Chapter XVIII

After finishing the conversation with her brother, Vivienne sat on the bed and began to wonder whether the man living under the same roof as the girls could be a danger to them. In fact, he had no reason to help them from the beginning. It seemed like he did it selflessly. But who does such things selflessly? Maybe he had some hidden goal all along? Maybe he wanted to use them for something? Whatever it was, the girls weren't aware of it and it was starting to annoy the blonde girl more and more.

After thinking about it for a while, she also realized that they had no idea about Theo at all. They don't know who he is, where or whom he works or has worked. They don't know a thing about his past. They only know basic information such as name and age. The friends had to tell him everything about themselves, including their entire past that they didn't even remember before, and he told them nothing about himself. He also decided not to tell them that Claude was his brother. There must have been something wrong with him concealing such important information. The man living with them seemed even more suspicious with every thought. He supposedly helped the girls all the time, for example regaining their memories, but maybe he needed their memories for something. Maybe he specifically wanted to learn more about them. When the girl also thought about his dislike for Ciel, she began to think that it might have been because he knew too much about him. That's why he didn't want to use his help and without hesitation, immediately after seeing him, he raised his gun, aiming it at him. Maybe he was just afraid that he would have said something girls weren't supposed to know, like what Vivi had just found out.

After more thinking, the girl decided to go to her friend's room and share this information with her. She hoped she would believe her. Camille liked Theo, so Vivienne wasn't so sure about that.

She knocked gently on the door and went inside. She found a brunette there, sitting on the bed.

"What's up?" Camille asked, noting the presence of another person in her room.

"I have to tell you something..." The blonde girl replied hesitantly, sitting down opposite her on the bed.

"Sounds serious... Did something happen?" She asked, slightly worried. Her friend almost never sounded so serious. There must have been something going on.

"Ciel called me..." She explained uncertainly.

"It's good. After all, he's your brother." The brunette smiled slightly. "Is that what you wanted to tell me?"

"Not really... he told me something very important." She paused and tried to break the news to her friend as gently as possible. "...so, this Claude from LF, his last name is Lafosse, right? Just like Theo's."

"Yeah." Camille nodded.

"Well... it's not a coincidence... It's his brother. LF stands for Lafosse. Apparently they founded this corporation together and used to work together. Then something happened between them, they had a fight or something and after that, Theo left. No one has heard from him since then."

"W-what...?" The brunette reacted with surprise. "Do you think it's true? I mean, we don't know if Ciel is a reliable source..."

"I thought about it and it's definitely true. Despite his illness, he still worries about me. He told us to watch out for Theo. Besides, why would he warn us if he didn't want to help us?"

"Hmm... Well, after this information, we will definitely be more careful..." Camille said seriously. Something inside her broke after her friend's words. She felt betrayed by Theo. She wanted to scream and cry. What if he had been playing with her all this time and pretending they had something in common?

"When I thought about it, we actually know nothing about him, and he knows everything about us. He helps us selflessly, we don't know why. He may have some ulterior motives that we don't know about and maybe in the end, he wants to use us for something." Vivi said with emotion. "And also, do you remember that party we went to at LF Corporation? He went to the mission where we couldn't go there alone, because apparently we were in danger, but he sent us inside the building, where all the corporations were at that time. It didn't make sense to me from the beginning, but now I understand why he didn't want to go there."
