Deluded

Chapter 48

Evangeline's P.O.V

"Won't you let me in, baby sis?" He questioned while I stood there frozen not knowing what to do.

No, don't let him in Evangeline, don't. He could be a criminal or a killer. The voice at the back of my head warned but my curiosity was getting the best out of me, but I knew better than taking risks about my life.

"No" I stated, confidently as I tried to close the door but his foot came on the way, preventing me from being able to close the door and that's when panic started to rise up inside me.

"I said no!" I exclaimed, making him sighed in defeat but his foot still remained at the door.

"I'm just here to talk. I won't hurt you, I swear. Trust me, Evangeline, I just want to talk" he explained as I stared through the small gap on the semi-closed door, thinking whether I can trust him or not.

"Okay, come in" I mumbled in defeat as I opened the door for him to come in, falling for the desperate in his voice as I let go of my fear of letting a stranger in that could possibly kill me.

If he kills me, I won't going to act surprised.

I'm probably going to regret my decision but let's see what happens and if something happens, I'm not going to be shocked.

"Follow me" I mumbled as I led him towards the drawing-room where his gaze wonders at every corner.

He made himself comfortable on the sofa, while I stood far from him, watching him.

"What do you wanna talk about?" I snapped at him, making his eyes widened in surprise.

"Woah, calm down, baby sister" he responded while I scoff at him, clearly not in the mood to play around as I was already pissed at him for waking me up from my nap.

He better says something worth listening to.

"Stop calling me baby sis. I'm not your sister" I exclaimed, making him smile at me.

" Yes, you are my baby sister" he replied as he smirked, while I stared at his grey eyes and jet black hair that looked so similar as mine just like I inherited from my mother.

"No, I'm not. I don't have any siblings. I'm the only child" I stated proudly, while he raised his eyebrow at me.

"And that's what you thought" he replied as he leaned back on the sofa, while I glared at him.

"Pardon me but I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Adrian Rossi" he introduced himself and just when I was about to open my mouth to introduce myself he stopped me.

"I know you. So you don't have to introduce yourself" he added, while I scrunch my face at him. His attitude stinks.

I was trying not to believe my ears but I know my eyes can't deceive me especially when he looks exactly just like my dad with the same features but the grey eyes and dark hair from my mom.

My life is officially f*cked up. How the hell is he my brother? 21 years of my existence and I only get to know now that I have a brother? What the actual hell is going on?

"I know you won't believe me but trust me. I'm your brother and no matter how much you try to deny it, you can't change the facts here" he stated as I sat on the opposite sofa, completely taken back.

"Where were you all these years then?" I questioned, which made him look down, not meeting my eyes.

"It's a long story, Evangeline" he replied, while I rolled my eyes.

" I got time" I answered, which made him just nod his head slowly.

"I was in Spain. Father decided to send me there after you were born-" he explained but I soon cut him off.

" Why?" I exclaimed, making him raise his hand, stopping me.

"Lemme finish, Evangeline" he responded, making me nod my head, embarrassed.

" He sent me there so that I could look after the shipments and other stuff when I reach the right age, which I did, so that he could protect you more" he added, making me confused as ever.

Okay but why that does not make any sense?

" I know you're confused but you know that dad is in the mafia, right?" He asked while I shook my head no, as a frown formed on my face. What's going on?

My whole life is a lie. I wouldn't be surprised now if he says that I was adopted. They've been lying to me my whole life.

But why did Dad not tell me about it that night when he told me that Abram is the leader? Why did he try to make Abram the only one who's evil when he's associated with the evil too?

"Well, I guess it's time for you to know everything. Okay, lemme start from the very beginning. So, dad is in the mafia and he was the leader before you were born. He used to be very close with the Valentinos, in fact, I was too. You know Abram?" He questioned, making my breath hitch on my throat.

Of course, the guy who used me as bait and as much I didn't want to talk about Abram, this is my only chance of getting to know everything they were hiding from me, the reason for the revenge, and what actually happened.

This is my only chance.
