y/n's POV
~ the next day ~
~ Visconti Manor ~
"How dare you disrespect me, spoiled brat!" My stepmother shouted as she slapped me across the face.
I stumbled backwards onto the ground. I brought my hand up to my face and felt the sting on my cheek.
She pulled my hair and brought me closer to her.
"I thought I told you to never bring up magic or that wretched family again? You are never seeing them and they will never come find you. They never cared for you like that. You were never part of their family like you thought. So get that out of your useless head," she screamed at me.
"Mami, what is going on?" My step brother asked me as he made his way to the top of the stairs.
"Nothing. This brat was just disobeying the rules and disrespecting me again," she sighed as she shot me a glare.
"Get out of here," she said as she pushed me back towards the staircase.
I felt my rib cage vibrate against the banister of the stairs.
I bit my tongue and tried not to show I was in pain even though I was hurting everywhere.
My stepmother stormed off while my stepbrother rushed over to me with a damp towel.
"What'd you do this time?" He muttered. I scoffed and pushed him away.
"Like you care. Stop acting so bipolar (no offense to anyone who is bipolar). Behind closed doors you always do me favors but in front of everyone else you're really a jerk," I told him.
He frowned and sighed as I got up off of the ground.
"Don't be like that, y/n. Everyone is looking at me as the Visconti heir and we have a family reputation of being kinda mean," he explains.
I rolled my eyes at him. "As the heir you can change that. No one likes a bully, Ercole. That's why no one likes you and Ciccio and Guido stopped being your friend," I spat before running up to my bedroom.
As soon as I closed the door to my bedroom, I sighed and leaned my head against the door.
I closed my eyes and muttered, "gosh I can't wait until I get out of here."
"Oh my god, what happened to you? You're bleeding."
I spun around to see Giulia and Mirabel sitting in my room.
"Guys, what are you doing here?" I asked them both.
I was mostly talking about Mirabel since I knew that Giulia or Alberto usually comes to pick me up in the morning.
But since today is the first day Giulia and Luca are back from Genova, we usually go to the island to catch up on all of our adventures.
It was like an underdog tradition that we started after we found out Alberto and Luca lived there for a bit.
Me and Giulia had become curious. It ended up becoming our group hideout when we wanted to get away from Portorosso.
"Well I was on my way to come pick you up when I bumped into Mirabel. She and her cousin, Camilo, wanted to come with us to the island today since they have nothing else to do. So I let them come along," explained Giulia.
My eyes went wide at the news that Giulia allowed the Madrigal cousins to tag along.
Why would she just make that executive decision alone?
