Alice

CHAPTER 31

ALICE ROMANO

Walking down the stairs I see Arthur speaking on the phone I smile at him he comes to me kisses my forehead and hugs me.

"you are looking gorgeous cara" he COMPLIMENTS me 

"thank you Arthur"

"I will be back in two minutes " he says and leaves again speaking on the phone

I go to the kitchen to drink some orange juice. Ava helps me and gives me a the juice making me sit on the barstool.

I drink the juice chatting with Ava. 

When the front door opens Ava leaves and I am giving myself a pep talk, preparing myself for this dinner with the stranger. I admit I am a little afraid of people who I don't know.

A few minutes later Issac comes in "Come in bambina the guest has arrived Ace is asking everyone to be there" 

"yeah ok, I will be fine" I say  I whisper to myself at the end

"I promise bambina I will be there with you all the time if you are not comfortable after meeting him I will take you to your room" he says. I hug him 

Him yeah right he happens to be a male.

I get moving to the living room Issac following behind me eyes on his phone. We enter the room I look around and see All of the brothers and father are here except Arthur.

 Ace sees me and gives me an encouraging smile.

The strangers back is facing the door. I take a deep breathe and walk in 

"Mr. Bianchi this is my sister Alice" he says and the stranger turns to me 

Oh my God. San is here. I can't believe this 

My eyes become blurry making me know that I am crying he stands up.

I- I can't believe he is here so fast I mailed him this morning and he is here.

My brother, my protector who helped me through so much 

Someone clears throat making me move forward. 

"S-San" I whisper 

he comes to me and hugs me I cry in his arms 

"What the hell stay away from my sister " Alex shouts 

We don't break our hugs 

Arthur comes and pushes San aside making me fall in the process 

"Alice" all of the people call my name while San is just looking at me 

"Sweetheart" he calls me a few seconds later I look at him 

"What in the world is going on here" Arthur says as he was

"can you please get up sweetheart" San says standing a few feet away from me. 

I stand up and smile at him 

"you  didn't change you are the same brave girl sweetheart" he says smiling at me 

"Don't call my daughter sweetheart and stay away from her" Father shouts at San 

"Yes dad is right stay away from our sister" Alex says 

I look at Alex and I can't stop my tears. What is going on, why are they behaving like this

Ace comes forward "is this the one that we spoke about in the morning" he asks

I nod. Ace turns towards San he hugs him

"Thank you for being there for her while we couldn't" Ace says 

"she is my sister too I will always try to be there for her" San says 

I go and hug him 

"bambina what are you doing he is not your brother we are" Alex says 

"No he is my brother too Alex" I say still holding on to San

"no he isn't you are our sister we have same blood, same father and same mother remember" Arthur says making San scoff 

I look up at him. 

"I don't understand why she is fine with everyone except me? She is fine with the business partner and Jacob. But she is throwing tantrums when she is around me making my sons go against me" he says 

Everyone stays quiet  "it is all because she doesn't remember you and even if she does it is about how you pushed her out of the house. She doesn't like you or trust you and you deserve it" Noah says 

"No I don't deserve this, yes I know sending her to her mother was not a good decision and I did regret it and went to get her and I was trying to reach her trying to find her all these years, even if she was at fault" Father says

"Excuse me for interfering but I don't think sending her to your ex-wife was not a good decision but it is worst you have done to Alice and even now I can see you are like her I can't believe a person like you how dare you think a little girl was at fault " San says in a dangerous voice I tighten my hands around him 

"Who the hell are you to speak to me in such manner boy don't forget who you are talking to and where you are standing at" Father says

"It is my house dad" Ace says

"Ace" Elijah warns 

"No one will speak in between or else there will be consequences I am warning everyone who is under me" Ace says 

"I can speak whatever and wherever I can to whoever it is and you boy leave my daughter this instance" Father says

"I will not leave my sister if she doesn't want me to" San says 

"ALICE ROMANO" Father shouts making me flinch 

"Don't you dare shout at her and she WILL do anything she can who are you to stop her" San says 

"she is my daughter and she will listen to me now, I have been quiet for too long I will not tolerate this now" he replies

"Your daughter did you forget she is your daughter when you threw her out of your damn mansion and what even are you tolerating Mr. Romano she is the one who is tolerating parents like you and your ex wife" San says 

"Don't compare me to that woman and whatever I have done was in the heat of the moment" Father says 

"I will compare you to that person and why shouldn't I after all the sufferings you caused my sister" San says 

"I didn't cause her any sufferings I just sent her to her mothe-" Father says 

"Sending her to your wife is what caused her to suffer and don't call her Alice's mother" San shouts 

"San calm down" I whisper

he kisses me on the head and whispers "No sweetheart"

"She is my ex wife but she is also her MOTHER I don't understand what you are trying to prove here that I have cheated on the mother of my children" Father shouts 

"No I am not trying to prove anything and I don't care about you Mr. Romano to scheme against you " San says 

"Then what do you want to say I have never in my time of marriage cheated on the mother of my children and you here are trying like Alice to turn all my children against me, if this isn't some sick plan of yours what is it" Father asks 

"That women was abusive towards her everyday till she disappeared with Alice" San says

My ears start to ring "what " I say and loose my consciousness
