RECAP:

"So basically you cleaned up his mess, to save your self. I understand. But why hasn't Michael, nor Lawrence mentioned this to me? And does Mimi know of him?"

"I mean this is old news. Centuries of old news- of course they forgot about him. And as for me, well- He is not something I want to brag about- if you know what I mean. and yes Mimi knows him, or at lease I think she knows him. He loved to play tricks on people- especially the women I slept with. He would pretend he was me and of course they fell for the tricks, since they had no idea I had a twin. Last time I checked he went into hiding. What made you bring his name up? I wonder though where he is, now that I think about it. But when he decides to kill again, I will-"

"But people change right?"

"Ok, now this is getting a little-"

"He's marrying Schuyler!"

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Kingsley and Jack decided their main course of action would be to visit with the Regent.

And so they did.

"Araquiel, Abbadon- take a seat. Can Allegra get you boys a drink or anything else before we proceed?" Charles offered cordially,

"No. we're good. We rather deviate our matter at hand accordingly,"

Charles gestured both his hands in inquiry,

"Well, what is the big emergency gentlemen?"

" Michael do you remember my twin brother?" Kingsley inquired pointedly, Allegra gasped and nodded, as Michael smiled,

"Asmodeus- royal Arch demon: the former Prince of the European court: who is now using his alias: Aries De Angelo- and has an uncanny resemblance to you I believe, correct?"

Jack and Kingsley shared a look of incredulous,

Kingsley nodded, "So you do remember then?"

"Yes of course. Why?" Charles asked,

"Why is he no longer a fugitive known within the blue blood database?" Asked Kingsley,

"He requested, that we keep his file confidential, when concerning you, so we must. So what exactly is this about?" Charles asked,

"Schuyler is engaged to him and she most likely doesn't know who he is really, or what he's capable of," Kingsley said in a panicked tone

Allegra retorted, "Oh dear god Charles-" she was bewildered, "We have to do something- he's the one who practically drained a whole village in one night!" Charles wasn't even a bit peeved about Schuyler's choice of mate,

"Gabrielle- you seem to have forgotten the back story of the real truths, of why the late Metraton vouched for Asmodeus in this matter of speaking?" Allegra then calmed pensively in deep thought, as she sat down.

Kingsley didn't like this. Not one bit. It reeked like B.S! there has to be a reason why Lawrence: the late Metraton would vouch in clearing the Arch of one of the worst evils among the fallen, his evil sinister twin, Asmodeus -

The truth was Metraton and Michael had owed Asmodeus for assisting them at the last minute during the great war in Rome by lending his many legions of Demon from hell, whom he is co guardian of. He is commander to the sinister demons. Asmodeus turned out to be mislead, and lost. that's it. He was addicted to blood. He was weak when it came to addiction, and temptation, so his blood lust took its toll on him. It took control of his demon side. Naturally his soul is half Arch angel and half Demon. They were mislead to believe he was the fallen angel Satan, because Satan was the same breed, and born of Arch Demon. But Satan however never made it to the fall and was eliminated immediately at gods behest, which is why Araquiel and Asmodeus became the twins, taking Satan's place in carnal. Metatron and Michael once thought that Kingsley was the evil one- which was a big misunderstanding. So even though Asmodeus had killed innocent red bloods in the moment 0f bloodlust, he was not evil. The true meaning of Asmodeus is the Angel of Balance. He was made up of two parts Good/ Evil.

When Asmodeus saw what he had become, he knew he needed help and remembered two certain powerful angels he assisted long ago with his many legions of demons, knowing they had no choice but to help him discretely with his blood lust issues. They got him the best help he needed to get better. He needed to disappear after, live among the humans because he didn't want to be apart of any blue blood coven period, he just wanted to try and lead a normal life, to his dispair, he lived in loneliness and dealt with his demons in penance. Just disappear. So that is when he went into confinement rehabilitation for his blood lust. that's how he became Aries De Angelo. The angel of Balance. Reborn. Kingsley didn't know that Satan was the evil one he had thought his lost brother was. Michael knew he couldn't show Kingsley the actual files of his twin. But he did let him in to the glom of his mind so Kingsley could understand better and drop his rivalry with his brother. Though Kingsley should be relieved that Schuyler wasn't in any danger- he still somehow felt disappointment because he had nothing on his twin after all. He had to just face the fact that he actually lost her fair and square.

