BIANCA
Honestly, this place feels safe and cozy. I took a quick shower in my luxurious bathroom...... or should I say en suite. But one thing I reminded myself is not to get to comfortable.
I don't still agree with all this people. I don't need a big brother nor little sisters. I'm an only child to the Moretti family.
I actually got used to the stairs. It was long but I didn't actually care a bit anymore cause I realized it was just stairs. I noticed the living room has CCTV but the upstairs doesn't. Weird.
I walked towards the living room but no one was there. I saw a maid. "Excuse me, please where's the dinning room?" I asked.
"Oh, its this door ma'am" she pointed to right opposite the kitchen hall way. I opened the door and walked in.
All eyes fell on me.
I walked towards a free seat, ignoring Mr. Rossi's glare. "We were waiting for you Bianca" he spoke.
"I lost my way here, I'm sorry" I replied. Mom was shocked when I said I'm sorry.
"I'm sure you learned etiquette. We don't show to table late. Now, let's all say our blessings and have our meals" he said. I look at everyone and noticed Emilio isn't here. "Emilio.....will join us late" he added as if he read my mind. "And also, please ignore the kid, he's a trouble maker" he smiled. He sounds so Italian, like mom.
We are Italians based in America, the same with this freaks of a family.
"I'm sure you've met the girls?" He asked. I looked at them as they stare at me. I nod at him and gulp. "They are also trouble makers" he said. I guess I already knew that.
"But Aria and I like her" Alessia said with a pout on her lips.
"Yeah, Lisa and I like her but Andy doesn't" Arianna added. Andrea quickly hid her face from her Dad. I noticed he was already getting angry. What's going on.
"Andrea, tell me that is not true" he said. Mom held his hand for him to calm down.
"No daddy.....I don't want a big sist-" he quickly cut her off.
"And why don't you? You know what I'm capable of babygirl" he said with a warning tone.
"Sorry Daddy" she looks down. She then looks at me. "Sorry Bianca" she said. I smiled at her.
We all started to get our cutleries. Mom secretly place a napkin on my lap. She once said he hates people eating without napkins on their laps.
We ate quietly. I noticed everyone was eating the way mom had taught me. As soon as dinner was over, I was about to stand up and pack the dishes when maids starts rushing in.
"There's no need for that" Mr Rossi spoke to me. I nod.
This is so different from the life I had lived. Everything seems so extravagant and I don't know if I'll handle it.
I soon head upstairs to my room and I had time to study. I'll be starting school on Monday which is after tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be comfortable with rich kids.
Mr Rossi did say Emilio is good at protecting family. But I haven't even seen the Emilio guy yet. Time had went by, but as much as I try, this bed was too comfortable for me to sleep in. I couldn't sleep.
I got off bed and walked towards the window. As soon as I opened, I walked into the balcony. I noticed a figure on my left side.
As soon as I looked, the male silhouette walked into the room from the balcony. That's Emilio. I didn't see his face, only his back. But fuck, he's tall as hell.
I head back into my room and wore my afterwear and head out of the room, trying not to make any sounds. I walked deep into the hall. Home many rooms those this house have.
As soon as I reached the end of the hall, I noticed there was a staircase that leads the roof. I was curious so I slowly climb the stairs, heading up to the roof.
The cold breeze hit my skin. I could see the stars and the moon. I breathe in. I then started perceiving the smell of smoke..... cigarettes.
I looked at the far end as I noticed the same figure at the balcony sitting at the other end. But I couldn't still see his face. Why is he smoking. I'm not saying anything cause I smoke too, but I just feel like there's some reason.
I decided to go back down to my room but as soon as I reached the door to my room, I noticed Emilio's door was opened ajar. No, Bianca, don't do it!.....
It won't hurt to go in. I mean, I'll be out before he gets down from the roof. I looked left and right slowly walking to his door, I creak it open and walked. I was stunned.
His room was just like mine in size, it had a parlor, walk-in closet, study, bathroom, balcony. But his room is painted black a green. It looks so depressing.
I heard footsteps coming, I gasp. I looked around as soon as I heard the footsteps getting closer. My eyes landed on the bed. I immediately went under it.
He walked in, his footsteps coming closer. As soon as I saw it right in front of me......his high black boots, I held my mouth. He stopped and I had no reason why he stopped.
