"And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain crossing out the good years. Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet."
- My tears ricochet by Taylor Swift.I walk into the estate, pissed of after the stupid little argument I had with Luca. He knows that I'm not going to cheat on him, so I don't know why he makes a big deal out of Silas hugging me.
I go up and into Silas room, moving his night stand to the side and I get on my knees, softly moving my fingers against the wall. I feel a small bump on the wall and press my fingers softly, a door compartment opens and inside was a vault.
I grab my phone out and text Silas asking him for the code and he sends it to me. It opens and inside was a Manila folder. I reach in and pull out files on men, the families and some images, I then close it back and close the compartment, placing the nightstand back to its spot.
When I turn around looking at the bed there is a gift bag, I sit down and open it to reveal a lipstick and a box. I open the lipstick to see it's a usb and roll my eyes at the irony, furthermore I open the box to see a heart locket, the outside had a beautiful small pearl and vintage design, it was all pure gold.
I open it and inside was a picture of my mom, but she looked so young and the background was the city of Venice. She had her dark hair blown by the wind, and a smile that reached her eyes. I close the locket and put it on, inside the box was also a small note that read;
I know your mom passed away when you were young, in the moments when you needed her the most. I was with Salvatore the other day, cleaning through old stuff in one of the storage rooms and there was a box full of your moms belongings. Inside was a picture of her and I took it without Salvatore noticing. I thought of just giving you the photo but then I realized that perhaps it would mean more if it were in a locket. That way she can be with you wherever you go. I hope this gift brings you beautiful memories of her.
And at the bottom his name was signed. I fold the note and place it in my pocket, then grab the files and the gift bag. I walk out of the estate and go back home.

Once I walk in I see Andrew with Cynthia, they both stare at me, but I chose to ignore it and walk past the living room and up to my room.Once I'm in, I close the door and lock it. I lay down thinking of anything to get my mind off the argument with Luca, Andrew with Cynthia, my father, everything. But there's one thing that I can't get out of my mind and it's Liam telling me he thought he had a mole, if someone was giving unknown information then who knows what they knew about us, our locations and much more.
I grab all my stuff and walk out my room locking my door. I head quickly towards the front door when I hear Cynthia call my name.
"Alessia, it's nice to see you. Wanna join us and watch a movie?" She says softly
