Dante's pov.
I love my sister i really do. And I'm so fucking happy she's back in our lives.
But it's not safe. We're the biggest mafia in the world and her being here, it's stupid. We have thousands of people we consider our enemies and if any of them get a whiff of her being home, our biggest weakness. They're going to target her.
That's why me and Emilio decided we weren't going to bond with her. I don't know about Em but my plan is to be as horrible to her as I can that way she'll distance herself from me and I won't feel as bad.
If only I knew what 'distancing' myself would cause.
So with that thought I put on my hoodie and ran downstairs for lunch. On weekdays we normally have chefs cooking for us but since Rory came back papa didn't want anyone working for us at home. He's taking extra precautions to make sure she's safe. But sometimes extra isn't enough.
And we were going to learn that the hard way.
So instead of the chefs mama's been cooking and I am not complaining. Her cooking is god gift. She's amazing. As I make it to the table I sit next to em and he looks at me as if he already knows what I'm thinking.
"We gonna start today?" He asks lowly.
He's talking about treating Rory badly so she stays away from us. I don't want to but it's for the best. We can't get close because if something does happen to her it will break us worse than it will the others, she's our triplet.
"Yeah bro, lay it on thick then we can take it easy later on" I answer him in the same tone he used.
Everyone's seated at the table apart from Rory. My stomach lights up with worry although I do my best not to show it. She was fine earlier so she should be okay now.
Right?
She finally rushes down here looking kinda pale. Her hair is in two plaits and she's wearing one of my old tracksuits. Mumma asked me to drop some of my old tracksuits in because I'm the smaller out of all my brothers.
I'm 6'2.
Papa tells everyone to start eating while he observes her. I pile my plate up with food and watch as all my brothers do the same, I look at the tiny figure in front of me and watch as she stares at everyone else.
Why's she not getting anything?
Em scoffs and speaks up "what? You're too good for the food? I bet your one of those whore's who care too much about their appearance then actually eating? Why are you even here if you're not gonna eat?" He remarks.
I flinch when he uses the word "whore" I guess that's him laying it on thick. I stare at her but she's already staring at em with the scariest look on her face I almost nudge him to say sorry.
But then I remember why he said what he did as I open my mouth "hahaha you whore, your only here because papa felt bad for you and he didn't want you to ruin the family reputation. You don't belong here your nothing but a -" I begin in a strong voice but I'm cut off
"ENOUGH" max bellows.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO YOU SISTER LIKE THAT? SHE'S YOUR TRIPLET, YOUR SUPPOSED TO LOVE HER BUT YOUR TALKING TO HER LIKE SHES A RANDOM WOMEN ON THE STREET" he continued.
"I am so disappointed in you two, how could you speak to a woman like that let alone your sister, me and your papa did not raise you like this. Go to your rooms and leave you keys wallets and phones on the table." Mama said with tears in her eyes
That nearly broke my heart but I had to keep up the act. I looked at papa but he wasn't looking at us, he was staring at Rory with confusion.
She was sat back on her chair with a weird smile on her face. She looked like she was plotting ways she was going to kill us.
She knew about the mafia, maybe there's something she's hiding.
I promise myself I will find out and then I open my mouth as I stand up.
"Your not my sister your just a dirty slut that dad picked up from London and brought here out of nothing but pity" I said whilst staring at her head instead of her eyes.
I couldn't look at her beautiful eyes whilst I said such disgusting things to the person I've been praying for since I was 5.
"YOU LITTLE SHI-" Elijah starts clearly furious. Em stands up next to me ready for a verbal fight until Rory pulls lijah down and begins to stand up and stalk towards us.
She still had that creepy smirk on her face but I ignored it and tried to keep my angry facade up.
She stands infront of me and looks me in my eyes before she punches me so hard I hear a crack in my nose. I stumble back shocked out of my brain.
"What the fuck you little bitch" em starts but gets cut off by a punch of his own.
She kicks us both quicker than lighting and we both simultaneously tumble to the floor.
She bends down so she's level with both of us as she coughs lightly "if you two ever EVER talk to me like that again, you'll get so much more than I broken nose and a shattered ego. I'm your triplet but I didn't ask to be here god know I didn't ask for any of the shit he's put me through. You call me a whore or a slut again and I'll show you what I'm capable of." She says so calmly I get shivers. She then goes up to her full 5'3 height and stalks to the hallway door.
She turns to mama and papa and says "I'm going out, I'll be back tomorrow, don't worry about me I'll be fine. Check those dickheads' noses, they're both broken" she looks at us one last time and smirks she salutes and finished it off with the middle finger.
I hear her grab someone's car keys, slam the door shut and speed off to god knows.
What did she mean by she didn't ask for any of the shit she's been through?
Who are you Rory?
