Part 2 of double update.
Dove/Ayla's POV
Age: 10
Location: Ricci's Mansion, New York
It's been about a week since we rescued Alessandro.
Ever since the morning after that night, both of my parents have been busy. As is the entire family.
I've barely seen any of them, besides the triplets, all week.
Dante says that they're having meetings with their underbosses and promises they'll be back soon. But he said that five days ago, and they're still not back yet.
I haven't left my room to see them anyway.
I'm scared that once Alessandro wakes up, everyone will blame me for his kidnapping.
"Okay, that's it." Ella grabs my arm and pulls me out of bed. "You've been wallowing in here for a week. You need to get out of this room."
"I'm not wallowing," I mumble. Ella rolls her eyes at me as she starts to drag me out of my room. I snatch my teddy bear from my bed before relenting to her.
She glances back at me and narrows her eyes. "You're very attached to that."
"It's nice to have something to hold."
"Have you named it?" She asks.
"Name? You're expected to name these?" I ask with a frown.
"Duh. And you choose its gender." She pauses and turns around. "Don't you think it's cruel to just call it an it all the time?"
"You're the only one calling it it here." I give her a pointed look.
"You just called it it right now!" Ella says.
"When?"
"When you said 'you're the only one calling it it.'"
I frown. "That's confusing."
"See that's what happens when you don't name your teddy bears."
I huff, realising that she's right.
Suddenly, I realise I had allowed Ella to drag me around the house while we argue about an inanimate object's nonexistent name.
Oh my God my brain has turned to slush.
"Why are we here?" I ask, gesturing to the movie room.
"I'm going to introduce you to the hotness of Sebastian Stan."
"Who?"
"Oh dear lord, Dove," Ella mutters. She leads me to the movie room and seats me on one of the couches.
After fumbling with the many buttons on the remote, she finally finds the right channel.
"Sit back, and enjoy."
Something tells me I won't enjoy this.
