[The next day]
Sometimes every human must have the trials of life, not indiscriminate children, adolescents, even adults. Including Chloe Watson, this girl who has lived in this dimension for a long time or more often called a parallel world. Chloe does not think of continuing to live in this world but her determination to continue to try to complete the mission and the desire to meet her original family makes Chloe continue to try so that she can return to her original body.
But of course all the effort was not easy because he had to face all the trials that came to him like today.
BRACKET!
"What the fuck?! Chloe, I told you not to let them bother Ivy! Why can't you come on time at all?!"
Revan's clashing sound echoed through the room, He kicked the table in front of him angrily. While Ivy beside Revan just looked down grimly.
Chloe exhaled for a moment. "Sorry Brother Revan, but when I picked him up he was like that. I didn't know she was bullied before I came,"
"Yes, you should try to come as soon as possible! I don't want to know, if you're late again tomorrow. I will really make you suffer!" Revan stared nyalang, his green Netra gleamed furiously.
Chloe involuntarily clenched her hands together, Resisting the sense of resentment that was about to peak. Ash's sudden arrival to the kitchen room made the atmosphere even more tense.
"Revan!" Ash said shrillly with his serious expression. "What's wrong with you?! Chloe just worked here a day, she said Ivy was bullied before she came. Why are you blaming him?!"
"Don't interfere Ash! I'm doing this for Ivy's safety! If his day's work isn't good, why is he hired here! Just a bother to the family we know!"
"REVAN! Watch what you say!" Ash's tone of voice rose, Himself ignited emotions as Revan stared intently at him. "Sister Eli is the one who hired Chloe here! If you don't accept it, just protest at him. You're just like Uncle Zoe, same face two!"
The deg!
Revan's face turned shocked, his green Netra was perfectly rounded. Before long his expression turned grim with furious teeth. Both of his hands clenched tightly, before finally giving Ash a sudden raw bogem.
MAAM!
"Don't you ever insult my father, you're a Bre!"
Ash is pushed back when he gets a sudden blow from Revan. Ivy and Chloe who saw the incident were shocked to panic.
"Sister Ash!" Chloe Excited.
"Sir Revan, Stop it!" Ivy tried to pull Revan away from Ash.
Revan did not listen to Ivy's words, he jerked his hand from his sister's grasp and hit Ash again.
MAAM!
"I'm sick of you Ash! You're the one with two faces!" An enraged Revan gripped Ash's collar tightly, He hit Ash again.
MAAM!
Ash only lets Revan beat him without retaliating or turning him away. At the same time Azura and Rafael and Al who heard the sound of a fight rushed to the kitchen and saw Revan who hit Ash repeatedly.
"Revan! Stop that!" Rafael rushes to Revan and hugs his sister, pulling her away from Ash. Likewise with Azura, who immediately pulled Ash to break up the fight of the two.
"You two why the hell?! Why fight like this?" Excited Al added wondering why his two brothers could fight.
"Well! He's defending Chloe! Obviously Chloe was wrong to let that bully hurt Ivy!" Said Revan emotion.
"I'm not defending him! That's the truth because he's here on the orders of Brother Eli," Bela Ash turned back, wiping the corner of his bloody lips. His face was now covered in a blue bruise from Revan's blow.
"Are you guys fighting because of Chloe? Is it just 'cause he's late for helping your Ivy get this way?" Rafael frowned, Glancing at the silent Chloe.
"That's the truth, he's not even at work!" Revan glared, Now his gaze turned to look at Chloe.
"I don't want to muddy the mood, but if he's not good at work. Why does Chloe have to work for the Director's company? Isn't being an OG a challenge?" Al obviously looked at the girl.
Revan was silent for a moment, his mouth locked tightly without wanting to answer Al's questions. Chloe just kept quiet.
Ivy had started to silently open her voice with a guilty expression. "Don't blame Chloe, I'm wrong for not fighting them,"
Hearing Ivy's voice, all eyes are on her, including Chloe who chooses silence. Then Ivy looked down small.
"I'm sorry, but please don't blame Chloe. She's been helping me clean my desk, and even Chloe's been cleaning my hair off the fiber of the eraser cut. He also helped me with my bag,"
Ivy looked at Chloe beside him and then clasped the hand of the blue-covered girl still with a guilty expression. "Chloe, I'm sorry. If I could fight them alone, you wouldn't be scolded by Brother Revan,"
Seeing the sincerity of Ivy's apology as well as the cute face of the girl's purple unravelling short piece made Chloe reminded of her twin sister in the original world. His hand raised rubbed the mane of the girl's possession with anxiety.
