After her lunch date with Elena, Amara went up into her room, shutting the door behind her. "I felt bad." Sebastian spoke, causing her to look up. She found Sebastian sitting in the chair by her bed. "I couldn't find anything useful on Claudio, so I found something out about Leo instead."

Amara sighed and sat on her bed. "I didn't ask you to do that."

"I know you didn't, but I was doing something for a friend so I asked." Sebastian answered, remaining slouched. "Now Leo's clean as far as the eye can see but the father's a different story."

Amara rolled her eyes. "Go on."

"Mr Laiture doesn't permit his eldest son to do anything without his permission. This includes schooling, Leo wanted to Princeton but his father thought it was too far away and ended up settling for NYU. And this is apparently selective. His youngest lives and breathes as he pleases." Sebastian explained.

"Leo has a bad father, what's your point?" She wondered.

"I just thought it was interesting, wouldn't it explain the secrecy?" Sebastian smirked and Amara raised her eyebrows.

Meanwhile Valentino was sat in the living room across Diego. "I hope you'll listen to me, as a friend of course, because I think Dante needs some attention." Valentino began as Diego grimaced.

"You do realise who this is coming from, right?" Diego laughed.

"I may not be the perfect parent, but none of my children have ran into someone's home and threatened to kill someone." Valentino followed up as Diego rolled his eyes.

"So you're saying I'm a bad parent? Your daughter was the one who pushed him into the water in the first place!" Diego exclaimed.

"But this isn't an isolated incident, Diego." Valentino remained calm. "Just look at the way he was around Emilio's cat."

"Enough of this, I don't want to hear anymore." Diego stood up.

"If you must." Valentino rolled his eyes. "Don't let your pride get in the way of Dante's health."

"Don't put your nose where it doesn't belong." Diego, who said he was leaving, remained standing in front of Valentino.

"This is me raising concern as an uncle, if it were up to me I would've taken him to get analysed." Valentino sighed as he too stood up. "But as I see we can't talk civilly about it, I won't bother you ever again."

"Yeah. Oh, and make sure Elena stays the hell away from my son." Diego ordered.

"Oh, I'm sure Elena won't be going out of her way to see Dante." Valentino reassured Diego before he made way to the kitchen, he stopped once he noticed Diego was still waiting for him. "You're free to leave, Gloria will show you out."

On Valentino's way into the kitchen, he saw a shadowy figure in the corner of his eye, he turned around and saw Elena leaning up against the wall. "Hello father." She smirked. "I came here to show you my designs."

Meanwhile Catalina had brought Roman back to her house, they sat in her room. "Well hey, if you're so worried about this kid, why not look him up?" Catalina suggested. "It couldn't hurt right? Everyone has a social media profile these days."

"Alright." Roman agreed as he sat by Catalina's desk, she opened her laptop. "Try Micah Montana." Catalina looked at him strangely. "What? He has our last name- my grandparents were supposed to raise him as their own." He quickly followed up. "That's how they found out, they don't look as young as they think, especially not young enough to have a thirteen year old."

Catalina shrugged and typed the name. "It kinda makes you wonder if one of my siblings isn't really a sibling."

"Hmm, now that I think about it... All of your brothers are blonde, with your dad's dark hair, how is that possible?" Roman teased.
