Mirabella

Ezeikel carried me to a room quietly.. I wonder why he is so off with me.. My other brothers are so nice to me but he is not rude but not warm to me either.. He basically avoided me when we were in the other house.. I stared at him as he walked.. His jaw clenching every now and then.. He kicked open a door and entered before harshly putting me on the bed..

My chest stinged from pain and I hissed.. He frowned looking at me..

"Can you not be this dramatic? “

He said and I stared at him a bit taken aback..

" What...? "

He raised a brow at me and crossed his arms over his chest..

"This.. all this drama.. Listen! You can fool others by acting all victim you want but that'll not effect me at all! "

He spoke harshly and I couldn't get why he was being like this.. What drama he's talking about?

"I really don't get what you're talking about? "

He scoffed at me..

"You don't? Then let me elaborate! "

He took a step closer..

"All the acts you've been pulling.. You think I didn't heard how you reacted when you first met dad and Xander? And when Antonio hugged you? Whom are you pulling this bull shits with huh?! And these injuries, don't be this pathetic to pull an act being poor ok? "

He sneered and looked away from me..

"Mom left you with everything so that poor card won't work.. Also why the fuck did you get out of the room when Xander warned you to not?! Huh?! "

He raised his voice and I flinched.. What door?

"You got out and got yourself in trouble that made dad shout at Vincent and Antonio! Why my brothers will hear from dad because of you?! "

He yelled and his eyes red with anger.. I'm still clueless of what he was talking about.. Xander said that I fell asleep while playing some game with them.. I only remember to wake up on dad in pain..

"What are you talking about? What room? "

He looked at me in disbelief and threw his hands in the air..

"Ma'am? Would you like an Oscar for the act? You know what? You may look like dad but your so much like mom.. She acted so naive but ran away like a coward leaving her kids and now you!! "

I frowned.. It was ok till it was me but I'll never tolerate something about mom..

"I know what mom did was wrong but that doesn't give you the right to talk anything to my mother! "

His nose flared in anger and I saw his fist clenching..

"Your mother? Of course your mother.. Spending 10 years with her was fun right? At least you got 4 more years than me with her.. So of course she is only your mother! Gobbling all her attention alone where there were 5 of us longing for her! "

I saw a hint of pain in his eyes but it was replaced with rage.. I get that he is mad for what mom did but does that justifies the anger he was putting on me? As if I got my father and brother from 17 years!

"I can say the same that you gobbled all my fathers and brothers love while I longed for a father for 17 years! Was the 17 years fun to you?! "

I yelled back.. You throat closing up as my emotions building up.. Tears formed making his image blurry to me..

"Nonsense!! You had a father!! “

" He was never a father!! “

I shouted back and he fell quite.. He looked at me with unknown expression and I sniffed and wiped my tears that fell..

"I get that you resent me.. Now get out please! I don't want to face you! "

I said and he scoffed getting back at his cocky self..

"It's my room.. You get out if you don't want to face me.. "

I frowned..

"Then why did you bring me here huh? "

I sneered..

"As if there is any room for you here.. You never existed for us to keep an extra room.. This house is only for family.. "

Ouch.. That hurt! He clearly proved me that I'm not the family.. At least he doesn't think of me as a family..

"What's going on here? "

I heard a sharp femine voice and looked at the door to see Grandma standing and glaring at Ezaikel.. He immediately softened up..

"Um.. Grandma.. "

"Shut it! Get out and move to another room.. My Mirabella will stay in this room if she wants to until we make her room. Out. Now. "

Her voice sounded different from before .. More strict and controlled, not like how sweetly she greeted me earlier.. Ezaikel nodded and got out.. Grandma closed the door and smiled at me before coming to bed to sit with me..

"Nipotina.. Don't mind his words okay? We only got to know about you today and I already told to prepare your room.. You're out family and this is your home too.. "

She caressed my head so lovingly that I remembered mom when she used to comfort me.. It's a kids worst nightmare when you grow up with an absent father.. People talk nonsense and peers bully you.. I used to come home crying and mom would comfort me always.. She was the best mom..

"Come on.. Lay down and I'll lull you to sleep.. You need rest to get fit again and I want to do so many activities with you.. "

She clapped excitedly and I smiled before lying down..

"Oh you'll be so pampered my Elina and Vanessa.. "

I looked at her confused..

"Who are they? "

She smiled at me cheekily..

"You aunt's.. My second oldest son Matteo's wife is Elina and youngest son Ace's wife is Vanessa.. "

"Do I have cousins? "

I asked being curious.. I want to know about my extended family that I never knew of..

"Well.. Matteo have 6 sons and Ace have 7 sons.. "

I chocked on my saliva and grandma chuckled..

"What's with this many sons? What were they thinking? They want to make a football team? "

She chuckled and shook her head..

"Elina only got pregnant 3times..At first a son and then twins and then Triplets.. Vanessa got pregnant twice.. Triplet and quadruplet.. "

I gasped and my mouth hung open.. Thats too much!

"So I have 13 cousins?! "

She nodded...

"And what about mom's family? "

Her face soured a bit but she forced a smile..

"You have grandpa there and two uncles and few cousins.. We don't have much connection with them so I'm not sure.. Enough of the talk.. Go to sleep.. "

She dismissed the topic and I can feel the beef between these two families.. I didn't argued and just closed my eyes knowing that I'll not fell asleep.. I wish dad would cuddle though.. I fell asleep on him so fast..

Ezaikel

I kicked the wall before going to Vincent's room.. I don't know what got into me that made me lash out on her.. It's not like I resent her for what mom did but when I thought that someone came to harm her..I never felt this rage in me to kill those fuckers..Maybe it's the blood that ran in our bodies..But when I heard that she couldn't be found.. And when I saw how she had blood on her and when she was sobbing while holding on dad, I swear to feel my heart being ripped off my chest..

I felt horrible for not protecting her.. I felt failure.. Why would she even come out when we told her to not? I felt angry that she put her life on risk! And everything mixed, I just lashed out..

The door opened and Vincent entered.. He paused and stared at me..

"Why the fuck are you in my room? "

"Maybe tell you sister to get out of my room and I'll go to mine? "

I snapped at him and her crossed his hands..

"Ezaikel? She is your sister too.. And you know that she doesn't have a room yet.. She'll stay with any of us and if you really have a problem with her staying in your room, why the fuck you put her in your room? You could have get her in my room or anyone's room.. Even grandpa wouldn't be upset if you put her in their room.. "

I opened my mouth to say something but closed it.. Of course it was me to take her there on the first place.. Vincent signed and placed his hand on my shoulder..

"Ezaikel? If you're being like this to her because of mom then please don't.. We went through the same shit and I'm mad at mom too but hey.. Mira didn't even knew us.. "

His words stung as they were true..

"You don't even know what happened when you were not there.. It's so fucked up! "
