MILO "He's not picking" I told them. Damien sighs worriedly, walking back and forth. I know he left the school because of a more insecure reason. Lorenzo has always seen himself as a lonely person that no one cares about because his parents practically abandoned him since he was ten. Things were difficult for him. But what he doesn't understand is that everyone has their own difficulties.My mom died when I was eleven years old and my Dad treats me like shit. He doesn't have siblings.....or maybe he does but haven't seen them before. His parents are really fucking assholes. Bianca and the rest walk up to my car in worry. "Where is Lorenzo?" Bianca asked, but my eyes was on Sofia whose eyes were sore and red. "What happened?" I asked calmly. Don't tell me he was aggressively driving while he's angry. "Long story short....." Lora started. Damien and Felix steps closer. "He kissed Sofia and she.....slapped him" Lora said. My eyes widened. "But she didn't know that it was him, she th
LORENZO Dad walks up to me slowly. He looks at Sofia who was feeling intimidated already. I pulled her by her wrist to sit on my bed. He smiled at her. "Are you his girlfriend that I've been hearing about? Sofia?" He asked. Okay, how the fuck does he know her name. He stood right in front of her. "Can I have a moment with my son, please?" He asked. She nods her head and stood up. She walks out of the room and closed the door behind her. I looked at my father. "Why are you here?" I asked. He sigh and sat next to me. "I heard what happened to you, so I rushed over.....it's been ten years now -" I cut him off. "Ten years of what? Abandoning me? Giving me money and making me think I'm living a good life?" I asked. He sighs. "You just keep on sighing like it's not your fault!" I said. He tried to hold my hand but failed, I pulled away. "I have my reasons and my reasons are to protect you, son, I swear" he replied. Is he seriously saying this right now. I scoffed. "Look at me, do I lo
MILO "So, what happened between you and your dad?" I asked. He looks straight to the window. He looks like he had discovered a timing bomb. "Dude, you okay?" I asked. "It was all a set up" he spilled. I furrow my brows at the dude. Is he talking about the accident? " The truck accident was all a set up. My Dad and Mom are in danger" he explains. "What do you mean by that?" I asked. I'm so confused right now, but I'm trying my best as a friend to kinda understand what he's talking about right this Instant. "My dad came over yesterday, he explained everything. He said if he doesn't go back to Italy, they will kill me. I don't know who are the they he's talking about" he sigh. "He was given a time he'd come and leave. Dude, my Dad didn't abandoned me, he was only trapped." He smiles out if relief. "What about your mother?" I asked him. He just keeps talking about his Dad, didn't even mention his mother. His face falls immediately. "My Dad said I should forget about my mother" he s
LAYLA Honestly, I don't really know what's wrong with Damien sometimes. He acts really flirty and intimate. But he can never know the reason I'm here. I need to get the money that my mafia Dad wanted me to get from his father safe. My Dad and his Dad are like best of friends. But his dad owes my Dad money after their partnership investment. I don't really know why he's still holding on to it. But the fact that his son is a womanizer even makes things worst. I wanted the elder one, not the baby one. As a chemistry teacher, he's really annoying me now. But in a way, I feel weird when his around me, like my heart beat when I'm around him, I couldn't resist it, it felt so good. But he's just nineteen and he's a student. I don't know if he's too blind to see that I'm a teacher. Dad said I should get him to fall for me but I'm not sure that guy even knows what love is. I was already on my way back home, but nest thinking, my phone starts ringing. I pull it out only to see it's from Dam
MILO Coming back from the hospital, I thought about it and realized that I could have told Bianca were I was going, now my phone's off. I decided it's best if I head home. But all of a sudden, I saw a familiar car driving passed me and that's when I looked in to see Bianca in it. The girls driver was driving her. I furrow my brows and turn my car immediately. I slowly follow them as they went through the direction of Lora's house. I frown, Lora was at the hospital. I trail after them till their car stop inside the gate. The guards noticed my presence and let me in. I hopped out of my car, about to make way into the house but stop on my track and listen."Why would I like my step brother that way.....that would be weird" that was Bianca's voice."Right? And it'll be very disgusting" Vanessa asked. She's starting to get on my nerves."But, my mom and his Dad are not yet officially married yet, their just dating for now" Bianca is really making things too obvious."Yeah, but you're st
SOFIA I immediately push Damien off of me. He looks shocked at my outburst. He brushes it off and kiss me again, I struggle to get him off of me. He pins my hands behind my back. I tried to pull away but he kept kissing. He trailed kisses down my chin. I was about to scream but he held my lips. He bites my neck, leaving a hickey. I got angry, really angry. I knead him on the groin. He groan in pain. I slapped him immediately. He was so shocked. I didn't fucking care or give two shit about what he's feeling cause he never cared about how I was feeling. He chuckles. "You used to like when I get dominant with you" he smirked. Honestly, I wasn't scared of what he was doing cause he had taken me many times like that. I was afraid because he's doing it when I don't want him again. "C'mon Sofia. You know you want me, baby" he sucks his lips. "Yeah right. I may still have feelings for you. But this is a way to get you out of my fucked up brain. As from today, I have nothing to do with a
