Bianca wasn't in support with it till she met her stepbrother. Emilio Rossi, the first child and only son of Alejandro Rossi. Emilio is a good example of introvert, he doesn't talk that much. He only cares about his three little sisters after their Mom abandoned them a long time ago. He's arrogant, hot-tempered and rude. After seeing he new stepsister, he knew that he had to be careful.

I can't believe we are actually moving into stranger's house, I haven't even met this man. I only saw him on mom's phone and it clearly looks like he's not a picture person.
Mom said he is her boyfriend and they have been dating for two years now and he wanted her to move in with his family. They call them the Rossi.
It really hurts that mom moved on after Dad passed away. We actually had nothing, dad tried so hard to pay school fees. He had a car accident when we was going for a job interview in a taxi.
Now, here we are, in this way expensive looking car. Mom said he's filthy rich, like..... Rich with a capital letter 'r'. But I know that's not why she wants him. She even had to teach me etiquette because of this.
It seems like this man is a royal boring freak. We were heading straight to the so-called mansion Mom said we were going. I didn't talk to her since the ride started and I knew she got the message a while ago.
I heard that this man has triplet girls and a son. According to Mom, he's the oldest, he's twenty years old and he's in highschool. What's a twenty years old doing in highschool.
I noticed the part we were following looks weirdly beautiful, it has beautiful grasses by each sides of the road. It's like a magic land.
It doesn't still change the fact that I don't want to be here. I mean, he has three daughters and a son, what does he need me for, what does he need us for. He's wealthy with kids. I don't know what mom sees in this 'man' telling me to endure with, how handsome could he be? It's not like he's an angel that fell from the sky.
Mom kept giving me little glance which makes me feel more uncomfortable. I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me who.
"Are you okay Bianca?" She asked, noticing how upset I looked. I shake my head, not wanting to talk to her. She knows that I don't support the idea of her getting married again, to a complete trillion dollars stranger.
But if she wants to get married, I won't stop her. It's not like I'm gonna wake up in the morning and start making his daughters' hair, or study with his son. That will mean I'm getting attached to them and I do not want that.
We finally made it to a castle-looking-estate-mansion. I don't even know what to call it anymore. I was not expecting this. The place is like time one million size of our former apartment. The fence are made of hard concrete which was obvious, surrounded by guards around the gate with guns in their hands. Is the man an agent or what?
"He is the former head of the Italian military and he owns five oil company here in New York, along with hotels, restaurants, clubs, hospitals and many more" mom explained excitedly.
"Is that why you want to marry him?" I asked. I noticed the driver stared at me through the rare veiw mirror. Mom went silent with a sad face. It was silent till she spoke.
"I love him so much. When I met him rhat day at the Cafe, I had no idea he was rich, he didn't even look like he was. It was love at first sight." She smiled, looking down at her lap.
I feel bad for asking that but mom already knows how rude I am. It was silent as the gates automatically opens. I couldn't even see the mansion because of how spacious the place is.
I noticed there was a field at the left side of the pathway. At the right was a beautiful garden. I also noticed a water fountain with a beautiful sculpted dolphin.
As the car kept moving, my ears could here the sound of chirping birds, it sounded beautiful. I sigh. "This is fucking life" I mumbled. I could feel mom smiling, but I kept my eyes shut.
As soon a we came in front of the mansion, I got intimidated. This place looks like the castle of the British queen. The car came to an halt. I got out of the car as soon as Mom did. She stood next to me as I stare at the place.
I wonder how the inside would be. Mom held my two hands and stare at me seriously. "Remember, he is very strict.....don't be rude. He can't tolerate that, just show some respect. Remember your table etiquettes, the way you speak matters and act like a girl...... please" she pleaded. I rolled my eyes and nod.
She smiled and we both started our journey towards the house. "Wait, what about our stuff?" I asked her. She smiled.
"It'll be sent in. Don't worry" she said. I nod and we continued. We reached the door and a guard stood there, with glasses on, a suited and in character..... scary.
He held his ear piece like he got a call. "Yes sir" he replied before nodding at us, he moved out of the way, mom pulled me and we walked in.
A maid walked up to us and bow at us....her maid dress looks different from the ones I know of. She was wearing a very decent red expensive dress which hugged her curves.
"Welcome Mrs Rossi and Ms Rossi" why is she calling is Rossi, mom isn't even married to him yet. This is annoying.
