After staying away from them whole day Florina finally Decided to go to the bedroom. It was quite late and what's bothering her more that they didn't even attend the dinner.

When she got in she saw Sebastian on the couch, he was leaning against it relaxed. He was sleeping. Florina sat down beside him and looked at his Sleeping form. He was in uncomfortable position but was looking in a deep sleep. He was looking so peaceful, nothing like a

The man she witnessed in the morning.

Florina sat their admiring him but suddenly he started whimpering in his sleep. Shaking his head while mumbling something which she couldn't understand. His forehead was sweating too.

"Sebastian, what's happening?..."

She shook him, quite sure that he is having nightmare.

'did something terrible has happened in his life that he is getting such nightmares... Why didn't I noticed this before, was he hiding this from me...'

Florina gently shook him and woke with the gasp making her flinch.

"Are you okay?..."

She asked gently.

His eyes was red and breathing was heavy, he nodded at her wiping his sweaty forehead.

"What was that, are you having nightmares?..."

She asked.

"Not now... Leave me alone..."

He said looking away.

"I understand..."

She said getting up.

"You can't..."

He mumbled and she turned around.

"What?..."

She asked.

"You can't understand"

He repeated.

Not wanting to drag it more she left, he already looked quite disturbed.

She walked towards the garden and saw Vincenzo sitting there alone. He gestured her to come near as he saw her.

Florina sat beside him.

"Why are you always alone, Vincenzo?..."

"Because I like my solitude..."

He answered looking at the sky.

"Why?..."

She asked looking at him.

"I am not like you Florina... I don't like talking to people, making connections and socializing..."

"But that's what the life is... We are humans. That's the fun of our life, making friends, loving each other and everything. Life is beautiful Vincenzo..."

Vincenzo shook his head.

"Not for me, it's beautiful for you because you are living like this since childhood. You were protected by your parents, got all the love you deserved."

He looked at her curious eyes as he said further.

"I wasn't lucky like you, getting born in this high class society was a curse for me. I never thought that one can get so much hate just because how he has born. Sometimes I envy you, you are living the life I always wanted... Carefree and happy..."

"What happened which made your life so miserable"

She asked looking at his sad and hollow eyes.

"That's for some other time..."

He sighed.

Florina gently grabbed his hand making him look at her.

"Vincenzo, I know our relation are not stable. But I will be always there when you need someone to talk with, I won't judge you for anything I promise..."

Vincenzo gave her a small sweet smile.

"I know I have chosen the right girl..."

He leaned forward to kiss her, Florina closed her eyes as he gently kissed her.

Suddenly they both heard moaning. Pulling away from each other they looked the source. Florina's eyes widened as she saw Maria and Stephen kissing each other fiercely, they were almost hidden behind the tree but not invisible.

"Ohh, I didn't knew they are together..."

Florina said looking at vincenzo who was fuming in Anger.

Florina looked at him in confused as Angrily strode towards them.

"You fucker... Stay the fuck away from her..."

He growled grabbing Stephen's shirt and pulling him back from Maria.

Maria gasped in shock as she saw furious vincenzo.

"Vincenzo, please leave him..."

She screamed as Vincenzo punched Stephen.

"Vincenzo what are you doing?..."

Florina yelled but he didn't stopped.

"Maria, go inside... Now"

He growled at her she stood on her ground.

"No, leave him... I love him, what's wrong with you..."

She screamed.

"Love him?... Huh... This fucker, good for nothing shit..."

He spat at her madly, punching Stephen on the face again.

Sebastian who heard all the commotion walked out.

"Leave him you bastard..."

Sebastian pushed Vincenzo away from Stephen who was coughing blood.

"Why the fuck are you beating my man..."

Sebastian growled at him.

"Ask your man what he was doing with Maria... I knew I shouldn't have leave her with you, you can't even protect her from your own men..."

Vincenzo spat madly.

Sebastian glared at Stephen, grabbing him by his collar.

"What the fuck did you do, Stephen..."

"I love him, Sebastian..."

Maria said sobbing.

"You shut the fuck up..."

Vincenzo glared at her.

"Don't shout at her Vincenzo, she is my sister I can take care of her..."

Sebastian growled at him.

"Don't forget she is my sister too... You are not her only brother..."

Vincenzo spat back.

Florina was standing there was stunned listening them.

'They are brothers... How is it possible?...'

"Sebastian, Vincenzo let him go..."

Catherine yelled both of them as she walked in the garden.

"Mom, please stop them..."

Maria Pleaded while hugging Catherine.

"I said let him go..."

She gritted and Sebastian released his hold on Stephen's collar.

"You knew about it..."

Vincenzo looked at Catherine angrily.

"Yes, I knew... And I support her. Can't you see your overprotective behavior is not letting her live her life..."

She said frowning.

"We just want to protect her..."

Sebastian stepped in.

"I know how to protect my daughter..."

She argued.

Vincenzo scoffed.

"It not happening... I can't let her destroy her life by falling in love with the man who has no guarantee of his life..."

"She will... She has a right to love any man she wants. I will support her just the way I am supporting you with florina. You are not my only son Vincenzo, Maria is equally important to me..."

Catherine stood her grounds.

"You are wrong mom... You will regret your decision, Stephen is not a right man for my sister..."

Vincenzo spat madly and walked in.

Stephen wiped his bloody mouth.

"Sebastian I know you are Angry but I love her man..."

"For fuck sake Stephen... Did You only found my sister in whole fucking World. I don't care how good you are in your work, how loyal you are how much you fucking love her... If you hurt her, I am gonna give you the worst death possible..."

With that he went inside.

Maria quickly hugged Stephen.

"I am sorry... Are you okay?..."

"Yeah... Anything for you baby..."

He chuckled.

On other hand Florina was standing there in her own confusion.

'If they are brothers then why they hate each other so much... Catherine is vincenzo's real mother... If they has same blood line then why one is American mafia and other is Italian...'

Only one person could give her all answers and Florina wasn't going to give up until she get her all answers.
