Selena's POV

„Nica, you still need to tell us how you made it to the US without the Cosa Nostra noticing." Flavio said, to get the conversation going. "You don't care about that, now that I am useless for you." I told him and wanted to stand up, my food would get cold! But Ryan was still and uncontrollable factor in this equation. "But I care." he said and held me down. Lucius, too, seemed interested in what I had to tell. "Luigi, nemico mio (Luigi, my enemy. (In a way to address him)). I, like very normal human, sat down in a plane and flew over here. Now, if you would excuse me, I would like to go eat again." I finished.

I had thought to tell them that I wanted to leave now, but it seemed that my equation was full of unknown factors. Mr. Johnson just clapped quickly and a servant brought me my plate. "But please, you won't call yourself Nica anymore, or not?" Luigi asked and I shuddered, like each time he called me my name. "Qui mi chiamo Selena (Here, I call myself Selena)" I said, falling back into my native language. "Aha. It's nice when you can choose your own name." Flavio said, writing some numbers on his notepad.

"Eh, va be. I think I need to get some air." I said and managed to seperate myself from Ryan. "Alone, you are going nowhere. I will accompany you. Jack, take over." the oldest brother said and destroyed my hopes for a bit of freedom. He put his hand on my free back and led me to into the direction of the garden

Ryan's POV

„Nica, aha." I mumbled and stepped out into the night. "A short form of Nicoletta. But let's stay at Selena, there is less blood on that name." Selena answered and she sounded exhausted, as if the conversation had powered her out.

"Selena is the name of the girl I would kill for" I told her and bowed down to her to kiss her. She didn't seem to enjoy it, but she would one day, I promised myself. "Sì, sì. I mean, if you think so. As long you don't tell me that this bunch isn't staying to whole night, everything will be fine." she murmured , as if she had really feared them. "I'm sorry, but I have to disappoint you, my... darling. Because there are plans made for tomorrow with them, there is no other way but to let them stay." I told her and noticed how she shuddered.

"Don't get scared, I am here with you." I laughed and followed her spinal callum down her back. "Non è meglio." (That's not better) she whispered. I just guessed that it wasn't something nice that she said, because, in contrast to my brother, I couldn't understand Italian. "They have a meeting tomorrow and will leave after that. And my parents will leave in a few day, so you can run around the house as long as you want to, without getting scared someone will harm you." I tried to calm her down, hugging her from the back.

We spend the evening in the fresh air, and it seemed to calm Selena down. But sometime we had to go back inside and we saw that some guys had a few glasses too much. Only Luigi and this other dude, Leo or Leopardo, or something seemed more or less sober. The women were sent to bed with a kiss on the cheek, and I heard how Leo- something whispered something into my toys ear. "Bene di averti nella stessa casa, bellissima Nica." (It'S nice to have you in the same room, beautiful Nica.) I heard him say and knew that it didn't mean anything positive, because Selena's hands were jittery and Jack made a unpleasant expression.

That's why Selena wouldn't spend this night alone.
