"Hello? Enzo?" I call out, hearing my voice echo throughout the enormous mansion.
"Chi sta chiedendo?" I hear a deep voice gruff out.
I follow the sound until I reach a living room, decked out with furniture you could only describe as threatening excellence.
There's a tall man a few feet in front of me, his back facing me as his shoulders move making what I assume to be a drink at a classy bar built in on the side of the large room.
"Uh, I'm- Jade." He turns and I look at his face. He resembles me almost entirely, besides the scruffy beard.
"Giada, chi?" He asks, I have no clue what he's saying. "Ascolta, tesoro, se sei venuto per unirti alla famiglia, sfortuna. Abbiamo abbastanza stronzi per andare in giro." He still hasn't looked at me, almost as if he's talking to a wall.
"I- uh, don't speak Italian."
He sighs, "oh, beh allora che diavolo-" I blink, he clears his throat. "What the hell did you come here for then?"
"That's honestly a good question." I chuckle, he stays silent.
"Then what the fuck do you want, this isn't an open house-" he suddenly turns to look at me and drops his glass, shattering it along the floor. his mouth drops open as he looks me over, eyes wide. "What the fuck..."
"I'm uh- Bowie's daughter." He blinks.
"Massimo?" I cautiously nod. He rubs a hand over his face, "Mamma Maria, perdonami." He mumbles. he sits down on the large black couch sitting on-top of a red fluffy carpet in the middle of the room.
He suddenly pats next to him on the couch and I slowly sit down, putting a distance between us.
Up close I can tell he has some wrinkles under his eyes and in between forehead, but he looks pretty young considering being at least in his late 50's.
"You look like him." A sad smile grows on his face.
"And you." I add, making him smile more.
"Come here, piccola." He suddenly pulls my wrists to him, enclosing me into a hug. I let out a 'oof!' and hesitantly wrap my arms around him. He smells like cigarettes and money, somehow.
"Enzo, I think I-"
"Please! Call me nonno, bella." He lets go of me and gently pats my cheek, a warm and fuzzy smile on his face.
"Alright, nonno," I raise my eyebrows, "I think I did come here for something." His smile fades and turns into a serious expression again.
"Tell me. You're family, after all."

I wonder what Julian's doing right now, how he's feeling, how much he hates me.
