POV: Dad (Mr. Romano)
I wanna fix her, but how do you fix a lifetime of pain, not only that, my kids our giving that precious soul such a hard time.
I have no idea what is going on inside their mind. Anger? Jealousy? Immaturity?Scared?
Whatever it is, it has to end now, because I won't be able to calm their eldest brother; he will for sure kill his younger brother for Ariel.
I entered my office, and my phone rang and it was my oldest son, Luca. I picked up his call
"WHAT THE FUCK THESE DUMBASSES DO?" Luca yelled on the call.
"Calm down, son, and do not speak to me like that. I'm your father," I said to him calmly.
"Sorry, Dad, but they need to be dealt with. Let me do that, and these assholes of my brother will never dare to do what they did," He snapped
"NO, I will deal with them, don't you worry, I love Ariel as much as you do, but they are also my sons, giving it to you to deal with will be handing their death sentence," I said, trying to lighten it up at the end.
Luca was silent
"I'm coming home," he said and hung up the phone
Before I could put my phone down, there was a knock.
"Come in," I said.
They opened the door and came inside with no arrogance or attitude in their behaviour, which was good.
I didn't even let them sit, as they should feel the tension, they should feel bad.
"Who would like to start first?" I said as calmly as possible.
Before they could say anything, I said, " cause you pushed your sister into the pool and watched her drown, have you gotten that much sadistic?"
Matteo clenched his fists. Allesandro looked away. Antonio's eyes glossed with guilt.
" SHE IS NOT OUR SISTER, WE DON'T KNOW HER, SHE IS JUST A GOLD DIGGER IN OUR HOUSE, SO STOP CALLING HER OUR SISTER," Matteo said.
Before I could say anything, Matteo was on the floor and by none other than my most calm child, Leonardo, I had to tear him off Matteo.
"Don't you dare talk about my sister like that," Leonardo said
Matteo looked heartbroken.
I kicked everyone out of the room except Matteo.
Once everyone was out, I looked at Matteo, and my eyes softened. "Matteo, what you did was wrong. Why do you think she is not your sister? I know my son, and I see a scared child. What are you scared of ?" I asked softly.
"She took you away from me," Matteo said, sounding broken.
"What do you mean, Son? We are with you!" I said with as much conviction as I could muster.
"You all go to war, but when she gets hurt, when I was hurt, no one noticed. I suffered all alone, and it was easy to resent her for it." Matteo said
I just hugged him and apologized, and he cried.
"Dad, what should I do now? " Matteo asked, genuinely feeling guilty this time.
"Son, you can start by apologizing to her," I said
He nodded
