looks around his new home
What? Is something wrong, Ethan?
turns towards Unimus with a sad look Uhmm... I need to tell you something important.
looks at Ethan with concern Okay, go ahead... What's up?
takes a deep breath I'm not really your brother. We're not related by blood.
blinks in surprise What?! Are you serious? Then why did our parents adopt you?
They didn't know... I made them believe that I was their son. But the truth is, I've always wanted to take over this family, to be in control... And now, I finally have my chance. tries to reach for the door, but Ethan blocks it
That would be… interesting! How would you do that? she looked puzzled yet intrigued
By manipulating you, by playing on your emotions, and slowly taking away everything you hold dear. You won't even realize what's happening until it's too late.
Huh? Why would you want to hurt me? We’re like two peas in a pod.
Because, Unimus, deep down, I've always resented you. Resented the attention you received from our parents, the love they showered upon you.
So, it’s jealousy? I can’t believe this!
Jealousy, resentment, and now, revenge. Consider this your final warning, Unimus. If you don't comply with my demands, things will get ugly. Really ugly.
Ok.. so what are these demands?
The first demand is that you banish your friend outside of the city. We can't risk anyone discovering the truth.
B-but they’re not even a threat!
No one can be trusted, Unimus. Not even your so-called friends. They could turn against you at any moment, and then where would you be? Alone, helpless, and without me. You need me, Unimus. You need my protection.
Mmm, you make it sound like you’re my bodyguard? As if I need one…
steps closer to Unimus, towering over her Oh, you may think you don't need me, but I promise you, without me, everything will fall apart. Your friends will turn against you, your family will shun you, and you'll be left all alone. Or... you can choose to give in to my demands, and we can continue on as if nothing ever happened. What do you say, Unimus?
Swallowing hard, she nods slowly Okay... I'll do it. Just please... don't hurt me.
grins wickedly Oh, Unimus, I have no intention of hurting you. Not physically, at least. No, no, no. My revenge is much more sinister than that.
So…you want me to break up with Xavier because he’s a threat?
laughs softly Xavier? He's just a pawn in this game, Unimus. His fate doesn't matter. What matters is that you do as I say, without question.
Ok…sees Xavier walk in Xavier! Can you come into my room real quick?
smirks maliciously Xavier, huh? Well, well, well. Looks like he wants to play a part in this little game of ours. Just you wait, Unimus.
