Our father used to hit her?
What did she say about having to kill?
Starved?
Abused?
What?
We all stare at her figure as she slams to front door shut.
Snapping out of my daze I finally focus on what just happened.
I turn to my grandfather immediately. "What the hell is wrong with you!" I shout at him. "We just got here back and you want to say something like that!" I continue to yell at him.
"I- Your fathers wouldn't do that! Did he ever hit you?!" He shouts. "She is a liar!" He continues. This mother fucker.
"No he never fucking hit me, but we all saw how much my father hated Diovanna! Because his wife died and he blamed a damn child!" I am in no doubt that my father was capable of hitting a child.
Grandfather doesn't speak but someone else's voice rings out through the room.
"Y'all are so fucking stupid." Lucian mutters while standing up.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Rocco asks him, annoyance in his tone.
Lucian stops walking away and turns back to face us, "it means that you are fucking stupid, stupid for letting your father send her away, stupid for not trying to get her out of that school, stupid for many more decisions you have all made. Her trauma, is on you." He explains.
"Trauma?" Grandfather asks with a scoff. "She probable lied about it all." Grandfather states smugly.
Don't punch him.
This seems to catch Lucian's attention. "You know what? I'm sick and tired of your stupid ass comments towards Diovanna!" He says before in a swift motion he lunges at my grandfather.
Lucian lands a punch to his face before sweeping his legs. And now, my grandfather is pinned to the floor.
"You ever talk about Diovanna's past, or your bitch of a son, I'll will personally kick your ass. I don't care who you are old man. You have not a clue what she has been through, so shut your mouth asshole." Lucian tells him before getting up and walking to his room probably to call Diovanna.
"What just happened?" Matteo asks like a fucking dumbass.
I sigh, "uncles, older cousins, grandpa, let's go to my office. Grandfather, get yourself together." I tell them before walking away.
What just happened?
