♥ CHAPTER NINETY''FOUR♥
Elisabeth.
Sister? I don't even know what to say, whether I'm surprised or not. They never told me they had a sister.
'' And who are you? he asks, looking me up and down.
“I'm your brothers' girlfriend.
She widens her eyes.
'' Girlfriend? Of the five?
I nod and her eyes land on my stomach.
“Are you pregnant with them too?” he asks, and it makes me snort.
“And whose babies would that be?”
She crosses her arms suspiciously. Here comes shit.
'' How will I know? I don't know you very well, but I can believe you're only with them for the money.
I close my eyes and mentally tell myself not to freak out about this girl.
'' Look, as you said, you don't know me well, so know that I love your brothers more than my own life! I would give anything for them, I mean almost anything, because my children are more important now, so don't come here and say I'm with them to get money, you don't know who I am. Mind your own business and I'll mind mine.
She makes a face and the instant she thinks about saying something, Lorenzo opens the door and behind him, the others enter.
'' Love… sister? ’ He looks at her seriously. “I didn't know you'd come to Italy.
'' Little brother, I missed you so much! I heard they were living here and decided to visit them. '' She goes towards Lorenzo to hug him, who walks away. '' What is the problem?
''You still ask what the problem is? Dylan asks sharply. “You died for all of us as soon as you betrayed us to the Mafia. '' He says, all brute to her, who takes a step back.
Lorenzo walks past her and comes to me. As I'm on my feet, he hugs me and puts his face in my neck.
'' I''I''I was forced to do what I did… Please. Her voice cracks, which indicates she's going to cry.
“Don't give me that, if you really were obligated to something, you would have talked to us and not gone behind our backs. '' Said Alex, also harsh with her.
I look over Lorenzo's shoulder and see that she's crying her eyes out.
'' I''I''I didn't mean to do that… Please excuse me.
I sigh at that.
'' Forgive a fuck! Lorenzo gives a brutal scream and lets go of me, startling me.
“We don't want to see you ever again in front of us, damn it! So get out of here before I slowly kill you! “It's so cold it has to be the L.
'' Go away. Christopher speaks very calmly, too calmly.
'' M''m''mas…
"Fuck off!" Thomas yells at her and she starts, running out of the office, leaving us alone.
Sigh, there was so much yelling that my ears are hurting now.
“When were you going to tell me you had a sister?” '' I question after a few minutes of silence.
'' Never! '' Answer together.
'' And why not?
“Because she just died for us. She betrayed us, handed us over to the mafia when we were still building everything our parents fought to keep standing. Because of her, our life was almost lost, we were all raised together and she was a friend, but what she did to us is unforgivable. Dylan explains.
I don't understand how a sibling fight works, but I think they were unfair not to hear it. This is very complicated.
'' All right, I want to get some sleep now, can we go home? I ask, running my hand over my face.
Since Lorenzo is still close, he kisses my forehead.
'' We can, we don't have any more meetings, we're free now. Christopher replies and I smile excitedly.
“Okay, then let's go home.
When I leave, I don't find Adriana, because she's already gone home.
The only thing I want right now is my bed and a good night's sleep, even though it's two''thirty in the afternoon.
I follow with Alex and Christopher in the car, Chris sitting in the backseat with me.
'' Is tired? he asks, placing his hand on my thigh.
“Yes, carrying three babies isn't easy, no.
Ele ri.
“Then get some rest.
I close my eyes and soon fall asleep on his shoulder.
****
I wake up hungry and see the dark room when I open my eyes. I stretch, sit up, and yawn before checking the time. Six pm.
I get up, brush my teeth and wash my face, staring at myself in the mirror, pouting all the time. I am fat!
I put on my sneakers and leave the room, going to Lorenzo's.
'' What a scare, love! “He's putting on his shirt.
'' Why are you scared? What are you doing wrong, huh?
I'm still confused.
“I'm not doing anything wrong, love, I just freaked out with you walking into the room like that.
Sigh.
'' I am fat?
He blinks several times.
'' I think you are pretty.
Snort with it.
“I asked if I'm fat, not beautiful. You think I'm fat and you don't want to tell me? I ask, feeling my eyes water.
'' What? That's it, love, I think you're wonderful. I didn't fall in love with your body, but with your character. I love you and, no, you're not fat.
I stare at him like I'm looking for a lie, but I know he's telling the truth.
'' Serious?
“Yes, love, we love you just the way you are, I hope you remember that. I don't care if you ever end up getting fat, I love you.
I smile.
'' You promise?
He smiled.
'' Yes, I promise we'll love you just the way you look in the future.
I go to him and hug him tightly.
'' Thanks.
He kisses my hair.
