Liliana's PoV

Loud footsteps and giddy children made me sit up in alarm. Somethings wrong. "Come on, daddy!," I heard Sophia yell.

Fuck, Vin's back.

"It'll be okay," Valentina said calmly.

"So it's true?," I heard Vin breathe out as he stood in the foyer watching me. I refused to look at him as I stared at the wall in front of me, thankfully with my hair covering my face.

"Babies," Valentina said, grabbing the twins attention. "Go to your rooms and play there, please." They nodded their heads and ran off.

"So it's true?," he asked, this time looking at Valentina. I watched from the corner of my eye as she nodded her head. He looked at me. "So you're not dead?"

Obviously.

I cleared my throat, neatened my hair and stood up. I rolled my shoulders back as I prepared to speak. "I'm not dead."

He let out a scoff as he slowly walked towards me. "You're not Liliana," he said, observing me carefully. "You're a doppelgänger or some shit because she's dead and there's no coming back from that."

Valentina let out a sigh.

Yup, same old Vin.

"It's me," I said confused as to why he's not believing me.

"Fuck you, Katherine or whatever your name is," he spoke. I narrowed my eyes. I guess he's still obsessed with The Vampire Diaries. "I watched Liliana die."

"Vin, I was Elena, now I'm Liliana," I shrugged, probably confusing him even more. It's no lie or secret that he's not the smartest or brightest out of the others but that just makes him, himself and I wouldn't change that for anything.

"I knew it!," he exclaimed.

"Vincenzo, I'm back for good this time," I said softly. He froze. "It's really me."

He stood still for a moment before he grabbed my face and turned my head side to side, examining it. I slapped his hands away. "Don't touch my face! I have no idea where those hands have been," I exclaimed, moving away from him.

A small smile grew on his face. "The real Liliana wouldn't have let me touch her face. I think you've passed the test," he informed me. He let out a sigh, his shoulders slumping before his muscular arms wrapped themselves around me.

"I missed you," he said, hugging me tightly. I wrapped my arms around him.

"I missed you too."

"Don't ever fucking play dead again otherwise I'll fucking kill you and throw your body in the ocean," he threatened. I let out a laugh.

"Don't worry, I plan on staying this time," I told him before pulling away.

He's taken this a lot better than I thought he would.

"Fuck," he laughed lightly. "I don't even know what to say for once and I have so many fucking questions." I let out a chuckle.
