SIX HOURS, that's the longest I have slept without a nightmare in a long time.
I always get nightmares of my past nights. That's why I don't sleep.
The plane goes down as it shakes slightly from the turbulence.
I squeeze my eyes shut taking deep breathes till the jet stops shaking.
The jet is filled with men chatting quietly between themselves as one picks back up some cards placing them into his pocket.
"Come on, let's go to the car." Valentino says as he stands up putting his hand out to pull me up.
I stand up not using his help as I just look at his awaiting hand in confusion.
Why is he trying to help me I can get up perfectly fine.
We walk out of the jet to see 3 black cars with lots of security standing around.
Getting uncomfortable, I stand closer to Valentino and I think he senses my discomfort as he places an arm around my shoulder.
I am not too comfortable with him either but at least I know him more than the other guys here.
As we sit in the limo, I ask the one question that has been roaming my mind for a while now.
"Why are there so many people with suits around us?" I question seeing them shouting outside between each other and getting into separate cars.
"Well you know how we own hotels, restaurants and clubs." Valentino says and I nod. "We have lots of enemies so we need to have security but don't worry nothing will happen it's just a precaution." He states. While I nod and look out the window at this place.
"How long till we get to the house?" I question as I lean my head on the headrest already exhausted.
"Only 1 hour till we get home then you can meet your brothers." My dad states using his phone with one hand.
I don't really remember his first name so I guess I'll just refer to him as my dad for now.
I love car rides because I never get to sit in a car. My mother always made me walk everywhere while she took the bus.
We didn't have a lot of money as I was the only provider in our old house and I would've forced to give it all to my mother.
I used to work as a librarian so when it wasn't busy I used to use the computers to learn different languages when I was bored.
I could sense Valentino looking at me as I played with my hands bored out of my mind.
"Do you want to play a game on my phone bambola." He asks taking out his phone. (Doll)
"Umm... Yes please." I hesitate as a small smile falls onto my face.
My mother never let me touch her phone and the first time I did I was only 7 and she made sure to leave a mental and physical scare deep enough for me to never forget.
"Here let me show you how to play." He states showing me the screen.
The whole way home I played the game addicted to it I won 10 rounds before we got to these big black gates.
I looked up from the phone as I saw there were 2 guards in front of the gate with big guns.
Automatically, I single back into the seat warily looking around for others with the same type of weapons.
"What's wrong amore." Dad asks concern laced in his voice. (Love)
"Umm why do they have guns." I ask innocently, pointed towards the guards as I look back towards Valentino and my new dad.
"Don't worry bimba, they won't hurt you. They are my guards, they are here to protect us." He says showing me a smal reassuring smile. (Baby)
The driver rolls down the window and begins talking to the buff guard as the gates begin opening I look out the window to see a beautiful house.
No mansion.
It's fucking massive.

"These guys are crazy rich." I whisper out to myself but as I turn to look at there faces I can tell they heard from the smirk on there faces.
"We are rich amore." Valentino states emphasising we. "It's your home and money to now caro. (Love, darling)
I look down embarrassed as my dad gets out of the car.
"Come on Liliana, your brothers having been waiting all day for you." My dad reminds me as my nerves add onto the embarrassment.
What if they don't like me? What if they don't want me? Fuck I hate when my subconscious takes over my brain.
Well bitch maybe if u stop focusing on me you would not feel nervous.
Shut up and go away.
Fine.
After my conversation with myself, I start getting out the car. There is no point thinking about the what ifs - I will be meeting them in a couple minutes anyway.
"Wow." I gasp as I look around, my father and brother both chuckle behind me as I stare at the house.
"Take a picture it will last longer." My brother cockily jokes amused by my reaction.
I roll my eyes as I snap out of my shock and turn to them both.
"Can we go see my brothers now." I say nervous "let's get this meeting thing over with." I say to myself.
"Okay, come on let's go inside." Valentino says leading me to the door.
