Where The Clouds Go

Chapter Ten {Segreto Or Caruso?}

Sebastian Caruso.

I had been playing games with Luca, not a care in the world. Luca was like the brother I never had, he liked to tease the way siblings do, he was kind and caring like CeCe.

There was a firm and loud knock on the dark wooden French doors, it caused both Luca and I to avert our attention from the game.

"Come in." Luca called out as the door opened, one of Luca's brothers walked in.

"Dad called a family meeting. Everyone needs to meet in the living room." The man sighed, Lucas face twisted into a frown.

"Family meeting...We rarely have family meetings, I wonder what's so important tonight." Luca muttered as he stood up.

"Should I stay here?" I asked placing the controller down on the coffee table.

"Nah, if it's only for family, you can go find CeCe. She's been gone for a bit." Luca shrugged as he helped me up.

"She probs got lost in this fucking castle." I said as we laughed.

When we reached the living room, I froze, my twin sister was crying.

She never cried, I felt a pain in my heart as I heard her sob. Her ears were red and puffy, her cheeks tear stained.

When she saw me she chocked a sob, I immediately ran over and pulled her into my embrace.

No words spoken, just a universal language that told me not to ask, just to hug her as she cried.

"Children, we need to talk. This is very important and might shift our family." Luca's father began.

He looked just like the people in my dream, they all did. I shrugged it off and claimed it was simply a coincidence.

"You remember your mother, correct?" The man said, I knew he was talking to the others.

I guess their mom must've not been in the picture, but what was so important about that?

"Yes..." They all said in unison.

"Some of the younger ones might not have remembered but when we left Rome, your mother was pregnant." The man continued, I wondered where he was going with this.

I knew my mom lived in Rome once, same with Novara, but she was born and raised in Austria. She had always been very flighty, constantly desiring to travel and never settle down.

"Yea, I wonder what happened to mom and my younger sister or brother. I hate being the youngest." Luca sighed as he mentally drifted away.

"It's not THAT bad." One girl pointed out, I had to agree, imagine getting spoiled. It sounded luxurious to me.

"Children, focus." The man interrupted.

"Cecilia and I ended up chatting tonight," The man continued, I stiffened when he mentioned my sister, what did she have to do with anything.

Did he hurt her?

Did he make her cry?

What happened to my sister?

The man inhaled as he continued his sentence, "When we left, your mother was pregnant with twins."

My stomach churned, this sounded familiar, too familiar.

"NO WAY! I have two little siblings?!" Luca exclaimed as a couple of his siblings laughed.

"Yes, and I now know who those twins are." The man said, I was happy for him, finding his long lost children or whatever.
