I wake up to the sound of my dad screaming my name from downstairs. I realised I have slept all night in the floor. My back and neck muscles are so swollen and sore. I hear my dad screen my name again, I immediately get up and I remember all the bruises and cuts from last night as I feel the pain wash over my body again.

"Coming father" I say back 

I grab my bags, and as I'm about to leave my room I remember I forgot the ring "how could I forget this little guy" I say to myself as I open the cabinet in my nightstand and put the box in my bag.

I walk downstairs holding tight onto the railing so I don't fall from the pain while holding my one and only suitcase with a backpack on my shoulder. I don't have much stuff to take from here, most of 'my things' are now my sisters.

I walk downstairs and see my whole family looking at me. "I'm sure she's become one of his sluts" says Katrina looking me up and down with a disgusted look. "She won't last a week with him" says my mom giving me the same look as Katrina. "At least she's bring so use to this family" says victor. I'm used to these comments from my family, but I am surprised that my dad didn't say anything, I mean he did say stuff last night. 

I walk out the door and I stand in the door frame but I don't turn around "good bye to you too" I say as I tear slides down my face. I walk to the black car parked out side our house. A man walks out and takes my suitcase and puts it in the trunk. That same man opens the door for me and I sit inside "thank you sir" I say to the man offering him a smile. "It's my pleasure ma'am" he says, "oh please call me Sasha" I say "right, of course Sasha" he says with a smile.

"You only bought one suitcase? You do realise you'll be living with me for forever, right?" I turn around to see Matteo sitting texting someone on his phone. "I don't have much to take from here." I say. He turns to look at me, then my hand, "where's the ring?" He asks. "Oh, it's in my bag." I say looking at my hand now fidgeting with the ring I already hand on. "Put it on. Now." He says demanding as he looks back in his phone. I take the ring from my bag and put it on.

...

The whole ride was quiet, I kept looking out the window the whole time.

After about 2 hours we finally reach to what I think is Mattoe's house. The man opens the door for me and I walk out, I nod slightly bow to him as a thank you. 

"You don't have to thank his every 2 minutes, he's doing his job after all." I hear Matteo say standing about 2 feet behind me. "It's a way of showing respect, but I see you obviously know none." I say back as I take my suitcase. 

"Watch your mouth, Sasha" he says walking inside the huge mansion and I realise it's beauty 

"What are you going to do, huh? Kill me? I'm sure my family and my myself wouldn't mind me dead." I say and I step inside and I'm in immediate shock from how beautiful. I look around totally I love with the design and detail of this place.

"Is that so?" I turn to see Matteo smirking at me "well then you wouldn't mind if I just." He says pulling out a gun, and for some reason I don't pull out my gun, I look at him calmly. "Not at all Matteo, you could kill me here right now, right here." I say looking at the gun now.

"Well unfortunately I would want your whore of a sister next to my sister, so I won't kill you just yet." He says as he puts his gun down.

"So the reason you picked me was cause I'm not a whore?" I ask him 

"Yes, but not only that. I saw how good you were with her and how you were ready to get shot for her." He say as he walks away

"You do know it's my first time here, right? I don't know where to go." I say as he stops for a second. 

"Maya will come and take you to your room, I will be busy all day, but if you manage to need me, I'll be in my office, if I'm not there wait for me to get back, and you'll be picking up Nicole at 2 pm from school. Oh, and, don't walk around the house without maya, she'll be your personal maid." He says before walking away.

"Okay, thanks" I say before he walks away 

...

A few moments later a lady about my age, maybe even a bit older walks up to me. "Hi, I'm maya, I'm here to help you, and take you to your room ma'am." She says as she takes my suitcase from my hands. 

"Oh, call me Sasha, please. And let me help you with that." I say taking the other side of the handle on my suitcase, she looks at me confused and I offer her a smile. "Consider me a friend." She smiles

... 

I have been in my room for a while now, I have absolutely nothing to do. I have had a small hour tour with Maya, she's really sweet. 

It's only 11am, I have about 4 hours until I'm going to pick up Nicole from school. I decide that's I can't stay here for 4 hours doing nothing. Maya isn't around. So i decide I'll just go to the library. Reading is a passion of mine. I get out of my room and go to the library. 

I pick out a book and start reading.

A little while later I feel myself dozing off on the couch in the library.
