We were sitting in the living room when Daniel cleared his throat which brought our attention to him. "Umm, I have a question." He said looking at Dante who nodded his head silently telling him to continue. "Isn't your last name Torelli?" He asked making Dante clench his fist at the side.

Taking a deep breath Dante looked at me then at Marino who was rubbing a hand over his face "I think we need to talk." He said looking at Daniel. "Okay. What's up?" Daniel said propping his elbows on his knees.

"Before I start I want to say. Listen to me till the end. Okay?" Dante said making Daniel's frown deepened but he nodded nonetheless. "You are kind of scaring me." He chuckled nervously.

"Yeah, well...okay, so remember when we met in Venice and we.." Dante showed to himself and Marino "..introduced ourselves as Matteo and Angelo. Well, that was a lie." Dante said causing Daniel to stand up from his seat.

"What?" He looked at guys with confusion and anger "What the hell are you talking about? You lied?" He asked but Dante was quick to shake his head along with Marino.

"It wasn't everything a lie. Just sit down and let us talk." Marino said calmly making Daniel obey. Sitting down Daniel turned his head back to Dante "Speak." That was all he said.

Dante looked at me and Moreno than at Antea's brother "Our family was in some kind of problems because of which we needed to change our names." A lie smoothly fell from his lips "And you met as at that time. Later when we got back to our real names we... I don't know.. it simply.. we didn't want to put you into the danger."

"So what're your real names?" "Well, I'm not Matteo Torelli but Dante Del Re." Dante said making Daniel nod.

"And I'm not Angelo Zotti but Marino Rocca. " Marino explained.

"Okay. And you guys, you have anything?" Daniel said looking at me and Moreno but we only shook our heads.

"No, we are good." Moreno said with an amused look playing on his face.

"Is your names the only thing that you lied about?" Daniel asked after a short silence. Dante looked at him and he was about to answer that but Marino beat him in that.

"Kind of." He said making Daniel look at him in confusion and annoyance. "Kind of?"

"Yeah. Well, we lied to you about our life.." Marino started but Dante cut him. "Don't. "

"What don't? Look don't get me wrong but you have ten seconds to tell me what is happening or so help me God I will do something I'm gonna regret. " Daniel said making me smirk. He's a tough guy. I like him.

"I trust him." Marino said looking at Dante who nodded back. "Me too. But I don't want him in this mess, you know what happened with.." Dante trailed of but Marino caught on to what he was on about.

"I know. But that won't happen ever again. " Marino said turning back to Daniel.

"Do you trust me?" He asked him making his eyes widened a bit. "I don't know anymore." Daniel said truthfully.

"And I don't blame you. But listen to us before you chose your next move. Okay? Okay. " taking a deep breath he started "Our family is in let's say family business. And business itself is connected with the crime." he said making Daniel shift in his seat a bit. "We aren't bad guys. Well not unless you are going after us or our family. "

"Like mafia shit? Or?" Daniel sad making Marino nod. "Yeah, like a mafia. Dante's father is a boss of business while Xavier is next in line." He confirmed Daniel's thoughts which made him run a hand over his face.

"Is that it?" He asked but guys averted their eyes to the floor. "Not? Really?" He sighed heavily while letting his head fall back.

"Well, actually it is. From our side. That's everything we lied about that you didn't know of." Dante said on which Daniel raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner "It's about Antea. " Dante added making Daniel's whole demeanor change.

"What about her?" He bit out "Please tell me that you don't have anything with her accident." He hissed with anger evident in his voice.

"No, no. That. We don't have anything with it." Dante quickly sad making Daniel sigh in relief.

"Than what?" He asked making me this time to shift a little in my seat.

"Well," I started making Daniel's eyes snap at me and widened slightly "for starters she was working for me as Emiliano's nanny." I said making his jaw drop.

"No, now you are lying. She would tell me, she would never lie to me like that." He said making Dante look at him solemnly.

"He's speaking the truth. And before you go blame her for lying to all of us. I just want to say that it's your, no actually it's our fault. Well more two of your fault. You remember what you told her when she was leaving?" Marino asked making Daniel title his head in confusion.

"About what exactly?" "About the job. You said that she should return home if she didn't get a job. She called us that night telling us that they give her job to someone else, didn't she?" Marino asked making Daniel nodded "And what did you two did? You told her to come back."