He started walking towards the bathroom. I sigh and came out, rushing towards the door, I twisted the doorknob but it didn't open. I gulp. My palm became sweaty. Did he lock the door?
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I heard a deep sexy voice behind be. I freeze there, slowly turning around and looking at him. My eyes widened at the sight in front of me.
This guy is cute..... goodness, his lips is so pink. Let's not talk about his blue eyes and pointy nose. Fuck me. This guy is a fucking hottie. The way he lean on the wall make his muscles pop out from the hoody. I got a glimpse of his tattoos on his hands.
He's a bad boy.
"Uhm....I.....uhh" he lean up and walked towards me. Please, ground.....just open and swallow me. He stopped right in front of me, he lean down close to my face.....his closure sends shiver down my spine. He was as intimidating as his father.
"Don't fucking come to my room again, yes?" He whispered against my lips. If I move, we'll probably kiss. I gulp.
I heard the door unlock and he moved away. I quickly turn around and opened the door before rushing out. I entered my room and shut the door. I took in a deep breath.
What just happened right now. Did I just get scared of him? Am I supposed to be scared of him? I sigh and got on my bed. This is fucked up. Why did I go to his room in the first place.
How do I face him when day breaks.
MILO
Why does she have to have a fucking child. She's getting married to my Dad, what concerns that little thing. I sigh as I lay on my bed. Why was she in my room.
I had seen her in the balcony and on the roof when she was busy staring at me like I'm a demon or something. But I wasn't expecting to come to my safe zone.
I heard a door on my door. It better not be her cause I won't be able to keep myself in control. I guess the word is a small place.
I walked over to the door and opened it. My eyes went down to my little princess. I squat down to her level and held her face.
"Why are you awake, princess?" I whispered. She looked sad. Andrea isn't someone to get sad. She only gets angry.
"Can I sleep in your room. I couldn't sleep" she asked. How would I say no to her. I practically raised her by myself. I stood up and walked her in before closing the door. I helped her on my bed and covered her with the duvet. I got on the other side.
She quickly hugged me and soon after, she fell asleep. I sigh and stroke her head. My eyes became heavy. I closed my eyes and dose off.
I woke up to the sounds of camera clicking and giggles. I opened my eyes to see it was my stepmom, Arianna and Alessia taking pics of Andrea and I sleeping.
Andrea's legs where on my chest while her her head was close to the edge of the bed. I sigh.
Can they just fucking stop, this is so annoying. I moved Andrea's legs away, causing her to fall off the bed. "Ouch!" She wince and pouted at me.
"Sorry." I apologize. I looked at everyone. "Good morning to you, ma'am" I muttered grumpily.
Mrs Moretti smiled warningly at me. "I told you to call me Mom" she said. I looked at her and walked away to the bathroom. I don't know, but she always seems to warm my heartless heart.
I entered my bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and some toothpaste. I started brushing my teeth. I didn't eat any fucking food last night and now I'm fucked up hungry.
BIANCA
I head straight downstairs to the kitchen where my mom said breakfast is normally eaten. I entered the kitchen and that when I saw him, eating leftover pizza on the counter. His eyes are so beautiful and his height is perfect. I may be reaching his waist if possible.
I noticed the kids were eating bacon and scrambled eggs. Yummy. I walked over to where my breakfast was. They eat like royals. They don't talk or spill anything. And their Dad isn't even here.
I opened the plate and that's when they all looked at me. "What?" I asked. Arianna swallowed and cleaned her mouth with napkins before facing me.
"You don't eat before washing your hands" she said. Unbelievable. I huff and got up from my seat and walked towards the sink where Emilio was standing.
I turned on the sink and that's when I could feel his eyes looking at me. I dare not look at him. I don't know, but he was eying me up and down.
I rinsed my hand and was about to walk away but his words stopped me. "What's your name?" He spoke with that deep voice last night. I slowly face him.
"Uhm.... I'm.....I'm Bianca" I introduced. I gulped. He looks at me for a few seconds before raising his hand. I thought he wanted to slap me or something but I felt a big hand on my head, patting it slowly. I slowly open my eyes to see that he was patting my head like I was his little sister.
