Stefania POV
I was sitting on the couch when suddenly my phone dinged with a text. I was confused as I looked at it to see a text from Anastasia.
A Bettany:
Open your damn door bitch
I rolled my eyes as I stood up from the couch and slowly made my way down the hall towards the front door. I didn't really know why she was here, but I assume that it's either because she's bored or because they are dropping Aurora off to spend the night with me.
I slowly opened the door not bothering to look out to see who was all there before seeing Anastasia with Aurora. Aurora was grinning like a mad man as I looked at Anastasia.
"What do I owe this pleasure?", I ask as I looked at Stasi and she smiled a little.
"Florence has to film all night tonight for night shoots and I have meetings all day tomorrow. So I was hoping that I could drop Aurora off for the night and a hanging out with her Auntie day tomorrow", she says and I nodded as I let Aurora walk inside.
"Yeah that's fine with me, I have no plans tonight", I tell her as Aurora walked further into my house, probably to find Winnie.
"I hope I don't ruin any lovely dovey dates with a certain blonde, but I'm sure Aurora would be fine with her coming over. Florence may have slipped up and told her that Lizzie is in an open-marriage, she's not as hurt as we all thought she would be", she says and I nodded.
"Does she know about us?", I ask quietly and she shook her head as she responded, "That's for you two to decide, whether or not you'd want her to know".
"Okay, well I will text you tomorrow when I can come steal my daughter back. She hasn't had dinner and kind of asked for pizza before I told her she would be coming here. So she might ask you for that, so good luck. Love ya and see you tomorrow", she says before I shook my head as she walked back down my patio to leave.
I shut the door before locking it and making my way down to the kitchen. Winnie and Aurora were both laying on the floor looking at one another.
"So mama said you wanted pizza for dinner?", I ask and she snapped her head in my direction whilst smiling.
"Yes I do, but we can have something else", she tells me and I shook my head.
"I think tonight deems as an Auntie/Niece date night, so why don't you go bring your bag up to the guest room and we'll go buy the necessities to make homemade pizza", I tell her and she jumped up before racing out of the kitchen.
"CAREFULLY AURORA MAE. I DO NOT WANT MAMA OR MOMMY TO KILL ME", I yell which caused her to giggle.
"This one is going to be the death of me tonight, but I am glad that she's here. Because now I can spoil her without any form of implications", I thought to myself as I looked to see what all we'd need for pizza night.

Elizabeth POV
I came home just over three weeks ago, and throughout these past three weeks my life feels way different. In a kind of fucked up way I guess I can say..
Robbie wasn't overly happy with me when I came back home, so I ran off to New York for a little to kind of lessen the arguments we had been having. I went mainly because of the new film, but also to just not have to be around him.
I didn't really understand the narrative of these fights, why he started them, why he did what he had been doing. I was just thankful they never turned physical, we'd fight for hours over in my honest opinion the most ridiculous things.
I knew that I did nothing wrong, I went to Italy for the holidays and we aren't even married. He's acting as if I am doing something to harm him. Yet he was the one that cheated, that had an affair not me.
Well, I thought the arguments would be all over by now. I figured he would've calmed down, but then I heard shattering in the kitchen from my room.
I sighed as I got out of bed to go figure out what was happening. I knew he was home, he hadn't really left. I wasn't sure if Rachel finally left him, or if they are fighting and that's why he's being a dick to me.
I stretched a little as I walked towards my door. I was fearful of the reasoning for whatever he broke, I was also fearful that today would be the day he got violent with me.
I slowly made my way out of my room, trying not to set him off as I made my way towards the stairs. I slowly and carefully walked down the steps as I kept hearing things get thrown.
I hadn't heard anything shatter yet, so maybe the thing that shattered is what set him off. I got off the last step and took a deep breath as I walked into the kitchen to see him now sitting on the floor holding his hand.
I looked around to see things that weren't mine broken, or shattered. I looked and saw a little puddle of blood which instantly made me panic.
"What the actual fuck happened down hair Robbie?", I ask him and he lazily lifts his head.
I noticed he was paler than my thighs can be in winter, so I was slightly panicked more. I quickly walked over to him, but not wanting to startle him I walked slower.
"I... I...", he manages to get out whilst I grab a clean kitchen towel from the drawer.
I gently handed it to him to put down on his obviously cut hand. He nodded a little as he pressed it onto the cut.
"I was angry, I needed to blow off stream and then the one thing cut my hand open. I fell the ground and things fell", he says as he looks at me with fear stricken eyes.
"Why are you so angry lately?", I ask and he sighed a little.
"I just... I regret ever meeting Rachel. I lost you because I was an idiot and now I see you so much happier than I have ever made you and I guess it made me angry because I never could make you that happy", he says as he looks down and up at me.
"I do... I do genuinely love Rachel and I guess I'm scared that I might fuck up what I have with her, like I fucked up with you and now I am angry with myself. But I stupidly was taking it out on you when you didn't deserve that", he then says as he went to stand up but lost his footing.
"Robbie, you've lost a lot of blood. I'm calling 911 and then I'll tell Rachel to go to you. I think if you love her more than you loved me that you won't fuck this up.", I tell him and he just nods a little.
"How are you so sure of this?", he asks and I gave him a look as I dialed for an ambulance.
"Yes I need an ambulance to *address*, my roommate sliced his hand open and currently has a kitchen towel pressing onto it. But he has clearly lost a lot of blood, his face is pale and he is unable to stand", I tell the dispatcher as they inform me an ambulance is two minutes out.
I thanked them and hung up as it wasn't a huge deal, the ambulance would be here momentarily anyways.
"I know because of the way you talk about Rachel, the way you are with here. You never cared for date nights with me, but you do for her. So truthfully Robbie, I am more than fine with you telling her you love her. Tell her your fears and your regrets, I am sure she loves you as well. And don't worry about me, I have Stefania whom loves me as I much as I love her", I tell him and he just weakly smiled.