Schuyler Bliss and Aries were already at the airport waiting for Jack. Jack was running late though, since Mimi had also returned as well. Mimi was with Jack in their rented caravan. When they got to the airport, the twins were so shocked by the startling uncanny resemblance to Kingsley, that Aries De Angelo held. His eyes were ultra aqua blue, beautiful. Mimi gasped eyeing how her most missed bestie Schuyler has grown up even the more gorgeous than before. Mimi of course was as beautiful as ever. Bliss still had her big red hair in curls and waves of streaked platinum with roasted honey tint highlights, she was beautiful as well of course. Mimi had surprised herself with how much she had grown accustomed to Schuyler, whom was once an obstacle in her way to Jack- yet somehow has managed to win Mimi over completely. As soon as she found out Schuyler was coming back to town for a visit, she knew it was her chance to tell Schuyler how she felt about her abrupt departure skipping town, five years ago without asking her how she felt about it first. In fact, Schuyler was so dejected with life from her broken marriage with her true love that she didn't even care to notice the ones she was effecting by not moving on with her life. She didn't even invite Mimi to join in the fashion runway world opportunity which Schuyler should've known Mimi enjoyed herself back then. She felt misplaced, and unwanted by Schuyler's disregard to her period.

Truly Schuyler didn't think about it. She didn't even realize until now, just how much she missed then when she was in her own little world. Mimi would call her everyday trying to reach out to her regarding her little crisis she was facing at the time because of Jack.

Yes Mimi noticed Jack wasn't same Abbadon he once was before. She also was no longer the Azrael known for her bitchy high maintenance disposition. She actually cares for others now. She has Schuyler to thank for sudden change of heart, though at times can peg out to feel like nothing more than a curse.

Mimi frowned when she got out of the caravan to welcome her friends back home. Schuyler was surprised to see Mimi back. She also felt guilty for never calling her back ever. She always had her assistant call sending her regards, which was a little messed up when you think about it. She did the same thing with her mother and little sister Winter who is almost 9 years old already and looks like her sister so much that her fellow classmates always call her little Skye. She is a real hit these days with her witty little personality, and Bendix finds it real nerve wrecking because Winter is already dating. Not dating per se , but has a boyfriend named London.

Mimi crossed her arms over her chest, and snorted at Schuyler, "Well, well, look who decided to finally come home! Well, aren't you going to give your soon to be stepsister a hug, and then introduce your substitute beau for Kingsley, or what?"

Aries winced incredulously, he even froze in spot. Jack noted this and right away said,

"She doesn't know what she's talking about- come on, lets get out of here already before the Paparazzi catch up with us and start making this trip complicating." Mimi rolled her eyes as Schuyler stood there brooding at Mimi, nervously, then hugged her and said,

"He doesn't know about Kingsley yet- please keep it that way for now?"

Mimi laughed, "Please! Oh my darling Schuyler- I know you cant be that naïve dear- he is Kingsley's twin by birth, but your right about him not knowing about your marriage to his more charming half" Mimi was being absurd, and impossible. She was angry, Schuyler knew it. But she just hoped that Mimi can forgive and forget already, what is done, is fin. Schuyler was too distracted and a nervous mess to catch Mimi's word's with understanding.

"I must say though Jack, you strike me as someone familiar- but I suppose you wouldn't remember right away since it was three , maybe two cycles ago?" Aries inquired,

Jack smiled, "Yes I actually do remember you now- Araquiel's twin brother Asmodeus the prince" Schuyler went pale, and gulped, now eyeing Aries gravely, she certainly caught that this time around. Twins? her heart ached, and she felt sick. Well of course they would be twins. Of course! How could she be so stupid not to see this coming. But Kingsley never mentioned his brother, neither did Aries for that matter.

he frowned, when Schuyler looked away, then it hit him like a big ton of steel, he gasped, replaying Mimi's words from moments ago,

"Well, well, look who decided to finally come home! Well, aren't you going to give your soon to be stepsister a big hug, and then introduce your 'substitute beau' for 'Kingsley' or what?"

He turned his body toward her, giving her his intense stare that he usually gives when ever he's upset about something she did. Demanding answers. Yes they fight. They are just normal that way as every other growing couple.

'Schuyler, explain to me please? I'm dying here in the hot seat, and I need resolve before I go mad and disappear' he grabbed a hold of her hand, and squeezed once, "What did she mean by Substitute beau for Kingsley?" Aries voiced,

Schuyler knows they were all listening intently, especially Jack, he wanted her with Kingsley and not Aries, she knew it.

