As soon as I woke up, I was back at the old home and heard Dave my stepbrother running towards me with a knife.
As soon as I saw him I quickly started running as well but was caught by Him, he grabbed me by my hair and pulled me back with extreme force.
"Ariel you embarrassed me in front of my friends now you will face the consequences " Dave said to me.
He released my hair and I fell on the floor and started backing away from him. He then approached me and grabbed me by my neck and started dragging the knife from my neck till my collarbone.
I begged him to stop, I kept on screaming for him to stop but he didn't listen he just kept on kicking me, slapping me and what not. "ARIEL" someone shouted I couldn't make out who but then my body jerked forward and I woke up from the horrendous dream or a memory.
I couldn't process what just happened I felt a hand on my back stroking me gently.
Surprisingly the back stroking made me calm and I slept in a matter of few minutes.
I heard whispering which woke me up and I sat on the bed rubbing my eyes and saw my two brothers Matteo and Antonio bickering.
As they noticed that I woke up they quickly stopped their bickering and told me that breakfast was ready.
I mumbled a okay and they both went out of the room.
As they left I went into the bathroom and did my morning routine and then changed into some decent clothing and went to the dining room.
When i went into dinning room I heard someone say "why is she here? She is just a gold digger dad" as soon as he completed this sentence I went inside the room and everyone went quiet. I slowly walked with my head down sat between Mr.Romano and Mrs. Romano.
As soon as I sat, Allesandro angrily got up and left the dining room, this made it clear that nobody wants me here and I should not brake their family apart so i quietly but firmly said "Mr.Romano you can send me back i don't want to cause any more troubles"
Mrs. Romano looked at me and hugged me tightly and whispered "my love you are too part of this family you are not going back to that filthy place ever again do you understand?" I just nodded on her shoulder and hugged her back.
In her arms I felt safe and protected, her motherly hug made me feel loved again and I started crying while hugging her.
the way her hug made me feel was the feeling I was longing for a very long time, I cannot ruin it by letting them know about my past. I don't want them to be disgusted by me.
With all these thoughts roaming inside my head I could hear Mrs. Romano calling for me. So, I pullled myself out of these thoughts and focused on what she was saying "my darling come on eat something understood?" Mrs Romano said.
"Yes ma'am" I replied with a small smile.
