Bellona- The Blaze of Ice

chapter 14

The dinner was awkward. Though Estian was right, i did like the triplets. They were not uptight, or bratty like their sister. Pretty easy going, and comfortable to talk to. Of course, i kept in mind that they are mafia leaders, but for the leaders of the 3rd largest mafia, they are not scary at all. Charlotte, as i learned her name was, did not like me. She and Alxandre were bad mouthing me throughout. The rest of them noticed it, but waved it off. Except Estian and the triplets, they were scowling at them throughout.  Alvaro and Apollo were always joking around, while Abel was a bit moody, however not like Alexandre or Leander. Their parents, my aunt and uncle would arrive tomorrow. The four cousins had their own rooms here as they visited so often. 

"So Leander" Abel said, clearing his throat. "I need to talk to you about the business. Should we go to your office?" He said, his eyes flickering to me shortly before moving back to Leander. He did not know that i already knew of their BusINeSs. 

"She already knows Abel, we can talk here only" Replied Leander.

"She what?" shouted the triplets in surprise, while Charlotte started crying.All eyes turned to her.

"Why are you crying princess" Alfonio asked in a soft voice, while Abel and Apollo rolled their eyes, and Estian and Alvaro scoffed. Alexandre glared at those two and hugged Charlotte. "Shh stop crying mi princesa. Tell me what happened." He cooed in her ear. I legit had to rub my eyes and pinch myself at that. Is that the same Alexandre?

Charlotte sniffed and said, "Yo-you guys t-to-told me abo-about t-t-the mafia when i was six-sixteen. But but she is ju-ju-just fifteen and you already told her! You don't tr-trust me but you trust he-her. You don't lo-love your sister anym-anymore! Hell, you don't even t-think of me as your sis-sister." She cried out. Hearing this, Alvaro really started laughing, but covered it with cough. 

"She already knows Abel." How the fuck did this girl make soo many conclusions from this one small statement.

Okay Taylor, calm the fuck down. Maybe she is just insecure, maybe past trauma, umm maybe she is very sensitive.Okay, giving her the benefit of doubt here. 

"No no princess, we love you so much. You are the best sister in the world. Taylor already knew before coming here. We were planning to not tell her AT ALL. EVER. Till she proved to be trustworthy. Don't cry." Anthony comforted her. 

Umm hello?! I am still here people!! 

"I will just uhh..give you some privacy." I muttered. They looked up at me for a second before looking back at Charlotte. Anthony even waved his hand in the air, dismissing me. Welp, bed time it is. Only the triplets smiled at me, and Abel even wished me goodnight. Making my way upstairs, i call Ethan. Gossip time.

"I really like the triplets. They are better than your brothers at least. Also, i never expected Estian to be like that, nor did I think Anthony would do that. I had started to like that guy."

"Hmm, same to be honest. Anthony was easier to talk to than the rest. But did i expect them to start thinking of me as their sister straight away? No. I think the triplets also don't like Charlotte. Wonder why." I say, spinning in my chair.

 "Also can i please punch Alexandre when i get there? Pwetty  pwease with a cherry on top?? I promise i won't do any serious damage, okay maybe not, umm i promise i will try my best to not do more than breaking his jaw, can i? Please please please?" Came Ethan's whiny voice.

I laughed at that. Ethan always knew how to make my mood better. "If i haven't already done that by the time you guys come, then the floor is always open for you, my knight in shining amour." Ethan chuckled. 

"Eth?" I asked.

"Yeah love?"

"I already miss you soo much."

"I knew it. I told you, din't i? Ha. I won." I smiled at that.

"And love, i also miss you soo very much. We are going to spend every second together when i reach there, yeah? You won't be able to get away from me, got it Tay?"

"Aye aye captain. Now go to sleep before Martha finds out you are still awake."

"Alright. Goodnight love."

"Goodnight Eth."

With that, i hung up the phone, and jumped on the bed. My thoughts went to father. He had escaped a month ago. Ramirez had not captured him back till the time i was there, not that i know of. I hope he is safe right now. It took me a lot of time, and an amazing plan to get him out of the cells. I smile when i realised that i had unknowingly saved my father. Fate works in a funny way.

I really did not expect that reaction from Anthony. Wait why am i sad about that though? No, this is not happening, i will not let it. They are not just breaking through my walls. No, Taylor, you can't. They will hurt you again. 

Okay, from tomorrow, the emotionless bitch is back.

I was broken from my thoughts by the opening of the door. I immediately sat up, thinking of the possible dangers. "You not asleep yet?" Came Alvaro's voice. Oh, it is just him.

"No, was just going to." i reply with a smile.

'So much for emotionless bitch' Came Brittany's voice.

'I said from tomorrow'

"Okay, well i just wanted to say that we all missed you, and are really glad to have you back."

"Thank you, i think." I reply.

He smiled, "Goodnight Taylor"

"Goodnight Alvaro."

He switched of the lights and went away.

Darkness engulfed me, as i drifted off, looking forward to tomorrow.