When they got to the estate everyone was there waiting for their arrival, including a certain charming handsome heart sickened Kingsley with his date. If Schuyler was uncomfortable with seeing him with someone else, she didnt show it. Besides what does she need him for when she has a twin copy. she then realized what she just thought and brooded mentally conflicted. how could she think that way about the man she loves, though she has yet to tell him that. she cant bring herself to tell him that yet. a little traumatized from before. It seemed loving Kingsley so much had been her down fall. she couldnt believe she nearly killed herself over him. it isnt his fault ir anything. and no she doesnt blame him for all the pain she suffered. the sleepless nights' swollen eyes that felt so sore from overcrying her self. she cried even when she no longer had any more tears to shed. it was unhealthy. if it weren't for her bestie Jack, she wouldve never gotten through it. she watched Aries go rigid when he caught a glimpse of his brother. he looked away and then eyed Schuyler with knowing eyes. they meddled around for a while. Schuyler grew suddenly annoyed with herself, for looking at him, and not being able to stop. she tried looking away numbers of times, but simply sobered up when she heard a distinctive clear of the throat. she looked up finding Aries watching her intently. Did he watch her the whole time she was staring at Kingsley? she wasnt sure but when she entered the glom she innertly shuddered, he was

Schuyler was so surprised that everyone was there for her and Bliss, also Mimi because she was also out of town for a long while as well. When Schuyler spotted Kingsley again, this time his gaze met hers- he grinned that annoyingly sexy signature- stop it! she gulped, chastising herself, your engaged to be married to Aries! and he is just as sexy as... because she saw his hand clasped into another woman's hand, she felt envious like an obsessed ex. A woman who was quite beautiful. Schuyler suddenly feeling less than beautiful, arriving at a Welcome home party, where everyone was well dressed for the occasion. before she could protest Aries let go of her hand and walked away hurt. Schuyler tried to not look at him again. What is this about him, she is weak. she is quite strong actually after all the mayhem she survived by her will, well any one really who could survive what she did is a true warrior. she dropped the emotions like nothing to it. and disregarded him completely trying to find her man.

Kingsley frowned when she dropped him from her attention coldly impassively without effort. God she was the hottest alive to him. he wanted to die when he saw her holding his less charming version of his self... ok he is being ridiculous and he knows it.

Schuyler's mom, Charles, her father Ben, Winter, Oliver, Dylan came over to greet her, Schuyler had tears in her eyes to see Charles and everyone else she seemed to just realize that she had missed terribly.

"Oh Oliver! I caant believe how much you've changed! look good" she hugged him tightly,

Oliver grinned and eyed Schuyler approvingly, "And you look more gorgeaous than ever- if that's even possible!" Aries didnt like what he was seeing, who was that now?

Winter was wearing a black halter with a jean jacket and boots, she looked advanced for nine years old. Winter pulled some older looking boy by his hand insistently, "Hey sis this is my boyfriend London, London, my beautiful sister Schuyler" Winter was already growing into a teenager, and she was barely a pre teen. She looked too advanced to be the little baby with diapers, missing front teeth, and beautiful blue eyes like her own.

"A boyfriend? Already? Dad?" Schuyler chided incredulous, her father shrugged,

"She's very stubborn. Trust me, I didn't like it one bit" Charles then placed an assuring hand on her shoulder, emitting only warmth and assurance.

"Sounds a little like someone we all know and love" he winked at her earning himself a grin and blush from Schuyler, she nodded and shook the nervous blonde haired green eyed boy who reminded her of someone though he dressed exactly like her sister, in black. Goth. They certainly had the same tastes in boys.

"Nice to meet you London." he kissed her hand and Winter rolled her eyes and pulled him away telling him to get her a drink in a demanding way. He looked intimidated by her sister, who was grinning with a malice gleam in her eyes which slightly worried Schuyler. At lease she was in control and not the other way around.

Aries decided it was time to claim his woman openly, so he wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, making her gasp out in surprise, "Oh I want to introduce you guys to my-"

Aries retorted, "Her fiancé, Aries De Angelo- and I already know these two- their eyes seem to never change throughout every cycle, just like Abbadon's and Azrael's eyes." Schuyler hated when he did that. She inertly frowned but then found her self and excused her self during their little recap discussions of their past. Her father found it fascinating, and stayed quipped for the details. But she needed to unpack anyway. She tried to ignore the gnawing in her heart after she thought of the image with Kingsley holding someone who wasn't her in his arms. Everyone looked further engaged in to interesting conversations with her fiancé to consider her troubles and inner conflict regarding a ping of heartache and twinge of guilt among a whole mess of other emotions shaking her spirit. She bit back her readied, heavy tears when she realized someone was considering her the whole time. Mimi.

