FLASHBACK.
"You are nothing but a filth on my name..."
Luciano wiped fifteen years old Sebastian who was hanging to the wall tied to chains. Sebastian has already stopped screaming, he was numb.
Vincenzo was sitting on the dirty floor covering his ears, every whip which was landing on Sebastian was leaving a mark on his innocent mind too.
"Get up boy..."
Luciano kicked him making him fall on the ground.
"Get up and take the knife..."
He ordered and Vincenzo stood up treambling in fear.
"Hurry up, pussy..."
Luciano slapped him.
Vincenzo rubbed his slapped cheek and quickly picked up the knife.
"Get me the eyes of that man..."
Luciano pointed towards the man who was tied to the chair.
"I can't father..."
Vincenzo said In shaky voice but he was again met with the harsh slap.
"I said do it..."
Luciano growled.
"I don't want to..."
Vincenzo yelled and started crying.
"I know how to make you do it..."
With that Luciano left the basement.
"What happened, can't take the beating, bastard"
Sebastian mocked.
Vincenzo glared at him.
"Look at yourself first, then talk..."
"At least I am not crying like a fucking pussy..."
Sebastian mocked while spitting blood.
"Kill him... Vincenzo..."
"Are you mad, I am not killing anyone..."
Vincenzo yelled.
"If you won't kill him then he will kill us... He is a monster not a father... If not you then he will definitely kill me..."
Sebastian said.
"Then let him kill you, I don't care..."
"Just think about it Vincenzo, we will be free. He won't torture us anymore. Our mother will be free..."
"She is my mother, not yours..."
Vincenzo growled.
Sebastian clenched his jaw.
"Kill him, Vincenzo... If you kill him I won't call her my mother again, I will leave this place... You won't have to share her with me..."
Vincenzo was about to answer him but at the same time Luciano came back with little Maria and Matthew. Maria was crying on top of her lungs.
Luciano threw them on the floor roughly.
Sebastian started struggling in his bounds when he saw his siblings getting a abused and Vincenzo was already boiling in anger.
"Leave them alone..."
He growled.
"Do as I say and won't skin them alive..."
Luciano chuckled.
"Do it Vincenzo..."
Sebastian growled.
Vincenzo looked at the little kids and leaned to their level.
"Maria, Matthew sit in the corner and close your eyes for me..."
"It's hawlting..."
Maria said rubbing her scratched knees and sobbed.
"I will make it stop, angel... I promise... It won't hurt again."
He cooed her.
"Listen to him baby, please..."
Sebastian said and the kids nodded.
Matthew and Maria sat in the corner with closed eyes.
Luciano thought Vincenzo is going to hurt that man but instead he attacked him. He tried to tackle Vincenzo but furious boy roughly made him fall on the concrete floor.
Before Luciano could stop him Vincenzo stabbed in his heart and kept stabbing until Catherine pulled him away from the deadbody...
Keeping his promise Sebastian left with his grandfather and never called Catherine his mother again but he always Loved her like one, she was indeed his mother, more than his real one.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
Florina stopped at the door of their bedroom and wiped her tears. She slowly walked inside, Sebastian was standing by the window shirtless.
Her eyes roamed on his tattooed back thinking how much scars he is hiding beneath it. Scars on his body might fed away but what about the scars Luciano has left on his mind, soul and heart.
Walking towards him Florina hugged him from behind. Sebastian was taken aback back for a moment.
"Butterfly..."
He turned around and she hugged him tightly. He embraced her while rubbing her back.
"What happened?..."
"Nothing, I just needed this..."
She mumbled with tight throat.
"Is it hurting again..."
He asked thinking she is getting cramps. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"No, I am fine..."
She pulled away from the hug.
"Then why are you crying..."
He asked cupping her face.
She didn't wanted to tell him that she knows everything and put a salt on his wounds, if he wants her to know then he will tell her by himself, thinking that she said.
"Because... Umm... Because I thought you are angry with me. Whatever I did in the morning. I am sorry, I can't hate you..."
he chuckled.
"What... Your are crazy butterfly, no I am not angry with you... Come here..."
He again embraced her in a hug.
"Where is vincenzo?..."
She asked.
"I don't know, he was quite mad... May be he is in study. We need to talk about Maria but I don't have energy for that, we'll do that tomorrow..."
Sebastian sighed.
"Can I go to him..."
She asked hesitatingly.
"I think you should leave him alone for now, he was quite angry but if you want then go ahead..."
"Okay..."
He nodded, She turned around but stopped and again looked at him.
"Sebastian?..."
"Hmm?"
He looked at her and raised his eyebrows amused as she pecked his lips.
"Are you sure that it's not your other habit to act weird when you are on periods..."
He asked chuckling.
She blushed.
"Shut up..."
With that she ran outside making his shook his head at her behavior. He was happy that she came to him by herself, he never thought that little hug and peck on lips from a girl will matter so much to him.
Florina entered the study room and saw Vincenzo sitting on the sofa in dim lights.
His hair was messy and he was looking quite disturbed.
"Vincenzo?..."
He looked up from the floor.
"What are you doing here?..."
"Can I sit with you, I won't disturb you I promise..."
She asked and he nodded.
Florina sat down beside him quietly.
"Talk to me Florina, this silence is eating me..."
He said in broken voice.
Florina wrapped her hands around his neck and made her sit on his lap. She placed his head on her shoulder and he happily nuzzled.
"Are you okay, Vincenzo..."
Florina asked gulping down the lump in her throat. She couldn't even imagine the things they both have gone through. When Sebastian said that she won't understand, he wasn't stating anything wrong. Her childhood was full of happiness unlike them full of fear and darkness. They didn't got the chance to live like a normal kids.
"I don't know, i feel empty..."
He mumbled.
Then she realized how broken he really is.
"I am here for you, Vincenzo... You are not alone."
"You won't leave me, right?..."
She tightened her hold around him.
"I won't, I can't... I am sorry for calling you monster, Vincenzo... Please forgive me..."
"It's okay... That's what I am..."
"No, you are not..."
Pulling away, she cupped his cheeks.
"You are not a monster... Don't say that..."
"What's changed your mind..."
He asked with scrutinizing gaze.
"It doesn't matter. I don't hate you and never will..."
She kissed his lips making him smile.
"You look beautiful when you smile."
She said admiring his smile.
"You are the only weird thing in my life right now..."
He chuckled.
"I know, I am the one and only piece..."
She giggled.
"Yeah, can see that..."
He stroked her cheeks lovingly.
"I need you Florina, I want you to bring all the colors in my life which you carry in yourself... I wanna be happy with you..."
"I promise, I will fill your life with every color of happiness..."
She smiled and Vincenzo pulled her in a deep kiss.
"Should I start with your wardrobe, I wanna make it colorful..."
She said naughtily.
Vincenzo shook his head.
"except that, do me a favor and Spare that thing..."
And They both burst out laughing.
