"Capo, the house has been burned down." A man from the mafia said to Roman who lowered his eyes down at him.

"Which house?" I asked him, he was hesitant on answering me and looked at Roman who gave a slight nod.

"The house that is on Milburn."

Oh my fucking god.

"What! The fuck did you say?" Tina screamed at the man who only look emotionless, Jay stood behind her in case of holding her, she can be violent when something angers her.

"How much things has been burned off?" Roman asked him with a cold voice, holding a hand on my arm.

"Everything."

Tina fell on the sofa, out of despair and looked at the ground with no emotions. I took a deep sigh and turned away toward the balcony.

The house was the last gift from my father, everything there had my father's things and the attic where it has my books and stuffs. I get very emotional over my things that got burned.

"At least, none of you guys were there." Serena added to ease the tension but none of us heard her as we kept thinking the fact that our house got burned.

I narrowed my eyes at Roman who leaned against the cupboard, his arms crossed against his chest with eyes showing nothing but emptiness. I thought that it would be him, since he's a pyromaniac.

"I didn't do this Manelle, I don't have time for this." I scoffed as he answered my thoughts. Right, time.

"I don't believe you."

"You don't have to but you guys don't have a home now." He looked at Tina who glared at the floor as if it did something to her.

"Are you going to make snarky comments about this? Because this isn't funny." She retorted, having the red eyes since she tried to control her tears. Jay attempted on wrapping an arm around her shoulders but she pushed him off.

It wasn't the time to laugh but I still did making everyone look at me with disbelief.

"Sorry." I muttered and stopped laughing.

"We can do something. Stay at mine's." Roman said, sternly as he put his hands inside his pockets of the pants.

"And be killed? Forget about it." Tina scoffed ironically and placed her hand on her cheek, trying to think of a solution.

"You should listen to him." Luca stepped in, I didn't even notice him as he was wearing his full clothes black military uniform, only removed his mask.

"Who are you to bark orders at us?!" Tina screamed at him and I ran toward her, keeping her away from Luca who took a step back from this woman.

"She's deranged your girl, Jay." Luca stood next to Roman, for emotional support next to his cousin who don't even bother him as he stared the dark marble countertop of the kitchen.

"So I'm your girl right now." Tina chuckled coldly at Jay while walking toward him, he hissed and held his hands in surrender.

"He's making up things, doodles." He smirked and leaned down to match her eyes but she glowered at him with fury in her eyes but that just made Jay amused.

She threw a punch toward him, "Do not call me doodles."

"Tina, we can protect your sisters and your mother, I will still take care of her health if you stay here. You can use the Vitale name for any
necessities and I will deal with it." Roman stated as he swore his
name, my sister was thinking about it carefully.
