Unexpected Situation

Skylar and Lucian look at each other before they turn to look at Luciano who has a harden look plaster all over his face.

"Ermm, frati (brother) do you want to head out for a bit? I bet she was stressed out" said Lucian trying to calm his brother down.

"Let's go," said Luciano as he stands up and as he was about to walk away, Skylar cut his track by hold onto his arms.

"Wait Luciano, I know that you feel like this isn't going anywhere but please ignore her attitude just for today I will try to ask why is she being hostile towards you okay," said Skylar as she holds onto Luciano's right arm.

"Sky, you are a good friend but one's feeling couldn't be forced and if she wants me to stay away from her it's about time I do what she wants," said Luciano as he looks at Skylar.

After unplanned eavesdropping on their conversation in the living room, Stella slowly closes her bedroom door and hug her son who was sleeping peacefully as she has a mix feeling about her attitude towards Luciano.

Soon enough both mother-son duo enter dreamland. After an hour of a nap, both Marius and Stella woke up from their naps feeling fresh and energetic. Both mother-son duo head over to the living room and encounter both Lucian and Skylar cooking lunch for them looking happy around each other which makes Stella feel slightly pinch on her heart.

"You two look good together," said Stella to Skylar and Lucian who smiles at her while Marius happily pushing himself around in his baby walker.

"You can have this if you stop being an ass," said Skylar as she looks at Stella annoyingly.

"What's with your attitude?" asked Stella as she raises an eyebrow towards Skylar.

"Nothing, just mirroring yours," said Skylar as she fake smile towards her best friend before she turns around and continues cooking.

"I don't need this type of attitude from you Sky, not now," said Stella as she stands near the kitchen counter.

"And neither does him," said Skylar still giving back to Stella.

"Can you leave us for a moment Lucian?" asked Stella as she looks at Lucian how was cutting vegetables.

"Su-" reply Lucian midway as Skylar cut his sentence off.

"No, he will not go anyway. If you have anything to say then say it in front of us" said Skylar as she turns around and looks at Stella dead in her eyes.

"I seriously like, don't even know you these past months, are you changing to be a better person or are you changing yourself to be a loner? Since you have Marius, your att-" add Skylar but was cut by Stella.

"Don't even drag him into this. This conversation was supposed to be between us but you. You really trying to get on my nerve aren't you" said Stella in an almost low-angry tone in which makes Lucian look at her suspiciously.

"Then tell us why you act like this towards Luciano, knowing that he likes you and was ready to take good care of the both of you?" asked Skylar as she folds her arms together.

"I've told you the last time, didn't I?! Why I did what I have to do, in order to keep both my son and my own safety. Don't bring this shit up on purpose and try to blame all of that towards me. You know damn well I can take good care of Marius. I certainly do not need any fucking man to keep me safe, I do that job better than any of them" said Stella slightly in a high angry tone in which makes Marius quickly grab Stella's pants before he pushes himself away from her and head over to their bedroom area.

"I know you call him Lucian. I saw your hand moves and you don't need to pretend. It's good that he can hear me now and get the fuck out of our life. We both don't need any of you and Sky, I'm disappointed in you, I thought you know me better and hear my answer like an adult over a warm coffee or wine at night as I wanted to tell you but now that everyone is present here let me tell you why I don't want to be near Luciano or The Maranzano family" add Stella as she looks at them both in a blank face.

"I always think positive like everything happens because of certain reasons but now it isn't. After knowing Luciano, both of our life is in mess and I'm talking about Luciano and mine. I know he was trying to win my heart but every time he tries he'll end up hurting my son. The son who was given to me in a situation that none of you will ever understand, why on earth I'm so overprotective of him. Every time Marius wasn't in my arms, he will and almost get hurt by people who surrounded him. I'm an overprotective mother? Yes, I admit that because I am and I will always be an overprotective mother towards him because of shits that he already encounters at a young age that he might remember and Luciano you are a walking disaster, get your shit together, strengthen your security team or else they will serve your head in a silver platter without you know, on that note, please excuse me" said Stella as she turns around and walks over to her son who was playing at the living room.

Stella then picks Marius up and head over to their bedroom. She then hugs her son closely and tries to calm her anger down before she starts to pack the necessity inside the backpack and head out from their shared penthouse.

"Stell where are you going?" asked Luciano as he grabs Stella's arm midway from the living room to the lift in which she harshly pulls away.

"None of your business and get lost," said Stella as she put Marius in the baby stroller.

Both Lucian and Stella quickly walk over to the living room and caught Stella with a backpack that enough for a day out clothes inside and a stroller heading towards the lift.

"Lia. Where are you going?" asked Skylar full-on worry.

"I just need to cool my head for now. You know where I'm going" said Stella as she heads inside the lift and looks at Skylar directly, which she then nods her head in understanding.

Both Stella and Marius then head over to the car and drove off from the penthouse and head over to her other family's house.

"I'm sorry frati (brother), I didn't know she was dead serious," said Lucian as he holds Luciano's shoulder.

"It's not your fault frati (brother), this is what she wants then let it be" reply Luciano as he turns to look at his brother.

"But you just found her after all these years of searching, you could-" said Lucian but stopped midway as he slaps his mouth with his right palm silencing himself.

"Did I miss something?" asked Skylar as she looks at them both.

"Nothing worth speaking of" answer Luciano.

"Not worth talking?! Frati! (brother) this is the woman whom you've been searching for this whole years. The one whom you couldn't stop thinking about and talking about. You seriously going to just let her go and forget her?" asked Lucian as he speaks his mind out while looking at his brother in disbelief.

"There's something I really miss didn't I?" asked Skylar again.

This time both brothers look at Skylar before Luciano nods his head towards Lucian and walk over to the living room area.
