I spent 10 minutes swimming and the rest 50 minutes drooling over sexy boys surfing or playing volleyball.

After an hour, I skipped my way towards Paulo and Giovanni, was residing on my beach towel.

"Shall we go back?" Paulo asked. I frowned not wanting to go away from the hot Cheetos playing.

"It's been an hour now. Your brothers must be worried about you." Giovanni tried to reason.

"Okay." I slid sarong over my beachwear and grabbed the towel and other necessities. There weren't that boys though.

After 15 minutes of walk, we came in front of the resort in which we were staying. It was made up of wood and glass windows giving away the view of the beautiful beach.

We sauntered inside and were met with extremely enraging Valentino brothers.

Uh oh.

"What happened? Why are you guys raging like angry bulls!?"

They turned their head towards me so fast that I almost got whiplash.

"Where were you?" Marco asked with so much anger that I flinched. So unlike me.

"At the b-" Antonio cut me off. "And what the fuck are you wearing?"

"Be-" I was interrupted by Alessandro this time. "What the fuck you were doing outside?"

I'm so done with them interrupting me. "I was-"

"Are you okay?" Matteo asked me worriedly, his eyes bloodshot as if was crying.

"Ye-"

I could feel my temper rising with every interruption. "You were alone out there?" Rocco asked, furiously.

That was new now. Rocco and angry?

"Roc-"

"Why did you went out in the first place? Are you seriously stupid?" Alex asked, angrily.

"Shut the fuck up!" I shouted so loudly that I could hear the birds fleeing away.

"Stop cursing. And all of you, control your anger. I don't want you to yell at her."

"Thank you, Leo." I send him a grateful smile.

"Sit down, Mia Cara."

"I'll change first." I pointed towards my clothes. After getting a nod from Leo I walked inside my room and threw a pair of pajama shorts and a hoodie.

Did I mention it's almost the end of October? And we went to the beach for a vacation?

I walked back inside the living room to see everyone with a clenched jaw which tightened further after my arrival.

I sat down on the couch, besides Leo. So far the safest option.

"Why did you leave?" Antonio asked, still very much furious.

"Because I had nothing to do. And you don't play on Xbox if you are on vacation." Giving stink eyes to the rest of my brothers, excluding Antonio and Leo.

"You don't go outside alone if you have nothing to do, stupid." Marco retorted.

Everyone was replying angrily, their tones were venomous and bitter.

"I wasn't alone, for your kind of information. And I've already told you guys before that these indoor games don't entertain me." My tone was getting slightly higher. I could feel it. And if this doesn't stop any soon, one of us is going get hurt badly.

"Whom were you with? Those unknown people?" Alessandro sends a stink eye to me.

"I was with two of your guards. Paulo and Giovanni." I could feel my eyes getting moist which happens when someone yells at me or speak to me angrily.

"You didn't take any of your brothers with you, Allegra. You did not even inform them." Leo said sternly.

My eyes watered slightly but refused to break down. "I did tell them that I'm going outside but none of them paid attention to anything besides that stupid game. If you bring someone for vacation let them enjoy it." I spoke with so much bitterness in my voice that I'm afraid that maybe I've hurt them with my words.

Just as a lone tear slipped from my eye, I walked away from the scene and into my room.

Locking the door I kicked my picnic bag and threw one of the perfume bottles on the wall, shattering it into pieces.

"What do they think I am? A puppet?"

Stupid, stupid brothers!

Reaching the bed, I dumped my body on the mattress and threw covers over my body lazily.

I was half asleep when a knock was heard. "Allegra?"

A very soft voice of Matteo could be heard. Instead of replying, I plopped one of the pillows over my face.

"Allegra, we are sorry!-" Many other things could be heard but my brain refuse to register it.

I woke up in the evening. The sun was setting, a very soft pink color adorning in the sky.

I walked inside the washroom and did my business. My stomach was groaning. It was expected. I haven't eaten since breakfast, and have skipped lunch.

Grreeaaatt.

After combing my hair with my fingers making a mental note to take a bath before sleeping. I opened the locked door of my room and sauntered outside and into the kitchen. Ignoring, the presence of Marco and Rocco who were sitting on the island stools, and Antonio, who was cutting an onion.

Opening the refrigerator, I was greeted with nothing. My temper was flaring up to the point that my head started to pain.

Slamming the door of the refrigerator, I turned around. "Is there nothing to eat?" My voice was extremely rough and loud.

Antonio turned towards me. "We are making dinner."

"Then eat it by yourself!" My eyes were narrowed, on their own, with a scowl plastered on my face.

Stomping out of the kitchen, I bumped into Alessandro. "Watch where you are going!"

I turned around and pushed him roughly. "Watch where you are standing!" Their eyes were wide as saucers.

I skimmed my hand through my hair and slammed my bedroom door shut, creating a loud noise.

They knew that I've not eaten anything since morning, yet the dinner was not ready, and there wasn't any leftover either from lunch.

I just want to destroy this stupid room. Entering the bathroom, I decided to take a shower.

I picked out my fresh clothes from the bag and went inside the bathroom.

Getting out of my clothes, I stepped In-front of the shower. Letting the water soak my body for a good minute.

After shampooing and conditioning my hair, I let the water, fall upon me.

Closing my eyes, I feel my stomach churning in hunger.

Turning off the faucet, I change into fresh clothes and got out of the bathroom.

Laying down on my bed my thoughts went to that room.

What exactly happened there? More importantly, what is it in that cupboard?

That reminds me of those keys. I searched for my shorts in which I've kept those keys.

Once I found them, I dug my hand inside its pocket. Letting out a sigh, I examine it.

Something is fishy about this key. Instead of a circle, it carries a square hole, and a rectangle is; dug on it.

Pressing on that rectangle, I inserted my nails at its corner.

Something is inside this rectangle. It was hard for me to open it, as my nails weren't that pointy or long.

I inserted my nail filer's pointy side at the corners, and the lid of the rectangle fell out.

The thing inside it amazed me.
