Sixteen years later

It's been fifteen long years since Ava and Dimitri were born Romeo and Rocco had finished high school and were attending college so they could no longer look after their baby brother and sister. Dimitri had sworn to take care of Ava; there were too many predators in highschool who wanted them just because of their name. And one in particular had their eye on Ava, his sworn enemy Arian Ashford. None of them had gotten on since day fucking one.

He and Arian had come to blows several times. He had taken it a lot easier in Ava being a girl, but he knew exactly how to torment her. Both he and Arian had been warned that if there was any nonsense this year they would both be out of highschool without thinking twice they had been suspended too many times to count over the years and quietly frankly their father was pissed off with him getting suspended over trivial shit. He had warned Dimitri to be the bigger man and keep his fists to himself until they had left school where no one could expel him for his actions and Dimitri had planned to go to college with Ava.

Ava was more laid back than her twin brother she planned then executed. She was just waiting for the right time. She knew Arian only used harsh and cruel words to make her retaliate but his plan seems to have backfired. Maybe she wasn't such a push over as he had once thought. They had no idea why he had taken an instant disliking it to them, but the feeling was mutual.

Over the years Arian and Dimitri had been in more fights than the both of them could count. He wasn't as laid back as Ava he retaliated at the slightest thing and that made him more of a target for Arian's plans on the other hand Aria had become more of a rest to him the girl was indeed hard hearted. The more he tried to break down her walls the more she put up the harder he got.

His hate was slowly turning into an obsession he had to have with this girl no matter what. He knew she hated him but he didn't care he would make her like him. Eventually. He would pursue her and get his revenge on those who killed his father. The father he had never met. The father who never knew that he had some cause some SOB had killed him.

He hadn't known about his father until he was fourteen long after his infant hatred towards the twins. Now he had a reason to hate them. His mother had sat him down when he had turned fourteen and told him about father . She had kept him away from him until now he assumed his father had never wanted him, but it was the complete opposite. He had been murdered in cold blood along with his two brothers and grandfather. She had planned on reeling him before she had finished college. She was younger than him and had met through a mutual friend he had completed college, and she was in her first year. They had clicked right away and had become a couple instantly. She loved him deeply and was never sure he felt the same way cause his family were well known and she wasn't sure she would ever be welcomed into their family as her upbringing wasn't as good as his.

He had been living in his fathers estate and they would meet up after dark if they weren't in college on the same days. She hasn't seen him for a few days and he hadn't met her at their usual spot then the breaking news came that the tycoon of Caprioli Industries and his three sons had been found dead in his family home shot down. There was no sign of a forced entry but it was known that the family had many enemies in the corporate world.

From that day onward he vowed to kill those who had killed his father. Those who had left him without a father figure his mom was great but he needed his father's guidance too. He had started digging around to find out any information on who had killed his father, his uncles and grandfather and he would appease them. They would incur the same death as they had. But he knew he had to be careful and view his time.

He eventually found someone who would help him find out who killed them and he had one by one their family would be first then them but now he had another reason to take them out he wanted Ava and with them in the way he knew he would never get her so he would make her watch each and everyone one of them die for what they did. They would pay and she would be left with no one but him.

Dimitri had been trying for years to figure out who Arian Ashford really was. But every search had come up empty. He was the only child of Kimberly Ashford, father unknown. He hadn't had any men in his life to claim as a stepfather little did Dimitri know but Arian had quashed any relationship his mother had in belief she was going against his father and cheating on his memory. Even though he had never known him. He didn't want or need a father figure; he had his mother that was the only person he needed and would ever love.

Nor did he have any intentions of having children or marrying. He had his eyes set on revenge which would come soon enough. He just had to bide his time until the end of school, everyone who tried to get in his way would come to an untimely death. He would make those who killed this suffer and die for their actions. His mother had no idea what his plans were or she would stop him no matter who killed his father she didn't believe in an eye for an eye. She was against anything that would take her son away from her. She didn't want what happened to his father to affect his education and his life. She didn't think it was necessary to seek revenge on those who took his father away from them cause he could've easily left them behind once he knew that she was pregnant.

Arian's anger was growing day by day minute by minute, hour by every godforsaken hour. He needed to get inpr in control or he would end up doing something stupid before the end of school.

He looked over at Ava and Dimitri who never seemed to be that far apart. Dimitri looked over at him and glared daggers at him; he just stared unbothered at the daggers Dimitri was sending him across the room.

"Who are you staring at Dim? If looks could kill they would be dead."

"The asshole was staring me down first."

She rolls her eyes. "If you're talking about Ashford leave it be you heard dad if there's any more problems between you two your toast."

He grunts. "Like I care, the guy is trouble, and he's had it in for us since day dot."

"Don't let him bother you Dim. He's trying to get a rise out of you and clearly it's working."

"How do you even ignore an asshole like him?"

"Easy. I don't fall for his bullshit you're too hot headed dim. You fall into his trap everytime use your head and don't retaliate. That'll piss him off more."

He nods and turns back to his work she sighs knowing her brother will never take any notice of her. He goes his own sweet way which ends him in a lot of shit. She's never had detention cause she doesn't fold and will never either. The prick has said some hurtful shit to her over the years but she lets it go over her head so she doesn't get into trouble unlike her dumbass brother. She shakes her head and gets back to her work once the bell rings they're first out of there. She doesn't want any trouble, not today.
