The moment she walked into the meeting room, I knew this girl was going to be the death of me. She was exquisite. Beautiful, hot, smart, feisty. Never in a million years would I have thought that my insides would melt like that for a girl. They were not the regular butterflies you get after seeing your crush or lover. It was as if something erupted. Like I felt a spark. Agh... possibly just my mind trying to come up with reasons of why not to hate the poor girl.
When we got out of the car, she was nowhere to be seen. Through my window, I saw her head inside and disappear into the mansion that was almost twice as big as ours was. The light beige colour and the white trims with detail gave off an old mansion vibe. The white frame windows, through which you could see a thing because of white curtains covering them on the inside, nicely decorated the outside. The plants outside were nicely taken care of.
Our driver got our stuff and we began to walk in. There were seven of us here. My grandparents Valentino and Isa, my parents Francesco and Alessia and my two sisters and me. Audrey was four years younger than I was and was my right hand in any situation. Beatrice was my cousin by blood but after my aunt, Elisa died during childbirth, my parents adopted her.
We went inside and immediately noticed the dark interior. There were black marble floors around the halls and the interior had black and white colours. Including white marble columns, white trims and white décor pieces like vases and sculptures. I saw a woman by the grand staircase. She had dirty blond hair, which was put up in a bun, looked somewhere over forty and wore a tight black dress with black heels. I could notice the features of Celeste in her. The green eyes, the nose, and the hair colour. Almost identical. She began to walk towards us with a smile.
"Ciao, we're excited to have you-"
"Che cazzo ci fanno questi stronzi qui?" [What the fuck are these assholes doing here?] My eyes went up to see an old man and woman with two young men beside them. Judging from the looks, the younger ones were brothers of the beautiful girl and since I've previously met Vincenzo, I could immediately recognize him. Although I must say, he looked worse than he did almost a year ago.
"Buongiorno, Mr Rossi." I said, trying to sound as calm as I could.
"Ah... Liam Martinelli. Such a pleasure to meet the new ruler of this shit family." He said as he walked down the stairs. Blood boiled inside me from his words. As much as neither of our families were even close to innocent, we both protected them. And safe to say, no one insulted mine, especially in front of me.
"Mi scusi?" [I'm sorry?] I raised my brows. "Non mancare
di rispetto alla mia famiglia." [Do not disrespect my family].
"So you're the only one who can speak Italian?" he questioned with his brows raised. My gaze moved onto the two young men behind him. Both were over six feet two. Had dark hair, closer to brown, but still held similar features to Celeste.
