Chapter 8: Chapter 4

The missing twinsWords: 11953

Isabella POV

"We're home", says Tobias, unbuckling his seat belt.

I got to say, the mansion is huge, my mansions are big but compare my mansion to this mansion, I got to say damn.

The house

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah, damn is the word", says Mars, opening the door for me.

I get out and get our suitcases for the back of the car. We walk to the door. I see Tobias smile at us and then go back to a cold expression.

He unlocks the door and walks in front of us leading us to what I guess is the living room.

"We're here", he shouts.

The moment those words left his mouth, footsteps came running towards us. I see the first boy out of breath then the rest follow. I see three boys, two of them look identical twins while the other one is just smiling at us, well one of the twins is also glaring at us. He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Well that's not my problem it's not like I want to be here either but I just have suck it up.

Mars pushes me behind him, protecting me from them but don't' know- wait I do know why, it's because they glaring at us and Mars doesn't like it when people glare at me.

I think Tobias notices the tension because then he says: "Hey how about we introduce ourselves, oldest to youngest."

"I'm Xavier", he says.

"Hi, I'm Xander and he's my twin brother but he grumpy all the time, so be careful", he says, pointing at Xavier.

"And I'm William but y'all can call me Liam. Hope y'all like pranks", he smiles.

He's too cheerful for me but he likes to put pranks like Mars. Mars loves putting pranks on people.

"Well, I'm sure you know but I'm Isabella and he's Marcello.", I say pointing to Mars. "Also if I'm not mistaken there's two brothers missing, where are they?"

"Well Lorenzo is at work but he will be here later at dinner and River doesn't live with us, he travels around the world.", says Tobias.

I also know someone named River who works as an assassin for every mafia. He's untouchable because of that but whenever my inner circle has a hard time we ask him for help. He's good so one time I asked him if he wanted to just be in my mafia but he said he was already in one so even if he wanted to he couldn't.

"Can I go now? I promised my friends I would meet them at 4:45 and it's currently 4:31.", says Xavier in a bored tone.

"Yeah, just be back for dinner.", says Tobias.

He walks Mars but as he walks fast me he calls me a "puttana". I have to hold on to Mars because if I don't. Oh dear, he could be so fucked up right now. I don't think Tobias heard and if he did he didn't let on. (Translation: Whore)

"Okay, um... Liam and Xander why don't y'all give them a tour of the house", says Tobias. "Nico, will take your suitcases and bags to your rooms."

William nods and takes Mars hand and tries to get mine but I shake my head. "I don't like people touching", I say. Only him and sometimes Mars and Alex. He looks hurt by what I said but I don't want to have a panic attack right now. Xander glares a little at me, but I don't mind. I got used to people glaring at me.

"Okay, we'll start with the first floor, since we're on the first floor. This is the kitchen, the maid cooks for us on the weekdays but on the weekends we cook. Also the maids don't clean our rooms. Lorenzo said that we have to clean our own rooms because it will teach us how to be organized and responsible for our things."

Good, I thought they would be spoiled rotten like the kids from tv shows. Where the kids think, they're all that but they're not. After that he showed us the gaming room, the indoor pool, the gardens- they have 5 gardens in different places of the mansion- and then he took us up stairs and showed us the library, and another gaming room.

He continues to put Mars and I walking behind them. The color of the walls are dark gray. He says that our rooms are on the second floor and that they are from oldest to youngest. I'm guessing that on the left side of the hall are the four oldest rooms and on the right side are the rest of us. He leads me to the door that has my name and Mars is in front of the door that has his name which is to the left of me.

I walk into the room and the color of my color is dark purple. I got to say it looks nice and pretty and they put shelves with books. OMG and a white rope swing chair with pillows. After I finish checking out the room, I go to Mars and it looks like his style. The video games, the  black color, nice.

I go back to my room and see my suitcase and bag on my bed. I hate unpacking but I have to. I open my suitcase and start thinking where I can hide my weapons, especially my guns. I look in my closet, I mean it's big and I won't buy a lot of clothes so the extra space is where I will put my weapons. I take the clothes I brought with me and put them in the closet. Now the suit with my weapons will go under my bed, they won't look there. Just as I start to get my laptop from my backpack when I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in", I say, putting my backpack on the chair.

"Hey, dinner is ready", says Tobias, in a sweet voice.

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit.", I say, putting on fakest smile.

He nods and closes the door. I put my laptop on the desk, I'm not worried they'll enter my computer, even by hacking it will take a long time and I doubt I'll take a long time eating. I leave the room and start heading to the dining room. I see Mars already at the table, and there is also a chair that no one is sitting at so I of course sit there. I sit next to whoever is going to sit at the head of the table.

