Chapter 3

Raven pov

We are about to step into the house till I look around and spot a few other cars. "I thought you said the others weren't home?" I questioned

My words make his eyes dart to the car park as he mutters a few curse words "i'm so sorry i didn't plan them to be home early, cheeky shits must be skipping. We can go for a walk for a bit if you aren't ready but it will be fine if you are ready they will love you to bits."

"It's okay, I'll meet them now, better to get it over with, right?" I breath out gripping my hoodie sleeves in my fists to stop them from shaking.

He nods his head, giving me a smile "right." He twists the door handle after swiping a card and typing in a bunch of passcodes then whips his hand around and says a word that sounds like pure gibberish.

Taking a deep breath i follow him through the huge front door which are overwhelmed with gorgeous detail decorating the door complimenting the amazing architecture of the house.

Once I took a few steps into the main hall, the breath from my lungs was taken away by the luxury this house contains. Just as i was thinking the outside was amazing, the inside is just out of its league.

A hand on the top of my back takes me out of my trance.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a breather outside for a few minutes? Dinner will be ready soon but I don't mind." Lorenzo asks

"No it's okay, I'll be fine, just your house is beautiful. I've never seen anything like it before." I reply still admiring the beauty in front of me. I turned back to look at him. I was about to ask where the rest were but he spoke first.

"Not my house, our house. You're one of us now Raven." He professed still rubbing my back in encouragement. His words almost bring tears to my eyes but i use all my power in my body not to start sobbing at his kindness.

He takes his hand off of my back and offers me to hold it, hesitantly i lightly hold his hand as he sets his steps to match my pace.

As we grow close to what seems to be a dining room i hear a few voices slowly growing louder. I squeeze Lorenzo's hand unconsciously which makes him pause.

"You will be okay, I promise. I'll be there the whole time." He squeezed my hand in comfort and he slowly walks into the room, I cower behind his back trying to make sure the area is safe before I move.

"Uh dad, there's someone behind you." A boy's voice travels through the room.

"I think he knows that, dipshit. He's holding her hand." Another irritated voice grumbled.

"She looks too young to be holding dads hand." Someone whispers

That makes my head poke out defensively, I do not like someone thinking of me like that. Lorenzo must be able to sense the tension i am feeling a rubs his thumb over my hand.

"Dont say stuff like that Matteo, you know i would never go near another woman ever since your mothers death." He declares "This is Raven, your sister."

The room goes silent, like I mean so silent you could hear the crickets that are outside. Unless they have a bug infestation.

I heard a squeak that sounded slightly like a bird squawking out of excitement. "When did you find her?"

"Well obviously a few hours ago since she's right behind him." The same irritated voice spoke

"Felix, stop with the attitude. Now raven you come down here and sit beside Matteo." He walks me over with my hand in his and pulls out a chair next to a boy who looks identical to me but has gorgeous golden eyes instead of green with a very excited look on his face.
