- Butler Celeste nodded in understanding "you are right young master.."
- He then looked at his assistant "George, no one should know how we got married.. Specially, her brother Vincent.. This have to be remained in between us.."
- All three of them nodded together..

- "Whoaa!!" Vincent was looking at the mansion, mouth agape.. "We are going to live in that!?" Shock was obvious in his voice.. It was unbelievable for him..
- Victoria nodded in agreement "yes, we are.."
- "What!? You won a lottery or something!? How did you manage this!?" He asked while gawking the mansion with eyes wide open..
- Victoria's face darkened hearing that "yeah kind of lottery you can say, played by God himself.." She murmured to herself..
- "Huh!? Did you say something?" Vincent asked, looking at his sister in confusion..
- Victoria mentally rolled her eyes on herself 'stupid girl, don't blunder it!' She scolded herself in her mind and gave Vincent a smile "Yeah, I have something to tell you.. But, before that let's get inside first.."
- Entering inside the mansion Vincent was in awe.. He never have seen mansions like this in real life.. He felt like he is in some Disney world movie..
- He stretched his arm towards his sister "sisi, pinch me!"
- Victoria shook her head in amusement "behave Vincent!"
- "Bonjure, jeune madame.. Bonjure, monsieur Hale.." Butler Celeste bowed to them..
- "Hello, uncle Celeste.. He is my brother Vincent.." She then looked at Vincent "and he is the butler of this mansion uncle Celeste.."
- Vincent copied him and bowed back "hello, uncle Celeste.."
- "Oh my! Such a nice kid!" Butler Celeste complimented him.. He actually like this brother and sister at the first glance..
- "Just call him Vincent.. It would not necessary to mention him as monsieur Hale.." Victoria spoke.
- "Oh no, I won't dare to.." Uncle Celeste denied immediately "it's not appropriate.."
- "Oh don't worry uncle Celeste, I would like it very much, if you call me only Vincent, please.." This time Vincent spoke and gave him his most adorable puppy eyes..
- Sighing Celeste thought for sometimes and then finally agreed "Fine then, Vincent it is.."
- "Yay! See, it was not that hard!" Vincent chimed happily..
- Both Victoria and Celeste laughed at his excitement..
- "Come let me show you your room.." With that Celeste led them to the room, has been selected for Vincent..
- Both siblings was amazed by the surroundings.. Specially, Vincent.. He just couldn't believe that he is going to live in this room from now on!! "Am I really going to stay here!?" His voice was full of surprise and excitement..
- "Yes, you are.. This is your room.." Celeste spoke.. "Well, I am taking my leave from here.. And Young madame, young master will meet you guys at lunch.." He bowed and left from there..
- Vincent arched his brow "who is Young master!?" He is confused..
- This is what Victoria was afraid of.. She has to tell him and the most hateful thing is, she has to lie to him..
- "Yes, Young master.. He is the one who let us live here.." Victoria spoke slowly..
- "But why would he do that!? Is he our relative?" He asked again..
- "Yes, you can say that.. Umm.. Vincent, he is your brother-in-law.." Victoria spoke with hesitation.. Her tone was low..
- "Huh!?" He looked at his sister, "but I don't have any married sister.." It never appeared in his mind that it could be his own sister's husband..
- She let him sat on the edge of the bed and hold his hand "Vincent, he is my.... Umm.. Husband.. He is my husband.."
- Vincent didn't get it at first.. He stared at his sister in bewilderment.. Blinking his eyes for few times he finally asked "your husband!? But, when did you get married!?"
- "Today.. We got married today.." Victoria replied..
- "You are kidding with me, right sis?"
- Victoria shook her head "no Vincent, I am not.. I know, it's kind of shocking to learn that.. But, it's the truth.."
- "Why would you get married all of a sudden!?" He still couldn't believe the fact of his sister being married..
- "Umm.. I know it was sudden.. But, he ummm wanted to get married quickly because uuh his family was pressurising him, so..." Victoria somehow managed to blurb a story without knowing what she's saying..
- "O.. But, did you know each other from before?" He asked lowly.. Still struggling to digest the sudden news..
- "Oh! Yes! Ofcourse, we knew each other from before! Do you think I will marry a stranger! Ha-ha.. Who would do that!?" She said awkwardly..
- "Hmm.. okay.." He paused and then suddenly asked "you sure everything is okay? You are okay?" He asked seriously.. "You can tell me anything sis.. I will fight with anyone for you and save you.." He patted on his chest..
- Victoria felt warm in her heart.. How she wish to tell him everything and cried holding him tightly to her heart's content.. But, it's not possible to do..
- She side hugged him "I know Vinci.. But, trust me, nothing happened.. Everything is fine.. And do you know one thing? Your treatment is going to start soon!" She said excitedly..
- Vincent looked up at her with wide eyes "really!? My treatment is going to start!?"
- "Yes, baby!! It is!! And guess, your brother-in-law is going to help us with that!"
- "Wow, that's great! I will be able to live like other kids! That's great sis!" He hugged his sister happily..
- Suddenly he broke the hug and looked at Victoria in a serious manner..
- Victoria frowned "what is it? You okay?"
- "Did you marry him to arrange money for me?" He throw the question abruptly to her..
