He takes a seat on my bed.
"Frayhani, it was never meant for you to find out this way. Since the day I was put in charge of you all, I've always felt the need to make sure you all were protected." He starts.
"You guys' safety was always my main priority. No matter what. So I felt as if keeping you and Sophia Alice in the dark about us was best. But clearly it wasn't."
"It makes you guys an easy target, unprotected, and vulnerable." He says.
"And I'm sorry for that." He says looking into my eyes.
"How could you not tell us our family is involved in the mafia? How did this even happen?
"It all goes to our birth parents, Frankie. Each and every one of ours. Even Caleb and Brianne." He says.
Mom and dad?
"Who were those guys? I ask my voice barley above a whisper.
"The Spanish mafia. Allies of the mafia who wants to see us fail the most."
"What do they want with me?
"They want revenge, Frankie. They want to see each and everyone of our parents dead. " He says.
"Which also leads to other things. Francesca and Armani didn't abandon you. It wasn't their choice. Everyone in this house wasn't adopted at random like you think they were. It was all for you guys protection."
"What about yours? I ask him.
"Same as you guys. Except that Dylan, Tomas and I are now old enough to take on bigger responsibilities.
"Responsibilities? Like what."
"That's for another day." He simply responds.
"Are mom and dad really lawyers? I ask.
"No. They're with us." He says.
"I know you hate it when they're not around, but they are actually putting up a hell of a fight for your safety. All of ours.' He tells me.

I stayed quiet debating on asking my last question.
In all things honesty, I was scared to.
"Do you kill? What about innocent people?
He takes a long pause.
"I never harm innocent people." He simply says before getting up and closing the door behind him.
I sigh and check the time.
It was almost 11:30 pm.
Xander and I had been talking for a while.
I got out of bed and changed into my pajamas.
I grabbed my pillow and made my way into Sophia Alice's room.
She turned her head.
"I can't sleep alone tonight. I just can't." I shake my head.
She nods her head and pulls me into a hug.
"I can't either." She whispers.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me. I couldn't resist. Cover by https://twitter.com/rajah_etc
