The Lost Daughter!

Chapter 21: We finally meet - Part 2

Valentina's P.O.V

Lui and i drove down the hill and i could've sworn i saw a massive, muscular looking guy watched us leave.

"Goodness, that's my Uncle." Lui stated.

"Your Uncle?!" I yelled and hit the brakes.

If Lui wasn't wearing a seatbelt, he would've went flying through the windshield.

"That hunk of a man, is your Uncle?"

"ONE!" His high-pitch voice yelled whilst tightly gripping the seatbelt for dear life.

"One of my Uncle." Releasing a breath, he continued, "My papa have seven brothers and one sister."

"So, that makes nine of them altogether?" I ask surprised. Now i'm seeing eight massive brothers in line. Boy do i want to see all of them. Except for Lui's dad, cos that will be just weird.

I released the break and hit on the gas pedal, my mind still running wild with this new knowledge.

"Wow! Your grandmother is one hell of a woman to have nine kids."

"They would have stop at two if the second born was a girl." Lui added.

"They were hoping for a boy and girl, huh?" He nodded.

"Unfortunately, they had their daughter on the ninth try." We both giggle at that. "She's my nono's princesa. She's a good Aunty. Always watching out for me." He paused. I can see him smiling out of the corner of my eye.

"They all are." He conclude. He turn to me with a smile and then back to the road ahead.

"Oh, turn right here." I followed his direction.

"Keep going straight, we'll hit Turin in a couple of minutes." He said.

"-Be In Turin." I corrected. "Not hit Turin."

He slap his right cheek and responded, "Oi, l'inglese è troppo complicato." (Oi, English is too complicated). I laughed as if i understood him.

Then, it was silence after that. I think we both needed it.

My Mama and Papa popped into my head again, i felt a tear leave my eye, then another and another, before Lui could prepare himself, i was full on crying. I stopped on the side of the road and let loose. Everything hits me at once. We were so happy and was looking forward to shopping, only to be gun down because i was someone's daughter. I hiccup as more thoughts run through my head.

"There, there." Lui's awkward comforting words fill my ears, followed by an awkward pat on the back.

I just wanted to go home, see my Mama and Papa, then sleep. I thought.

I wipe my tears and snots with the palm of my hands and turn to him, "Can you drive? I want to sleep." Lui nodded and got out to walk around to takeove while i switch to the passenger seat.

Once he settled, then we're off to Turin. I'm so exhausted that i fell asleep.

I felt my door opening and a finger rubbing my cheek.

"Ciao, mia bella ragazza." (Hello, my beautiful girl.) A manly voice whispers. Assuming it was Lui, although, him calling me 'mia bella' is just weird.

My mind settles back to sleep and i faintly heard a female voice say, "She's so pretty." And then it was lights out.

Dominic's P.O.V

As soon as Xavier said to follow the jeep, i was in my car faster than anyone could see. Ray runs back as well and hopped in the passenger seat.
