Beauty and the Beast

The reunion

Rose:

"This is the place?" Damian said looking around.

"Yup. It's the island mom and dad got from grandpa at their wedding." I said as the servants took our luggage.

"It looks beautiful." Sonia said looking around.

"I can ask mom to gift it to you as a wedding gift if you want." Harry said as he pulled Sonia within his arms.

Mom called us two days ago telling us to have family holidays in our private island and we agreed. She said we need some family time. Though I'm not sure I need any family time with Adolf and my two sisters.

Well whatever. For mom.

I proceeded inside our mansion in the island. It's beautifully made with glasses on all side to let the sunrays in. The place is surrounded by the beauty of sea.

I took a deep breath of the fresh air that had nature's fragrance in it.

"When we get married, I'll bring you to a sea for honeymoon." Damian whispered in my ears and he hugged me from behind.

I smiled at him. "I'm still not agreeing to marriage yet." I retorted.

"Why?" He said mournfully. "The sooner we do, the sooner you'll be mine legally as well."

"That's exactly why I don't wanna get married now. I wanna keep my options open." I replied playfully.

He jerked me towards himself and bit my neck harshly. "There are no options left for you. Let me warn you love, if you as much as look at other men, I'll kill them with my own two hands and lock you up in our private mansion."

"Hey, we need to go in remember?" Harry teased breaking us apart as he led Sonia inside, letting out a small chuckle and Sonia giggled.

I shook my head as I glared at Harry. Worst brother ever.

"I swear Harry I...." My words died in my mouth and my jaws touched the ground as I looked at the scene in front of me.

"What?" Harry asked looking at the direction. I was looking in and copied my reaction.

A woman sat on a recliner chair next to the pool as a maid massaged her body and a man sat in the living room working on his laptop with a sullen look on his face, seen clearly behind the glass wall.

What the fuck is happening?

How.... When.... What .....

Fucking hell.

"Who's that? Bailey or Linda?" Damian asked intrigued.

The woman on the recliner opened her eyes  and looked at our direction. "Oh! Hey kids. You're finally here."

"That's your mom?" Sonia asked bewildered.

"Adolf, come greet our children and their other halves." Mom said happily as she got down to come to us while dad just ignored her.

She stopped halfway and turned around to look at dad. "Sweetheart?" Mom said in a too sweet tone and dad suddenly jumped from his seat at the tone.

"Hey kids." dad said with a forced smile. Or a try of smile but it ended up looking like he was in pain or something.

We stayed rooted at our position. Me too out of my mind to react and Damian waiting for me to move. And I'm sure the same was happening with Harry and Sonia as well.

"Kids." Mom said as came to us and pulled us in. "Stop looking like a you saw a ghost and come in. Adolf, show them the house I'll get the kitchen to make some refreshments. I'm sure they're tired after the flight."

"I've got to work on an important project. I can't do it now." Dad rejected almost immediately.

"Marcy, could you get my bag?" Mom asked and dad rushed to us.

"Come, I'll show you the house. Work can be done later." Dad said with an awkward looking smile and rushed to get away from the living room, like running away from a hellhound or something.

And I was still too out of my mind to think it say anything.

Half an hour later, we returned to the living room.

"This house us amazing." Sonia said. "I want the room at the very east at the third floor. I bet it will have a great sunrise view."

"Of course honey." Mom said. "Marcy keep..."

"Hey fellas." A voice interrupted us.

We looked behind to see the two queen bitches coming in with their usual arrogant look.

Third person:

"Long time no see." Linda said as his eyes fell on Damian and she gave him a seductive smile.

Rose rolled her eyes at it. These girls will never change. Slutty as always.

"Keep my luggage in the east room of third floor." Bailey said looking at the maid standing near her.

The maid was startled first but then looked at the others. Seeing no one opposing, she did as said.

"Get me something to eat. I'm starving. And send it to my room." Bailey said taking Linda with her.

"See you later sweetheart." Linda said with a wink to Damian as she followed her sister.

"Shut up, bitch." Rose roared.

"Don't worry little sis, I don't mind sharing." Linda said smirking as she left.

Damian was looking at all of this. His eyes had an unreadable look as he looked at everyone's face keenly, like solving some sort of mystery.

Rose was fuming as she went to her room at the west most part of third floor. "You see what I was talking about. Those to are evil." Rose fumed.

This was the first time she was so angry ever since she returned. Because she may be able to keep her calm usually but she is possessive of Damian.

They were lucky they were her sisters. Anyone else and she would've ended them.

All the while Damian was busy in his own head.

"What are thinking?" Rose said looking at his absent minded attitude.

"Maybe they're not." He said.

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"Maybe they're not so evil." Damian elaborated.

Rose came close to him and held his collar. "Damian Knight, are you considering her offer." She said in a threatening tone. "Cause if you do, I will torture you enough to make you change the consideration."

Damian chuckled and pulled Rose in his arms. "Whatever turns you on babe." But his flirtatious smile turned solemn again.

"I just feel things aren't so simple here. Your entire family is hiding something. And this secret is astronomical."

Damian chuckled