“No need to thank me, I was honest. Now it's time for you to feed and not let the little imps get excited.
I smile against his neck.
'' Yes sir.
We intertwined our fingers and left his room. At the top of the stairs, he picks me up and walks down the steps without any difficulty. Then he puts me on the floor and we go to the kitchen.
“Good afternoon, Rose.
'' Good afternoon dear. '' Speak softly.
“Good afternoon, boys.
They smile at me.
“Good afternoon, queen. '' Answer together.
“Sit down to eat, dear. Lorenzo guides me and I sit next to Dylan.
'' Hey love. He kisses my cheek affectionately.
'' Hey beautiful. '' Kiss him back.
"And don't we get pecks on the cheek?" Alex smiles.
"Later, now I'm going to eat." I say, just as Rosa places a plate of soup in front of me.
“We were traded for food. '' He mutters, making drama.
'' Really was.
'' What evil! '' Put your hand on your chest.
I laugh and start eating my soup. It's so good, it goes down so warm in my throat that it seems… better not to comment. As usual, the guys watch me silently.
"How about we watch a movie when we're done with dinner?" Christopher asks directly to me.
'' Excelent idea! '' I answer, all euphoric.
“Then eat so we can go.
'' Yes sir.
Now we're all in the movie theater, watching “Everybody in Panic”, laughing our asses off at the character Cindy, and Dona Rosa enters the room.
“Excuse me, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but there's a woman over there in the living room who insists on talking to everyone.
I glare at them.
'' Who is this woman?
“She didn't want to say the name.
"Then let's find out who it is!" '' I get up from the couch and we all follow to the living room, finding that sister of the boys.
It's today that I'm going to have a headache!
“What the fuck are you doing here, the fuck?” Lorenzo yells, irritated.
'' I want to talk, please, Enzo. '' Your voice is weak.
'' Talk the fuck! I want you to get out of here! “Now it's Thomas's turn to scream.
Do these people only know how to scream?
"I'm not leaving here!" “She screams too.
I close my eyes and put my hands over my ears from all this screaming, my head is pounding.
'' Look, you have two choices: get out of here by hook or by crook, which one do you choose? Lorenzo asks sharply. "Fuck off!" Responds!
'' I''I''I didn't have a choice… p''p''please… just let me speak. She sobs so hard it makes me feel sorry for her.
"Let the girl talk, for God's sake!" I already have a headache from all this screaming! '' I complain, irritated and go to her.
“Speak up, dear. '' I say gently.
“I didn't say anything out of fear, afraid I'd end up losing you. I was abused by the mob leader and he threatened to kill all of you if I told him, he was much stronger than you at the time. He made me hand you over to him, but I didn't, I swear I didn't. Someone found out where you were living and caught you, after that they blamed it on me, but I had no idea what happened. I spent years blaming myself for what had happened, I ended up getting pregnant by that son of a bitch, but unfortunately I lost the baby to anxiety and stress. She lowered her head. '' I would never do that to you, I'd rather die than hand you over to that unfortunate man.
I get emotional. Hormones drug.
Christopher lets out a sigh at that and walks over to her.
“Why did you suffer in silence? We were family and families work together.
“I''I couldn't tell you, Christopher, just thinking about what happened… I felt disgusted with myself.
'' I understand you. I say and she looks at me. '' This also happened to me, I was abused by mafia men, their leader kidnapped me, beat me and abused me. After that, I started hallucinating, I even saw Lorenzo having sex with my best friend, my reflection telling me to kill myself. There was so much pain inside me that I went crazy.
“How did you get over it?”
“I…I can't even tell. I fell into a coma as soon as I fell down the stairs and when I woke up, everything was gone. It was like I was born again. Thanks to their love, I'm living my life the way I always wanted to and now I'm going to have kids with them, I know I made the right choice to be with men who love me.
“And we really do. '' They answer together, making me smile.
“My friend helped me get over it.
'' Thanks. And I'm sorry for being rude to you at the company.
I smile.
“Okay, everyone makes mistakes. I hope we can be friends from now on.
'' Try.
“Well, I'll let you talk. I'm going to sleep again, because I'm very tired. Thomas, take me! “I extend my arms to him.
“Slack you, huh?” He chuckled, picking me up in his arms.
“I really am, love. I kiss her cheek and together we go upstairs.
'' Talk to her straight, everyone deserves a second chance.
He kisses my forehead.
'' We'll talk to her, you can sleep peacefully.
“Have Alex sleep with me after they talk.
He nods and carefully places me on the bed.
“Good night, Tom, I love you.
He gives my lips a peck.
“Good night, queen, I love you too.
He leaves the room and I cover myself up to my neck. I hope they get resolved.
