Dirty Little Secret - Not Edited

Myla Mendez

"Come again?" I said, looking at the girl in front of me. She had green eyes - emerald green, brown hair a little lighter than mine, she was quite short, however I'm 5'7 so I'm relatively tall for a woman, and was wearing old raggy clothes.

"My moms Selena Venci, well Selena Mendez now..." I squeezed Enzo's hand and pulled my hand out moving a little closer to her. "Nice try. My mom couldn't have any children after me." She nodded and crossed her arms over her chest, brushing some hair away from her face.

"S-she had me before you." I furrowed my brows and crossed my arms over my chest. "Sky." My mom stood at the top of the stairs looking down, my dad behind her. "Mom?" Sky whispered, a faint cry in her tone. My mom walked down the stairs slowly, and stood in front of her. She took her face in her hands and tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

"Baby!" My mom sobbed wrapping her arms round Sky. My dad stood at the bottom of the stairs with his arms crossed over. "We'll be back." My dad said gesturing with his head to follow me. I followed my dad to the hall towards the office, Enzo following behind me.

"Sit down." My father said as I closed the door behind us. We both sat down facing his desk, he was still wearing his dressing gown and pj's, I don't know why I find my dad so sweet, he was a mafia boss - world known killer.

"Your mother and I never wanted to tell you this. It could have put you and Sky in danger, well more danger than she already is." My dad muttered the last part. I scooted forward in the chair waiting for him to continue. "Dad, what's happening?" I urged him.

"Before your mother and I met. Your mother had a brief relationship with Fabiano. He forced himself on her after she tried to escape him." Tears brimmed my eyes at the thought of anyone being so vile towards my mother. "She fell pregnant and he locked her in the house. Never letting her go." He ran a hand over his face and tapped the desk.

Enzo reached his hand out, out with the vision of my dad and took my hand holding it tight and giving me a reassuring squeeze. My heart fluttered at the gesture, I've never been so great-full to have him.

"Your mother had Sky months later and Fabiano was enraged because it was a girl." I clenched my teeth tight. "Fabiano kicked your mom out just after Sky was born and kept Sky for..." he stopped speaking and dropped his head shaking it.

"He told your mom he killed her." My hand shot to my mouth as tears ran down my cheek. "However, we found out after we went off the radar that she was alive, being forced to work in the human trafficking unit." I dropped Enzo's hand and stood up walking over to the window and looked out.

"And why am I only just hearing about this?" My dad rubbed the back of his neck and looked up at me as I spun round. "Like I said. It was dangerous for us all. Fabiano wont rest until he get's Sky back now. But she is your half sister Myla. We expect you to treat her accordingly."

I let out a scornful laugh shaking my head. I don't even know her! How can I possibly treat her well? How do we know that Fabiano hasn't sent her to us to get information!?

I rubbed my face and leaned on the desk. Enzo stood up and stood at the opposite end facing me while my dad stayed seated.

"I want to talk to her. Properly. I want her to tell me everything, and then I'll decide what will happen with her." I said firmly. I don't like being this way with my dad...but at the end of the day I'm the boss now.
