"NO OUR MOTHER DIED !! SHE WENT AWAY AND NEVER RETURNED. NOW LEAVE US BE ROSaLINA OR ELSE US DE SANTIS WON'T CONTINUE BUSINESS WITH YOUR PATHETIC CANELO'S"
" Marcello, that's no way to speak in front of your sibling Luna and Alec. Now you and Nik are both coming to Sunday dinner with us."
"Over my dead body we will. Also the only sibling I have is Nikola. "
"It's true. Marcello is my only sibling and I'm a De Santis lady so I make Sunday dinner. Also my mother died when I was 4."
"No I'm right here baby. I'm alive and these are your siblings. "
"Sorry but Cello and I need to go now. It was nice speaking to you Rosalina."
"A pleasure as always Rosalina."
Marcello grabs my hand and we walk away quickly before anything else could be said but we weren't prepared for what our father was going to do that very night during Sunday dinner.
"Marcello. Hey, look at me please."
He looks up at me with a frown set upon his face. I knew this was a battle within himself that he still needed to admit defeat with but sometimes it feels like I am only drowning him more. It hurts me so much to see him slowly becoming what my grandfather and I fear he would be. A monster that has ice in his veins and a heart made of stone.
"I'm sorry NiKola. I've failed you as a brother and protector."
"No you haven't. You're doing as you're told and there is nothing wrong with keeping yourself and the ones you love safe."
We came to a brief stop in front of my brother's black jeep after the confrontation with Rosalina and the talk I had given him . Just as we turned towards each other to talk about what we should tell our father, his phone began to ring. It was not unusual for it to be ringing but I knew he still held a lot of anger currently from what just happened.
"I have to take this Nik. You know how he gets."
"I know Cello. You are not the only one that faces punishment. "
He sighs. The thing I fear is when he realizes that the punishments he receives are minor compared to the ones that have remained on my skin. It's come so close to me wanting to shout and bang on his chest but he already has the weight of the De Santis legacy and kingdom upon his shoulder.
Once the call ended , I knew it was not something he wished to discuss with me. Shaking my head in response I just sigh motioned for him to go.
"Go. It's alright Marcello."
"I'll face punishment from our father. I am not leaving you after what just happened."
"Marcello I am not helpless. Carlos and Sammy's Grocery is right around the corner from our church."
