A long time ago there were 3 brothers, Rozario, Santiago and Valentino. Their last name is unknown but the fact that they were related is, well, even then this was kept a secret from the world.
All 3 brothers wanted the same thing: Power, wealth an...

Aria's pov:
"I don't even know you, I don't understand why I have to explain it to you."
I honestly didn't know him, and I couldn't pretend that I did.
"I guess." he sighed, his eyes seemed to be fighting to stay down and not look at me.
There was just something about that expression of his that stung in my insides. It was familiar. Not just familiar, but of someone I knew extremely well. No. That was impossible. It had to be. It had to be impossible.
That person was no longer alive. Yes. He wasn't alive. No matter how hard it hurt, having that hope would hurt even more, perhaps even shatter me.
Hope was a dangerous little thing, that through time had become a good enemy. It simply couldn't be trusted.
"Aria?" A hand gently touched my arm.
I looked up to see Aiden looking down at me, god he was tall. well I mean I guess anyone was tall for me. My 5'3 self wasn't exactly the tallest person there.
"You ok?" He asked
"Hm, oh yeah, im fine." I swallowed back everything I was thinking. I mean I was being stupid.
Chase didn't even look like Oliver. Perhaps his golden eyes were a slightly the same but Chase's were a darker golden then Oliver's, and here was where the similarities stopped.
Oliver had extremely light brown straight hair, Chase had darker hair but the ends were slightly curled up a little.
"Aria." Aiden's voice once more pulled me out of my thoughts.
"What. I mean yes?" god I needed to clear my mind.
"Will you come then?" he asked, looking at me hopefully.
"Come...where?" I had no idea what he was talking about.
I looked around at my surroundings and noticed that Aiden had guided me to the doors of the House Of Hearts, not gonna lie I had completely forgotten why I'd come here in the first place.
Oh well it probably wasn't that important anyways, considering I'd already forgotten about it.
"With me, I asked if you wanted to come live with me."
I looked back up at him, I stopped trying to remember what I had forgotten. he'd really caught me of guard. Live with him? I mean I wasn't against it. I hadn't see Aiden in 4 years, I had so many questions and I'm sure he had so many more. Aiden was like a brother to me.
"Will you?" He searched my face waiting for my answer, he seemed impatient.
"I'd love to-" I started
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. The contract. I couldn't go. I had to pretend to be Leo's girlfriend. I had to pretend I was in love with the sadistic bastard. Great.
I couldn't accept the offer.
"But I cant." I managed to pick my words back up.
"Why." he seemed a bit sad
"Ummm, i'm living here." I was trying to be vague.
Aiden didn't like me being vague. "Living here? What do you mean?"
Nosy little fucker.
I mean chase nor Leo had said I couldn't tell anyone that I was pretending to be his girlfriend, but then what was the point in that. If I just told everyone I'm a pretend girlfriend.
Well. I guess I'd have to act a little bit cringy. The money, I thought. I reminded myself of the money I was to receive. The only motive that made me want to do what i was about to do.
"I mean, I'm dating Leo." I honestly wanted to throw up.
"YOU? Chase mentioned Leo had girlfriend, but there is no way that you like that annoying prick is there?" It was like he blew up.
"Well, somethings happen, you know, love is love." I tried hard not to gag at what I had just said.
"No way. No way. I refuse to believe that you like him." He looked shook.
"I, uh do. I love him." I had to make him believe that I truly like Leo. I would tell him the truth eventually, but I couldn't do it now.
"He's not good for you, he wont treat you right." Aiden grabbed my shoulders forcing me to look him in the eyes. He really did have pretty blue eyes.
"And you can?" I joked, trying to lighten the mood.
"No." he whispered. "No, I know I could never truly treat you the best that you deserve to be, at least not now, but for you i'd try. For you i'd do anything. God fucking damnit. You have no idea of what I would do for you."
"Aiden?" What the hell was he saying.
"I'm not giving up. I'm going to make you see that I'm the one who can treat you better, not him." He looked down at me and smiled slightly.
"Wh-" What the fuck. I was frozen. I was ice.
He knelt down In front of me, took my hand and gently placed a kiss on it, all while looking at me straight in the eyes.
"See you around, Ria." he murmured.
Then he left. HE FUCKING LEFT.
What just happened. How on earth did Aiden Rousseau the quiet, gentle, boy I once knew from before turn into this completely different boy. Oh my god.
