Love, Evangeline

10.

Hey everyone, haven't talked in a while so imma do it now. How's the book going? I know Luca isn't the guy Evangeline is marrying, but I felt like it was a good idea to rile up everything before I introduce the big man. I was kinda picturing Luca and Evangeline's relationship like Damon and Elena's, but without the whole actual relationship part and just the teasing stuff.

Anyway, hope y'all understand that lmao. Again, I hope y'all are enjoying the book so far!!

    Please, comment, like, and vote!!💗💗.

Finishing up straightening my hair, I touched up the little makeup I was wearing before making my way downstairs. The smell of eggs, bacon, and pancakes made its way up to me. I smiled as I walked towards the kitchen. It was roughly 7 a.m, I had a good feeling about today, even though last nights events didn't bring peace I knew should've been there. Right as I walked into the kitchen, my smile faded away. Luca sat at the table with a book in his hand, the cover was dark with gleams of red on it.

Grabbing a plate off the counter, I began dishing food onto it. " You'd know better than to come in here," Luca suddenly said. I continued as I was, ignoring Luca. I knew that whatever I said would only provoke and edge him on. The sound of a chair scooting back filled the kitchen. I clenched my jaw as I set the spatula down before turning to the bacon. Luca instantly grabbed the prongs off the counter right as I reached for them. I inhaled deeply as Luca stepped closer to me. " Your brothers are something, aren't they?" Luca asked. I looked at him, Luca stared at me as if I was something he'd never seen before. " I'm not going to hurt you Evangeline, if that's what you and everyone else here thinks," Luca assured calmly.

I bit the inside of my bottom lip as Luca handed me the prongs, remaining where he was. Taking the o o he, I placed three pieces of bacon on my plate. " Are all your brothers like that?" Luca asked folding his arms. " Diego is only trying to protect me," I said defensively. Luca smirked and asked teasingly, " from what, me?" I stared at him, " after last night, yeah." Luca chuckled, " you've got nothing to worry about." Grabbing my plate, I turned and walked towards the table right as all of my brothers entered the kitchen. Dante glared at Luca, who now had his back facing the sink and his arms folded.

" You got a reason to be in here?" Diego asked. Luca looked at him, " this is my house, if you forgot." Dante scoffed, " we don't give a fuck if this is your house." Luca stood up and looked at Dante,  " are we going to have a problem?" " If you don't back down, we might," Dante sternly threatened as he turned and faced Luca. Luca walked up to Dante, he straightened his posture. I instantly stood up and walked up beside Dante. " Can we just eat breakfast, please?" I asked. Luca smiled, " what the hell is so funny?" Dante asked sternly, taking a step forward. Luca eyed me before looking back at Dante and saying, " you heard her."

Right as Dante opened his mouth, my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Berlusconi, and their daughters walked into the kitchen. Dante glared at Luca before turning and sitting down at the table. " Good morning everyone," Mrs. Berlusconi said as she entered the kitchen. " Everyone fill up their plates and then we'll head down to the dinning hall," Mrs. Berlusconi instructed. Luca eyed me before turning and leaving the kitchen. Mrs. Berlusconi watched Luca leave before walking up to me. " Is my son treating you okay?" I scoffed softly, " you can tell me anything Evangeline," Mrs. Berlusconi assured me. " He's fine," I simply said. Mrs. Berlusconi chuckled, " you're new here, meaning my sons will do anything to annoy and bother you."

I smiled, " I have five brothers, I've had plenty of years of being annoyed." Mrs. Berlusconi grinned, " yes you definitely have." Grabbing my plate, I joined everyone else out and into the dinning hall. Luca and his brothers sat near the end, while my brothers left about three seats open and away from them. " I have decided on what we are doing today," Mrs. Berlusconi announced. " Evangeline, you and my daughters will go out to town today," Mrs. Berlusconi informed. Dante Instantly looked at me, I sent him a reassuring smile not to start a fight. " Since you'll be living here for a while, I think it's a good idea for you to get used to the area," Mrs. Berlusconi said. " You'll have guards go with them, of course." Dante sighed before rubbing the bridge of his nose. " Take care of Evangeline girls," Mrs. Berlusconi ordered. Mya and the others looked at me, " we will," Mya said.
