I needed a roommate so she offered I stay with her even though she wasn't looking for one. Mom must have liked Tricia at first sight because she agreed without hesitation, saying for a young girl to live alone is very dangerous. my mom can be extremely protective when it comes to her kids, but let's face it, which mother won't turn a tigress when it comes to her kids.

Ava p.o.v The tension in the air is so thick it could be cut through, it's so suffocating I almost choke on my saliva when swallowing the lump in my throat. I cough a few times bringing almost everyone's attention to me, each gaze passing a silent warning. Some look would be like keep it down' others is 'don't get us killed bitch' while some are 'are you crazy' kind of look. I walk shakingly around to the table, seeing everyone wary also brought me on edge. I subconsciously take a step back from the table with the three most intimidating men I've ever seen, the arura radiating off them is dangerous enough to kill someone on spot. Especially the one sitting between the other two.

Ava p.o.v What's the worse that could happen, I shudder at that. It's obvious something isn't right.The urgent movement in the kitchen made me pause for a brief moment, my gaze sweep the kitchen then stop on paled Tricia trying to hide behind the counter.I rose a questioning brow at her when she realized it was just me, she place her right palm on her chest to calm her racing heart."Why were you hiding?" I alright I shouldn't have asked mainly because I already know why, she roll her big doe eyes coming out of her hideout. Funny to say it was the big counter that sat in the middle of the kitchen, which was stupid because anyone would easily see her."Don't tell me you didn't see Dario." She scoff, silently telling me she didn't need to be reminded of Dario's presence.I sighed softly, that's one of the many reasons I don't appreciate the thought of having a boyfriend, having to tell him everything and wanting permission and all. Especially one that is Rich, Tricia's state

Vincenzo p.o.v He woke up each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounds and as impossible as it actually was, Happy.And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right or nothing was right for him, by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled, alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt. Alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, He would repeat to himself over and over.I am not sad.As if he might one day convince himself or fool himself, or convince others. The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad.

And each morning he wou

Gripping the spatula I was using to mix the ingredients for pancakes, ready to strike at the intruder if need be. But came face to face with an angry Alex, he looks really pissed and ready to kill, ok I exaggerated. But if I hadn't know him, I would have been scared, the screeching sound of a chair broke me from my daze."You scare me to death Alex." I grunt still panting slightly from the dizziness, returning to my cooking, but turned back to him when I didn't receive a reply.That's when I noticed the dark circles under his eyes and how unkept his hair is, it like he's been running his hands through it.
