The time stood still at the prom as the moving images displayed one of the darkest deepest secrets ever known amongst the students. Here he was Viggo Rosario kissing Angelia Andovini. They were enemies. They weren't meant to be kissing on a rooftop of a hotel and get caught. The room was totally silent. As minutes went by and the audience were taking in what they were seeing, it was Niall who broke the silence " Woah. What is this? Romeo and Juliet." He then laughed at his own joke..."People get back to your dancing. There is nothing to see here."

Niall then whispered to Cristina who was staring right at Vincenzo worriedly " Why are these people so dramatic?"

Vincenzo had a stone cold expression as he was watching the tape. He wanted to watch the entire screening. He wanted to see it all. He watched as his brother was wrapping his arms around a forbidden love. What was he thinking? Had he lost his mind? Maybe he was drunk? Maybe he was drugged? Maybe he was forced at gun point to kiss this enemy of theirs.

Vienna was covering her mouth watching the screen trembling. Tristan approached her slowly and placed his hand on her waist " Vienna... Calm down..."

Vienna turned to Tristan " My brother... He is in so much trouble. What is he going to do?"

Then she turned to screen. She watched as the scenes unfolded. But then there was one person who wasn't interested. Tiziana. Vienna wat he'd in horror as Tiziana walked upto Juliano and slapped him hard. Then she gasped in horror as Juliano grabbed her roughly and forcefully kissed her which immediately was met by protests from Vitale, Andreas and half the Italian kids. But it was Scorpious who got there first and grabbed  Juliano. He threw him to the ground. Juliano roared " This is war." He then stood up and the boys got into an intense fight. Within seconds the stage was filled with groups of boys fighting. Some were on julianos side and some were on Scorpius's side. The scene was a mess. The American kids tried hard to separate the Italian kids. It was a buzzard fight. A mess.

Tristan shook his head as he ordered the guards to guide the girls to a safe room on the same floor until he took control of the situation. Tristan apologetically turned to Vienna. Give me a minute to sort them out. Ok. Please just go with the guards."

Vienna didn't reply and watched Tristan walk away. She wasn't interested in going to safety. Her eyes only watched Vincenzo's next moves at that moment. She followed him. Vincenzo was taking heavy steps towards the elevators. Vienna was certain he wanted to go to the roof top to confront Viggo. She was petrified. He looked furious. She ran after Vincenzo and caught upto him on time just when he stepped inside the elevator.

Tristan's eyes widened as he spotted where she had gone as he was shouting at the boys to stop and go to his father's office to wait. He quickly got Sebastiano and Trent to repeat his orders as the American boys were trying to separate the two sides on the Italian group of boys. Tristan knew he didn't have long to get up the stairs. The siblings were going to have a face off on the roof.

Vienna watched Tristan from far and caught his hardened eyes staring at her as though reprimanding her about why she hadn't obeyed his instruction. She didn't have time to worry about that. As the door of the elevator closed, she stared at her brother who was leaning to the wall next to the buttons as he was staring at the elevators ceiling.

He looked mad. He looked tense. His eyes held nothing but fury.

Vienna couldn't help mirror his stance as she leaned on the wall on the other side of the elevator as she whispered " Vincenzo... What are you going to do? You have to wait for father. You can't do anything to Viggo..." She then gulped as she saw him glance at her. His tone made her shake to the core. It wasn't accusing but it held a warning and was threatening " Did you know about them Vienna. Tell me the truth."

Vienna felt like she was choking as her brother directed his low tone at her. She shook her head vigorously and whispered " No... I didn't."

He seemed satisfied enough to look away. That made Vienna take a deep breath of relief. When her brother's wrath was directed at anyone it made the choke. It made you forget your name when he looked at you like he was the judge in a court and he was about to sentence you.

The urge to protect her twin was kicking in and it made her more fearless so she tried to reason with him " Vincenzo. You must not do anything. I am not going down there. You leave Viggo alone. Father would deal with this... Not you..."

Vienna trembled as she heard his chilling words while he was staring at the ceiling " You shouldn't have followed me Vienna... I don't want an audience for this... When we reach the top floor, you will go down. I never said father won't deal with this. He will. But Viggo and I need to have a talk."

Vienna protested " I wont leave... You will hurt Viggo..."

