PROLOGUE

"Editor Hymen, what's the problem? Is there any problem on the manuscript or what?" I asked seriously since its too rare for him to call me personally.

"Oh, nothing I just want to hear you voice." He replied on the line that made me frown.

"Pardon? I have a business to attend to so will you just cut the chase and tell me what do you want." I said while preventing myself from yelling him I'm on my way to my brother and sister Uni to talk to the dean and the professor they both offended.

"Chill, since your really sounds busy I just text you later." He replied then hung up the call.

"Seriously, what's wrong with him?" I said to myself and focus myself on the road.

"Director Peri, Have you already told Mr. Caster that he needs to drop by tomorrow?" Asked the woman whose on her thirties and arrange the documents on the guys' table she just called Director.

"Nope, he's really sounds annoyed on the line maybe he's drivin'." The guy who called Director replied. His secretary just nod and leave him on his office.

"Your really interesting Lucid, you never to fail to amuse me." The Director said to himself and smirks. Its been five years since he discover what Lucid is really capable off, they meet by a chance when Lucid pass a manuscript sample for his story that got his attention so he offered him to be his editor and start making his story. He also get a background check on the young man since his really pinned his interest on him so he also decided to give him some other job the only few people may know and supposed to know.

Chapter 1

"Brother, Our Dean wants to talk to you, can you spare your time just for a couple of hours if not that much to ask." Hiera said as she broke the silent between the three of us infront of our breakfast.

"No worries I decided to have a break for todays' script, but what is it this time?" I replied that made her smile ackwardly she knows that everytime I've been summon by there Dean she and her twin got into trouble again.

"My prof in physical education subject report that I've been skipping his class." She replied that made me look at her I saw how she quietly swallow her saliva that made me sighed. Does how many times she have to skip her class.

"I-it's not like that I'm just doing for fun you know, I just don't want to be sweaty." She added defensivily that made me more sighed.

"How about you Ro?" I asked Hiero whose silently eating with us.

"Nothing much, I'm doing fine on my class." He replied without loking at me. He has this hobby that he wont loked at you if he's lyin' that's what I found out after we start livin together for this five years. Its not like where not use to live together back when our parents were still alive, its just that we don't ussually interract with each other back then if its not only for our parents request since we all used to have our own world back then.

"That's not true Bro, the Dean also ask it 'coz he punch one of his professor." Hiera butt in that made me sighed again. Seriously, does how many times he's been on the center of the fight and know he even hit his professor. I never heard of this back then when mom and dad is still alive. Maybe its just started when they both past away just like my younger sister. They both change how they used to live back then or its just me who don't know it. I do really fail as a big brother on that part.

" Why?" I asked curiously.

" He just pissed me of, so I punch him." Hiero replied that make me sigh.

" I just drop you two off in Uni so no need to take cab or what, I'll drive." I said that made them nod and with that we silently eat our breakfast again.

But after I finish to wash our plates those two already left me.

" Great! What a nice way to turn down your big brother invitation to send you to school." I talk to myself and sigh those really don't want me to send them to school. Come to think of it ever since they both started to attend the Uni they never let me drop them to school is it really that embarassing?

I'm in a bad mood when my boss who also my editor called me without any reason. I almost yelled at him luckly I manage to avoid that disaster... who has the gut to yell to his boss I'm amaze if someone has the gut to do that but I won't try to dare I do need my job since I'm the one whose paying the tuition of those twin and also I still doesn't settle the debts our parents left us. I do really owe that boss of mine so I don't want to disappoint him in any matters.

When I arrived at the Uni almost everyone is looking at me when I drop off on my car that made me kinda anxious... Is this the first time did they ever saw someone drive a red sport car coming in the University. Thou I kinda get it since not all student here are came from a wealthy family like us we also live as a commoner back then luckily we become somehow stable when I become a writer as for the car it's just a gift from my boss who always want to spend his money the way he wants too. Its not like he's been treating me in a special way since even his assistant who also his secretary also recieve not a car but a house and a lot as his wedding gift for her while me I receive a car when my first book become a hit at first I refused it since its too weird for him to do that but since his too persistent on it I decided to accept it. Hiera sometimes borrowed it when she want to go somewhere which I don't forbid it as long she will be back home for dinner even Hiero they both agree on my condition so I let them be free as they want they also need to unwind sometimes.

" Its' really nice to see you here Mr. Caster, have a sit." Said the Dean who greeted me with a smile I just nod and sit.

" It's been a while Lucid, How are you?" He asked that made me look at him seriously.

