Author's Note: Now for the chapter where things get interesting! But first to answer a few questions.
Reading Beta: "How did Xander missed the dinner where she was making the call right in front of her husband?" The dinner scene didn't happen yet. That's actually the start of this chapter. "That's why he had to come clean? Then why did he said he was a brother to Stolas?" This was actually a writer error. I made a goof and thought it would be a funny idea to show Xandar not fully in the loop. Let's begin!
Last time on Xandar's Helluva Adventures, secrets were revealed, conversations were had and a big decision was made. Now, Xandar moves in and an evil princess makes a plan.
Normal P.O.V:
The Night After The Festival...
Stella of the Ars Goetia, was not a pleasant woman. In fact, she was the worst person in hell. She was on the phone while Stolas and Octavia were eating with her at the table. "I failed to kill the target at the festival," a certain snake's voice said on the other end. "But don't worry ma'am, it won't happen again."
Stella sighed. "It better not," she growled drumming her talons on the table. "I want this cheating prick DEAD, I don't care who you have to go through, MAKE IT HAPPEN!" She screeched glaring at Stolas. Stolas was eating a steak and looked up at Stella wondering what she was angry about. Octavia was listening to music, so she thankfully heard none of it.
As Stella continues her death glare, Striker said, "Understood." Stella hung up the phone. Stolas raised an eyebrow.
"What?" He asked in annoyance. He may have been the prince, but Stella was the one with the pants, so to speak.
"Oh nothing," Stella replied in a mock singsong voice. "Just remembering how much of an embarrassment you are," she finished with a smirk.
"Fine," Stolas said rolling his eyes. "And Xandar WILL be moving in. He said yes," Stolas added with his own smirk.
Stella's gaze hardened more than possible and she growled. "So? What do I care about the fucking human?" She demanded.
Stolas pounded his fist on the table and Stella recoiled, though briefly. "That HUMAN, is my son and whether you like it or not there WILL be changes in your behavior or I will change our situation," he threatened. Stella jaw dropped.
The divorce. Something that's been on the table for awhile. Ever since Stolas first slept with Blitzo, divorce was both the first and last idea on his mind. Stella was also abusive as all Hell. It would be no loss to Stolas or Stella.
Octavia glared at her parents seeing them argue out of the corner of her eye. She then grabbed her food and walked to her room with it.
Stella growled. "You scared away our daughter!" She shouted.
"Well you scared her with your loud mouth!" Stolas snapped back.
"WHAT!?"

Xandar's P.O.V:
I held my suitcase in my hand and smiled up at the palace. As I take a few steps, I notice an Imp butler. He looks at me and nods as he opens the door. I walk in and take a deep breath. My dads house. My house. The butler clears his throat and I turn to him. He directs his attention to my suitcase and I nod. I hand it to him and give a bow.
The butler chuckles. "You don't need to bow to me. After all, I'm just a butler," he explains with a smile.
"But a kind butler," I reply pulling out two twenty dollar bills. The butler jaw dropped. He's about to ask me something but I hold up a hand. "I'm almost certain that being a butler is a thankless job. So this is a gift. Please, keep it and buy yourself something wonderful."
He smiles and a tear falls down his face. I gasp softly. He must have it rough. He wipes away his tears and puts the money in his pocket. "I am truly grateful sir," he sobs.
"Hey," I say with a kind smile. "Don't cry. I am just doing what I can for those who I feel need help." As the butler turns away I decide to ask him something. "What's your name?" I inquire.
"My name is Daniel, sir Xandar," he replied, smile still on his face. "It is an honor to meet you," he added carrying my suitcase to my room. As I walked I saw Octavia listening to music. She turned to me and gasped.
"Xandar!" She shouted in happiness and ran up to me giving me a hug. "How are you brother?" She asked with a wide smile.
"I'm good Octavia," I replied. "I'm living here now. Isn't that exciting?" I inquired happily already knowing the answer.
"It is! Wow!" Octavia beamed. "We can watch scary movies and go to the taxidermy store! Oh my gosh! There's so much we can do!" She cheered. I chuckled at her cheeriness. However, when I turned my head I saw the mother, Stella. She wore a scowl.
"Hello," I say deadpan. Stella rolled her eyes, scoffed and walked away. "Well, she's cheery huh?" I deadpan again. Realizing I'm talking with Octavia I gasp. "Oh shit. Sorry Octavia..." I trailed off. Great job idiot. Piss off your adopted sister.
"Hey, it's ok Xandar," she replied. "She's just been irritable lately...especially with that tall Imp." It didn't take me long to figure out it was Blitzo. I sighed. I knew the situation. I just didn't think Octavia knew.
"I understand," I replied with a sigh. I felt so bad. Hopefully one day I can explain the situation. But would that make everything better?
"And, no offense Xandar," Octavia continued, "I don't know how you can be friends with him." Ah, isn't that true?
I voiced my true opinion. "Sometimes, I don't know either," I said.

Normal P.O.V:
Daniel was placing Xandar's items in his room. He actually liked Xandar. He seemed like a good man. As he smiled and even whistled a bit, a shadow loomed over him.
"Hello Daniel," Stella growled. Daniel gasped and jumped at attention. "Now, I want to know one thing," she demanded.
"Wh-what's that ma'am?" Daniel stuttered in fear.
"Can you get an old camera? With the paper photos?" Stella demanded. This confused Daniel to no end. Stella then motioned towards herself. Daniel obliged and she whispered in his ear. When he heard, he gasped.
"No," Daniel growled.
"WHAT?!" Stella roared.
"NO MADAM!" Daniel roared as well. "Xandar's a good person and I will NOT, take part in your petty plan!"
Stella turned redder thank a tomato and reached into her dress pulling out a pistol. Cocking the fun she pointed it at Daniel. The butler however, stood his ground. "Now, you can either go along with this, or I shoot you in a non fatal place and make you suffer for DAYS," she threatened.
"You. Wouldn't. DARE," Daniel spat venomously. Stella nodded. "If you make me do it," he continued, "I'll tell Xandar!" He threatened.
Stella smirked. "Fine," she answered. As she walked by Daniel she quickly pulled out a knife, grabbed Daniel's mouth and stabbed him in the shoulder. He screamed at the searing hot pain, though it was muffled. Blood began to drip down his shoulder. "You will partake and you WILL keep your mouth shut. Got it?" She demanded. Daniel nodded.
As Stella began to walk away, Daniel said one more sentence on the matter. "You are a fucking, petty, bitch." Stella chuckled in response and left the room. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the forty dollars, tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry, Xandar." He then placed the money down and walked away.
Author's Note: I'll be honest, I took so long because of two reasons. One, I had massive writers block. Reason two, is because we're nearing the end. About seven chapters left, give or take. And believe me, when we get to the end, you guys are going to either get mad or be annoyed. And disclaimer, it has nothing to do with the vision. Rather, it's because of Stella's plan. I've had this all mapped out since chapter one. And since season 2 will be adapted, you guys don't have to worry about a long wait. I will update more frequently.
As well, I already have a plan for season 2. With that said, the vision won't happen until later on. Or at least, until Season 2 of Helluva Boss officially ends. So we'll see on that. Or it could change based on where season 2 goes.
I do want to thank you guys for reading and I hope you all understand that I DO keep my audience in mind. You guys have made this experience for writing worth it and I really can't thank you all enough!
Next time on Xandar's Helluva Adventures, Xandar, Moxxie and Blitzo are kidnapped by agents and subjected to pain. But with pain, comes terrible revelations.
