The siblings and Malik rolled out back to the main house. Xanth smirks and adjusts his glasses. Achlys glanced at him with confusion. Franzlie raises her brows while being wheeled by Rhory. 

“I wonder what the reaction of that guy is when he sees you?” I was holding myself that day, yet you are so cool and don’t even bother that ignorant hoe.” 

Rhory commented with a grinning face. 

“Yet, Malik got pissed off and gave him a blow that knocked him down. I can’t even imagine myself being punched at that impact. It’s horrifying that even a few of his teeth were knocked out too.”

Xanth replies to Rhory with amusement. 

“Wait, don’t tell me something happened to you guys when you were out the other day? And why didn’t you guys even tell us what happened that day?”

With aggravated response of Achlys to his brothers. 

“You, Malik and Franzlie are together after or shopping at the district. And you know what, I want to meet that Natasha girl at Casa de Estrella. She looks dope, her eyes are so tantalizing. She looks sleepy when you stare at her.” 

Xanth rolled his eyes giggling as he fangirling at one of the supervisors of one of their chains. Franzlie guffawed, laughing that made her brother pouts.

“You know what, I don’t know how Papa and Mama conceive you? You are cold but you ain’t heartless? You are like unpredictable weather so unpredictable but you are responsible. That’s the only thing that can make this brother of yours happy and yet, you are laughing at me.”

Franzlie looks at Achlys and Llyr; however, both of her brothers look away while Llyr whistles. She knitted her brows and switched the engine of the wheelchair. Rhory, the one that holds the wheelchair, is being dragged away by the wheelchair.The rest panic and chase her; Franzlie’s made fun of them.

“Girl, how can you be wicked when I'm the one that rolled you out? How could you be so mean to me!!!” 

Rhory is surprised at what she has done and panics for a while. 

“Me, mean?  That’s not new. My dear brother Malik knows that I’m no saint; let’s go, it's time to teach that chap a lesson.”

Rhory is shocked as her sister mentioned teaching that chap a lesson. He’s been left out by her sister Franzlie. He smells trouble and he can see it in her eyes. Franzlie wheeled and halted at the closed door. Her siblings rush towards her with worries. 

“FRANZLIE MCGREGOR !!!!!”

Achlys screams her whole name fuming as he walks straight towards her. Franzlie faces him with a poker face.

“What can we do with your stubbornness? Malik just stated that you should recover and take plenty of rest and yet here you are acting like there’s nothing happening? If you can’t do it for yourself just do it for Papa.”

Achlys’s  voice roared like a raging lion. Hence, it doesn’t affect Franzlie. She sighed and plucked the drift on her hand, blood oozing to burst. All of them are dumbfounded and shocked. 

“There’s no such thing as to recover and rest. Don’t you think that if I feel a little pain I’m going just to sit there and rest, when there are mouths that defend the work and project that I need to execute. Do tell that to me when you start your own project.”

“I’m not boasting things that I’ve done, however I know better myself. Indeed what Malik said is true yet, I need to keep going. Some of the future shapers are in my hands that need support and good funding that they may fulfill their goals. I’m one of them.”

Words cold as ice as her statement replied to her brother. Achlys is stupefied as the others. Malik comes to treat her hand yet he can’t take one more step towards Franzlie. She glared at him and he needed to step back. 

“Franz, sister, take it easy. I know what you feel, we were there that time and I know there are things that happened that’s why you look like a mess that day. We know it’s not the appearance that matters  to you.”

Xanth arrives and tries to calm her. However, even he pleads to her that Franzlie don’t listen. Malik brushes his hair and thinks of a way how is he going to aid Franzlie? He stared at her complexion and he knows the girl will pass out if he doesn't do anything with her bleeding. 

“Franzlie, don't make things difficult just because of your stubbornness. Let me help you to subside your bleeding.  Or perhaps you can put this bandage on your hand so the blood will stop bleeding. I know you are agitated, but you don’t have to do this ranting, do listen for Christ sake Franz we are not young any more.”

Malik's voice quivers and feels his heart  is about to fall out into his chest. He takes a two step to get near her and lends the bandage to her. He can’t gamble to be reckless, he knows what Franzlie can do to him; if he tries to bluff her. Franzlie takes the bandage and Malik takes another step closer to her. 

“I can manage this stay from where you were. You are trying to lure me out but I know your trick. Better don’t move yourself a bit, not even an inch to where you stand.”

Her stare is murderous and she spits her words coldly. Malik froze to where he stood and her siblings were stunned by her. Rhory fears to take a step back nor forward. He wants to help her but he can’t take a risk as well. A honk of the nearby wheeler is coming near to them. Achlys steps forward with Xanth. Rhory and Llyr stay on the side.

“It’s coming, Rhory, the invoice statement might be needed by them. It’s in the drawer at Franzlie’s table in the study room. Do take it and bring it with me.” 

Achlys asked his brother to gather the invoice and give it to him.  Franzlie gazed at his brother and tilted her hair. Rhory gets confused yet he walks back to take the invoice. As he gets back Franzlie’s hand is waiting and lending her hand to him. Rhory looks at her sister back to his older brother, Achlys. Achlys nods and he knows he can’t do anything to it. 

The trailer truck parked and halted in front of the spacious ground. Franzlie waves her hand to Malik to cover her. Without question asked he steps forward to cover her. A man in his rugged denims and blue collared shirt descends at the trailer. He walks towards them and pauses for a while in front of her brothers. Mr.Garcia scratches his head facing Xanth and Rhory. He is looking for someone when Franzlie gets up to her wheelchair.

“Small world right? I guess I’m the one you are looking for since you have seen my brothers.”

Her cold temperament displayed towards the guy that humiliates her at the car showroom. No words can describe the man who is stunned staring at her. Mr. Garcia doesn't wait for more; he kneels and begs her for forgiveness. 

“Ma’am I’m a fool and stupid for not recognizing you. Have mercy on me.” 

The man kowtows many times till his forehead bleeds. Her brother grasps in horror, staring at her. Their lovely sister is indeed not that simple. Goosebumps run to their spines.
