"Over my dead body will not just a woman, but a woman with no single drop of Sanchez blood in her veins rule my Mafia"

It kept singing on my head. Tears roll out more and more as i hugged myself tightly while seated on my bed. I can't believe dad would say that. Including mum. They both called me a stranger.

Me! A stranger. I am stranger to them. They fucking resent me that much.

The thought of everything is just giving me an ache in my heart.

I hear a knock on my door and it opened revealing Ace. He had a blank look on his face. No atom of emotions. I don't understand him at all. Ace I know would wrap me in his arms whenever he sees me crying. But no. He is just standing there looking at me without any single emotion.

I look away from him feeling my anger and pain raise the more.

"How was work?"

Seriously? That's his concern? What a heartless fellow. I seriously don't recognize him anymore.

"I asked you a question"

I move slightly on the bed. "Okay" all I said.

There was a little silence and i wonder if he is just staring at me or doesn't know what to say next.

Well he should just leave my room I need to be left alone.

"I know you heard all that"

I sniffle.

"Suck it in and focus on the main thing" he said coldly making me look at him.

"People will always say things. You are yet to hear the worst." He said emotionlessly.

So....argh.

"Trust me when I say more people will talk. But you have to try and put envious words on their mouth. Not mockery."

I sigh looking away.

"You continue your training tomorrow. I don't want you to be a minute late. Good night" he walk out of my room.

I lay properly on the bed as I cry silently on my pillow.

I don't understand this world that I am in. I am trying to understand my brother but anything I try, he gives me a hard time.

I think I should just do whatever he tells me to do. He is the only one that loves me here. He defended me before his parents. He does love me. But I don't know why he is being a monster towards me. Why is he making me do dangerous and illegal stuffs? Is there a reason for it?

I am so confused and scared shitless.

I love and respect my brother. He is my savior. Without him, I won't be existing. I just have to hold on to the love and respect I have for him.

Hopefully there is a good reason why he is doing all these.

It's also seven am in the morning and I am done running my usual morning race. I am a fucking breathless mess. Plus sweaty. I reach for my water bottle and gulp all down.

Sitting down on the bench, my entire body relax as if it was doing a whole lot of work. Well running around this huge mansion a hundred times is a whole work. I have gotten used to it though but my body hasn't. It's more like my brain is ready and used to it but my body is still getting adapting.

I bet in a month time i will be skinner than I am right now cause brother makes me eat salad and vegetables mostly. No more ice creams or my favourites, chocolate. No more waffles and eggs. Damn my life sucks right now.
