One night turned into a complete fiasco that see...

I couldn't help but feel something strange at the sight of Nico's father. The man looked well into his fifties, had dark hair which was heavily fixed with hair gel and looked about the same height as Nicolas. His face was pale as he stared between Ada and me.
I shot a glance in Nico's direction and met his eyes. He frowned before he looked back at his father.
"Amore, they've come!" Aurora said enthusiastically before Eduardo's eyes locked on Natalia. I looked at her and saw her in complete distress. Almost like the man before her, was responsible for killing her beloved.
"I...I can see that," he muttered before giving his wife a kiss on her cheek. He managed to put on a faint smile as he headed towards us. He smiled at Ada and clearly checked her out, making Kassian roll his eyes before he spoke in Italian.
"Papa, non essere ridicolo." I guess it wasn't so difficult to understand what he had said and after Eduardo said a few words to my sister, his eyes moved onto Natalia by her side.
"Nice to see you," she swallowed hard before awkwardly smiling. I wondered why were they acting so strange. Eduardo's head moved towards me before he looked behind me at Nathanial. "Nate," he greeted him before his eyes went back to me. I extended my hand in hopes of introducing myself.
"I'm Brielle. It's my pleasure to meet you," he looked down at my hand and stared at it almost as though something flashed before his eyes.
"Papa?" I heard Nicolas's voice which brought his father out of the stare. He smiled at me and firmly shook my hand.
"The food will be ready in a little bit so why don't you," Aurora told Kassian, "Show your guests around?" I couldn't see what happened after as my eyes were still locked on Eduardo's.
Why was he so weird?
Did I resemble his past lover or something?
"I have some news for the both of you," Nate said as he walked around me and grabbed Eduardo and Nico's attention. Laura walked past me and headed upstairs.
"You coming?" Amelia asked me.
"I'll catch up," I said before the two followed Kassian. I looked towards the hallway in front of me where the men walked through. They entered a room which was bright on the inside yet after the double doors closed, it sucked out all of the brightness from the hallway.
I finally had some time to breathe. I looked back at a hallway on the other side. Noticing the many windows alongside a wall to the left, gave me some hope this place had light. Feeling some courage, I walked into the hallway.
A few feet ahead, I saw a beautifully decorated emerald-green lounge room. I entered it, looking at the plants and statues made out of golden material. My hand touched the back of a velvet sofa as my eyes looked up and saw the painting above the fireplace. I stepped closer to it, looking at the many faces in the portrait. I could recognise most of the people there but my eyes stopped on Nicolas. He looked just like a powerful businessman with an attitude problem.
