~The next day~

Izadora's POV:

Our last period together was coming to an end, and when I say "together", I mean me and Alessia. As she was about to walk out of the door, being the last in line, I pulled her back by her bag.

Alessia - "What the fu-"
Me - "What is your problem?"
Alessia - "Ahh, it's you. How surprising."

She said in the most sarcastic tone I have ever heard. She really just be pissing me off... I didn't want to show that she was getting under my skin. So I kept my cool.

Aizen and I had made a plan last night to get her to confess that she's the one behind this, and cancels it. This bitch isn't the only one who knows how to scheme.

~Last night~

Me - "What if we try to get her to confess that she did it, instead of just bluntly accusing her?"
Aizen's - "I see nothing wrong with bluntly accusing her, it'd be nothing compared to what she has done."

I sat up with disappointment laced on my face staring at him.

Me - "That'd make us no better than what she is."
Aizen - "Fine, smart mouth, what'd you suggest?"

He asked, grinning.
Now that I think of it, I didn't really have a detailed plan... But my mind worked fast.

Me - "Pressing her. We could press her with questions, record the conversation, and when she confesses we use it to blackmail her.
Aizen - "Hmm... Sounds like something Alessia would do."
Me "I- mm... Do you have a better plan?"
Aizen - "No. But that wouldn't work."
Me - "Why not?"
Aizen - "It sounds like something someone would do from a TV show, and as I said, something Alessia would do. Younger Alessia. She's smart enough to figure out what we're trying to do. It's just too simple"
Me - "Exactly why we should do it. It's too simple, she'd never think that we'd do something that simple."
Aizen - "Reverse psychology... You're not that dumb, princess."

I faked a gasp at his sarcastic joke.
Me - "retira eso" (Take that back.)
Aizen - "Mm... No."

I slapped him on his chest as I hovered over to kiss him.

~The present moment~

Me - "Listen. I just want to know if you're behind it."
Alessia - "Yes, I am... Are you planning to do something about it?"

What the fuck... This was not how it's supposed to go. Did she really just rat her self out?

Alessia - "Why do you look so shocked? It's not a secret, it would be if you of all people could actually do something about it, but newsflash, you can't."

I didn't give her a response as I just played back the recording on my phone. She. Didn't. Even. Flinch. She had more of a "she can't be serious" look on her face.

Alessia - "If this is your plan to stop mine, then you better give up, but I'd expect nothing from someone like you."
Me - "What's that suppose to-
?? - "Don't comment, she just wants you to be riled up."

I walked over to Aizen's side, as we stood together facing the one person I regret calling my best friend at one point in life.

His strong scent infiltrated my nose. Damn he smells good as fu- ugh, focus.

Aizen - "What did you do to convince father this time?"
Alessia - "I really have no idea what you're talking about, big bro"
Aizen - "Don't play fucking dumb with me, Alessia! I heard everything."

Is it just me, or is that the same guy that told me not to get riled up? I placed a hand on his chest to remind him about his words.

Alessia - "Aww, protecting my feelings are ya? Listen love birds, I did what I wanted to, got what I wanted and there is absolutely nothing you lunatics can do, especially not now when your flight leaves in... 2 days."

She let a small giggle as I felt all my organs drop to the floor. I looked up at Aizen to see shock written all over his face.

Aizen - "Does father know that he lost that club because of your negligence? Or that you deliberately made him lose that contract because you could not deal with the thought of moving away from your 'lover'? I bet that'd be a funny flashback story, wouldn't it?"

Those words sent a rollercoaster of emotions down my spine. He sounds so deathly, as if death itself is standing by my side, but also so hot blackmaili- what the fuck Iz? Get a grip.

He walked over to her as he towered above, seeing that his plan to get her to step down off her high throne worked. He went to whisper something only she could hear.

Aizen's POV:

Me - "Chiedi a papà di annullare quel viaggio, altrimenti ti prometto, Alessia, che questa sarà solo una frazione di ciò che farò per rendere la tua vita un inferno."
(Have dad cancel that trip, or I promise you Alessia, that this will only be a fraction of what I do to make your life a living hell.)

I turned around as I escorted myself and Izadora out of the room to let those words soak into the demon of a sister. The last thing she'd want to do is take those words for granted.

Izadora - "What did you say?"
Me - "I threatened her with a bad life."
Izadora - "Do you think she'll listen?"
Me - "Let's see what happens, princess. She knows I never break a promise."

Izadora sighed as she grabbed me by the arm.

Me - "Do you want to get dinner tonight?"
Izadora - "I'm too tired for formalities. Can we go to the supermarket?"

I laughed. She's the only one who successfully gets a proper laugh from me. I'm not the proudest to say that I'm feared most places I go, if I'm known. Only the few people close to me knows the loveable side of "The Aizen Romano". Alessia, my father, Marco and Izadora...

My mother was unfortunate enough to not live to even see my 5th birthday. "Drunk driving" they say, but that doesn't sound like the mom I remember so little of.  I snapped out of thought when Izadora called my name.

Izadora - "Aiz?"
Me - "certo, amore mio" (Sure, My love.)

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey Readers!
N.B: Aiz and Iz learnt a bit of each other's native language so they understand each other a lil bit when they speak in their mother tongue.
Hope you're enjoying! :)♡