"I'm s Moretti not Rossi" I said stubbornly. Mom gave me a look which I didn't even look at her. I had a Dad and his name must stand till I get married. Never will I be a Rossi.
The maid looked confused but am I wrong. I'm not gonna give away my last name. If mom wants to, then she can but I can't.
We heard footsteps, heavy ones. Mom and I looked towards one of the four spiral stairs. Mom smiled brightly. I instantly got terrified at the handsome figure.....he does look strict. Who is this man.
He walked towards us gladed with suit. I slowly step back, the maid walked away before he could reach us. He stood in front of Mom and pecked her forehead. I looked at my feet.
I don't know, but this man is intimidating. "Ale.....this is my daughter, Bianca" mom spoke so freely to him. He stepped in front of me, I didn't dare look up.
"Look up princess" his voice alone was commanding. I looked up immediately. He was really good looking, mom really have eyes for men. He had blue eyes. But he scares me a bit.
"Good day, sir" I was shocked at myself.....did I just greet him. Mom was equally shocked as I am.
He chuckles. "You have a very good manner Bianca..... welcome to my home, your new home. Be respectful and you'll be alright, okay?" He said. It sounded like a warning.
I nod my head. "Yes sir" it was fear that was making me to speak this way. I can't believe myself. Mom giggles. Mr Rossi looks at her, finding her giggles amusing.
"Isn't she well behaved?" He asked with a smile on his face. Mom glared at him playfully. "You once said otherwise" he said. I glared at Mom. Did she tell him I was rude? "Laurence" he called.
The maid that was here earlier came out of the hall by the end of the living room. "Yes Mr Rossi" she said professionally.
"Show Bianca to her room" he said. She nods and looks at me.
"This way, ma'am" she said before leading me towards the stairs. Climbing this stairs was another thing. I've honestly never climbed something like this before. My heart was beating, I was sweating really bad.
We took a lot of time before we got to the top stairs, I started heaving heavily. "That was..... something" I said before letting the maid know she can proceed. All the room doors where colored.....it reminded me of squid game season two.
Or is it?
My eyes landed on a black door, I wonder who owns that room. She stops right next to the black door. The door is blue. "This is your room ma'am" she said. I nod to her before she walked away.
"Oh, excuse me....." I called. She turns around and walked back to be. I smiled and looked at the black door. "Whoes room is this?" I asked. She looked at the room.
"Oh, that's Mr. Rossi's son's room, Emilio Rossi" she said. "He's not home right now, he comes home late at night" she added before walking off.
I gulp. What if he's as scary as his father. I open the door and walk in. I couldn't believe my eyes. This is like another house.
As I step into this incredible bedroom, I'm immediately struck by the luxurious atmosphere. The first thing that catches my eye is the stunning round purple bed, adorned with sumptuous silk sheets that look irresistibly soft. I can almost imagine sinking into the plush mattress and getting lost in a great novel.
As I look around, I notice a cozy parlor area with soft, blue fluffy carpet that invites me to sit down, relax, and unwind. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, enjoy a warm cup of coffee, or simply daydream.
But what really impresses me is the thoughtful layout of the room. There's a dedicated study area where I can focus on homework, complete with a spacious desk and plenty of natural light. And when I need to get ready, the huge walk-in closet provides ample storage for my clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Last but not least, the modern bathroom is sleek, stylish, and equipped with everything I need to start my day feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Overall, this bedroom feels like a private retreat – a serene oasis where I can escape the stresses of everyday life and recharge. And there was a balcony. I rushed over to it, opening the window. I could see the city from here. I noticed all rooms has balconies.
I walked back in. Some maids walked in with my luggage. They took it towards the closest that was already filled with clothes and shoes. I sat on the soft mattress and sigh.
I noticed some girls peeking through my door. I looked closely and it was three beautiful girls. They walked in. Their hairs are braided beautifully. I wonder who did it for them. The person needs to do mine.
"Who are you?" The brunette asked. I smiled at her. "Are you our new sister?" She asked curiously.
"Did your Dad tell you that?" I asked. The black headed rolled her eyes.
"We do family meetings. We don't want you here!" She exclaimed angrily. "We have our big brother, Milo.....leave!" She yelled.
"Andrea, don't be like that, she's our sister" the brownies-blonde headed said. Okay, who the fuck her this toddlers and why are they bothering me.
