I woke up from my eleven-hour sleep somehow still exhausted.

It's been a week since I found out about my daughter's double life and I still haven't confronted the people who've betrayed me. I do plan on doing it today though, just to get it out of the way. It's been draining me since I found out and I can't go on without hearing their reasoning.

That doesn't mean I'm talking to Angelo or Matteo though. No, I refuse to talk to them. Lori and I have this mutual understanding that we won't go near them until we're ready. We didn't discuss it, it's just a cousin thing.

I'm mad at Angelo for obvious reasons and I won't talk to Matteo because he was a dick to Lori for over eighteen miserable years.

Lori said she'd just go hang out with Marianne for the day because she's a lawyer and could probably help discuss what's best for Lori right now in her relationship with Matteo. She already left actually, she left me a note on the kitchen counter saying she'd be back late.

I haven't talked to Dahlia and Nairobi either. I just don't know what to say to them or if I could even trust them. What they did hurt, especially the fact they chose Angelo over their best friend. But I've also realized it wasn't only Angelo they chose, they chose their husband and wife and their families over me and I can't blame them. For Lori, Ria, and Sy, I'd do the same thing.

Anyway, after I woke up I did my usual morning routine then went downstairs for some breakfast- avocado toast and a cup of tea- before heading out to my car and driving to Angelo's house.

Seriyah sent me the address because for one, the house is in the middle of nowhere, and two, I'm not just about to memorize a place I've only been to once.

Speaking of Seriyah, she and Maria are already there. She thought it'd be best to give Lori and me some peace and quiet to think for a while. I haven't seen my perfect baby in a week, she said when I grew the balls to confront the betrayals of the past, she'd be there waiting for me.

I arrived at the big home around ten minutes ago and have been struggling to find my way around the place. I need to get to anyone I'm supposed to confront but they're nowhere to be found.

Suddenly and thankfully, I start to hear noises coming from a door down the hall. I got closer to it and place my ear against the wood to hear what was going on inside.

"He literally scared off some girl at a Halloween party a few months ago." A familiar voice says.

Wait... that's Vince.

"I'm surprised she didn't call the cops, Dominic sucks with his women." Vince sounds amused.

Dominic has always been this way, he still hasn't found a wife sadly. I wish I got to know him better back then but I guess I have a whole lot of time to do that now.

"Why'd you even bring him out?" Nai! That's Nai's voice!

"I dared him to." This voice was easy to remember. The carefree tone, is soft but rough at the same time. It's Carlo Gambino.
