The drive back to the mansion was silent as a graveyard, Xena was admiring nature, Anika had her eyes closed while Sadie scrolled through her Instagram account
It was silent till Sadie let out a gasp
"School is resuming earlier this semester, we're resuming next week"
"Oh" Xena said with a half smile, Anika just kept her eyes closed without saying anything
"Sometimes I wonder what did Draco do to you with the one year you spent with him when you first came" Sadie asked
Anika opened her eyes at the question but didn't reply
"I think Why are you so cold and unpredictable, should be the question sadie" Xena said
Anika looked at them and chuckled before staring out the window

"Dad are you even listening to me" the shrill voice said in anger
The man sighed and spoke "listen Princess, Daddy is in a tight position right now the boss-"
The voice whined across the phone "but dad, you need to deal with her, her name is Anika"
"Princess i- did you just say Anika?" The man asked
The girl scoffed "I thought you didn't want me to tell you"
"I'm so sorry kyla, tell me everything" the man requested
"So Camilla and I went to the mall....she twisted my arm....then the girl yelled.... Anika" Ruby said
"Daddy will deal with it" the man hung up and smirked.

"So she's in Italy and with the Christianos uh?" The man with the cigarette said with a scoff, the reported nodded "yes boss, apparently she's in a beef with my daughters"
The man slowly burnt out the cigarette and said "tell your daughters to keep an eye on her, I want every information about her, book me a flight to Italy, I'm taking back what's mine"
"Yes boss"

"Anika!!"
"What?!! You're disturbing my alone time" Anika snapped and Sadie scoffed "don't be like this, I need help in picking out cute outfit"
Xena who had a lollipop in her mouth crushed the lollipop and laughed "have you ever seen Anika wear something cute?"
"If you are not supporting me then leave Xena" Sadie pouted, Xena scoffed and walked out
"Urg Xena I was kidding" Sadie whined and Anika stood up "I'm leaving"
With that being said she walked out, Sadie pouted but then her phone rang and she lit up with excitement
—————————————–————–
Xena was in the garden with a vanilla ice cream in a bowl as she wondered around in the garden, she reached an apple tree and pouted "how come I've never seen this tree before, it's even ripe and full of fruits"
"It's not for eating"
"Ah" Xena screamed-jumped startled when Oliver jumped from the tree behind her, her ice-cream falling the the floor
"Oh damn it I haven't finished that"Xena whined
"I will get you another" Oliver said but Xena held his arm, she immediately let it go when he turned "it's no need I'll do myself"
Oliver suddenly leaned in and her breath almost stopped
Oliver brushed the ice cream on the corner of her lips with his fingers and licked it. Xena gasped in shock, her eyes widening
"Would you two not romance while I'm trying to sleep"
The duo turned to the owner of the voice and Oliver scoffed while Xena rolled her eyes so hard she could see her past
"You have a room for a reason" Oliver talked with a pissed off voice
Xena noticed and excused herself while slapping her face
Jason stood up from the flower bed and walked past Oliver "try to pick somewhere that I'm not there"
Jason left and Oliver sighed when he heard footsteps, he turned and saw Anika with a disapproving look "you're the type that send wrong signals to girls, don't make that mistake with Xena, you'll regret it"
Anika said with a threatening tone and Oliver shivered remembering what she did to him last year.

The plane landed and minutes later, a slender figure walked out with a man holding unto his luggage.
He looked around and smirked "the smell of Italy is refreshing"
The man walked into the already prepared car and drove off.
