Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Lorenzo's POV:

"Come on princess. We gotta get you dry up now." I say to my one year old sister who I just gave a bath and refuses to get out.

I grab her in my arms and pick her out of the bathtub, laying her on the towel which is stretched out on the baby table. I dry her gently with another towel before putting her clothes for bed on.

I pick her up and give her a chubby kiss on her cheek to what she laughs her adorable small laugh.

"You did so good bambina. Let's get you to bed hm? I bet Alessandro misses his twin already." to what she claps her chubby hands and speaks in her baby language.

I lay her in Alessandro's crib where he already waits for her and they immediately cuddle each other very closely. I smile softly at the picture of them together before putting the blanket over them, giving each a goodnight kiss.

"I love you both so much" I whisper to them before turning the nightstand light on and leave the room.

I make my way to my parents bedroom before knocking on the door, hearing a 'come in' I walk inside and see my mother and father getting ready for their night out.

They deserve to have a evening for themself after taking care of 5 children. They trust me enough to take care of my younger siblings for a few hours.

"I just finished bathing her and she's now asleep as well as Alessandro."

My mother gives me a kiss on the cheek, "thank you baby, we are so thankful that they have an older brother like you."

My father nods in agreement, a smile prominent on his face.

"We will be on our way but don't hesitate to call us if anything happens. Understand?" My father says sternly but gently.

I nod my head, "don't worry, everything will be fine. Enjoy your evening."

With that I give mamma a goodbye kiss on the cheek and walk out.

Little did I know that it would be the last time I see my sister.

Presence:

A knock on my office door interrupts my thoughts quickly. I sigh and say a low 'come in'. A few seconds later, my two years younger brother Stefano steps in, closing the door behind him again.

"Any news?" He ask immediately.

I sigh, "no. It's like she vanished off the face of earth."

His shoulders slumps. Even though we all were pretty young when she was kidnapped, we all feel the loss we endured. She brought happiness towards us without even trying.

"We will find her Enz." I don't answer him, not knowing if the statement is true or not.

Ignoring it I ask, "where are the others?"

"Ricci is downstairs in the kitchen and Alessandro is out with the triples."

The triples are our cousins, Antonio, Arturo and Ángel. They are the sons of my uncle, my fathers brother. Their father is in Mexico at the moment but will come to America at Alessandros and Aurora's birthday. Alessandro never really celebrate his birthday, even as a child he would always be angry at any of us if we did.

He kept saying that there is no reason for him to celebrate if his twin isn't by his side. Her being gone is hard on all of us but it's worst on him. She is his other half even thought they were only one year old, he is miserable but tries to hide it the best he can.

"We're going to the warehouse later, gotta get them to look more out and ask around in the underground more." I state to which he nods.

Suddenly my office phone rings.

I pick it up, "Ferrari here." My voice cold and demanding.

The person clears their voice, "Mr. Ferrari, doctor Alfonso here. She is found."

My body freezes, shock overcoming me before I clear my thoughts, "explain. Now!" Stefano looks at me with confusion but I hold my finger up, signing that he should wait.

"A colleague from New York called, saying that he got a patient in. A female, nearly 18, name is Aurora and her blood matches with your fathers." His voice shaky with happiness yet sadness in it.

I jump up, throwing on my jacket while answering, "which hospital and the name of the doctor." He gives me the information and I hang up without a goodbye.

I push my way past Stefano who looks like a lost puppy, not knowing what's going on.

"What the fuck, Enz! What's going on man?" He yells while I'm already downstairs near the front door.

I shout over my shoulder, "get your fucking asses outside. We fly to New York. NOW! And for fucks sake, call the pilot and say to get the damn jet ready or so help me god!"

I hear them running after me, Ricci yelling at the pilot over the phone before we all got into my black BMW. I drive off as soon as we all are set.

"Are you gonna tell us what the fuck is going on?" Ricci demands.

The grip on the steering wheel is getting tighter, "Aurora. We found her. She is in a hospital in New York. No information in what condition."

After a few minutes without a reply, I look over to them for a short time. They look in shock. Ricci looks paler as paper, his mouth wide open. The same for Stefano, though, I clearly see tears in his eyes.

No one of us says a word, trying to comprehend this information.

We will see you soon bambina.
