Andrew pov

We reach the front doors of the Ferrari mansion and stand there for a few minutes, before Adrien raises a fist and knocks.

We both stand there in silence, hearing odd thuds and mumbles coming from the other side of the door.

We exchange a look before keeping our faces blank and staring at the front doors.

Adrien knocks again.

Do they answer the door?

Adrien sighs. "Oh you know what, fuck it." he says.

He slams the front doors open and walks in as if he owns the place, which I guess he kind of does.

I follow behind him, unsure of what to do.

I look around the foyer. The floors are shiny white tiles surrounded by light grey walls. The walls are covered with family photos and art.

I get a whiff of brownies and I inhale deeper.

Brownies and I have a special connection. I understand them, and they understand me.

Ivan has given me one once a year for my birthday every year since I've known him. Adrianna was obsessed with berries, so he used to give us each a slice of brownie with berries in the side for our birthday dessert and it was our favourite meal.

A soft smile comes into my face thinking about the memory, but then I wipe it away remembering she's still at the facility. And Adonis will have everyone move facilities again soon.

I wonder if she's okay. Does Adonis or anyone else know she helped us escape? How badly will she be punished?

I get snapped out of my thoughts from a pair of powerful footsteps approaching us. I stand next to Adrien and stare ahead, careful not to give anything away.

I mustn't show emotions. I doubt anyone will be happy when they see me. I was the one who took the triplets away for two years, and only one has returned.

From the corner of my eye, I see an older man wearing a suit enter the foyer. Dad.

Once he sees us he freezes.

"I-. Adrien e Andrew sono davvero nell'atrio di casa mia in questo momento, o sto vedendo di nuovo le cose...I miei ragazzi." He says, unable to process anything.
(I-. Is Adrien and Andrew actually standing in the foyer of my house right now, or am I seeing things again...My boys.)

Adrien smiles at him. "Hi dad."

I stand frozen shocked in my spot. He's not angry that I'm here? He's happy for Adrien and I? Why? I took his children away from him  I betrayed him.

I stand there frowning, confused as fuck.

"Ma sei veramente tu! Oh vieni qui! Mi sei mancata tanto e Adrianna dov'è? In attesa di fare un ingresso drammatico suppongo." Dad says, approaching and hugging both of us. I stand there not knowing what to do.
(It is really you! Oh come here! I missed you so much and where is Adrianna? Waiting to make a dramatic entrance I assume.)