" You don't have to turn a cold shoulder on me young man, I'm still your Uncle I remember to offer you a help back then." He added that made me sighed. He's my Uncle and also the Dean on this Univesity I also once a student here but I decided to quit and start working.

" I do really apologize for my brother and sisters' behavior." I replied that made him sighed. He's my fathers' step brother that made him our Uncle by the law since her Mom re-married our grandfather my fathers' dad.

" I really don't mind those two kids behavior since they both the pride and also disgrace in this University." He said seriously that made me look at him seriously.

"But that's made them unique from the others unlike somehow who just stubbornly throw away everything he should have for his pride and ego." He added while giving me an emotionless look which don't bother me. Whenever we saw each other we always end up in disagreement since we both don't like each other guts. He always start it so I really don't even bother it that much I'm preety used to it.

"I do agree on that part about me but I do disagree on how you address the twin they are my precious family so better know your place UNCLE." I replied while emphazing the word uncle on him.

" But frankly speaking I never regret my decision back then in fact I'm kinda proud to myself on what I did since...."

"Good morning Dean, I'm sorry if I'm late I do run some trouble on my way here." Someone cutted me off when he suddendly open the deans' office and start explaning himself from being late.

"No worries, Mr. Mendoza, please do meet Mr. Caster the Guardian and also the big brother of those Caster twin." Dean replied back with a smile what a fake person he easily change his expression due to the aituation he's in what a great pretender.

" I do really apologize for my younger brother's behavior." I said as I pay attention to the newly arrived prof it almost shocked me when I recognize this person its also the same for him when I saw him how his eyes slightly widen when he noticed me.

"Its fine, don't worry about it." He replied and give me a smile.

"Anyway I do forget some papers I need to give you Dean so I'll be back again." He added and immediatily leave us alone.

" I also have to go, if you may excuse me I better get going." I stated that made him shock for a moment that made me look at him coldly.

"Anyway, you must try to visit your grandparents at home, they want to see you since its been to long since the last time you pay respect to them." Uncle said that made me just nod at him and silently leave his office.

" Mr. Caster right? Do you have a moment I want to talk to you." Prof Mendoza said when we also walk past each other in the hallway.

" No problem, I'll wait you outside the campus since I left my car there." I replied that made him smile again and nod.

" I really can't believe I will saw you here again, lets' have lunch my treat." Prof Mendoza happily said when he saw me outside.

" There's no need for that, same here." I replied and hop in my car but before I can turn on the engine he just let himself welcome and sit next to me.

" Seriously, do I even invited you to hop in?" I ask sarcasticly that made him laugh a little.

"Your still the same anyway here's my phone number contact me later at six, I'll treat you dinner." He replied that made me sighed.

" Yeah right, so just pissed off already." I said that made him chuckled and get out of the car.

After that I decided to go back home and drop by to the market to buy some ingredients for our dinner since the twin like curry I decided to make one.

" Brother, what's for dinner?" Hiera asked soon as they both come home from the Uni.

" Curry, anyway I wont be joining you guys for tonight's dinner I have to go outside to meet some friend of mine." I replied I just heard her replied 'kay and go to her room.

" Long time no see, Lucid!" He greeted me happily when he saw me. I just nod since I don't have anything to say to this guy.

" So what happened back there? Your suddendly quiting the school made everyone shock especially us." James asked seriously that made me sighed in response.

" Our parents died in an accident that time." I replied that made him shut for a moment.

"I'm sorry to hear that anyway I can't still believe that your the big brother of those troublesome twin since your behavior and them is really to opposite except for the fact that there are also genius just like you back then." He said that made me sighed no wonder he recieve a punch from Hiero, Ro can't stand noisy person this guy never change still noisy no he even more noisier this time.

" I do realy apologize for the twin's behavior." I replied that made him smile.

" No worries, I really don't want to ruin those kids future since they are both genius thou a lil bit troublesome, How about you? What's your job?" He asked curiously that made me sighed more.

" It's a secret anyway I don't expect you to become an instructor especially as a professor, you don't hit every student you have right?" I also ask him just to avoid his question but I really never saw him to become a professor since he's the yankee in our gruop who always into trouble back then.

" Hey! that's only in the past now, your brother is the one who hit me don't you know it took me two days just to subside the blackeyed I got from that punch." He complained that made me chuckled.

" I do really apologize for that, Hiero really can't stand noisy person like you while Hiera can't stand physical work that much." I replied that made him smile.