Vincenzo looked at Vienna with a hard expression " I am not telling you again. You will go back down. I don't want an audience." He never had his sister as audience when he interrogated anyone. He needed to hear from his brother what was going on. He didn't care if he loved their number one enemy. He actually didn't. He loved his brother no matter what kind of witch he loved... But he didn't want his brother to turn himself into a doormat. Andovinis weren't to be trusted. They were bad news. He didn't want his younger brother to become the object of the game of Angelia's kind. Her kind were not going to last long in his view. The head of Andovinis liked to fly solo. He didn't accept offers of peace. The head of Andovinis thought he knew better and Vincenzo wanted to see his downfall one day. He hated the guts of andivinis for creating so much headache for his father's business. They were always there throwing obstacles forcing his father to have to settle for costly options to go around their restrictions in their territories and beyond that they could reach with their power. How could he possibly bring their demise one day that he wanted with a passion to satisfy himself of his baby brother had fallen for their kind. This was not right. He didn't want to wait for his father. Time was something he didn't like to waste. As time went on the urge to kill Angelia was becoming more intense inside him. He thought the best option was to kill Angelia. If his father wasnt going to do it, then he was going to.

Just then Tristan's voice came into the intercom making Vienna jump. His voice was booming hard " How dare you disable the elevator system? You think you can stop me coming up there... If you hurt Vienna, I will end you..,"

Vincenzo rolled his eyes and murmured to himself as he pressed some buttons turning off the intercom " Look who's talking. The raging bull punished an entire Bicycle team in front of my baby sister and dares gives me ultimatums not to hurt my sister. What kind of double standards do the Irish have?" He then looked at his sister " This is not your fight Vienna. I have to force you to sit out of it."

Just as Vienna was about to protest, Tristan's voice came again " You dare turn off my voice. Vincenzo, I warn you. If you hurt Vienna, you are going to be slaughtered..."

Tristan was furious as he was working on the wires in another elevator. It was faster to fix the elevator system than to run upstairs. He knew he could do it.  As he fixed it, he pressed the button furiously not being able to wait any longer. He was banging his fists against the elevator walls as he was pacing the floor. He was so annoyed at Vienna for defying him. Vincenzo was angry. She shouldn't have followed him up. Why couldn't she trust him when he gave her an instruction. When Vincenzo dealt with his little brother things got violent. The two boys were both alpha males. Even Trent wasn't as savage as Viggo. Vincenzo's little brother was a handful. He answered fire with fire. Tristan didn't want Vienna to witness the two brothers fight in front of her. That could break her heart.

As the elevator doors opened, he ran up the stairs that lead to the door that opened to the rooftop. As he stepped out, he took in the scene that was infront of him. Vienna was standing in front of Viggo shielding him as Viggo was standing in front of Angelia.

Vincenzo was balling his hands into fists as he was shouting "I have to hand it to you. You got me Viggo. I never bellieved it when I saw it on the screen. I thought that was staged... But now I see you are actually with the witch...."

Tristan narrowed his eyes as he walked towards Vincenzo. He took a note of Vienna trembling at his words. Vincenzo didnt deserve a sister like Vienna at all. Didnt he see that he was hurting Vienna so much. Viggo didnt seem phased. He was just staring back silently all his focus on protecting Angelia who was behind him and he made no secret of it as he spoke "Look. Let Angelia leave with Vienna and we can talk..."

Vincenzo roared " Just because you are hiding behind our sister I cant touch you. Dont tempt me to kick your backside in front of her... How dare you suggest that Angelia is even worthy of spending any time with Vienna. Angelia is the enemy. The witch of oz has obviously cast a spell on you. You really think i would let her walk out of here alive?"

Vienna protested "You cant kill her..."

Vincenzo replied "Get out of my way Vienna.."

Tristan ran to Vincenzo and stood in front of him "I warned you Vincenzo. You are hurting Vienna... Who do you think you are talking to? You dont tell her what to do. You will come with me down the stairs and we will go to my father's office where all this dispute will be resolved..."

Vincezno looked at Tristan surprised and outraged. He shook his head "Have you lost you mind? Dont you know me? Hell no. I need to fix this problem in my way..."

Tristan asked "Is that your final answer?"

Vincenzo replied "Yes."

Tristan spoke without his stare leaving Vincenzo's eyes " Vienna, you didnt follow my instructions down there... We will have a talk about this but now I want you to take Angelia down to the safe room where the guards are. I need to have a talk with your brothers. i wont let Viggo get hurt. I promise... Just listen to me this time..."

