We go downstairs to the dining room, but dinner is still not ready, for some reason, Agatha wants us to wait until midnight to eat. Instead, she takes us to the library, where the rest of the family is gathered, including Romano who is once again drinking scotch. He makes a grimace when he sees me come in and then looks the other way, ignoring my presence. Nonna Julia waves at me so I get close to her, I walk pass Romano ignoring him just as he is ignoring me.“I know we are supposed to wait until tomorrow to exchange gifts, but I’m old and I don’t like to wait. I knitted this for your baby,” Nonna Julia hands me a tiny baby blue sweater with a big yellow ribbon on top.I gulp, it’s the first piece of clothing I have for my baby.“Thank you,” I say moved.“Mamma, you shouldn’t have bothered; we don’t even know if it’s Stefano’s,” Romano exclaims right behind me.Hearing his voice so close to me makes my skin crawl.“Father!” Stefan shouts furious.“Ro, you promised you were going to be

I still feel full from all the food that we ate last night, but that doesn’t stop nonna from serving me a big portion of scrambled eggs and potatoes. Romano is not having breakfast with us, so at least we get to have a harmonious morning. Unfortunately, my joy doesn’t last long. “Lucas is going to the docks to see the shipment off. I suggest you go with him, you know what to do.” Romano says as he walks in the room followed by a

The firsts rays of sunshine slip through the beige curtains, I haven’t slept at all, I feel exhausted, but I can’t stay in bed any longer. My head is going to explode with all the fears and thoughts I’m having. I jump in the shower, wishing that refreshing my body will help me clear my head too, but it doesn’t. My whole body is trembling, I can’t control my nerves. I step out of the shower and hear a lot of noise in the bedroom, I wrap my body in a towel and I peek out the bathroom door to see what’s going on.

A week goes by and Stefan's condition has not improved one bit. I resent Romano for not letting me go to the hospital, but at least he hasn’t come near me since the day he ordered his men to go through my belongings, he spends most of his days out of the mansion, probably in the hospital or searching for the people who did this to his son.I’m waiting for Agatha to come back from her daily visit to Stefan when I hear a loud bang on my door.“The boss wants to see you,” one of Romano’s men informs me.I step out of the room and follow the man to the library where Romano is waiting for me. My heart is pounding in my chest, what does he want? The man goes away leaving Romano and me alone. I get goosebumps thinking about the fact that Agatha is not home to defend me; I’m going to have to defend myself. I stand near the exit, in case he intends to attack me and I need to run.“I’m about to tell you something you are not going to like. I need you to stay calm and listen carefully, spare me a

I stay in bed until morning comes, I’m overwhelmed by emotions: the loss of my parents, the fear of losing Stefan, and the concern for my own safety. Romano’s men are still standing outside the bedroom door, they haven’t moved an inch. I don't feel safe, they can come in any second and shoot me or do whatever Romano tells them to. I’m completely vulnerable. I can’t be alone, I have to be near Agatha or the grandparents so they can intervene if Romano tries to harm me. I ask the guards to let me go see nonna Julia. They seem reluctant, but finally they agree. They walk next to me to nonna’s bedroom and stay outside the door in case I try to go out. I don’t, I stay with her the entire day. We eat there, watch TV and keep each other company. She is really sad about her grandson’s health and she appreciates having someone near since Agatha went to the hospital to visit Stefan as she has done every day for the past week. I stay with nonna until dawn and then go back to my room. My heart acc

Luckily, Romano’s men don’t come with us to Rio, only Diogo, Agatha’s driver, and bodyguard, accompanies us to the city. We go to a big mall, buy an iced coffee and start going through the different shops. I keep on the defense, in case Agatha starts trying to persuade me to give Romano the information he needs, but she doesn’t even mention the subject, instead, she seems nervous. She constantly looks over her shoulder to check if Diogo is near us, I guess she is scared someone might attack us as they did to Stefan.

At dawn, we hear a loud bang followed by multiple shots and a lot of shouting from Romano’s men. We are being attacked. Rebecca and I immediately get to the floor, I cover my baby with my trembling body. A tall man with dark hair comes into the room agitated.“They found us! We have to get out of here, come with me.” He yells at us. “Hurry!”We get up and start following him downstairs. My baby is crying loudly, but it’s barely noticeable in the midst of all the gun noise.“Let’s use the back door!” The man shouts.We go to the kitchen and thru the back door, but Gustavo’s intruders are already waiting for us. They shoot the man who was leading us and he falls to the ground. We run back inside the house and they follow us. They try to get to me, but Rebecca gets in the way. One of the intruders pistol-whips Rebecca in the head so hard she loses consciousness. He then sprints to me and tries to take my baby out of my arms. I yell and kick him in the crotch.

I light the big Buzz Lightyear shaped candle on top of the carrot cake Agatha made. Alex loves Buzz Lightyear, so our house is full of toys and stuff from that cartoon character.

I step out of the kitchen and into the dining room, Alex gasp excited as he sees the candle, he is sitting on his dad’s lap. Agatha starts to sing happy birthday at the top of her lungs. Rebecca and Stefan share a mocking smile discreetly and then start to sing along. It has been hard for Rebecca to reconnect with her brother, but she wanted to be part of ba