I looked into his blue eyes, although he was still way taller than I am......way way tall. He was looking at my head while I look at his blue eyes. I sigh. He looks like an angel.
His sleeve is shirt so I could see everything prominent, his tattoos, his strong arms covered with veins. Fuck I like this guy.
He pulled away and walked out of the kitchen. I watch as he left, I could tell that the girls are looking at me with a smile.
I walked back to my seat and sat down. "Big brother likes you" Alessia said. I looked at her. "We like you too" she added. How old are this girls.
"How old are you guys?" I asked out of curiosity.
"We're nine" they all replied at the same time. This girls will be the death of me.
EMILIO "I heard you got a sissy now, is she cute?" Lorenzo asked. I feel like blowing is face off. Why must he bring up Bianca. I'm so sick if being in the same house with the girl. "Can you fucking not talk about her?" I asked. I sigh. He smirked at me."Can I hook up with her?" He bite his lips. My blood was boiling. I held his shirt."What's fucking wrong with you? Do you even know what she's going through right now?" I said out of anger. He raised his hand in surrender. He chuckles after I let him go."Fine, Mr overprotective. But what is she going through?" He asked. I close my eyes and sigh. Why did I tell him that.BIANCA It's really boring in this house. I finished studying and there's nothing else I can do. They had dropped my uniforms for me. It seems they do delivery in that school, I also got my locker number and my classroom. Mom said the name of the school is Royal High and it's not far from home so it's safe. I don't know if it's a good idea. She also said if I'm b
BIANCAThe look on everyon's face was priceless, like I just did a miracle. How long has he had dinner with his family? Mom stared at me like i just did the impossible. I looked at Emilio, but he only walks past me. He took a seat next to Arianna. I shrugged and walked over to my seat. Mom held my hand. I looked next to me to see her grining at me. "How did you do it?" Mom asked in a whispering tone. I rolled my eyes."You guys could've just asked him to have dinner with you all......." I trailed off, strugging my shoulder. "Easy peasy" I said. "Good evening sir" Milo greeted his father, Mr Rossi didn't even give him a look which was sad. In a way, i actually feel bad for Milo. Everyone started eating their meal and fucking gracious its delicious. My gaze moved over to Milo again, he was busy feeding his little sister Arianna who was still shocked at his presence.Mom felt the tention in the air and I felt it too that they both were'nt comfortable around each other. Mom finally spok
BIANCAHonestly, at some point it was really fun walking around the hall by myself but I think I'm lost. Milo could have just escorted me to the principal's office. I don't really know where I am. "Hi" I turn around to the voice. A girl with green emerald eyes was smiling right at me. I smiled right back at her."Hi, I'm Bianca" I replied. She grin even more."You must be Emilio's step sister. It's nice to meet you, Bianca......I'm Sofia, by the way. Milo wanted me to help you out" she said. I felt relieved when she said that. "C'mon" she said. I followed her as she tells me the areas that we are passing. This place is really huge. We finally made it to the lockers. Honestly, I forgot I had my locker code. "Your locker code was sent to your email, right?" She asked. I nod and pulled out my phone to check the message. I saw my locker number and that's when my eyes looked up to search the lockers. "717" I whispered. Sofia started looking for it."Here it is!" she exclaimed. I walked
BIANCA Presently, we were at Milo's table. The girl named Blakely smiles at me creepily. I tried as much as possible not to make eye contact with her. "So........ how old are you?" She uttered. I looked at Milo first but he was on his phone. "I'll be seventeen soon" I replied. She nods as if trying to process something. Milo looks at me, more like glere at me. Did I say something wrong. "Wow..... how long have you been his sister? You know, I was not aware that he has a little sister" she said. Okay, this is getting annoying."Who are you to know?" I blurted out. They all looked at me like I said the unexpected. "I mean, not everyone knows" I corrected. "I am more closer to Milo here, so I need to know everything that goes on in his life" she said. Milo and his friends let out a mocking laugh. He recomposed. I really didn't know he had dimples. So fucking hot. "Fuck off, Blakely" he said to the embarrassed girl. She glared at him. "What? I'm only trying to know the relationship