Mimi was regarding her with every intention to chide her on about how she felt, but when Schuyler turned toward her with those deep cerulean eyed filled with nothing but anguish, all was forgotten and she opened her arms and did something she never thought would happen, she dropped her feelings aside for later, to regard someone else's. she brought Schuyler into a comforting, soothing hug. Mimi showed her to her room and closed the door so they can catch up with each other. Schuyler felt a little better and ignored the gut churning sensation so she could get rid of the intensity thrill she got from this near to him again.

"So where did you go Mimi, leaving your poor twin who missed you deeply alone?" she rolled her eyes at Schuyler,

"You would know had you actually answered my phone calls-" she snorted, but Schuyler looked at her hands, then frowned, "I mean what's up with that anyway? First you leave, telling my brother to send me your regards? I don't get it Schuyler, I thought we were beyond casualness?" meaning doing something by chance without thinking about it first,

"Mimi I know I wasn't right- and I'm so sorry for shutting you out- but your in a relationship with someone, and I couldn't possibly ask of you to leave it for me!" it was true, Mimi thought. She had a good point. Though she would've left anyway since she was lonely without having to save the world with Schuyler and the rest of clan against the silver bloods. She missed getting a phone call urging her to help with a cause regarding her best friend- lets be honest here- its not a normal occurrence that your friend is put in a predicament where the dark prince himself is always trying to escape his prison through either scheming his way into getting his henchmen to inject Schuyler with some incantation spell that will put your friend into another dimension where Lucifer hails, using her husbands form to seduce her and impregnate her and be reborn into this world using the baby as his vessel. And it certainly isn't normal to find out your best friend has been compromised with Lucifer's soul exchange incantation and that he is now using her body as his own to manipulate everyone in to subordination.

"I suppose you have a point- so what do you say we start all over, just us two bonded women?"

"Not bonded yet." says a voice from the door, Aries. Mimi turned red and Schuyler went pale. Mimi excused her self, while Aries had just walked in and secured the door.

"That was rude of you" she pointed out.

He smiled bitterly, "Yeah well I have reasons for being rude" she felt herself getting frustrated and angry, she stood up meeting his challenge,

"What the hell is wrong with you? I don't even know why your mad!" she frowned,

He turned away apparently frustrated as well, "When were you planning to tell me that you were married before? Or were even going to tell me at all?" he hissed, now turning to her again, his eyes a bit darker, he had an edge to him,

"It was annulled. Therefore it never happened anyway- why would I tell you about something that never happened in the first place!" she growled,

He stepped closer suspiring, "Horse shit! Why don't we be honest with each other for a moment-"

"Yeah, why don't we-why didn't you ever mentioned to me about you having a twin? You could've told me about your brother before and maybe this wouldn't had happened!" she stepped closer, now inches apart. The tension was radiating the room,

He shook his head huffing, "Your impossible- why would I want to tell you about him, someone who hates my guts, who never once tried to help when I reached out to him when I needed him most-" he was near tears, in anger, Schuyler didn't back down yet, she wanted know everything now.

"What do you mean? that doesn't sound like Kingsley- he has a good heart!"

He bit back tears and groaned, turning away now again, walking to the bed to sit down and put his face into his hands,

"You would know him right? Of course you would. I'm such an idiot. that's why you commented before that I reminded you of someone right?" she sighed and sheepishly nodded, "Well I'll be damned- that's why you loved me, that's why you were in love so quickly- it was because you were still in love with my brother- who is the one who filed for the annulment which you were not prepare for- you don't really love me and that's why you never tell me you love me! you are using me as his substitute like Mimi said!"

"No! how could you say that to me? I don't tell you that because the last time I opened myself to someone that way, I got my heart broken- Aries, but i do- I mean I- I" Schuyler threw her arms around him as he recoiled, trying to push her away,

"Don't. Schuyler don't touch me!" he growled now standing up grabbing his suitcase of clothing to walk out. Even though Schuyler was there pleading,

"Please don't go-I-I-" he eyed her hopeful, but then frowning realizing she hesitated because she didn't love him,

"You what?" he pressed,

She eyed him tears in her eyes, "I-" she tried and could say it? Why couldn't she say it? Does she really him?

