A long lost spanish girl who discovered most of her life was a lie.
That is until her 'parents' tragically died in a accident one night. They leave their daughter with un answered questions that only one particular family has. Follow along as this s...
To nosey people whispering around me in what I'm guessing is a bedroom. What a great welcome to New York. Note the sarcasm.
"Ugh, I really hope she wakes up soon." "She will if you keep on yelling!" Someone whispers in response, "And?"
I slowly started to open my eyes to face two boys looking out a big window in the room.
They have their backs turned towards me. "Um... good morning ?" I state. The two bodies snap, turning to me instantly. "Hello" the blonde one states "Good morning, little one." The brunette says.
After a moment of awkward silence, the brunette speaks again.
"I'm Gabrielle and this i-" I'm Claudio it's wonderful to see you" the blonde interruptions while giving me a faint smile.

"Ah, I see, you probably already know this but, Theodora Clarence." They both share a look before turning towards me again. "Would you like to have breakfast right now, we can talk about this um... arrangement right after if so?" Gabrielle says.
"Uh, that would be nice. I'll get changed first" I say while looking down at what I'm wearing now. My same outfit as yesterday, huh, The 2 boys must have noticed because Claudio then said "You were too tired whenever you got here on the plane, so I carried you here to your room. And none of our female maids were there currently, so we had to let you sleep with that on." "That's alright." I respond. "So Uh yeah we'll leave you to that then." Gabrielle finishes. As soon as they leave the room, I get a better look at my room. It's simple. It has a closet, and it has a bathroom as well. I'm gratefull really.

As soon as I'm done, I search for my backpack that has the majority of my clothes in it. I picked out a new hoodie I got a month ago. And then get in the shower, the minute I feel the water on my skin I feel relieved, as if all my worries are getting rinsed and washed away. I grab a towel from the bathroom and start changing into my clean clothes. Then, right on cue, as I'm fixing my hair for today, someone knocks on the door. "Yes?" Oh, it's just Claudio. "Are you ready?" "I guess." "Ok, well then let's go." He said, giving me a reassuring smile. Even though I don't let him see what I'm feeling, I guess it's common sense to be nervous meeting your new "family" or whatever. We walked down these rich - looking stairs.

And into this big dining room with an extravagant kitchen. I'm not even exaggerating. Wow. Everything is way more fancy than my room though. But empty and not home like ? While I admired my surroundings, I felt eyes on me. Great. I slowly turned my head to look at the table better. Oh, only Gabrielle is there, probably for the best. "Theodora, please take a seat" he said. "Ok"
After a very awkward dinner later I end up in a home office. I'm guessing it's Gabrielle's. He's sitting in front of me, one desk in between us.
"So first, I would like to discuss the rules." I nod, he continues, "1. Don't sneak out, we have many people who would take advantage of that. "Of course." I get that.
On that note, rule number 2. is we must know where you are at times." uh huh." Oh, and you must get approval from one of us. I lift one of my eyebrows in response. "It's as simple as that" he adds, seeing my expression still without emotion.
Ok, I won't push it anymore. "That's fine." "3. Please get good grades, you don't have to be a genius, but one of the reasons our family name is known is for being smart; I know you're already no less than that."
"Congratulations, by the way, on your award last month." "Thank you." "Wait what award?" Claudio asks from one of the corners of the room. I almost forgot he was here.
"Thea got an award for straight A's for the first quarter of the school year" Gabrielle responds with amusement in his tone. Oh, yeah, whatever... wait, Thea? He just called me Thea ...wow. And he just met me, though it's not like I mind.
"What! Congrats." "Thanks" I say.
They must think I'm a snob by now by how there are no signs of happiness or any emotion in fact. Oh well, too bad. Maybe I'll get to know them and then possibly let them in. It's what my parents would want.
"Rule number 4. Please don't interfere or interact with us while at home unless we interact first." "We often have to deal with work even while at home, ok? Nothing personal. "Ok." "Please respect us unless one of us shows a reason not as well. "Yes."
"Okay now this last rule is a little dumb, but it's spoken when you're spoken too." I then noticed he rolled his eyes.
"Uh, that's going to be challenging for me." I say, leaning back in my chair.
"I get that, so when it's just us it's not required but when we have company like, for our business, then it is. Are you ok with that? He asks softly.
He and soft don't seem compatible, honestly. But what do I know? "Yes, that would be great." I say, looking down.
"I honestly have talked more than what I do in 2 days" I mutter under my breath, but they hear because now I hear two soft chuckles. My eyes widened but they can't see. "By the way don't unpack we're leaving in 3 days." WHAT
