"Get away from me..you useless child!" Your mother slapped your face and pushed you hard on the floor.

You gently touched your swollen cheeks, wincing as you looked at her. She shouted angrily, her frustration boiling over as she hurled the flower vase to the floor.

"If not because you're the child of that man, I already ended you" This should be the happiest day of your life—your birthday—but her words cut deeper than any beating. You open your mouth to respond, but the sudden ring of the doorbell interrupts you.

Your mother went downstairs leaving you on the floor. After a minute, you heard several loud noises.

You wanted to take a peek of what was happening but your body was to weak to move.

Later that moment, you heard several footsteps going upstairs. You forcefully moved your head and your eyes saw three unknown men standing infront of you. One man named Sergio in his late 40's and 2 dashing bachelors who were named as Dante and Mikael. They were all wearing expensive black suits and all of them looked dangerous.

"I'm sorry if I'm late, mia figlia" Sergio kneeled carefully carried you out of the house. You were too tired to respond but you felt safe for the first time.

Before your eyes shut...you heard your two brothers spoke.

"Don't worry our sorrellina... we'll make sure they won't hurt you ever again" Dante, your older brother said coldly.

"And we'll make sure to avenge you in the sweetest way" Mikael on the other hand, played his gun and smiled darkly.

....and then your eyes finally closed.
