When I woke up I was in my room alone on my bed. I tiredly got up and got on comfortable clothes since it was Sunday
I went downstairs and found Corey on the couch watching movies
"Where are dad, Felix, and Rosy?" I asked
"Felix and Rosy are in his room playing and Dad went to work because someone screwed something up," he said
I sat down next to him and he side-hugged me.
We watched the uncharted together until dad came home and slammed the door shut
As he walked in the cursed in Italian but stop when he saw Rosy and Felix come down.
"Get it done and right this time or so help me you will die," Dad said and hung up before he opened his arms for Rosy
She ran to him and he picked her up and kissed her head twice
"I have to go to Italy with Corey so it will just be you three here for a while. Felix knows where the school we put Rosy is and on your way to work you can drop her off," dad said
"Thanks, Dad," I said
"We'll be leaving in a few minutes so we're going to go pack," Dad said and put Rosy down before he and Corey went upstairs
"So what are we three going to do while they are gone?" Felix asked
"Watch movies and skip school?" Rosy said
"My little Rosy you have to go," I said
"Mommy what if they doing like me?" She asked
"Baby you'll be okay and if they don't like you they're idiots," I said and kissed her head
"Okay remember to look after yourself and no parties," Dad said making us shake our heads.
"We aren't teenagers anymore dad," Felix said
"And thank heavens for that," he said and kissed my head before they left
"Free at last!" Felix said making Rosy laugh
"Let's get some food in and then watch some movies," I said
We watched all kinds of children's movies until Rosy fell asleep.
"I'll take her upstairs and tuck her in chose a good movie," Felix said
I nodded my head and kissed Rosy's head before he left with her. I grabbed the remote and put on something else to watch
Felix came back and we cuddle as we watched movies. I fell asleep but woke up what felt like a few minutes screaming
"Woah chill," Felix said and hugged me till I was calm
"You okay?" He asked
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said
"Arora?" He said and I sigh
"Every time I close my eyes I feel his hand on me and see him hitting me. I can't sleep because of the nightmares I get. It's always the same dream. Him hitting me,"
"Arora, did he rape you?" Felix asked
I said nothing and he only pulled me closer knowing the answer. We watched the sun come up and the new day start.
I went to the kitchen and started breakfast. After a while, Rosy came in and sat down with Felix following her
"You ready for school?" I asked her and she nodded her head happily
Felix took over making breakfast and I fixed her hair. When I was done I went upstairs and got a quick shower before getting dressed.
As I went down I grabbed the keys and my phone.
"You guys ready?" I asked taking the last step down and putting my hair in a messy bun
"Yup was just waiting for you," Felix said
We walked out and I saw a curious woman looking at us
"Hy ms. Bennet, I want you to meet my sister and her daughter," Felix said without even looking at the woman
She glared at us but we ignored it and we got in the car. I made sure Rosy was strapped in before getting in myself
We drove for a couple of minutes and once we got to the school I walked with Rosy to the office
Once she was taken to class by her new teacher I looked at the time and saw we were late so I ran to the car and got in
Felix drove like a mad man and once we stopped Dante and Dominic were waiting for us outside
"What took you so long?" Dante asked
"Sorry had to drop off my niece at school," Felix said
"Come on you two are coming with me. Arora, Matteo is waiting for you on the last floor here is your pass to get on the private elevators," He said and gave me a key card and pointed to the private elevator
I smiled and went to it once I was in and the door started closing I saw them give me one last look before leaving
I went to the top floor and saw Alex leaning against the wall.
"Took you long enough come on," he said looking at me
I followed him and we went down the hall. Many looked at me in shock and others glared at me.
We entered the last office and heard Matteo speak Spanish
"¡Maldita sea, ninguno de ustedes puede hacer su trabajo! Arréglalo antes de que pierdas la cabeza idiota," he yelled
(Translation- My fucking hell can't any of you do your jobs! Fix it before you lose your head dickhead)
He turned around and saw us before cursing one last time and putting the phone down.
