Brea ⤴( All credit to the owner)
"No Brandon, I want this beautiful lady to answer for herself." Brea said smiling at me.
"I'm a friend of Brandon's." I said back with the hope of convincing her with every bit of my smile.
She came closer to me, hugged me and whispered: "I know something is up." She pulled away and gave me a mischievous smile and topped the act off with a nod.

"Welcome to Vito's, the pasta and pizza home." a handsome waiter said with a thick Italian accent.
Brandon went to the counter and ordered a meal for everyone whilst we went to the booth. Brea was speaking on the phone in Italian, giggling and flirting. We sat down and I took out my phone to make this less awkward for me. Brea suddenly stopped talking and she opened her eyes wide you'd think they'd pop out. She stood up and grabbed her hair at the roots with her left hand.
"Da-Da-Damanico? Damanico! Damanico! Dammit!"
She then fell on the floor and buried her face in between her legs. Brandon came running towards us with a worried expression.
"Brea what's wrong? I heard you shouting Damanico's name, is he here? Brea talk to me."
He then took her in his arms and rubbed her back and whispered soothing words in her ear.
Brandon scooped Brea bridal style and walked out of the restaurant, the waiter tried to call for Brandon probably to ask about the orders but I just waved him off.
We walked out of the restaurant and rushed to the limo outside.
Wait limo?
A round of applause for the Armenti family.
Brea was calm now and Brandon was finding it hard to keep himself together, so I sat beside him and rubbed his back in circular motion.
"Brea, I don't want to overwhelm you but I need to know what happened to Damanico."
"Brandon, I was talking happily on the phone with Nico and suddenly I heard a gunshot and he dropped the phone."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner Brea?"
"Because I heard papa's voice calling after him. I think they were at the mansion not the headquarters."
Mansion? Headquarters? Papa?
What's going on? Okay don't be nosey Winter.
Brandon looked at me and hugged me tight. Wow.
"Bella, listen,you're going to be by Brea's side until tonight.okay? I'll explain later."
And I nodded my head.
Here goes nothing