"It's okay Ivy, I've been used to getting snapped like that. Besides, this isn't the first time Brother Revan has scolded me" Chloe laughed softly.
While Revan who heard him grimaced, before he finally realized Rafael was still hugging him with a gaze staring at the interaction between Ivy and Chloe.
"Sir Rafael, what are you doing hugging me?" Said Revan who was disturbed.
Hearing Revan's voice automatically makes Rafael realize, he then turned to look at Revan and reflex to take off his embrace while pushing Revan away a little from him.
"That's unclean!" Rafael said he shuddered in disgust and moved away from Revan, while Revan shuddered while wiping his clothes, Trying to remove the traces of Rafael's embrace that might be stuck in his clothes.
"What the hell, ordinary dong!" Sahut Al flat saw the attitude of Revan and Rafael who still shuddered in disgust.
"Hm...Though brothers themselves," said Azura while Ash only laughed softly.
Soon, Leo and Leon are intent on making lunch startled by the gathering of all the members of Michelle's family who are in the kitchen. The two looked at each other before opening their voices.
"Why are you all gathered here? Did we miss something?" Leon asked with a surprised look.
"Ah, No. Just a small matter, Now it's done," Azura replied smiling kindly as usual.
Leo and Leon nodded in understanding, Before long the two saw the interaction between Ivy and Chloe.
Finished with their conversation, Chloe took her hand away from Ivy and looked back at the Michelle brothers. A faint smile lay on his lips.
"Oh, Yes. Have you seen Miss Michelle?"
"He's in his room on the 2nd floor, just go there if you want to meet him" Reply Rafael while sitting on a chair.
Chloe nodded slowly as she bowed lightly at all the gathered Michelle brothers. "Thank you, I'm sorry,"
The girl rushed out of the room to meet Eli upstairs.
After Chloe's departure. Leo and Leon begin to do their job, and Rafael and Al decide to sit down and wait for their lunch to arrive, while Azura treats Ash's bruise from Revan's blow.
Revan as the 3rd brother of Ivy approached the purple-blasted girl of the short piece, Without a cue Revan immediately pulled his sister a little away from the other brothers so they did not listen to his conversation with Ivy.
Ivy just resigned when Revan pulled it, they stopped near the cupboard. Then Revan whispered softly to Ivy.
"Ivy, don't trust Chloe in the least. He could have just acted well in front of you, If behind you he must have secretly planned something to harm you," Revan said seriously, He gripped Ivy's shoulder tightly making Ivy grimace a little.
"Don't believe what he looks like! Do you remember the last time what happened to you when you were guarded by a bodyguard?! He could be like that bodyguard!" His sizzling Revan suppressed his every word.
Ivy's gaze turned fearful, He looked down without looking at Revan anymore. "Yes, brother, I get it,"
"You have to be careful with him. Okay?"
"Yes, I'll be careful," Ivy nodded in fear.
"Good! Come back," Revan scrambles his little purple mane before pulling Ivy back to where his brothers are.
**************
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Come in!"
Cklek!
Chloe turned the doorknob, popping her head to confirm whether Elizabeth was inside or not. He closes the door again after finding Elizabeth, who appears to be busy with her laptop.
Blam it!
"Do I bother Miss Michelle?" Chloe approached Elizabeth and stood beside her.
"No, what's up here?" Reply Elizabeth without turning her head, Before long she closed her laptop screen. "Sit down!"
Hearing Eli's permission, Chloe sat down near the brown girl. He's keeping a little distance.
"I wonder why you guys are so protective of Ivy. Is he that weak?" Chloe realizes when a fight between Revan and Ash occurs, There Revan says that she is so for the good of Ivy. It means they all love Ivy, it's just that their protection makes Ivy look like she's being restrained.
Eli looked silently for a moment, before opening his voice. "You're paying close attention, yes,"
"meaning?" Chloe tilted her head sideways with one eyebrow raised, looking questioningly.
