Stellina is a young girl who was selfishly taken away from her family by her mother. Come on Stella's journey as she gets some bad new causing a change to occur in her life, the question is will this change break Stella or will her family help her o...
I couldn't help but feel hurt when she pulled her hand away from me, but I couldn't show it to her, I don't want her to be hurt. I know she needs her time, and I am just a stranger to her. She's fallen asleep whilst we are driving to the private jet. I still can't believe that she's alive. None of the boys know that we're bringing her home. It was a lovely surprise that dad had planned. However, I feel like that wasn't a good idea, Santonio is going to be pissed off that he didn't let him know. It his twin.
"Dad, don't you think that you should have at least told Santonio that she is alive?" I question, preparing for his answer.
He just sits there for a minute, his hands tightening around the wheel. "Listen son, I want to surprise him, he's been so different recently. I think he will be happy to have his twin back. It will do all the boys good" I nod my head deciding not to say anything else.
I know this is going to get some mixed reactions, but me and Alessandro will be there to help him deal with it. I look over to my Neonata and see she is still sound asleep. I take this as my time to study her before she wakes up. She's got the same freckle above her eyebrow that all of us seem to have inherited. She's got the same little birthmark on her jaw that Santonio has. Looking at her now, I can see how much her and Santonio look alike. She even tenses her jaw like Alessandro when she sleeps. Looking at her face, I see a scar right above her eyebrow like it was strategically placed. Just as I finish observing her, her eyes shoot open, and she looks at me startled. She flinches back causing me to start questioning her. Instead of making her more uncomfortable, I pull out my phone and start replying to the many messages off Alessandro.
*STELLINA'S POV*
I began looking out of the window as Adriano was on his phone. I was a bit spooked when I woke up to find him staring at me. Choosing to ignore it for the minute, I look out of the window and see we are coming to a stop. Confused, I turn round and look at Adriano to find him looking at me once again. I look into his eyes to find they revealed admiration, confused once again I looked through the window and see we are parked in front of a plane. I stare at the plane admiring it, I've never seen one before and it is massive. Is this theirs? How did they afford this?
I'm brought out of my thoughts when the door next to me is suddenly opened. Looking up I find Ricardo stood in front of me holding his hand out. Shyly I take it and put my head down realising how interesting my scuffed-up vans have become. Ricardo leads me towards the plane, and I suddenly get nervous releasing his hand and pressing my nails into my palms. I quickly look up at him and see a shimmer of hurt in his eyes, but just as quick as it is there it is gone. Putting my head down once again I dig my nails deepen into my palms causing a little bit of blood to dribble down. Ignoring it I start to realise it is becoming harder to breathe. Pushing it aside for one moment I start to climb the stairs to the plane. Once on board I look around in awe. This plane is amazing, there is tv's, a sofa, a mini fridge and all sorts. This is my first time on a plane and I am very nervous.

*RICARDO'S POV*
I look at my daughter and realise how petrified she is. Without thinking, I walk over to him grabbing her hand in mine. She flinches at the contact of our hands together but instantly relaxes due to how nervous she is. This must be her first time flying. She turns around and looks at me a look of gratitude washes over her face. As she looks around in awe still, I drag her over to the sofa, she takes this as a cue to sit down. I leave her to buckle her belt herself whilst I do mine and Adriano does his. After buckling mine, I look over at her and see she is struggling. I lean over and do it for her. She lifts her head slowly, looks at me and says, "Thank you." With a red tint taking over her face.

Finally, after a long two hours the plane had landed, and I finally released Ricardo's hand blushing slightly. Stepping off the plane, I hold onto the railing as I walk down the stairs. Once, we reach the bottom Ricardo walks ahead and opens the door for me, I keep my head down and slide into my seat, fastening my seatbelt. He looks down and smiles at me closing the door. I look out of the window once again and realise that we are approaching a mansion surrounded by black gates. I am stunned by how big it is and wonder what their house looks like it.

I am shocked as we pull in front of the gate as Ricardo states his name and the code to the guard, I am very confused.
Adriano leans towards me and whispers "Close your mouth sweetheart, this is your new home." I feel my cheeks begin to warm up and look down ignoring his laughter.
We pull into the driveway and once again, the door next to me is opened, allowing me to get out. I feel anxious walking up to the door behind them. Well apparently, they just decided to get it over with and opened the door. Like a lost puppy I follow their lead and walk right behind Adriano to avoid being seen by my brothers. I sneak my head out a bit and find 8 boys stood there facing Ricardo and Adriano. As quick as I peeked round, I put my head back. That is a lot of boys.
