Liliana's POV
We drove for around 45 minutes and I was amazed by what I saw. All the tall buildings and packed streets. I just looked outside, taking in my surroundings the whole drive. When we finally came to a stop I looked outside and my jaw dropped. Outside the car was a mansion. It was gigantic and beautiful.
We stepped out of the car and my jaw was still touching the floor with how beautiful this house was. Gio must have noticed because he let out a little chuckle. Walking over to the front door he opened it and the inside looked even better than the outside. We took off our shoes and Gio led me inside the house.
"You can go upstairs and unpack your stuff while we wait for dinner. I'm sure Ales will want to talk to you at dinner." He says bringing me upstairs to a hallway. The hallway had a bunch of doors and when we reached the end of the hallway he opened the door and I was met with a beautiful room. The room was quite plain with just a bed, night tables, a desk and a dresser. It was gigantic just like the rest of this house.
"This is your room. It's really plain right now, tomorrow we'll go shopping for school supplies, clothes and room decorations." He says as he smiles at me and walks away.
"Dinner is at 7pm. Somebody will come get you and maybe give you a tour of the house after." He says turning around to look at me from the door.
"It's great to have you back, Sorellina." He says happily before exiting my room. I walk over to one of the doors in my bedroom to find out it's a closet. A massive closet at that. Deciding that I would unpack my clothes first, I got my suitcase and started unpacking. It didn't take me long seeing as I only had a few pieces of clothing. It would be really nice to get new clothes. I then walk over to the desk and put all the books that I have on the desk. I really want to have a little reading corner in the room. I hope my brothers let me.

Finally after I unpacked all my things, I laid down on my new bed with a book. 'It's so comfortable' I thought to myself as I opened my page and started reading. I read a few chapters of my book before I heard the door open and a bunch of voices. I look at the clock on the side of my bed to see it is 4:00. The voices got louder and louder, the sound of conversation followed by footsteps coming closer and closer to my room. I was scared thinking that they would come to my room. But they didn't, they went into another room. I sighed in relief before continuing to read for hours, lost in my own world.
Reading and music were my escape from reality. When I was reading I pretended to be the character in the book. With a perfect life. When I'm singing or listening to music it's like all my problems go away. The same with reading I enter my own world. No interruptions.
I was taken out of my world when I heard faint voices.
"Earth to Liliana!"
"Hello?"
"Liliana!!" Gio said, finally taking me out of my world. I lifted my head from behind my book and looked at him.
"Finally. I thought you would never listen to me." He says.
"Dinner is ready. I just came to get you." He smiles. We both stand up and Gio leads me downstairs. The farther we went, the more voices I heard. When we finally reached the bottom Gio stopped walking. He looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile before we stepped into the dinning room. All the voices stopped when we entered the room. They all looked at me, most in surprise, others in question of who I am.
"Guys, I have to tell you something important" The man at the head of the table said. Me and Gio continued walking over to the table till we got to the last spot at the table. Gio took the spot next to the man who spoke. Leaving me to sit between two of what I assumed were my brothers. The boys all looked at the man, then me. The next thing I heard was a course of words.