After a couple of minutes, Xander enters along with his bitchy brother Xavier. Xander waves at us while Xavier just glares. Lucky for him he sat in front of Mars and Xanders sits on the left of him. After they sat down Tobias and another person who looks mean and cold come in and who I'm guessing is Lorenzo the don of Italian mafia. He looks nothing like Laura, he has black hair like Mars and dark blue eyes like me. He sits next to me, of course he had to sit at the head of the table. Just my luck. After Lorenzo sits the maids come in and start serving on the plates. I can see Xavier still glaring at me and Mars but again I don't mind.

"Is there something on our face?", asks Mars coldly. If it were me I would have said it more nicely

"No, I'm just looking at how ugly you both are", he smirks.

Mars growls and I hold his hand to calm him down a bit. "Well if we're that ugly, then we do you keep staring at us", I say bitterly.

That shut him up real quick, he didn't say anything after that but it did look like he wanted to says something.

"That's enough", says Lorenzo. "Let's eat in peace."

The maids served us pasta but a lot. I can't eat a lot unlike Mars. Laura and John did starve us but Alex gave us a lot of food when we would go to his house and when I says a lot, I mean it. Sadly my eating habits have not improved yet but I'm glad that Mars has.

I only eat half the plate and push the plate back. I want to go back to my room but I have to wait for Mars to finish. After waiting for a bit he finishes so we both get up and I'm about to leave when Lorenzo says, "You didn't finish your food, sit back down and finish it."

"I wasn't that hungry and plus I ate half of it. At least I ate some of it.", I answer.

"She's properly one of those girls who only care about being skinny.", says Xavier, not looking up from his plate.

God, I want to punch him in the face. How can they live with him.

"Xavier", warns Lorenzo.

"What, I know I'm right. Which look at her, she's nothing but bones.", he says, as it was a normal thing to says.

"If I were you, I'd watch what I say in front of Mars. He has anger issues.", I smirk. It's true, he punched a guy just because he was looking at my butt. There was another time when he beat another guy for just walking too slow. I walk upstair to my room and close the door behind Mars.

"Δεν μου αρέσουν. Απλά κοίτα πώς μιλούν για σένα. Οι άλλοι δεν τον εμπόδισαν καν να σου πει αυτά τα λόγια." he says. (Translation: I don't like them. Just look at how they talk about you. The other ones didn't even stop him from saying those words to you.)

"Είναι εντάξει, αυτά δεν με βλάπτουν πια, ούτως ή άλλως αλλάζω θέμα, θα μιλήσω με τον Άλεξ αν θέλουν να μετακομίσουν εδώ. Θα είναι πιο εύκολο να βλέπετε ο ένας τον άλλον παρά να ταξιδεύετε ή να βιντεοκλήσεις μπροστά και μπροστά.", I say, laying on my bed. (Translation: It's fine, those don't hurt me anymore, anyways changing topic, I will talk to Alex if they want to move here. It will be easier to see each other rather than travel or video call back and front.)

"Okay, well, I'm going back to my room. Te queiro Bella", he says, getting and closing the door after him. (Translation: I love you.)

I take out my laptop and see that I have five emails from the mafia. Ugh, I should just retire, it's too much work. I see two are from Alex and the other three are from Anna, my secretary. She manages the companies that I own like the KIAH (Kids in abused homes), or B&L (the store that me and Lise created. It's a clothes store).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex

Alex: The Germans canceled

the meeting when I told them

u weren't coming. Don't know why.

Alex: Pls answer Bella.

That was 45 minutes ago.

Me: I will have a chat with

them in a few days to

find out why. Also we

landed safe and sound.

Alex: That's good, anyways

I been thinking about

moving to Italy. We can

buy a mansion near you.

Me: That sounds good,

it would be easier

for all of us. Well I'm

going to bed.

Alex: We both know that's a lie. (=

Me: Whatever, night.

I move on to see what Anna emailed me.

Anna

Anna: Hi, Bella you don't

have plans for this week .

Anna: Almost forgot, you and Lise

have a meeting with Aurora

Romano next saturday.

I'm guessing I have to travel to USA again. Most of my men are in Spain, I should live there too but I can't for obvious reasons and all of my men don't know I'm a Romano, they think my name is Isabella Garcia. I kept my name, I didn't feel like changing it.

Anna: All the companies are

doing well but we are rescuing

for kids and there's not a lot

of space felt in the mansion,

should we start sending the

kids to the other mansion?

Me: First go to the kids that

have been staying there the

longest, check if they have

other relatives that will take

them in. After that see if there

space if not then yes send them

to the other mansion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After I finish I close the computer and put it on the nightstand and get my phone and see it's 9:43. I get off the bed and go into Mars room. I knock on the door and I hear a "Come in, Bella"

"Hey, can I sleep with you", I say, getting comparable in his bed.

"Yeah, oh... hey, do you need your sleeping pills, I bought them just in case you forgot them at Alex place", he says, taking out the sleeping pills bottle.

I nod and take the bottle from his hands, I take two pills and swollen them dry. After a couple of minutes, I feel sleepy so I close my eyes and darkness comes in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I change Lorenzo to Tobias, Hope y'all okay with it. Sorry for that.
