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
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
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
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 watched as Milo welcomed the lady in. It looks like the truth is finally here in front of him. "Emilio, you shouldn't welcome a stranger into the house," his father warned. "I'm his mother. I'm not a stranger, right Mimi?" She smiled at him. Milo stared at her with a blank face. Milo isn't even looking shocked or something. He just looks amazed. I wonder how he's feeling right now. "What do you mean by mother? I don't have a mother," Milo spoke. The lady's face fell. "What do you mean by you don't have a mother?" She looks angry right now. "It's me, mommy," she chimed. Milo stepped back a little. She looked at the girls and smiled. "My girls," she stepped closer but the girls stepped back in fear. "Dad, I'm scared," Alessia said. Angela held them and, that's when Geneva glared at her. "I said, I'm their mother," she gritted out."I said, I don't fucking have a mother," he repeated. I don't understand why Milo is saying this while his mother is right in front of him. "My
BLAKELY There's no way I did that. I don't want to go to jail. I fucking don't want to go to jail. I pace around my room. It's all Bianca's fault. I didn't do anything wrong. I sighed. I don't want to join my brother in prison. My phone beeped. I grabbed it to see it was a message from Emilio. I relaxed a little. [Let's meet up. I want you,] he texted. I smiled at the message. [Sure, where?] I texted back. I waited for him to reply. After it was marked read, he started typing. Another message popped. [I'm right in front of your house. Come out,] he replied. I quickly put on my shoes and headed downstairs. "Where are you going?" Mon asked angrily. I cleared my throat. After what happened between Bryan and Beck. They've been keeping an eye on me in this house. "Oh, Emilio is taking me out," I said the truth. Mom and Dad like Milo, so they don't have a problem with me going out with him. "Just Emilio?" She asked. I nodded my head. She sighed. "He should bring you back before midni
BIANCAI 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. Acco
BIANCAHonestly, this place feels safe and cozy. I took a quick shower in my luxurious bathroom...... or should I say en suite. But one thing I reminded myself is not to get to comfortable.I don't still agree with all this people. I don't need a big brother nor little sisters. I'm an only child to the Moretti family. I actually got used to the stairs. It was long but I didn't actually care a bit anymore cause I realized it was just stairs. I noticed the living room has CCTV but the upstairs doesn't. Weird.I walked towards the living room but no one was there. I saw a maid. "Excuse me, please where's the dinning room?" I asked."Oh, its this door ma'am" she pointed to right opposite the kitchen hall way. I opened the door and walked in. All eyes fell on me.I walked towards a free seat, ignoring Mr. Rossi's glare. "We were waiting for you Bianca" he spoke. "I lost my way here, I'm sorry" I replied. Mom was shocked when I said I'm sorry."I'm sure you learned etiquette. We don't sh

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
