Author POV
"What are you doing?" Lilith's voice comes into the room holding the kit. "Oh, I didn't mean to sniff around it just caught my attention" he explains showing her the necklace. trying to calm himself 'she is your sister you didn't do anything wrong'. Her eyes scan the gold jewelry piece. And a flash of memory comes into her mind.
"Remember sis a bit of madness is key"
"I always knew I'm just a side character in my story"
She shakes it off and sits next to him. "It is beautiful, it was specially made" she added. She places the kit next to her opening it. "If you don't mind me asking what do the A and D stand for?" He asks anxiously "Athena and Derek," she says their name for the first time in eight years they almost taste foreign on her tongue." They were good friends of mine" she declared. "Were? I'm sorry" he says realizing the truth. "It's okay that was long ago," she says says "now let's clean that wound of yours" "yeah sure" he agreed not
wanting to press on the old wound.
He hands her the necklace and she looks at it for a second before she slides it into the drawer of the nightstand. She scoots forward and some liquid sanitizer pours on a piece of cotton. She cautiously puts her hand on his forehead and pushes away his raven hair. "That might sting a little" she warns and he just noded. She presses the cotton against the blood and he flinches a little.
She finishes cleaning it and throws away the bloody cotton. Then carefully inspects it "what did he hit you with?" She asks "I think with the bottom of the broken machine gun," he says flinching again as the cold cream lands on the wound "huh?, Well it doesn't look like it needs any stitches so that cream will help it heal and I am just going to cover it with a bandage." She says applying the bandage. "Thanks. Now it's your turn you're still bleeding" he says still worried about her.
"Oh no I cleaned it while I was in the bathroom and covered it should have stopped bleeding by now I will just have to stitch it," she says taking off her jacket and dress shirt. He turns his head away "I'm not naked buddy" she says
He looks back she is in a sports bra and boxers. Then his eyes land on the scar that is in the middle of her stomach inches away from her belly button then he notices her scars decorating her muscles. and especially her snake tattoo on her left arm.
"That definitely needs stitches" She commented checking the deep cut. Alexie looks at it and cringes just by looking at it. She sits on the bed and takes out the equipment and starts sanitizing and starts with the first stitch inserting the needle in her skin and taking it out the other way. And her brother watches her in awe. And he notices the technique she used. she stitches instead of inserting it on the surface and taking it out she does it from the inside of the wound until pulling it tightly in the end she looks like a professional surgeon. "This method is used by plastic surgeons to decrease the formation of scars"
*Okay so first IDK if that info is right but I heard it once and googled it so don't blame me if it's wrong. blame the internet*
"Wow," he says wide-eyed "you gotta teach me that too" "I think you should make a list of the things you want me to teach you," she says smirking forcing a dimple. "Noted" that's all he says before he goes back on watching like a child watching cartoons. She chuckles quietly going back to stitching the other one on her leg.

Back to Kazimir in his bedroom.
Kazimir POV
I lay on my back while the doctor is taking care of the bullet. I can't help but remember the conversation I had with my brother earlier.
Earlier
My blood boil as I see the caller ID what does he wants now my dad's last phone call wasn't promising I swear if he is calling to talk me through the marriage thing I am gonna lose it. I feel a hand on my shoulder I know it's Lilith but I don't look I am only thinking about should I take it or not. Her voice comes into view "what about you take this and I will wait for you in the meeting room" she says and she adds something about the time but I don't focus and leaves.
I take a deep breath. here we go. I answer the phone. bringing it to my ear.
"Kazimir" I hear my older brother address.
"Nicolas" I reply coldly.
"I'm calling to inform you about our next business gathering event that is being held in two weeks" he informs
"Why didn't you send me an email like you always do" I question
"Because that's not the only reason why I called. I also called to check on the progress between you and sister-in-law" he declares making my eyebrows frown where did all that care come from?
"Bullshit you wouldn't care less," I say and blood flows through my veins.
"True, but Dad really insists on calling you and you know how he wants things to go in his way," he says and he is right and that's how he dealt with my father just doing whatever he says and that made him on father's good side. I was the youngest of three and the rebellious child.
"Just marry the chick man. it wouldn't hurt besides she doesn't have that bad curves or a face think of it as a good fuck" he chuckles and that was the last straw. he and what so Called dad just treated woman as a hole to shove their dick in. My dad always cheated on my mom and she knew but didn't leave.
why? you ask. two things, reputation and you guessed it money. If marriage is just about body and face I would have married anyone. sure Lilith is beautiful of course with those eyes of hers she could pull any man on his knees I can't deny it but I don't love her or even had an innocent crush on her and we know each other since kindergarten I think that says enough. She is like the sibling I never had and that's what I love about her.
"First, who the fuck are you to tell me what to do you don't have any power over me. second, don't you ever talk about her like that. Third, you know what? fuck that business whatever I am not coming beside you won't even notice I am not there like you always do" I argued.
"Don't you dare raise your voice at me I am you-" he tries to argue back but I cut him off "don't pull that fucking Big brother card on me. it won't work anymore and you can't do anything you know why because you're not in charge not yet even being father's favorite you still don't have enough power over him. And father can't get rid of me that easily because I know something isn't really pretty about you both so be careful who you are dealing with" I threaten before hanging up on him.
I take my breath wow it felt like I was rapping or something. Thinking about the secret my stomach drops. Thinking of it makes chills run down my spine and it makes me cringe so hard.
But that secret won't come out no matter what and they don't know that they think the only reason I kept it Hidden is to use it to black Mail them
but.
The truth is that secret will cost me, my only friend.
And I am not risking it.