"You girls are bothering me" I try as best as I could not to cuss at them.
"Sorry, I like you" the brunette said.
"I like you too, let's be sisters" the blondy said too.
"Okay???....." I replied. Mom walked in. The three girls rushed towards her and hugged her.
"Mom!" They all exclaimed. I rolled my eyes.
"Hello my princesses, how was your day?" She asked.
"We like her" the blondy pointed to me. Mom smiled at me.
"That's my daughter, Bianca. Bianca, this are your little sisters...." She pointed to the blondy. "This is Arianna" the little girl waved. "This is Alessia" she pointed at her. "And this is Andrea" she held the black headed. The stubborn one. "
You might wanna come down for dinner. Get changed" she said before walking out with the kids. I sigh. I'm already exhausted.
FOUR DAYS LATER After the burial of Bianca's mom, Antonella. It's like a wave of depression fell upon Bianca. She never left her room. Food would always be left for her at her front door. She hasn't come out of the room. Mr Rossi was worried about her. Milo had to keep going to school, but he was worried about her. He knew he had to be with her in these hard times. Bianca wouldn't let him in. Milo's Dad had to promise his son that he would find a way to get her out of the room. Milo had to trust his old man. He took the girl to school. She cut everyone off. Her friends, her classmates, who heard about everything, her teachers. They knew she couldn't answer all those condolences. She would break down. The thing that is bothering her is that she knew it wasn't an accident. She knew it was a set-up. The way her mom spoke to her the other day was like she was saying goodbye in case she didn't make it back. That means someone lured her out of the house just to kill her. Why didn
BIANCA I saw Milo entering his father's office earlier. I wonder what they are talking about. It's been hours, and none of them had come out of the office. I was in my room wondering if he was telling him everything. I walked towards the balcony. I looked to my left when I felt someone standing there. It was Milo. I faced him. I shouldn't do that. I faced back.I gulped. Should I say something? Why is he smoking again? "Can we go to the rooftop?" I asked. He walked into his room, and so did I. I waited for some minutes before I exited the room. I headed straight to the rooftop. I don't know if he's there. The way he walked in was like he had no time for me. I headed up the ladder. I sighed when I saw him still smoking there. I sat next to him. I stared at the stars. He passed me a cigar, and I gladly collected it. I placed it in between my lips, and he helped me to light it up. I dragged in the smoke and puffed it out. "Did he tell you?" I uttered. He sighed. "No. He said he'd t
AUSTINI don't wanna let go, I still miss him so much. He kept stroking my hair. "What brings you here today?" He asked. I pulled away and looked up at him. "Milo," I replied. "He said you were sick. I feel so good right now. He smiled right at me. "So, you were worried about me, kitten?" He asked. I looked away instantly. He followed my movement. He harshly grabbed my face. My eyes shoot up in an instant. "Where you worried?" He asked again in a husky tone. I nodded my head. "Say it," he said. I gulped. "Yes, I was worried about you," I replied. He sighed and ruffled my hair. "I'm sorry about the last time," he said all of a sudden. I was shocked that he could apologize to me."I was never mad at you. You were high that night, I know, the next day...I was just disappointed," I told him. "I deleted the video. I was never gonna post it. I didn't mean what I said. Sorry for threatening you," he said. I hugged him again. He ruffled my hair. My face was on his chest. I kissed h
LAYLAI walked up to Damien, who stood close to the mirror in his room. I slowly walked over. "I'll... " suddenly grabbing his attention. He turned around and stared at me. "I'll be going now," I said. He nodded his head at me. I sighed. "You can go. I don't think I can trust you anymore." He said. He was all dressed up for school. I managed to try to go to his father's office, but it was locked. Now, I may never walk back into this house. "Why are you chasing me, Damien?" I asked cause I was so confused as to why.He walked up to me and sighed. "I'm not chasing you away, Layla," he called me by my name. Not baby anymore? "I'm not comfortable with your behaviour recently. Your father broke my car mirror. I don't know why he looked so familiar. It's awkward." Shit, I think he almost recognized my Dad."I'm so sorry, Damien. I held his hand. "Can you give me another chance?" I asked. I can't lose this mission. He looked at me for some minutes. He's in love. "I'll think about it
