Carlotta's POV

After that refreshing shower,  I checked the time on my phone, 3:30pm.  I decided to sleep on my queen size bed. As my head touched the pillow, I instantly fall asleep.

I woke up panting, another nightmare. I checked the time, 5:45pm I decided to have another shower. I heard someone knock on my door.

"Come on in." I say. "Bambina dinner's ready" I hear Elijah's voice from outside.

"Okay,  I'll be out in a minute." I yell. It's time to meet my other 11 brothers.

We walk downstairs and I hear muffled voices.

"Why must she stay here"

"She's your sister, where will she stay?"

"She's the reason mom left us"

I was stunned I was the reason mom left?

Elijah looked at me for my expression but I'm used to sealing my emotions when he didn't see anything ahe looked away.

As we reached the last floor all eyes were on me some were happy some glaring some were emotionless.

"Carlotta come sit here next to Xander and Xavier"  Some big emotionless man said. I assumed he is my brother. I walk over there and sat down. Everyone kept looking at me as if it was my cue to say something

"Okay, I know Elijah, now who the heck are all of you?"I said with no emotion in my voice.

They all looked hurt but masked it with no emotion .

"I'm Lorenzo your eldest brother I'm 26"The  big emotionless man said. "Boys introduce yourself" Lorenzo said.

"I'm Vincenzo I'm 24" another emotionless man said.

"I'm Alessandro I'm 24"and another emotionless man said.

"I'm Elijah remember me I'm 21"

"I'm Marcello this idiot's twin and I'm 20" I look at the resemblance between the two.

"Matteo, I'm 20" Matteo glared at me,what did I do?

"Domenico I'm 19"he glared at me I don't get it what did I do??

"I'm Cole this idiot's twin I'm 18"he smiled at me.

"I'm Luca and I'm the goof of this family I'm the same age as this idiot"

"I'm Luke I'm 17"he smiled.

"Xander I'm 16"he also glared at me.I think he's part of the people who don't want me here

"I'm Xavier he's twin " He smiled at me and I smiled back.

Then they all turned to me as if it was my cue to say something"Okay, uhm, Carlotta and I'm 15".

To ease this awkward situation, the maids came in with the food and it looked delicious but I'm only able to eat a small portion.

I stood up to drop my plate in the sink "is that all your eating?" Alessandro said.

"Yes, I'm still full from the plane" I simply put it.

"Carlotta come with me to my office" Lorenzo stood up and left.

When I got there I stood waiting for him to say something

"Sit" He commanded and I obliged.

"So there are certain rules you need to rules you need to follow"

"No disrespect
No black talking
No eye rolling
No cussing
No sass
No partying
No boys
No drugs
No sex
No going to the 3rd floor or basement that were we do our work
No leaving the house without I or your brothers permission
No staying out late unless we give out consent" he didn't even take a breather.

"Any questions?" He asked.

"Yes, I have alot of questions. One, what do you mean by 'no boys'? I like having boy company, that rule won't stop me from befriending boys.
Two, 'no cussing'?  Bro, I can't live a day without cussing you better get used to that. Three, respect is earned not demanded. Four,what's your business? And lastly, if I wanna leave, I'll leave a note or a text.That is all".

"Ok I'll allow boys, but if they harm you let me know, you have to minimize the way you cuss. Okay, I can understand that respect is earned. You must tell anyone of us before you leave no note or text. The family business we run are casinos, restaurants and clubs".

"Okay, can I go now?" I asked as  I was really sleepy.

"Yes, also you start school in two weeks so tomorrow, I'll get someone to take you to the mall"

"Okay, good night Lorenzo"

"Night night, Bambina"

I left Lorenzo's office. On my way back to my room, I bumped into something hard or someone.  I looked up and saw Domenico glaring at me

"Watch were you're going" He growled at me. Immediately I thought of Fred(her step dad)and I began shaking.

"Are you okay Carlotta?" He reached to touch me and I flinched. He looked hurt but masked it with anger and he stormed off.

I ran back to my room and started panicking,I closed my eyes and started counting numbers until my breath returned back to normal.

I quickly went to the bathroom and subconsciously took out a razor and slit my arm. After I was done torturing myself, I had a shower and went to sleep.