"The same day I bumped into her at coffeeshop after her interview. I didn't know her, I didn't know that she knows these two idiots." I said pointing to Dante and Marino making them roll their eyes at me.

"Anyhow we got into a conversation and she said that she likes the city but that she will probably go home because she didn't get a job. At the time my son, Emiliano was only two months old. So after quick-thinking, I propose to her the idea of working for me as a babysitter. I give her time till the next day to think about it and then to call me and tell me what she decided."

"The same days she told us that she met a woman with kids who give her a job as a nanny." Daniel muttered under his breath but we all heard him in the silence that fell over us.

"Yeah, she told us that she is working for a single mother, not a father because she thought that you two would tell her to quit it. And come back home." Marino said making Dante nod.

"Did you know that she was working for your brother?" Daniel asked Dante who shook his head.

"No, I didn't. I found out after a couple of months when I came to New York to visit him." Dante said, "That's when we met and she learned that Matteo and Angelo weren't our real names." He added which caused Daniel to look at him dumbfounded.

"She knew about your names?" He asked "Si and about my line of work." I said which only caused him to get angrier.

"So she knew all this but no one had the guts to tell me?" He asked as he stood up and started pacing the living room.

"You need to realize that we didn't want to tell you because of your safety." Dante said loudly as he stood up to pacing also.

"What about her safety." Daniel roared as he turned towards Dante looking at him in rage.

"Xavier took care of that." Dante answer then turned to me muttering under his breath "More than enough." He probably thought that I won't hear that but I heard him. Loud and clear.



Daniel's head turned in my direction and he lifted his eyebrow asking me mutely to explain.

With a deep breath, I locked my eyes with him "We got together." That was all I said making his nostrils flare.

"You what?" He asked lowly and took a step towards me, but Dante was quick to step between us and stop him.

"We were together." I said as I also stood up "We were together for quite some time but then something things happened and she kind of.. close herself from others and me.-" I got cut off by Daniel.

"What happened? If you did something to my sister.." he trailed but I got the message.

'I did. I hurt her the worst way possible.' I wanted to say but before I could open my mouth Moreno jumped in. "She lost her baby." He said causing silence to fall over all of us.

Daniel looked at me than at Moreno "What are you talking about? She is pregnant." He said with confusion and aggravation.

"We lost a baby, before this one. And she took that hard." I said as I sat back down rubbing a hand over my face.

"She lost a baby?" He asked under his breath as he sat down also, taking deep breaths he blinked a couple of times. His arms shook and his legs were bouncing just like Antea's when she's anxious "How?"

"Miscarriage." Moreno answered again instead of me. To be honest I would like to tell him the truth and let him kill me for what I did.

"Oh, God." Daniel sighed popping elbows on his knees and holding his head in his hands "What happened after she had...miscarriage?" He asked bitterly.

"A month after the miscarriage she.." I stopped myself taking a deep breath. I didn't want to replay those memories ever again. "..she tried to kill herself. " I finished making him take a harsh breath.

"I was behind her and she didn't see me so I took a gun from her, which caused her shooting ceiling. " Marino said while going to Daniel and patting his shoulder. "I know that all this is a lot for you but give it some time." He added sitting opposite him.

"We took her to hospital after that incident because she fainted. Their doctor said that the reason for her fainting was because she was weak. During the whole month since.. miscarriage she didn't eat properly, sleep properly, she was like.. she wasn't herself. She was three days in the hospital and then one day I needed to come back home because Emiliano wouldn't calm his crying fit. I left her alone for only twenty minutes till Dante came to be with her because we didn't want to leave her alone."

"But when I came she wasn't there. That was almost four months ago." Dante continued "We searched everywhere, but couldn't find her. We thought that she was kidnapped again but that-"

"Woah, Woah, wait the fuck up. Kidnapped? Again?" Daniel asked looking at Dante.

"Yeah. She was kidnapped last year along with Emiliano."

"Great. Just great. She went through so much but no one of you fuckers didn't think that I deserved to know." Daniel said clapping his hands mockingly.

"We wanted to get you here after she had a miscarriage but we didn't want to put you in danger-" Dante started but Daniel cut him off.

"She is my sister. I don't give a fuck about myself as long as she is safe." He said

"Maybe you don't care about yourself but Antea does. And I know that she would have our heads if something happened to you because of us." Marino said making all of us stop arguing.

After Daniel calmed himself slightly he looked at me "So you are the father of the baby she is currently carrying?" He asked lifting an eyebrow.
