Camellia

“Camellia!” My sister’s voice is warped with worry as she cries out my name. Not even Santino can keep his grip on me when she throws herself at me in a hug that makes breathing impossible. “I thought they killed you. They wouldn’t let me see you, wouldn’t tell me where you were.”

My heart thunders in my chest, proving my state of life.

Eliza shouldn’t be here. Out of everyone, she’s the one I didn’t want to come here the most.

She’s worth more to this family than I am. Worth more to the man who has easily broken down my walls. Who has stolen my heart.

Despite knowing that, she still came here. Even if she thought I was dead and meant stepping into her own doom, she still came.

My eyes feel wet, and the jealousy I felt in the pit of my stomach about her taking Santino’s attention leaves me feeling terrible. I should know better.

“Rocco–”

“Fuck him.” She growls the words and squeezes me tighter. Her words grow muffled against my hair. “Don’t even think about him.”

When she releases me from her grip, she steps back to make sure I’m not missing a single hair on my head. As her eyes lower, her relieved smile morphs into a scowl at discovering the mark on my neck. She looks at Santino without even a hint of fear. Funny enough, her rage matches his.

“You motherfucker. What did you do to my baby sister?” She doesn’t even ask to confirm it was him, she balls up her hands and swings.

A gasp flies past my lips when she hits him.

There’s a flash of anger that passes his expression when her fist makes contact with his jaw. He’s quick to grab her wrists, stopping her attempt at punching him again. Despite the swell of his chest and the scowl on his face, he does nothing more than hold her in place.

“Little bird, tell your sister to fucking relax before I lose my patience and snap her wrist.” He gives me the warning through grit teeth, growling when she kicks him.

She technically is the reason our moment in the bedroom was interrupted. My body still aches to finish what we started. He literally popped my cherry, and that was as far as we got. He’s been in a foul mood since.

“You did not give her a pet name.” She curses at him when he doesn’t release his grip. “What in the hell did you do to her?”

Funny enough, I don’t mind the name. He’s never used it to mock me or my situation, not with malice. If anything, it’s a reminder of what I’d have to go back to if I ever left this place. My home is nothing but a cage. Locked away in my room without permission to leave unless my sister begs my brother to allow me to eat meals at the table with them. The only time I get fresh air is when I’m enjoying the view from my window.

Sure, I don’t want to imagine Santino rescuing me from that life, but he’s not hurting me by keeping me to himself.
