That family is filled with nothing but horrible people. The Russos, one of America's and Italy's most opulent families. Everyone fears and respects them. Although they're very well-known, nobody truly knows how dysfunctional that family is. That is, until Lia Hale gets caught up with one of the Russo quadruplets. Eliomar Russo, the oldest, not to mention the heir to the Russo empire.

"The world doesn't revolve around you, Elio," I heard Francesca say to her brother. 

"Can't you just be open-minded for once?" Ellie sounded annoyed.

Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 21! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he?

In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away.
