Chapter 18

EZEKIEL'S POV

I felt my heart drop as soon as I saw my sister lying in a pool of her own blood. This can't be happening, we just got her and she can't just leave.

I rushed to her and held her small frail body in my arms. There is so much blood. He face looked so pale, like a ghost.

I brushed my knuckles softly against her cheek. She was so cold. Blood was pouring from her mouth, down to her chin and into her clothes.

It looks like she threw up blood. Why would she throw up blood tho? Unless she's injured and has internal bleeding. That's the only explanation.

I started caressing her hair softly while I thought about what happened in the dining room.

How dare Giovanni say all those things about MY sister. Our sister. I know what he was trying to do. He thought that if she hated him it would be easier to get over the pain if something happened to her.

But, it's actually the opposite. If something did happen to her we should cherish the memories we have and pray for her.

I never felt this much rage as I did in the dining room. My blood boiled as I recalled what he called her and said to her.

The expression on her face said it all. She was hurt, so hurt and devastated to hear her brother say and call her all these mean things.

When dad said that we had a sister that we didn't know about I was skeptical at first. But when I saw her picture all those doubts and negative thoughts were thrown out the window.

She looked so much like us. Like Alexander. She looked so much like him they could be twins if it wasn't for the obvious age difference.

I could see Alexander was the happiest since he was the oldest and because she looked like him.

When I looked at her I felt a connection with her. That connection that you have with one specific sibling.

And I was proven right when she arrived.

She's quite, shy and doesn't talk much. I also noticed she likes to observe those around her.

We have so much in common. And when I found her reading in the library and that she has a full bookshelf in her room I felt ecstatic.

We're more alike than I thought.

But I also noticed that she's tense and stiff all the time. Like she's preparing herself for something or someone to jump and attack her.

Her eating habits are poor and the small portions aren't healthy. She's also too skinny and pale for someone her age.

I suspected something at first but shrugged it off. But the signs were too visible.

I must admit tho. She's a good fucking actress. Not all my brothers noticed but the older ones did along with dad.

Now seeing her lying in the medical wing with a breathing mask on her felt like I was stabbed and it made me feel like a shitty brother.

Now the only thing I hope is that she wakes up and lets us help her.

ANTONIO'S POV

I felt enraged at what Giovanni said to my princess.

I was fucking pissed. Sure I was hurt when she flinched and thought that I was going to hurt her but I understand that we're all new to her and that she doesn't trust us yet.

But obviously something else happened. The way she's stiff all the time or the way she's always looking around like someone is gonna jump on her doesn't sit right with me.
