"Yes daddy!" I heard Arabella moan across the hallway so I turned up the volume of my movie so the babies couldn't hear them although they were too invested in the deck of cards I gave them.

"Who owns this tight little pussy?!" Apollo yelled and my eyes went wide; they both have a great set of lungs.

"You daddy!" she screamed in pleasure.

I gazed down at my pants and sighed deeply at my boner; I'm a man and those two are a walking porn capsule. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing and it was an unknown number from Italy so I picked up because it could be my sister.

"Valentina?" I sat up.

"No..." that voice "Allegra, Mariano."

My mouth went dry as my heart thumped against my chest "Hi Allegra," I got up on my feet and muted the TV "how are you?" I smiled softly; I missed her voice so much.

"I'm fine, Mariano," she replied "I'm calling to ask about everyone because nobody else has picked up the phone."

"Apollo, Arabella and I are in Bali," I walked around my room anxiously "where are you, beautiful?"

A deep sigh left her mouth "Don't call me beautiful, Mariano."

I frowned "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

"How's my family?" she asked.

"Upset," I gazed at the children on the bed "your mom prays all day long awaiting for your return. Are you ever coming back? I've been cleaning up your books every week, I know you hate it when they get dusty–"

"No, Mariano, I'm never going back...at least not like you want me to," I didn't think my heart could be more broken than it already was.

"Vieni a letto," I heard a man's voice and felt my blood boiling.

(come to bed.)

"Dammi un secondo," she replied.

(Give me a second.)

"Allegra, who was that?" I gulped.

"The person who makes me feel alive," she hung up.

I rushed out of the bedroom hyperventilating "Apollo! Arabella!" I knocked on the door frantically "Apollo! Please open–" Apollo opened the door as he wrapped a towel around his hips "Please take the children," my voice trembled as I tried focusing my sight on one thing but failed.

"Mariano, what happened?" Arabella stood up and cupped my face.

"Sh-she ca-called me-e," I felt tears sliding down my cheeks "she was with somebody else! she said he was the person who makes her feel alive..." I fell on my knees "I was supposed to be that person, I–"

"Shhh," Arabella knelt in front of me and hugged me tightly "Give me your phone," she took it from my hands and gave it to Apollo.

I wish I had someone like Arabella, someone who loves me no matter my past. Any other girl would've been furious for the news my sister broke to them and everything that happened that night but she stayed; I want someone like that but at the same time I just want Allegra back.
