Now...
"Would you like some champagne?" a butler asks me, a welcoming smile playing on his lip.
"Thank you" I say as he gives me one and I'm eager to drink. More to get drunk if I'm honest. I look at the small room that Mateo, my older brother, and Emily, my sister-in-law, have rented for this special event; yes, somehow, by some miracle, my brother got married to a lovely wife AND he's about to become dad. Never thought that that fucking bastard had it in him.
The relationship between those two hasn't been easy...here is a quick list: Emily got sold by her uncle, then got married with my brother, after that they got into a huge fight that finally leaded by Mateo confessing his love for her but of course nothing goes this easily because Emily got kidnapped while she was pregnant by an crazy guy named Ben...Although luckily it ended well and now, after 3 since she got out of the hospital, they're going to announce the gender of the little future El Ricci.
I'm kind of excited if I'm honest; I don't know why but the thought of caring a child that you made with the one you love sounds like a fairytale. Never guessed me for a romantic type, huh?
"Olivia" I hear a familiar voice call out and when I turn, I see my youngest brother Liam and with young I mean 15 to my 27; yeah, let us say my dad hasn't been really honest with mom... Holding my arms out, I indicate for a hug which he gives me of course and even on my heels he towers over me.
"You're getting broader" I say when I feel his arms wrapped around me.
"I need to be when I want to win the cup this year" my little brother plays basketball at the high school he's in and I need to say: they're pretty good. We release each other, a smug grin playing on his lips.
I and Liam used to be very close together. His mom leaves for Europe every now and then, okay I'm lying. She's barely home which annoys the crap out of me; which mom leaves her son all alone? But anyhow, our relationship kind of faded since I'm busy with the family business, helping Mateo so he can spend more time with his true love.
"Hey" a young female voice says and I look behind Liam to find Lucy, Mateo and Emily's adopted daughter, standing there, a little awkward.
"Hey!" I go to her, give her the same hug I gave Liam just now and feel the tension leaving her body. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing great, excited for the gender" she replies happily. Lucy is so adorable with her orange hair, freckles on her cute nose and beautiful green eyes that pierces through you...She looks so cute and I wonder how she would look if she gets older. Now she's 14, almost the same age as Liam and I think those two will make a great couple...but of course they're still teenagers so love is a word they want to avoid at any cost.
"Hey, honey" I feel someone hug me from behind and I smell the alcohol on his breath; fuck! He's been drinking again.
"Hey Roberto" I reply shyly, scared he might get mad because if he's drunk, you don't want to mess with him. Oh, right, who is Roberto? Well, he's my fiancé...the man my parents choose for me and the man I hate but I don't really have a choice. He's a drug lord here in New York City and we're his biggest client which means if I marry him, our family will be sure that he only sells to us and not to our enemies.
"You look amazing, Honey" he scans me from top to toe and I feel shivers down my spine but not the good kind.
"Thanks" I reply and my lower belly tightens because someone that I want to forget enters the room...Sebastian. It's so weird I can feel his present without even seeing him and when I turn, yep, he's here but not alone. "Who is she?" I ask no one in particular when I stare at the gorgeous woman standing next to him, her arm interlinked with his and for some reason I hate her already. Get over yourself, Olivia; you and he are in the past, focus on the now.
