine, all I need is to take a rest for a bit.

"if you're not feeling okay just tell Alric. He's the doctor here in the house and he can help you." She nodded.

"Ares, told me about Alric and I understand that. Thank you for all of your concerns." She answered and they went silent.

•*•*•*•*

They're now eating silently and I'm still thinking about what happened last night because I don't really remember anything.

"Don't worry about what happened last night. It's not really that important." Alric commented and she nodded.

"I was just worried because I might have a disease that I didn't know." Alexis answered worriedly.

"We know that you're really worried about your condition but, don't worry. I already checked you up last night and you don't have any disease." Alric assured her.

"I see... Then, I won't worry about that anymore." Alexis answered then didn't bother about what happened last night.

"For you not to be worried anymore. I'll find some ingredients and I'll make you something nutritious." Don commented.

"Thank you. I appreciate your help." Alexis stated shyly then she continued eating. Aitan is staring intently at her but he didn't say anything.

"Tell us if something is bothering you again and we'll listen." Acario stated and Alexis nodded at him.

They continued eating their breakfast silently while Alexis is stopping herself from worrying about last night.

•*•*•*•*

After Alexis left for school, Acario went towards Alric to talk to him about Alexis. He's also worried about her condition.

"Is she really okay?" Acario asked. "Yeah, she's fine. Don't worry about her." Alric assured him.

"All we need to do is to not trigger her by making her feel that she's not safe with us anymore." Alric stated.

"And besides, as long as she's safe, she'll be okay and that won't happen again to us nor to her." He added.

"I agree. We need to discipline Aitan before he repeats what he done last night to her." Acario said then sighed.

"Is it really okay not to tell her the truth? I mean, she doesn't remember everything what happened." Acario said.

"Don't worry, just do what I said and she'll be safe. We can't force her to remember something that she can't or else, we'll trigger her again." Alric answered.

"I got that. I trust you with that because you know this stuff and you're my brother. Even though you're a psycho sometimes." Acario answered and Alric laughed.

"Psycho, huh? That hurts bro." Alric commented and went on his laboratory that is on the underground of their house.

Acario shook his head while smiling then went out of the mansion to go to his company because he has a lot of work to do there.

•*•*•*•*

Ares is inside his room while reading some books when he felt some chills down to his spine. He looks around until he saw someone standing in front of him.

"W-who are you?" He asked the man who's staring intently at him. He can't see the man's face because his looking down to the floor.

"You should... protect her... from harm..." The man said but Ares didn't hear him clearly. He creased his forehead.

"What? What did you just say?" Ares asked confused. The man disappeared and left Ares confused and didn't understand what the man said.

He immediately went out of his room to find his brothers to tell them about the man that he saw.
