" But you look a little older than my brother beside, I don't remember him giving much time for his college studies."

" What are you trying to say!?" Mayra pulled up her guard.

" I mean are you sure she is his? It's not easy to get pregnant without preparation, at least that's what I heard about it." Instead of getting offended, Mayra accepted her criticism. 

" You might not know because you are still a 'kid'. Some time it sort of happens, like stars aligning to give you the best gift of your life. It's not like I pre planned it beside you can see how much they love each other since they met. They are simply inseparable. Right Elise?"

" Umm?"

" You love Sami right?"

" Unn! I love Sami!"

Hannah felt alarm ringing in her mind, " This bitch definitely planned it! I am sure of it!" She wanted to say something but looking at the little girl raising up her arms to show her love for her supposed father, she didn't want to ruin the moment. Mayra could see Hannah gritting her teeth trying to keep her fake smile.

" We have yet to broke the news to her so I would appreciate it if you play along with it. It's only been few days since they met that's why we are taking it slow with Elise." Mayra elaborated even before Hannah could question why Elise didn't call her brother 'father'.

Mayra started boasting next, how much she liked it here and how much Samuel's family loved her. She even made up stories about how much Robert and Laura scolded Samuel for leaving her stranded for so many years to raise their daughter alone.

She even went as far as to say that this mansion was being given to them as a wedding gift and there would soon be a public announcement of them being married which would definitely send shockwaves around the world.

The most eligible bachelor in the world being snagged up in his late teens was bound to break millions ladies' heart! Mayra also invited Hannah and Kiko to attend the lavish party!

Hannah's head started hurting hearing her. She knew her brother was bound to get into trouble with the ladies as it was a consistent fact with him since she had known him. But shagging up with a blatant gold digger was something she never imagined him to do.

She felt the urgency of the situation and knew she was correct to accept this mission. She had to do everything in her power to open her brother eyes to the truth! The problem was a choice between a direct approach or to lay it out for him in a more softer way.

Samuel came downstairs to see three of them talking especially Mayra who was going on and on about something. He searched upstairs and saw that Adele and Iblis were not at home probably visiting the main mansion but looking at the house, he saw that they did send someone to sort everything out as it looked much cleaner.

Hannah immediately stood up and pulled him aside before he could even say anything.

" What? I already sorted out your luggage. It in far right corner beside Elise's room. Do you want to see it?"

" That's not important right now! I want to know who she is?!" She discreetly pointed at Mayra. Samuel realized they didn't introduced them but since they were talking for a while now wouldn't they already know about it?

" What do you mean?"

" I mean are you-... Is she part of the 'club' too?" Samuel felt weirded out since her sister never showed much interest in his love life before. Maybe gossiping was a side effect of puberty? But he wondered how he should answer it.

" Aren't you a little too young to ask me that?" He flicked her forehead trying to play it off. She didn't need to concern herself with these things because he himself didn't know what he was doing other than going with the 'flow'.

" Answer me!"

" Yes." Hannah felt dread hearing him say it so confidently.

" What about the kid?"

" She is family." Again a quick response! He did say family which made her realize that Mayra was telling the truth!

Suddenly they noticed few people coming in, it was Adele and Iblis coming back after dropping off Amanda and Nicole after their cleanup. They were surprised to see Hannah and Kiko in the living room.

" When did you arrive?"

"Big sister Adele, big sister Iblis! I missed you guys so much!" She came and gave them a group hug. Kiko also walked up to greet them. Mayra who was still in the dark about two girl's identity felt by their interaction that they must had known each other for much longer than she anticipated.

" Why didn't you say that you were coming over?"

" Right, it's already dark outside we could have spend more time together to catch up." Iblis added. They knew aunt Carol didn't let her stay overnight from past experiences but they were in for a shock!

" You don't have to worry about that! I brought my luggage and everything. From today I will be staying here. I do have to drop Kiko off at the airport tomorrow but after that I am free for the holiday. I can't wait to do fun stuff together like we used to in the past!"

" Here? Are you sure?"

" Did you ask your parents for permission? You know-"

" Already did!" She said confidently. Just from the looks on their faces, Hannah knew they didn't like the idea. She should be feeling happy that it was going according to the plan but there was a huge elephant in the room, the gold digger!

" I know you love the idea but before we do something first, I wanted to ask you why didn't you tell me big brother got married?"

" Sami have a sister?" Mayra was confused.

" Married?" Others were confused about something else.
