 Lexio was seen sitting on the wall of the main house gate, having been forced to go home. There was absolutely no intention of entering, he could have attacked Alex's men who picked his up and exploded the car then fled. However, the risk was that Alex would order Kean to drag himself home.

"I'm not satisfied!" he squealed loudly, occasionally moving his dangling legs downward.

Lexio clucked in annoyance, when someone appeared near him—who else but his two crazy twin brothers. Lexio jumped up and quickly walked away from them, completely unwilling to engage. Moreover, it would be the same. The crazy twins, about to attack.

Lexio reflexively changed direction when Levano intercepted and launched a sharp weapon attack at his, successfully dodging one did not mean completely escaping. Because there was still another—Levino, casually giving him an attack in the form of a hard kick.

"Dodging is good, but fighting back is not." Levano began to comment.

Lexio chuckled in annoyance, while wiping the corner of his bloody lip. Because Levino's target was his face and it spread to his solar plexus. Suddenly it was de javu, when he was still free from the cage—the main house Lexio helped Alvaro. Now, experiencing it as the crazy twins made another impromptu attack on him.

"You think you'll be let out again, don't you?" chirped Levano in a sneering tone.

Lexio just glanced at it, then walked away. Forced to stop his steps, because the crazy twins were again blocking the way.

"Did you hear that?" Levino was up to his ears in blood, already throwing another attack this time in the form of a fist. However, before it actually hit the target of the fist. His hand was swatted away quickly and roughly by Lexio.

"Get the hell out of the way!" Lexio rammed herself very roughly at the two of them. Thoroughly disgusted with their behavior, he managed to escape very quickly from the crazy twins.

"He's really enjoying his freedom huh? Even once." Levano commented again, this time in a very different tone than before—when Lexio was still present.

"The effect of being cooped up, definitely enjoy it!" grumbled Levino.

As Raga suspected, the crazy brocon twins were against Lexio. Because of the habit of doing hard things, such as attacking deliberately to hurt Lexio. Plus, the annoying nature and like to sneer until Lexio is fed up. It was difficult for them to show a normal expression—like a brother who loves a younger sibling.

"You guys are free."

The crazy twins turned their heads at the same time, as they heard someone, Alex, interject. Strangely, they began to squint, then clucked in annoyance.

Alex himself chuckled, knowing from the start that his eldest twin was a brocon towards Lexio, even when Lexio was still outside the house enjoying the freedom of Kean's supervision. The twins took out their frustration on him.

"You guys can be free too, including your young brother but still under supervision—"

"No need to continue!" The twins cut Alex off, their eyes narrowing again. "He's allowed to be free again?"

"Yes, but if it really gets out of hand. Yes, then he'll be locked up again." After saying that, Alex left the two eldest twins.

Lexio was in his room, which was black with bloody paintings on every wall. His hand continued to throw darts, the look on his face was again annoyed at the effect of being attacked by the two crazy twin brothers.

He threw the dart again, flinching when another dart stuck at the same time. Lexio turned her head to find Alisa standing next to him. Lexio's position was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Satisfied being a wild child?"

"Nope!" Lexio replied in a snapping tone, still fed up with the disturbing effects of the two crazy twin brothers.

"Have you heard the news?"

Lexio was no longer annoyed, but had a curious look on his face. "What?" Since returning home, Lexio had yet to find out any new news about anything out there.

"The one who became your impromptu bodyguard, just revealed his family identity. To be precise, after you got home—the second it was revealed."

"Hm, I see." Lexio deliberately answered casually, despite being consciously surprised for a moment. Choosing, to ask or find out directly from Kean. That is, if he was allowed out of the house and under Kean's supervision again.

Alisa left the youngest's room, but stopped again when she heard something unbelievable. In disbelief, Alisa approached again and looked seriously at Lexio. Lexio glanced away lazily, choosing to continue playing darts.

"Sure?" Alisa raised one eyebrow. "It's okay, you can come with mom out of the house. Just be sure to ask for your father's approval." After that, she left.

Lexio chuckled in annoyance that asking for approval would automatically be deliberately obstructed. Even more so, if the two crazy twin brothers were there. It made him even more disgusted and reluctant to ask permission to leave the house with Alisa.

Alisa was always out, even with lots of bodyguards. She likes to go shopping in big malls as an ordinary businesswoman's wife, sometimes to auctions. In order to target luxury items—jewelry that is difficult to obtain. The point is to make a collection, you could say Alisa also likes real human statues. However, she's not so maniacal like Alex that he's passed it on to his crazy twins.

