The abandoned girl

The next morning everyone was down in the dining room sitting at the dinner table but one person. Evelyn. "Is she still asleep?" Matteo asked. "I'm not sure." Antonio answered. Alexandro sighed before getting up and headed up the stairs.

He knocked on her door but received no answer. He opened it and walked in to see her curled up on her bed sleeping. The stuffed animal he had gotten her tucked tightly underneath her arms. He sucked in a breath before walking quietly over and sat on the edge of her bed. He rubbed her back, trying to wake her up.

"Evelyn.. It's time to get up." He mumbled. She sighed heavily before stretching and slowly sitting up, hair messy and eyes tired. She reached up to rub her eyes but ended up getting scolded. She yawned before making her way to her bathroom. Alexandro took that as the sign to go downstairs.

Evelyn decided to wake herself up by getting in the shower. She stripped herself of clothes and turned the shower on. She left a towel on the marbled counter and took her hair down. She couldn't help but look at herself in the mirror. Fat. Is what she thought. How can anyone love this? Was all that she could think.

She sighed before getting in the shower, her tense muscles relaxing as the hot water cascaded down her shoulders and back. She tipped her head back, her hair getting soaked in the process. She shampooed and conditioned her hair with the Vanilla shampoo and conditioner before she washed her body.

As soon as she was done she turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing her towel. She dried herself off before slipping on her robe and made her way to her closet. She quickly put her undergarments on before slipping on some jean shorts and a light pink cropped tank top.

She brushed her hair and left it down. She also grabbed a flannel and put it over her outfit and slipped on her slippers before making her way downstairs.

She walked in and twelve eyes darted towards her. She shifted uncomfortably under all the stares she got before she slowly approached an open chair in the middle of Antonio and a boy she didn't recognize.

Once she was sat down Antonio immediately started putting food onto her plate seeing as it looked as if she wasn't going to do it herself. "Thank you." She mumbled, Antonio almost had to bend towards her to hear it. He nodded before turning back to his food.

Evelyn was eating a biscuit when someone cleared their throat gently. She looked up and immediately met Matteo's eyes. "How do you like your room?" He asked. She finished chewing, "I like it." Was all she said. He hummed.

"I want you to meet Henry, Giovanni, and Kai." Matteo finally said, gesturing to the boy and two intimidating men from before. She waved before going back to her food.

Evelyn wandered around outside in the garden lost in thought. She could barley remember when she was a toddler, her brother's and her used to run around this garden. She shrugged a bit before going back to softly touching all the roses.

It was when a guard rushed towards her, looking out of breath that startled her. She looked at him slightly concerned. "Are you okay?" She asked. He nodded, "yes. I was told to fetch you." He said. She nodded, though she was deeply annoyed. She followed the guard all the way up to her big brother's office.

He opened it making her walk in, her eyes narrowed and her arms crossed. Once the guard left thats when she started going crazy.

"Sul Serio?! 'Vai a prenderla', davvero? Cosa sono? Un cane? Sono sicuro che I'inferno non sembri!(Seriously?! 'Go fetch her', really?? What am I? A dog? I sure as hell don't look like it!)" She snapped. "Watch your tongue." Alexandro said. She ignored him and continued.
