The Don

"I'm not. I wish I was but I'm telling you the truth. I was once in love with an American woman--  blonde. She was everything to me but very disrespectful to my brothers. She especially hated Dario. She didn't like what they did for a living and she made sure to let them know everytime she was around them. Marcellous simply ignored her, Rafael would always threaten her, meanwhile Dario tolerated her only for my sake-- but it didn't last too long.  He killed her the day of her 23rd birthday. She was three years older than me. " Camila was actually crying. She was telling the truth.

"And you're still around him so casually?"

"He's my brother, Kiara." I didn't say anything in response to that. I kind of got where she was coming from. Kind of..

"Non mangerai?"
(You will not eat)

"Non capisco Dario."
( I do not understand Dario) I said still playing with the food on my plate.

"Why are you not eating?"

"I'm not hungry." I sighed pushing the plate away from me

"You will eat."

"I said I'm not hungry."

"Kiara." He said in a warning tone.

I pulled the plate back towards me and forced myself to start eating.

"I have hired a tutor to teach you italian. She will be here tomorrow from 9AM so try to wake up on time for once." He said. I didn't bother utter a response.
------------------------------

"This is useless. I don't know why I need to learn this shit!" I snapped.

"La pazienza è una virtù(Patience is a virtue)"

I was over this entire session. Dario was serious about hiring a tutor for me. Ofcourse he was. He forced me out of bed this morning saying that
I shouldn't be late for my first session. He woke me up at 8:00 when I could've slept for at least another half an hour considering the tutor was coming for 9. In all my annoyance I didn't utter a word to him not even when we were having breakfast. It was just us two at the kitchen table and it was dead silent. He knows how much I love to sleep so he knew exactly why I was annoyed. The fact that he found it funny was beyond me. I would catch him smirking at me during breakfast and I knew that was the reason. Bipolar ass.

"Ms.Dawnes a little patience goes a long way."

"A little sleep too. I'm done with this." I said standing up from my seat.

"Didn't take you for a quitter " I nearly jumped out of my skin, not expecting him to be standing there. Hell, I didn't even know when he arrived at the mansion.

"Marcellous why are you here?"

"Un piacere Kiara.( A pleasure Kiara). It's good to see you too." He raised a brow earning an eye roll from me and I heard him chuckle.

"Scusaci(Excuse us)" he addressed the tutor behind me. She nodded and exited the room with the quickness.

"How are you Kiara?" He asked once we were alone.

"How do you think I am Marcellous?"

"Better I hope."

"I'd be much better if I wasn't in your presence." Truthfully speaking I'd rather be around Marcellous than any of the Romano brothers. He doesn't speak much and when he does he's mostly checking up on me. It's weird but it makes him tolerable.

"I take it I wasn't missed." He smirked making him even more attractive than he already is. One thing's for certain the Romano brothers are good looking men but still all psychotic.
