Elena's POV:

"Sofia Colombo gave Rome Rizzo a blowjob in her dorm room." I updated Amelia on the weekly gossip.

I sat on her bed while eating take out fried chicken. She wasn't allowed to eat anything soldi yet but she likes the smell of friend chicken. I didn't mind eating it so I gladly helped!

"No way!" She grinned excitedly.

"Yeah, her papa found out." I added.

Her eyes went wide but before she could demand more details, someone tugged my hair. I turned to meet Silas' scowl. I grinned at him but he just scoffed.

"You little shit, don't you have lectures to attend?"

"They're being recorded." I shrugged.

Besides, I knew that Amelia liked having me around. We talked for a long as we could and I knew how desperate I was for someone to be with me when I was in the hospital.

"I'll call Hector and tell him all about how you're neglecting your education." He threatened me.

"Then I'll tell him all about how you gave your number to that nurse." I smirked.

He narrowed his eyes but backed off. He sat back down on the chair next to Amelia's bed and sent me a dirty glare. Our parents went home to freshen up. They've been here for the past two weeks, not leaving Amelia's side.

"I don't know why you're into that nurse. She looks nothing like Belle." I commented.

Amelia giggled while Silas tensed. I was only teasing him but the mention of Belle always got him tense. Even in the car when I blast her songs. It isn't my fault that she only releases bops.

"Don't get involved into my love life." Silas warned me.

"You should make up. It's been almost a decade since you broke up and you're both not over each other." Amelia spoke up.

Belle hasn't dated anyone since Silas. Mom and Belle were close because mom was the one who discovered her. She saw her performance online and decided to give her a record deal.

"Mom says that if you just get the balls to apologise to her, that you two will be fine." I added.

He got up from his seat and stormed out like the drama Queen he truly was. Amelia and I rolled our eyes.

"We should set them up. Do Cupid's work." Amelia suggested.

"Yeah, let's just DM Belle on insta and ask her to date our brother."

She gave me a look but I couldn't help being sarcastic. She had it coming.

"What I actually meant is that we should ask mom to work her magic." She clarified.

"Do you think that'll work?" I wondered.

"How did you think they ended up dating in the first place?"

My jaw dropped and I leaned closer. I avoided touching her midsection because she was still healing but her legs were fine. Besides, we were both cuddly persons.

"Tell me everything!" I squealed.

Was this an invasion of my brother's privacy? Probably.

Do I care? I should.

"Silas has a crush on her first. He'd also go with mom to the office as her supposed guard but all he did was hang out with Belle. Then mom set them up for a date. It was the only time that I saw Silas being nervous and fidgety. He tried on like a million different outfits for that date."

I laughed. Can you imagine Silas standing in front of his mirror holding up different shirts to his chest?

"They dated for four years, I think." Amelia added.

Silas told me about that part a while back.

"He once told me they broke up because he hurt her. He said that a lot was happening at the time with Victor and mom." I brought up.

Amelia nodded and bit her lip.

"It was a few years after Victor got kidnapped and he was still recovering. He used to have night terrors and he'd scream so loud that the entire house woke up. You know how close they are and how protective Silas is of Vic."

What happened to Victor was horrifying. It broke my heart that he had to go through all that pain. He was such a sweet and kind guy. I understood why Silas was so protective of him.

"Mom was not doing well back then. She was sinking into a depression. The atmosphere at home was tense and it affected his relationship."

"He told me that she's the love of his life." I muttered.

Amelia smiled sadly.

"She is but you know Silas..."

"Family above everything." I finished her sentence.

It was a good and strong message but I could see how he was loosing himself. He needed more than family, just like everybody else.

/////////////

"I think it makes you look sexy." I told Amelia.

We were in Italy for summer vacation. She had made a full recovery, but her injury had left a scar. It was on her stomach and noticeable when she wore a bikini.

I know how much thought she puts into her appearance but I didn't want her to think that this scar made her ugly. It showed that she was a fighter and that made her the most beautiful girl in the world to me.

"What about-" I cut her off by placing my hands on her shoulders.

We stood in our room, ready to go to the pool. She had been staring in the mirror for the past five minutes.

"No one will ever make you feel any less of you let them. You're one of the strongest women I know. You've survived so much and that scar is only a reminder of your strength. Don't let it be anything less than that."

Tears appeared in her eyes and I pulled her in for a hug. The shooting happened months ago but no one can just get over it that easily.

"You should be a therapist." Amelia whispered in my ear.

"I'll have a mental breakdown by the end of my first day. I think I like becoming a CEO much more."

We pulled back and chuckled. I linked our arms and grabbed my sunglasses.

"You enjoy yelling at people too much." She grinned.

Though, I didn't see myself becoming a tyrant boss, I couldn't help but smirk. I did like to yell but only to assholes who deserve it.

Like fucking Silas who takes away my cake pops because he claims that I've had enough.

I've only had ten. What does he mean that I've had enough??

We walked down the stairs and found our family hanging out at the pool. I wanted to lay down and sunbathe for a while but then I saw Fabio on a floaty in the pool.

I squealed so loud that I woke Leonardo up from his nap. Amelia and I basically ran towards the pool. We jumped in together and went to our cute nephew. Theo was pushing him back and forth on the flamingo floaty that nearly swallowed little Fabio whole.

But he was enjoying it so much. He was kicking him legs and squealed in delight when I touched his cute belly.

"Hi!" He waved.

He was a big fan of saying him aside from mama and papa. I grinned widely and squeezed his chubby cheeks. Ariana had dressed him in the most adorable pair of swimming trunks. They had little koalas on them.

"Hello, cutie. Did you miss auntie?" I asked while holding out my arms to him.

My heart nearly burst out of my chest when he happily jumped in my arms. I caught him and hugged him close to me. Fabio made me want to have babies. I didn't know baby fever could be that bad.

"His smile is all you need to feel better." Amelia muttered while caressing Fabio's back.

I nodded in agreement. Fabio made me feel warm inside. He was so full of love and I wanted him to be the happiest boy in the world.

////////////////

Mom was more effective than Cupid himself. I don't know how she works her magic but I wished she saved some for me.

Your girl wants a boyfriend to cuddle with.

Amelia and I had approached her with the request to help Silas out. He wanted Belle back in his life. It was as clear as day and he just needed a little push in the right direction.

Only mom didn't give a push, no she forced them together in a room for an hour. Her methods were quite brutal but she had a great success rate.

I'd thought that forcing them in a room together wasn't going to work but when they walked out, they looked less tense. Then I caught Silas standing in front of his mirror with two shirts a few days later.

He was getting ready for a date with Bella.

Maybe they'd start dating again. Only time would tell but things were definitely starting to settle down again. Everybody was heading towards happiness right now.

Theo had already reached his happiness. I could see how much he loves his wife and son. There isn't a day when he's not laughing and he looks so much younger.

Hector smiled and laughed more often now that Dahlia was at his side. Nicolas was happy in Las Vegas and Leonardo was enjoying his university days. Victor was doing amazing in medical school and he really was so excited to become a doctor.

Amelia had her eyes set on Henry Walton and she was now actively pursuing him. She was planning on marrying him.

Everybody in my family had a partner or had found their place in this world.

Except for me.

I was on my way to become CEO of a recording studio but I started to long for other things.

A partner for myself.

Hey!

I first want to thank you all for reading my story, voting, and leaving comments. It really makes my day to see all the comments.

I try to post two chapters a day but I now will have to post one chapter a day. I'm still writing the upcoming chapters, so I can't post more.