He shook his head giving up "You cant even say it. I'm going to do you a favor and end this before someone gets hurt-" he whispered now cupping her cheek adoringly eyeing her, with longing, "I love you. You see how easy it was for me to say it? Good bye Schuyler"

Before he could leave, Schuyler felt a streak of anger suddenly, and growled,

"Fine! Take your stupid ring back, I don't want it! And get out of here! Go!" she threw the ring against his chest, as he stood there feeling his heart break, he didn't want to end on bad terms ever. He never thought it would ever end period. She was it for him. He watched her go from angry to broken, she sobbed , and he felt horrible watching her hug herself, he picked up the ring, wanting to at lease reconcile their friendship, but she screamed at him when he tried to comfort her,

"Leave!" she hissed, now pushing him out of her room,

And he was gone. he managed to sneak out without anyone seeing him.

It was dress fitting day. It turned out that the best man was Kingsley, her date. Then goes Mimi and Jack, Bliss and Dylan, and the flower girl Winter. Everyone was too busy in a rush to notice they were missing a person. They came in their own cars, they didn't think to wake Schuyler up- or so Bliss did, or she thought she did at lease.

"Where's Schuyler honey?" Allegra asked Bliss, Bliss frowned,

"She said she had her own ride, and not to worry about her."

Allegra went into the restroom to try and contact her through the glom, but found Schuyler with a aura of grey cloud wrapped around her. She was depressed. She went to Mimi and Jack who were now talking to Kingsley about the new business Jack had started recently,

"Guys, have you seen my raven haired angel? I'm worried" no one but Mimi knew about the fight. She didn't want to tell anyone about Aries leaving, everyone thought the two lovebirds locked themselves together in their room all weekend- Mimi was in on keeping Schuyler's break up a secret, she was taking two plates of breakfast to their room every morning since they came. She new why Schuyler wanted it secret. Because of Kingsley.

"What is it Mimi? I know you know something- your aura says so"

Mimi offensively crossed her arms over her chest, "Do not!" she snorted sheepishly, Kingsley now eyeing the blonde intensely, for answers,

Jack clueless, eyeing everyone quizzically,

Charles Force feeling he was needed right away coming down to them, and said,

"Madeleine Force-" he pushed, she groaned,

"I gave her my word- and plus you cant make me do anything!" she snorted with her chin up, and Kingsley then stepped in front of her, and narrowed his gaze,

"Princess-" he tried, she only stomped her foot,

She yelped, "Oh, why do I always have to be put in the middle! This isn't even none of our business- why don't you just ask her to tell you herself, I will not break my word for anybody- and you Kingsley, can go to hell calling me that! As if!" she snorted sashaying off. Now they were contemplating who was to go- it was either Ben her father, Charles, or Allegra- however Kingsley Martin instinctively rushed to the exit and called out,

"I'm going to her- don't worry I'll see what's going on." they shared a wary look. Charles however smiled mischievously because he and Allegra were testing him to see if he still loves her, since Kingsley manages to keep his feelings hidden perfectly.

Kingsley knew he had to go, because he felt something this morning was wrong to begin with. He also hasnt seen Schuyler or Aries leave their room since they came. and from the way Mimi reacted to the inquiry she revealed that Schuyler didn't want any one to know- her mistake was when she narrowed her gaze at his in that moment.

When he got to the house, his stomach felt heat again, as if she was calling for him.

Her door was locked and no one would answer, so he had to use the glom to open the locked door with a click, he opened it to find her in fetal position, on the floor with plates of untouched food, windows closed, shutters down, it was dark in there. Gloomy, like death. She looked as if she would be awake, but she was snoring lightly, which he still found adorable. Her clothes were thrown all over the place, and she was only in her lingerie, with a towel wrapped around her head. She was there for a while, he could tell. She maybe was having a clothing malfunction, or at least he hoped that was the case. He surveyed the room, 'Where is Aries?' he thought. He didn't see his luggage, he also noted the naked ring finger, she no longer was wearing the engagement ring! he suddenly thought to pick her up and put her on the bed in order to , he took her arms and wrapped them around his neck, then couldn't resist breathing in her intoxicating scent. She right away opened her eyes and said,

"Oh Aries- I knew you'd come back!" she murmured groggily, then caught him off guard with a nice pick me up kiss. He attempted to pull back to tell her it was him, and not Aries, but she only deepened the electrifying kiss and pulled him tighter in to her addictive sweetened lips- which made his body respond deeper into desire. He thought for a second, what was the right thing to do? He knew he better hurry and decide because things already heated up within seconds that they ended up on the bed! Damned if I do/ Damned if I don't!
