♥ CHAPTER FIFTY''SIX♥

Dylan.

'' So beautiful. '' I snap out of my thoughts at Lorenzo's voice and look to the side, seeing Elisa asleep and leaning against the car window.

“Yes,” I immediately agree with him.

“It really hurts the way she's been treating us because of our lie,” Christopher says. “Really really boring.

“I agree with you, brother. My heart is hurting so much,” Alex sighs. “I'm apprehensive about the idea that she might come and abandon us.

“Yes, and that's suffocating. She doesn't even look at us properly, she doesn't kiss us anymore. I miss this so much, I miss your cuddling, your lips, everything.” Thomas's tone is sad.

'' You know, I really hated the idea of ​​hooking up with that girl, I warned you it would be a bad idea, but you never listen to me. Lorenzo scolds, his tone showing deep anger.

In fact, he was the only one who disagreed with our crazy idea. Only he was against using Larissa to cover the lack that Elisa did while she was in a coma, however, it was four against one, there was no way he could win, but at that moment, I bitterly regret not having listened to him. He was right, all along.

Lorenzo has always hated self''serving women since he was a little boy. We thought maybe he was different from the rest of us, and we were surprised when he started to like Elisa. We realized this when we noticed that she was not like the others.

I remember once dating a girl, with no input from others. Clara and I had a peaceful relationship, until I realized that she was with me for the money, and that she was compulsively cheating on me. So it happened to each of them, while Lorenzo preserved himself.

Result: Lorenzo always right and me and all of us fucked to the guts.

Exhausted, I lean my head against the window and close my eyes, thinking of a time when our parents were alive.

I was in my room studying for the English test and I didn't even realize that my mother was watching me.

“Dylan? she called out, drawing my eyes to her.

"Hi Mom, did something happen?" I asked, a little worried and put my studies aside as she approached.

"Dylan, you know that your father and I are involved in the mafia, don't you?" ' He sat next to me.

'' Yes mom. Daddy is teaching me to fight and shoot. Why the question? I stared at her, confused.

'' You also know that this life we ​​have makes it impossible for us to leave alive, don't you?

"Mother, what are you trying to say?" I widened my eyes, startled.

"Dylan, you and your brothers will have to go through this life, Christopher and Alex are already involved in meetings, so be prepared for the future, Dylan." She sighed. “Your father and I will not survive this night, the threat we received will be fulfilled and we will die to protect you.

'' What? Startled, I got up. “No, no, no, please, Mom, don't do this to me.

“Dylan, pay attention: we're doing this to save our children's lives, that's what parents who love their children do. Take your brothers and leave this town. I'll only come back when I'm stronger and avenge your family, avenge me dear. She kissed my forehead. “Remember this, Dylan, your father and I love you more than anything in this life, and so do your brothers. Protect each other, form a wonderful family and be strong, never put your head down for anyone.

I sigh, as if that day was still recent and I soon realize that we are in the mansion.

“Is everything okay, Dylan? Christopher looks at me, concerned.

I smile.

“I am, brother. I just remembered something, don't worry '' I answer, making him wave and we get out of the car, Lorenzo follows with Elisa on his lap and all of us follow him.

“I'm going to take her to the bedroom, disappointed to hear that she probably doesn't want to sleep with me.

“You really don't,” I smile, teasing him.

He huffs and heads for the stairs, leaving traces of Elisa's perfume around the room.

'' What were you thinking so much about the car, brother? '' Alex goes to the bar and helps himself.

“Just thinking about the past. In the betrayals we suffered with some ex''girlfriends and in our family. “Everyone looks at me. “Our parents would be proud of us for being good mob leaders as well as successful businessmen.

We laugh together.

“Our mother would kill us for what we did to Elisa,” Thomas says.

“Yes, she would, in fact, gladly kill us. '' I amend and laugh some more.

'' Well, it's been a busy night, I'm going to retire '' Alex leaves his empty glass on the bar counter. "Until tomorrow, brothers."

'' I'm also going to retire, I'm tired '' I say goodbye to the others and follow Alex, walking quietly to my room, thinking about how stressful the day was.

I put my jacket on the small couch and head to the bathroom, taking off the rest of my clothes, which I put in the hamper and stand under the shower.

I needed a bath like this.

I look down at the floor thoughtfully and inhale deeply. We need to think of something that will make Elisa forgive us all, otherwise we'll go crazy soon.
