𝓐𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂'𝓼 𝓹𝓸𝓿

I woke up about half an hour ago. I've been staring at the wall since, thinking about random stuff.

I kinda hate this family. They're all so controlling. If my father was the leader of a country I would understand, but it's only an 'organization' that I don't know a thing about. Great.

Maybe I should google them? I know I would know if my father's company or whatever that is was famous. I didn't live under a rock. But I don't know much about Italian companies besides like, Gucci.

I take out my computer, gift from Cora, and type Desantos on Google.

SEARCH: "Desantos" 4827961 results in 0,006 seconds.

4 827 961 results? Damn, I guess he's kinda famous after all.

I click the first link. It was an article from about six months ago.

DESANTOS INC. INVOLVED IN SHADY BUSINESS?

So they do have a company after all. Interesting. The title seemed very promising. What shady business? I got chillsssss! Ooooohh!! Seriously, it's like in a investigation book. I'm the detective by the way. Duh!

Concentration Avery! You need to see what kind of proof they might have. And I'm going crazy. Talking third person is never a good sign.

Desantos inc, billion dollars company known world wide.

So I DID live in the bottom of Coraline's well. Yikes.

Recently, a few people, allegedly eye-witnesses of the Desantos family's acts. Many claim that the company is affiliated with drugs, money laundering and dangerous weapons like guns, bombs, etc...

Yeah. I guess I won the family lottery. Drugs, money laundering AND weapons?! I HIT THE JACKPOT!

Even with the witnesses, there's absolutely no evidence confirming the accusations.

Are the Desantos innocent or simply good at getting rid of any evidence of their dirty side jobs?

Well, that was nice. Lifted up my mood real quick. I'm stuck in a castle with a bunch of possible shady psychopaths.

I exit the website and click on the second link. What the hell?!

THE DESANTOS BROTHERS: MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELORS OF THE CENTURY

It was a fan page. About my brothers. There was a bunch of weird crazy obsessed stuff like;

QUIZ: WHO IS YOUR SOULMATE? ELIJAH, STEPHAN OR LEONARDO?

VOTE DOWM BELOW TO SHOW WHO'S YOUR FAV BROTHER!

QUIZ: YOUR PERFECT WEDDING WILL TELL YOU WHICH DESANTOS BROTHER YOU'RE GOING TO MARRY

Creepy as hell. Girls were really out there fangirling over them? Why? They're really annoying. Who would want to be with them. I would personally want to marry them to my fists. Would be a good match.

I decide to close my computer. Enough for one day. I won't google my brothers ever again.

I decide to get up and get dressed. I want to go out today. Yesterday I was confined in the house. After the fight from the day before it's kinda understandable?

I know Cora will let me out. She didn't spend much time with me yesterday because she was afraid she would succumb to my 'charms and puppy eyes'. She has no chances today.



Her outfit ↑

Not bad. Not bad at all. I look good. I get out of the room. By myself. Crazy, right? They didn't lock my door!! They're slightly less kidnapperish now.

I turn the corners, that look more and more similar every day. Soon, I'll be able to go everywhere WITHOUT getting lost. Mouhahahah! Yeah, don't know why I did an evil laugh either. Guess I wanted to.

Dining room. The evil brothers are here. Yeah! Please note the sarcasm in this exclamation.

They look up at me when I enter and they all choke. Yikes. Cece is such a good cook! Maybe it's a bad batch?

"What the hell are you wearing?!" Stephan yelled.

Ohhh! THAT'S what made them choke. Well... they can continue to choke because I'm a bad bitch that expresses herself in her clothes.

"You must wear leggings underneath that skirt. And a vest on that tiny top" Leonardo added

"Go change!" Elijah yelled.

Fucking idiots.

"No"

"No?!" They all repeated in unison.

"No" I fake smiled at them. Jerks.

"Cora! We have an emergency!" Leonardo yelled.

I heard footsteps approaching. They don't know that they just put the ace in my deck. Girl power is stronger than anything.

"What do you guys want from me? I'm getting a manicure!" Cora asked while showing her half-done hands.

"Look at Avery" Stephan asked her.

She turned to me and gawked.

"AVERY!" She yelled. The guys were full on smirking. "You're so beautiful!" Game over boys. "That outfit is totally A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!"

