SERENA POV
Not so long ago me and Alexander got into an argument, he still hasn't apologized and he's upset that I haven't apologized.
Even though I didn't do anything wrong.
I heard that we are going back to Italy soon and I'm not excited.
I'm afraid for what awaits be back at home, Alexander isn't the best when he's mad
Especially when he's drunk and that phone call proved it.
I have the strange fear that one day he's going to get too aggressive just like how Maria got too aggressive with me and Silas.
He wouldn't hit me, right?
My thoughts are cut off by the sound of my door opening, Silas walks into the room looking quite drained but when she sees me a fake smile plays on her lips.
"You okay?" She asks.
I swallow the lump in my throat before answering. "I don't want to go back to Italy." I tell her.
Her smile drops, she furrows her eyebrows and sits down on my bed. "Why not."
I chew on my lip as I stare down at my covers.
Silas taps my leg. "Hey, tell me."
I look back up at her and sigh. "Alexander." I whisper.
Her mood immediately changes, anger evident in her expression.
"What about him?" She questions.
Should I tell her? I mean of course I know I can tell her everything but
she would quite literally murder him if she knows.
Shit just tell her.
"I'm afraid Alexander is going to get too aggressive with me, like hit me." I whisper the last part.
"If he ever fucking lays a finger on you I swear I will chop off his fingers and shove them down his throat and up his a—"
"Okay, okay." I cut her off.
She sighs. "Serena, you need to drop him." She tells me
"I'm afraid he'll do something."I tell her.
She grabs ahold of my hands. "You deserve someone better serena."
I sigh. "But when Alexander isn't mean I feel safe around him."
"If you felt safe around him you wouldn't have been questioning him putting your hands on you or not." She tells me.
I start to think about what she says and let it sink in.
She's right.
"Find a nice guy serena, aren't you and Camilas brother Carlos texting." She asks.
I furrow my eyebrows. "How do you know that."
"Camila and I talk..." she glances around the my room. "A lot."
I giggle. "Yeah, we have."
As I start to think about Carlos my heart flutters, catching my off guard.
I place a hand over my heart and stare wide eyed at Silas who chuckles.
"Do you possibly think.. that I'm falling for Carlos." I ask her.
"Yes." She says bluntly.
My shoulders fall. "Isn't this kind of like cheating?"
She rolls her eyes. "That asshole deserves it, plus I much rather have you be with Carlos than Alexander."
I hum. "It's kind of weird considering we have a brother who's name is Carlos."
She shrugs. "Give him a name."
I start to think of names but can't think of one.
"Carloco." Silas says.
I sputter out a laugh as she chuckles.
"What about... carlito?" I suggest
She bites the inside of her cheek and shrugs. "That could work." She nudges my shoulder. "You like carlito." She teases.
"And you like ramiro." I tease back.
She rolls her eyes. "Oh come on, I love the dude." She says, pausing when she realizes what she said.
My mouth makes a 'o' shape as I stare wide eyed at her. "Wow."
She runs a hand through her hair with closed eyes.
"Fuck." She whispers.
I place a hand on her shoulder with a smile. "You found someone you love, I'm glad."
She shrugs "yeah.. he's coming with us back to Italy." She says. "Along with Manuel"
I hum. "That's gonna be a fun ride."
"Yeah." She sighs.
"Oh shit, how's Rocco." I ask her.
"He's doing good, he's still.. rocco" she says.
I giggle. "At least he's okay."
She nods.
"You know our conversation has switched like at least four times." I tell her.
"And we kept up with every single one of them." She says.
I chuckle.
"Hey we should get packed, we're not leaving until later but always good to be ready." she mutters.
I nod in agreement.
"Time to go back to shitaly." I say.

ALEXANDER POV
I sigh as I stare down at Serena's contact.
She hasn't called me since I popped off on her, and if I'm being honest
she's being dramatic.
She didn't call me or text me and blamed it on spending time with her family.
Little does she know after the call I hacked into her messages and saw her texting some dude
named Carlos.
They've been flirting.
I will not lose her to some new guy, I won't allow it.
She's mine. And she knows it.
The door to my office opens, revealing my father.
I sigh, placing my phone down onto the table.
"What is it father?
"How are the plans going, son?" His russian accent melting off his tongue as he speaks.
I lean back in my chair, letting out a sigh. "Not good."
He gives me a disappointed look. "What did you do now."
"Let's just say, many names were called." I tell him.
He shakes his head. "If we are going to try to take them down we need you to get closer to them." he says.
I roll my eyes. "As you told me many times, father"
"Don't tell me your falling for her." He says.
I stay silent as I stare at the wall.
He slams a hand on my desk, causing me to look at him.
"I still want to go with the plan father, shes not that important to me." I tell him
"What if she's telling her family about how your treating her,
I've heard a lot about her family, they won't hesitate to kill you, son." He says.
I roll my eyes. "They won't touch me, I guarantee she only told her sister, Silas."
I watch as my father tenses at her name.
He shakes his head "Be careful with that one, your mother did a lot to her. Just imagine
what she'd do if she found you your Maria's son." He says.
I smirk. "I am my mothers son, no?"
My father smiles. "Indeed."
