Vows of a Poisoned Prince
Chapter 5
The next I wake up, and the whole day goes in haze. Not exactly, but with me still agape with the mercy of fate
I spent the day, just watching them
Fussing over me like they did in my last life.
But there are some changes.
Like how my father is famous tycoon. My brother shouldering the responsibility of an heir.
But it is simply better. For me. Rather than watching my family drain their live saving to pay for my medical expenses
I enjoy watching them lavish in this life. How mom loves her shopping most
I'm not sure why I am waking up at 18, or if someone else occupied myself for the past year or if I simply remember my past life and that is all
But all if these? That is happening around me is bizarre enough
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
Do you need help packing?
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
Hmm? *look up from breakfast*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Why does my Rosie have to pack? *put jam on toast before passing it to her*
I take a bite of the toast and watch Aiden scowl at Declan
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
She is moving in with me. Closer to your school. *drinks his coffee*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
*chokes* She what?!
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*looking between Aiden and Declan clearly enjoying*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
*nods* Have the securities been checked out? We've been havi-
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Hold on a minute!
Declan says, dramatic as ever as he pauses dad
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
My sweetie tweety Rosie is moving in with you?!
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
So you get to hoard her all to yourself? Absolutely not.
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*chewing and nodding*
Gloria Montaya [Rosa's Mom]
*hit her head lightly for going on with Declan's dramatics*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*giggle*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
If she is moving in, so am I!
Dad don't look up from his newspaper as he says dryly
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
You are in dorms because you were banned from my wine cellar. Stay there
Gloria Montaya [Rosa's Mom]
*sigh* Declan, honey, you're supposed to be focusing on your studies and not moving your entire closet into your brother's space
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
*hold his chest as if he was shot* Mom, how dare you imply I would neglect my studies-
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*giggle* For a bigger TV and Aiden's fancy fridge stocked with imported chocolates?
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Traitor! I defended your honor in every family arguments and THIS is how you repay me?!
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
*wipe the corner of his mouth* Mom didn't imply you neglect your studies, Declan. She is stating the facts
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
And no. You're not leaving your dorm
Aiden blooms, clearly unbothered by my twin's dramatics
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Rosa, tell them! Tell them I am essential for your survival in the big bad city!
He wails and I throw my head back and laugh
The carefree, and genuine feeling. Finally, having feels so unbelievable
No one asked about my break-down yesterday. Not wanting to worry me
Though I am grateful, but I am sure I have worried them with it
From my corner I hear dad muttering to mom
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Next time, we are buying separate apartment for each kid. Three penthouses and no more shared roof.
Gloria Montaya [Rosa's Mom]
*chuckle softly* And you'd still miss the chaos, my dear. Admit it. *kiss his temple*
Aiden tunes out Declan's whine, going back to his phone and checking his mails leaving my sweet twin highly offended by not providing the time of his day
Declan can be way over the top, but that is what that makes him, him
My Declan. My other half.
Declan was pacing around my suitcase like a guard dog while I packed my luggage to move in with Aiden.
I'm going to high school. All over again.
I want to cry, but this is essential. How I am given second chance, I want to ace school and achieve what I couldn't in my last life
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
Declan. Stop harassing the luggage. You're not coming, remember?
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Uhmm, says who?
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
Me *deadpan*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Listen, Big Brother Supreme. I've made an executive sibling decision. I am moving in with you guys. End of discussion
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
That is now how discussion work, Declan. *taking Rosa's books*
Declan gasps, clutching the invisible dagger my brother stung in his chest
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Et tu, Aiden?! Betrayed by my own flesh and blood while our delicate baby sister braves that concrete jungle ALONE?!
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
She isn't alone. I am there *helping Rosa*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*smile at Aiden*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
The man who has meeting line up from the break of dawn till dusk? You better be joking big bro
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*giggle*
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
*knock her head lightly*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*laugh*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
What my baby Rosie needs is ME! The superior twin, the pretty twin, the brain cell she clearly lost the moment she agreed to move in with you the first place!
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
Hey! *glare at him when her brain cell is mentioned*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Don't distract me when I am in a middle of war, young lady *says like an aunt chiding a child*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*snort*
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
She isn't exactly alone, Declan. There are housekeeper, security and Rosalinda in already 18 and not a baby. She is a qualified menace-
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
She's MY menace. And if you loved me at all, you'd leave me the best room you have and set up your boardroom in the balcony
I couldn't stop smiling the whole time as warmth spread in my chest
Declan was in the middle of his monologue about the dangers of having me alone without his surveillance when I moved to Aiden
I tug at his sleeves and look up at my favourite brother - Declan doesn't know that, obviously.
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
Let him come, Aiden? Please?
Aiden stops halfway through a dry retort to Declan's antics
My brother's jaw slackened just a fraction
He looks at me and tousles my hair, helpless at my childish request to bring along my twin anywhere I went
Declan clam up too, but he shot me a conspiratorial thumbs up behind Aiden's back making me roll my eyes
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
Rosa *sigh and kiss her head* He is going to drive you insane in exactly forty-eight hours
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*giggle*
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Excuse me? *offended*
I wrap my arms around Aiden's, hugging him like I did when we were little and clingging to him.
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
But you'll be there too. If I can handle you two growing up, I am sure I can handle you both under one roof again. It feels like home
Aiden's mouth twitches, my big brother scolding melting into warmth only I can draw out
He sighs, cupping the back of my head
Aiden Montaya [Rosa's 1st Brother]
Fine. But only because you asked. If he breaks a lamp, I'm making him pay in blood
Declan lets out a whoop and threw himself at me, tackling me to the bed into a laughing heap
Declan Montaya[Rosa's Twin Brother]
Team Declan and Rosa for life! Sorry Big Brother, she love me more!
Aiden just rolls his eyes, but he couldn't hide his fond smile tugging at his lips as he watched us both tangled together making a mess of my things