Lexio laid his body down, this time really having a purpose why he wanted to get out of the main house. To meet new friends, even though he knew Alvaro wouldn't accept him as a friend. It was obvious, from the look in his eyes—fear of meeting strangers.

"At least, I know a new person even if it's just one." Lexio was bored, from the handful of people he knew, it was only the men, the house servants, the bodyguards, Alex, Alisa, and finally the crazy twins. That was it, even though Raga visited often, Lexio had no intention of making friends. Kean, it's so hard. If possible, it was a factor of Alex's orders earlier when he was told to be his bodyguard.

Since the incident, Kendra approached Kean and said something unexpected. Namely, an apology. For leaving him like that. In that instant, Rayyan could imagine. If the one in Kean's position was him.

"Bro, was that time real? That father had children before us?" Karina was suddenly afraid that other people's perceptions of the family would change. Especially, that one of her parents could do that so easily.

Rayyan sighed for a moment. "Yes, it's all real. We have a half-brother, who is even worse off than we are."

"He's three years older than you bro, right?" Karina began to infer something, one could say having a serious conversation with Kendra. Karina was still young, but her brain could already digest the mistakes Kendra had made in the past.

This was done after returning from the meeting. In fact, Karina was unconsciously carried away by emotion. Rhevina was silent, even though Karina knew it was the same as she felt emotional and disappointed.

"That means, before separating from the first wife. Dad was already in a relationship with mom, right? And here, the mother's position does not know that the father has a child from his previous wife," Karina continued.

Rayyan was reluctant to respond to anything, but certainly agreed with Karina's conclusion. Rhevina was in a relationship and married Kendra, thinking that Kendra was separated from Kasya and had no children. In fact, she was wrong.

Kendra married Rhevina, while still Kasya's husband. Kendra had no prior conversation with Kasya, to marry Rhevina. In fact, Rayyan had a negative thought. If it's not just Kendra who is doing a siri marriage, even though it is now legal. Because he had completely separated from Kasya.

Perhaps, the father's previous wife also did the same thing? Married siri?

Because, Rayyan clearly saw the disappointed face of Kasya's husband, Damian. Feeling that what Kasya did was worse.

"Bro, you're friends with Denish, right?" Karina suddenly changed the subject, even giving Rayyan a serious glance. "Have you ever visited his house and met his parents?"

Rayyan frowned in surprise as Karina linked him to Denish's family. "We're friends, but I've never met his parents. Even though he visited once, his parents happened to be out of town. Whenever we do group work for school assignments, it's always outside or somewhere else."

Karina had already guessed. "I've met his parents, Bro." The look in her eyes became more serious. "Can you believe it? In fact, we're not the only ones who are half-siblings to the father's child from his first wife."

Rayyan was stunned. "That means ...."

"Yes, brother." Karina sighed for a moment. "Dad's first wife was named Kasya and is now the wife of Damian. Those are Kayra's parents, automatically Denish's parents too."

Rayyan still couldn't believe it, after all Denish never talked about anything strange. Although he always knew that he was always curious about Kean—the effect of seeing Kendra's strange behavior.

"Perhaps, Denish doesn't know anything either?" The one he saw, was not so curious as he seemed. Or was it the other way around? Then deliberately, being casual?

"I'm sure, Denish or Kayra already found out first."

What Rayyan suspected, though afraid to express it directly. Karina was convinced first and said it easily.

"Kayra always confided in me, because she didn't want others to think her family was bad, especially her mother." Karina has always been Kayra's listening ear. "Do you know, Bro? Why is it that Denish and Kayra rarely attend meetings?"

Rayyan shook his head. "This is Kayra's reason, if it's Denish, I don't know. What is certain is that Kayra is afraid that at any time the truth will be revealed in public. That's why, Kayra never joined the meeting because she didn't wanna get a different look, let alone if she was given a bad look. Kayra seemed sure it would happen, and it turned out to be true. After all this time, it was finally revealed. Although, it was father who showed it first by saying sorry even though it was too late."

Even so, Karina was sure that Kayra would still feel different stares from the people around her, especially those who saw firsthand the incident at that time. Surely, she would soon feel it too.

"Even though we didn't do anything wrong, I still feel very guilty."

Rayyan returned to silence.
