The drive was quiet, and Amara felt a bit weird about it. Finally, Santiago decided to break the ice, " You know you have no choice, right ?" He said while taking a turn on a curb. "But I.." Amara tried to talk back.
" No, listen to me, Amara, this is serious. You could be putting not just you but your brother and entire family at risk. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. You don't have to like them to stay with them, and if you need anything, you just call me"
Amara said nothing, leaving Santiago to sigh only and continue the drive. Upon arriving home, Amara got down before Santiago could even turn off the engine. Immediately, she walked into the house, a pair of arms wrapped around her.
" Oh Mara, if you are not happy, I can just call your fratellos( brothers)...."
" No mum , you don't have to do that. It's not fair to anyone. After we are done settling this issue, we will come back home. Plus, it's not fair to Marcus, no matter how much I hate the man , Marcus has the right to decide how to feel about him. "Kissing her mother on the head, she made her way upstairs to her brother's room. Standing in front of the door, she could hear sniffles coming from the other side. She knocked and then opened the door. Seeing her brother sitting on his bed with a piece of paper in his hand.
" I always knew something was up with the way no one ever spoke about father. It's funny, I always wanted to meet him, but now I don't know what I want or feel. And to find out that I also have other siblings, I'm just..." Amara didn't give him the chance to finish. She held his hand and stared into his bloodshot eyes. It was evident that he had been crying for a while now. " I don't know what to say. That would make u feel better. We will be leaving for Italy in two days, I hope that you get answers to the questions you have. " With that, she pulled him into a hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes before she left for her room. Lying on her bed, she only hoped that she got the strength not to put a bullet in his heart the next time she saw him. After making a few arrangements for Santiago to take over during her absence, she was finally consumed by sleep.
