Livia Ximena Di Vittorio was the child that wasn't taken. She was the one who was left after her mother packed up and left with her four brothers leaving her with her father and a whole lot of responsibilities.
She now was the heir to the Italian M...

Livia Ximena Di Vittorio
"Watch it, Ramos," I warn when his eyes keep steering towards my cousin. I might have been younger but Camilla was someone I would protect for the rest of my life. Seb's hands fly up in surrender looking at me with a guilty expression.
"You know I won't try anything, Livy." He mutters, going back to wrapping his hands with tape. "I don't want Cami wrapped up in this messed up world as much as you."
I was startled to hear the darkness in Sebastian's voice; he is always the heir with the most compassion, the one who is always lighthearted through the darkest of times. Sebastian helped me so much last year when I was struggling even though he himself was drowning.
I sigh feeling conflicted; I was torn. Do I go with my head or my heart this time? My dad's voice rings in my head. 'Go with your first feeling, Liv. Most of the time you aren't wrong.'
"If it does eventually happen, Seb. I won't be mad." I grit out, it was a lot harder to say it out loud than I thought it would be but I needed to. "I see the way you look at her, and even though I wouldn't prefer that outcome I won't come between you."
Sebastian looks at me in shock and then he frowns. "It won't happen, Liv." He states gruffly, making sure I knew his decision was final. "I can't put her through it."
"We're all condemned in this life aren't we." I sigh, sliding down to sit on the mat and Sebastian follows me, the two of us stretching and warming up for when my brothers come for us. "At this point, none of us will ever find true love."
"I know, stupid rich kids with nothing but money and guns." He comments dryly. "Except for maybe the Princess, has she said anything to you about Ju...."
"Don't say his name, she might hear you." Both of our eyes flicked to Adelina, she had bat hearing and even though we were far and our voices were low, I didn't want to take any chances of being on her bad side. "She doesn't want to talk about it."
Sebastian sighs, but we don't comment on it any more. Last year we had both seen Adelina fall in love, but like anything in our lives, it hadn't lasted and it had left her heartbroken and colder than I had ever seen her.
"I'm heading out now," Camilla announces as she makes her way towards Sebastian and me, she smiles at us, totally oblivious to how he was looking at her, like a love-sick puppy. I blow her a kiss as she departs, returning the action.
"If you keep looking at her like that, she will probably figure it out," I comment, my eyes now following my brothers who had entered the room and not Sebastian, who murmurs under his breath.
"Yeah, like you haven't been receiving the same looks for years. It's the Di Vittorio curse"
"What was that?" I ask, refocusing my attention on my friend.
"Nothing, Livy."
I ignore the man and stand up. Sebastian followed behind me as I made my way to the boys. I hoist myself up to sit on the table and open the file with the training schedule all of us had gone through when we were between four and six. I hand out one to Seb for him and Nikolai and the other I pass to Adelina.
