With the pocket knife in his hand, Fernando quietly leaves his parent's bedroom and quickly makes his way to Victoria's bedroom since it is the closest one, but he tries hard not to panic when he notices the door is open, he quickly rushes in, and sees a man dressed in all black armed with a silenced pistol aiming directly at Victoria's head, Fernando without thinking twice closes in on the the assassin, and starts stabbing him in the neck repeatedly, with Victoria waking up from the sound of the scuffle and shouted.
"Nando!"
he wakes up with a killer headache, he turned over to his side and sees Vicky, looking at him whispering.
"Good morning, Nando."
he groans, with his mind not processing that he just woke up in bed with Vicky. He slowly sits and asks, while holding his head
"Did we drink a lot?"
she answers.
"Yeah, we kinds of did, but it was fun, wasn't it?"
he sighs.
"I guess."
she replies.
"Now lay back down so we can get more sleep."
he thinks to himself, still not realizing that he just woke up in his sister's bedroom.
"she's right, I should sleep a little bit."
as he lays back down, Vicky shuffles closer to him, up to the point where he feels her bare breasts pressed onto his arm, and in that moment his brain finally realizes where he is at and what's going on, he then asks reluctantly since he was afraid of the answer.
"Vicky, how did I end up in your bedroom?"
she responds while comfortably snuggling closer to him.
"You meanie, you don't remember what we did?"
he swallows hard as he panics in his thoughts.
"No, it can't be. Please don't tell me we had sex."
she continues while seductively rubbing his chest.
"After we got home, Christina and Madison went straight to bed, but me and you hung out in the living room with mom who was waiting for our return."
he thinks to himself.
"Oh God, it's going to get worse."
she continues.
"she went to bed, but we stuck around, and you told me a couple of your experiences in prison and showed me your scars."
he scolds himself in his mind.
"damn it, you idiot, you better have not blabbed about the shit you had to do in there."
she carries on with what she is saying.
"After that, we began making out on the couch, but you pulled away and said that we shouldn't be
doing things like that with each other."
she giggles.
"but I didn't listen and convinced you to follow me to my bedroom, where you took me like a starving wild animal."
she leans over him and plants a kiss on his lips.
"I had a great time."
his mind explodes.
"Fernando, how could you do that to your little sister?"
he then slides out of her bed and says nervously while standing there, only wearing his boxers.
"How about I leave before I get caught in your bed."
she gets out of bed as well, revealing that she is only wearing a pair of black laced panties, she then stretches her arms up in the air, purposely showing her bare breasts to Fernando, she then said.
"I wouldn't worry if I was you since they all saw us earlier before you woke up."
he slams his head into the wall.
"My life is over. Mom and Brandon are going to kill me."
she puts on her bra and hugs Fernando.
"Mom won't kill you. She didn't even react negatively when she saw us. Instead, she smiled and said that she'll have breakfast ready for us."
still unwrapping what she said, he thinks to himself.
"Oh God, our mom knows."
she puts puts on his white shirt, that is too large for her, and grabs his hand.
"Come on, let's go eat some breakfast."
he puts on the chinos he wore yesterday and follows her out of her bedroom, not aware that he is shirtless and asks.
"What about Chris and Maddy? what did they say?"
she leads him towards the stair while still holding his hand.
"they were upset that I got a head start with you."
he stops her on the top of the stairs while thinking.
"Head start? she makes it sound like they are competing."
he asks her.
"What do you mean by head start? am I missing something here?"
she sighs.
"Look, I'm not supposed to tell you yet, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you."
she looks at him, waiting to see if he is going to something, but he just stares silently, preparing himself for whatever she might say. She then continues.
"Well, as already you know, we aren't blood family."
he replies.
"Yes, I know that already, so explain what you meant by head start."
she grumbles.
"Wow, so grumpy in the morning."
he pinches her nose playfully.
"Oh, you haven't seen grumpy yet."
she laughs.
"All right, alright, alright will you let me talk then?"
she sighs.
"well dad, hasn't been a big fan of us dating, and after you got locked up, he noticed how much we changed after that night, and he gave us the green light to marry you."
he chokes on his spit and starts violently coughing, but she ignores him and continues while smiling.
"anyways he always thought that no man would ever be good enough for us, but you risked your life to protect us on that night and that led him to believe you would take one of our hands in marriage."
he asks.
"So mom is aware of all this?"
she nods.
"Yeah, that is why she didn't react when she saw you in my bed. If anything, she was more surprised that I made the first move on you."
he shakes his head in disbelief.
"I'm at a loss for words, I feel like I'm having an out of body experience."
he begins to laugh like he has lost his mind.
"Oh, I see what's going on, I'm still in solitary confinement, and I'm hallucinating this whole thing to cope with how long I've been here."
she hugs him and reassures him
"No, this isn't some crazy dream or wild hallucination. You are here with us, and this whole situation is real."
he touches her face, almost as he is trying to convince himself that it this isn't really happening.
"Brandon wouldn't be okay with me being with any of you."
she replies.
"But he is, and he is going to tell you himself, after he reveals to you, that we took you in to be part of our family."
she grabs his hand and they head downstairs towards the kitchen together where they are met with Christina and Madison staring at Fernando who failed to notice the he was still shirtless, exposing the scars he got during his time in prison, he sits down and awkwardly smiles.