"Why did you just threaten a guy by saying he'll lose his head," I asked and they looked at me with surprise"You should have said that you skin him alive or cut off his dick and then ears and lastly the tongue. That way they'll work faster and get the job right," I added and their eyes went wide"First of all, I like you. Second, how do you know Spanish? Thirdly, you're a savage. Skinning a man alive and cutting off his dick," Alex said"I'm a very likeable person. I also watched a lot of horrors in my life and live through some as well. I know a lot of languages like Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Danish, and lastly English," I said"Why not Italian?" Matteo asked"After I got out of high school I married and had Rosy. I gave up learning to be a mother and housewife," I said"Wait that means you're only 23?" Alex asked"24," I saidThey looked at each other and frowned before Matteo said, "Alex you're excused make sure to get the idiot to talk this time.As for you, I need you to help me
As I walked past Lorain she said something that made me stop"What did you just say?" I asked."He will never go for you you want to know why?" She asked"I'm not after anyone here unlike you so maybe mind your own business and stop acting like a whore. Do your work and shut the fuck up," I said and went into the office I saw more paperwork and finished it just as Matteo and Alex came into the office."Did you take a break?" Alex asked as he closed the door"Yes, a two-minute break. Here is more paperwork that can be filed and the once you need to sign off on," I said and placed the paperwork on Matteo's desk"Arora, go home it's almost 2 pm. Go get your kid and go home," Matteo said"My father already picked her up at one pm and I'd rather be working. It keeps my mind busy," I said"Then go for a coffee run for a while and get some doughnuts too," Matteo said"We drink black coffee with no sugar," Alex said"Okay," I said and took the money Matteo was holding before leavingI went to
When I got there everyone was sitting down around the dinner table."What took you so long?" Alex asked"Who's Stephen?" I asked looking at dad"It was an old friend of mine why?" Dad asked"Because this came to my office today," I said and gave him the letterMy father isn't my real father. My real father was an abusive asshole until the day I turned 14 and killed him. Nick is now my father he took me and Alex and Gabi in and even married our mother. Dominic was his kid and was 10 at the time when he meet us.Nick is the reason we're good at our jobs and was the Spanish mafia don before me. When he was done reading it he said shit"What is it?" Gabi asked"Alex, Dom I need you to find five people for me," Dad said"Who?" They asked"Paul Ryan Darwin, Christopher Casper Darwin, and Dean Felix Darwin. Also, the woman Paul married and her little girl. Merry and Luna. The boys should be 27 and 26 and Paul would be 47 same age as your mother," he said"Ryan, Casper, Felix, Arora," I said
I got in early today and saw Lorain flirting with Dom"Hey," He said and throw his arm around me"Hey," I said"I was kind of thinking last night about all the stupid stuff we did when we were 7," he said"Oh, you mean our pranks or the always playing in the mud?" I asked"Both. I didn't even know it was you when we meet. You were my best friend and I didn't even recognize you," he said as we got in the elevator"Neither did I. We were both so young and we have changed a lot so I don't blame you for not recognizing me. I mean the last time we saw each other was when we said goodbye at the age of 9" I said"And years later you've grown more beautiful and have a daughter," he said"And you still dress like a complete dork," I said and he gasped"You're mean," he said and I smiled before saying, "Can't help telling the truth,"We got out of the elevator and walked into Matteo's office"Hey Luna," Matteo said"Arora, I haven't used that name in more than 12 years," I said and he smiled"S
Once we got home the police were waiting for us while Gillian had our daughter in his arms and Corey glaring at him"Ah love there you are," Gillian said as we jumped out of the car I could see Matteo send someone a text"Gillian put down my daughter," I said"Our daughter you took from me!" He yelled"Miss, we need you to come to the station with us. You took this child without him knowing it's called kidnapping," the officer said"It's called protecting her daughter!" Corey said"He abused her in front of their daughter. She came here to seek safety away from him," Matteo said"I never abused her in my life," Gillian saidMany cars stopped near us and Gillian started looking afraid as my brother and father got out with Nick and his sons as well as a few guards"Miss what they said is it true?" The female cop askedI was still looking at my daughter who was sleeping with her head on his shoulder"Baby come on we can be a family again forget about the past we can start a new life away
When Matteo left Rosy was sad but he gave her his necklace and said he'll be back for sureRosy and I started with dinner and as we were almost done in the kitchen dad and Corey came home"Hey guys," I said and put the plates of food in front of them"Are you and Matteo a thing?" Corey asked"Yes he's going to be my new daddy," Rosy said"What now?" Dad asked"Matteo and I aren't anything yet dad calm down. We're taking it slow and going on our first date tomorrow night," I said"Luna that guy is a player and a criminal," Coreg said"Mom's father said the same thing about dad you know," I said smiling"Luna," Dad said"I promise I'll be careful and not let myself fall for him," I said"Rosy do you want Matteo as your new daddy?" Felix asked coming into the kitchen"Yes he's better than my daddy," Rosy said"How so?" Dad asked"Well, he loves mommy and doesn't hurt her. He plays with me and he said if we move in with him he'll have a room for me that is purple and black with princesses
Walking up I got Rosy ready and then got ready myself. She wanted something to match so we both had black skirts, white shirts, and black leather jackets on with white sneakers"Mommy, can daddy match us?" She asked"Baby he has to wear a work suit maybe we can convince him to take us to the zoo in matching outfits on Saturday," I said"Yes," she said we went down and got breakfast in, and just when I was done finishing washing her and my hands the door bell rang."Morning boss," Felix said as he opened the door"Felix. Where's my girls?" I heard Matteo asked"Daddy!" Rosy yelled and ran to the door"Hey my little princess," Matteo said and picked her up before saying, "You look so beautiful,""Mommy matches us!" She said making me confused. I walked to the door after grabbing my phone.Once I saw him he had a white shirt, a black leather jacket, black jeans, and white sneakers on"And she looks as beautiful as you princess," Matteo said looking at me"I'm going and Matteo I'll kill y
We arrived at Rosy's school just in time and I saw my little princess come out. When we saw us her eyes lit up and I opened my arms for her."Daddy!" She yelled and ran straight into my arms"Hey my little princess," I said and kissed her head as I picked her up"Wow, you like daddy more than mommy now?" Arora asked standing next to me"You jealous?" I asked as I snuck my arm around her waist and quickly pulled her to us"Mommy you know I love you," my little princess said and kissed Arora's cheekShe looked at me and Rosy and smiled. I kissed her fast before I heard Mr. Henry speak"Mr. Rodriguez, are you here to pick up Liam?" Henry asked"Yeah, I am as well as my daughter. Where is he?" I asked"Uncle Matteo," Liam said and ran to us"Uncle?" Arora asked as Liam stood near us"Liam is 7 he is Alex's son. Liam I would like you to meet your cousin Rosy and your soon to be aunt Arora," Matteo said"Hey Rose," Liam said"Liam," Rosy said."You two already know each other?" I asked"Yes