" You finally smile, anyway you don't have to shoulder everything now since you can ask for us to help you, me and everyone in our gruop is really worried in you someone even try to look for you but failed, luckily we crossed path each other today." He said that made me smile. When I decided to take the role of my patents I do cut all the ties I have with my friends since I don't want to bother them and to let our relatives know that I no we can survive on our own without separating to each other. That's the main point why I decided to stop coming to school our parents relative wants to help us by keeping one of us that made me disagree I told them that if that's the case then we don't need there help they are the only family I have so I won't let them separate us. By that decision all of them where shock and called me arrogant specially that uncle of mine who wants only to keep me but not the twin.

When I got back home I saw a note came from Hiero he wants to have paella for dinner tomorrow that made me smile.

Chapter 2

After making a simple breakfast for the three of us such as bacon, egg, toasted bread, and a cup of coffee since we all like to have a coffee first thing in the morning. When I already set our food I go up stairs to wake them both its' been our daily routine we take breakfast and dinner together as much as possible that's the only thing I make sure to happen except for the time when I have to go outside with some matters they both don't say anything about it so I guess its fine.

"Hie, Ro, come down stair to get some breakfast, you can go back to sleep later." I said as I knocked on their doors I heard them grunt so I decided to go down stairs and wait for them on the dining area they both doesn't have a class for today. Few minutes later they both come down to join me in our breakfast.

" I can't cook for your lunch for today so if you want some food you may order out if not there's still a curry on the frigde just re-heat it, I have to meet with my editor today so I can't cook for lunch." I said breaking the silent.

" 'kay." Hiera replied as she start to eat her food.

" Have you read my note last night? I want paella for tonight's dinner I don't want a take out food for tonight so you better be home before dinner to make food." Hiero said that made me just nod. Seriously? Did this guy forget that I'm five years older than them.

" Don't worry about that anyway, I will deposit your allowance for this month and don't be afraid on spending money you both deserve the best." I replied that made them both look at me shockingly.

" What?" I asked confusedly that made them sighed.

"You just give us our allowance last week, aren't you spending so much money on us?" Hiera asked worriedly.

" What's wrong with that? You two are the only family I have so I don't care spending some for you two, don't worry about the details anyway their debts is almost on the clear list so you don't have to worry anything." I replied that made them sighed defeatedly as if we do have some battle here. These two rarely ask for cash that made me worried.

" Do what you want to do." Hiero said and start to eat his food silently while Hiera just nod on her twin remarks and sighed. What's with this two? By that we all eat our breakfast silently.

" Sends our regards to Mr. Peri, and also take care on your way." Hiera said breaking the silent between the three of us that made me just nod in response as she went up stairs again.

" I almost forgot, can I invite someone here, it's for our group project?" Hiera yelled that made me look at her she's still on the stairs that's why we can still hear her.

" Sure , no problem just don't let them roam around at my work place, it will be a problem later if some of my work spilled." I replied. She just nod and smile at me before heading to her room.

" I will head out later can I borrow your car?" Hiero asked from behind. That make me almost jump in surprise.

" That's suprised me, sure no problem, just take care while driving and always look on your environment." I replied that made him nod and also went up stairs.

Today I'll meet my editor on his place, aside from the fact that its almost my deadline I also recieve a text message that telling me to meet with them. My Editor is no other than Hymen Peri who owns one of the most well-known publishing house all over the country aside from being my Editor and boss at work he also my benifactor on my other job. Only few people know I have another job aside from being a writer even my younger brother and sister doesn't know it and I'll never plan to tell it to them since it's too dangerous.

" Good morning Mr. Caster, Director Peri is waiting for you on his office." Said the lady whose still on her mid twenties and she's my assistant on my other job.

" Good morning too, You may head first to the lab, I'll go talk to him first, I'll check you out later." I replied that made her nod on go opposite on my direction. My other job is involving chemicals in short I'm an unlicensed Chemist it's a secret to many people since I don't have any degree to become a licensed one I don't finised my studies back then and I don't have a plan to finish it now. I do develop poisons and antidotes that sells well on the underground or should I say it sells well on the black market where all the hidden org is permited to run there business. We do have many clients such as hitman, assassins, reaper and so on and so fort. Thou they all have there own chemist or scientist on their own organization they still stick on coming from us to buy our products sinse no one on them can still make an equal or greater poison and antidote we develop call it bragging but I'm just telling the truth. That's the main reason why I don't plan to tell it to my bro and sister that I have another job 'coz its too dangerous.

" Good Morning Lucid, How's your sleep? You sound too busy yesterday so I just mailed you last night." Director Peri greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning too, it's fine. Not at all I just deal with someone yesterday since the twin got in trouble again, anyway here's the manuscript for this month if you have something to discuss it or make some changes and improvement just call me, Editor Hymen." I replied as I handed a hard copy and a soft copy of my latest work. When I call him editor where taking as an editor and a writer business but if I call him Director Peri it means I'm talking with him as a chemist not as an author.