BIANCA His leans closer that I could feel his minty cigarettes breath. "The AC is on, Carina {Cutie}. Tell me, did she?" He asked. Why did he call me a cutie in Italian. Goodness, I'll die here.My breathing picks up. "No, no she didn't, can I go now?" I whispered. He was still giving me his straight rude face. He leans even closer and I moved back a little. I realized he was removing the seatbelt. I sigh in relief. I gathered the McDonalds bag and opened the car door. I closed it before running in. I rushed to the kitchen and drop the stuff on the table. I head upstairs to my room. I shut the door and lean on it. "What the fuck just happened?" I said to myself. I cry to my bed and fall on it, face flat.....I yelled on my pillow till I can't anymore. I'm really hungry right now, my stomach is really grumbling and I really need to eat but I'm embarrassed to go out. Soon, someone knocked on my door. "Hey, I'm heading out.....I'll be really late. Come down and it and watch the girls
BIANCA I head downstairs for breakfast, looks like I'm early today. I entered the noisy dinning room. I watch as maids walks in with trays of breakfast. Is Mr Rossi home today? He is. "Good morning everyone" I said, taking a seat next to Arianna. I wonder were Milo is. I noticed Mr Rossi was deep in thought, maybe he's wondering why Milo isn't here today. After last scene, he's still wondering?We started eating breakfast but soon later Milo walked in. I looked at him as he walks towards the diner. He took a seat next to my mom. "Good morning everyone" he looks really tired, he hasn't had enough sleep."If you're coming to eat with us, come early or don't come at all" Mr Rossi starts."Ale, stop it." Mom warns. "What matters is that he's here with us all" she put some sense into the man's head. "Eat Emilio" she held his shoulder. He nods and grab a piece of bread with Nutella. The relationship between him and his father is getting worst every day. It's like the man keeps making his
BIANCA"Can I go to the party tonight?" I asked the guy playing video games on the living room couch. He pauses his game and look at me."Why?" He asked, eying me up and down. "That party is....." He looks at me one more time again. "....not for you" he finished. I groan. This is all messed up, so fucking messed up. I need to stay away from him no matter what."Please, it's not my first time at a party" I said. "Besides, you're gonna be there" i please. He glared at me."Do you even know what happens at patties? You're an idiot" he sigh. I got on my knees in front of his spread legs. His eyes followed my movement. I held his lap."Please......I'll do anything" I said. He looks into my eyes for some second, as if trying to tell me something. I soon realize the position we're in. I quickly stood up."Fine, you can go. But, don't collect drinks from strangers" he warns. I nod my head like a kid.I turn around and rushed back upstairs. I can't wait to tell Sofia and Lora, they're gonna be
BIANCA For a while now, no one actually came to look for me which I'm thankful about; and for some while, I've been going around, drinking whatever someone gave me and I'm fucking wasted. I kept kissing and making out with complete strangers that I can't even see properly. I'll probably forget everything, just like my life. I've cried like three times in this party, thinking about my life. "Hey cutie" I turned around to see two weird looking guys. "Are you alone?" He asked. The way he called me cutie reminded me of Milo calling me Carina. I cried. But then, it's like the two guys noticed something before walking off. "You're fucked up drunk" Milo.....his voice, he's here. "You.....you asshole......you dickhead prick!" I hit his chest. "You embarrassed me. Why didn't you get hard for me. I was......I was....." I hiccup. "Wet" I placed my head on his chest. "You're drunk, let's go home" he said, ignoring everything I just said. "That's your problem, you don't care..... you're alw
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
BIANCA Milo didn't know what to say. Judging by my silence, he knew this was not the time to say anything. I was trying to process all this. My father was murdered by his stepsister. "How did he know?" I uttered after a while of silence. He sighed and looked at me. "He lives with her. He figured out a lot of things recently. The death of his father. His twin brother. His mom is late......your father," he explained. Does he have a twin? "Is....." I have a feeling that what I'm about to ask is what I'm thinking. "...my Mom's aware of it?" I asked. He looked at his feet. "Judging by what Lorenzo said, she knew all along," he replied. Anger filled my body. I stood up, but Milo pushed me down by my wrist. I landed on the couch. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked. I glared at him. "I'm gonna ask her why she didn't tell me," I told him. He shook his head. "I'm not sure that's the best move," he stated. "You're angry right now. You should talk to her like mother and daughte
