CHAPTER TWO

AURELIA FARIS BLACK

I nervously scratch my arm when Alessandro informs me that we're about 4 minutes away from my new home. I was asleep during the entire plane ride. I only woke up when someone honked during car ride home.

" Stop."

I look at Matteo. He looks at me.

" You're drawing blood," he says, gesturing to where I was scratching my arm. I fold my hands back into my lap. " Don't be nervous, they're excited that your back."

I reply with a soft smile. 

I look up when we pull up to a massive gate.

My eyes widened with shock. This place is gorgeous. Something straight out of a google image. A vintage yet modern feel. A well kept front yard with perfectly trimmed plants. A mansion stood in front of me.

I hear chuckles coming from Alessandro and Matteo but I don't care. I let my jaw stay down and my eyes wide.

As if it wasn't confirmed before, they are hella rich.

" What the hell do you guys do?" I don't let my eyes leave the gorgeous plants we drive past.

" We own several successful companies" Alessandro responds in a rehearsed manner.

I watch as Alessandro gracefully parks before I follow Alessandro into the house.

I start to fidget with my sleeve of my shirt when I step into the house. Where I found three men all waiting near the doorway. They all look up on sync, it was honestly kinda creepy.

I awkwardly stand there giving yet another smile. In which I receive a few smiles back.

" This is Aurelia Faris Black, our sister" Alessandro says fiercely which I would've laughed at the dramatics if I wasn't practically shaking with nerves right now.

" Hi- I'm Nathaniel your brother." he tries to hide his stutters although everyone can hear it. He looks even more nervous than me which honestly helps settle my nerves a little.

" He's 26, second eldest bro, " Matteo finishes for him as Nathaniel froze and is beaming a very happy smile. I giggle at this. " I'm 20, sadly the second youngest guy here."

I watch as Alessandro raises an eyebrow to the guy leaning against the wall who doesn't seem the happiest to see me.

"Im Lucien," he grumbles and only continues when Alessandro keeps his gaze steady on him. " I'm 23, it's good to meet you." he drags out before letting out a evident eye roll. I inspect his simple outfit choice, he has a plain white t-shirt on with grew sweats. He looks me up and down back but in a judgemental way instead of a simple up an down.

My eyebrows slightly furrow in annoyance but I quickly mask it up with a smile.

" Ignore him hunny." Matteo says, giving Lucien a ' are you serious' type of look. I blushed a bit when I heard the pet name. Is this what it's like to have brothers? What it is like to be cared for? I internally cringe when I realize how cringey I sound.

" Aurelia, I am so happy you are here, we missed you so much" a guy from the corner suddenly interjects, making me shift my gaze to him. " I'm Alec, the youngest before you and Hera came" he says with a sparkling smile.

I smile a bit looking between all of them. Maybe it's not going to be so bad here. I greet them all back in the most polite greeting I can muster, in which I think Lucien said something among the lines of ' great a another Hera'. I'm not sure since he basically muttered it under his breath.

So what I gathered is that either Lucien is just a major asshole or that he and appearently Hera are both assholes. I wonder who Hera is-

" Oh my gosh, is that her!?" A excited voice echoes through the hallway where a light blonde girl stands with honestly really pretty light brown eyes. Before anyone even confirms that its me she bolts towards me.