BIANCA Why am I crying so much. I kept cleaning my face but more tears kept flowing down my face. What gotten into him. Earlier today, he told Vanessa that what's her business if I liked him so why is he acting this way. I sob just remembering all the things he did to my body. I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna girl up and find a guy to get laid with. I don't care about him anymore. I wipe my tears for the last time and got out of my bed. I head downstairs to the living room. First of all, I have to open an account because I'm not gonna be following the asshole to school again. That's one fucking mistake. I need to call my mom too. I need money. I don't think I'll be able to open an account if I'm not up to eighteen yet. I entered the kitchen and made some popcorn. I really need to watch a movie. I'll have to tell mom I need a TV in my room. I moved to the living room after making my breakfast. I head to the living room and sat down, picking up the remote. I switch on and put it
MILOTHIRTEEN YEARS AGO"Emilio, your cousin is here, hurry up downstairs!" Mom called. I couldn't wait to see my cousin. I have never met him in person, we only talk through video calls. His dad is really nice to us, his mom died of cancer according to dad. His name is Matteo and his gonna be my little brother, even if I'm only older than him with just two years. I head downstairs immediately. As soon as I reached the bottom step, I saw him grinning at me. "Matteo!" I exclaimed, running towards me. "Emilio!" he called also running to me. We both hugged each other like we've met before. We pulled away and stare at each other. "It's good to finally meet you, brother" he said. "Wow..... you're really good looking than I thought" he chuckles. "Thanks, and you're cute" I ruffles his head. He laughs. "Let's go swimming like we said we will when we meet" I said. He nods before we rush towards the entrance of the house. "Be careful kids!" Dad warns. "Okay!!" We both say before fully exi
AUSTINI don't wanna let go, I still miss him so much. He kept stroking my hair. "What brings you here today?" He asked. I pulled away and looked up at him. "Milo," I replied. "He said you were sick. I feel so good right now. He smiled right at me. "So, you were worried about me, kitten?" He asked. I looked away instantly. He followed my movement. He harshly grabbed my face. My eyes shoot up in an instant. "Where you worried?" He asked again in a husky tone. I nodded my head. "Say it," he said. I gulped. "Yes, I was worried about you," I replied. He sighed and ruffled my hair. "I'm sorry about the last time," he said all of a sudden. I was shocked that he could apologize to me."I was never mad at you. You were high that night, I know, the next day...I was just disappointed," I told him. "I deleted the video. I was never gonna post it. I didn't mean what I said. Sorry for threatening you," he said. I hugged him again. He ruffled my hair. My face was on his chest. I kissed h
LAYLAI walked up to Damien, who stood close to the mirror in his room. I slowly walked over. "I'll... " suddenly grabbing his attention. He turned around and stared at me. "I'll be going now," I said. He nodded his head at me. I sighed. "You can go. I don't think I can trust you anymore." He said. He was all dressed up for school. I managed to try to go to his father's office, but it was locked. Now, I may never walk back into this house. "Why are you chasing me, Damien?" I asked cause I was so confused as to why.He walked up to me and sighed. "I'm not chasing you away, Layla," he called me by my name. Not baby anymore? "I'm not comfortable with your behaviour recently. Your father broke my car mirror. I don't know why he looked so familiar. It's awkward." Shit, I think he almost recognized my Dad."I'm so sorry, Damien. I held his hand. "Can you give me another chance?" I asked. I can't lose this mission. He looked at me for some minutes. He's in love. "I'll think about it
THIRD PERSON'S POV **FORESHADOW**Antonella, Bianca's mother was on her way to meet an unknown number that had been disturbing her for weeks now about hurting her daughter if she didn't show up. She's been devastated. She knew she had to protect her daughter at all costs. She got into her car. She didn't tell anyone where it was going. She was threatened not to let anyone know. She drove downtown towards the location her map was taking her to. As soon as she made it to the expressway. The red light hit the traffic light, indicating she should stop. Her phone started ringing. She pulled it out of her bag to see it was Alejandro, Milo's father.Before she could answer the call, a big truck cleared her car from the side, sending it into the air. The car tumbled around and hit the ground. Unfortunately, her car was the only car on that particular expressway. The truck drove off. *****EARLIER THAT WEEK"What was happening here?" Mr Rossi asked his girlfriend. She sighed. "Anton