Vienna tried to argue but Vincezno beat him to it "So what are you now? Viggo's bodyguard? What has this world come to?"

Vienna understood the situation now... Her older brother's protest meant this was not to Vincenzo's favour and Tristan had promised to protect her twin. So she nodded to Angelia "Lets go". She decided to listen to Tristan this time.

Viggo watched Angelia and Vienna leave and walked to stand next to Tristan "Thank you for sending Vienna down Tristan.. i will take thsi from here..."

Vincezno glanced at Tristan "Yes Tristan. Why dont you go now? Viggo and I need to have a chat." More than anything he wanted to kick his brother's backside. He wanted to beat out the love of the witch out of him but of course the raging bull had become Viggo's bodyguard.

Tristan shook his head "Vincenzo. Dont push me... I am patient. I am reasonable. This is as civil as I get with you... I warned you to not hurt your sister, yet you force her to choose. You forced her to stand between you and your brother..."

Vincenzo declared " I didnt force her to come up here. I asked her many times to go back down. She refused. Stop trying to shield her from reality. She needs to see the real world."

Tristan sighed as he looked up to the skies while putting his hand on his hips "Dont make me punch you Vincenzo. You are asking for it..." He then looked at Vincenzo "This is your world. You forced her to stand between you and your brother. I am still trying to process that. I dont want to see that again Vincenzo... Ever... if you force her to choose, I will make your life hell. I have commited to acts that I am not proud of but I have never ever made my sister choose.... You involved her in this mess and when she is involved, I am involved...."

Vincenzo replied "So, you will just stand here and not let me get some words out of my brother... This is about safety of Vienna too. The wich of Oz, could be plotting to hurt Vienna...Have you thought of that..."

Tristan declared "You father will sort this... But ... You can talk to Viggo but on my watch..."

There was no point arguing with Tristan. He had become Viggo's protector for some bizzare reason that he didnt understand. He spoke sarcastically "Fine.. Be his lawyer then." He thenglanced at his brother and without warning grabbed the collar of his shirt and pinned him to a wall "How long have you been loving the witch? Days? Weeks?..."

Viggo's breath hitched in his throat "Years..."

Vincenzo asked "Are you going to marry her or its just a fling?"

Viggo gasped "Fling? Whats that? She is going to be my wife after college..."

That did it. Vincenzo growled " Your wife? Her? Not a chance..." Vincenzo punched Viggo's stomach with his free hand making him groan.

Tristan protested "Thats it..." He then grabbed Vincenzo off Viggo and pushed him away. He warned Viggo who was now narrowing his eyes at his brother "Stay down. Dont hit back. I dont have time for this Viggo... I promised her... Your brother wont stop attacking if you hit back...:"

Vincenzo objected "Protect him.... Why not? I will deal with him tonight... "

Tristan sighed and turned to Vincenzo " You know how I see it Vincenzo... Dont tell me you dont have skeletons in the closet yourself. I bet you do.... You are hiding alot of secrets and everyone knows that... Imagine if one of your secrets came out... Dont you think, you would want to be heard by your father first as the head of your family? You leave the judgement to your father... No one is above the rules of your father... if you deny that your father can deal with this you are denouncing your father as your rightful leader and superior... Either let your father deal with this issue or be a man, look into your father's eyes and tell him you have no faith in his judgment and justice. I must say even your father's enemies and familes who are not allies of Rosarios trust your father's judgment. They protest against it but they respect it. So think about reprecussions of beating up your father's son for a crime that may not even be seen as a crime by your father. Times are changing.... The last time I checked kissing is not a crime... Your uncle Antonio was caught with an Andovini and he was punished for some time but that was along time ago... Dont be so old fashioned... Some people say you are like your grandfather... I dont blame them... He was extreme with family members too. He was a monster or so they say...."

Vincenzo growled "Dont insult my grandfather ... I warn you..."

Tristan couldnt undertsand the meaning behind his words. He had never met his grandfather. Why was he so protective and defensive...

Vincenzo then walked away as he shook his head " You have a lucky escape Viggo. Thank your bodyguard for now.. Lets see what father has planned for you... I hope father orders the witch's execution. I would volunteer to burn her at stake... But of course if there is someone else I want to watch burn more than Angelia, its Juliano... He dug his own grave... What do you say Tristan? Should we teach him not to mess with Rosarios tonight?"
