You were upstairs in your room, music on full blast, when Liam Luciano— your older brother— reluctantly opened knocked on the door. You debated leaving him out there but decided against that thought with a huff as your voice spoke over the music for him to come in.

You turned the volume down when he stepped inside, glaring at him weakly. Liam might’ve been an amazing big brother, but the only thought that ran through your head looking at him right now was the word traitor. He knew about you and Federico and still agreed with your father’s wishes of keeping you two apart. It was safe to say that you hadn’t looked Liam or Micheal Luciano, your father, the same since and had been putting up an attitude with them for the last few months.

It seemed they were sick of this version of you, because the next thing you knew, Liam was speaking with an unamused expression. “He’s back. I’m assigning Federico to be your bodyguard.”

And you were suddenly sitting up, excitement filled all over your face before his words even fully registered in your mind.