My turn to smirk.

"Thank you Auntie! It's really pretty" I quickly thanked her "Hum... I was wondering, would it be possible for me to go out today?" I asked her while flashing my pearly whites.

"Hum... like hell you are!" Elijah yelled

"Wanna go shopping, Av? We missed sixteen years of shopping after all" She asked me.

"Absolutely-"

"-Not" All three of my brothers cut me.

I look at them, not saying anything. They glare back and we have a stare down contest thingy. I think.

"I'll just finish my mani and we'll be on our way!" Cora said while going out of the room.

"You're not going" Leonardo told me

"I sure as hell am!"

"No you're not. Not in this outfit" Stefan replied.

Evil plan? Activated.

"Ok... whatever!" I sass them while rolling my eyes.

I walk back to my room. Even more 'revealing' outfit here I come.



The outfit ♡ ↑

Perfect. I just got to make it out of here. I look both ways before going out of my bedroom. Not snitches around.

I quickly make my way near the front door where I see the boys waiting. Shit.

Ding! Idea. Yeah I know the soundtrack was a bit weird but imagine a light bulb like in the cartoons.

"Guys can you come and help me? I can't find a decent hoodie!" I yell at them from upstairs and quickly hide in a random guest room. I hear their hurried footsteps going in the direction of my bedroom. I quickly exit the guest room and sneak down stairs where Cora is patiently waiting.

"Hurry Cora! They'll realize I'm not in my room in a few seconds!" I hurriedly tell her.

"Let's go!" She reply while running to her car that was already ready for our escape.

I could hear indistinct yelling from inside the mansion but I would bet anything that I know exactly what it is.

"Shit! The accelerator! Quick!" I yell at her.

She doesn't question and we're successfully escaping.

"Auntie, look at THAT! That top would fit you perfectly. Go try it on please!"

We were shopping at the mall. Not the nearest or biggest around the house. We're not dumb.

It's about an hour and a half away. It's not a small mall but you wouldn't say it's extremely big either. I'd say a little above average? Anyway, we were mostly window shopping and I just saw a top that would fit Cora perfectly. She doesn't take a lot of convincing before trying it on.

"I DO love this top! You have a really good eye Avery." She thanked me while looking at herself in the changing room's mirror.

"You should totally buy it. No questions asked. Do it" I urged her "When you find a top that fit perfectly like this one, you shouldn't part with it"

"You're absolutely right. I'm going to buy this top. Right here, right now" Cora agreed. "I'm going to pay. Wait here"

"No prob, cap'tain!" I saluted.

I sat in one of those big chairs in the waiting area and closed my eyes for a second.

"Avery?" I heard someone ask.

I open one eye to see who it is. It might not even be me they're talking to. Unlikely, but possible. It was actually Audenzia that was standing in front of me.

"Zia! How are you?" I hugged her

"I'm good. What are you doing here? It's kind of an old lady's type of store"

"I'm shopping with my aunt and I saw a really cool top for her. She's paying right now" I explained "Why are YOU here?" I asked her.

"I asked my mom for some special shoes, so we came to this mall because they sell them. She saw her favourite clothing shop and dragged me with her" She chuckled

"My mom shops at the same stores as me. Even if it's totally too young for her" I laugh.

"She really seems like a cool mom" She told me.

"She is"

"Ok Avery I'm ba- Who is your friend?" Cora asked me.

"Aunt Cora, that's my friend Audenzia. Angelo's sister" I presented.

"Nice to meet you. Angelo's sister was it? Did he ever talk about my niece?" She asked her bluntly.

"He actually does. Very often" Zia rolled her eyes. "I mean, I love you Avery but it's annoying to hear about you all the damn time"

"I think they would make a very cute couple" Cora squealed.

"Right?" Zia agreed. "But my stupid brother doesn't want to ask her out. He's too much of a pussy"

"But we only met a few days ag-" I tried starting.

"Hello everyone!" I was cut by Zia and Angelo's mother. "Avery, nice to see you again"

"Likewise" I smiled at her.

"Should we continue this conversation at the food court?" Zia asked

"Yes!"

"I'm for that." Cora agreed

"Let's do this!" Ms. Barsotti added

We all headed to the food court, food in mind.