BIANCA Me and Lucia were in my room. We were so happy about this. I can't believe my sister has been right in front of my eyes. We didn't say a word to each other. "I can't believe your mom would do such a thing to us. When I met your mom, she said she was willing to adopt me and fight for my father's property that was stolen by my step-aunty. I had no choice 'cause I was looking for my only family, you," she explained. I wiped my tears away. I sobbed. So this is why Mom was hiding this from me, because of my Dad's wealth. I sighed. "I recently just found out about you from our step-cousin, Lorenzo. He told me about the death of Dad and who killed him," I told her. "Lorenzo? As in, Lorenzo from my class?" She asked. I nodded. "Wow. Wait, Dad was killed? I thought it was an accident," she stated. I nodded my head at her. "I just found out about that too," I replied. "I'm happy that I finally got the chance to meet you," she grinned. We hugged each other. Milo stared at us from
MILOI stood up from my seat. "Mom?" I called. Her face fell in an instant. She looked at me like I just said the most emotional thing. My mother's name is Geneva Rossi. "You are my mother, right?" I asked. She gulped. "I don't think you should be saying this, Emilio," Mr Marco said. My heartbeat picked up. The lady was dragged away by him. She kept looking at me. I wanted to go after her, but Lucia held my hand. I looked around to see that I'd drawn attention to myself. I looked at Lucia and pointed to the direction the woman went. "That is -" I said. My eyes were becoming watery. "I know. But you need to calm down, okay?" She said. "If she is your mom, the Emilio Rossi standing in front of me right now, she would have held you and told you that she's sorry. But Milo, even if that lady is your real mother, she's not your mom," she said. She's right, Mom is dead. I remembered when she was buried. Should I tell Dad? No, he'll think I'm going crazy. I'm starting to think I am. "S
MILOI stared at the so-called therapist who was seated in front of me. "Good day, Mr Rossi. I heard you're having trouble sleeping," she asked. I didn't say a word. "Could you like, open up to me. I'm gonna keep it confidential." Was she bribed or what? "Why can't you sleep?" She asked. "Why? You wanna sleep with me?" I asked. I eyed the lady and instantly regretted it. Her body was wrinkled everywhere. I grimaced. She sighed out of annoyance. "Mr Rossi, it seems like you don't want to open up to me. It's alright though. I'm just trying to help," she started grabbing her things. I sighed. She is just doing her job and I'm being fuckin rude. "I miss my mother," I spoke. She looked at me. She dropped her stuff. "She always sang me to sleep every night. Ever since she died, I felt like I died too. If I try too, I'll see her in my dreams staring at me and saying she's not dead." This was something childish, but still considered myself a child then. She jotted down some t
BIANCA He came a little bit closer to me. I couldn't look at him. "What are you keeping from me?" He asked. I gulped. "I can't tell you. I'm sorry," I replied. He stared at me for a few seconds. "Is it that bad that you're afraid to tell me?" He asked. I couldn't answer him. I don't want stuff like that coming out of my mouth. "Just tell me..... I won't get angry, " He insisted. I still couldn't. He will get angry, and I know that. He sighed. "I'm not hungry anymore. Take the fucking food and leave. You killed my appetite," he said. I looked at him in shock. "But you haven't eaten anything...." I trailed off. He looked at me with an angry-looking face. "Did you hear what I said, take the food and get out of my room. You're right, I shouldn't trust you. You were just a tool that I used," he said. I felt tears in my eyes instantly. I didn't think he would say that to me. I hiccuped. I grabbed whatever I could and started walking towards the exit. "Let's not talk or see ea
THIRD PERSON'S POV Arianna and Alessia cried as Milo was still on the ground unconsciously. People were already gathering around. Andrea was smart enough. She grabbed their tablet and FaceTime her Dad. "Pick up, Dad," she mumbled. He picked up immediately. "Dad," she called with a panicked tone. *Princess, are you okay?* He asked as he stared at her scared face. *What's going on there?* he asked. "Daddy, Milo is unconscious on the ground," she cried. Mr Rossi immediately got on his feet with panic written all over his face. *Where are you guys now?* he asked her as he was already heading out of his office. Andrea looked around. "We are at Sammy's ice cream shop outdoor table," she explained. He told his driver to start the car. "Give me five minutes, baby. I'm on my way." He replied before he hung up. He called Aunt Angela to hurry up as well so that she could get the kids back homeThe driver took him to the ice cream shop. Thank goodness it was close by. He soon started
BIANCA Lorenzo and I sat there in silence. I was looking for a way to compose my words. I was the one who wanted to talk, but in the end, I couldn't even form any words. "Did Milo tell you?" He asked. I looked at him immediately. I nodded my head. "It is a small word, isn't it?" I asked. He nodded. "I'm sorry about your father. He was a great man." He replied. I furrowed my brows."You knew my Dad?" I asked. He nodded with a smile. He looked at the floor of the hallway. "He came over once. He bought me a lot of gifts. I knew he was my uncle, but I forgot about him since I only met him once," he spoke. "He bought me ice cream, we went to watch movies." He remembers old memories. "That must have been nice," I replied. He nodded. "Does.....she live with you?" I asked. He looked at me."Yeah," he replied. "What are you gonna do now?" I asked. I could only think of the worst for that lady. "Bianca, I don't want to get you mixed up with any bad stuff. But, I'll make sure she p
