I walked to the library and went inside locking the door. I told everyone where I would be and only to disturb me if there was an emergency. I sat down in my chair and began to read the next entry...

14 July

It has been a few weeks since we found out about Xavier and ever since then we have been keeping an eye on him. So far things have lead me back to New York but this time Adriano and Leandro are also joining me on the move.

It was decided that it would be best if they were with me, just in case if anything were to happen.

I refused to stay in the penthouse mostly because of my memories of Xavier and the fact that I can't handle staying in the same place as him.

When we reached New York, I was surprised to find out that Xavier moved out. There was nothing of his at the penthouse.

The guilt is getting to him...

I thought but that was not the case. It was something way more than that...

Ricardo, Rinaldo and Alexander were made aware of Xavier's betrayal before I could find out but they were instructed to act normal just to avoid suspicion.

"Your apartment has only one bedroom." Leandro said in disbelief.

"I thought you knew."

"If I did, I wouldn't have just said that now would I?" He rolled his eyes.

Being the mature person that I am, I stuck my tongue at him and he just shook his head, trying to hide the smile that crept onto his face.

"We will sleep on the couch, Leandro." Adriano said.

"You can't, that is very uncomfortable. You guys can stay in the penthouse." I said. "It is only across the hall and I promise to lock the doors at all times."

"No, we need to stay in the same place. If Moretti were to come in the middle of the night. We wouldn't know and this time I swear I will not let him take you away." Adriano said strictly.

I sighed and nodded. "Okay." There was no way I was going to win this argument.

🖤🖤🖤🖤

"Hey Adri." Alexander said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Sup Dexter." I smirked and he chuckled.

"I am going to regret saying this but I missed you calling me Dexter." He said and I grinned.

"Oh my god. The Alexander Martino missed me! I think I am going to faint." I said dramatically and he laughed.

"You are crazy, you know that right."He shook his head and I winked at him.

"As long as you know." I smiled and got back to making myself a bowl of cereal.

I really appreciated the fact that he did not mention Xavier and I didn't ask him either. We had an understanding like that. He knew I was hurting from our breakup and I knew he was hurting from his brother's betrayal. Afterall they were brothers and they were very close.

"Have you heard anything from the guys?" He asked as we sat in silence, the only noise coming from me mucnhing on my cereal.
