She took a deep breath before she began talking.
Present
I looked at my dead brother in his casket. I wish that I could've been there they knew the weak spot of this family. My mother hasn't been herself lately, but she hardly showed it she tried to be everywhere else, but home because it reminds her too much of Marco. I am so glad that we had the funeral here in Italy at our child hood home.
I haven't been this ruthless since Alex left. I am coming for Andreas because he has no right to go into a mental hospital and kill my brother. My mother said there was top security, but I guess they lied. Now his cold body is laying in a casket. Everyone outlived him and that is something my mother didn't want. She wanted to outlive us.
My mother stood by me and laid her head on my shoulder.
" Devina isn't okay either. Go comfort her, Giovanni."
" Mama, you are not okay either," I said and wrapped my arms around her and she just cried. He was like my best friend besides my twin who absolutely annoying. He is the one who will get the job done.
" Go to Devina she needs you more than ever," I let my mother go and went to my little sister who was outside. Everyone is scattered around the church I think they need some personal space at this moment. Devina looked up at me and smiled a little bit, but it went away quickly. That was her twin brother and lost one of her brothers officially I don't think she will be okay if she lost another. I need to stay for her, but I also need to focus on work.
I sat down next to her and neither of us said a word. She had a flower in her hand but she was peeling off the petals and throwing them.
" I miss him so much, Gio. Why did they have to go after him? Why? I thought he was going to be safe. I made Marco promise me before he was sent away he will come back home to me. He isn't coming home. God called him home somewhere else. I won't get to see him walk in the house again to come to hug me and always be there when he was okay," Her tears started sliding down her now red cheeks. She scooted over until she was in my arms.
" Dev, it is going to be ok. I will find Andreas and kill him. I will make him pay for all of this. I won't let him get away. Not only you just lost your older brother, but I lost my little brother. I miss him as much as you do. In another life, you will see him again."
" That life will take forever," She got up and wipe her tears away.
" Don't do anything stupid, Devina," I called out. I need to get going too. I have some things to get prepared and make sure everyone at the warehouse is doing their work and training for this upcoming event.
