    “What do you have in mind?” Ezio asked, shaking his head at me.


    “I don’t know what to think, Ezio. All I know right now is the fact that I need to think. If I tell Enzo about


    what I heard, the man is not going to believe me, he is not going to look at me, he won’t spare me a


    second thought, and I know that he is going to ignore every word that I tell him.” I said, and he sighed,


    running his hands over his temple, knowing that he understood well enough the mistakes that could go


    wrong in this. They were countless, and I didn’t know how things were going to be.


    “You need to understand that he is going to put you in a hard spot. You speaking to Enzo about this is


    only going to put you in a doubting spot, and trust me when I say that this point is going to be an end,


    and it won’t be or you alone. You are going to end up harming Ashton,” he said, making my heart ache.


    “He is going to be living the lie until…”


    “The truth is often uncovered in its own time. You don’t need to interfere for it to being out. But


    what you need to do is be patient for it do so. You speaking, you being angry, you showing your anger,


    you are only going to end


    up…”


    ”


    “The woman broke my home and life for a lie, Ezio. Yes, I always was in love with Enzo, I will not lie


    about it, but the man looked at someone else because she imed to have carried his child…”


    “Then he is going to be the one to find out about it. If you tell him, you are going to give her the chance


    to hide it. If he had a paternity test tampered with before, then you are going to allow her to do it again.


    The truth doesn’t hide for too long, that is something that you need to understand, he is going to find


    out about it. Him finding out about it from you, regardless of you knowing, regardless of you hearing of


    it first, you are ONLY going to harm yourself, sister.” He said, repeating himself again. I looked at


    Ashton who entered the room.


    His eyes were bright as he ran inside with a butterfly in his hand. I didn’t even understand how he


    managed to catch the little insect. The little thing flew the second he opened his hand, and Iughed,


    shaking my head at him.


    “Now I am curious about how you are nning on sending it back outside. You know, you have it inside


    the house


    now.” I said, and heughed.


    “We will give it food, flowers, and she is going toe to them. We will free her when she goes,” he


    said, and I shook my head as a small smile yed on my lips. The smile made his


    eyes brighten when he saw how happy I was. Little did he know was the fact that I was burning inside


    with the number of things that I had in mind. They


    were countless, and I knew that even he didn’t deserve to live though.


    His eyes met mine, and I took his hand in mine, gently kissing his palm. He smiled as he looked at me,


    and I ran my finger over his hand before he took a step back.


    “Go and freshen up, baby before you get dinner. And don’t tell mama that you don’t want to eat, you


    have to get


    1/3


    A


    something to eat before you to sleep, baby,” I said, and he pouted, making meugh.


    “Come on, Ashton. You know that your mother is right, you being stubborn is not going to get you


    anywhere, little one. You are going to need to freshen up and we are all going to eat. We are all hungry


    and we are all waiting for you.” Ezio said, and Ashton nodded. He walked toward the maid as to take


    him to the bathroom


    I looked at my brother, and put his hand on mine, gently squeezing it for me. I looked down at his hand


    and he sighed, not saying a word, my chest ache and he smiled softly.


    “I know that you are scared and I know that things are messed up, but you need to be patient, sister.


    You are going to need to understand that thing’s are not solved over impulsive actions, and you are not


    going to…


    “I know what you are going to say, Ezio, but things are moreplicated than that. I know that Enzo is


    not going to want to hear it, but he has been raising the boy as his own, and he is not to me. Alonso


    is a child, he was put in this situation, but Katherine, how could a woman be that cold?” I asked,


    shaking my head in question.


    “She is the same woman who tried to me you for burning the Estate with her son in the house and


    many innocent lives, ria.” He said, making my heart drop to my stomach. “If Enzo can’t see it, ria,


    you are not going to be able to show it to him. You are not going to be able to prove something to him


    that he doesn’t want to see or


    understand”


    “Things between the two of you ended a long time ago. You are going to need to understand that he is


    not going to want to get back to you, not like this, sister.” He said, and I looked away from him as I took


    a deep breath.


    “You know that I don’t want to get back to him, Ezio. Yes, I love him, but the way he let go of me.


    He took my hand in his and gently kissed my knuckle, letting his lips linger there as he stopped me.


    Mom walked inside as he was doing so, and I sighed as he pulled away

    “You are my sister, my life, and I am not going to allow anyone to hurt you. No matter who they are, but


    thest thing that I want is for YOU to put yourself in a rough situation.” He said, getting up from the


    couch. He cupped mom’s cheeks and kissed her temple as he reached her before he walked toward


    the door.


    “What are the two of you going on about?” Mom asked, “I find myself curious?”


    “We were just talking” I said, getting up from the couch. “I’ll see you at dinner, mother. That is, of


    course, if my son and I are wee on your table, if not, then I am more than willing to leave…”


    She wrapped her hand around my arm, stopping me from leaving the room, and I looked at her, waiting


    for what


    she was going to tell me


    “You are being strange, and I am curious about the reason. However, I will not ask questions. I would


    rather not fuss myself with your nonsense.” She said, and I looked away from her for a moment. “I just


    hope that you don’t drag yourself and your brother to the ground. Because I believe that you


    understand that no one is going to be


    around to protect you”

    “You know well enough, mama, that I never waited for anyone to keep me safe to begin with.” I said,


    watching as she let me go. “Excuse me, I have my son to check on.”
