Protecting Her

19

Domenico's POV

"What the hell is going on?!" Mister De Leon shouts as all 6 of his brothers crowded around his office.

Not only was it hard to figure out who was who since they all looked alike but the fact that all their names also began with the letter C just made it ten times harder to know which one you were talking to.

With what my Dolcezza explained to me before, her father was the youngest of all 7 of the De Leon siblings. Then Carson who I already had met who was the oldest, there was still 5 brothers in between who I had just met tonight. My dolcezza has told me all their names in order of oldest to youngest being Carson, Charles, Colin, Charlie, Connor, Christopher then her father Christian. I just didn't realize that although her father was the youngest, he was actually a twin and the twin was his older by a minute brother Christopher.

"We don't know, she was happily dancing with Andrew when all of a sudden she ran off the dance floor in tears" Christopher answers making his twin more angrier than he already was.

"Well what the hell was she crying for?! Who made my daughter cry?! Was it the Andrew boy?!" Cristian snaps as all his brothers suddenly turned to the man standing beside the doorway of his office.

"My son would never hurt your daughter in anyway Cristian, don't you dare give me that look! You know my boy has always loved your daughter more than anything" Alejandro spat back with a glare towards his daughters best friends father.

"Sometimes I question how much your son loves my daughter. What if he tried to force himself on her and we didn't notice?" Cristian questions him with another suspicious look.

"That wouldn't make any sense. He's literally the only one she let console her right now in her room. Even Kesaia was locked out of her room, it was just Andrew she let in" Carson noted as Cristian grunts before rubbing his forehead tiredly.

"This party was supposed to be about her being back as a welcome from us all, how the hell did it turn into a shit show so quick?" Cristina groans as I noticed the angry eyes on me beside him.

"I'm gonna go check on her right now, Domenico you mind accompanying me on the way there?" Carson says without letting me answer since he was already out the office now waiting for me.

As soon as the office doors closed, I was stunned by a hard punch being thrown against my jaw. I didn't even have time to register what happened before Carson had me thrown against the hallway wall with his hands fisted around the collar of my button up shirt.

"You have the balls to tell me to my face that you love my niece and yet you openly shove your tongue down the throat of my nephews whore?!" He hisses at me as my mind went back to what happened at the party earlier tonight.

"I didn't mean-" before I could explain myself, he threw another punch towards my gut making me groan.

"Cut the bullshit. You tell me why you made my niece cry right now before I go back into that office and tell my brother all about your little sex rendezvous with his daughter. At least with me, I'm nice enough to kill my victims quickly. My baby brother on the other hand likes to enjoy the slow torture and pain out of all the people that betray him. But seeing as you're personally sleeping around with his daughter behind his back and right under his nose, I'd say he'd do an even worse job than he normally does with guys that don't sleep with his precious daughter" Carson explains while pulling me back up against the wall after throwing a few more angry punches on both my face and body.

"It's not what it seems" I gasp out while spiting out the blood in my mouth.

"Then what the fuck does it seem to be Mister Romano?!" He snaps back as I tried to catch my breath after literally getting the wind knocked out of me.