THIRD PERSON'S POV **FORESHADOW**Antonella, Bianca's mother was on her way to meet an unknown number that had been disturbing her for weeks now about hurting her daughter if she didn't show up. She's been devastated. She knew she had to protect her daughter at all costs. She got into her car. She didn't tell anyone where it was going. She was threatened not to let anyone know. She drove downtown towards the location her map was taking her to. As soon as she made it to the expressway. The red light hit the traffic light, indicating she should stop. Her phone started ringing. She pulled it out of her bag to see it was Alejandro, Milo's father.Before she could answer the call, a big truck cleared her car from the side, sending it into the air. The car tumbled around and hit the ground. Unfortunately, her car was the only car on that particular expressway. The truck drove off. *****EARLIER THAT WEEK"What was happening here?" Mr Rossi asked his girlfriend. She sighed. "Anton
BIANCA Me and Lucia were in my room. We were so happy about this. I can't believe my sister has been right in front of my eyes. We didn't say a word to each other. "I can't believe your mom would do such a thing to us. When I met your mom, she said she was willing to adopt me and fight for my father's property that was stolen by my step-aunty. I had no choice 'cause I was looking for my only family, you," she explained. I wiped my tears away. I sobbed. So this is why Mom was hiding this from me, because of my Dad's wealth. I sighed. "I recently just found out about you from our step-cousin, Lorenzo. He told me about the death of Dad and who killed him," I told her. "Lorenzo? As in, Lorenzo from my class?" She asked. I nodded. "Wow. Wait, Dad was killed? I thought it was an accident," she stated. I nodded my head at her. "I just found out about that too," I replied. "I'm happy that I finally got the chance to meet you," she grinned. We hugged each other. Milo stared at us from
MILOI stood up from my seat. "Mom?" I called. Her face fell in an instant. She looked at me like I just said the most emotional thing. My mother's name is Geneva Rossi. "You are my mother, right?" I asked. She gulped. "I don't think you should be saying this, Emilio," Mr Marco said. My heartbeat picked up. The lady was dragged away by him. She kept looking at me. I wanted to go after her, but Lucia held my hand. I looked around to see that I'd drawn attention to myself. I looked at Lucia and pointed to the direction the woman went. "That is -" I said. My eyes were becoming watery. "I know. But you need to calm down, okay?" She said. "If she is your mom, the Emilio Rossi standing in front of me right now, she would have held you and told you that she's sorry. But Milo, even if that lady is your real mother, she's not your mom," she said. She's right, Mom is dead. I remembered when she was buried. Should I tell Dad? No, he'll think I'm going crazy. I'm starting to think I am. "S
MILOI stared at the so-called therapist who was seated in front of me. "Good day, Mr Rossi. I heard you're having trouble sleeping," she asked. I didn't say a word. "Could you like, open up to me. I'm gonna keep it confidential." Was she bribed or what? "Why can't you sleep?" She asked. "Why? You wanna sleep with me?" I asked. I eyed the lady and instantly regretted it. Her body was wrinkled everywhere. I grimaced. She sighed out of annoyance. "Mr Rossi, it seems like you don't want to open up to me. It's alright though. I'm just trying to help," she started grabbing her things. I sighed. She is just doing her job and I'm being fuckin rude. "I miss my mother," I spoke. She looked at me. She dropped her stuff. "She always sang me to sleep every night. Ever since she died, I felt like I died too. If I try too, I'll see her in my dreams staring at me and saying she's not dead." This was something childish, but still considered myself a child then. She jotted down some t
BIANCA He came a little bit closer to me. I couldn't look at him. "What are you keeping from me?" He asked. I gulped. "I can't tell you. I'm sorry," I replied. He stared at me for a few seconds. "Is it that bad that you're afraid to tell me?" He asked. I couldn't answer him. I don't want stuff like that coming out of my mouth. "Just tell me..... I won't get angry, " He insisted. I still couldn't. He will get angry, and I know that. He sighed. "I'm not hungry anymore. Take the fucking food and leave. You killed my appetite," he said. I looked at him in shock. "But you haven't eaten anything...." I trailed off. He looked at me with an angry-looking face. "Did you hear what I said, take the food and get out of my room. You're right, I shouldn't trust you. You were just a tool that I used," he said. I felt tears in my eyes instantly. I didn't think he would say that to me. I hiccuped. I grabbed whatever I could and started walking towards the exit.
