"You."
Her eyes, swirling with surprise, fill with hurt as my lip curls.
"Nyx-" I cut her off.
"No. I don't want to hear it. You lost the right to call me by that name. I don't need to hear your excuses."
"You don't understand, I didn't have a choice."
"You could've said goodbye!" No matter how much I had grown to despise her, she still had a place in my heart.
"I'm sorry, do you two know each other?" I turn to face my family, whose faces each had matching expressions of both confusion and worry.
"I used to. Why don't you tell them, Isabella?"
"Nyx- Angelina," I turn and send a hateful glare her way.
"I didn't want to lie, I promise you I didn't." She reaches her arm out, as if to try to comfort me, but I take a step back.
The sound of footsteps echoes through the entryway, and I watch as a man emerges from the doorway, and comes to stand by her side.
"Bella? What is wrong?" His voice, thick with an Italian accent, reassures his wife as she looks at me with regret.
His eyes follows his gaze, then lands on me.
"Angelina, I presume?" He raises his eyebrows as he looks between Isabella and I.
I nod slowly as he turns to his wife, before lowering his head to whisper something in her ear.
She quickly shakes her head, and pats him on the chest as she takes another step forward.
"Just let me explain, okay? Please." She begs.
"I don't want to talk to you." I turn to Dad, and he looks down at me and gives me a small nod, before moving to the side, granting me an exit.
I gratefully take it as I walk past everyone, and storm upstairs, before reaching my room and slamming the door behind me.
What a small world.

Giovanni's POV:
I turn to my sister in law, my mind churning for an explanation on the confusing relationship between the two.
"It is best you explain, Isabella." I glance towards Marshall, but his gaze was locked onto his wife.
