A new home - II

Evelyn was ready for the day. She was dressed in a black half sleeve shirt to her elbows and a black and white checked pants. Her shoes matched her outfit and she wore gold jewellery.

It was time to make an expression and she was not going to risk anything.

"Holy shit," she sighed and rubbed her hands, "I am living at Alessandro's." The most dangerous family.

Her head snapped up at the knock she heard at the door. "May I come in, ma'am?"

"Y-yes, please." She mentally slapped herself at the stutter.

The maid from yesterday, Agatha, her name, walked inside with visible approval in her eyes when she saw Evelyn dressed up.

"Would you like to join us for breakfast?"

Evelyn nodded and Agatha led her out. The house screamed that they had money. Not only that, it screams that they have old money because it was a mixture of vintage and modern style in one.

Har house was no less but just because of the people inside this house she felt a lot more intimidated.

They entered a room and Evelyn stopped at the entrance. It was the dining room and there was only one woman sitting at the right side of the head which meant that she was Alexis.

The Lady of the house.

"Good morning," Evelyn whispered out and Alexis slightly jumped.

"Oh, good morning," Alexis replied with a small smile on her face but her forehead was creased slightly, "are you Bella's friend?"

"Bella Rosa?" Evelyn gulped, "No, I am not."

"Oh," Alexis closed her book. "Um . ."

"She is the girl who I was talking to you about a week ago." Evelyn jumped and stepped out of the doorway. Behind her stood Angelo. "She is going to be staying here for a year at least."

"Ahh," Alexis nodded, "wait when did she come in?" Alexis looked at Evelyn and then pointed to the seat in front of her.

"Last night."

"Why did you not tell me?" Alexis argued.

"Because you were sleeping." Angelo replied without any shame. "I did not want to wake you up and that's it."

That's it, my ass. Alexis made a face as she repeated it, making Evelyn giggle.

"Anyway," Alexis cleared her throat, "I heard what happened to your father. My condolences, child." She reached over and placed her hand over Evelyns. "Take as much time as you want to grieve and if you want therapy do not hesitate."

Evelyn gulped and nodded hurriedly. She felt her eyes gather moisture and over what was happening. Never had she expected the lady of the Alessandro family to be so empathetic, compassionate and just nice.

Agatha walked in and after that two kitchen maids carrying the food entered and placed them over the table. The meals served the boss whereas instead of getting herself served Alexis served Evelyn first.

"Thank you." She whispered out.

Loud footsteps made her slightly annoyed. Who was it that did not know how to walk? She could hear their footsteps on the stairs from the dining table.

A boy near her age entered and went directly to Alexis, "Good morning Mama!"

"Good morning my baby," Alexis kissed him back.

"Good morning papa," the boy sobered up when he was Angelo but he still had a dazzling smile on his face.

"Good morning kid," Angelo's voice softened slightly.

The boy's eyes moved from his father's figure and landed on her before widening slightly.

That was when Evelyn realised who he was as she was already watching him.

"Marcello." Evelyn set as pointed a finger at him.

"Evelyn." Marcello did the same.

Alexis glanced at both of them and even Angelo looked up. "Oh, so you know each other?"

"Hah!" Marcello laughed, "pretty well I would say. Papa, how did you like the wine collection I brought you?"

"Good, why?"

"Evelyn gifted it to you." He winked, making Evelyn gape at him.

"Ah," Angelo placed his newspaper down for a minute as he looked towards evelyne, "You have a good taste Evelyn. I appreciate it."

"Okay," she hurriedly whispered. Angelo D'alessandro just appreciated her!

She turned towards Marcelo and narrowed her eyes on him.

So she had already met one Alessandra sibling. How bad will the other two be?
