Matteo's Pov
"What is he talking about mom" Leo said as they all turned to Selena for an answer
"I did it for our family" she said sobbing and no matter how much l felt sorry for her l couldn't let her tears get to me because she hurt my daughter and that is one thing l can never forgive
"What did you do mother" Elonzo asked menacingly and honestly l was a proud father this is what l've always taught him to never forgive betrayal he could see it in his mother's eyes that she did something unforgivable
"I-l l wanted to protect her Two " l missed hearing her call me by that nickname but now that sink has sailed because all l see when l look at her is the pain my daughter went through for 13 years even though Bella hasn't told me about the abuse l am her father l know everything
"Protecting her by giving her away to someone you hadly know " l said raising my voice because l really don't have time for her nonsense l promised my daughter that l would wa

Rosabella's Pov I've heard that you can't miss what you never had in the first place but when l look at my dad l miss every memory and moments we could have had together had we not been separated This whole week with my dad has been truly amazing even though l struggle with the nightmares of my past but everytime l wake up he is right next to me soothing and comforting me My dad is a man of a few words but actions show just how much he loves and cares for me and for that l'll always be grateful I never thought l would ever say this but l'm seriously bored all l ever do is wake up, eat , watch tv , take a nap , eat, watch tv ,watch dad work then dinner and finally dad and l spend a few hours before we go to bed together then he tucks me in and the same happens the next day Dad says once he sorts everything out l'll be able to go to school and also get to know my family and l can't wait , my last meeting with my brothers wasn't exact
Rosabella's PovHaving a family is something l used to dream of and not even once did l think l would ever have oneIt's been 2 weeks since l met my brothers and l've enjoyed every moment of these 2 weeksMy brothers wanted me to go home with them that day but dad said that he still had to sort out a few things before that happened so l stayed back at the apartment but Alex didn't go back with them because he was really angry at our motherI don't think I hate my mother l actually think that maybe she has a a much bigger reason on why she gave me away because from what l've heard about her, she is good person and even though my brothers say that she was mentally absent from their lives most of their l know they love her and respect herThey probably hate her because in their own way they think that they are defending me and l don't want that"Penny for your thoughts" l turned my head to see Elonzo sitting next to me"When
Alexandra's Pov I've often heard that you don't know what you have until it's gone and l have come to realise it these past two weeks I actually took my brothers for granted and now it feels like l've lost them and l wish l could go back and change some of the things l did in the past but l know that l can't Till date l've always been able to manipulate my brothers with a few tears or a cute pout with some puppy dog eyes but l've turned invisible to them and all them They come home late these days but they always pass by my room and instead of telling me how they love me they talk about how much they wish she was here She took them from me, she took my identity as the only princess of this family and she took my father from me but l'll make sure to take away her mother from her I know that mom loves Rosabella but l have her wrapped around my little finger and poor Rosabella won't even know what hit her I met the Romans and l do
Elonzo's PovA part of me always knew the truth but somehow l refused to believe it ,my brother could never be capable of something so vile but still l chose to stand by my sisterI was so angry at my dad for standing by our cousin and not my sister but now l understand why he didAlexa lied to me and my brothers and we foolishly believed her but we loved her far too much to ever question her so she used our love and trust for her against us and for that l can never forgive her"How could you""I am sorry bubba" she said but l was too furious to listen to her nonsense"Do you have any idea what you did to my family" l yelled and she started sobbing"I am so sorry bubba please forgive me""You intentionally caused a wedge between us and our cousins and also accused our cousin of attempting to molest y
Rosabella's PovToday my brothers have been acting really strange and to top it all Leone and Leonardo came here last night when we had already gone to bed"Dad is everything okay with my brothers" l asked as dad and l were eating breakfast alone because Alex had gone to school and the others were doing their work"I wish everyone was as precious as you are my angelito "dad said and flicked my nose and l whined"You're avoiding my question daddy""Your brothers are finally seeing the reality not what they've been blinded to see""Wasn't there a less sophisticated answer to my question because you've kind of left me more confused than l was" l said"Forget all that princess ,what do you think about starting school next" dad said and l stood up to give him a hug and also a lot of kisses"I can "l asked excitedly"Yes you can princess""You're probably the first person l've met whose excited about g
Selena's PovI was not born in the mafia and it wasn't easy for me to adjust but somehow l convinced myself that l could do itI loved Matteo but part of me always resented him for being a hindrance in my freedom and that's mostly why l was not an atentive mother to my childrenAfter the boys were born they always tailed after their father and l knew they would take after him ,as much as l loved Matteo l knew he was a ruthless monster and l saw the same look in my sons and l couldn't tolerate it especially when l found out l was carrying a girlI didn't want to give away my daughter but l thought l was doing that right thing but now am not really sureStaring at the divorce papers infront of me l feel heartbroken which is something l didn't think l would feelI wanted to be free from this marriage and motherhood and also the mafia for so long but now that l have got my wish l feel like l've lost a part of meI
Rosabella's Pov3 months passed and in those 3 months l got closer to my brothers and my dadAlexander and l attend school together and he was your typical overprotective brother and l liked it that way cause it showed how much he cares and loves meI followed Leone around most of the time because he was always the only one home when l came from school alob since Alexander had football practice almost everyday and we spent most of our time shopping, swimming or at the park and anyway else l wanted to goLeonardo is of course my brooding brother who pretends to be all scarier but his a big softie on the inside because all l have to do is pout or pretend to cry and l get what l want so l pester him a lot because he is always spoiling meI sleep with Elonzo most of the time and l usually wake up back in my room because dad says l'll have attachment issues and l won't be able to sleep without Elonzo but Elonzo tells him that it doesn't matter bec
