"Salvatore's right," Stefano said. "It's time for you to learn the rules, Regina."
Stefano's and Salvatore's voices were cold and cruel. They stared at me as if they were looking at a criminal.
Just then, Antonia fixed a gentle expression on her face and said, "Forget it. I'm the older one, so it's only natural for me to tolerate my younger sister's behavior. Besides, it's my birthday banquet tomorrow. I still want Gina to be there."
The Farro brothers stiffened at the mention of tomorrow. I also didn't miss the way a hint of hesitance and regret flickered in their eyes. However, their regret was short-lived and paled in comparison to their love for Antonia.
"At the end of the day, you're the one who bullied Antonia. I won't punish you tonight, but I'll definitely punish you once Antonia's birthday banquet is over."
They then turned around and left, taking Antonia with them.
In the past, I would have been filled with terror as I chased after Stefano to apologize to him, begging him not to be angry with him. But now, I simply watched their retreating backs.
"Antonia Leone, you'll never get what doesn't belong to you. As for the two of you, Stefano and Salvatore Farro, I'll never forgive either of you ever again," I declared calmly.
They paused briefly before they continued walking toward the door. The door slammed shut behind them with a deafening bang, locking me in this room that was a chaotic mess.
I didn't ask anyone for help as I retrieved the first-aid kit and began cleaning my wound. When I removed the glass from my palm with a pair of tweezers, I was suddenly reminded of how panicked Stefano would get whenever I hurt myself in the past.
He would insist on personally dressing my wound even if it was just a little scratch.
However, at that moment, he only cared about another woman when my palm was riddled with wounds.
My phone chimed then, notifying me that I had received a message. It was from Stefano.
"You scared Antonia. I'll make it up to her on your behalf tonight. I want you to personally apologize to her during her birthday banquet tomorrow."
My heart throbbed in pain. Unable to stop the tears from streaming down my face, I replied to his message with a simple "okay".
Stefano had no idea that Grandpa would be taking me away tomorrow. I wouldn't be attending Antonia's birthday banquet. I also didn't want Stefano and Salvatore anymore.
