Il Mio Dolce Desiderio (My Sweet Desire)

Ilaria's POV

Dad was still on his business trip which annoyed me, and mum was usually out with her friends. So I decided to go to Tina's room and see what she was up to.
"Come in", she whispered.
"Hi, Tina how are you doing sis?"
She smiled. "I'm good dealing with my angel, how about you babe".
"I'm good too, she looks so adorable".

Carina was sleeping on her mother's chest and the view was too cute. Her little fingers were resting in front of her, her mouth a little open.

"Tina I'm going to Tonio's office, Bella's there too. You can come down later too sis, I'll see you later".
"Alright darling, I'll be there soon".

As soon as I made my way to the office, Tonio was sat on his chair reading some documents.

"Hi Antonio", he smiled.
"Hello princess, how are you?"
"I'm good, bored as usual". Bella came up and hugged me. "Hi babe", she said looking a little tired.
"Bella, you look tired, you okay sweetheart?". She smiled. "Yeah I am, didn't sleep a lot last night".

I looked around and saw Domenico coming in with some more folders, and helped Tonio with sorting the documents out. Leo and Alonzo were on their phones as usual.

After a few minutes, Domenico got his cigarettes out from his pocket and handed some to Tonio. "You wanna smoke bro?".
"Yeah I'll take one, we can rest a little now".

I looked annoyed at Tonio. "Tonio, are you still smoking, I told you to stop especially now that Carina is here, it'll be dangerous for her".
"Princess I'm trying but I don't smoke much as I used to".
"I know but still, try to fully leave it, it's better and healthier for you".

Domenico chuckled, "damn man, you sure are lucky, you got your carers looking after you, good for you man, good for you", he said tapping his shoulder and exhaled the smoke.

He doesn't look attractive, he doesn't look attractive, calm down Ila.

Out of nowhere, the door opened and in came Violetta. Not much has changed from her, to be honest, her blonde hair was the same, her brown eyes looked somewhat bored but planning on something and she has gone a little taller too. As soon as she realised me, she smiled.

"Oh my Ilaria, you're here? Hello babe, how are you?". Bella watched her annoyingly and rolled her eyes at her.

"I'm good Violetta how are you, long time no see".
"I'm good. Let me have a good look at you", she said making me stand up and told me to turn around and back to the front again.

"Hmmm, you seem fine. But I must say, you've gained a lot of weight, try to lose a few pounds alright darling?".
I tried not to let my anger get the best of me and held my tears back. I was a strong person I know, but when a conversation came up about my weight, insecurities and regrets will fill my mind.

Tonio's jaw clenched tight. "Violetta if I was you I'd shut up right now". She laughed.
"Wow okay I'm sorry sir. Such an overprotective ass", she whispered.

"Violetta", Domenico replied sternly, warning her to not cause drama. She rolled her eyes.

Bitch I will stab your ass-

"I was just here to have a little talk with Dom, privately", she replied flirtingly, then went over to kiss him on the cheek.

"Okay Principessa, let's go". Then they both left. So she has changed massively as Bella and Tina told me. I thought they were being overly dramatic but no, she turned out to be a real bitch.
