The Young Master in the Shadows

After Aria left the office in a hurry, Victor relaxed on his comfortable lather chair, then looked at the twins who where standing awkwardly near the door.

“Come, find a seat and relax,” he told them, “Sorry about scaring you earlier, but I had to act like that or someone would try something like the car incident again.”

The twins, who sat down onto the same couch, nodded there heads in acknowledgment.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Mana asked Victor timidly,

“Young master, why do you believe that someone tampered with the car?”

“An expensive Car like that, would have multiple safety systems. Even if it where hit by truck it would never explode. And didn’t you notice how the doors seemed stuck, how can that be?”

“Why not tell the police?” Asked Mina.

“Sometimes, it’s better to fix our problems ourselves, That’s how we do it in the family.” He said making the girls a little scared. What kind of family is this? Organized Crime?

After another minute or two Mina who had more courage than her sister Looked at victor and asked in a low voice

“Young master, Our clothes were ruined in the accident, can we return to the mansion to change before the birthday party tonight?”

“Ah, I forgot about that,” Victor smacked his head as he shamelessly lied.

“Don’t worry, When Lily arrives here we will go shopping, Didn’t you want to get a few gifts for your friend, I also need to get a new phone anyway, so I would buy you any thing you like.” he said with a big smile.

The girls nodded their head and smiled, they couldn’t hide their excitement. Girls their age always like to go shopping, and they didn’t have many chances to do that in the last few years.

“Young master, I have another request,” said Mina after she mustered her dwindling courage.

“What?” Asked Victor with a smile, as he already knew what she was going to ask about.

“In the party tonight, Can you hide from our friends the fact that we are your maids?” she said while keeping her head lowered in shame.

“So, you are a ashamed of being my maids?” Asked Victor with an evil smile.

“No, never young master,” answered Mina nervously, “It’s just that we didn’t want to tell them about our miserable past and only told them that we just live there with our aunt who is the caretaker of the mansion. we don’t want them to think that we are lairs.” She said.

“Oh,...” Victor paused a moment then asked them a question that they were not ready for,

“Answer truthfully, Did you fall in love with one of those friends of yours?” he asked “Like that Tom?” He added which caused the girls faces to turn red with shame, and they kept their heads down in silent refusing to answer, “you can’t ask a maiden this question.” they complained in their hearts.

“I see.” said victor as he took their silent as approval as if he didn’t already know that.

“Hilda should have told you that you can’t do that, Right” He said, but the twins said nothing, they just looked at their feet in shame.

“I will not expose you, nor will I stop you, but I have a condition, only one of you can try to be Tom’s girlfriend, while the other will have to serve me faithfully for the rest of her life.” He said causing the girls to raise their heads and look at him with a surprised eyes. The didn’t expect such outcome, as they have prepared them selves for a life in servitude, and now he is giving one of them a chance to live a normal life.

This was the first step in his plane to untangle their destiny from that idiot’s. He will pit there strong destiny for each other against their destiny with Tom.

“I can’t hand you over to a bastard who likes to play with two twins at the same time” He Continued, “Would you love such a pervert ?” he asked with an educating tone.

“No” both of the girls shook their heads and answered at the same time. They were raised in a traditional house, and although they can accept loving the same man, that is their choice. They would never accept a pervert who would paddle two boats at the same time and plays with girls feelings, they thought.

But they failed to realize that they have already fallen into the hands of such a pervert.

“Then who wants to be Tom’s girlfriend, and who would stay with me?” Victor asked them while already knowing their answers.

They did not disappoint him,

“I will be stay with the young master, (Mina)(Mana) would go to Tom,” both of them answered at the same time, sacrificing their freedom for the others happiness.

The girls looked at each other with gratefulness and blame, they wished the best for each other.

“Then how about this, tonight we will secretly question Tom and let him choose.” suggested Victor who was acting as if he really wanted to fulfill the girls’ wishes.

“Um..” the girls nodded their heads in approval, that was indeed the best method.

After a while there was a knock on the door,

“come in,” said victor

Aria pushed the door with an employee holding a tray with drinks, and three burly men who held a large stack of documents that she threw on Victor’s desk as if saying “You want to be a president, then do your job!”

“What are these ? Didn’t I say I will only be responsible for the company’s plans and strategies?” he asked while he took a cold lemonade glass and starting sipping on it.

“These are the company’s current plans and ongoing projects.” Aria answered with a smirk then followed the employees out of the room.