Eli turned his gaze to look at the window frame while propped up by his chin. "We were kind of protective of Ivy, but not all of them. Just Revan, Azura, and me. While the rest treat Ivy normally like people out there,"
"We're here so Ivy can avoid the threat of crime out there. People know in Michelle's family only Ivy is the weakest, so she is often the target of criminals as prisoners,"
Elizabeth breathed out slowly. "Ivy was actually born prematurely, it affected her physique. That is why his physique is very weak, He also can not do heavy work, so he is more often seen to be silent than doing activities outside. We also don't let him out except at school,"
"The pale Ivy skin patches are rich in corpses, Less sun exposure turns out," thought Chloe Speecheles.
Elizabeth looks at Chloe after ending the story. "Now do you understand why I hired you here?"
Chloe nodded quickly with a cheerful smile. "Yes, I get it. Thank you for being open to me Miss Michelle,"
"Yes, you don't like Ivy's bodyguard just yet. Please don't disappoint me" Pinta Elizabeth smiled faintly.
"Of course, I've also heard stories about former bodyguard Ivy from Brother Ash. I didn't expect her to do that to blackmail your family" Chloe looked on with concern and was greeted with a wry smile by Elizabeth.
"Well, that's how people are. Sometimes he has evil nature and sometimes good nature" Elizabeth shakes her shoulders. Then his gaze shifted to stare at his shopping bag lying on the bed.
Elizabeth stood up and took something from her bag. He handed Chloe an apple.
"Take it, and then go back to the kitchen. They must have been waiting,"
Chloe stared in surprise, Receiving the apple hesitated. "How will Miss Michelle go?"
"Later to follow, tell them so,"
"All right," Chloe looked down at the apple that was in her hand. "Thank you, I'll go first,"
"Hm.., uh...,"
Chloe turned around and walked out of Eli's room and shut the door tightly.
Blam it!

[Hight day]
Night animals sounding earthy from behind the darkness, the wind blows slowly flying the leaves around it. The cold wind on his cheeks did not heed, The young man only clenched a white striped blue scarf that coiled around his neck.
His blue Netra continued to look at the expanse of the garden before him blankly, He who was famous for his friendly smile now that smile was not terpatri dibirnya. Just showing an expression full of nothingness.
A sudden pat on his shoulder made the young man return to reality, Shaken in surprise before turning to the perpetrator.
"Azura, why are you sitting outside. Eve tonight was so cold, your hands even froze like this" Ash the 4th brother held Azura's hand, checking her temperature with a worried look.
"Sister Ash..." Azura looked at her heartily, Letting Ash hold her hand. Then he turned his eyes back to look at the expanse of the garden.
Ash was silent for a moment, he took off his grip and sat down next to his sister. He looked gently at Azura.
"What's wrong? Are you upset again? Or because of your ex-boyfriend?" Ash asked patiently waiting for his sister's answer.
Azura lowered her head to let the wind blow the tip of her scarf. "I got a call from him this morning, he said he was sorry to have broken up with me and asked to be given a chance to improve our relationship,"
"But I...The shadow of her cheating right in front of my eyes made me doubt, I wonder what to do. The pain still exists. He even asked me to meet him tomorrow to talk about our relationship," Azura looked anxiously at the garden in front of him.
Ash closed his eyes for a moment. It turns out Azura is nervous because of her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, she thinks Azura why-not it turns out just a matter of romance. Why should he interfere with his sister's love affairs, but as a good brother he would advise Azura.
"Hey Azura!" Ash patted his sister's shoulder making Azura turn her head. "First, follow your heart. If you're having doubts about your own feelings, why don't you tell her that you need time to consider her request,"
"Second, as I said. Follow your heart, from there you will know the answer you will decide. Don't be rash and hasty, Brother doesn't want you to regret it again for the 2nd time" Ash added smiling kindly at his sister.
Azura pensively thought of Ash's suggestion, She was still confused by his feelings. On the other hand he is still injured because his ex-girlfriend dumped him just like that with another man and on the other hand there are still a little stored feelings for his ex-girlfriend.
"I...I will consider first," Azura said lowered her head.
Ash, who understood Azura's condition, only gave a small nod and grabbed her sister's hand to go with her. "Then, let's go in. Your body is shivering like this,"
"Yes,"
Azura and Ash rushed into the mansion, unaware that there was another figure standing there not far from them, since the figure had noticed the interaction between Ash and Azura.
"Fufufu, Michelle Family huh. It looks like they will be the next victims. Great that little girl could be with the 2nd richest family in the world, you're so lucky Chloe Amberly. But here I'm the one who benefits the most,"
The figure was horrified by his psychopathic laughter, before it was lost in the darkness.
