Luca De Costa
Eleanor having a mental breakdown in the middle of an argument was something I ..maybe...possibly...definitely did expect was gonna happen. She was like a ticking time bomb waiting for the right moment to explode. And now that she did, it makes it easier to spend time with her. Because now I don't have to walk on eggshells around her anymore.
"That was eventful." Alessio comments.
He gets a slap on the back of his head by Dante in response.
"Shut up. So what are we going to do to fix that mess?" Marco asks, nodding his head towards the office door Eleanor went through.
"I don't know, but I know there's no way in hell any of us are letting you send Maria to boarding school after that. Because I'm not letting my niece go through the same thing you put our sister through." Antonio says sternly.
"What I put our sister through? We all made a collective agreement to keep her safe and it did." Marco snaps back.
"Yeah because we blindly trusted you to make the right decision. And yes we protected her from getting physically hurt but we can't say much about mentally." Matteo states.
A knock interrupts whatever threat Marco was about to make.
"Come in!"
A maid walks in with her head down. "Mr De costas...I- you're sister has notified me to let you all know that she will not be joining you for dinner."
Dante grabs his glass and throws it at the wall, shards of glass fly everywhere as I catch the maid flinch.
"Thank you, if that is all you're dismissed." I say softly, not wanting to scare her more than she already is. She nods before curtsying and closing the door behind her.
"One day we're gonna run out of glasses for you to throw." Alessio points out.
"Well he could always use vases, plates, bowls...breaking windows, punching walls..." I drift off.
"Fucking comedians you guys are." Dante spits out.
"Marco have you seen Maria?! I can't find her anywhere?!" Erika suddenly says in panic.
Shit.
We all exchange glances before running out of the office and splitting up.
Me and marco outside, Dante to the left wing, Alessio to the right, Antonio and Matteo for upstairs.
I let a guard know to tell everyone else to look for Maria. By the time me and Marco get to the gardens guards and maids are frantically running around looking for Maria.
We go farther and farther into the outdoors, almost reaching the woods on the outskirts of the backyard when I get a call from Alessio.
"What is it? Have you found her?!" I ask desperately.
"No...Luca I need to know if you're with someone before I tell you this."
"I'm with Marco. You're on speaker phone."
"Okay...fuck why did it have to be you two together. I need you guys not to freak out."
