Mafia Princess

Chapter 9

It's been a week since my arrival in New York to my new family.

Leonardo has been mostly busy with his work, giving less time to me. Not that I mind. He comes home late and highly tired. Though I want to spend time with him to know him, I can't just go and complain like that. He is working hard for his company and at the same time the Mafia. The only time I have talked to him was during dinner every day. That should me more than enough.

Lorenzo and Luca are the ones spending most of the time with me. I am not a big fan of Hollywood. I have always listened to Hindi songs and watched Hindi movies. Obviously there are some exceptions but I have missed many classic and fun movies. Luca's words not mine.

So they have taken upon themselves to make me watch all time classic movies this week and they are planning horror movies for the next. Not that I mind.  

Being doctors sometimes lead them to leave at odd hours. Still they try to make me feel as comfortable as possible. 

Dante and Mateo had made no move whatsoever to talk to me. I am trying to give them as much time as possible but I guess a weak should be enough to think this through. So I have decided to confront them later today.

Mario and I, on the other, have made few short conversations. He wants me to know that he is ok with me, no hard feelings but also needs time to be comfortable with me. I guess that's progress.  

Dad was or I should say is as busy as Leo. He is rarely home. I would go to his room at night. We would talk a little and then go back to sleep.

I have a lot of free time in between all this. Amera is trying to avoid me as much as possible infront of others but passes bitchy comments while passing my room or me. I try my best not to react to them. It takes a lot of patience and hard breathing for that.

You see I have temper issues. I will be as sweet as sugar till the time you are in my good books. But as soon as you cross a certain limit which is rare, you will see me in my worst personality.

Once when I saw a senior bullying a junior in our school, I was so mad that I pushed her head inside the same toilet seat where she was trying to put the junior's, that too with such force that she had plaster in her neck for a month.

Luckily I got away with the kids statement and some lies.

What? Don't judge me. I was trying to help!

Myself!!! :)

Anyways, back to Amera. She is trying to get on my nerves. If she keep herself going on like this, I am sure to lash out at her at the very moment.

This is the reason I have my mornings and afternoons free. I dance and write. I am trying to take few online courses in business till the time I join college.

No one here knows about me being a dancer on a platform like you tube.

Right now I am standing infront of Mateo's room to talk to him.

I knocked on the door and waited for him to open if. The door opened to reveal two of my very very sweet brothers - Mateo and Dante. While the one to open he door was Dante, Mateo was peacefully sitting on the bed. 

When they saw who was at the door, their posture straightened and became rigid. Their face blank and cold. 

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Mateo asked.

"Language brother! Don't want your sister to hear and use these words right? Now I came here to talk to you. Well seems like I will have to talk to you two together." 

"Like hell we want to. I thought us ignoring you should have given you the message that we want nothing to do with a gold digger like you." Dante said.

"W...Who the hell are you to speak o me like that. You don't even know me enough to say that."

"Oh yah? Listen here you little piece of shit you could have fooled our parents and brothers but we know you. People like you live for money, hell even murder for money. You are not my sister. I don't care how many fake proofs you have. We Don't Care. I will make sure to throw you out as soon as possible. I will bring your real identity infront of everyone. You are a bloody bitch who is here to destroy us. But remember one thing that we won't let that happen. We know the real you. I warn you to drop this little sweet act of yours. I will make your life a living hell. Just go back to where you came from you sick excuse of a person. Leave Us. And yah Amera showed me the CCTV picture of you in our father's office going through his documents. If you are here for family as you claim then explain it." Mateo's words left me stunned.

No one has ever talked to me like that, let alone my own family.

"Get The Fuck Out whore. And before you question the video, we checked it ourselves. It's real unlike you. Stop with this act." Dante growled.

"Awww. Looks like the princess is about to cry. What's this Dante? You made her cry." Came Mateo's more than necessary sweet voice.

Before any of them could say anything I ran out of the room. Closing the door of my room, I sat down on the bed. Evening my breath I made a decision. I will leave today at night while others would be asleep.

You won Amera. Turning my brothers against me. 

Yes the video was real but they never let me speak the reason behind it. They never let me explain. 

I have my own self-respect. Yes, I have grown close to others but I can't stay in a place where four out of nine people hate me. 

Though Emily has not done anything but she has refused to speak to me no matter how much I try to. Without passing any mean comments she made it clear that she does not want anything to do with me. 

So if my brothers want me to go, I will comply.

Today is my last day here. 

I think I should live it. With the ones that care.

I made my way to Mario's room because he was the only brother out of the other four at home. As soon as I reached the door I heard hushed voices. I was not one to snoop around but I couldn't help myself.

"Mario she is a bitch. You yourself saw it right. We should expose her and throw her out of the house."

"Why can't we show them this video?"

"We need more solid proof Mario. She has others under her spell. They won't be affected just by this."

"That bitch."

I recognized the voices of Dante and Mario. So now I have five people against me. Great. Just what I needed.

Gulping the lump formed in my throat I went to make two important calls.

My visa was valid for six months. So it won't be a problem to make a return journey where there are people for me. Who love me and know me.

"Hello! Lakshay? Can you do me a favor? Book me a ticket to India from New York and don't tell anyone. I want it to be a surprise."

"Hey Rosa! Sure why not but what about the business program you went for?"

"I will tell you when I will meet you. For now just do what I asked you to do. Please Laks!"

"No need to say please Rosa. You are like my sister, no you are my sister. Anything for you."

"Thanks Laks! I owe you. Bye!"

"Bye and see you soon." 

Cutting the call I dialed another number.

"Hello Luca! Pick up Leo and Enzo(Lorenzo) and then come back home to pick me. We are going shopping."
