Isabella's pov :

I am trying so hard to be fine but it's been a long two days

"What did I say? I never get a break" I said to summer as we all just stared at eachother in the Dining room

"May I?" Emilio asked raising his arms clearly asking for a hug and I felt to bad to deny it and I think I needed it

I wipe my eyes putting a strong face on again

Then I nod he smiles so bright it makes me wanna smile , he pulls me in for a hug and It did kinda feel right

I can't accept it but I can atleast fake it

I guess escaping ain't really gonna happen anymore I'll have to get out off here more naturally like begging to be let go or maybe they will get fed up of me

Everyone always leaves eventually

"I've missed you." He whispered in my ear and hearing someone say that melted my heart no one's ever said that to me other than summer when I go the shop without her

"I get it , I get why you hate it" he also added and I understood what he meant

He knows why I preferred not to know

"Can we talk?" Alexander asked and I took a deep breath before saying "yeah" gently

I sit down in-between both Alexander and adrain on the sofa not on purpose but it was the only spot left

"They didn't give you up Izzy not by choice, the day you were left there our enemy's the Russians they erm held a gun to our mothers head forcing her too write the letter and wrap you up or she would die along with you and my father aswell " he said and I looked at him shocked

"Why would they only want me to be given up?" I asked and he looked at me suprised I didn't know "your the first girl that has been born in over 3 decades in this mafia"

I squinted my eyes

"Everyone protected you with their lives your cousin's, parent's, uncles and aunts and of course us your siblings"  Emilio finished for him

"Why?' I asked again the main question of the day

Why.

"Everyone wanted a girl because boys were constant and although they loved us all the same they didn't see many girls for some reason in this family so when they did it was special" adrain explained and then I finally got it

"They didn't leave me?" I asked and they nodded

I did feel alot of weight be lifted from my shoulders because of this , I'm so relieved I was abandoned

Yes it still hurts and he's I still suffered but my parents didn't hate me!!

What did annoy me though is that I was in a mafia family

Why couldn't I be normal to avoid all this trouble?

"I'm glad " is all i say with a small smile on my face , then I feel arms around my neck and stomach it was Alexander hugging me I hugged him back awkwardly but once again it kinda felt right

"Our mother would have been so happy" Emilio muttered and they made me smile because I've always wanted a mother shame shes not here

Maybe we'll find her one day.

"Can I go to the back garden for abit if you have too you can come too" I asked them all and they all seem guilty seeing me asking

"Yes you can and I'm coming out too I was gonna go for a walk after anyways" adrain says and summer decided to tag along and then Killian
