My morning goes by without a hitch as Guilia and I spend three hours on the phone with Kylie, half of that time she is bantering with one of her brothers or screaming for her mother when one of them teases her.

It is a memorable conversation as we try to find a suitable way to teach the She demon a lesson while Kylie navigates the craziness which is her life. If I knew I could have a life similar to Kylies’ I would long for it. But that is never going to happen, so I enjoy just listening as an outsider and by the end of our conversation, Kylie, Guilia, and I have a solid plan.

Guilia and I skip breakfast but Leonardo has other plans when he walks into my room around 12 and carries a shrieking Guilia away.

I’ve just done my make-up when Salvatore’s name flashes on my screen, “I was beginning to get worried.”

“Hello Miss Capello, I have just ARRIVED, at the Manor.”

“Perfect timing, I’ll be right down.” I click my phone off and grab my heels. This time I am prepared for the lunch, with a cream flirty but respectful dress.

My bare feet rush down the stairs with my heels in my hand. And just before I land on the last step, without thinking I run and throw myself at Salvatore who instantly grabs my waist.

“We have lots to do.” I smile but it drops when I see his grave face frozen on something to my right.

I turn and see two angry faces, one belonging to Marco and the other my brother. In an act of self-preservation, I run toward my brother and throw myself at him too, and like I predicted, he holds me and loses his anger, thinking I am just happy. Which is not off the mark.

I am very happy.

“You are extra bubbly, did sleeping next to Guilia rub off on you?” He asks holding me at arm's length.

“Maybe.” I play coy and Filippo smiles, shaking his head.

I give a still evil-eyed, Marco a small acknowledgment which he answers by storming off to his man cave, slash library.
