Cleodora P.O.V.
" Mistress we have arrived. " He said in a low but serious tone. As I looked outside I saw all the guards gathered in front of the main door waiting for my arrival. Uncle Joe opened the car door and escorted me out. While I was walking to the main door everyone outside bowed to me, It was more different than when I first arrived here because everyone was busy at the warehouse and also my Father wanted everyone here today as there is a party. As I arrived in front of the main door, the main two doors opened revealing all the maids lined up who bowed as they saw the big doors open and me walking in.
To be honest, everyone bowing to me with so much respect like this makes me feel like a princess, but it does have its downside like everyone is not allowed to talk to me or any of the family members unless of course they are spoken to, they are also not allowed look us in the eye as looking us in the eye means you are challenging us. But most of the time I kind of feel sad whenever I'm here as the maids and the bodyguards are not allowed to talk to us about personal matters, whenever I ask a personal question like where do you live? Do you have any siblings?
They usually say " I'm sorry Miss Lombardi but I can't talk to you about personal matters Master's orders. " And they'll just remain silent the whole time the only one who gets to talk to us casually are Uncle Joe and his wife Natalie my Father's P.A. and probably anyone who's a close family friend gets to talk to us casually. My Father and Mother always have their professionalism so they mostly keep everyone in line. I for one always wanted to have friends of my own without them minding my status their either scared of me or hated me but mostly scared of me as from a young age I learned that you can't trust anyone except for yourself.
My thoughts were interrupted by someone calling me. " Cleo come here darling. " I looked at the person and it was Camilla smiling softly while standing on top of the staircase leading to my room. " Yes? do you need something, Camilla? " I replied softly " Can we talk? " She asked with a stern face. " Sure. Lead the way. " I followed behind her as she went to the balcony in my room which is located in the West part of the house, While the East wing belongs to my parents, The North wing belonged to Camilla, Celena, and Cassandra. The South wing belongs to Caden and Cayson, And the West wing belongs to me. No need to wonder why I was the only one who has a whole part of the house to myself.
At Cleo's Room
" So what do you want to talk about? " I asked her while lighting up the cigarette that I took from my nightstand before going to my balcony. " Well, I know that both of us haven't always agreed with each other. And I was a b*tch to you for all our lives, and I haven't given you a proper apology for how I behaved back then. I was just jealous... " She paused for a second and sighed deeply before continuing " You were always in the spotlight, Mother, and Father gave you all the attention and didn't even bother being there for us which angered me. I know not your fault I guess I just needed an excuse to hate cause I can never be as perfect as... " Before she could finish I cut her off by saying " Hey that's not true. We're not the same so I don't see any reason for you to be like me. She's gone so you really don't have to prove anything to anyone. Always remember that the only approval you'll ever need is from yourself. Why would you continue to do something if you're not happy? You're amazing in your own way that's why an amazing person fell for you despite the hatred and anger, Daniel saw the amazing but broken girl in you so he mended you and now I can see it in your eyes you're finally happy and got the love and support you deserve. And I'm sorry I wasn't the best sister to you when you needed me. But I'm glad that you found Dan. " Camilla was silent and was looking down, So I just looked at the sun as it was setting. but immediately looked at Camilla when I heard sniffing.
* Sniff Sniff*
" Dude are you crying!? " I said as I looked at her and she immediately wiped her tears and replied in an almost yell " No! I just had something in my eye! " I chuckled and hugged her, not soon after she responded to the hug. A few minutes later we both pulled away " Please not a word about this to our siblings, They'll ask me for hugs now if they ever found out and we both know I'm not much of a hugger. "Haha don't I'm not much of a hugger either." she replied with a light chuckle. " Now that everythings cleared up. How are things with Mateo? "
She asked as I looked down knowing that I really don't know how to answer her questions myself.
" Well I don't really know. I've always thought that I didn't love him the way I loved Josh but recently, I don't know I'm truly confused. " She looked at me the back at the cars entering our big gates, indicating me to continue. " Everytime I kiss Josh I instantly think about s*x and... " I paused for a second looking down as my brows frowning in confusion, thinking about what is Josh to me and what do I feel around him. * Sigh* " S*x that's it. That's all I think about when I'm with him. While with Mateo... " I looked up at while my eyes lit up and glisten as I mentioned his name, with a big smile like I just won the lottery. "Well that my dear sister is the look of love." she looked at me with a big smile, I smiled back with a little blush on my cheek as I recalled the events of last night.
* Knock Knock *
" Sorry to bother you ladies but the party is going to start in about 10 minutes. "
