"What did you want to know about them?" Sister Emilia asked.
"I don't know, just what they were like I guess." Camilla said with a shrug. She really wasn't sure what she wanted to learn about her brothers, but sothing kept telling her that she needed to learn more about their lives without her.
"Alright. I guess I'll start with how I t your brothers." Sister Emilia said with a shrug.
Camilla nodded and listened intently.
"I was actually classmates with Benedict and not Aiden. So it was Benedict that I had t first." Sister Emilia explained. "It was through Benedict that I t your brother."
"So you are older than ? You are Benedict's age." Camilla said slowly.
"Yes." Sister Emilia said with a nod.
"You honestly don't look old." Camilla said with a smile. "When I saw you I thought you were an actress dressed as a nun." Camilla said laughing.
"That is not the first ti I have heard that." Sister Emilia said, laughing as well.
"Did you really leave because Aiden broke your heart?" Camilla asked, she wanted to know the truth, and not Benedict's one sided story.
"That was one reason, but there were many." Sister Emilia said with a frown. "Aiden was a different person back then. You need to understand that Camilla."
Camilla nodded, knowing how much a person could change in a few years.
"When we were younger, it was Benedict that was the broken and angsty one." Sister Emilia said with a laugh. "He didn't have a lot of friends and people kept avoiding him because he was this emo kid back when emo wasn't even in."
"I could see Benedict as the sad brooding type." Camilla said with a grin. "As a rich man a lot of won would line up for the rich brooding CEO."
Sister Emilia laughed at Camilla's comnt.
"He used to talk about you a lot though." Sister Emilia said as her tone turned serious. "He would tell how he was sure you were still alive, that you must have survived."
"I thought he didn't think I had survived? I thought that was sothing he realized later on?" Camilla asked Sister Emilia.
"No, well at first when we were younger he insisted you were alive." Sister Emilia said, shaking her head. "Then a few years later he seed darker, sader for so reason. I think at this point Aiden had managed to convince him that you were dead."
"Aiden really poisoned his mind." Camilla said with a frown.
"I think it was your grandfather that poisoned them both." Sister Emilia explained.
"You t him?" Camilla asked, she was curious about this mysterious grandfather of thiers.
"Yes. Many tis." Sister Emilia said with a nod. "He liked , I think it was mainly because I belonged to the Lobo family who are very important in this province."
"So people just put too much importance on the family na, they don't even care to check the personality." Camilla said, shaking her head.
"Aiden was quite nice at first. He was a real gentleman. He was sad, but nice." Sister Emilia said as she recalled her mories of the brothers.
"They arrived right after your parents' death. So you could just imagine how sad they were." Sister Emilia explained. "But I rember Aiden helping out one day. You see, to kids, your family na didn't matter. All they saw was that I was so skinny kid that didn't wear anything branded."
"The Lobos also followed poverty training?" Camilla asked, she knew most rich families pampered their sons and daughter, so it was rare to hear about one getting bullied.
"In a way. But not the Lobos, it was my father's family. They believed that we didn't need the most popular brands or the most lavish anything, which is true when you think about it." Sister Emilia said with a shrug.
"So what happened?" Camilla asked.
"Well, so kids took my books and threw my bag in the trash can." Sister Emilia said with a frown. "I was crying, when a handso young man approached and checked up on ."
"Aiden?" Camilla asked.
"No, Benedict." Sister Emilia said with a sad smile.
"The bullies ca back, and it was Aiden that stood up for ." Sister Emilia explained. "He protected and Benedict, he took their insults and their punches. The Ortiz family was rich and popular in this province, but those bullies didn't care."
"I can't imagine Aiden being -" Camilla paused trying to think about the right word to say.
"Being that nice? That caring? That human?" Sister Emilia asked. "I can't believe how he turned out."
"Was he this cold and evil when you returned from the convent?" Camilla asked the nun.
"No. He wasn't this bad. He was cold and distant, but not evil." Sister Emilia said, shaking her head. "I don't think anyone is genuinely evil, Camilla. As long as we are alive we have a chance to change ourselves, to save ourselves, I think Aiden can still change."
"Aren't you mad about what he did to Jam?" Camilla asked in shock.
"I was furious!" Sister Emilia said angrily. "Don't you dare think I was okay with what he did. He will pay for his actions, soday. But it is not our place to deal out punishnt. We can only hope that people like him will change and get better."
"I don't understand how you can hope for him to get better." Camilla said, shaking her head.
"Because I know Aiden is capable of becoming a better person." Sister Emilia said with a sad smile. "I've seen the best of him when all he has shown people is the bad. He went bad when he used to be good."
"Emilia." Camilla said, unsure about what to say next.
"Camilla, he went bad because he thought you were murdered, anyone would lose their minds knowing soone they loved had died." Sister Emilia said. "I hope he can change back."
"I find it hard to see." Camilla said.
"He isn't all bad Camilla." Sister Emilia said, placing a hand on Camilla's shoulder.
