Hidden

Chapter 56

Valeriana's pov

My cast was off. I was glad I got it off. It was uncomfortable when I laid on my side. The cast just seemed to be in the way.

"Valeriana!" Aurelio shouts. I jump awake before running out of my room and downstairs. Nazario walked down the stairs behind me.

"It's in the middle of the damn night. Why are you yelling?" Nazario asked. He rubbed his eyes before narrowing them on our older brother.

"Why the fuck are they here? How did they get in?" Aurelio asked. I look to the middle of the living room. Devyn and Kian were watching tv on the couch. I suck my lips into my mouth before biting them lightly.

"Well if I were to guess they are here to watch tv. Also security is not a word in an assassin's vocabulary," I state with a smirk. Aurelio gave me a look.

"No, Valeriana. I'm not using you guys," he says. Nazario looks at me with a smile. I smile at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't tell them to do this to prove to you we are your only option," I say. My eyes float to Miss Wells. I just noticed her on the stairs. "Late night adventures again Miss Wells?" I smirked. Nazario chuckles before clearing his throat. Aurelio glared at him.

"Oh, would you look at the time? I got to get some sleep," Nazario says before walking up the stairs. He stayed around the corner causing me to smile.

"That is not any of your business, V," Aurelio says. I roll my eyes. My eyes go back to my friends. Wiggles is laying in between them.

"Wiggles!" I say excitedly while leaning over the rail. Aurelio pulled the back of my shirt.

"You're not flipping off the stairs," he says. I rolled my eyes before pushing myself away when wiggles jumped up and ran over to me. I pet him.

"Wiggle you betrayed me. We don't hang out with them, they are killers. We don't associate with the likes of them," I say. Wiggles titled his head at me. "Oh don't give me that look. I know I fall into that category," I huff while stomping up the stairs. He follows behind me causing Miss Wells to chuckle.

"Valeriana," Aurelio called out. I turned to him. "Your assassins?" he asked.

"They aren't hurting anyone," I mutter. Aurelio gave me a look before walking up the stairs with Miss Wells. My eyes went to Devyn and Kian but they were gone. I smirk before walking over to Nazario. "It's about to get better," I say. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow. I count down on my fingers.

"Valeriana!" Aurelio shouts. I chuckle lightly before pulling Nazario with me. We peak our heads into the room. Devyn and Kian were sitting on Aurelio's bed. Nazario laughs loudly before walking into the room. I step into the room.

"Huh, would you look at that," I mutter. Aurelio looks at me with a glare. I smile at him before looking at my friends. "Sitting on his bed went a little far," I state. Aurelio sighs before looking at the two on his bed before me.

"Alright, you three are in. I don't even know how they fucking got in here before us. We'll talk about the mission tomorrow. Get out," Aurelio says while looking at Nazario and me. Devyn and Kian slip out the window before Aurelio can notice. He looks back at his bed while shaking his head.

"They'll see you tomorrow. Good night," I say before walking out of the room. Zario follows me. He tells me goodnight before going into his room. Wiggles heads back downstairs sniffing around. Did he need to go out? I head downstairs. The tv was still on but my friends were no longer here. Papà Santorelli walks out of the kitchen. Wiggles sniffs him. That's what he was sniffing out. With a sigh I walk over to the couch before plopping down. Wiggles runs over and sits next to me. Papà Santorelli walks over before sitting down on the other end of the couch. Wiggles was in between us and there was another cushion space.
