" Why did you stop me? Everything was going great but that old butler stepped up. Did you see how rude he was? I- Ow, Why are you hitting me?" Paige's rant came to an abrupt end.

" Because you deserved it! What's wrong with you?" Maia exclaimed.

" What? I was only going with the plan!"

" Embarrassing them was your plan, forget it. I expected too much from you!" Maia sighed.

" Both of you, we have bigger things to worry about. Paige, Maia is right you went too far." Iblis also supported her.

" You both are ganging up on me because of that old man?"

" Old man? You don't know shit!" She began telling them a few things she had heard from her father. She had to admit seeing the changing expression in Paige's eye was funny. Iblis seemed to know most of it, but she was also surprised after getting the complete picture.

" Are you not mistaken? I mean look at him." Paige was in denial.

" She is right. I have heard from my brother who was trained by Grandpa Arthur. He is treated no less than an elder of the Rothschild family." Iblis mentioned Oscar.

" So, don't provoke him. Also change that attitude, I don't know what's gotten into you."

" Don't blame me. It was your plan to begin with."

" And you failed miserably."

" I don't think it was all for naught. Didn't we already accomplish our goal?" Iblis said. Paige was confused, but Maia understood what she was getting at.

" She is right."

" How? All I see is a disaster."

" They didn't try to needlessly butter us up. They were apprehensive about our identities; I don't think they are bad people." Iblis commented on her observation.

" Most of the people try to put up fake front to get closer to us. But she out right fought back seeing you insulting her friend. Even I like her courage. And Rosaline appear to be a naive girl like our little sister here." It was rare seeing Maia complimenting someone else out loud.

"humph, I am not naive! Also we are not that apart in age so stop treating me like your junior!" Iblis retorted.

" What do you think Paige? Be honest." Maia asked her.

" Honestly, I think I need to apologize to them." Paige sighed.

" Huh?"

" Are you okay?"

" Don't look so surprised! There is nothing wrong with me!" Paige said angrily.

" I mean, I never thought you will volunteer to say sorry. I was thinking about how to convince you."

" What's wrong with doing the right thing? This was stupid plan to begin with. In all the years I have known Sami, I have never seen him mingle with any bad people. Not once."

" If you put it that way, it was dumb."

" I suddenly got reminded of the mistake I made in the past. It is how I got acquainted with Adele." Iblis began to reminisce. The resemblance between her past self and Paige was uncanny.

" You never mentioned it before." Maia sounded curious. Adele was like an unknown 'enemy' to her; she knew about her life, but getting a first-hand account was different.

" Come on, let's find them. In the meanwhile I should probably tell you this story too."

" Alright."

Samuel was with Liliana and Rosaline after talking with the crew. It was a typical exchange of pleasantries before the take-off. Arthur was also there, but he didn't inform him about what happened when he was out.

" How was the tour?" Samuel asked as the girls were reticent.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

" It was okay. I really had fun." Rosaline said with a smile while Liliana avoided the question outright.

" You know you are a bad liar right? Is something bothering you?"

" No, I really had fun. I have never seen such a big fight, which is a little overwhelming." She didn't lie entirely, just excluded the truth. If she began complaining about his friends, she felt it would only worsen the situation.

" Liliana?" Samuel turned toward the other one.

" What?"

" Nothing, you sound angry for some reason."

" Do I?" There was definitely something wrong. He turned toward Arthur, who was standing there like a stone statue. He wanted to ask him, but that's when the other three came into the common area.

" Hey. Where were you guys? The flight is about to take off." Samuel asked them.

" Sami, can you leave us alone for few minutes?" Paige asked.

" Hmm, why are you planning something? I can keep a secret."

" Are you a girl?"

" Huh?"

" No right? So, don't meddle in girl's business!"

" Alright, Alright. I am leaving. Just be seated when the plane takes off, okay?"

" We get it. Now go!"

Samuel didn't know what was happening, but seeing the intensity in her eyes, he knew they would never let him stay. Everyone looked severe; something was up.

" Grandpa Arthur, you too." Iblis said.

" But young miss, if something happens.."

"Don't worry. I will not let it happen again. Beside we are not here to start a fight." Iblis reassured him.

" As you wish but if something goes wrong just shout my name, I will be waiting outside." Arthur respected her choices and left after reminding her.

Five girls were alone inside the room, everyone got seated, and they stared at each other. It was deja vu for the first time they met.

" If you are here to start shit again. I must warn you it will not go well for you!" Liliana said.

" No need to be so wary we are not here to pick a fight." Maia said.

" That sound even more unbelievable."

" I AM SORRY! I know this may be late, but I was out of line earlier." Paige directly said her piece. There was no reason to sugarcoat things; she held true to her personality.

"..."

"..."

" Are you trying to call everyone? Why are you yelling?" Maia facepalmed, witnessing her apology.

" That was a little dramatic." Iblis said with a wry smile.

" I am sorry for startling you, but I mean what I said." Paige calmed down and said it in a civilized manner.

" You must really think we are stupid? What type of shit are you planning now?" Liliana was not buying it.

" Liliana I think they are serious." Rosaline said from the side.

" Rosa, do you ever heard of a human being change their nature this quick? They must be up to something."

" She is not planning anything. How do I say this? We had a reason for doing that." Iblis spoke, seeing things were getting nowhere.
