"Aliana! What the fuck are you doing?!" A loud shout rang out in the lobby and all eyes turned to the source. Aliana's eyes widened as she looked at the person who yelled.
"Dad?" Aliana backed up towards Cassiel who wrapped his arms around her tightly, "what are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to Viktor, but you didn't answer my question young lady." Jiel said with a firm tone.
"No, you don't get to use that tone anymore. You lost that when you left your daughter and wife." Aliana turned buried her head in Cassiel's chest, and Cassiel glared at Jiel.
"Jiel, just like you to create a large disturbance." Viktor said coldly as he approached the lobby, "sorry Aliana for the disturbance," he smiled softly at her and then turned to Cassiel, "take her home." He nodded and moved his arm from her waist to around her shoulder and walked her out.
"Viktor, I-"
"You don't get to talk Jiel. You are a coward and you will never be welcomed in here ever again." Viktor said coldly as his eyes were aflame with fury, "out! Before I kick you out."
"Vik-"
"I said out!!" Viktor yelled and his neck muscles bulged. Jiel gritted his teeth turning around and proceeded to exit the lobby. After he left, Viktor took a deep breath and looked at the people in the lobby, "I'm sorry everyone for the disruption, please carry on." With that Viktor walked back to his office. Eliena looked at Samaael with a sad look on her face.
"I feel bad for Aliana having to deal with that." Samaael looked down with a small smile.
"She'll be okay, she's got Cassiel." Samaael kissed the top of her head. Across the room stood Burner, Ballad, and Morain.
"I can't believe he had the guts to come here and yell at Anni." Morain gritted his teeth as he clenched and unclenched his fists in an attempt to calm down.
"Jiel, I believe is some sort of sadist because he keeps hurting her and shows no remorse..." Ballad raked a hand through his hair, all three brothers were intensely aggravated by Jiel's reappearance.
"Hey, Morain," Morain looked at Burner, "let's drop you off at your shop, the busy-ness will take your mind off of Jiel." Morain nodded in response as he followed his brothers out of Headquarters and into Burner's grey Escalade.

Aliana sat in the passenger seat of Cassiel's Jeep blankly staring out the window.

"Ali, talk to me please." Cassiel glanced at her with a sad look once he stopped at a red light.

"I don't want to talk Cas...please leave it..." Cassiel sighed, but didn't push it. He figured that she would want some time and that he could give to her. He then tightened his grip around the steering wheel as he pressed on the gas when the light turned green.

"I just want you to know that I will always be here for you no matter what," Aliana finally turned to meet Cassiel's gaze with a blank and glazed look in her eyes.

"I know Cas. I know you will never leave me, I don't know how to deal with this. My dad popping out of nowhere and me living with you now, and then him showing up at Headquarters? It is like he is trying to take control of my life again, what's next? He'll show up at your house and just take me away?" Cassiel held her gaze then she looked away towards the windshield, "Cas! Look out!" She pointed towards the windshield. He looked and quickly slammed on the brakes to avoid from running the red light. Aliana's seat belt slammed her against the seat and held her there, she breathed heavily and Cassiel looked at her with sadness on his face.
"Are you okay, Ali?"Cassiel asked with worry evident in his voice.
"Yeah..." When the light turned green, Cassiel drove to the nearest parking lot and parked.
"I'm so sorry Ali...I almost got us in a car crash." He placed his right hand on her thigh, tears were slowly welling in her eyes. He unbuckled his seat belt and she did the same, when he held out his arms, she spent no time crawling into his arms. Cassiel wrapped his arms tightly around her as she began crying, he whispered sweet nothings into her ear to calm her down.
"Cas...." Aliana whimpered as she clutched his shirt tightly, burying her face in his chest.
"It's okay, Ali. I'm here and I will never leave you. If someone takes you from me, I will stop at nothing to have you back safely in my arms. You are my life, my world, my everything, and I won't let anyone take away what is mine." Aliana blushed and Cassiel nuzzled his face in her neck.
"Cas." Aliana smiled and looked up at him, "really? Is that what I am?" Cassiel cupped both her face.
"Yes, don't ever doubt what you are to me. You are my girl and only my girl." Aliana smiled again, brighter this time as she buried her face in his chest again. He stroked her hair and rested his head on top of hers.

He gazed at the couple in the car, so sickening. Their display of affection was just so sickening. How could people deal with it? He didn't know nor care, really? He ran his hand through his hair then looked through the window again, watching Aliana and Cassiel. His phone rang and displayed a blocked number, he accepted the call and placed his phone next to his ear.
"Hey."
"Don't 'hey' me. Have you gotten your objective done?" A voice replied.
"Yes, I have King. I will get it done, no problem."
"Good, Cassiel will never know what hit him. Report back to me when you get it done, I am not patient!"
"Yes. I got it King, leave it to me. I'll have it done in the next couple days." With that he hung up the phone and looked out the window for Cassiel's Jeep and it was gone. He cursed as he shifted into drive and exited the parking lot, "shit! How could I have not notice him leaving? He had to pass me to get out!" He gritted his teeth and made his way to the neighborhood that Cassiel lived in.

"Jeremy!" Aliana shouted when she saw him and then ran into his arms, "he was there. My dad was at Headquarters..." She whimpered. Jeremy sighed and wrapped his arms her.
"I know, Viktor told me when he made that big scene in the lobby. It will be fine." Jeremy looked up at Morain who was standing in the door way and nodded for him to come over. "Cassiel is on a job, I've asked Morain to take you with him when he goes to his shop so he can keep an eye on you. Is that okay?" Jeremy looked down and saw her nod against his chest. He pulled her away gently and kissed her forehead. "We will make sure that he leaves and never comes back, no doubt about that." He smiled and let go of her, allowing Morain to take her.
"Come on Anni, I got a new dessert for you to try." Morain smiled as he put his arm around her shoulder. Aliana couldn't help, but smile.
"Okay, let's go. I'm hungry now."
"There's the Anni I know, always hungry for sweets." Morain bent his head down and rubbed noses with her, she giggled.
"Morain!!" She shouted, "that felt weird. It is so unlike you too. What are we, Eskimos?" She joked and hip bumped him. They headed out to Morain's black and silver GT Mustang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes!! Exams are done and I got the chapter up the day after I finished! Bam! I feel accomplished :)
How do you like the interaction between Morain and Aliana? Morain is truly, an odd guy. He always does the unexpected. Still my fave brother. Who is your fave brother? Promise to have more of Burner, Ballad, and Morain in the future. Who wants more of Chessiza?
So....who is the unknown man and why was he talking to King? What could King possibly want with Cassiel? And why hire a man, a man that could be a hit man?
Until then, my monsters!
