"Say one more shit about my mother and I swear I'll kill you. You don't know anything about her so just shut the fuck up, she was everything for me...my only support

Where were you when she struggled for me?. Where were you when she would go days without eating just to make sure I had my fill?. You were not there so you have no right to judge her. I don't give a flying fuck if you don't like her but don't talk about her that way. She was more than you could ever be

You don't want me here I get that but do you really think I want to stay with some strangers just because they say they're family?!. Family is more than just blood!" I yelled at him, throwing another punch his way before someone pulled me back

"Bambina...please don't cry, we're sorry. I don't know about him but I'm sorry for my rude behavior I-I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought it would be best to just stay away from you but fuck that, you're my baby sister and I love you" Xander rushed out as he held me wiping my tears.

It was only then I realized that I was crying. The pain just kicked in, my only support was taken away from me. I'll never see her again and here a stupid bastard was speaking ill of her. If I had my way I would kill him

Another pair of arms wrapped around us and I turned quickly to see Antonio. I don't like hugs but this was comforting

"He's right bambina...we all incredibly missed you. Don't take what he said to heart. You are family and nothing can ever change that" Antonio said

"Why are you being nice. When I cussed at you on the phone and yelled at you?" I asked and he let out a small laugh. Honestly what amuses them in my suffering?

"It's okay...I get it. Great first impression" he said with a smirk

"Sorry" I mumbled under my breath

"It's okay I wasn't mad at all" he assured and I asked the question that was in my mind for a while now

"Why did mom take me away?. Don't you dare lie to me, I'll know. I hate it and if I find out I won't forgive you" I warned and he sighed

"Fine go take a shower and we can talk. Leo, take her to her room. We decorated it today hope you like it" he said and kissed my head in affection and I cringed. This is all too new to me

"Come on bambina" Leo said and led me through the halls

"The rooms are arranged according to our ages. So it means yours is the last one...there" He said and pointed to the last door that had a golden name plate and we went in

"Holy fuck!" I exclaimed. It was as big as my old house and might I add beautiful



"You don't like it?. If you don't we can always change it" Leonardo said hurriedly

"It's amazing thank you" I said with a far off look

"I'm really sorry you missed all this while you were growing up but now...it's here and it's all yours. We would give you anything, it's your call" he said with a smile and I nodded

"Thanks" I said

"It's fine go take a shower and when it's time for dinner one of us will come get you" he said and pointed to the bathroom before leaving

I walked into the bathroom and gasped lightly. It was an amazing bathroom. It was so big, I feel like I can fall asleep here. I slowly stripped myself infront of the mirror and faced my reality



The ugly me with scars...knief wounds, cigarettes burns. I really am broken huh. Luckily for me Luke never hurt me in places that were obvious. He only hurt me in places that were well hidden

I can't let them know about this. What if they send me away because of my ugly self. What if they decide they don't want me anymore. I got in the shower and turned it on, making me hiss in pain as the burning hot water came in contact with my open wounds

I ignored the pain and quickly took a shower, I wrapped a big fluffy towel around my body and walked into the walk in closet. My God it's so beautiful, it all felt too good to be true



I scanned through my worn out duffle bag and found an outfit to put on.



I walked around trying to find my way there and realized that I was just walking in circles. The house had too many identical doors how the hell am I suppose to know which one's for what?

I got tired quickly so I just decided to sit on the floor till one of them finds me. I closed my eyes while humming a melody when I heard someone shriek in fright and some laughter's. I opened my eyes to see my brothers infront of me

"What are you doing on the floor bambina?" Alessandro asked me while chuckling as he help me up

"It's a big house I couldn't find my way" I said defending myself

"Aww bambina you're so cute" Xavier cooed and pinched my cheeks, hard might I add

"Right?!" Emilio said with a grin and a look that said 'told you so'

"I'm not cute" I growled at them as I narrowed my eyes at all of them

"Growl all you want bambina. It doesn't change the fact that you're a cute little girl" Domenico said and I huffed in annoyance making my lips pucker in a small pout.

"Alright leave the girl alone. Come on bambina let's go" Antonio, my savior came to my rescue and they finally took me to the dining room



We sat down and the maids immediately served dinner. I mumbled a small thank you and started eating, fighting back a moan. I've never tasted anything like this. It was so good that I ended up stuffing my face

I felt gazes on me and I looked up to see all of them, except Stephano who isn't here for some reason, staring at me. Honestly can't I even eat in peace here!

"You know it's rude to stare right?" I said already fed up with their stares

"You do know the food isn't running away right. Slow down" Matteo said, poking my full cheeks making me glare at him

"You look like an angry chipmunk. Very cute" he cooed at me and I gave him the 'are you fuckin serious' look

"Leave her alone Matteo. Ignore him bambina" Leonardo said and smacked Matteo lightly on the head

"Oh that's easy" I said and they laughed as Matteo glared at me

"Aww...you look like an angry chipmunk, very cute" I imitated him and pinched his cheeks and everyone laughed, including him

We finished eating and they led me to the living room and we all sat down

"Get Stephano" Antonio said to Matteo who immediately left

"Bambina this may be overwhelming and I get that but you have to try to understand" he said and I nodded.

Not long after Matteo came back with Stephano who stared at me with an emotion I didn't understand. It was a mixture of pain, anger, happiness and guilt?. Not my business anyway