" Sure no problem, I need an hour for checking this, you may drop by on the lab while waiting I just ask my secretary to call you when I needed to." He replied that made me nod in response and use his secret door its lead on my lab. When I say his my benifactor I mean it, he's the one whose been funding all my research project, he also help me to hide my indentity as a Chemist since we both know that it will just bring us trouble sooner or later. I don't know how does he found out that I do excell in this kind of thing but the hell I care as long that I can help my bro and sister live well I don't give a shit on it.

" Ms. Cruz, what's the status?" I asked my assistant after I change my cloths into something appropriate on the lab I do have some spare cloths on this place since I can't wear the cloths I'm wearing before living the house. Since I'm dealing with a chemicals there's a posibilities that the smell may linger around and that would be a problem if those two find out, they where too smart to make an excuses for it so I'm pretaining caution.

"TS1 is on stage 2 base on the dosage you've instruct me, TS2 is on the stage 3 , while TS3 is on stage 5 but we already give the antidote base on your prescrition so its slowly taking progress." Sarah replied while reading her notes. Sarah is one of my assistant she's the one who greet me earlier, she's still a student in college, she's taking medecine course so being my assistant is a big help to her about her silent no worries about it she's too loyal to Director Peri since Director is her adoptive father.

" Thanks for the update, If Director come call me and you see me still busy here tell him to wait or just leave a message, I will also leave some new instruction for you to follow since you knew that I only drop by here three times a month for safety pursose." I said that made her nod and leave on my office here in the lab before I go visit our Test Subject I plan to check every paper work here on my desk that Sarah compile for me to check.

The test subject we've been taking about is a rat, I've been no we've been testing our products on them aside from making poisons and antidotes we've been making some research on developing a new medecine that might become a big help in humanity. The stages Sarah's been telling has five stages and the stage one is the less dangerous one while the stage 5 is the dangerous one that if you fail to get the antidote first you may never say hello to this world again. The reason TS3 is slowly progressing is I do instruct them to give it only a small amout of antidote.

"Sarah, I'm done checking your report you did great, your slowly keeping up on the pace sooner or later I will let you do some test on your own so keep up the good work." I said after coming out from the lab and pat her head this girl could be a great doctor someday. I'm already done checking her report I also finished her new instructions to do and I'm also done checking the test subjects. So I get back to my cloths earlier all I need to do now is to talk with her dad and drop by the supermarket to buy the ingredients I need for paella.

" Ahem." Someone faked a cough to get our attention to him.

" What's the progress?" Director Peri asked firmly.

" The experiments are progressing well, but its only aside from the one we try to develop I'm still looking on it, I'm looking for a time to it since the twin still have a free time they often stay at home so I can't work on it. I do apologize for my inconvience Director." I replied politely.

" No worries, I do understand your situation anyway about you manuscript lets' talk about in my office." Director said that made me nod and follow him silently.

" I don't see any problem here to change as expected from you ever since I decided to be your Editor I don't have many job to do since its perfect but I do have something to propose to you, are you willing to change your theme for the first time? " He asked formally that made me confused.

" What do you mean by that?" I replied confusedly.

" I'm implying that can you make some touch of romance on your work so we can also attract some many more audiences, its not like that I'm not happy on the profits you've been providing us and as a reader myself I do really like your style it was really hooked me up that I'm always looking forward to your new work." He replied that made me even more confused, if he likes it then why do I have to add some touch of romance on my next work?

" I do kinda get what your thinking out but let me finish first." He added that made me nod in response.

" I did some research no I let some of my men to do some survey regarding on your works, we do get a different views about it, because of it I came up with the idea where you start to adding some touch of romance on it, it doesn't have to be cliché and rain with some many chessy lines that would make you lose your style just bit of romance is enough." He explain that made me nod.

" Will you please let me know there answer regarding this matter." I replied that made him nod and hand me some files. I'm kinda surprise on what did I just read I never thought that it will end up like that where they all like the plot the stories but they kinda bit wanting to find some romance on it, others might think that the reason I don't include it is I'm a loner. Seriously do they need to pry for my private life too. That made me sighed.

" Since I do respect all my readers I will do change it, but don't expect for too much from me if that's all I'll go ahead I have to drop by on the supermarket to buy some ingredients, Hiero request for paella as a dinner for tonight." I replied that made him smile and nod.

" As expected from you, and if you really lack on experience on romance I can lend you a hand." Director said with a teasingly smile that made me sighed seriously.

" Well see about that, I'll go ahead, have a great day." I replied and left on the building.