"Good morning."
Meanwhile, Victoria sits next to Fernando and slides her chair closer to him and leans on his shoulder while hooking on to this arm, Christina smirks.
"Has fun?"
Madison understands her implications and looks down at her food as her face turns red, while Victoria continues clings to him and winks at her.
"Absolutely, it was incredible."
Jennifer brings them their plates and clear her throat.
"Well, it's good to know that you kids had fun."
she looks at an uncomfortable looking Fernando and said.
"Honey, relax it's natural when two people who are attracted to each other, to get intimate, so don't feel ashamed about it."
Fernando takes a mouthful of scrambled eggs and replies.
"I'm not ashamed, just a bit embarrassed since you all know."
Fernando clears his throat.
"Vicky, can you stop clinging, I'm trying to eat."
she giggles.
"All right."
Christina looks at Vicky, who is still wearing Fernando's shirt and grins.
"You look hot in his shirt."
Madison elbows Christina.
"Shush, and let us eat in peace."
Fernando, whose mind has been playing catch up since he woke up, finally notices that Victoria is wearing his shirt, and he is shirtless. He groans while thinking to himself.
"Second day back home, and I'm already embarrassed."
he continues eating while wondering.
"I need to tell Christina about what Paul told, me so that she can keep an eye out on her phone, since I told him to tell Denise to tell Christina since I still don't have a phone."
he finishes breakfast and asks Jennifer.
"Do you know where dad is at?"
she answers.
"Yeah, he should be out in the back."
he turns to Victoria and asks, feeling a bit shy.
"Um, can I get my shirt back."
she smiles.
"Of course."
she takes off his shirt and hands over to him, showing that she is in her black laced panties and black bra, showing zero shame, Jennifer snaps at Victoria.
"Victoria, go put on something decent!"
she plants a kiss on Fernando's cheek and giggles.
"Oops, looks like I got in trouble."
he puts on his shirt and thinks to himself.
"I dotn remember Vicky being a troublemaker, but now she seems very mischievous, just like Chris."
Fernando finishes putting on his shirt and says to Jennifer.
"Thank you for the breakfast, mom."
she kisses him on the cheek.
"No problem, honey."
he goes to the back where he spots Brandon wearing blue swimming trunks and sunglasses, sitting on one of the long inclining chairs, while talking on the phone, he then makes his way to him and takes the seat next to his, making sure that Brandon saw him, he looks at Fernando and covers the phone while he quitely said.
"Give me a minute, son."
he overhears him talking on the phone.
"Yes, sir. of course, he'll be able to do it. he's ready to meet you any day that you are free. That sounds good, sir. thank you, bye."
Brandon smiles.
"Hey, just the man I wanted to see."
he then said.
"I've got good news for you."
Fernando asks.
"What is it?"
he answers.
"You are finally meeting the boss next week, and he wants to meet you and give you a job guarding one of the many underground clubs that are run by the Sabatoni's."
he continues.
"he already knows what you are capable of since you efficiently killed those bastards that came for you guys that night."
he then asks.
"Anyways, you came out here looking for me. Did you need something?"
Fernando responds.
"I met Paul Caruso yesterday when we went out to the club and he offered me a job at his family's restaurant."
Brandon takes off his sunglasses and points it at Fernando.
"You will decline that offer, I can't have you working there."
Fernando knows why Brandon is against it since the Caruso's were the one who called the hit on them that night, but he also knows that Brandon can't do nothing about in since the Sabatoni boss have made a peace treaty with the Caruso's, he then replies.
"I already accepted, since we are on good terms with the Caruso's."
Brandon looks like he wants to tell Fernando why he doesn't want him anywhere near the Carusos but holds back and said.
"Alright, just be careful around them, I don't trust them."
he then asks.
"Was that it, son?'
Fernando sighs while thinking.
"I can't let him know that I found out that I'm not his real son when I was in prison."
he then said to Brandon.
"Dad, I already know that you brought me in and treated me like your own son."
Brandon looks devastated that Fernando already knows and asks.
"How'd you find out?"
he answers.
"sisters told me, and mom confirmed it."
he then continues.
"Dad, don't get mad at them."
he rubs his eyes and sighs
"I wanted to be the one to tell you, but I guess it can't be helped."
he then clears his throat.
"Now, before the girls reveal anything else without my knowledge, I'll tell you something else."
Fernando thinks to himself.
"Tell me that you knew my parents."
he continues.
"I'm giving you permission to marry one of your sisters since I know you'll protect and take care of them."
Fernando, unable to comprehend that he wants him to marry one of his sisters, is left sitting speechless while Brandon gets up and leaves
"I'll leave you your thoughts, and remember what I said earlier, to be careful around the Carusos."
after Brandon disappears into the house, Christina comes out and approaches Fernando while holding her phone.
"Hey Nando, I hope you didn't make any plans, because Denise told me that Paul wants you to come by his family's restaurant."
he sits up.
"Well then, I guess I better get going."
Christina gives him the stink face.
"How?"
he replies, shrugging his shoulders.
"Uh, the bus, I guess."
she shakes her head.
"No need, I'll give you a ride and keep you company."
he replies.
"Thanks, sis, but let me take a shower first, and then we'll get going."
she responds.
"All right, I'll wait for you in the living room."
not wanting to waste time, he makes his way upstairs to shower.