“Aria stay for a moment” Said Victor,

“What are your instructions, young master” she said in a business tone.

“Is there any projects planned in the cloudy mountain?” he asked.

The cloudy mountain is a known tourist attraction in vein city and many legends say it has a big secret but now one discovered anything after exploring it for many years.

“Yes, young master, it is the set for our new martial arts movie. The filming has already started a week ago and will last for another two weeks, are the young master interested in it’s legends?” she asked.

Victor already knew about the movie, as in his previous life an accident happened there when he just arrived about a week from now. Now he will use it to his advantage.

“Indeed, How about this, I will go Inspect the set tomorrow,” He said then he turned to the girls. “Do you want to go too? I believe john Sigma is the main star you might get to see him. ” He asked.

The twins quickly nodded their head, who would refuse such an offer.

“Good, Aria Inform the crew that I will be their tomorrow morning, and arrange a car to come pick me up in the morning, No, Make it a van, I don’t want to be cramped in the same seat for too long.” He said.

“But what about the documents, young master, you would need about a week to review them,” Aria said feeling a little displeased as her brother didn’t seem to be as annoyed about all the work she threw at him as she intended him to be. It felt like punching air.

“Send them to the mansion, I will have a look at them in my spare time.” He answered without care. Then looked at her and ask “Did you find any thing about the accident ?”

Aria stumbled a little but quickly answered,

“No nothing for now, Leo is still sedated in the hospital so we will have to wait until tomorrow. But we did manage to acquire the road camera’s footage through out channels.” She said then subtly changed the subject,

“I was very surprised you survived such accident, when I saw you earlier I thought it was just a minor accident, but I didn’t think it was this serious. The footage shows you valiantly saving the twins from the car, I didn’t know practicing the family arts made someone this strong, I wish I was able to practice too, but sadly I have no talent.” aria said, as she looked at the twins and then at victor, and began to search for a trace of muscles under his ripped shirt, the scene of how Victor took them out of the burning car had changed her view on him,

“Although he is a pervert, her brother did not seem to be a bad guy,” she thought.

“I just inherited the good family genes,” said victor with a shallow smile, his answer had a hidden meaning she did not get.

Before Aria could rebuke him, the door was pushed open and Lily, who was caring a suit bag entered the room. She wanted to politely greet everyone here, but upon seeing Victor’s sorry appearance, she rudely threw the bag at Aria who was the first one standing in her way and ran to her young master and began inspecting him.

“Young master, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” she asked in a worried voice.

Victor patted her silky hair with his hand and said,

“Don’t worry, you know better than anyone that no one can hurt me, we will speak about this later,”

“Now, give me that bag, I need to change.” he asked Aria,

“There is a changing room and a private bathroom in the back if you want to change.” she said as she gave it to him.

“Lily, follow me and help me change, he said as he entered the back room, then Lily naturally followed him under Aria’s surprised look.

“No, he is definitely a pervert like father.” Aria thought.

As for the twins, they just sat there wondering if Victor would do something to Lily in there or not.

They did not get a chance to know Lily and have a private talk, maybe they would be able to get to know her better today. They thought.

“Aria, Take the girls and give them a tour in the company, they seemed to want some autographs,” Victor sound came from the back room.

Aria nodded her head gestured to the Twins who were exited to go meet their stars and run away from this awkward situation.

Then He looked at Lily who was looking forward to helping her young master get dressed and whispered in her ear, "Sorry to disappoint you but you have a mission, some people around here does not have long eyes, I have their files and information here.

Have a look at them, then in the next few days, assassinate the one in red, Jacob. And cripple the others."

…

“Where did you meet him?” Aria asked the twins while guiding them through the company.

“We are maids at his mansion,” Answered Mina.

“Oh, I see.” Aria said and then kept her silent and led them through the company. She knew what being maid in her family meant.

The twins was very happy as they could see many of their idols, who were very polite to them when Aria introduced them as the new CEO’s friends.

When they returned to the office an hour later, Victor was already back to his old look as a charming young master dressed in a white suit, making Aria look at him in surprise.

She didn’t see it earlier as he looked like a bum, but this brother of hers is really handsome.

“Are you falling in love with me?” Victor asked Aria who was lost in her thoughts.

“Yes…,” She said first then she go herself back together and blushed,

“Blah, Who would love such a narcissistic brother.” she spat then left the room in a hurry.

Victor smiled then looked at the girls and said,

“Let’s go shopping.” He said,
