“Michelle! Michelle! Michelle! Melissa!!.” Xander growls really angry stomping into his house, his eyes bloodshot.
“OMG, I think the big bad wolf is back.” Michelle says giggling loudly, Melissa taste the stew she’s cooking, made a sour face and says, “Yeah, I can literally taste his anger on my stew.”
“Aww, that’s really bad. How dare he spoil the stew taste with his temper, I was really looking forward to eating that stew with some delicious potatoes.” Michelle cries out in horror, staring at the stew sadly.
“Michelle!! Melissa!! Melissa!!.” Xander yells, a low guttural sound coming from the deepest part of his stomach.
“For the love of God brother, stop yelling our name, we are right here in the kitchen.” Melissa yells from the kitchen, rolling her eyes at an unseen Xander.
“Don’t you dare talk to me in that tone Melissa, what the heck happened to my credit card, and where is my credit card. Give it back to me now before you start making any of your stupid explantation.” Xander instructs stretching his hands forth. Melissa sighs boredly, takes out the credit card from her gown pocket reluctantly, walked over to where Xander is and place the credit card, on Xander outstretched hand. “Here have it, hope you’re happy.” She snarls at him, her teeth bared.
“Happy, you think I’m happy. Why in the world, would I be happy. The both of you just spent my money, my hard earn money. Do you think money grow on the trees, tell me. Do you think?.” He growled, his face getting redder than before.
“I know money doesn’t grow on trees, but I also know I shouldn’t be stinging with it when I have it.” Melissa drawls, Michelle stood in the kitchen, staring at both siblings awkwardly.
“So because I don’t spend money, it now makes me stinging right?.” Xander utters in unbelief.
“Yes it does, tell me when was the last time that tailor of yours sew you any new batch of suits.” Melissa snorts, her nostril flaring.
“Because I don’t feel it’s necessary, us there anything wrong with what I’m wearing huh?. Why don’t you just get it that I’m working my ass out for our future children, I don’t want then to go through the hardship we both went through.” His words hits her really hard, she doesn’t want to remember those days, those date of walking through the street barefooted, begging for food. Those days of being homeless with no one to care for them. Michelle could see the argument between the siblings is becoming to personal, so she quietly left the kitchen.
“Just because we suffered then doesn’t mean we have to suffer now, we have the money, so let’s enjoy it. I’m not saying we should just lavish the money spend it all. I’m saying we should at least use the money, not manage stuffs like we are some kind of paupers.” Melissa argues, getting hysterical.
“You would never ever see sense in what I’m saying, you never see the need for us to save. Argh.” Xander yells out frustratedly, he hits the kitchen wall then walked out of the kitchen angrily.
“You have enough money to last a whole generation!.” Melissa exclaims, exasperated, throwing her hands up in the air.

“Hey.” Michelle says, walking into Melissa room with a tray of fresh juice.
“Hey.” Melissa replies her back, looking up from her laptop. Michelle smiles at her, placed the tray in her hands on the bed next to Melissa. “I just thought I should make you this, you look a little bit shaken by the argument you and your brother had.”
“Thanks, I do really need a fresh cold juice to calm my nerves. I always said that my brother’s secretary are really trying working under him, he is an ass.” Melissa let’s out, sipping from the glass of cold juice.
“Yup, a big ass.” Michelle concurs, and they both laugh.
“What are you watching?.” Michelle asks Melissa, her eyes on the laptop.
“It’s nothing really, just watching the helstrom.” Melissa replies her eyes going back to her laptop screen.
“Really, have been dying to watch that movie. Is the season 2 out?.” Michelle asks, already making herself comfortable on Melissa’s bed.
“Nah, I don’t know think so.” Melissa replies her, playing the movie.
Halfway through the movie, (episode 4) Melissa close the laptop, sighs exaggeratedly then turns around to face Michelle, “Spit it out.”
“Spit… what… out?.” Michelle questions staring at Melissa with a confused face.
“You know what I mean Michelle. Spit out the questions in your mind, spit them out.” Melissa says, staring at her with a pointed look.
“Okay fine, you got me. I was just being curious.” Michelle replies with a meek smile.
“About the fight I and my brother had in the kitchen, right?.” Melissa asks facing her.
“Yeah.” Michelle answered.
“Xander and I aren’t really siblings. Xander ran away from the orphanage when he was 10 years old, I got separated from my parents when I was five, although I lost my memory, I just have this repetitive dream of the night I got separated from my family but this is not the story right now.” Melissa paused for a while then continued. “Well, Xander met me on the streets and that’s how he became my brother. We both did all sorts of job, begged for alms. And there you have it, Xander’s back up story.” Melissa concludes.
“Wow, that’s really a lot. So sorry about your memory loss and parents.”
“It’s okay Michelle, it happened a long time ago. Since your curiosity has been fed, can we go back to watching….”
“Michelle, pack your bags and leave my house, the deal is over, you won, you can leave now.” Xander growled barging in to Melissa’s room.
“What! But why?.” Melissa exclaims getting up from the bed.
“Because we had a deal, and she just won, so yeah she can leave now.” Xander said the walked out of the room not waiting for their reply.
“Ugh, this cannot be happening.” Melissa let’s out sadly.
“Yeah, it can’t be happening cause your brother hasn’t taken a megaphone out on the streets declaring his love for me.” Michelle says with a huge smirk on her face.
“Yeah, that’s right. Let’s see how my brother the billionaire would be able to announce his love with a megaphone on the streets.” Melissa says returning Michelle’s smirk.
