• Leonardo Marino's POV•

"Can I please come live with you Leo mum and dad are insane I can't stand it any longer." My sister wines into the phone.

I cant deal with this shit this early in the morning.

"Yeah whatever, there's always room here for you, I'll send a car down for you right now." I reply to her we share a few more details before I hang up the phone.

I have to admit I have horrible parents, not stupid ones but they are just selfish as fuck. My sister was always in the background obviously it was because I'm heir but none of it was ever fair.

My father never let her out of his sight and most of the time I thought he hated her he would yell at her for small things such as using the smaller fork with her main course foods.

He would never let her live with me either as much as she had asked.. all Maria wanted was to get away from him.

My mother was no better she would listen to my dad and agree to anything he would say really she didn't have much personality she just lived day to day following my Father like a lost puppy.

And that shit really would piss me off, but I don't even give a fuck anymore I'm Don now and I have bigger problems to stress about.

Now that my sister Maria Is 18 father is more likely to let her leave but knowing how sneaky she is, she ain't even gonna ask him she's just gonna go.

He isn't the capo any more anyways I am so I'm in charge and got everything.

I hate my Father anyways he was so harsh on me when I was a child. I remember getting taught how to use a gun at the age of ten, while other kids my age would be learning how to ride a bike without training wheels.

Other children would play with there new toys on their birthdays and celebrating with their family's such a happy day. And my Father would be as drunk as a stunk  celebrating one year closer to retirement. I took over the mafia seven years ago when I was 21. I knew what to expect but I was not prepared for the responsibility that came along with the role.

"Oh my gosh your house is amazing Leo!" My sister squeals as she pushes her pink sunglasses on top of her head before she practically jumps on me.

I frown, seriously?

I pat her back then drop her to the floor, "It's so nice to see you Maria." I mention.

"So where will I be sleeping?" She asks.

"I'll get one of the maids to take you up."I reply already knowing I'll get Arabella to do it I'd like them to become friends I mean my sister needs a friend anyways.

And it will help to get Arabella closer to me of course.

Arabella's POV•

"Yes of course sir I'll take your sister up to her room." I nod to Don surprised I didn't stutter at all, maybe it's cause I'm not nervous right now.

I mean maybe it's because she is there..

He had just asked me to take his sister to her new bedroom I didn't even know he had a sister!

I can feel her eyes on me as we walk down the hall, I don't exactly know what to say to her.

The Don had told me to place her in a room as far away from him, sounds bizarre because that is his sister and he wants to be so far away? I didn't question it though.

"I'm Maria it's lovely to meet you." She chirps in sticking her hand out from behind her back for me to shake. I take it gracefully.

"It's lovely to meet you to ms, I'm Arabella." I respond.
