Heart Of Our Home [On Hold]

Earlyyyyy updateeeeee

"Let's get food, bîtches." Luca grumbled as Riccardo shît him a glare. Luciano's dark eyes narrowed at Luca. His jaw clenched as he ground his teeth.

"Language." Luciano stated. Mila's eyebrows creased together in confusion as she squinted her eyes. Luca mirrored her expression and looked at Luciano.

Mila leaned near his ear, when Luciano stopped analysing them. "What the duck?"

"No idea." He shot her a weird smile.

"Would you like to say something to everyone?" Gio smirked. This statement attracted the attention of everyone on the table. Mila took this as an opportunity to voice her opinion and Luca gave her a discreet thumbs up. She got up from her chair and placed her hands on the table.

"Yes." Mila gave Gio a sarcastic smile. "I don't get why this strange man comes to dinner, gets treated like family. We don't even know who he is." She pointed at Luca and back to herself. "So would someone like to tell us what's happening. Mic drop." She pretended to drop a microphone as amused and shocked expressions appeared on her family's faces. Everyone looked taken aback.

Francesco and Gio knew drama was about to erupt any second; like an active volcano. Mila was a firecracker, waiting to blow up any second, especially if their family hid a secret from her.

Luciano growled in anger and looked at Riccardo, annoyed that she didn't even know who he was.

"Sweetheart...this is the person you'll be marrying in a few years." Riccardo sighed.

Mila's heart stopped as she stood up, ready to blow up at her father. Luciano gave her a glare and she stopped.

Jk I'm too evil hehe 😈
I could never do that to Mila baby. 😭

"Sweetheart, this...is..." Riccardo scratched his neck awkwardly. "Your oldest brother, Luciano."

Mila's heart dropped. She wasn't expecting that at all. She felt like her world stopped. That's the secret they were talking about the other day, when Mila eavesdropped on Alessandro and Riccardo's conversation.

Luca couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that their family hid a dark secret from him and Mila. He hugged his sister, seeking comfort from her.

Luca shot his dad a betrayed smile and Mila gave him a pained smile. "How could you? Why would you?" Mila asked calmly.

"Baby..." Alessandro started. Luciano stared at the twins, analysing them. His eyes softened ever so slightly as he kept his dangerous facade.

"When you guys were three, I sent Luciano to France for training purposes, so he could take over my company." Riccardo started. Mila rolled her eyes, she knew their 'company' wasn't their only source of income. "He has been training with my brother and some of your cousins. I wanted him to be the best in the business, so I sent him away." Riccardo stared at his food, ashamed of his mistakes.

"Okay." Mila rolled her eyes. "Why didn't we know about his existence?" Luciano smirked at his sister. She was definitely his sister.

"At the time I thought it would be good if he didn't have any distractions." Riccardo muttered.

Luciano clenched his jaw. "An atrocious decision."

Mila looked at Luciano. "Why did you come today?"

Luciano smirked. "Good question. Riccardo thought it would be good for me to meet my family."

Mila shook her head in disbelief. "Just when I was warming up to you, dad and brothers." She spat 'dad' and 'brothers' with venom. She got up and grabbed Luca's hand.
