twenty-five.

present.

THEY ARRIVED AT a big house. Emily looked out of the window of the big car as they drove up to the long driveway. she had never seen a house this big.

"i-is this yours?" she asked Antonella. the woman nodded her head with a smile and Emily turned her attention to the house again. she peeked outside in awe.

is she going to live in this house?

the car stopped and the door of it opened. the bodyguard was revealed and they all unbuckled.

Thiago , Mateo and Ciro were out of the car first , following by Anto and Emily.

Emily took her phone and her small purse from her seat and exited the car , feeling the heat of the sun upon her once again.

being here feels strange and she wondered how she will be able to call this mansion her home.

Leo went and unlocked the door and put off all the security systems. the bodyguards took all of the lugagges inside of the house.

Emily felt Ciro put his hand in hers and he smiled widely when she looked down on him and smiled aswell.

they took a step into the house and Emily smiled at how beautiful and simple the house was. everything was spacious and beuaitful.

"wow this is amazing" she said and Antonella smiled. "thank you , i had it decorated" she said and walked into the living room.

the three children immediately ran towards the living room and jumped on the huge L-shaped couch.

"seems like they missed home" Leo said and Emily nodded her head as Thiago put on the television to play video games.

Emily saw a huge brown dog walk in and ran towards Leo. frightened , she squealed and moved out of the way.

"that's our dog , Hulk" Antonella said and Emily nodded her head in understanding. the dog sensed her and moved towards her , causing her eyes to widen.

she was always scared of dogs and the size of the dog didn't make it any better.

"don't worry , we got you" Anto said and Emily watched as the dog came near her and sniffed her before turning away and sit with Leo.

Emily let out a huge breath she didn't know she had. "see? he just wanted to sniff you" Anto said.

Emily went to sit on another couch , far away from the big brown dog. she has to get used to being in a house with a dog right around the corner.

Leo looked up at her. "you're not allergic , are you?" he asked her with a frown on his face. Emily shook her head.

"no , just not a big fan" she said as she stared at the dog. Leo patted the dog's head. "don't worry , Hulk is a big softie" he said.

Antonella took off her coat and walked into the living room. "come on , Emily. i want to show you your room" she said excitedly.

Emily nodded her head and took her purse. as she walked up the stairs , she realised how big the house is. there's enough space for three people to walk on one staircase.

they arrived at the top and Antonella took a left. she pointed to a door. "that's Mateo's room and next to him , is yours" she said as she opened a door.

the room was big , minimalistic and beautiful. Antonella looked at the girl with nervousness.  "do...do you like it?" the woman asked and Emily turned to face her.

"i love it , it's beautiful" she said with a smile. Antonella gave her a big smile. "i had it decorated for you" she said.

"thank you , Antonella." She said with sincerity. Antonella waved it off with a smile. "no need to thank me." She began.

"jut freshen up if you want and come meet us downstairs for dinner , okay?" She said and Emily nodded her head.

Anto went out and closed the door , leaving Emily alone in her room. she inspected everything and she saw she had a huge window that looked out onto the big backyard.

she had a huge closet too and Emily cringed at how empty the closet will look with her few clothes.

she went into the shower and washed her body from all the sweat. she put on some sweatpants and a hoodie.

she missed her mother right now as she brushed out her tangles. she took out a small photo of her and her mother at a carnival and put it on the mirror.

she stared at it and smiled and kissed the picture before walking downstairs and joining everyone for dinner.
